    You can dm me your name and I could take a look.
    Hey! I changed my pic the other day and haven’t noticed any change from it.
    I have no geo restrictions on either

    I’ve been staying on later the last few days but I’m just struggling to find times that work. Being in Australia makes it hard because I think the ‘peak’ times are at like 3am my time :/

    Would anyone be able to give me an idea of times that work well for them? I’m willing to try out some random times

    Me too Kami. 10 minutes + no $ = log off. If NO one comes in my room, 5 minutes tops.

    Yeah this is what I’ve been doing but unfortunately that’s leading to me having terrible hours haha. I take breaks usually if it’s really slow. But when it’s ALWAYS slow it’s harder

    Also, do you girls prefer to talk to the room or do you type to each person? Coming from places like MFC I’m used to always talking but I’ve seen through this thread that a lot of girls type to each customer.

    Do you used party chat?
    Which do you think works best, talking or typing?

    Yeah the trick is to have a hours/$ goal. You can log off but you need to finish up even if it sucks. SM rewards consistency. Don't worry about what you think are peak times for others it is about you and who you attract.

    I’ve been on streamate about 2 months now (been camming 2-3 years on other sites) and ever since losing my ‘new’ model tag I’ve been having so much trouble getting anyone in my room.

    My hours aren’t the best right now (doing my best to step it up, I’ve just always had trouble hanging around for hours in a dead room haha)

    So basically I have two questions

    1. What do you do when its really really dead (literally 0 people coming into the room) to keep yourself online? I’ve tried doing uni work, dancing, trying to keep myself occupied. But it’s honestly killing me

    2. How do you get more people to come in? I’ve got super good tech, good internet speeds (for Australia at least haha) and I mean using a good cam. I’ll get one guest user come in every 10 minutes or something. It’s literally DEAD. I can be online for an hour and get maybe 6 messages in the chat

    My gold shows almost always flop too.

    I’m not too sure of the rules but if it’s allowed now I can attach my profile so you guys can possibly give me stuff to work on?? I’m going crazy haha
    When you loose the new model tag its kind of like you're starting all over again. You've basically been thrown to whatever page and now you have to work your way up to a decent ranking and keep that ranking amongst all of the veteran models. I don't cam much anymore because I just don't have the patience anymore and it started to feel like it was a waste of my time but it def helps to develop a consistent schedule even if its only 2-5 hours a day or every other day. Consistency is key. The only way get more people in your room besides being consistent and doing gold shows is to self promote yourself, here's a great thread on that.

    Splitcamming with a few sites helps during slow times but sometimes its just dead all around. Some fawn upon multitasking but it helped me and I do whats needs to be done to save/maintain my sanity. I have become the queen of multitasking, lol. When I cammed I'd splitcam and when it got deadly slow I'd watch tv (youtube, netflix, kodi), browse the net....mainly researching other ways to make money, edit videos, etc. When I watched tv I'd either turn the sound down really low and keep my mic on, mute the tv and keep my mic on, or mute my mic and keep the tv sound on....when I'd mute my mic I'd keep the tv remote right next to my keyboard and would just mute the tv and unmute my mic whenever I got a show.

    It sounds like alot but it became a system for me, it became so simple to do all of those things at the same time. The key is though is to still look like you're enthused on a cam and to still pay attention to your rooms. Again for me it was easy. I found that the slightest bit of energy felt really draining when traffic is really slow. So I stopped smiling all the time because it took way too much energy. Instead I just kept it neutral with a very slight smile.

    Using only 1 or 2 monitors made it hard to focus on everything and sometimes I'd loose out on a show because of having to tab through tons of windows. I got multiple monitors and also utilized windows splitscreen so that I could easily see and get to everything. I kept my camrooms open on a few screens, browsed the web and edit videos on another screen and watched tv on another screen. I also made sure I sat up straight and kept my body facing the direction of the camera and would sexily look at the camera if and when someone cam into my room so that I didn't look bored.

    Doing all of that allowed me to work more hours without going batshit or feeling completely drained. If I didn't do all of that I probably would've logged off within the first 30min-60mins because it was so painfully slow even with camming on 3+ sites.

    wow thank you so much for this 💕💕

    with regards to split camming, which sites do you use? I get a bit confused doing split camming because if I go into a private on SM, what do I do with the other site? Do they just get a free show? I’m sorry I sound so dumb haha, I always got told split camming was bad and shouldn’t be done

    No free shows! (At least not for myself).
    Most sites I use have a pause button. If they don't have that I go ahead and quickly sign off as soon as my private begins and sign back on after.

    or just run non-live stream skype show sites (like skyprivate) in the background. if you get a show on there, stop your live stream and move to skype

    Because I can only do one thing at once I don't split cam. But I have seen models who actually appear to be running 2 different computers & cams at the same time on 2 sites (or does split camming run 2 cams?). It appeared that when she went into a paid show on the other site, she would turn the SM cam toward the ceiling, so the viewers on SM could hear the show (moaning & such) but not see what was going on. If a SM custie wanted to see the action, he could jump into private (& I presume) she'd lower the cam so he could see too (thereby making 2 shows for the price of one).

    Using one cam, it makes sense you'd have to use the SM 'taking a break' button. OR if you're a Gold Show person, could you have your settings worked out that you can begin a GS at the touch of a button so your SM customers can watch too? I think I've seen models do that while camming on 2 sites.

    Though that seems like a lot of work & multi-tasking. But like anything, if it's paying off financially, you'll get used to it.

    Which do you think works best, talking or typing?
    Always live chat!
    We're in the entertainment industry, so using both visual & audio is really important! Today few people want to read (that's why youTube is now the largest search engine) They type to us because they HAVE to during public free chat. But they'd rather chat one to one with us (which of course is phone or c2c options....for MONEY, so advertise them!)

    Plus, the best models are not just doing insert toy in pussy/anal or bj shows, but actually building rapport with the guys in their rooms. Building repeat customers. Speaking, hearing your voice, saying their name (I always take the time to ask the 1st guy into my room, 'What would you like me to call you?.... which he has to type, so I can add it to a note on his profile after the session is over, AND it burns up part of that 60secs we're not getting paid for! Then, the next time I see him in public free chat I can call him by that....and they're pretty impressed!) THAT is how I keep customers coming back for repeated paid sessions.

    I'm a talker. Hardly ever type. If they can't have the volume on to hear me then they are most likely not going into a show either. So why waste my time typing to 1 when I have dozens in my room.

    I splitted on a lot of sites but my main ones were SM, Cams and Imlive. No free shows for me, I'm a stingy "bitch". Cams and Imlive (after the 90 minutes of freechat) have an option where you can put yourself in pvt. Whenever I got a show on SM I'd put myself in pvt on the other sites. If I got a pvt on Imlive or Cams or even both I'd push the pause button on SM. Sometimes I would use 2 cameras. SM would have one camera and all the other sites would get the other camera. So instead of using the pause or pvt button I'd just turn the camera towards the wall or ceiling.

    Like I said some people frown upon splitting and or multitasking but you gotta do what works for you. If I listened to all of the things that people told me not to do or said were bad I would've either been broke, miserable or both.

    I preferred to talk because it was easier. I use to type to each guy but then I realized how draining that was and how easy it was for a guy to take up too much of my time and attention. I only typed if the guy didn't have sound and even then I kept the typing limited and mostly used my saved messages.

    I feel the type of chat you use depends on what kind of vibe/persona you have. For example if you're more of an extrovert and like to entertain a group it makes more sense to use party chat. If you're more of an introvert and like to do 1on1 shows it makes more sense to use classic chat.

    You have to request the break button through support.

    Wonderful answers to these questions and I have a tiny contribution to add.

    When Blovely says she sometimes uses 2 cams, I concur. From what I found in the fine print is SM frowns on splitcam (unless this has changed in recent years) but if you use 1 cam solely for SM and point it elsewhere or break, you are not breaking rules. I love splitcam because there seems to be more action when you are on several sites at once and makes the time go by faster.

    and get a break button, if you point the cam somewhere else they may get a free show listening to you even if they cannot see you...maybe mute SM? I have never tried to mute myself, not sure if you can.

    I have been able to get around free chat with the external show option. However, I do not recommend this if you are just starting out without a dedicated fan base.

    My voice is my lure, unfortunately typing decreases my earnings. There have been many many times I wish I could just type because of a living situation I was in.
