    I read through the comments here. Does using encoders help with placement, no matter if you need one or not?
    Any time my upload has been under 10mbps I could not stream at the proper resolution. My placement tanks if I do not use an encoder.

    Flash Media Live Encoder has been discontinued by Adobe for a few years now. It's extremely outdated so I wouldn't trust running it.

    Hey!

    How do I do this im using smconnect and cant seem to see this in settings? Also when you say no free chat does it mean they just cant type to me or does it mean I wont even show on streamate to users unless they are logged in with a credit card etc?

    Thank you

    I think there is a confusion between what we traditionally call free chat and what's free chat technically on SM.

    Guest chat = possible paying clients (card added) -> what we normally call free chat in our circles.
    Free chat = non paying clients (no card) -> nobody giving a shit about this, extra cheap bastards trying to get free titties.

    I've always been a night owl but I can switch back and forth in 2 days or so if necessary. Since moving to Europe it's been even better as I get the best of both worlds being 5-6h ahead. You get Euros, Aussies, and Americans as you're up before them and can start early and stay on later. 12Am EST-4am or even 6 pops off too and by that time its 6am-12pm my time and I can pass out having ended the shift with a pay blast from drunk club rejects and early morning horndogs.

    Well, I can't find out much info that I want. I'm using the connect that you click into on dashboard. It didn't work the other day so I cammed in regular broadcast, whatever that is. I have a customer who says that he ended up with a monthly charge so he won't come see me on SM.

    Question: Does SM charge something to become an account holder with a credit card on a monthly basis?

    My guy said this, and he wasn't referring to SM: But when I signed up for one of them before, same as your new site they wanted your credit card details and I got ripped off every month.

    I think the damn cam sites ought to operate with the free market principle. unlike SM. I wonder if SM realizes that if models could communicate outside SM with whales and give out their personal websites, how much more revenue they could reap in.

    I guess this is a newbie prob, but I am inundated with guys trying to get me to break the no nudity below the waist in guest chat. I guess they're playing the numbers and I'm taking them too seriously but how can they believe that I am that dumb? LOL

    How do you set up phone capability? I saw it once, and now I cannot find it. I set it to receive calls, but I do not know if I have to set it every time I log on, or if it stays on that mode until I change it. Maybe I am that dumb. LOL

    Yes, but keep in mind that earnings from gold shows don't show up right away. They are generated at the minute 00-10-20-30 (and so on). And because they are generated at that specific time, they will count towards your ranking at the next update (so 5, 15, 25 etc). So always manage your time properly if the day ends and you want your GS earnings to be on that date.

    Stealing traffic isn't cool, especially since a cut of OUR earnings go to SM to put back out there, to pay affiliates to bring us traffic. That's how SM works. They will suspend you for that shit.

    I’m not talking about taking traffic away from any site. What I mean by the free market is that the freedom to communicate offsite with customers always brought more money onsite, meaning the site that I work on. The free market always wins in revenue. I also did not imply that I am stealing traffic. I said one of my whales is not going to visit me on SM, and I pointed out why. In no way did I imply that I was trying to steal traffic. I need to know if SM charges a monthly fee for being an account holder so I can tell my customer that information.

    I am not trying to steal traffic, I'm trying to bring traffic to me...LOL I just do not get the no-contact clauses.


    Just tonight after I wrote this post I didn't know it, but sm connect wasn't scrolling my chat screen, and someone finally told me in an email what was happening. How did he get my email? I sure don't even talk about email on SM.

    He has been around the block a few times and he started looking for me on other sites and found my email address on my CB profile. That's pretty good! He couldn't tell me that guys were chatting with me because I couldn't see it.

    I am not trying to steal traffic, I'm trying to bring traffic to me...LOL I just do not get the no-contact clauses.

    I lost 2 hours because of SM Connect.

    I'm having a lot of problems with SM connect, but I didn't find the answers to my questions in the SM help sites that Ginnyyy posted here.

    I found the phone prob. You can connect your phone in the regular broadcast format. but not in SM Connect. Does anyone know how that works?

    If your "Whale" is so concerned about a monthly fee, then he's not a "whale".

    That is not true, and I do not understand why I am offending you. I surely do apologize if I have personally offended you, but I have never met you, and have never corresponded with you until you answered me. Your hostility is confusing me. I do not want to continue posting here because in no way do I want to offend anyone. Yes, he is a whale. but and several of my customers have informed me they will not be visiting me on SM because they do not want their credit cards in the SM system. These are customers that have been ripped off by porn sites that charge monthly fees. Many unscrupulous porn sites have that policy and the practice is disguised in the fine print.

    I get back to my original question: Does SM charge a monthly fee just for having an account tied to a credit card?

    I want to thank the ladies who did answer my questions. SM is very different from what I did for the last three years, and it is true that SM takes days to answer questions. I have always had good experiences on this forum. I did not think that I had offended anyone with my questions. My questions may be too dumb...I don't know, but it's not worth it to go through drama. It looks like you have a little gang going on here and no newcomers are allowed.

    I will check back for answers, but I will not be posting or replying in this thread. Thank you very much ladies!

    - for people who don t read anything before signing up or signing something or for those not familiar with internet pages, they ll always encounter this issue. SM offers members to subscribe to some porn sites for a monthly fee but before accepting OK, the future SM member needs to uncheck that/those options. It was prechecked when I signed up so he just needs to un-check it next time and read what s written there, to avoid future mistakes. He can talk to the SM support however to get rid of the monthly subscription.

    -yes, you can add your personal website on SM by talking to the SM support or if it s a ModelCentro website, such as the one in my signature, you just connect your site with one button on MC, skipping the chat with the SM support. This way, you will pay Sm as an affiliate and you will split the profits for SM members joining your site. You need to have a few videos there and guys will be charged monthly for a subscription. Only SM members with debit/credit cards (and according to some girls, not from every country) will see the button to Join Your Site, the ones with pre-paid won t see it, cause in order to subscribe to your site, they will be billed on a monthly basis, so not possible with pre-paid.

    EDIT: BTW you still won t be allowed to tell your domain name to SM members, because SM needs to create a .net etc clone to your website so they ll send their traffic there in order to count the actual sign ups who went through SM. Members are not able to see your site before signing up. Most guys almost never figure out that it s enough to just Google search for the performer name + site (+ twitter; + Skype etc.)

    I opened my customer account before I even opened my model account, so I am a little hazy on all the details. The first purchase I made as a customer I noticed an extra charge. I believe I accidentally joined a model’s monthly site. You know what I did? I contacted support and they reversed the charge, never had a problem again. That is what you should tell your customer. I have to agree his behavior does not indicate a SM whale. In my experience whales on Sm know the site very well. They have been around awhile, know when to use their rewards, how to operate the functions and when to contact support. To me he sounds like he wants to take you offsite then probably do a chargeback. It’s more likely he was doing some funny business with his card then Sm intentionally scamming him.

It wasn't too long ago that CB began offering encoders. But I showed I was streaming in HD after I installed cable service. I figured I did not need it.

    I have 3 mbps upload speed. Are the encoders for streaming for people with slow speed?

    Is my upload speed high enough so that I do not need an encoder?

    I read through the comments here. Does using encoders help with placement, no matter if you need one or not?
    You'd do fine with your internet upload as long as it s stable, but according to the latest SM e-mails that they ve sent to us, they don t care about encoders anymore. They would love us to use either SMB with the regular SM page; the new hmtl5 SM Connect or the Neon app for mobile.

    Also, I noticed that for me, the encoders take up way more CPU resources than SMB or SM Connect so no point in using an encoder anymore but you do whatever it s fine for you and your stream.

    Oh, Thanks, but he's never been on Streamate...He has been ripped off on other sites similar to SM. So no, he is not an SM whale...LOL

    Do any of you use the Logitech c922 cam on SM? I bought it a couple of years ago ago but I never could get it above 10 fps on SM. I tried it with SMB and fmle. I did not have OBS at the time. It's an excellent cam and I would buy it again in a heartbeat if I knew it would work.

    I am wondering if the 920 is being discontinued because it is no longer available on the Best Buy website. Amazon has it but it has gone up in price.
