    I'm in the UK and I'm sure you can only do a wire transfer to a US bank account.
    I think the only solution for you is to go onto daily pay or join a studio like eyekandi models in the UK. You will forfeit 5% of your earnings but will at least get your money on time and into a UK bank.

    I'm UK and get a wire transfer, it comes through Worldpay. No need to join any kind of group, studio etc. There is a $25 fee per transfer. It's paid into my bank on the Friday following the end of the previous week's earnings so less than a week in arrears.

    thanks for this! how do you find the exchange rates to be? i sometimes found payoneer's rate to take the piss a bit back when that was an available service - they always seemed to cream a bit off the top so didn't mind going via the bank, but now it seems they're doing the same!!

    I've not been on SM long but I work it out that for each dollar I earn I get around 74 pence - ish. I don't know exactly what that means in exchange rate terms! It also doesn't take the $25 transfer fee into account so that's on top but as I work 5 days a week I tend to take $5 off each day's money and then work out at 74p for each dollar earned after the first five. It's not usually far out.

    So every transfer costs you $25? Wow.
    I’m in the uk but have a US bank account via my hubby. Money goes into there fee free and I just transfer when I like to my UK account.
    There are a few banks in the UK that you can open a US dollar account with, Citybank for one, and get your money from SM wired free straight to them.

    the first 45 minutes or so of my last two shifts were absolute garbage, with 90% of my traffic not saying hello or anything, which was unsettling and discouraging. i nearly logged off out of anxiety, but i had a few regulars around to at least let me know that my stream wasn't glitching for them. i stayed on and eventually there were more new people coming in, engaging, doing shows, etc.

    all i can say is do not fall into the trap of thinking that one moment on cam will define the rest of your night! set a reasonable time goal, like 2-3 hours, before you decide it's not worth sticking around for. i think it's self-sabotaging to log off after less than hour even if your traffic sucks. seriously, give it more time.

    for now i'm not giving myself income/money goals. i definitely have numbers in mind, but it does seem that on SM lately the most important thing is just staying online. it tends to work out favorably in the end, if i put in a minimum of 3-4 hours straight.

    Hey everyone! New on the forum and to the whole camming world in general (only a couple of years on and off and not very active, but more active on Streamate since July this year). I posted a thread on this yesterday but it ended up in the wrong place (still a noob here lol) I won't go into the boring details, but in short, I just realized that Internet Modeling is a studio and that I am being ripped off (stupid me didn't research them before joining) Also learned I can't get out of there without having to wait a year before going back to Streamate. I can't do that at the moment because Streamate is my bread and butter.... But what I was wondering was why I didn't get my contest money yet... I am not sure if everyone got their money yet? This is the first time I am winning something on there. It wasn't much, but I am afraid Internet Modeling is taking my contest money too. On my Streamate account, I can see it in the "payment adjustment" section. I see my prize there, but I never received it, nor has it been added to my earnings on Streamate.

    Does working for a studio also mean I should kiss my contest prize money goodbye? Obviously they (Internet Modeling) are not responding to my emails about this. So I am worried they took it away.

    Does anyone know how it works with contests? Any thoughts appreciated. I also contacted support on Streamate but they always take ages to reply, if they ever reply.

    Thank you!

    I know you asked for wire, but I use Paxum here in the UK. So what I do is, I get the money in Paxum, I transfer there in the wallet from USD direct to pounds free (exchange rate very similar with Google exchange) and then I transfer from pounds from wallet to my bank (Nationwide) via EFT which is 5$ or 」3 and Saturday is in my bank always. I used to cash cheques with Barclays and although it was cleared in a few days, the exchange rate plus I had to wait after the cheque wasn't worth. Wire I would choose if I want my money monthly, but because weekly, it's less costly via Paxum and EFT for me. X

    Works out cheaper for me to send it to my euro account at my UK bank for 25 dollars than a US one as it says it is a 40 dollar fee to wire to a US bank. I'd go that route if it were free though

    you know you can put a hold on your pay for up to 3 weeks? Or set a minimum so you only get payout when you reach a certain amount? You don't have to get it weekly if you don't want to.

    Anyone cam on SM and only offering above the waist entertainment? Even just for a short amount of time, like during shark week? I just had my baby and I can't do regular shows for awhile, but I need to get back on cam asap. I was thinking about temporarily dropping my rates because I can't do my normal show.

    I keep my rates the same during my period and make sure the guys know I'm not doing any pussy play, not even opening or spreading it, etc. I put it in my room topic, my auto-message in freechat, auto-message in paid as soon as they enter, AND I verbally say 'thanks for joining a show, just so you know I'm not doing any pussy play today"

    I'll offer nude tease like body worship only (standing, not opening legs because all that is gonna leak out LOL) and femdom / kink shows that don't involve any pussy play whatsoever. I don't even show asshole the first 2 days of my period because everything is way too messy down there.

    I have spent time experimenting with this, on SM and AW. For me there was NO difference in earnings, just a hell of a lot of irritation for me, talking to people who never replied or just talked crap. Kind of wore out my voice and my patience saying hello to everyone.

    I don't even really chat in free beyond the bare minimum. Don't get me wrong, I'm not rude. I just find the vast majority of guys wanting a show don't mess about in free, and the vast majority of those who DO want to chat for free, don't spend anything. Just my experience and I'm sure others work differently and have great results from chatting away. Also I found that if I DID chat to them about random stuff, it was then nigh on impossible to steer them back to paying for my time.
