It's kinda hard to be turned on when you know your internet, utilities, etc don't accept dicks as a form of payment!

Just curious as to any strategies you guys use to get more guys into your room?
I can't seem to keep anybody lately and I've tried changing my outfit, camming at different times, talking to them, my charm seems to have worn off.
I also post when I'm on to my tumblr and twitter and still empty. So frustrating!





Well you can stand up and tease and show off body parts...but I've found that usually just gets the freeloaders in your room. So, just be yourself and be friendly...your room doesn't have to be full all of the time to get shows. I mean, just look at some of the top girls with packed rooms still struggling to get a gold show going! Full doesn't always equal $$
I've been on SM over 2 years...this is the worst traffic I have seen in that time. I don't know if it's because of the effect the GOLD SHOWS have had on the site, more models, or if the traffic is just dying or just less spenders in general. I'm almost tempted to activate geo block so I an block India..tons of freeloaders from there. I just don't know how much that will affect my overall traffic..I know some top gals use geo block on somewhere because they don't even show up until I log in as registered.

I didn't either. I was using the downloaded "recommended settings" and so I went in and downloaded it again today and sure enough, they changed the settings without telling us!
Thanks for posting about it Jess and Via Flaminia and Sammi. I wouldn't have thought to check.
Why don't they tell us when they change something so important!

That's not very encouraging. Ugh.. I got on earlier today and I only stayed for 15 minutes. No takers. Just had a bad feeling about it and had to log out. The one guy who seemed interested and was going to do a bit of fetish got disconnected or something. Said he was accessing the site on his phone. I've had a lot of guys like that lately.. on tablets or phone. Seems like it's not a stable connection for them because at least 2 others complained of getting disconnected every few minutes. Will have to try my luck again later.















Most of these settings have been there for months. I just checked and they didn't change anything to the settings. Some of you may not have been aware of that change back in October or November.
The only change that might have been made is the Audio Adjust settings. I don't remember if those were there or not.
Yes, that's the setting that we're referring to.
I took a break from a terrible afternoon for some lunch and do some other clip stuffs while I'm lunching. First my room was empty then guys came in but they were all just freeloaders sitting there. Ewww.
But then I got an email from Liz that I can raise my rates! Too bad it's coming on a slow day but maybe it'll pick up by the late afternoon or tonight. I know it's not me, I was looking cute on cam!
Just glad I can raise it from the original cap of 3.99/4.99





anybody get paid yet? ive been waiting all day mama needs clean undies lol what time do they normally send out payment im on the east coast and im 4 hours behind the servers (their midnight is 8 pm where i am )





thax i guess we wont be doing our laundry today and gotta wait till the bfs day off sat. just hope its not too crowded - #hate lol





I really hope it clears up and things get back to normal. Last night was my worst day ever. I made a total of $4.25 in the 4 hours I was on cam. I usually can put away $200. I was talking and being my usual fun, nerdy, blah blah self. I did have some dudes hanging out and that were contributing to all 3 failed gold shows, which was a little encouraging. I ended up getting angry, raged with my fellow lurkers/regs (because I have a bit of a feisty take no shit attitude which people seem to love), then went and cried on my fiance's lap.
I agree. Traffic is sucking no matter what your placement is it seems. I will have a day where I am up pretty far placement wise and still don't have traffic. U are not alone in this. Sm is sucking for a lot of us !! Sure hope it gets better. I am starting to really worry !





guys watch your encoders... I have been getting mine mixed up





Yeah, I wondered the same thing. I don't know why they didn't send out a mass e-mail ... someone in Chatzy told me they updated the recommended settings last week.
I was talking about the Auto Adjust settings. According to Liz, it's supposed to stop the blinking/freezing/disconnecting, which is a very common issue on here.



Girls I contacted support and they replied :
"Audio sample rate of 22050 - this is required for your audio to continue working properly"
I'm officially done with SM for the afternoon lol
I just had a German guy come in and claim that he was looking for an American black woman to be his wife and bear his children. I'm done. xD
