    Yup, I was wondering why, all of a sudden, my 5 star rating went down to 4. They said it's because every 3 months, the damn rating resets itself, and you need at least 5 different privates where the guy rates you a 5...in order to boost your rating back to a 5. And since I've been neglecting my SM model account, that's not gonna happen until I get back on there again. I guess I'll just have to keep reminding people in my room topic to "please rate me 5 stars after the session" and hope they'll actually do it.

    You can try it, but the C910 isn't a widescreen camera. I think there are some settings you can mess with in recording to make it widescreen, but pretty sure you can't stream in widescreen. Likely you'll not like the results of messing with your encoder settings, but it can't hurt to try.

    Does the encoder effect the quality of the stream picture? I haven't changed any settings, and my stream was just fine before. I did dl the encoder again like last week. But this past week it's been like washed out, strangely bright, the sound is crappy, etc. I have great internet now, using the encoder with recommended settings, Logitech C910, etc. I can't figure it out, but my custies are not liking it.

    I wonder if I can adjust the settings while camming, or if I'll have to log on and off during testing. At least I know it's not my fault. Thanks, Marina!

    Hubby and I logged on this morning with the encoder. We had traffic, but strangely no takers? I logged in myself a bit later and the encoder wasn't working. I couldn't even get HD HIgh. I had to drop to HD low. WTF. I did check awhile into streaming. encoder down HD high back up. Such a huge pain in the ass. And FUCK stopping your stream when you have to piss and trying to fight with the fucking encoder again. Am I the only one that can't get that to copy and paste right away? Sometimes I just type it in to get it over with.
    On another note. Why the fuck oh why do guys think you're going to tell them where you live? Why even fucking ask? WHO CARES where I live? I'm not jumping on your dick no how. Thanks for the rant.

    How do I get strong yet actually flattering lighting?
    Today I bought two basic desk lamps. I Removed the lampshade, and put a 60 watt bulb in each (it's illegal to sell anything above 60 watt in Israel). I also used an overhead light to decrease shadows.
    Man, was that harsh. Like, it literally showed me flaws and blemishes I didn't even know I had! Not to mention, after a few minutes it got extremely hot in the room.

    Is there any way to play with the colors/contrast etc. in the encoder? Because I haven't seen any.
    And what do I do? I'm not going on cam like that.
    On the other hand, the overhead light only is not enough.

    I'm really clueless about it.

    ^ They look awesome. Perhaps I'll ask in an Israeli board if they exist here. [EDIT: haha, that was supposed to be directed @MissSassyPickles's post! I do not desire the Google shenanigan.]

    Meanwhile, here's what seems to be working: I put the shade back on both lamps and dimmed the headlight just a little. It was still rather harsh, so I played with the white balance settings of my cam and that made things look great; warm. I like it. It's a little on the yellowish side, but I prefer it to the hospital-room-white side.

    I just had 2 customers try to go private multiple times, and they kept coming back saying they got an error message, even after refreshing the page. One, I know isn't lying because he always asks the same question in free chat, and then just goes. He also has a 2 next to his name, and has never 'played' me. wtf is going on?

    You really don't want to use overhead light. There's lots of great tips on lighting here, but basically you want most of your light behind the camera. I use 3 daylight bulbs, one pink bulb, and one yellow bulb and have managed to get it looking pretty decent. You just have to play around with the placement but never overhead ceiling lights! Those are the worst.

    I use my overhead lights, but I diffuse them! Even though they are not powerful bulbs, they make me look awful if they are "naked" but I do need them for good all round lighting. I might put up a pic later to show what I've done. x

    The lamp in my room looks somewhat like this one:

    When it's dimmed it's, like, nothing, and when I turn it on completely the light is just way too much and looks kinda "flat" and harsh (?). I don't really know how to explain it.

    Hello ladies. I'm having a bit of a problem that I hope I can vent and maybe someone will be willing to help me out with.

    I just started back camming full time a month ago after a lot of inconsistencies and breaks for the past 4 years so it's kinda like being a new girl. I'm signed up for several sites and so far have been hitting the goal of 500+ a week and have been leaving customers very satisfied which makes me enthusiastic. I'm ready to make camming fulltime and stick with it for good. However, since I've come back to SM it's been a struggle. I'm not getting a lot of traffic in my room despite being on the first pages for the categories of Ebony and BBW, just a trickle of guys who come in, view me, then leave. Some come in, beg, then leave. Some come in, tell me how stunning and sexy I am, then leave. Others talk and wanna be my BFF or lover. I'll engage those somewhat, but the bottom line is they're as much of timewasters as the others in the end. Maybe only once, sometimes twice a day will I get someone who will take me PVT and sometimes it's decent, sometimes its a couple of quickie wankers not adding up to more than $3 or so a piece.

    It's becoming really frustrating for me. I'm building up regulars and making decent paychecks from other sites, but on SM I'm at a stall. I used to do well on this site, 300+ per pay check but that was before gold shows. Now it seems no one is willing to pay my PM rate since I do not have gold shows yet and my rating is stuck at 4*. I'm also somewhat frustrated because I know I look good and I know I have a good personality. I'm not the funniest, most outrageous girl on the site, no. But I'm not a quiet robot either .. yet I still see those types with rooms full of men watching them do nothing, not even speak and take them private. I believe look just as good as some of those girls so why not me too?

    What gives? What can I do to have some success on this site as a"newbie" ? I feel like that's kinda the problem. Men see my rating isn't the best, I have no tags and that my room is kinda dead so they don't wanna take a chance on me since no one else is. I find it hard to be entertaining and showing off my personality when I have no one to do it for or help me keep it going. Occasionally I'll talk to and tease an empty room but it's hard to keep up when it might be 10+ minutes before the next guy pops in real quick.

    Any pointers on how I can turn this around? I really liked SM back in the day and I still would like to do well on there now, but I'm becoming so letdown and frustrated every time I sign on there.

    I know similar questions gets asked alot, but I really can't find any threads about at least entertaining a completely dead room to help make the guys stay and eventually build a crowd.

    I haven't been doing this very long at all, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt. Also: I totally feel awkward being a rank newbie trying to give advice to someone who is clearly very experienced, but you know what they say about fresh eyes...

    I just had my first $100 day on SM, and I only work 3 hours. I was wearing a sweatshirt and pajama pants. I've found I get more positive response when I show less, like the guys are just SO eaten up with curiosity, they can't help but spend the money to get me naked. Also: I rank "keeping myself entertained" over "being entertaining." I'm polite to everyone who comes in, but if I'm bored, I will go to another website and read forums. I think they can pick up on when I'm genuinely enjoying myself, vs. pasting on a plastic smile to try to appear sexy.

    Billabong - if you'd like some tags I have a customer account and I'd be happy to tag you with whatever you want I understand if you want to protect your identity but I won't share it with anyone. Tags have really helped customers find me. Some custies don't go to categories and just search whatever it is they want.

    I'm new on SM so I feel like I can't give the best advice, but I will say that reading Hustle Hut here helps (even though it's for strippers) a lot of the same principles apply.
