    Log on. There's so many times where people are complaining about all the glitches or dead traffic and meanwhile I'm having no glitches and traffic is fine. Happens the other way around too.

    So I signed on and it says I'm at 4 stars but it has been almost 48 hours since my final 5 rating that I needed to get bumped back up to 5 stars. And yes all ratings have been in 90 days and by different guys. Do I have to contact support or give it another day? Usually I see the change in 24 hours.....

    Thanks for your help with the macbook ladies. I'm a bit conflicted right now with show pricing. I've been with sm for 5 years now and never lowered my price. I've increased it two dollars every year and am sitting at 7.99/9.99. I have really good placement but even with that it's been so slow the last two months that I'm considering lowering it to 5.99/6.99. I'm make half of what I usually would per hour. Has anyone else had any luck with lowering or is it just not even worth it? Thanks ladies!

    There's no harm in experimenting. It may work to lower your rates, or it may not. That's one thing that's cool about Streamate is the option to change rates easily.

    I lowered it for 5 minutes and raised it back to my normal rates and actually got good customers for the first time in weeks afterwards lol. Guess I'll stay at my regular rates for now.

I tried dropping my prices thinking it would encourage them to stay longer but I barely get my clothes off and lay down and they're leaving. I'm so sick of getting men being like "Take that big dick up your ass" and I say "okay baby but I haven't been warmed up yet so let me play with my asshole for you for a second while I lube it up"
    And they leave. Literally. Who can fucking take a 13" dick up their ass really hard in 10 seconds?!

    Yup. It's the same experience for me too.
    No matter what I do, most guys never stay longer than 2 minutes. Even regs that have been with me forever stopped buying long shows.
    After being on here for 13 years, I've reached my breaking point.

    My rent, gas, internet, food, subscription services have all gone up.
    It's no longer profitable to sit in a dead room, only to see minute men.

    *I realise that lots of models are still doing extremely well, but sadly I'm not one of them.

    Chronic illness means that I have to make each moment on cam count, because my energy is limited.
    Luckily I've found 2 new replacement jobs, so I can faze out Streamate.

    I'd contact them, I always contact to get a1 star removed, (they always do it) I know this's different, but it's just as important so.. Good luck!

    I'm so sorry about your chronic illness. I have a friend who i have helped get on cam this last year. She just got diagnosed with something and she can only physically handle cam work for like 2 hours before she's beat. So I can only imagine how hard it is for you.

    Yeah... unfortunately the men don't realize that we have physical bodies. We're not holographic images of robotics on a screen they can control. Most of what we do in a five minute session, porn stars are getting paid almost $1,000 to do and we walk away with like $10. They also don't understand that we have OTHER clients to serve too.

    I'm glad you found something else. I really hope that you can come back sometime to lots of gold and well-paying clients. And I hope you feel better <3

    Thank You for your kind words.
    Sorry to hear about your friend. 2 hours, yes.
    That's exactly how long I can stay on cam.

    The days that I push it, and stay on longer, I pay for it the next few days, and am down for the count.
    I'm 63 now, so I don't see my energy increasing as I approach 70.
    Modern medicine could advance, but I'm not holding my breath.

    I took an early social security payout, and thank God I did.
    Just having that cushion every month has taken lots of pressure off of me.

    Does anyone else notice lately that when you send a message to someone’s inbox it takes some time to show up now? Like it used to be instant and now it takes some time to show up on my side..I can only assume it means they’re now vetting and checking our 1 on 1 inbox messages now too

    i don't think there is a universally "bad" week or month that applies to everyone. but a lot of models generally experience the "summer slump" from june to august, when kids are out of school and people are going on more vacations (thus spending less time and money on cam) - so i would probably take your time off sometime during the summer season, but it's hard to be more specific than that since we'll all have different experiences.

    you could look back on your earnings from this year and previous years to try to find trends in the dips. like if your income went down during a contest week or near a holiday. if you click on the contest page on the dashboard you can view all the previous contests to get a better prediction of when future ones will happen.

    one of the worst times that comes to mind for me personally is memorial day at the end of may, as well as fourth of july. i always get a surge of asshole customers those weekends and there is always a contest.

    LOL I thought you were being sarcastic but maybe not! Contests nearly always cut my paycheck in half so I hate them, but I know some do well with them but I can't seem to crack it. I need to work a lot next week so I'll be on regardless.

    Maybe I'll be more fortunate this time. I need to be online anyway so I'll at least try to put the minimum hours in.
