    Oh, man. This rate analysis chart gives me nothing more than a PURE CAMGIRL LADYBONER, and honestly makes me fall in love with SM all over again. That said, I think it's not entirely scientific due to private and excl. having an effect on each other (ex: the higher my private rate, the more custies choose exclusive if the two are close enough together in $$ amount) so that could make it seem like charging a certain amount is less profitable when in reality a certain combination is still a winning one per hour.

    That said, well done, Streamate. This is FUCKING AWESOME and definitely overdue.

    that happens to me all the time because my modem cant handle my new higher net plan my bandwidth will bottleneck and buffer and ppl will see a black window on the site when that happens until it re-stabilizes eventually it does because i rarely D/C. if ur dropping ur connection off the site then that means it wasn't able to re-stabilize. have u gone on speedtest.net and test ur net speed?

    Are you using wifi or are you hardwired into your router/modem? As sometimes, wireless can get interference that otherwise isn't there at other times.

    Yes, I saw where it was supposed to be in the user manual, but it's just not there. I'm not too worried as I don't think I would use that feature anyway. As Euaici said a few posts back, it's probably not enabled because I'm streaming from Thailand.

I received an email stating that they weren't going to approve my payment option due to my proximity to where they mail out their checks from and, as such, they want me to use regular mail... which isn't an option presently because there has been rampant mail theft in my area recently. payoneer has been super difficult for me to deal with in the past, so i want to avoid that. should I email them back and tell them checks by mail aren't an option? I'm so damn frustrated at this point.
    I'm all about the P.O.box option too. Or just know that it usually comes on monday and to be standing there waiting to pick it up as soon as they drop it off!!! But if it took sm that long to approve don't tell them no. Just jump on it.

    I had to do nothing but gold shows and I took tempting's advice and did short timers. didn't bank on any of them but they kept me out of free chat. I am usually b2b exclusives...this new trend SUCKS but since this isn't my main source of income I can deal with it, but I don't have to like it!

    ETA: before i got my money today my fridge was empty, i wanted to unplug it but there were few eggs in there & a jar with mustard, ketchup & one onion. Then i went to grocery shop & got some food, sweets ( i needed sugar! sugar! sugar!) & coffee, i just ate, feels better, for the last 2 days we barely ate here. I have to always portion the money wisely & never know how much i am going to make or if i make payout. When i read about people making big money i can only feel helpless, i am honest, it hurts when u just not able to provide more, i am not envious but sad i cant do better. In fact it would feel better if i had a man to bring money at home, 2 salaries help a lot, men earn more normally, when u pay everything from just a salary things are more difficult, i mean there is a bill for electricity, a bill for internet, phone, etc, when two people bring money at home the bills are slightly the same same but salary is double, u manage things better.

    Alice, I think the big issue right now is the internet. There are several sites I just can't access these days, and it fits with what happened some time ago when there were some internet problems at the macro level. My provider really tried, they came, even changed some equipment, but I think it's bigger than them. All that weirdly bad weather all over the US must have affected things, and both our internet is influenced and, of course, that of our custies.

    Of course the freeloaders will come and beg even if ur image is not perfect, but the people willing to pay will no, an also they will not like to be disconnected and such.


    I can't work more than one site at the time right now, and it's really really bad because that means one third of my usual potential - my PC can easily take 3 hd sites at one time, just my net cannot right now. And surely the custies from even that site are fewer because of this..and it's maddening not to be able to do anything about it.

    Don't feel helpless Alice. A lot of people are having hard times on cam sites the last year or so. I have read people making big money and some of them do shit they aren't even supposed to do. Before anyone bitches I didn't say everyone, I said some of them. Have you tried split camming? That helps sometimes to fill the gap.

    Hang in there because it will get better. There are always periods when it's slow, but then it gets crazy busy. This week is spring break for a lot of people, so they aren't online looking for shows.

    I would just change your niche until you find one that works. Thats what I continually did my whole first year camming (I started over 3 years ago now) until I came up with the one that works best for me now. Legal and 100% site-approved, which means there's no reason to worry.

    There's a lot out there you can do. I'm surprised more people don't take things in creative directions like MFC girls do a lot of the time. MFC hustle definitely works on SM. Or maybe its your internet? That can contribute to lower placement. Certain places have naturally slower internet.
