What screen resolution do Ipad users have? Most at home computers use 1680 x 1050 which make the photos very large. I feel like the top 8 to 12 spots will see most of the traffic and the rest will be left by the wayside but then I honestly don't know what a horny mans surfing practices are either LOL. Seems to me, scrolling beyond 10 or 12 rows will be a rarity but either way the switch from default from 40 to 80 makes no difference because I doubt anyone will scroll all the way to 80. Lately the only guys finding my cam either have me bookmarked or by category search, so as you can imagine, traffic is very thin, especially because the guys who take the time to surf seem to be a more casual type surfer as opposed to the rush rush get me off now kind of guy. I am not online often enough to maintain top placement as I did in the past. It seems to be a means to an end for some girls, namely me. I only see freeloaders in my chat.

Also, I have a question about the mobile market. Do mobile users fall into the geoblock or are they getting around it?

Yes they do. I've learned many of the guys we assume are only silent lurkers actually do read our profiles and look at our photo's. I also noticed a huge dip in pay when I used the word, "softcore". Guys don't need softcore anymore, they have freechat for that. Sad but true fact, the niche has seen brighter days. I also remember a day when performers had more respect for one another and the industry. When someone pointed out a niche being overlooked by performers using gallery pics or free video, they pulled them. Ahhh the good old days.
I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this new layout. But its not like it really matters because I'm going to have to get use to it. So far I think its less user friendly. The old layout seemed alot simpler and user friendly. However I'm glad that its better for mobile users and that they are final able to read our profiles. I do like the new comment section and how high quality the thumbs pics look. I think they should move the schedule underneath my expertise. It looks funny being in a single tab and having all of the white space. I think for now I'm going to use cammodels because I'm not ready to convert to the new SM.









Average 0f 1300 MODELS online at all time, this is why there is a battle of the first page.
I couldn't imagine a guy scrolling and scrolling and scrolling through 1300 plus models. The grounds will become a battle. Its our own fault, we suggest girls try streamate as the first cam site when it should be the last due to most DO NOT have the equipment to hold some of the streaming abilities. :/ It is what it is.
I kinda like it, kinda dont. I get use to it the more I click.
I personally think it will be a lot harder for new girls with this layout. After the new modeltag they will be dropped somewhere at maybe 3rth page, hopefully if they are allready doing good higher up in front of the page.. , and all that scrolling down isnt really helpfull. I think the old layout was way clearer (like you could tell in 1 sec was online, you could scan through every page in a second, now you have to scroll down and rememeber the faces you allready seen)

All the more reason to constantly ask guys to favorite You. I always have it on auto text, and remind my room throughout my shifts.





we are missing a row of girls, guys will scroll. No way do only 20hotties work on SM. I get 20 as default on every browser.
We have much bigger things to worry about than the new layout IMHO we are the performers, this is for the customer, not us. If they ask us, give them your honest opinion.
Looking at both side by side, the blind mofos that cant see shit can actually see.. I can see who is the picture.
Kinks need to be worked out with every new product. SM is not going to kill us, they will figure out what works and what does not.
We bitch about every little change they do YET we choose to work their platform. I always say beggars cant be choosers and that goes for us as well. Most of us signed up to work for streamate, they didn't come calling or knocking on my door so I will be grateful I have been loyal, put in the time and basically sold my sold my soul, pussy, tits, flash, goldshows and everything else to make streamate work for me.
WE BITCH ABOUT EVERYTHING... Im sure they expect this, its change and ppl dont like change.
MARKET THE FUCK OUT OF YOURSELVES .. THATS ALL I CAN SAY
I understand that progress marches on.....I totally get it.
I just wish that Streamate would give us a headsup when they make a major change like this. I've never seen a company that so keeps its workers in the dark the way it does.
I can already tell it is going to become a battle of the 'best text + profile picture' so all you Streamate exclusive camgirls better start working on your photoshop skills ASAP.

I totally agree with all of this. I stopped using Streamate as my main money-making site and started to move more towards indy when it became obvious how badly the glitches were affecting my ability to make money. I complain about the bad choices they make the way that a sports commentator complains about bad plays in a game. But, hey......it is their sandbox.
The only thing I would like to add to Tempting's great advice about marketing is that you should never be so foolish to ever depend on one site/stream of income as a camgirl. You are just there to ride the traffic on bigbox sites on the 'good days'......you better have at least one backup plan for the 'bad days' because every site waxes and wanes. It is dangerous to think that since one site has been making you the most income that it will continue to forever.
Random Question: Does this new layout mean that Streamate is moving to static picture only and the auto-snaps they used to take are dead?
Edited to answer my own question: The girls who are splitcamming with Verysoft are more apparent with this layout then ever before.

always have a back up.. always. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS and never burn a bridge unless you know that bridge is already falling apart.
I love SM but I know if I have to I do have options.
Playboy has been going strong since IDK so lets hope the same for the more successful big box CAM sites, I plan on hitting granny status with SM. What in 12 years or so? (37 years old now)
OK gotta work, im about to be blocked by the google focus app so ican work

Spot on! I've been caught out before, relying on one site where I did well for many years and then it went bad. If you're doing ok it's easy to get complacent and just cruise along. This particular site went bad because they didn't advance fast enough compared to the competition (technology wise)... but there are many reasons why a good site can go bad. Protect yourselves by diversifying. This is absolutely essential if camming is your primary source of income. Saving some money for bad days/weeks/months is also another good policy.
I was a bit quieter than usual over the last weekend. When exactly did SM change their layout?





Man I really need to pay more attention. I just clicked on the calendar and saw that Fuckafan is an ACTUAL thing supported by SM? From the post I've read here I thought it was something top cammers were getting away with, like they were breaking the rules. But SM supports it. Or at least staging a fan fuckthon. Never knew.










I never even noticed there was a calendar before now. Sometimes Im not that observant. I live in pink bubble
Ieeeek I dont know if it is the new layout, but I get a lot more customers inside my pvt at once. Loving the gangbangs![]()
