I hate to ask such a stupid question.....but I am totally confused why you and other girls don't post how well they are doing in the 'Camming Rocks' thread. I mean, I thought that was the thread where bragging was encouraged?
(*scratches head*)
I mean, I see girls post all the time about how well they are doing on Streamate.





You'd probably be good for MFC. I've seen how you hustle a room--you'd be awesome at that site.
I dunno what prices you'd wanna charge. Most of us figure out what to charge for gold shows based on our current per minute rate, so maybe do the opposite? Like, I just did my first ever (non-voyeur) gold show on SM as an 'oh, what the hell?' kind of experiment. Based on my rates, for a 5 minute show with a 6 minute countdown, I needed like 70 gold to break even with my regular rates. For you, I'd say take what you normally make in a day (before the SM cut) and the number of hours you work each day to figure out a ball park. I know other top models on SM near you tend to charge $8-12 per minute so... yeah. Maybe start in there? You have a large enough fan base to get away with charging a high rate out of the gate.
P.S. Try asking Ivy. She's been playing back and forth with her gold show to privates ratio recently and she's close to you in placement. She'd probably be excellent help.![]()
You keep saying this statement but I must admit, I've never seen anyone ever say anything like that statement here on Stripperweb
I remember when girls were complaining that they were on glitchy servers and other girls were telling them that they weren't having glitches at all and therefore it had to be their computers/setups. The glitches eventually did started to effect more and more girls as Streamate began changing its entire code base to the new front end that they have today.
This makes sense because you can't roll out a major code change without glitches.
That is something completely different than saying that other girls are being put on servers with traffic.



I can completely understand that some don't feel the need but that is a completely different situation than if some girls are feeling bullied and feel that they are unable to post about it all. Does that make sense?
I guess it just hurts my heart that any of the girls on Stripperweb would feel like outcasts. I just want to see all the bbs to succeed and feel encouraged and supported.![]()

I think in that case, it's more that it's hard for some to crow about success when others are down on their luck. While some might take it as inspiration (as i think you do, JAC, which is awesome) others may take it as salt in the wound (especially when working in burnout conditions). But no one is beholden to brag, which is what it sounded like you were saying. And if you want examples of what some may have perceived as bullying, I can point you to some locked threads, even though I was not personally involved.
It does seem posting what looks like above-average earnings is a bit of a lightening rod.
There is no need, love! I will completely take your word on it.
You'll have to forgive my being so naive. I am a bit of a bleeding heart. I guess it is just that I am always here wishing everyone the best and trying to help them the best I can.....so I guess it is just hard for me to truly understand why someone wouldn't feel happy about another camgirl's success.![]()









I think we've probably all (most of us) felt like the site was "going down hill" at some point or another. I have been pretty open about my ups and downs with Streamate, but after a lot of reflection I honestly can say that any time I was having one of those really rough patches where my hourly was slashed in half, it was my own fault. Yah, I know the site has glitches for sure and sometimes traffic is awful. But I'm talking about long streaks where things are just REALLY BAD. Every time I get into one of those funks where I'm thinking "what the hell is going on" I always look back later and can see that it was most likely due to my own issues.
For instance, I get burnt out and then I get an attitude and I'm less patient with people. I'm more bitchy and less friendly. Guys can pick up on subtle things that we might not even know we are expressing. When I get burnt out, I work a lot less which means I'm inconstant and it takes a while for me to get back into the groove, and for my regulars to realize I'm back to my normal hours, or I have to build up the energy and motivation to put in the hours that are needed to have those really great weeks.
I also find that when I'm online ALL the time, doing the same thing day after day, I start to get less shows and I think it's because I'm ALWAYS there. Kind of like I oversaturate myself or something. That's something else to think about for people like gingerstripper who are online pretty much every single day, I know we log on a lot because we need the money but is staying online for hours every single day doing gold show after gold show better than logging on less but pulling great shifts? These guys need to miss us a little bit! It's hard to find a balance between the right amount of hours, and too many hours.
Anyway, I guess my point is don't be afraid to look to yourself to solve the problems you're experiencing. It's hard, I know. For a while I refused to believe my issues on Streamate had anything to do with me, but they did! Maybe that's not always the case, but I think it is the case a lot more often than we really like to believe. Who wants to believe they are their own problem? Pretty much no one. But, it's a great thing to be able to take an honest look at yourself and make improvements that you CAN control, rather than put yourself in this mindset that the site just sucks and all this is happening TO you.

I agree. I'm happy to hear about how well others are doing on SM because that tells me that there's still hope on the site and it's not totally dead. That's a very good thing.
The reason I've logged back on here recently is to find out if others are finding the going tough, or if it is just me. If it is just me, then I know there's something up with me and I need to find out the reason.
There are always champions on every site. Even the deadest of dead sites have some girls making good money. We need to make the assessment by seeing how the more average models are doing.




I understand what you're saying and I've always been aware of saturation... that's why I usually only work 4 days a week. I'd rather work 4 long days than 6 shorter days.
But I've been consistent for about 9 years (next month). I work 5 sites at once right now and SM is the only one that has significantly fallen off. Of course SM was more prone to decline as it was always the best of my 5 sites. My overall income is still acceptable, but before I could rely on SM to pull me out of a slow night. If the other sites are slow, then I really feel it if SM is also slow.









What time frame are we talking about though? I started in February this year, so I don't have much history to compare with.
I wasn't pushed into signing up. I was looking for a new site and after reading about it on here I decided to join up. Due to the very low 30% payout and a 3 week delay on payout, I was hesitant, but I became pleasantly surprised after experiencing good traffic and a reasonable income over the first 5 months, I don't rely on regulars. Sure, they are nice to have, but they come and go, and I don't like to rely on them.
^I think that is what GlamourRouge is talking about "you read it on here"... When new girls ask which site to try out they get adviced alot to go to streamate..

This may be random but I don't read or post in the 'Camming Rocks' thread. I feel pressured when I do read then I would do terribly on cam. It does nothing for me. I enjoy reading the 'Camming Sucks' thread before I work because it relaxes me, I feel no pressure then the money just comes rolling in. I KNOW I'm not the only one feeling this way!

I feel similar. I don't know that my reasons are the same as yours, I really don't know my reasons but it doesn't really help me either. I've took a look in the thread a few times but it just doesn't interest or help me so I don't post there either. Great for the girls it does help and I'm not a downer in any way but I also prefer the camming sucks thread, haha. Maybe it also intimidates me lolI might try posting there after I have a good day and I might really like it, who knows, maybe that day will be today.
Is there someone i can speak to on the phone for streamate?
^^^ Honest answer here too: i rarely read the 'camming rocks' because is intimidating & makes me feel bad about myself not having the luck others have or not being able to work as hard. In the 'camming sucks' thread i can relate to the people posting, i give encouragement or receive it from others, it feels 'home' lol, when i do good on cam i still feel i belong to the camming sucks thread but with a bit of added luck.
Writing this now put a smile on my face & made me feel good, i dont think i was aware till now about why and how and reasons, it feels natural to seek the company of people from same 'social level', if u have great success u really dont feel good between 'low income people' and opposite, if u doing not that great u feel frustrated between successful people. Is the same in real life, similar people with similar social condition seek the company of their kind. Exceptions happen but they determine the rule.





^ Very well said. I have to agree![]()
