    I don't think rates should be your concern right now, I think perhaps you need to consider some things before camming (especially on a big site like SM).
    You mention that you're shy, how do you think that might get in the way of camming? Granted that we all get nervous when we start out camming but being on a cam site you are opening yourself up to a whole load of stuff.
    Most of the time the guys are nice but there are some complete assclowns out there who will throw insult, beg for free shows and god knows else what.
    Then your open to guys recording your shows from their computer and posting them out there online or reselling them for their own profit.
    And then lets not forget you are open to people you know noticing you.

    Do you feel you are able to take all of this on board?

    I don't want to sound negative because camming is fun and it's great but for a shy person I just wondered if you had considered this before considering your rates.

    YOU charge what YOU want to be paid. Whenever I start a new site I set my rates to what I want to be paid after mY percentage on that site. If I'm not making any money at that rate over a period of time then I lower it, little by little until I find my comfortable place. We can't tell you what to charge...get used to making decisions for yourself or you'll get eaten alive in this business.

    I'll take that as a no. No one else having this issue.

    I tried a new browser this week. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but I'm dropping it like it's hot.

    If you are using a Logitech cam, go to the settings and lower the video resolution to medium or small. It has helped me to go back from barely 15 to 30, so it might help you too.

    What do people do in their rooms to keep it entertaining if you don't have any customers? I usually chair dance to my music but it get's old after an hour. I say hello to everyone that pops in and ask how they are but most just pop right back out. What am I doing wrong?

    Ok I did this and it didn't change anything. My fps today was 16. I've never had an issue reaching 30 fps until this week. I don't know if it has anything to do with dropping Aero or if it has something to do with throwing in a new graphics card (I got the 750 GTX overclocked) but that's graphics so I'm confused how that could affect my upload or FPS rate.

    Iedit: I am running a Performance Information scan. Maybe if I send it to tech support they can help me figure it out. Doubtful but it's always worth a shot.

    So, I'm perving a bit on SM tonight, and it looks like everyone is lagging pretty badly. Is anyone else seeing this? My speed test shows that my internet is fine, and my CPU isn't overloaded or anything.

    On a positive note, as a result of the lagging, I got a rather extended peek at AudriTwo's ass, and... wow!

    ETA: I checked out KinkLive, which I believe operates on a similar system (at least, they both use the Encoder). KL rooms take a hot minute to open, but once they do, I don't see much lag at all. That leads me to believe that it's not my internet or computer.

    My room was lagging tonight too
    I think the shortest lag I counted was 5 seconds but most of the time it was longer

    I noticed that yesterday evening on SM. I had 50/12 speed and I had folks popping in and out saying there was a lag but there were over 17K ladies on (finally after 15 mins it got a show and then it was on for the rest of the night) I think that might have something to do with it. Maybe their servers cant keep up?

    So I was browsing tonight to see if anyone else was having lag issues. Normally I don't use chrome to peruse the site but for some reason tonight I did. Do you see why this girl may not have made her goal? I think I do! It's a gold show countdown! I refreshed it a few times too.

    Wow, first time I go on SM in months, and my stream looks like absolute garbage, is lagging, (despite using HD cam, i7 processor, upload speed over 8 mbps and using the encoder on exact recommended settings), and the sound is lagging to like a century before I was born. *_*

    I don't understand what we are looking at here.... ? It's a screen shot so it's kind of hard to tell if you are talking about it being blurry/choppy looking (which could be from the screen shot? ) or something else?

    There's no place to put the gold!

    The timer is cut off too. It's just this mess of a pixelated blurry pic with no countdown timer and no place to tip!

    Also, I haven't noticed lagging or bad looking streams. I do notice guys seem to be taking longer to respond when I speak, but other than that seems ok? No one has complained.

    I had a couple complains tonight about my cam cutting off. I also had a guy tip me twice for a gold show but he was never brought into the show. He sat out there in guest chat tipping me more. Not a bad thing for me personally but not so great for my reputation or the site!

    The pages seem to work fine with Firefox but my Chrome, which I believe is up to date, isn't fairing so well.

    Iedit: It works when I resize the browser using the square shrink button on the top right (next to the X)but when I have the browser set to full size the timer and tip button disappears below the frame. Just me?

    I see another new one: "FREE GOLD SHOW", why does SM allows text over profile pictures advertising these shows? Most sites wont allow edited profile pictures. I even saw profile pictures with girls on the beach or outdoor and SOME OTHER PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE! I mean, really? How they approve such profile pics, are they blind?
    Not going to try to piss off people in here but i ask u veteran 'before gold shows moment' ladies to remember how excited everyone was to have gold shows available and nobody was willing to even accept the possibility that things will turn out bad for many of us on the long run?! We are here after how many? 3 years now watching how things fall apart on this site once was the best on the market.

    Adding: and the answer we got back then was "but i am making great money" ('i only care about myself'), now u get the same answer from the $0 GS models "i am making my money" ('i only care about myself'). See the irony?!

    I was one of the veterans that said from the start Gold shows were a bad idea. Why give a discount on cam shows? It never made sense to me, camming is a luxury if you can afford it. It might have turned out better if they required the shows to be at least a buck a minute, not allowed incentives to join the show and that would have made free shows impossible. Granted I know they arent 100 percent free, I know performers put in a goal and do the show when they hit it. I just don't get the concept of free shows. You know freeloaders will just pop from free show to free show and never spend a dime.

    I think the site will eventually stop the free shows, pretty sure they get a lot of messages complaining about gold shows period. I can't imagine they can be making that much money if they have to offer cheap or free shows. That seems to be a tactic to use on slow days or if you aren't making much money overall.

    I would also point out no one can say gold shows haven't hurt the site. If you look at the traffic numbers from before gold shows started to recently, the traffic is down a bit over half. There is no way it's a coincidence either. I think it changed the customer base of the site and many customers left because they didn't like the new vibe. I still have customers tell me they won't buy into gold shows because so many of the other customers are rude. Good customers never want to see cam performers abused, they actually care.

    We can all debate over Gold shows, but the reality is the site needs to step up and do something. Almost all the posters in Camming Sucks are posting about Streamate and how slow it is. Is it slow for everyone? No. It is slow for a lot of performers? Yes. That's something they need to work on because unhappy performers will leave and go make another site money. Good performers are hard to find.

    I had this happen to me in Chrome before. Its because you're zoomed in on your browser. I have one of those zooming wheels on my mouse and must have hit it somehow...but I was able to zoom back out and it went back to normal. So yeah, figure out how you zoom out on your browser and it will fix it.
