    ^^ my traffic has been the same from both my new model statuses before and after I switched to dp...I joined sm maybe in November ..I actually ruined my new model status the first time around this time I am taking advantage of it but my money is still the same.. It is worst but it has climbed up now that all my hours and favorites transferred.. I do have a lot more traffic since I didn't sabotage my new model status but more guys in my room never means more money.. At least for me

    KK there is obviously an issue with your account that you need to ask Katy and/or Liz about. I would bother with support because they fucking suck.

I'm frustrated and I don't understand what is going on. I've reached out to SM but no one seems to know how to fix my problem.

    I've just switched over to a DP studio and my new account went live on the 4th. I have yet to get the benefits of the New Model tag and my "Time Online" on SM still says 0.00 as if I never put any hours in this month. I literally cannot find myself under "New Models" and neither can my friends.

    Whatever is going on my placement and earnings are suffering from this particular site. I've been testing things out so I've only plugged in about 14.18 hours (which its not even showing still) but I'm not sure if this is normal for a studio, or if I'm doing something wrong on my end.

    My lighting, internet, appearance is all spot on but I'm either not getting enough exposure or this is just a shitty week. I get maybe 1-4 guys in my room at the same time (old favs I believe) with long spurts of emptiness as if I don't even exist, lol.

    I understand that our job has ups and downs, slow weeks and fast weeks and I see a LOT of bbs feeling the shaft this week. However, comparing when I first signed up as a "new girl" to this time is like a 180. Yes, it's true that I joined about a year ago (so traffic may vary) but I'm more like comparing the difference between traffic in my room under my cammodels account 2 weeks ago, compared to traffic under this new account.

    I understand that for other studio girls this could be a sore subject so if you'd prefer to message me here instead; I totally get it and welcome it. I've just really been frustrated the last few days as this is literally the worst I've done on this site since ever. For 14.18 hours I've only made $12.56 or around $178 which is what I usually made in half a full shift. The lowest I usually make in 14.18 hours on SM is about $400-500+ What gives bbs?

    I guess I can say that of course someone who's had an account for 1-2 years with all 5 stars and higher ranking will do better than a new girl. But isn't the new girl status supposed to give you MORE traffic?

    I know I should be grateful because $12.56 is decent for someone making minimum wage but, damn yo! (lol) When $30 per hour is considered a slow day for you, $12.56 is crumbs!
    There's nothing that will humble your ass quicker than realizing maybe you're not as hot as you thought you were, lol. Perhaps this is just karma biting me in the ass for all the bragging I've done in the past


    Excuse the 4.00 rating. I've only been rated 5 stars once so far and no other ratings have showed up yet. My round trip is usually 100 and bounces.
    I had something similar happen to me when I created a new account. Liz said that my ratings/comments/etc would be transferred and I would also get new girl status (this was independent, not with a studio).

    It was all fine and dandy and I found myself in the new girl page after I first logged in, but then a couple of hours later I was taken off. I contacted support about it and they said that since my ratings and everything was transferred that I wouldn't get new girl status, even though liz said I would. I pointed that out and they had some bullshit generic response again about the transfer. Seems like someone with streamate noticed my account and changed some things once they saw me on the new girl page, because I was on it but quickly removed.

    It was really all downhill from there. I wasn't even showing up in many categories of the site. For a while I was even listed in with the Russian girls even though my country was set as US. I struggled to even make minimum wage for a while.

    I gave up contacting support because they were absolutely worthless, I was hesitant about bothering Liz, I just didn't want to annoy her. Eventually things magically picked up and my account issues were fixed. I'm pretty certain after this whole fiasco that Streamate adjusts accounts and placement manually.... I wonder how to get their direct email lol.

    I would definitely try contacting Liz about your issues. For me, I was hesitant because I wasn't camming super consistently and felt like they wouldn't necessarily want to put in the effort for an inconsistent model. If anything happened now I would be raising hell.

    ^^^^^^^^Thank you bbs. I thought I was going crazy. I almost chucked it up to a bad week but after almost 2 years on sm my hours vs. money earned rarely vary no matter what. I'm waiting to hear back from everyone. SM said they'd have someone look into it but then sent me a copied and pasted script basically stating that I was the reason my ranking was low. I was thinking along the lines of: "Or you can just fix my issue since it's clearly not me."

    @Ms.Lacy, I'm getting on that now, thanks for the tip.
    @Layla, bb, I wish I was still making the same. I making like 1/3 of what I normally make for the time I've put in so far.

    Thank you, Smaddy for your insight. I feel exactly the same way. I don't want to bother too many people but I'm in the big leagues now and can't afford financial mistakes. I believe the same thing happened to me. On the first night I streamed I did see myself under New Models (I think) because that night 31 guys faved me. As far as someone assuming I wasn't new, that could happen but I manually requested my favs, a break button, and a static image THIS week. I just got my static image and break button 2 days ago. My favs were just added 3-4 days ago and it's been almost 2 weeks since I first signed up. I'm not sure what all is transferred over but so far they only sent over my favs. I'll email Liz to see what she says. I'm hoping they fix it soon because I don't know much more of this I can take. I went from page one to page 7. After 3 hours today I was in paid 2% of the time and 6% for the week. I made $165 on AW in like an hour and made $100 on SM in 7 hours last night. FML. ><

    I switched to daily pay too and didn't get new model status. I could find myself on the first page of all the models, but when I click under new models I wasn't up there at all. I've emailed them, and they "assured me" I was but I know 100% I'm not. I just brushed it off. Oh well. I'm just gonna hustle harder

    The only reason I stay in Party chat mode is for the tv gold show offers. That is the only reason, I just realized that now. If they didn't exist I wouldn't even bother.

    Liz assured us (several time) it was 14 days, but my theory is that when favorites are transferred it somehow ends the new model status (so it may be a "5000 favorites...or new model" thing). We haven't really had time to investigate the issue with last week's madness, but its on my to-do list. If that's the case, then we'll let the transfer models weigh their options.

    When I contacted support they flat our said that becacuse my favorites were transferred that I wasn't eligible for "new girl status" but if i wanted new girl status I could choose between having my favorites transferred, or "new girl" status. I know that someone did change it manually because I was up on the new girl page for a couple of hours. Maybe there is just a miscommunication?

    I was thinking that too but I know first hand that it can't be that because my new status should've started on the 4th and my favs didn't get transferred over until February 10th.


    (As a side note) I haven't been under New Models since day 1 because oddly enough 31 people faved me on the new account that first day because they were only favs I had until now. I haven't had a big chunk of favs like that since which tells me that no one new is really finding me. New models usually get new favs in droves because they are getting more exposure. Now that I have my old favs I haven't even seen but a couple of regs as well.

    There is another overall trend working too, SM earnings have dropped across the board about 20-25% since January 15th or so...I don't think its just SM either, most sites have dropped in that time quite a bit. Post holiday spending retraction is what I blame, it should slowly start ramping back up as tax returns roll in.

    That being said, my OCD is looking at everyone's time in paid chat percents and there are a few outliers for some dropping a lot more than others. We have one that was hovering along at 45% and suddenly went to 9% in one week. Some of them are high-spending regulars expiring, it happens, but there could be something there. I'll put another math wiz on the case tomorrow while I work the new payment system. By and large though, most models are generally keeping within a few points of their average week to week, and a few have actually gotten some major boosts (one that went from a 6% average last year to 44% for the last 3 weeks). Kortney, if you could email me and give some idea of what your normal percents were that would be good, as we don't have enough history showing to baseline you.

    I'm pretty certain now that regular support and Liz's team are each on a different rulebook with the favorites transfers/new model status. I've been told 14 days and 30 days for new model, which at one time for sure had nothing to do with favorites being moved. We've also had favorites moved over in under an hour and others that take a week, with no regard to earnings potential or favoritism that I can figure out.

    Tried to send a group message, got this:

    You recently tried to send a group message (Subject: New outfit!). Unfortunately, your message can't be sent right now for the following reason:

    Please remember these messages are intended to encourage users to return to your room. We ask that they be personal, social and friendly. Messages that appear unsolicited or include references to selling, demanding, soliciting, personal information, or anything else deemed inappropriate, will be rejected.

    Feel free to submit a new group message that fixes the above issue.

    If you have any questions, please contact us.
    Wondering how a short message saying I got a new outfit wasn't friendly or was referred to selling, demanding, soliciting, personal information, or anything else inappropriate. Probably I was expected to write an Ode to the Magnificent Erection-Inducing Black Lace Catsuit. I could keep trying but given it takes them 3 days every time to look through it, the outfit's gonna become not so new by the moment they post it. Useless.

    My side by side comparison within a few months. Actually Jan was decent as well. Something ain't right!
    The top part is my hourly before and the lower half is my hourly now O.o. I'm willing to stick it out and see what happens over the next few weeks.

    Yeah, I tried to delete my post. I had a nervous breakdown but then refreshed again for the zillionth time and it was there and all was back to normal. (Well, as "normal" as it can get on SM, anyway)

    Thank you for checking though! You are a doll!!

    Because you're dark skin?????? I'm trying not to get offended by that. Don't ever let your weight or skin tone deter you from charging or feeling like you're worth something. I am dark skin and I charge these dude's up the ass just to see a titty. Nobody can tell me that I can't charge more than $1.99-$3.99 because I am dark skin. I wish someone would say that or try to make me feel that way I'd either block or curse them into oblivion. Our skin is beautiful no matter what people say. If anyone ever try's to make you feel bad because of your skin tone or weight remember that its their problem not yours...they're spewing out insecurity and trying to make themselves feel better by trying to damage you. There is nothing wrong with dark skin, being black, or your weight.
