    I am happy for u, congrats, tho dont forget u in Western Europe (Belgium, right?), young & gorgeous so yes, i can see why
    Sorry i forgot to mention i referred to Eastern European girls like myself who look average, are not that young anymore & are not in a SM studio. We are many like this. There is a difference in perception/ value to what Western Europe vs Eastern Europe is, even SM make a difference in region filter on site, they have Western Europe 1st choice then Central/ Eastern Europe, why not just Europe? Because we are different 'quality' u see, i am sarcastic now of course. Cheers!

    ^^ Remember lots of guys add you as favs so their top favs will be placed higher. This is why customers become regs because you're always on their radar. If you have everything you need (good connection, 5 star ratings, good camera and can hustle) you will rise to the top or at least the middle of the 1st page. Don't be afraid to branch out and bring guys to the site who can add to your profits. Social media and advertising and marketing and dropping your CM link also helps. At the end of the day, it's your money that you should be worried about and not necessarily your placement. Placement doesn't always equal money but if you do your part as well you'll start seeing more money.

    Off topic but can't wonder,if being in the studio and they dont give you good placement anymore why are you still with them ?You can always start on your own.With the succes you say you have now on sm you should be able to make the same money on another site while waiting for your new sm account.Also if you build your placement by working you should be able to do that again.None of my business probably but it makes me wonder why would someone give a % from their hard worked money if they have no benefits in exchange.
    Also I noticed you have a lot of "inside "info,any idea why they took out for EE the option to set USA as a display country ?Still they let girls from romanian studio set USA but not the others.Favoritism ?

    KatM I feel like you're finding excuses and accepting defeatist behaviors. You are the only one in control of how much you make. Make up can make you go from average to stunning if you know how to apply it. You can make bank, too. Stop accepting defeat, and your money will grow.

    ^^^ It's not defeat Kortney, it's realistic expectations, i dont feel defeated, if i was i would have stopped camming by now, i am just realistic & maybe a bit tired but not by the work itself, by knowing people, sometimes i wish not to know what i know u see, almost 15 years on cam & dealing with soo many people, members & cam girls from all over the world, oh well, it's a heavy 'baggage' to carry. A brain wash would help haha, to start all new & fresh & have the enthusiasm i had many years ago.

    But what I'm saying is; you can change your reality. You don't have to accept it. You already said it yourself, "start fresh" it's never too late!

    They haven't actually released the settings yet. Ladies have just been changing their settings to I think 1280 x 720 with a birate of 1500(or however high you can go). A few ladies have posted what settings they've been using these last few days/weeks.

    Enjoy your dinner. Hopefully you won't need to rely on SM to bring traffic to you. If they don't, then what? You have to step your own pussy up. Enjoy your day.

    They're in beta right now with this and it is heavily affecting placement. I'm not sure when they'll be released to the general public, but you can tweak your settings a bit to get close to or exceed the 720 requirements.

    With regards to the new placement, settings and all the other stuff...here's what I think. First off, I'm from South Africa. We have shittier internet than most places (upload speeds of 3 are considered good) and yea according to SM's new rankings girls from this region are NOWHERE basically because the demand is for girls from other areas. So yea, if I want to get back on SM and give it a good go, best believe I will be duking it out on page 7 or some bullshit like that. But you know what? I will fucking triumph anyways because I'll find other ways to market myself and let all the people that love me know where I am and where to find me.

    I will be the motherfucking queen of page 7 or whatever.

    Also, if a site doesn't work for you anymore, CHANGE!! Change and hustle your ASS OFF wherever else you land up. I have switched "main" sites 3 times and am now working the fringe of camsites and I still pay my fucking bills on time (mostly) and take care of business. New Model status is given to everyone everywhere and you can make or break yourself on a site depending on how you use that. Don't be scared of changing up where you work and how you work. Seriously. When I left SM for the first time to leave my studio, I was terrified because I thought my money was all gone. Nowadays I make more money than I ever saw on SM working elsewhere.

    Will I go back to SM? Yes, because more eggs, more money. I do have an active account and I will start working it again, but as a secondary site most likely, but if I find myself too limited by the new settings, there will always be other places that will embrace me, my fat ass and my personality. Camland demands you to be a chameleon, adapt to whatever background/environment you are in.

    Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

    Because I can't quit 30k favorites that easy. I've worked my ass for that, literally. My studio takes away 5%. I have plans with those (future) money. And when you get to a certain level of earnings, you don't have patience anymore to start over, you expect everything. Bad habbit.
    I have no idea what's the thing with the display country. Before they used to let you have whatever you wanted to. I wonder how you figured it out somebody doesn't live in a certain country. Display country it's not your natal country, it's strictly the location one, otherwise european girls who live in US wouldn't have it.

    Not just that, those of us who do well and support ourselves/our families can't afford to drop down to being a new model on another site, because while some of our tippers may come from our 1st site, they never all come and it's hard to convince people on a new site that you're worth your rates. Especially coming from a site like SM and moving to MFC or Chatturbate where you can just pop in and out of rooms and see free shows all night.
    It makes no sense to go from "sorry you have to pay to play" to doing free shows in hopes of people tipping.
    Don't get me wrong, I don't want to hand that money over to my studio any more than the next girl, but jumping from one site to another isn't as easy as it sounds.

    Hey girls! Today was my first day on SM - it was good! However I'm trying to get the encoder and every time I try to install it I get an error saying "“Install” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should eject the disk image." I have a Mac and I'm running the beta OS El Capitan. Do I ned to downgrade back down to not be in beta anymore? Does the encoder really make that much of a difference?

    Oh ur SM studio 'ONLY' takes 5%? That is good believe me! When i started with the studios 15 years ago they paid us either $200 per month + a little measly 5% commission or for the second i worked on, 25% from the money we made (our share) & the rest of 75$ they kept for themselves greedy bastards! That was when working on the 1st cam site on the market, Ifriends.
    Glad things changed to what it is now for u babes, 5% is nothing compared with how much money u can make also because u have the SM "support" as their studio girls and trust me, there is support whether u know it or not. Giving all that up will mean 'suicide' business wise lol, i can see why u dont wanna leave. 5% to give away from thousands is nothing but 5% extra added to less money, well, the math says u in a win win situation now so yea, stay there & work ur way up and make that money babes! If i wanted to continue cam career for a number of years from now on & stay in the business i would go to a good studio myself but i want out of cam business, is not making me happy anymore, i reached the saturation level, i wanna do something else. Good luck to u all!

    ETA: plus working in a studio is soo much better business wise, u have all the equipment to use in their studio, is not ur responsibility to pay for things like internet, air conditioning or heat (cant afford A.C at home anymore so i sweat my ass off here & barely able to work in this heat or wear way too much clothes in winter cause even with an extra heater its not warm enough), the studio offers it all including tech. support & proper cam space.

    Working at home is not always the best solution when u live with the parents let's say or u dont have enough space and/or privacy or proper working conditions. Plus if u are in a studio u work longer hrs than if u are at home, i can see why SM 'punish' me with less traffic in my room lol, i looked up my hrs & it says i worked 46 hrs in the last 30 days? My average is around 50 hrs per month!! There are people who work these hours in a week! But i know why i dont work longer hrs, i just cant because of living conditions, lack of privacy & health issues so yeah; i have in my Ranking page most parameters to Excellent except the hours & Round trip, these i cant help with, the round trip shows of 250-300 (is the long distance between me & SM servers) & the hours, oh well, cant help it either, i do what i can, there is no way for me i can cam 90 hrs per month or more.

    I"m not very good when it comes to computer/pc stuff, but this helped me and I found them by accident, look up Streamate Recruiting videos on youtube. Vanessa has a few helpful videos on youtube that helped me when installing the encoder. Hope that helps.

    ^ That's when you stream (Round trip time). Every time when you log in, that value resets to 0, when you log off you'll see the last value you had. Shows how long it takes from the moment when your information leaves the computer, until it gets in the servers at SM. Basically, shows the delay in your chat room (video/sound). It's a big factor for the position, once it goes over 350-400 you start dropping on the page.
    Multiple factors can affect it. Sometimes it's not your computer or the internet, but the node connection where the information goes in.

    Edit: You should improve your online hours, they help your position too.
