    I'm logging in only because I need to work, not for another idiotic contest. Thank god I'm not a gold show girl at all, or I'd really be feeling it today. $0 to $1 gold shows where we just make dudes 'tip enough' to start the show are THE WORST to deal with, as far as I'm concerned. Not knocking the hustle a model uses, but telling dudes 'I'll start a gold show when I get enough free chat tips that I'm tracking and you can't actually see most of the time' is not gonna fly for long, ya know? Dudes who want a drawn out count down go to MFC. Dudes who wanna know exactly how far they are from goal and how long they have to do it stick around SM gold shows. It's confusing to their boners and that generally isn't a good thing, new or innovative as SM is trying to be aside.

    I wish SM would give bonuses/have contests for normal things instead of this complicated ass shit of 'only GOLD counts, but not from GOLD SHOW listed pledges, unless the customer tips into the show after it starts, then it registers as GOLD and not GOLD SHOW listed pledging and you get the vote then, and it sucks if you aren't a GS model or make 2-3x as much as GS models with privates because that's our arbitrary measurement stick.' I'd be totally on board with a 'most hours in a pay period' contest or a 'highest earning' contest a la Miss MFC or 'highest percentage in paid chat' or whatever because those apply to everyone and you don't really need to be a top row model to win any of them except the Highest Earning contest.

    Dumb dumb dumb dumb...

    I saw a lot of models who are participating in the contest look so unhappy and displeased.
    I want to reach out and tell them 'You don't have to do this, Darling!'.

    No, but it's a Saturday and that means cut off for a lot of girls. After this week, only two more checks come in before the holidays are in full swing, so I'm sure ladies are working extra hours so they can have cash for those holiday extras.

    I think they the rushed holiday Contest . They sent the e-mail on Tuesday, and then the contest happens on Friday? They could of at least sent the e-mail a week + before hand so models could have been promoting it, have time to make new content to sell during it, give models time to prepare and actually participate.

    I wish they would have done something else as far as what to vote for had fun still but that was because of the guys. They all said they thought the room is festive but they thought the contest was dumb because they would of rather vote for me not the room and thats why they voted. The positive of this is though now my room is done for the holidays. Hope everyone has a great day on cam and off.

    Does anyone know how long it takes star ratings to update? I took some time off of camming to focus on content production and when I came back a bunch of my 5 star ratings had fallen off so I didn't have the 5 minimum ratings to have a 5 star rating and it was showing the default 4 star rating. I worked my ass off last night and this morning and got several guys to rate me 5 stars and now I have enough that I should be showing a 5 star rating again but it's been hours and it hasn't updated so my placement is sucking balls. Should I give it the rest of the day or should I e-mail support?

    Exactly. Even though there's a notice About the contest On the first page, And In my topic box, And saved text, Nobody Cared. Nobody tipped. So, I just went on with my room As it usually is And it was business as usual. Lame, lame, lame.

    I got on, & did the whole contest thing, shouldn't have wasted my time, didn't even break minimum wage. Back on MFC where I feel appreciated trying to end the month in the top 200

    Same here. I'm glad my room is now set for the holidays but the contest just seemed pointless.

    I had guys ask me if the site was planning on trying to pump tips out of them every month now. Others told that there were so many rooms where they went in where girls were begging for tips it was just annoying to them. Also, not a one gave a shit about the theme and very few felt compelled to tip to "help out" in the contest.
    Annnd it was my worst traffic night of the week. I must admit I probably spent the last hour ranting in free chat about how stupid it was, hahaha. I ran a raffle for a chance to win a 99 cent excl show, which got me some tips, but to be honest I probably made less in tips then I do on a normal night online.

    It's sad to watch models begging for tips. That is why I don't work on token sites. Fuck that.

    Well, besides the fact that the contest was rushed and dudes just feel like they're being forced to tip for fuck all knows what, there's also the issue of really weird timing.

    I mean, am I the only person here asking why the fuck we're having a HOLIDAY DECOR CONTEST on the 28th of November? Would it not make WAY more sense to do this, I dunno, closer to the actual holidays? Are they hoping we'll decorate our rooms and just leave that shit up until they're over to be festive? Because, sure, assuming for half a second that dudes give a shit, that's fine and dandy, but maybe we could've waited until December had at least started. Or maybe make it a 'Holiday Week' contest or 'Holiday Month' contest instead of a random day at the end of fucking November. Just sayin'...

    I agree 100%. Stupid, stupid, stupid contest.
    I'll give'em credit for finally having a detailed, well written explanation of the rules. Geez, Halloween was a fiasco!

    My assumption was that today is probably one of the lowest money earning days of the year and they simply thought it'd be a way to boost revenue. I do NOT know if statistically is one of the worst revenue days, but I kinda think so.

    The largest college rivalries took place today, and I swear I saw a tumbleweed blow through my free chat once the games started at noon ET. I gave up. I have no patience for free chat. From what I could see, I wasn't the only model feeling it. A friend of mine suggested that tonight after the games end it has historically been busy on cam =)

    Logic tells me (and my own extended family plans) that across the country out of town family is visiting, or our GUYS are out of town. Plus the kids home from school, so finding a little 'quality time' to tug the tiger may be scarce. Family goes home today & tomorrow, so I'm hopeful that guys will be finding time to knock off a shot with me before, during or after tomorrows NFL games (from 1pm ET) Only time will tell.....

    Men are trying to get a peek of some ass n tittays...the last thing they're looking at is your decorations. You're lucky this weekend if they even noticed your hair color let alone your Xmas lights. Old sales reports probably told SM this weekend was weak in numbers so they rolled out another contest.

    Ive been a SM girl for ovr 2 years and i'm soo bored with my routine for new guys.. the first 1-3 minutes i stall on getting naked because i want to ensure i make it to at least 5 mins .. If hes only there to see me and naked and leave.

    These past two weeks i went from working 2 days a week to 6/7 .. the first 1-3 mins is definitely a weak spot for me because I lost out on a nice bit of money with soo many repetive 3/4 minute men. Simply because I wasnt' into it in the beginning of the session. Once i make it to the 5 mins mark im great and comfortable.

    Any Suggestions ladies?

    What do you do in the first three minutes and what goes through your mind? Maybe you're moving too fast.

    I don't do anything until I get past five minutes. I'll "stall" by asking a lot of questions such as name, location, single or taken, what nationality, age and the list goes on. I want to get to know them and what they like so asking questions are part of my hustle. Don't take anything off until they ask you to. I cater to the long privates/exclusive type of guys. The minutes men are gonna leave regardless of what you do because they're broke.

    There's a great thread on here about how to stall the session, if someone knows how to find it.
    I struggle with this also, because a lot Of guys Scream at me to show them my ass If I ask him one too many questions About themselves. Go figure.
