    ...or if time is an issue, you could figure out how to maximize your earnings in multiple ways so that when Streamate is glitchy, it isn't the end of the world. Make clips and sell them so you are creating passive income while you're struggling through the glitches. Build a social media presence so that your brand is in demand. FIND A DIFFERENT SITE. Adapt. Hustle. Don't depend on Streamate to be your sole source of income. Telling Streamate to fix their shit over and over is the equivalent of being on a rocking horse. You can do it all day long, and you'll still be in the exact spot you were when you started.

    Feast and famine, this happens in all lines of self employment (hell, all business!) my partner is also self employed and he has times when he is fighting so hard for work and then other times when there's not enough hours in the day to work

    ATTN: New page in the model's panel "TOPSPOT GOLD SHOWS"

    Opt-in
    Check "Opt-in" below to be considered for TopSpot Gold Shows. By choosing to opt-in, you agree to all of the rules of TopSpot Shows below. Breaking any TopSpot rule may cause your show to be canceled before earnings are collected. You may also stop seeing TopSpot Gold Show requests.

    Guaranteed Goal
    All TopSpot Gold Show requests contain a guaranteed minimum goal. When the show is completed, if your total pledges (earned in both the pre-show and during the show) are lower than the guaranteed minimum goal, you'll automatically be paid the difference. This automatic adjustment will show up in your earnings as "Compensation" from "Producer" and may take a few hours to arrive.

    Because you have a guaranteed goal, the TopSpot show will always begin immediately after the pre-show.

    Rules
    To be eligible for a TopSpot show, you must follow these requirements:

    Party Chat: You must be streaming in Party Chat. To make this your default chat setting, go to the streaming page and click the "Settings" tab at the top. Under "Default chat type mode," select "Party Chat."
    Free Chat: You must have Free Chat (no credit card required) enabled. To make sure this is on, go to the streaming page and click the "Settings" tab at the top. Under "Allow Free Chat," select "Yes."
    Audio and Video Quality: You must have audio on to be considered for a show. Your audio and video quality and must meet our requirements.
    No Music: Music is not allowed. Please turn off all music as soon as you receive a TopSpot Gold Show request.
    Follow All Site Rules: Shows must strictly follow the Streamate Code of Conduct. Your show should not contain animals, banned content, banned phrases, illegal substances, or any other content that isn't allowed. Failing to meet these rules could cancel your show or revoke your TopSpot eligibility.
    TopSpot Show Requests
    TopSpot Gold Shows can only be started by producer request. Here's what you can expect if a show is requested:

    Request: TopSpot requests will only show up when you are not in a paid session, or are in a Gold pre-show. Accepting a TopSpot show will cancel that pre-show and will start the new pre-show for the TopSpot show. TopSpot requests are timed and must be accepted before the request expires.
    Accepting Requests: The number values in your request are based on averages for your past successful Gold Shows. These numbers are non-negotiable and can't be changed. Accepting the show as-is will use the last room topic you entered (if cookied). You can also accept with the ability to change your topic. Once your topic has been submitted successfully, your pre-show will start. After the TopSpot show is accepted, timers will generally force start actions if not acted upon.
    Declining Requests: You can decline a producer request, but be aware that another request won’t be sent for a specific time period afterwards. If you decline often enough, producers may stop sending requests. Feel free to opt-out anytime you aren't streaming if you don't want to see requests.
    Canceled Shows: TopSpot Gold Shows start automatically when the pre-show ends and can't be canceled. If you stop streaming during a TopSpot pre-show or show, the show will end and earnings will not be collected. If shows are ended this way too often, producers may stop sending TopSpot requests.
    Warnings
    During the pre-show, if the producer notices you are breaking any TopSpot rules, they may ask you to make changes before the show begins. Follow the producer instructions to make sure the show follows all TopSpot rules.

    If you break any rules during the live show, you may see warnings from your producer or the show may be canceled immediately. Depending on the violation, you may stop seeing TopSpot Gold Show requests.

    Kinda sounds like exactly the same thing as the old TV Gold Shows, but without the TV bit and with a lot more subtle bitching directed at models who argue that they're being low-balled on these shows. Seems like instead of TV, they're making it clear (without saying it) that these shows are being recorded for affiliate use.

    most of us use a live banner of gold shows. We cant get specific shows from models. There is also a vine type video we use, recorded
    BUT
    with that said all models sign up and not reading or understanding that any and all content used on streamate is their property to use for such thing as advertising to bring customers to the models to then give a return to the affiliates that work their asses off to get and sometimes buy traffic for the site.

    I had opted out bc of the low ball and now wonder if its the same turn out as TV.

    You've got the placement and I watched you a lot when I was a newbie. To be totally frank, I haven't seen you online much anymore. I know you're busy with school and family, but regularity is the name of the game and I just don't see you on very much.

    Gold shows aren't bringing in $300+ a show anymore for most models and if you aren't online frequently (20+ per week, at least), your high tippers are going to find other models to spend on. You've indicated before in prior posts that you aren't comfortable doing privates/exclusives, but there is a hell of a lot more money in privates--especially fetish--than in gold shows now that the novelty of them is starting to wear off. Gold shows these days are more a way to entice new customers into spending on per-minute shows later on than they are stable income when you have limited hours to cultivate regulars.
    I make more in privates doing classic. Coming from a chic that hates classic chat, despise it but one day I clicked it and I swear to god its like a different type of member.
    When I go back to party, the same annoying assholes pop up and hang out. I get annoyed, go back to classic and stay in private. I would ALMOST SWEAR its a different pool of members

    has it been slow on sm at all? i use to do so well and ever since i started school not so much

    here you are, I read the forum pages backwards
    i needed someone last week for this
    hugs bb
    its not just you or any model, its the traffic. its not you, Do not loose your fire.

    Last week I didn't crack 1 k and I worked 6 days, I wanted to cry bc I pulled mad hours too.

    Its spring break,Highschool kids are home, the sun is shining, its running in the 80s in NC and VA. People are packing into the beach, I live here and see the difference. I have talked to multiple fans that are on vacation

    I started doing classic and surprise.. I do much better than trying to hold goldshows. Its scary bc we cant really control our income but its good income.
    Keep ur head up and nose in those books

    So this is meant to be a positive message to Streamate that's why i put it here: now that i have 8GB RAM into my system u showing me your love Streamate?! )

    Please put a note in the dash board of our accounts, a BIG RED NOTE to see, tell us we need AT LEAST 8GB RAM to run our PC's in true HD! Call it SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS, make it visible.

    I was not aware of the system requirements for HD720 because u did not provide ur site rep with the info when she offered us the new settings but hey, NEVER TOO LATE to find out and turn things right here, after 10 damn months!!

    I am happy cause my room WORKS PROPERLY!! when site it's working it's working GOOD ))
    I always knew it was not me but YOU!

    Please inform your models about system and connection requirements in order to stream in HD, make it visible in bold letters in dash board cause a lot of new models have no clue where to look for the info ok? If u hide it somewhere on the Help section there people are not going to find the info that easy.

    I still LOVE YOU when u good to me, watch out not to screw things up again for the next big thing u going to implement OK ??!! ))

    Happy dance here!!!

    I've just steadily watched my income dwindle down in the past month. Was averaging 800-1000 week working 25-30 hours, so not top model income, but still a good solid earning. Last week, I clocked 28 hours and made 430. So far this week, I'm sitting at 20 hours and I've made 126. I've played with rates, changed my look around, played with time of day while keeping my normal "good hours". Nothing seems to be working. Its like everything is just falling apart for me right now.

    about the party chat versus classic chat I have noticed a difference in member's behavior too..
    is it possible that we are advertised on different style ( more private focused) sites while in classic chat?

    @Melly -> Dont think so LOL cause u can anytime switch the session type u working with.

    Here i really am in the position to give precise information regarding these two type of chats -> In Party chat u attract the guys who look for Gold Shows PLUS beggars, trolls, cheap guys, they take advantage of the fact that is an 'open to all to see what everyone's typing to you' while in classic it's You only (with a few exceptions) who see their text and can ban the abusers in silence.

    I consider Party chat to be a magnet for beggars, cheapos & trolls, they dont come often when in Classic cause they know they cant really harm much. So in Classic chat u get the guys who are interested in private/ exclusive shows, the "quality members" so to say.
    I cam in Classic chat & sell my shows (vanilla, fetish, etc). If i go to Party chat i get the ones i mentioned above, they come like hawks lol, NO Thank You, i wanna have control over my room and clientele.
    This is me, other models run their rooms differently.

    P.S: have u managed to work the camera settings? Sorry i could not be here to help more but i had to get off pc & lay down a few hrs (took a nap ).
    What i use for lighting is: 2 desk lamps on my right and left plus another floor lamp, a mix of daylight bulbs and warm bulbs, also a blue bulb at my back on the wall, the effect is amazing, sorry i cant post pictures here in public chat *wink*.

    I have the c920 camera on auto mode for everything except White balance and this because i move the cam when in a show and switch on another lamp i have here on a small table so it has to be set to *Right Light* otherwise it messes up with the stream/picture quality.

    Now i read these automatic settings put a load on the CPU... i take these into consideration now regarding splitcamming, if i untick the boxes and do the settings like audri showed us in her thread i might pus less effort on my CPU & maybe (i hope) i can splitcam using less system resources than now.
    Will have to test these all.

    So tell me/us about ur findings with the contrast issue xx (i never doubted u know to work the settings by the way, just wanted to mention that is the slider who creates the contrast but the contrast effect is also connected to the lighting in the room plus that flickering thing is also a specific frequency setting to take into consideration, still puzzled why for me it shows as PAL-B by default ....

    xx

    Also i noticed the new traffic on SM is different somehow, a lot of demanding guys and crazy requests lately but guess what? They spend! I was about to kick some guys out of my room cause of the way they asked for things in free chat but then when i asked to be taken pvt/ excl. they came in, they took me by surprise!!
    So dont rush to kick them out cause they good spenders, not sure where SM gets the new traffic from but these guys do spend thank god!

    @KatM, thank u for all the details , its nice of u
    I tried to send u a prv msg a few days back, I guess u have those blocked?
    BTW I set the anti flicker OFF, seems to help with the gain, its not moving to the left ( less) much... or at all...

    I chose classic chat today to see if I can push for more privates... was a bit lucky, not much..day time the traffic is not as good, thats butttom line and I cant spend nights (much or at all)

    I'm camming again on SM after a longer pause (couple of months) and on the first day back, some guy rated me 1 star because Firefox crashed in the middle of pvt. Because of that my rating fell to 3 stars and my placement tanked (on the same day, before this rating, I was on page 3). When I last chcked after 1 star rating I was on 10th page. I've got seven 5-star ratings after that, but "my ranking" tool still shows 3 stars 7 days after that. I have like 1 person in room every 2 hours! So now I have eight ratings in the past 90 days, seven 5 stars and one 1 star and when gets this usually updated?

    They get updated in 24 hours usually but the 5 stars only count 1 per day per customer so if one guy rated you more than once it wont show his additional 5 stars for that day only 1 from them. I dont know if thats the case or not just letting you know incase it was that way.Hope this helps.

    I'm probably retreading old ground, but has anyone notice a difference in placement using SM broadcaster vs. Adobe flash media encoder that was independent of other factors like framerate, bit rate, etc.?

    I'm still using the FMLE myself (hate the broadcaster with a passion) and my placement in the top few rows hasn't budged any. My understanding from SM is that the placement bonus is just for using HD720 settings with either encoding system. That may change when the broadcaster comes out of beta testing though.

    I just did my first Streamate show ever tonight! Woohoo! I'd been really struggling with my public shows, and I was hoping this would be better for me and was cautiously optimistic. I made way more than I ever have yet on public so I hope this isn't a newbies luck fluke. I was on for 1hr 45 min and made $55.68. I had a 24 min exclusive chat at 5.99. He seemed content and got a bit of gold tips from others.

    The only bad was that I fucked up and didn't realize that a private had actually gone into private chat because I didn't get a popup "accept" button like the exclusive or like I'm used to seeing on other sites. So I feel really bad cuz this person went into private and I did nothing for them. I'm scared about this affecting my ratings. To confirm, basically any time I see someone "log on" in the private chat box that means I've got private? Sorry, I know it's a stupid question.

    Overall I can't wait to get on again though.

    Also, there isn't any way I can message this person to apologize is there? They stayed for a whole two minutes bless their soul.

    Congratulations! Yes when a client goes to Private it makes a noise so its good to have sound on if you can and the red bar at the top of your chat window that says "Paid Chat-All" will drop down to reveal a new chat window under it. There will also be a flashing light on the left hand side of the bar next to the icon that resembles three people crowded together. If you finish a Private or Exclusive chat then you can re-close the "Paid Chat" window by clicking on the red bar. That way when a new client comes to private you know immediately because the chat opens up.

    I know its confusing to read it but you will get the hang of it.

    Also if you click on your earnings then click on details you will see the clients who spend on you. If that guy who took you private spent any money in Private his username and what he spent will show up. You can click on his user name and leave a note on his account that this is the guy who took you prvt. but you didnt notice. Then if you see him again you can apologize and explain that you are new and didnt understand the system yet. He would probably love it.

    If it's in Beta testing still who is testing it lol if many of us keep camming with the FMLE?
