    Default SM Average rating?

    Hi girls,

    So tonight i spent some time actively focusing on SM and in 37 mins I got 6 privates and made just over $60. When looking at the my details page it shows all this and also average rating - mine is 2!!!! WTF????? Is this average rating what the guys rate your show as? If so why the fuck is it only a 2??? I'm never camming on there again if that's how mean the guys are lol.

    Also, since i spent pretty much all of my time in private/ exclusive, does that mean i'll get a better placement?

    **Just noticed it says 1 rating - so one guy rated me a 2? I'm seriously fucking offended!!!

    Some people just like to knock others down Katie. I get the occasional 1 or 2 star rating, as I'm sure we all do. Don't take it personally!

    But my very FIRST rating ever on there, and each show the guys seemed to love and said they'd leave good feedback. I don't get it. Guys can't say enough good stuff about me on my normal site. The crazy thing is, these are also UK guys on SM even though i was expecting americans!!! I don't get it Can you turn off ratings? Do they affect your placement on the site?

    I wish we could turn off ratings but unfortunately it's not an option. It sucks that was your first rating but I really think it is a fluke and you will soon get enough 5 stars to raise your average.

    From what I understand, many factors affect your placement on the site, not just ratings. It's also about how much time you spend in private vs free chat, whether you use the encoder, etc.

    Holy crap! Just looked at the breakdown of shows and how much i made - my prices are 4.99 and 5.99. In 37 mins I made $184 total, but i only GOT $60 of that!! Christ why does anyone work there??? I might give it another go but only because I'm on DP there and I need quick cash. I actually did enjoy it, but then that rating sort of smashed my mood

    Yes, our cut is crappy but the traffic is good. I used to cam on a site that paid 50% but 50% of nothing is still nothing

    Why does anyone work there? For me personally it's because I have not found another site that has more consistent traffic. I find that even with the percentage we get only being 35% I make way more than MFC or any other site. I don't even try to find out what was "really made" because it would just irritate me. I only look at what SM shows as my cut and then I am happy.

    I wish I knew what went into the placement also... since day one of starting I have been within the first 5 rows, lately it's been the first 3 rows... then the last few days of this week it was the first two rows. I think it must be rating and time in pvt vs free, also internet connection speed and if you are using HD.

    I wouldn't give up on SM just yet, it sounds like this was your first day on there if this was your first rating? If you did $60 in 37 mins you are off to a GREAT start. Keep it up! Don't let one stupid guy get you down.

    I've never been on AW but it's so weird lots of girls say SM is full of assholes. I think the guys are actually a lot nicer than MFC or webcams.com, those are the only other two places I've been though. In general I consider SM guys to be pretty nice.

    The funny thing is though I was expecting all the guys on SM to be from the US, especially when it's 3/4/5 am here in the UK!! But all my guys tonight were from the UK. I do have 100% british in my tag line so maybe that's it. Think i'll take that out. I was rather looking forward to trying a US, canada, or aussie crowd.

    It wasn't my first day, but it's the only time i've actually paid any attention to it. Because the cut is so low I've only ever really played around on there and tried to split cam with another site. I guess you could say i'm trying to build a backup site for myself. The traffic was certainly there, and the guys seemed genuinely nice and interested in me. I'm just gutted one guy rated me so low. What was he expecting? And if it wasn't what i was giving him why the hell didn't he say so?? Grrr *mumble, arg*...

    Thanks girls, I'll give it another go tomorrow and hope for a better rating :p

    Don't worry about it. I used to get offended about the ratings. Now I just block the f*ckers. If you click on My Reports -> My Earnings then click on the date (it's underlined), it will give a drop-down of the guys who paid. Click on the guy's name. A window will pop up with his profile. Click the "sessions" tab and if he rated you, the rating will be listed there. If I don't block the guy right after he leaves, I put his name on my list and get him later. Only because I've NEVER given a 1 or 2 star show & don't deserve bad ratings.

    I have an average rating of 4.5 stars. Most weeks, I am between 4.25 and 4.6, but I've had two weeks where my rating was under 4. And I work a lot, so that's a lot of bad ratings but many more good rating. But the thing to remember is that you start with 4.5 stars and it takes quite a few bad ratings to lower your rating. And ultimately, it DOESN'T MATTER. The guys will pay you no matter what your rating is. Just like they don't read profiles, they don't usually look at ratings or comments.

    The guys have bad days and since they often come on here to work out their aggression/ relieve stress, we bear the brunt of that. You could do an absolutely perfect show and get a 2 star. Or maybe they just don't read your profile. And some have completely unreasonable expectations. I have had several guys give me 1 or 2 b/c I didn't follow orders within the first 30 seconds. Just ignore them. Focus on the ones who appreciate you.

    Just keep working it. Keep doing your thing. You'll do fine.

    It says number of ratings and average ratings. Also, when you go to "my ratings" it ONLY shows bad ratings (1 & 2 stars). But on your earnings page, it shows number of ratings AND your average rating

    Only one reason for me - money.

    If anyone can show me a site where I can consistently make the same money per hour as I do there I'll go! I've yet to see it.

    I consistently make more than that on my normal site. Sure i could just stay there, but i want to build a back up in case things ever go tits up, or just somewhere to make extra cash when needed. Just a bit shocked by the low payout is all. I knew about it of course, but when you see the numbers for the first time it take sa bit of getting over. How do SM get away with their payout when other sites pretty much all pay more than that?

    So I found the guy and added a note about him - is this only available to me or can he see it too? And can i block him before he's in my room again.. i might forget who he is otherwise.

    What's your normal site?

    Which sites pay more than 35%? The only place I've seen that does is MFC.

    The notes are only visible to you. I usually take notes when rated badly by a custie. I also take notes to remember who they are,names,ages,what they are into. makes him feel special when i say "hey Joe,Hows the weather there in Florida tonight" then i get "wow u have a great memory..teehee..when they come back in my room the next time i will see they have a note by their name and i open it. if it says he rated me down i block him cause if i was not worthy of 5 stars to him before then why is he bothering with me,i don't want to risk another bad rating.

    Adultwork pays 65% after taking out the 5% for the justcamit software fee.

    MissKatie, the notes you make on SM can only be seen by you. And if you made that much in 37 minutes that's awesome. I'm raising my damn rates (I'm at $3.49 and $3.99).

    As far as dealing with guys from the UK or Americans, there are definite differences. I only cam very, very part time, but from my experience American guys are much more likely to bitch about $ and to beg for stuff in free. I don't really get beggars on AW, and when someone does ask me to flash I only have to tell them no one time.

    Woooo, just done my first full hour on SM and made $93 and got 3 5 star ratings. Feeling a whole lot happier now It's been non-stop though, literally working for my damn money haha.

    Question though - do guys have to pay to phone you? I've had a few guys phone and I'm wondering if i get extra for this? Or if they can actually see my number?
