    Sad What happened to SM?

    The past few days it's been really, really dead for me. I've been sitting here with 1-3 people in my room for the past hour, and only one brief private (on a FRIDAY NIGHT).

    I hear everyone talking about traffic getting better lately, but it seems to be stagnating for me. Is it slow for anyone else? Maybe my placement has gotten screwed up somehow and I'm ranking lower now?

    Hate to hijack, but are gold shows only for certain models? Or, is it if you have streaming HD?

    It was dead for me this afternoon too, but I was only on a short while cause I had a phone call.

    Coco Gold shows have to get enabled by tech (supposedly being done in batches) and there are requirements. The main ones are the upload speed, running HD encoder and 4.5+ rating. Can't remember any others, I can't get them right now cause the damn encoder lags for me.

    sm has never brought me a crowd... :/
    i thought it was a good idea when i signed up because it was such a popular site, but.. i might find somewhere else as my 2nd camming site..
    i get on webcams and my room is packed. i think its because the models arent rated, and arent rated on whether or not you are using the encoder.

    i made 145 today, the 3 hours i was on, i'd never make that on sm...

    I have been thinking about working WC part time too. I've heard many girls do pretty good there.

    If SM continues to suck for me, I think I may go to webcams.com.

    SM's been ok for me tonight. Making about what I usu average an hour. I did notice I was a little lower in my placement than I usually am. I think there's a lot of girls on tonight. And I lot of higher ranking models at that. I've been having to constantly shake my ass to keep my room numbers over 20.

    I'm with you! Money has been at it's lowest on SM. I think it's time for a new approach.

    I wasn't on tonight (Friday) but I will be on Saturday. I was just looking around to see what it was like and jayda Diamonde was in the #1 spot doing her LAST SHOW FOR TEN DAYS!!! and she had like 30 ppl. in her room trying to do a gold show and with 8 mins left on the clock she was only at like $20.
    WTF
    But it is mid-month...remember that every week is different.
    I have huge issues procrastinating like alot of other cam girls do. If i were on 8 hrs. a day m-f I would be rolling in it. Camming is my only job & I am keeping it that way!
    Just remember that the first week of the month when people with real jobs get paid, is prime time. If you are going to put in a lot of hours, do it the first week of the month and then coast through the rest of the month. I think we will all sleep easier if we have bomb ass checks from the 1st week of the month and average checks the other three weeks.
    What do you ladies do to help with procrastination?

    I'm not on SM but I noticed it was WAY busy for me earlier in the week, then *just ok* Thursday, then slow as fuck Friday. I still made great money this week but usually I'm busier on weekends and not so much weekdays. This week is just backwards for me.

    So perhaps it's just something with this week; guys blew their loads early and don't have any left now. Or maybe there's just something going on this weekend so they're unplugged??

    But really, one thing I've learned is that you really can't predict when you'll make the money. I have my patterns but there are loads of random days too. This is why I like to try to keep some semblance of a schedule. Plus if I don't make myself follow some sort of routine I'll never get online for the wankers. ha


    tessarubyxoxo: somehow i ended up on SW's homepage.... then i clicked on "forums." & i was in fucking narnia.

    If it's hurting for star performers on SM, it's hurting for everyone. I still have my WC account but haven't worked it in ages! Forgot about I need to work on it though. At least I can use that for backup. I see lots of new features on there...

    I forgot, what % payout do we get on there?

    Its been really slow for me as well, Its taking me longer to reach my goal, but the biggest problem is im not seeing any of my cool regulars. Im getting tons of demanding customers, or customers asking me to do things I dont do (fisting, peeing, etc).

    Its been so bad that my ratings are suffering, and have been dropped to a four and a half star. Streamate has been very frustrating. I wish their was an option to have somone banned as soon as they give you a low rating, if they give you a bad rating obviously your not the performer for them. I havent had these issues in past weeks, just this week. Im seriously hoping things improve.

    Yes. I was on row 2 this morning and had nothing but beggars. I had one regular so I ended up doing ok but for such exposure I'd have thought things would be much better than they were.
