    Default Waited months to use my SM account now COMPLETELY dead?

    I really want to use SM because I'm sick of MFC, but I havn't been camming for months now ever since I found out I was pregnant. I signed up for streammate about 4 months ago and now that I am about 4 1/2 months pregnant and starting to show I wanted to start back up on camming. When I log into SM, the room is literally empty for abut 10 minutes then I get a guest or two who seem to leave immediately. I have no clue why my room is so dead. Is there some sort of time period that they advertise you for then if you don't take advantage of that you're screwed (like MFC.)

    This sucks, I really need quick camming money. Any advice?

    I wish there was like an awesome new camsite I can take advantage of with nice payout and lots of traffic... :/

    I find SM and Webcams.com to be really dead. I tried them both a few times a week (at different times of the day!) and they were both still dead! It sucks because I just signed for DP with SM :/ I'm having more luck with MCF! Now if I was more consistent on that site...

    on SM, do you have geo restriction enabled? i noticed as soon as i disabled that feature completely, my room picked up alot and i started making better money. also you can set up a store at clips4sale and do fetish vids too! i would take advantage of the whole pregnancy fetish thing if i were you, i heard girls bank at that shit.

    I've streamed in both HD and reg and really no change in guests on SM. :/ The only place I block is my own state and that prob won't change because my ex is a stalker and one time I didnt have my state blocked some kid I used to go to school with was like ...Amber? lol I'm trying to start camming again because I want to take advantage of the preg niche but idk...i think I just look like a have a little chub for now, hopefully just the fact I'm pregnant will get guys rolling in. I really regret taking time of MFC and having my camscore suffer when I got back, that kind of permanently screwed me over.

    Oh and another question. I started off with an account at MFC in jan and closed it around feb (the score dropped to around 1500 from taking weeklong breaks and it was continuing to drop as I was no longer new model and taking alot of breaks.) I then opened a new account off the same email. Now I want them to shut down the newer account (700 camscore) and reopen my old account, think that's a possibility?

    delete ur sm account and start over. then you will at least be under the new model category.

    I agree with Hottie. I just deleted mine after being inactive. They aren't really strict about that like MFC is now.

    Streamates was dead for me on day one. The most I made on that site was $30. I think it has more to do with placement. That site definitely has more models live on that site at a time than MFC. Right now SM has what it looks like to be 4000+ LIVE models. Whereas MFC has right now 713. The most I have seen on MFC at a time is maybe 12-1400 live models.

    I think SM is saturated? They probably have great traffic, but I wouldn't know because I have never had more than 4 ppl in my room at a time. Seems like I would have to do that site full time for a while, to build a following.

    MFC just works out better for me. I have been making $100 a night surprisingly, considering my cam score is only 1600. I have really pushed myself. I wanted to get on cam tonight, but I am physically tired, and mentally awake.

    I worked all weekend at my reg job. Ugh.

    I agree Sweet Sam. I probably made $20 with SM, and banking more on MFC!

    SM has just been completely dead for a good number of girls for the past month or so.

    As it's been said so many times, each site seems to have different luck for each girl. I just started out on SM & MFC both, and did not like the feel of MFC. I made decent, although inconsistent cash. This weekend I decided to take advantage of my new SM DP account and lo and behold much easier for me to earn money there. I made $200 last night on SM from 10:30pm-3:00am.

    I'm also pregnant, but have been trying to decide when to "expose" myself as pregnant. I just turned 6 months, but I can hide it pretty well as I carry small. My first night on SM I had 3 guys ask...but then realized I had my cam pointed too low while sitting and not "hiding" lol.

    It does take time to get better placement and build some regulars on SM, at least did for me. I'm doing pretty good most of the time. MFC still doesn't work for me, though I try from time to time, lol! dunno why I haven't given up on it.

    It's strange though how some sites work for one person and won't for another, but that's a great reason to try different ones because you will probably find one or two that fit you well!

    Thank you guys so much! I figured SM was strict like MFC especially because they were extremely strict about their paperwork. I'm nervous about that one because half of people seem to say it's dead and half have had good luck on SM. If I do well there, I'll be happy to cut MFC; atleast until I change my last name to my husband's and hopefully can get a new account. We shall see, hopefully they don't search by SS #:/

    Does anyone know how long you stay a new model on SM for?

    Are you sure that nothing is wrong with your cam? Like maybe something loopy is happening and it's causing the guys to leave. A lot of times guys won't even tell u if there's something wrong with your cam. So you might want to check if there is first.

    Also are you using the encoder? This realllllllly makes a difference bc when i don't use it i have no traffic and my placement moves wayyyyy back. Using it (with the correct settings bc if they're not correct then you won't have the HD symbol next to your profile) is a must!

    I actually think SM is really good. I never make less than $30/hr on slow times and I average much more than that an hr....like at least $50 usually. SM, at least for me, is guaranteed money!

    You can try a new model account but i'm not sure if that would make a huge difference but it's worth a try. My traffic has stayed consistent from being a new model to now.

    Good luck and keep trying!

    You are not alone!!!
    When I first joined streamate, I was expecting a room full of chatters like on LIVEJASMIN. Then I come to realize, the max amount of chatters I do have comes to about 10 at once. MIND YOU HALF OF THESE MORONS ARE SITTING IN MY ROOM SILENT. HALF COME AND LEAVE WITHOUT SAYING A WORD, AND THERE IS A WHOLE AVENUE OF PEOPLE JUST STARING AT ME FOR FREE (THAT I CANNOT SELL TO) WHO ARE NOT SIGNED UP WITH THE SITE. This is also a fluke thing, on average about 3 chatters at once.

    I am not a "top model" but I have had my bouts with first page, second row-ing and I didnt make any more money, just had more of the above morons to deal with. ON SM I really do not stirve to be a top model, there isnt much more in it for ME but "more traffic"...and face it, Traffic does not always equal money.

    I too am getting frustrated with streamate. I finally got approved for gold shows, but the novelty has worn off. And the percentage.....it is more then disappointing. I hate to say it but I am considering MFC. They have so many more options then SM. What bothers me about MFC is there is no affiliate program like there is on SM, and of course all of the free shows get to me, but there is plenty of that going on on SM too. It seems very cut throat as well. I just dont have it in me to "compete" or be "better then".....My only competition is myself.

    LOL I am on this site wayyy too early. I dont know what my point is but YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I do not know what to do anymore either. It seems all of these sites have SOMETHING MISSING, you literally have to try 10 to see what one works for you...if you find one at all. SAD BUT TRUE.

    Idk I just bought a new nice camera and I test it out before I go live and it works on MFC so not sure if that's the problem on SM...and no I don't think I used encoder, will definately try that out before I make a new account. MFC for me is guaranteed money but my pay per hour on MFC has dropped from nearly $100/hr (beginning of this year) to $15/hr and for prancing around nude, and pretending to get off for creepy men for hours a day...Idk if it's worth it. I will definately try to get my score up on MFC and I'll see if I can get some more people in my room on SM, if all else fails guess I'm on the hunt for a new camsite. :/

    Thanks for all the help!!!

    Exactly. I'm the opposite. Its just not your site. I do crazy better on MFC compared to SM, though I've been on hiatus from both for a bit while I focus on other sites.
