    Dizzy New girl on SM and need some advice from vets.

    I've spent hours sorting through forum posts. I'm pretty good with using the search function on forums considering I know how to install the database and edit the php code to get one up and running. (Sorry I just peacocked at 9am).

    It's hard unless someone worded something the same way you would. The stream mate thread was pretty helpfull but I still have some questions. Also some general questions as well. So I'll get to it.

    1. Do guys always just jump out of paid chat when finished? I've honestly only had 1 or 2 that said "I ____ so hard 5 stars" before jumping out. Seems pretty normal but in the SM thread someone said "don't get offended if they do" as if it's not common. It seems uncommon that would say anything. I think 80% of guys would just jump out when done instead of paying a couple bucks to compliment you. Sounds bad but hey it's money.

    2. I signed up for my account awhile ago but didn't start using it until recently. I installed the encoder for better placement and my traffic is good and I'm really hoping it's because I don't have some sort of "new girl" tag. My current rating is above 4 stars. My traffic won't dip in a week or two right?

    3. What are your best moves in guest chat to get a guy into exclusive or paid? If the show isn't exclusive, is there anything I should be mindful of? As soon as I drop my top in paid I start thinking of all the different things I've heard you girls say about "the voyeurs getting it for free for 3 minutes". Is that what's going on?

    ANY tips or advice specific to streamate would be helpful. There seems to be allot that wasn't covered in previous threads and the main one. I have a ton more and may add some as the day goes on. I will definatley post something helpful in return for all your wonderful advice. Thanks in advance!

    Have a $good$ day ladies /wave

    Hey there!

    1.) Yes. when guys are in paid per minute chat- they will just cum and get out without saying anything. It's rude- but most men are cheap and cannot even waste that $1 saying good-bye. You are very right there... it's much *less* common for them to say 'good-bye' at the end of chat.. but I've had a lot of guys log out once they nut and them come into free chat after like 'thanks bb, it was so good'

    2.) Streamate doesn't have the new girl tag like MFC does. So no, as long as your shows are good and you stay consistent- your earnings won't take a dip through any fault of your own.

    3.) Teasing. Either they will or won't bite. There are a lot of threads here about how girls use different tactics - but really, just be polite as possible and most (paying) guys will bite. I'm not sure about the 3 minute thing- haven't heard of that- I know that when you go into just premium chat - there will be a lot of guys just hopping in and out getting their 30 sec. preview... I always set my exclusive rate LOWER than my premium because of this.

    Feel free to ask more questions- I know it's hard to do a thread search for *everything* Good luck!

    Don't price yourself too low. Start where you think you ought to be, and if you get no traffic THEN lower it slightly. Their % is so low, don't undersell yourself. Guys WILL pay more.

    Sorry Caz don't mean to hijsack your thread but when I saw the title New girl on SM and need some advice from vets. I thought you had been asked to perform something with animals Dunno whats up with me today but everything I see is making me giggle

    Oh I can help a little with question 1: I think it's fair to say that every guy is different. I get guys that just leave when they're done, some say thx, some leaves kisses and now and then I'll get one that likes to chat for a bit afterwards. I don't work on SM but I think that particular question is probably generic to all camming.

    the abrupt ending can be a lil disconcerting at first, but you'll get used to it. I only do pre-booked shows, where a guy has paid for a block of time before we get on cam, and still I'd say 20% of them just log off after they cum, no good-bye...I mean, it doesn't even cost them anything, they've already paid for the time! Look at it like you've fulfilled your part of the interaction, not as an insult (though no lie, it's still a lil rude )
    It's not a reflection of the quality of your show, and it doesn't mean they didn't have a wicked time.
    In regards to maintaining your traffic, I've found a really good gauge of your $$$ expectations for the near future is the amount of returning paying customers you have. Use your 'newness' on any site (some regular visitors to sm will recognize that you're new, even without a 'new girl' tag) as a way to make a hella hot, positive impression on every guy who does spend, and they'll return. Do that consistently, and you'll always be making new regulars New traffic is vital, but so are regs, even semi-regs.
    Also, recognize that a guy either will spend or he won't. BlankStare is 1000% right, and this applies to most sites, imho. Don't twist yourself into knots trying to convert a cutomer. The best guys, and your best regs, will value your time. As should you
    peace and $$$$$

    Thanks so much ladies. The advice is greatly appreciated. I'm liking SM so far. I'm SO glad my traffic won't dip. The encoder is laggy and I think once I get a dual proccesor things will pick up even more. For now I'm happy but I may kick up my rate and see if my traffic dips... I'm sure it will a little but it will be worth it. I'm set at the standard for now. They take a large chunck but the fact that they have awesome traffic and allot of paying clients makes up for most of it.

    You can also email SM and ask them to set your prices higher. Within about a day you'll then be able to up them past 4.99. When i started i actually set it to 9.99 and guys paid.. not loads, but enough to make it worthwhile. Just see how you go x

    Streamate does not have a new girl tag, but it does have a NEW models page that you will appear on. I am sure not all, but I notice alot of new girls get first page placement for the time they are in "new girl status" once new girl status wears off they no longer get better placement

    Is there a way y ou can set up your account to accept block sessions ONLY? I would love this, sure I would miss out on 75% worth of my shows but I am sooo tired of the minute men who come into my room lol. I would give them all up to be able to do this. Please let me know...Learn something new about SM every day lol.

    Yeah - its pretty normal for guys to just cum and then leave asap...that extra three-four dollars just to thank you? Nope. Ive noticed that some guys will leave private and then hang about in free in order to compliment me after a show...which can be great (other guys hear that I am fantastic and want to take me!) or just frustrating when they are hanging around and I want to just say "look, buddy, I got your rocks off, i'd love it if you you came back and did it again, but unless you are paying me, I'm done talking to you. kthxb".

    Your traffic shouldn't drop because of a status (although, you will not longer be searchable as "new" so the guys that specialize in the new girls won't be in your room so much. No biggie, most of them are the guys who want to take advantage of you not knowing any better.)

    And to get guys to private? Be nice, be engaging...don't seem bored and money-hungry...try to seem bubbly and happy and like you want to be there. The voyeur thing is (I believe) the 30 sec preview in free chat.

    And no, I don't think that you could set to a block session...but I don't think it would work out better for you in the end, as a lot of guys are not willing to book block sessions without ever having a "regular" session with you to see if they like it.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    I don't believe so...I don't use sm, I was just adding my experience to demonstrate that the 'cum and go' guys aren't even neccessarily cheap and/or didn't enjoy the show (even some of regular visitors habitually do this) It's just something some guys feel compelled to do
    I feel ya though, I would totally use sm if that were a viable option

    The one and only most simple most easy most convenient and self explanatory advice I can give is : go check out the other models/top models.
    This goes for the free chat time..

    as far as privates/exclusives go: just be sweet and ... willing.
    its that easy.

    I've had the same experience with guys just jumping out of private. Maybe 1 in 20 will say thx. They get 30 seconds free in private. Since I would never be able to remember all of the guys I give shows to I will actually do a small note for each one with how long, any kinks, name and location if given and if they rated me. This way I know as soon as they come in that I've given them a show before.
