    OMG So called my phone company... And got told that my speed results were normal and were very good and high!! And that maybe it was my computer, I was like then way does my phone or xbox act slow or lose connection sometimes. She was like well there are reported outages in your area and they are working on it. YAY for getting the run around. I already pay over 70 a month for phone and internet but I guess I will ask when I go pay my bill about upgrading if its too much eff them we have cable internet here too.

    Lilbellea - what upload speed does your current internet package supply? There are different tiers, and so the phone company may have simply been saying that for your package, your upload speed was high. Have a look at the different tiers available - unfortunately, I have found that because most people only download, you have to go to much more expensive packages to get decent upload speeds. 2-4 is what I would consider necessary. There is no way for the phone company to fix the problem if the issue is that you are not recieving the most appropriate package for you.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    They have a 3 mbps, 6 mbps and a 12 mbps. I thought I had the 6 but the lady told me yesterday I only had the 3 don't know what happened there. I checked online and if I'm reading it right I can upgrade to the 12 for only $5 more a month. I'm going to check on it either today or tomorrow and see.

    Just out of curiosity here...

    When I first started on SM I was making over $30 an hour and was for quite a while. Well I wanted to dabble with MFC and other sites so I stopped working SM for a few months. Now it's dead for me.....I'll be honest I can't get myself (at the moment) to work more than an hour when I make $0.

    Is it best to just set up a time for like 4 hours...and stay on regardless? Even if it's slow the first couple of hours? I mean 4 hours consistently of course

    Thanks!

    If you stopped working for a few months shouldn't you be making money or more when you decided to cam again? I just feel that since you took sometimes off, now you're like a novelty, a fresh face so more guys want to see you. I could be wrong.

    So I got my internet fixed and now my results are download 12.49 and upload is still 0.63 idk how to fix my upload speed. I upgraded to the highest package my internet company has and my internet is way faster but my upload speed didn't change at all. They even came out and checked the line and gave me a new box.

    It could be something as simple as the actual wiring in your building/neighborhood. Not all wires are created equal, and you may want to note that more than likely, the speeds they quote you were "up to ___ Mbps". The "up to" is the key phrase that almost all internet providers use because there are so many factors beyond their control without tearing up your street and replacing all the wiring leading to your house/building/etc.

    Hell, it could very well be your distance from the nearest hub. The longer your signal has to travel to get to their buildings, the more it's going to lose strength and speed.

    (I really hope I put that well-enough into 'normal people' speech @[email protected] )

    Ok 12 MB of download speed...but that package what upload speed does it offers??? ISP should tell you the download and upload speed of that package, maybe they're offering 1MB upload speed with the 12MB package??? or 512 kbps of upload speed???. I have download of 7MB and upload 1MB and I'm at SM and when I test my net speed it says I have 0.98 of upload, I try to use HD on SM but members already told me it does delay a little bit, I haven't have luck on SM I must say, i only have 3 weeks there and I'm kinda dissapointed so I dont login too often since is like dead for me, I'm charging 2.04 premium and 2.59 for exclusive, I know is not high but since some members already told me that my broadcast is not clear and fast...I will give SM a try, but it dissapoint me when I have 1 hour there and had only make like $10 bucks...

    But I will start to use the HD Encoder just to see if traffic and earnings gets better for me there...will raise my price to $2.49 premium since I'm new, but with the Encoder I wouldn't be able to split with other places so that's why I will put my price at 2.49 and stay online at least 3 hours a day, wish me luck >.< I will need it.

    Step 1: Raise your rates

    Step 2: Turn on your cam

    Step 3: Don't turn off your cam

    There have been times when I've made 3 bucks in an hour. It happens. Accept it and move the hell on.

    I raise it now to $2.49 premium and $2.99 exclusive, I havent never use the HD Encoder, because I splitcam, but I'm gona use the HD Encoder since tomorrow and wont split while on SM, do you girls recommend to use the HD Encoder??? Cause I use directly the HD option on 'Quality' from SM site. About the rates, i dont have regulars I'm barely new, I increase it to $2.49 premium and $2.99 exclusive, do you girls thing this is ok??? for starting??? I charge $1.99 at LJ but I'm on Non-Nude there, here on SM is different and I have to do nudes shows and masturbation.

    Alot of the chicas who work sm say that using the encoder helps you get higher placement on the pages of the site, so I'd at least try using the encoder for a bit...you can always switch back to non-encoder if you need/want to at a later point.
    Regarding your rates, honestly, $2.49/$2.99 seems REALLY low for a big box site like sm. Look at it this way...there's a chica on sm who is a KNOWN recording, as in, her feedback STATES that she's a known recording, and she apparently charges $4.99, and has actual customers. Granted, she's kinda hot, but your avatar pic is way hotter

    Honestly, I think you answered your own question yourself...if you're getting nekkid and playing with yourself on cam, you should be getting paid well for it. There's a world of free porn out there, but guys visit cam-chicas like us cuz they want a personal experience...that has alot of value and don't ever underestimate that.
    In general, the higher your prices, the fewer minute-men you'll have to deal with, and the more you'll make for each individual show you do.
    Raise your prices now, at LEAST into the $3.99/$4.99 range before you get a base of regulars. There's enough guys on sm who will realize the value of what you have to offer than you don't need to cater to cheap-asses

    My download speed is above what it should be because before they left they had me do a speed test and he was like WTF you shouldn't pull that high of a download speed, you should only pull 80% of what we quote it to be which is the 12. So mine is above what I am paying for. He was like well since the switch is on your pole and just like 25 ft if that far from your house I'm not going to say anything because you are the first person coming off the switch. Everything I can find online says that is what there upload speed is which kinda pisses me off, that is the only reason I upgraded but I guess it doesn't matter what package you have with them because the upload stays the same and only their download speeds change. GRRRRRR

    Ohhhh thanks loveshooks for finding out my avatar pretty ^.^ I increase my charge to 3.99 premium and 4.99 exclusive, I'm gona start to use the HD Encoder too, since I have never use it before. I'm a little scared but, I'm gona stay in that price 1 week and see what happens.....

    Lillbellea, I'm having the same problem as you...here in this city where I am the highest upload speed my ISP or any ISP provides is 1MB >.< which sucks!!! they do offer plenty of high download packages, but unfortunately for me...the highest upload package they offer is 1MB, I once ask them don't you have a package of at least 2MB upload speed? and they answer like 'why you want so high upload speed?? nobody uses that...but we have 30MB of download =D' and I just said NO thanks, i dont want more download I want more upload!!. I will be soon moving to another city, and in that city they do offer packages of 2MB, 3MB and 4MB upload speed =) so maybe I will be buying a better package there, cause right now I only have 1MB and it sucks...even if I can still use HD with this little speed, it has a few seconds delay on my broadcast and I want all to be as clear as possible.

    I don't know if it was just the way I felt today or what. I had a lot of beggars coming in and out of my room and I couldn't keep anyone talking to me for longer than a minute or two. I started on MFC so I was a little taken aback.

    What do you mean you are taking a few weeks break? Like you made enough money to be able to take a few weeks off?

    What is MFC? Camming is a my side job. I do hair for a living so I usually only cam on weeks when I'm slow at hair. I cannot imagine having to do camming full time

    Ah ok, MFC is MyFreeCams, another Cam site.

    My goal is to quit my job to be able to cam.....There's better possibility for making money and less stress on my body...plus I can make my own hours....so camming full time doesn't seem so bad to me, lol

    I highly recommend cosmetology school if you have a passion for it! Camming helps me when I'm running a bit short. I'm also Transgender so it's like a novelty, lol.

    HA let them ask me why I want a higher upload speed, I'll be like cause I do porn in my house and you all are really pissing my customers the hell off. It's really hard for them to jack off if I keep lagging!!! What are they really going to say back to me? My mom knows I'm camming, the only one who doesn't is my boyfriend and he doesn't pay the phone bill so. And as far as the cable company goes it sucks just as bad and it goes out and stays out for days around here. At least with the phone company the most it has ever went out in the 13 years or so we have had it is just a few hours.
