    Default What am I doing wrong?

    Hello!

    I've logged on to SM a couple times this week and no one enters my room. I'm using the encoder too, and I've watched myself and I lag, but I don't freeze. And when I look at the SM main page, I go back tens of pages and I can't find myself. Plus there's categories I think I should be in (Big boobs) but I don't know how to apply to them. Any help you can offer, ladies? I'm Alice Cheshire.

    Thanks!

    That's odd! Have you try contacting SM support team?

    Lag can be caused because you are streaming, if you watch yourself then on the same computer the delay can be in that.
    If you have blocked some countries you cannot find yourself back anymore, same happened to me, I unblocked and was back on the first page again.

    Sorry that you're having trouble. I don't use the encoder, but I have been seeing several threads about how unreliable it can be at times. Out of curiosity, are you running any programs in the background (youtube, facebook)? If so, this could be a reason for the lag. Try running without the encoder and see if anyone pops into your room. As far as what category you're in, I think the information that you put in your profile automatically puts you in whatever category. I wear a 32H bra, but because I put in "h," I am listed in the "huge boobs" category. Honestly, I don't think my boobs are "huge," and even customers have agreed with me too. I'm sure if you contacted support and told them that you would like to be put in the "big boobs" category, they would change it. While waiting for support to contact you, you can put in the area under your picture, "Big 34DD Boobs" or something to attract them.

    Hope this helps and happy camming! :-)

    I use the encoder. The lag is 10 secs. That is normal. I have only had ONE crash in the ONE year I have been using it and that was my fault. Power was not plugged in. Start using the encoder, it will up your placement. If you are just using the HD drop down you will not place good, and you are not really HD according to sm.

    When I first used it I kept shows short..started out w 5 mins, 7 mins and 10 mins. I get bored after a 10 min gold show. Make sure all settings are are correct, if one is wrong it will fuck you up. Once it is set and save then you are good to go.

    make sure your specs on pc are good and you have a decent upload speed.

    DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THE ENCODER....I will not work with out it.

    I think what the OP is saying is that she thinks she's not being listed on the site b/c not a single customer is entering her room. If I'm wrong, OP, please correct me so we can try to help.

    It might be that your placement is so bad right now b/c you're new and for other reasons, that you just can't find yourself on the front pages. However, I thought SM placed new models higher for a while.

    As for being listed in certain categories, I thought the site did that automatically for you when you enter your bio info. So if you are listing yourself as a busty lady (whatever cup size they consider that to be), then it will list you in that category. I have noticed that some women are clueless as to their cup size. I've seen women list themselves as D who are obviously E or F, etc. If you list yourself as blonde, you should be searchable as a blonde. I've never had to ask them to put me in categories.

    As for your lag, it might be that you're watching yourself on the same computer you're streaming from. But I'm not sure that would make a difference. One is upload and one is download. It might be taxing on your computer tho. And a little bit of lag is natural. It takes a while for information to be transmitted.

    Search for yourself on the main page (in the search box). Do you see yourself? If not, try to google yourself. You should show up. If not, you probably have a geo-restriction? But you would have to put that on by yourself; they don't do it for you. If you can find yourself on the main page (you're searchable), then you probably just have really bad placement. Don't worry, it will get better. But if you have a friend you trust, you might ask that person to try to find you and take you private for a second just to see if they can.

    I wouldn't stress out too much about a little lag - besides, if that was affecting traffic, you would be seeing people come in and then leave very quickly, rather than no one coming in AT ALL.

    Are you geo-blocking? If that is the case, then you will have to un-block to see yourself. I would recommend it, even just for a day or two till you get this sorted out, so that you can see yourself.

    Log on, and slowly scroll through the pages to find yourself. Make sure that you are actually streaming, not paused or logged out - the pause button throws you to the back of the pile. And go through the site very, very carefully. Its easy to miss yourself when scrolling through a bunch of pages, because often the screenshot that shows up is a weird angle, or doesn't show your face, and you miss it.

    There's usually less than 20 pages of online models at any one time, so you shouldn't be going through "tens of pages" to find yourself - you would run out of online models!! If you are going through pages while offline, you probably would have to go through a LOT to get to you, especially if you are new and having issues. Look while you are online, using another computer (or I use my iPhone).

    For the record - your profile IS showing up when searched - I checked for you. So you should be showing up....

    You probably just don't have great placement yet - log on for at least 2 hours at a time - it takes time for guys to find you at first, and you want to use that "new model" tag to your advantage. Good luck!

    This is off subject, but I really like your name.

    Good luck getting the encoder to work.

    Thank you all ladies for your help!

    I've been using the encoder the whole time. I have my bra size listed as DDD/F so I really don't why why am I not on the big boobs category! And I haven't blocked any countries O_o
    I've figured out some things, though. I wasn't noticing when the stills that show on the website while I'm online were taken so I was getting very unflattering pictures. The timer for the still is that 3-2-1 thing on the upper right corner, right? I've noticed a lot of models on the first page just have pictures of their boobs or ass there. Should I point the camera at my boobs when the timer goes off? Are customers more attracted to some boobs with no face attached?
    Also my walls are lime green and I think that gives an unflattering tint to my skin color. I can't paint the walls, but maybe I can pin something to the wall to change the color, posters or something. Is there any color that's best for that? I think I really need to redo the whole room setup because the sitting on bed thing isn't very comfortable. I'll use the search function, I'm sure there's a thread on room setups somewhere.

    Thank again for your help! I'll keep trying, I'm sure there's a niche for me somewhere.

    If you would like to keep your picture set as your bio pic and not have it change to random shots through out your free chat broadcast you can contact support and ask them to keep your bio pic rather than have all these weird pics show up as the first thing customers see lol.

    Hello again, ladies! I think I know what the problem is. I'm on page 14 right now! So since someof you said staying logged on for hours at a time helps with placement, I'm just keeping the cam pointed at my boobs (so any stupid faces I might make don't show on random shots) and doing my own thing for a while.
