    I've been forcing myself not post in here lol but this week is sucking major for me. Sunday and Monday were great and then all of a sudden it tanked. I know its the beginning of the month but this has to be my worst week ever. I've been working late nights, mornings, an evenings an I'm still no where near my goal. I haven't be able to make $100 in 1 shift since Monday SMH and FML.

    Yesterday was really quiet, if not for a 40min pvt with a reg I woulda been scraping together pennies. As it was I pushed through to 100 bucks and then tapped out.

    SM really was a piece of shit last night. Luckily, I decided to bust out and give MFC a proper try, ended up making some actual money and still made my minimum goal for the day

    Take some deep breaths. Pop a tylenol. Put on some calm music that makes you happy and make yourself a cup of tea(herbal if your headaches are sensitive to caffeine).

    It'll be ok.

    I was on page 2 yesterday and actually did just as well as I do when I am on page 1. I can honestly say if you have a strong regular following it doesn't matter what page you are on especially because viewers often search for specifics. You might be on page 2 or 3 or 4 while searching the main page but in the subcategories you are probably on page 1 which is just as good and often even better because it's more specialized traffic and they are looking for you specifically. I can't say I would stay on 12 hours to make $200 though. That's pretty brutal and I admire your tenacity. Did you take breaks or were you on for a straight 12 hours?

    Also, please don't be swayed by people telling you they make X amount of dollars in X amount of time. Often times people are not as successful as they want you to believe and others are more successful than they want to let on. We ALL know dollar amounts per 1 hour is never the same. One day you can make $200/hr and another day only average $25/hr. When I look at my over all income and divide it by hours spent on cam it really only averages out to be $25 to $45/hr in spite of my $200/hr days.

    My page keeps failing to load properly, it's only on SW. Not sure what my problem is. I'm using Firefox. Anyway I got cut off before I could finish saying what I wanted to say in my post.

    I am a page 1 performer, frequently bumped to the top page 2 during peek hours. I am not the most successful performer by way of total $$ earned. I am well aware there are probably many girls on the pages behind me that make more than I do. I think the reason SM bumps me forward is because of my ratio of time spent on cam to the amount amount earned and not because I am raking it in for them. Also, as all of us are, I am unique and set myself apart from other performers. My shows are not mainstream hardcore, I don't poke or gape my holes, I'm not the prettiest and certainly do not have the best body type as defined by mainstream media. I may be wrong but I think SM is just optimizing their own sites potential by offering diversity.

    I'd love to think I am a "top model" but I think HD, audio, phone and all of the bells and whistles can only bring you so far. I honestly think it's about who you are as a performer in the end. I'm probably wrong but I would like to believe it for my own sanity.

    They may not have told you, but you may have been laggy tonight. Few others were complaining (encoder and non) that SM was having some serious issues server-side.

    I would point out that, with each passing day now, ManWin owned tube sites are redirecting 'feeder' links away from SM.

    ...which is a good thing IMHO. I have never been a fan of tube traffic. Tube traffic to me means we're inheriting guys who are surfing for free porn and not looking to spend.

    Streamate is pursuing other forms of advertising. If (Manwin) Streamate intended to just let traffic trail off I don't think they would have spent so much money on digital television. I'm sure they are also persuing other methods but I haven't researched anything so I can't speak with 100% accuracy on their efforts. I do know I am still seeing commercials on television though.

    Last night I made $200 in 3 hours. The night before I made $90 in 2 hours. Tomorrow I may get lucky and make $200/hr or have an epic fail and make $8/hr. The traffic is there. It's just as unpredictable as it always was, it's being spread out thinner and thinner due to an outrageous growth rate of defectors of other sites, fresh faces and college girls who are working on next semesters' tuition. Someone mentioned the other day seeing top models on page 2 and I believe this is why. Add to the equation that turnovers are inevitable and if you don't continue to reinvent yourself in some way, shape or form, and recognize there is a change in traffic then you are bound to feel the summer slugs a bit harder than someone who is paying attention to the trends. A perfect response to this thread is the one where performers are identifying who their traffic is. It's this kind of awareness that brings success.

    Just my opinion and hopefully not misinterpreted as a challenge to anyone's intelligence.

    ^^^ you make a valid point ... with Manwin cutting off tube site link 'trades', that SM is now having to spend 'cash money' to attract traffic from other sources ... including TV commercials. What isn't really known is the relative number of new 'customers' coming to SM as a result of that paid advertising, versus the number of customers no longer coming to SM from tube sites ... as well as the relative 'spending habits' of those new customers ... as well as the 'preferences' of those new customers.

    The larger point is that, on top of the seasonal issues ... like college girls having more time to spend on cam, while college guys have fewer opportunities for 'private' cam viewing ... or married customers having kids out of school, summer vacations etc. ... is that SM's basic business model has recently been forcibly changed by ManWin.

    The television commercial url is streamates.tv or some sort of variation of that. When I ask my new guys how they found the site they will say something like, "a friend told me about it" (a differentiation from the guy who will say, "oh I dunno, I just clicked something"). The TV commercial brings in the stereotypical, college educated, Republican, spendy type. I was watching a documentary when it came on. Pretty darn smart if you ask me.

    The thing about that though is not all girls are going to benefit from this type of consumer for obvious reasons one of which being they have very distinct preferences.
