    Default Streamate queries

    Firstly, Hello ... & Secondly, please accept my apologies if this is in the wrong area ..... but I'll just delve straight in so here goes!


    Basically.... I am UK based & do Webcamming on AW & am thinking also about joining Streamate --- however I thought I’d do a little research beforehand & so spent ages looking round this Forum hoping to find the answers to some questions but with little luck so…. thought I’d post them here. The 2 main questions I’d appreciate an answer to are:

    (1) On SM do you HAVE to show your face in your profile photos? - also;
    (2) What is the option, if any, with Freechat on there, i.e., do they have Freechat and if so do you have to do it? (& if so what is the minimum time allowance?)

    Also a few further queries re SM below:



    • Re ‘Service Seekers’ – are the majority of users worldwide? --- for example… on AW when we sign in from the UK the majority of the Service Seekers are also UK based (tho occasionally we get users from abroad/other Countries... just wonder if the Service Seekers on SM are more... universal)
    • Can you really just charge whatever fee you want?
    • Is there a minimum amount you have to earn before they issue a pay out?
    • Is there a set number as in minimum number of hours we have to work?
    • Re: Daily Pay - if you used this (in SM) is it 5% taken off every day?
    • Again re: DP – does it arrive in your bank in Sterling or does it arrive in Dollars and then you have to wait for the bank to do a currency conversion? (or does it arrive in the currency of the country you/your bank account with them is in?)
    • Am I right in assuming you wait up to 3 weeks the FIRST time you are paid/process your payment (similar to AW)
    • In AW we have Group and Private, I take it in SM Premium is the equivalent of Group and Exclusive is the equivalent of Private (Gold and Party I still need to work out!)
    • Does SM allow you to block out areas/countries?
    • Is there an option for Private Galleries etc at SM (just curious)
    Would really appreciate answers to any of the queries above, esp the first two. Many thanks.

    1) No, but in couples accounts you have to (or so I've been told by Streamate support) have both people in the photos. I've never been told or heard that faces pics are needed.
    2) My ex and I saw a few couples that seemed to NEVER be in free chat. He was convinced they didn't use free chat, I was convinced they were just hot. I've heard rumors that you can disable free chat but I've never pursued it. Conclusion: I'm pretty sure free chat is required.

    -The traffic is definitely worldwide for me. Maybe a tad in favor of US, but really just people from all over.
    -Yes! They give you the option of up to $4.99 at first, I think. I recommend asking them to raise your maximum price to $9.99-$14.99 even if you don't plan to go higher than $4.99 at this time.
    -For each payment option there are minimum payouts.
    -DP's 5% isn't taken out "every day". It's that you will see your 30%. When you go see your earnings under SM you will see for example if someone paid $30 in private, you would see $9 in your earnings report. That $9 is your 30% and that 30% already counts DP's cut. So when your monies are loaded, your earnings will reflect what you are paid, DP's cut comes out as you are earning.
    -No idea
    -With DP it didn't take the three weeks. With SM I think they do have a 2-3 week hold. I also think you can ask that hold to be removed to receive your first check earlier.
    -Premium is where more than one user can join. Lots of girls do basic requests first come first serve in Premium, and will keep fetish and shows where you're like screaming the guys name in exclusive. Especially since the guys pay the same price as eachother in Premium it's not fair for two guys to be in there for $4.99/minute and one of them is having their name screamed and the other is all "damn this chick's hot, let's just turn off the audio I guess *sadface*". Exclusive definitely tends to cost more, but some girls do not like Premium chat where guys can go in and out so they price Exclusive lower. Party chat is where all members can see what each other write. Classic chat members can not see what each other write. A gold show is a fixed rate show. EX: $10 minimum buy in for a 10 minute show $100 goal.
    -Yes there is geoblocking.
    -You can have a "fan club" or "gold club" but other than that I don't think there's a "private gallery" option.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply, that helps thank you (& sorry I've taken a while to reply only I was offline for a few days).

    Still wouldn't mind further clarification on a few points, such as freechat, I assume you always have freechat enabled... am sure I read on here somewhere you have the option to have it on or off (but perhaps I mis-read.. don't know)............... also still can't get my head round the Daily Pay... as in the 6% isnt taken every day (you work) - I assumed if you signed up for this feature then to get funds into your bank everyday (days you work I mean.. or day after you work)... then 6% is taken. Sorry to appear so dumb!

    Okay.

    Daily pay is simple.


    You get 30%.


    Don't think beyond that, if it's hard to understand.

    If you are with Streamate you get 35%.




    Streamate: 35% Dailypay: 30%






    As far as I know, you HAVE to use free chat on Streamate.

    Okay, I'll see if I can help you understand. Um.... Dailypay PAYS YOU 30% of total earnings. Streamate pays you 35% of total earnings (Customer pays $1, with SM you get $$0.35, dailypay you get $0.30). That is a 5% difference.

    The bolded above makes it clear you do NOT get 5%.

    Yes as far as I know you do have to use freechat and unlike AW there is no time restriction you can set, so in essence the guys can camp out in your free chat every minute you are online, unless of course you choose to kick them out .

    As above if you worked and was paid directly through SM you receive 35% this is deducted at source so what you see on your earnings statement is exactly what you receive, of course it's in $ and you have to convert it into sterling. I use http://www.expedia.co.uk/daily/resou...ency_converter You will only be able to recieve payment via check in the UK that will be in $, you will be charged by the bank for converting and it can take a little longer to clear.

    With DP you recieve 30% the deductions are made at source so again what it shows on your earnings statement is what you receive, use the above link to convert to sterling. Once on DP you earnings are paid directly into your bank account, in sterling the morning after you have earned it, usually before 1pm.

    Somethng else thats always good to know is due to clocks going forward in the uk, for those months the cut of for us is 1am GBMT so we get an extra hour to earn

    Hope that all helps

    Missy, I'm not trying to jump in and confuse things, but could you explain a bit further about the time change in the UK? I'm US based, but I've made AW my home. I'm glad you brought this up, because I didn't even think about this aspect.

    I'll try lol. In the UK our clocks change twice a year,(it goes back to WW1), anyway in the spring our clocks go forward an hour so 11pm becomes 12am. then in October they go back an hour, 12am reverts back to 11pm. So for me I know that on AW midnight is the cut off time what ever time of the year because midnight is midnight, where as on SM for UK girls cut of is 12am from october through to spring then as our clocks go forward it becomes 1am. I know its confusing esp if you are outside of the UK and Im not really sure if or how it affects you in the States, I guess its just another quaint British custom
