    Post Studio "releasing" my streamate profile q

    Hey, so i'm sure this has probably been answered somewhere in the archives, but I scoured the forums for awhile and couldn't find a clear answer..

    Well i'm new to camming since August and I signed up with a studio because I was too broke for even a webcam and I need a room to cam from, which they offered. I didn't do much research and was pretty dumb about the whole thing, wish I found this site earlier.. I'm making 20% to cam from a room with a blow-up mattress and used sheets, etc. They say they pay more for marketing and get better placement, blah blah blah. But after reading these forums I know that's probably not true and they're getting almost half of what I make to spend on stupid shit, lie around all day and who knows what. (ranting, sorry)..

    I'm pretty sure I could talk them into releasing my profile (fingers crossed), but what does that mean? If they "release" my profile, will I still have that same profile but it will be independently mine now? Or does that mean they "released" it just for it to be terminated and I have to start over again?
    I heard all the stuff that sometimes you have to wait a few-6months to be able to start a new profile. I'm not even sure what the contract was, I have to check (shame on me). So yeah, if I get my profile released, can I keep it as my own?

    If on SM and they release you - you start a new profile - if they do not release you then you have to wait 6 months - there is a service called daily pay that is no longer on this site but there is a thread on where to contact them - several ladies here us them but there have been a couple of issues - the owner mislead the members here into thinking he was a she - but many ladies have used them with no issues - Daily Pay seems to be able to get ladies moved out of low percentage studios into their studio for a much lesser percent - i think 5% but you get your money daily - Daily pay will also allow you to leave whenever you want - that said - the other issue was they appear to have accessed ( hacked ) a ladies computer - so proceed with caution --- do you have a place or a way to cam now on your own??

    closing your studio account is different from 'releasing you' from your contract. If you mean you think that they would actually release you from the contract (as in, withdraw any claim on your right to work on the cam site in question) then you may be able to sign up to the site immediately after being released. Like Nikki wrote, what often happens is that chicas who close studio accounts discover that they are unable to sign up to that specific site independently for a period of time, usually 6 months to a year. If your studio releases you, that time period may not apply, which would be fantastic.

    You can't maintain the same profile if you leave your studio and sign up independently. You'd have to close your current account and create an entirely new account/profile. Your regulars will find you, however, so don't let that demoralize you.

    Here's a quote from Roast, our resident studio expert about the options for chicas seeking to leave studios:

    Quote Originally Posted by roast View Post

    a. [waiting game, highest likelihood of success] wait out the remaining months on your contract and then sign up directly. Minimum is 6months for most studios but 1yr is also common. You can work any other site you want while waiting, it just cannot be Streamate.com

    b. [moderate to low likelihood of success as this mostly relies on CS inattention] Request a permanent account closure for your model account Streamate and sign up under a new email address and hope they dont notice (yea, not the best option). I read ages ago someone started a studio account on SM and signed themselves up as a studio model as a way to get out of a previous studio contract but that sounds unnecessarily complicated and I cant confirm it worked.

    c. [] sign up with PrincessJenny's DailyPay service (), click here for details on .

    Via DP your payout percentage will be 30% and youll get paid the next day after you worked, which is not the 35% of an independent performer who gets paid weekly but it is a big leap from Internetmodel ings's meagre 20% with no payout acceleration. There are no contractual waiting periods to leave or join DP, I think the only wait periods are just based on administrative processing. You would have to create a new stage name if you leave. There are many reviews and FAQs about DailyPay (or DP) in SW also if you want to check them out first before using this option. Just search "DailyPay".
    option A would probably not be neccessary if your studio releases you, but check your contract to see what specifics (if any) are detailed

    option B would most likely work for you if your studio does officially release you

    option C is available as an option if your studio refuses to release you and you don't want to wait 6-12 months to sign up independently. You'd earn 30-32% on DP instead of 35% you'd earn as an independent performer. 30% for Daily Pay, and 32% if you choose to be paid weekly

    before making a decision on how to proceed, you need to find out the specifics of your contract with your studio, and if they will release you, allowing you to immediately sign up to the same site on your own.

    for what it's worth, I don't think you were 'dumb' at all. You made a decision based upon your circumstances at the time, and based upon the knowledge you had available. Now that you're in better financial circumstances and have more info, you can make new decisions.

    good luck

    Okay, well that's not so bad, thanks for laying it out so clear. I definitely gotta check out the contract, but i'm hoping if I kindly ask they'll just release me as i've spent a bit of time with them at their home, unless they can pay me at least 30%, but I doubt that.
    Yeah I don't cam at my house because I have 3 roommates, they don't even know I cam and I know they would be pretty weird about it, they're all going to private catholic school lol and someone is usually home.. So i'm not too sure what I was going to do. I was trying to find a room I could pay for daily/weekly and work a lot when I was there and would still probably make more money than giving a studio 15% of 35% like I am. But I don't wanna be in this situation anymore.. I just need to find a legit place to cam from now..

    The vast majority of the time you have to start over again. New name, new email address, etc.

    BUT your old customers or reliable spenders will find you and youll be earning a higher percentage so youll be on the uptick in no time.

    Id strongly suggest you use a different email address and different stage name to sign up when you do restart. If SM emails you to say youre still under contract/you find you are still stuck in the studio (but now virtually stuck) unfortunately the DailyPay service Nikki_Fox is referencing historically cannot (or has a hard time) get ppl released from physical studios... which it sounds like you were in.

    My suggestion would be to use a different email address/stage name to sign up (I keep saying that bc it may flag your name in the system as being under a studio if your studio hasnt released you - and physical studios seem to be the hardest to leave), use different profile pics than your old persona, and just apply normally when you fill out the forms. Dont email sm customer service or model reps asking them to confirm if you were released or ask if your old name is available or alert them in any other way.Just sign up as if youre a new model to SM. Also, dont post your screenname or reference anything about your studio SM persona in public posts on SW. Like if your SW avatar resembles your SM profile pics, dont use that pic to sign up, that kind of thing.

    Sounds strange but that's the advice and overall evidence we've gotten so far on how to transition out.

    Ah, youre still working at the physical studio? Like you go to their building to cam? Do you cam at home at all?

    Hmm. If you need that place to cam and earn a living from camming there, leaving the studio virtually wont be possible until you have your own equipment and space. They take out fees to probably cover the cost of renting their equipment, room, and using their internet . But if youre able to get your own space and equipment - some of our advice still applies.

    Let me know if Im not understanding.

    Yes I go to their apartment to cam, so it is a physical "studio". I figured they charged a bit for internet and using the room, but they have quite a few models working from there and also quite a few working from home. I don't know how much they spend on "marketing" and getting me traffic like they claim, but I think them making $352 off of me in a week, while I get $470 is a little much, considering the money they are making off the other models as well. I might as well take that $352 and find somewhere else to cam where I would feel more comfortable and could work better.. hm, I potentially have a room at a friends house I could use for minimal price.. so I think i'm gonna work on getting released. All I need is the webcam, which I have money for now so that's not an issue anymore. If it doesn't work out I guess i'll try out MFC and some other sites!

    ^Yea if you go to their apartment to cam that's more what I mean by a studio - I agree it is a lot so I hope youre able to find a situation where youre able to earn more from the work youre doing.

    Thanks for posting about your experience btw, we dont get much feedback from people camming from locations not at home (or dorm rooms) - so I appreciate it!

    Good luck on MFC, dont be a stranger

    I did not know it made a difference if was a physical location - thanks for sharing that - my thought was to get out from under the studio with daily and then leave daily at some point - yea lex depending on where you live 1200.00 a month should cover the cost of a place to cam good luck working it all out

    I have heard alot of bad stories about studios like that. I am lucky to be at the place I am now with daily pay. I am in a place where I can't afford to cam at home. So I decided to go to this studio for daily pay. It was a photography studio first, and they decorated all the rooms with different themes for cam girls. Its beautiful and I love it. They offer daily pay to girls, but take 10%. In fact I believe they can get you out of being held under a shitty ass-curtain-blow up mattress-drunken- studio.
    I know alot of you hate studios, but right now this is working for me. =)
