    Duh Why can I make $$ on cams but not on streamate?

    I have been camming on/off for two years. I troll on here reading the threads, but I rarely ever post. I'm more of a reader. But I was wondering if anyone else is like me. I have tried out a ton of cam sites and made decent on them, but cams has always been my main earner. However, I always read about how good streamate is and how it is the main earner for most people. I have tried streamate and never made a dime. Not only have I never made a dime, I've never even got a paying customer in my room. Granted, I have only spent a few hours on streamate. I can get on cams and immediately have paying custies in the room even if I don't get privates. What gives? Do you have to spend a lot of time on streamate to get custies? I just find it really weird that I've never even had a paying customer in the room. I wanna be a streamate girl too!!!!! lol I'm a BBW, but like I said I do okay on cams if I get my butt on there....here is my cams link. I would show my streamate one, but it kinda sucks right now because I deleted it so I could become a new girl on the site. I'm not an ogre or anything, so I don't know why I can't make it on streamate......

    I am one of those SM girls, SM has been kinder to me than any other site so far. I don't know, different sites work for different girls. Id say give it some time? Cause there's always slow periods and bad luck. Also, make sure you are streaming using the external encoder using the recommended settings-that affects your placement a lot

    Also, if you delete your profile and try and come back it won't turn you into a new girl with newbie status. It just revives your old profile. Some sites work for different people at different times. I used to make bank on SM (as a BBW) but now it's slowed down and I bank on MFC.

    Don't question it, just go with what works for ya.

    It's not just you. Streamate SUCKS ASS now! Earlier in the year, I'd make $30-$70 an hour, no.problem. Now, I'm lucky to make $8-$10 an hour! What the fuck gives, Streamate?! Anyway, I'm going to start on a new site cuz I can't make a living like this. It seems like this has been a problem for a lot of girls lately. Streamate used to be the go-to site for easy money but not any more.

    I honestly believe SM can suck and does suck for people. But Ashlee in another thread just about a week ago you said you only cammed 4 hours a week. Seriously like noone makes a living on 4 hours work per week. If this still applies, then it's a bit of overstatement to say SM sucks ass, based on working 4 hours per week on it.

    I tried cams for hours and made zero. I'm serious, not even a dollar. I also made nothing on CB. I made like 10$ total on MFC.

    But...I made 50$/hour on SM yesterday Different sites work for different people.

    I don't work 4 hours a week regularly, there have been extenuating circumstances in my life. Maybe you shouldn't base your opinion off one statement. I can't stand when girls go through every post someone has ever left just to try to start shit. I see it happening all over this site. Now I remember why I lurked here without posting for so long.

    That being said, I wouldn't give up on SM just yet. I've had slow periods like this before, it's just really easy to get impatient. Camming is all about PATIENCE!

    If you've got enough time to experiment with hours, give it a try. I know some girls on here bank in the morning/afternoon on SM but can't make squat at night, while others do best when it's night time (speaking in US timezones, personally). Like Ashleexsapphire just said, camming is all about patience. You can't really gauge your success on just a few hours, or even a week; it's all about that patience. Camming also all about experimenting and creativity. Experimenting with hours, hustles, clothing, and even fetishes. Write down a list of things you're willing to try that are within your limits/boundaries and put them on your profile (SM is very fetish friendly), find some different outfits (some girls do better in lingerie, some do better in a t-shirt and shorts), and just see if anything sticks.

    Thanks everyone! Makes me feel better. I've just kind of always thought of streamate as the best cam site and I wanted to be able to make it on there! I'll still try it though, but I'll be more thankful that cams works out for me....

    It's not the best cam site. It may be for some girls, but other girls have other "bests". It all depends on you. If you have another site that is working for you then work it to its fullest

    I have a love hate relationship with SM. Sometimes it's decent for me, being at it for only one month, and sometimes I feel like I'm the ugliest duck of the bunch. Today was one such day when I felt like a failure. Cams doesn't look promising because they too want the encoder for HD, and sometimes I just don't want to use the darn thing.

    The past few days have really improved for me on SM.. I keep looking at the other sites but find them intimidating as they are so different. Now tonight could be total bust on SM... one never knows.

    I really don't think SM sucks right now. I've noticed a slower traffic, but I am still able to make my goal if I work through it.
    But yeah what ABigNerd said. Stick to a schedule. I used to get on SM whenever I felt like it, made shit. But once I scheduled myself I was able to build up more regs.
    Also have you been on SM for more then 30 days? The first 30 days, you have new model status.

    This whole game is a crap shoot..

    I don't know what you consider bank but I have the reverse. Cams can't stand ground next to streamate with my goals.
    I hear other girls say the opposite.

    I would stick with the one that makes you the most

    Also, if u can run more than one site at a time, there is always something happening on one site if not the other. Cams has nude option...I will stay in that all day as my sec site.. Leave with easy 100 bc I'm just nude...no toys are required..easy cake in the oven

    ^^ THIS ^^ now it's flooded with models .. A model has to be on top of her shit and shit on top of that shit to make it work. Models made it seem so easy that all it did was attract more models.

    Oh god yes! I worked SM for a few years and now you have to put major work (well for me) into that site to get a gold show. Privates I do not do, I get undressed and they are done, waste of time. I used to kick but on SM, now I can beg for that pledge to come in and they sit in my room, nothing. I get my shows, but hate, hate, hate putting all that work into it anymore. I am tired. Cams.com is just easier. For me anyway. I loved SM. Now, I have this ugh relationship with the site when I sign on. I thought about leaving a few times, I may yet. Now this is me just being lazy I am sure. I just don't dress the way I used to for cam anymore. Or... too many performers now, not sure. Lots of women who put a lot of work into SM. I just can't keep sitting there, doing a cancel on a show only to try and try again. Not anymore.

    A lot of performers have issues making money on Streamate now so don't feel bad. Not sure why but that site has become full of freeloaders.

    I think the only real answer is that every site is slightly different and has a different hustle about it that doesn`t always work for everyone. For me the only sites I have been on are CB and Streamate and while I love the apps and the chatrooms of CB I just don`t make any money on there so I am now a diehard SM fan.

    I just always thought it was odd I've never even had a paying custie in the room on SM. I've worked on Imlive, chaturbate, MFC, cams and live jasmin. Cams has always been my best earner, but I've made $$ on the others...except SM. lol

    SM has been really slow as of lately.. I do blame the holidays tho. Maybe you should try to do goldshows? Before I only did privates and felt my soul being drained by beggers on SM.. now I just do goldshows asking for a "small" amount. I work harder to make the money but I do end up making it. Id rather be exhausted at the end of the night from 10 gold shows than sitting in freechat for 8 hours talking to hobos making $40 IF im lucky.

    You can go ahead and ban me for my outspokenness and "lack of wisdom" but the fact is I started this business, I paved the way for you.. and I'm sitting here watching you destroy it all. Each and every fucking one of you!!!

    The egocentric mods here at stripperweb and the all knowing newbs with "veteran" on their profiles are feeding you all a bunch of FUCKING bullshit!!

    Why are you not making money? In the year 2000 there was not ONE model who was making less than $500 a week and there was 5 times the saturation. THAT WAS 11 years ago! We only charged $2.50

    Why are we telling each other it's ok to chat up the lonely men in our free chat because they keep us looking cheerful during our, "down time" but the fact is the guy who is keeping YOU cheerful would not hesitate to pay you for a $5.99 private 2 hour chat AND he would tip you extra during your private chat for nudity............... which would make you even MORE cheerful for having been paid for it...

    ... those who think it's "good" to dance around topless, catering to "show ass bb"... the performers who flock to sites like chaterbate to show full on hardcore in free chat....

    "tips for tits"... LOL .. pretty contradictory when you sit in guest chat with your tits out for 6 hours... or even the last 2 minutes of your gold show count downs... what about the Colombian girls who are full on spreading lips, showing their uterus and using toys and getting $1 tips in free chat, and the Russian girls who are all topless and absolutely adorable... "hai bebe.. woo air you doong bebe.. "

    If you tease for free, if you support those who tease for free, if you are on a site where you perform for free and accept ONLY TIPS.......... YOU have allowed this industry to completely destroy itself. If you are on sites like Chaterbate, you are destroying the industry. If you contribute to freeloader/voyeur/teen onlooking.. YOU ARE DESTROYING the industry.


    Why can't you get paid?

    Fucking ban me.... of course I'm "wrong"... I've only been in the business 20 years...

    I have only been camming since September 2013 and I have learned in a short period of time that several girls (in other countries) make it hard to make money sometimes because guys are used to seeing vag lips and tits hanging freely in free chat so they come into everyone elses chat room expecting free sh*t. It's frustrating sometimes. Several guys have said 'well other models show pu**y in free chat' and i explain to them that they can take me to privtae or exclusive because it's against the rules. I agree with several of your statements! so true

    For me it's the opposite! I do decent on Streamate but horrible on MFC and i stick on Streamate. For me it's so easy and simple. MFC makes feel like i have A.D.D or some other mental issue cause i feel like there's too much going on and once, and omg every other second there's guys posting banners and smileys and glittery lips and my inbox flashes 1,000,000,000 different notifications. LMAO i can't do it i can't . Maybe i'm just slow. haha. anyway, please try Streamate again i'm sure you'll do well pretty lady!! xox by the way, i'm a BBW also and i'm always looking to make new friends just a hint hint...
