    Depending on whether you're in a studio or not, you should be getting 35% of those rates.

    It's easier to calculate form tips, it is more clear cut, than calculating seconds, so look at your tips, example 10 dollars tip = 3,5 your share or 3, or lower, depending on your earnings percentage

    I signed directly on Streamate but they assigned me to Cammodels.com
    I am admittedly not the best at math

    Ok
    Streamate is Cammodels
    This is not a studio. Cammodels is a program we as models use to refer customers for potential extra income.

    Are you in a diff country? Some countries receive less %

    ^^^ you did sign up under streamate.com?


    This is where it can be tricky.


    when you first signed up, did you email them first? Where did you receive a email from? It Should come from SMSUPPORT
    It says "click here" to become a model?

    SOMETIMES it sends the email to the studio and they send you a sm contract.

    When I get a email, i send them the sm agreement. I have to (not required) inform the model she/he will get 32%.
    The paperwork says streamate but they are signing up under my studio. <-- usually studios will not inform you.

    what you need to do is nicely email support. Ask them what your % is and if it is 32% , what studio are you under? Be nice and clear (SM is a melting pot of languages)
    Sometimes it takes support a week to get back to you.

    ^^ I only get paid 30%. I thought that was normal for Asian models working on SM.

    Could I get a higher percentage if I re-signed up under a studio? If so, how would I go about that? 32% is low, but it's still 2% better than I'm getting right now.

    I originally signed up from the SM site under "become a model", so I'm assuming I signed up directly. Customer service is terrible as it takes a long time to get replies. Perhaps I can get better service under a studio. They haven't even enabled block session on my profile.

    It's not you - it's actually kind of tricky. Unless you have a scientific calculator that can do parenthesis and stuff, you need pen and paper to solve that equation.

    I clicked the "become a model" link. My first emails when I asked how much I would get, I was told 35% so I really did not pay attention and then all of a sudden last fall I realized I was getting less. But then sometimes when I try to check, I get weird percentages. I have emailed SM multi times and get different answers, most saying I am under a studio. I thought cam models was the studio. I have only recieved any extra pay from cam models on a couple of occasions. I tweet the link all the time

    to me
    Congradulations, You now have a model account at streamate.com.

    You can login with your email address here... (http://www.streamatemodels.com)

    If you lost your password. You can reset it here... (http://www.streamatemodels.com/resetpw.php)

    Thank you,
    Streamate Model Support.



    Hello,

    Thank you for your message.

    As an individual performer, you are able to determine your own per minute pricing between .99 and 4.99/min. You earn 35% of what you bill.

    Hope this helps! Let me know if we can be of any further assistance.


    Months later-
    Your account is set to pay out 32%.

    Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Thank You and have a wonderful day/night!


    and still months later -
    Hello,

    The payout of 32% for your account is accurate since your account is part of a studio, regardless of what you think. The account, from the day it was created, has been under the SG Modeling studio. This studio operates slightly differently in that you are still paid directly by Streamate but the fact remains the account is part of this studio and the 32% payout is correct.

    Since the details of your account have been the same since it was created we do not have any additional information to provide on this.

    Streamate Performer Support


    and then -
    [email protected]
    12/7/13

    to me
    Thank you for writing. You are no in a studio. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist with.

    Thanks,

    I gave up at this point...

    Yep, you're under a studio. But hey... 32% is a lot better than what some studios give! Some give as low as 25%!

    Try to look at it this way... its only $3 out of every $100 you make. I wouldn't try to push getting out of it or you could end up having to wait 6 months to a year to sign back up.

    You can tell it's a studio because the original email is from [email protected]sgmodeling .com. If you go to sgmodeling .com it is a studio page.

    Ah... thank you.

    It just sucks because I used the SM link on directly on the SM site.
