    Search Streamate questions from a newbie

    Hello Ladies! This is my first post here. I started on Streamate recently and have a few questions for you that I couldn't find using the search engine.

    1. I started on streamate 3 weeks ago but have only been online about 20 hours in total because I was still working my vanilla job and wanted to see if I liked camming/could support myself on it. I know my "new girl" status only lasts a month after my first stream, and now I'm in a bit of a panic because I haven't been online that much. I just quit the vanilla job and plan to do a lot of "cramming" before my new girl status runs out. Because I don't have a lot of hours banked, is it going to fuck up my placement when I am no longer new?

    2. I'm using a Mac computer with a built in webcam/mic and my internet isn't super fast (but not terrible either) and I have yet to figure out the hd encoder. I've been wanting to raise my rates a bit but have been hesitant since I'm not hd and I know the computer/gear i'm using is not the greatest for camming. I'm going to buy a new laptop/webcam eventually that I'll use strictly for camming. In the meantime should I not raise my rates? I feel bad charging more when I know I don't have the best quality picture/ect

    Thanks for reading! I love this forum and the info i've gathered here has been really helpful. Looking forward to becoming part of this community of smart and savvy ladies xo

    1. Cramming before your new girl period runs out is a good idea, less because of placement (though that will be improved the more time you spend online!) and more because you'll hopefully pick up some regular customers! Most people see a drop off in traffic and therefore income after the new girl status runs out, but this can be eased if you have some loyal customers providing you regular cash!

    2. This totally depends! What are you charging now? If you're happy with your income as it is and are getting a decent amount of shows, maybe hold off raising them for a bit. If you want to make a bit more, go for it! Charge whatever you're comfortable with- the people who want to see you will pay it regardless of your picture quality. Experiment and see what works best for you.
