    Duh And Now a Petition

    So I just received this in my inbox on Twitter asking me to sign.

    http://

    Link for the petition is http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/c...reamate-models

    Of course I am not signing it. Im not even really sure what its trying to achieve here? "Fix the glitches"??? I'm sure that has already occurred to Streamate! And "Stop bringing traffic from dating sites"?? What?!?!?! Its Traffic!!!

    Thoughts?

    As much as I complain about those dating sites, I can convert them into paying traffic.


    The glitches have been fixed. If anything this should be directed to the affiliates, since it's THEIR job to bring the traffic.

    What's going to happen when we demand all these changes? (more traffic...better support) Reality is that shit cost money... I don't want them taking an extra 5% out of my paycheck, that's for sure!

    Been on streamate since 2004. 35% was my pay then and still is now. Yes I've made money from my affiliate links over the years. but getting traffic is the most extreme difficult thing in the world.

    These cam sites are doing a juggling act. finding models, traffic, affiliates, billing,protect the site from hackers, then host and smoochez at internet porn parties and conventions. this juggling act that these sites are doing is why we are getting the cut we are getting. if we were to go out on our own we would have to figure out how to do all those things by ourselves.

    Billing companies already think adult websites and adult services are high risk which is there fancy way of saying they don't to give us our dirty sex money.

    These dating sites giving us the most traffic are pretty much everyone bread and butter, its our job to convert that traffic into cash. doesn't matter if its some lonely guy thinking he can meet us. we basically have to be the best CATFISH professionals out there and bring in the sales.

    we log on , work hard, log off, life to work another day.

    I'm still not understanding the petition...the only time you pay for the traffic that is brought to you is when you do a show. That means, by definition, it is good paying traffic that you just paid for. You aren't paying a penny out of your income for traffic that doesn't convert for you specifically.

    These petitions like this will be ignored because the logic behind them is fundamentally flawed. You can ask SM to tighten the rules on affiliates so their traffic isn't so annoying, but this doesn't affect your bottom line at all. Getting more traffic than now would mean SM needs to sweeten the pot for the affiliates and traffic drivers...this would further come out of the model's percent. Right now its 35:35 for model/affiliate cut give or take. Would you make more money if your cut was 30 and the affiliate got 40 or vice versa?

    ^^^ Same here, that's why i stay with SM because they protect themselves & us against CB's & even the cut is lower i dont worry about my money like i worried while working other sites in the past. I said in another post 20 to 25% of my income on other sites was lost due to CB's. Not cool! What i want from SM is to stop discrimination, favoritism & nationalism but about the pay, i know they will not increase it for everyone, it's just not doable, would be ideal but we need to be realistic.
    Also for the cut they keep i want them to do all the work for me lol, i dont care how they do it, i just care to have traffic so i can make money off it. When i am done camming for the night i wanna log off & rest, i wanna take care of my other things in life & not worry about marketing lol, if i wanted to sit more at the pc marketing & to damage my eyes and back even more i would have worked indy not SM & get to keep a higher cut.

    I personally want ZERO chargebacks (I don't give a shit, it's stealing, they're WRONG!) and MORE money. I bet if people make enough noise for independent contractors laws to be changed, we can get things moving. At least 50% on ALL sites. 50% is fair. Period.
