soooooo Ive missed this whole week, has it been shitty? im in the top spot in my category and have had 2 dudes even pop in my room in my first 25 minutes on.....has it been like this all week?


I’ve only been online a little this week, like 5-6 hrs, but each time I was on I got a pretty decent amount of traffic and averaged about half the time in paid chat. I have no clue what my placement is like, but this past week was ok for me from what little I saw. There’s a contest starting in a matter of hours though.





I’m having the placement glitch again, can’t find myself looked all the way back to page 10, also NO ONE IS TALKING
I hate SM today





^^Me too, I haven't had any problems for days and then it happened out of the blue today. It fixed itself in a couple minutes though.
Yay! So happy to hear that, Miss_Shasha! C4S is great and definitely worth putting the time & effort into. Those sales can be a lifesaver when camming is slow.





well done!!! I cant seem to crack the clip game too well - I did ok uploading daily but nothing special - probably due to my equipment or something lol!
if you're on one clip site, it's totally worth joining others to! IWC, MV, NF and maybe ELM (the last one has cheap clients but I do make the odd sale sometimes) are all worth it![]()





^^Thanks! Great idea & I'm getting back on NF too![]()

NF has a pulse / heartbeat for me againno t like before but improving

Wow, I have never had a worse week on streamate than this. I'm making maybe 20% of what I make in a normal week. The traffic doesn't seem lower than usual but nobody is spending any kind of money. Lots more "what will you do to me in private?" guys than usual. Even regs just taking a look at me and leaving...
I am serious when I am saying that I have NEVER experienced a week on Streamate as bad as this. I'm used to working harder sometimes than other times because I know that if I stay on long enough eventually my hourly will even out, but not this week. Sometimes I sit online for hours and make like one dollar. I think I've only had one or two shows longer than two minutes all week. Thank God for skype shows.




Its been glitchy today. I had a really weird placement issue this morning for a good few hours page 6 not one and connect wasn't working. Its a big contest so they are bound to be doing something. I'm staying on for the bonus. I had a really good day Monday average yesterday today not awesome but there are bits and bobs to be had. Its quite right when you feel rubbish walk away. I do small shifts of two hours at a time. Once your head isn't in it you are wasting your time.

That is ALWAYS true for me. Not to mention it kills me if I try to stay on when I am not able to stay focused anymore. Great advice!





I've streamed almost 3.5 hrs total and had to literally take breaks like every 45 min as it's soooooo slow. I was so frustrated on one break I meditated for 30 min. I've embraced this week is going to just be bad for sales, so I'm completing my hrs and happy the C4S studio I've uploaded to recently has me up to $116 in sales. That helps avg out this lousy week on cam.
But yes...it's been dismal. I'm keeping my vibration up still however which is rad with how unfortunate the traffic has been.

I normally don't complain. I believe traffic and earnings will balance during a week. But man, this week I've been pulling teeth. So hard to stay giggly when I get bored. They refuse any sort of interaction. 15 people in the room and nobody talking?! Pass me a drink.
But know you are not alone, I'm currently sitting in top 20 and trust me, everybody around me have had a hard time and lower than usual earnings, including myself.
It's going to get better! It must. I refuse a different scenario for next week. Cheers for a busy weekend!
I'm at #43 in the contest right now, trying to bust out whatever I can before todays pay period ends so I can hopefully place in the top 50 but OMG. This is so rough. Are days always like this???? If not mind numbingly slow I just have the most disrespectful time wasting freeloaders. Ugh I'm trying to hang on. 3 more hours. UGH.
EDIT: Now I'm at #39, on like the 5th row and there is ZERO traffic. Zero. WTF is even going on.

This week my expenses to get on cam were higher than income, i mean my make up, internet and electricity costs me more than what i made but u know what?!
This all shall pass and tomorrow is another day, then another week and we got to carry on.
All the best everyone, the ones scoring big this week and the ones struggling, we all live under the same sky!

I've been doing better than usual on SM this week, but smconnect is super bumming me out. I stream with a gh5 lumix and the new broadcaster refuses to play nicely with my camera, stretching the resolution out etc, it works great in OBS but I'm unclear if using obs will forfeit the placement boost for using smconnect so I've just been using my old webcam. Had a lot of audio glitches this week too but they seem to have been fixed for now...





I have had audio glitches for two days never had them before
Fuck you SM - almost three hours of sitting with guys bouncing in and out of my room and telling me I sound like a smurf/robot/minnie mouse or no audio at all -Numerous times I restarted - plugged - unplugged - cleared - closed - held my ass to the moon and nothing worked - i give up...................

^^Audio issues had me sitting in free for almost 4 hrs Monday. Nothing. & not a soul said a thing until a sweet reg said he couldn't hear me. Wasted all that time. It was frustrating![]()

Can someone please explain to me this new Show Status bar at the top of SMconnect? Does anyone who works on SM not know when they are online or not? Why waste time adding something so utterly useless instead of adding phone back to SMconnect? Sm's priorities need to be rethought.





^^ Exactly.
I lost a show from a reg yesterday, because he wanted phone, and SM connect didn't have the option.
Two things that I noticed they were working on during the contest are:
1). Now the gold show can be stopped mid show by simply pressing the stop stream button. ( Used to have to press the tab button.)
Edit to add. Now there's a gold stripe appearing at the top of my chat when I start a gold show.
2) The earnings page has a notice saying after the 25th, it will be phased out, and replaced by the new interface.
If anything else is changed, I'll report back.
