    Default Where is everyone going to get away from the SM problems?

    I've seen a lot of people in the forum saying they're going elsewhere to other sites to get away from all the glitches and low traffic on Streamate. I am starting to feel the same way, and am just wondering where everyone is going because I'm starting to not be able to handle the traffic either. This is my only source of income, and even though I know high traffic doesn't equal high payout, it's better than NO traffic.

    Well, you should have an extra site to cam on just in case. I joined MFC last month and whenever I get fed up with SM I jump on there. At least I have somewhere else to go. Yeah, it's different and I have totally different guys, but I do okay. A few days I've made really good $$ and have a few regulars who come right into my room when I log on. Take a look at your options and get something going on the side. Every little bit helps.

    Clips4sale, custom clips, & Skype shows are what's paying my bills right now. When I am on SM I'm split-camming to maximize my chances.

    I'm not going anywhere, bb. We work in a virtual environment so there are going be days full of glitches, low traffic, and site updates. Technology isn't perfected and this is going to keep happening in the future occasionally.

    Just keep showing up and work through it. My advice has always been to have lots of eggs/back up sites, phone and texting sites, and constant, weekly advertisement for independent shows. If you're doing your part to secure your behind you'll still make decent money with or without SM. I beg you, please do not put all of your eggs in the SM basket or any other site for that matter. Secure your behind!

    She's right. yeah. Things don't always work all the time when dealing with the internet. That's why I hate getting mad and writing angry messages to support. Shit does happen. Your car breaks down, your internet goes out, your AC quits, you stub the shit outta your toe (I did that during a gold show countdown! Broke my damn pinkie toe) I'm loyal to SM, but like just a little MFC on the side. SM is my base and I have a lot of regulars there. I still do make my goal, but got a little bored then tried MFC and liked it. I'm happier with that mix. My manyvids profile is doing well too thanks to my time on MFC.

    It's so up & down for me... When it comes to Streamate, some girls do exceptionally well and won't understand fully. I get it... they rock, they really do.. Maybe we can play nice. Anyways, I do clips, clips & more clips! Fills the $ void. Helped my November's rent a ton.

    And the same could be said for you. The OP asked everyone what they were going to do and it's possible Marina hasn't had any issues. The thing is, with all of these people experiencing glitches it's all about how you react to it. I know we all have bills to pay but a lot of these money issues can be fixed by camming multiple sites or having more eggs. Maybe Marina isn't having issues because she's working her other eggs, or maybe her feed and room are glitch free. Either way, shit happens and it's about how you react towards it.

    There is nothing wrong with doing bad on a site when others are banking. That just means you'll have to spread wings a go elsewhere.

    Marina is one of the top contributers on this forum and one my very good friends. I'm sorry but she can contribute however she wants to and that is almost always very positively and being extremely helpful. It's nice to read that SM is still a great site for some instead of hearing people whine about it all the time.

    Default Re: Where is everyone going to get away from the SM problems?

    I am quite confused to see the in-fighting in this thread.

    I think we can all agree that Streamate is having some major problems (glitches) right now and those glitches are really causing some girls to fear their ability to pay their bills.

    I think we can also agree that this is not the first time that Streamate has had major problems (glitches) and bounced back and I highly doubt that it will be the last and that no one should never depend on one site as your main income no matter what that site is...ever.

    But what I am also hoping that we all can agree on is that we are still all in this together. While I completely understand that some people are sick of the negativity around here lately what needs to be remembered that there are some girls that are struggling to pay their bills right now and that they are scared.

    So let's try to be kind to each other.

    LittleTransClit,

    I am sorry but I did not see any malice in Marina's question. She was just asking if there are any recent problems? I knew that streamate had some issues in the past but it seems to get overwhelming bad. Marina was just being curious about the op's problem.

    Kittie,

    Seriously, it is time to have different eggs instead of depending on one site all of the time. In the adult work, there are so much that could be done in order to make money in the adult world yet you must find eggs that are right for you. You could pick from anything from different webcam sites to stripping to escorting to phone sex to adult website affiliate. You could even be a sugar baby and there is always Second Life or other virtual worlds. Plus you could always sell panties on ebanned.com My suggestion is find another site to work on and develop any marketing plan including a different hustle.

    ^^^ Her answer to the original question was actually "What problems?" accompanied by a certain GIF so the message i got of that post was "What problems, there are no problems?!?". I can see why this message can come out as ignoring other's problems, i think LittleTransClit got irritated for exactly this, i mean is one thing to cam part time for some extra money & dont experience the glitches some full time cammers do & another thing to be on cam longer shifts & live on only cam income like many of cam models do.

    Yes, I really did not see Marina's Glf as a problem. I guess I read her message differently than everyone else. I just thought it was "What are the problems?"

    But what we're trying to explain is that it's no longer safe to live "only on cam" income. Skype, phone sex, texting gigs rarely have glitches so why not have a safety net of other sites to work on? Some of the people doing the most complaining are the ones who show up 1.5 hours before cut off and whine all day about how slow it is/was. We all have the same 24 hours, get your butt on cam 10 hours early if you have to! Cammodels need to start using common sense and doing everything in their power to make the money they want/need. Common sense (I know it's not always common) tells most people that if you're experiencing something out of your control(as most glitches are), go and mine from a different source and come back when things are good again. If you're only signed up to ONE site that is no one's fault but your very own.

    At the end of the day every single cent we do or don't make is fully under our own control. We're commission earners, not salary workers. We're not owed, shit. We all know the drill and this has never been the first time wells have dried up and will not be the last. Do what you gotta do to pay your bills and stop relying on 1 site. It's been said over and over, I'm waiting for it to penetrate in some people's heads. We aren't ignoring "other" people's problems. Other people are ignoring the solutions to theirs! There are more negative "camming sucks, it's slow, sm sucks right now, threads than there are positive ones!

    Trust me, no one is ignoring that there are problems (with 5 top "this sucks" threads you can't ignore it!) but the question is, what the hell are you going to do about it? There are solutions! People are noticing that the forums here have been soaked in so much of a slump lately that bbs are legit avoiding posting in CC because they don't want to read constant complaining threads. Figure out the solution and stop spreading negativity all over Camming Connection for poop's sake.

    That's the point of this post... OP was literally polling the community to find out what some solutions were:

    Yet we had people come in and derail it, essentially berating OP and others for "complaining". WTF? OP literally was trying to do exactly what you suggest, and yet you're defending those attempting to derail the topic. I dont get it?

    Marina wasn't trying to derail the thread. I believe you did that when you took her post personally and out of context. But we can get back on topic. That's the beauty of CC. It gets thrown off but we're all mature adults who can respect other's opinions. It's just not fun to see people known lately for their negativity polluting yet another thread when there's 10 negative threads to bitch in. And that wasn't geared towards you, btw. It's just that lately I feel like anyone admitting that they're not having XYZ problems and or are making money, the witch hunting and bitchiness starts. Like, damn, can someone not be happy for those who ARE doing well and don't wish to leave SM? Or are we all supposed to join in on the pity party? The OP asked if people were going or not and some of us aren't because we're just fine and we get the ups and downs of camming.

    Default Re: Where is everyone going to get away from the SM problems?

    My two cents (in five points)

    1. There seems to be a lot of miscommunication in going on in this thread.

    2. I personally have no doubt that Marina's comment was not malicious. I am of the opinion that she does not have a malicious bone in her body.

    3. The people who are doing well feel that others are just bitching and whining

    4. The people who have been having trouble lately feel that the people who are doing well are not showing enough empathy.

    5. We just keep going around and around in circles about these types of issues since both sides of this issue are the truth for the people who are living it and for some strange reason we never seem to find a way to meet in the middle.
