    Default Streamate traffic problems

    Hello, I'm new in this forum but I'm not new as a cam girl. I've been just in an Italian website where actually I was earning quiet good money but isn't good be always always online so I thought to work in another web site and work 6+4.
    Basically I've made an account on streamate few days ago, I had the activation yesterday and I was online for 4 hours, earning just 25$, today I'm online from 2 hours and I've earned just 2.61$? how is that possible?
    I ve a Logitech HD Pro c920, good laptop, good internet connection, good look (make up, hair, wearing something sexy)
    I always talk, but the costumers just come in the room and go out in few seconds
    Where am I wrong?

    This week has been one for the books on SM. Tuesday was the last night I was able to clear $500. Starting Wednesday I noticed a total decline and it was so bad I decided to just take the week off and restart next week. I could not get anyone to talk to me and tons of shows were failing on me. I saw zero regulars and that weirded me out too

    When it gets slow, you just gotta keep working. Put in more hours then just 2 to 4 hours a day. I worked 30+ hours this past week so I can make my minimum goal. This happens with commission based work. Some days are bank, some days suck.

    When it's slow, it's hard not to blame yourself. Because you are the product.

    You have new girl status right now on Streamate, which lasts 30days. WORK as MUCH as possible during this time to get your placement up! So when that time ends, you won't be lost in the back pages.

    As Audri said, you've got 30 days as new girl status. I'd like to add that if you have guys coming in to chat you should ask them to 'Favorite' you, with the little heart button. That way, even when you're no longer within the New Models page, those guys will still see you on the top line of all the available models.

    Even after 6 years on SM, I'm constantly asking for guys to favorite me. You just never know when SM, or any other site, is going to scramble placement like SM did over the holidays. One day you're on line 2, then all of a sudden you're kicked to page 2. But if guys have you favorited you're always going to be at the top of page one for them. That's huge!

    This week truly has been one for the record books. Awful. I thought maybe it would pick-up with this being a payday weekend here in the states (bi-weekly pay), but even that hasn't done much good. There has been a horrific snow storm that has made it impossible for people to leave there homes. Logically, that means that guys are trapped at home with the wife & kids, which means there is little chance for them to have 'alone time' being naughty with us. But that won't account for how awful it's been.

    May I suggest that if you can cam while guys in Eastern Time are going to bed, 11pm-3am you might fare better. Guys knockin' off a shot before bed =) At those times the guys through the other time zones are getting ready for bed too.

    Hang in there. It's bound to get better. Fingers crossed.

    Personally, I'd suggest that if you can

    Can you split-cam with the Italian site and Streamate? I do SM and Adultwork simultaneously so daytime US is nighttime UK/Europe and I notice that when it's slow in one, the other site often provides some backup.

    Basically its 1am here now and I'm online on SM, I always say hello to everybody when someone come inside my room but they just come on and off in less then 2 sec
    is that normal? I'm online from 20 min and no one wrote me anything and neither replied to my hello!
    I was thinking about Adultwork because I've also an English bank account and I know a girl that she earn good money but I never have really understood how it works, the layout looks a bit complicate. But I will try eheh you have right! I was in an italian one but I'm still waiting a payment from 2 months now, before was working pretty well but if they don't pay, I don't have intention to work obviously

    Hey Itbabe. I live in Spain and my best hours are normally early in the morning 6 to 10. Then at 10 it sort of dies for a while and Picks back up from 12 to 2 or 3. If I have done well I log off until about 5 and work until 8 or 9 if there is good traffic. That is my whole day because I have other work I take care of for the later hours but I used to also work from 12 until 2. Being in Europe means that when you work early morning it is still late night in America, we are 6 hours earlier from the East coast 9 from the West coast so I like to take advantage of those hours the most if I can get up early but that doesnt mean I dont get good customers throughout the day. Working on SM requires some consistency as the other girls mentioned. You can go two hours with next to nothing and then make $200 in the next hour so just get comfortable and stay on!

    Also what is your pricing like? You might want to just bump up your prices a little bit because it means a bigger payout, obviously, but also it upgrades your product and brings in better customers.

    Also my best days are Monday morning, Tuesday Afternoon, Wednesday and sometimes really Early Friday Morning. Really early Saturday is always great for me. I dont work Sunday so I cant really comment on that. The best weeks are normally the First and last week of the month so if you really put in the hours this week Im sure you will see your $$ go up. Also remember to tell ALL customers to add you to their Favorites and ask anyone who takes you private or exclusive to rate you 5 stars and/or leave a comment. This will all be really important when you lose your new girl status so take advantage now!

    Yes! Those rates are very low. inagine the difference between a $1 and a $10 sandwich, if you were after an indulgent fantasy sandwich which would you go for? If you sell cheap you attract cheap, and you can never be cheap enough for those assholes

    $2.99 a minute is actually $1.05 after SM takes their cut. Most privates average around 4 minutes. The average is 2 shows an hour so that's $8.37...below minimum wage. Of course, on better days you'll get more privates and other guys will also peep in during your show so you can potentially make more so the numbers are on the low side but, SM is notorious for glitches. If you have the recommended specs for a kickass computer, you've invested quite possibly around $1500 or more for your entire system, cam, lights etc. You pay for rent/mortgage, utilities, child care, cam outfits, sex toys (which are not cheap at all if they are good quality), router, modem and the best internet connection you can buy.

    Charge at least $4.99 to cover your overhead and make some profit! You deserve it!
