    Default Starting to Lose My Motivation to Cam on Streamate

    This is my second week back on SM and I have to say I'm really unmotivated to get through my base goals. I cannot stay online for longer than 2 hours anymore. Losing gold shows, bitrate issues, rtt that won't calculate, no help from support...I've never felt this way about SM. I can usually bang out 20 hours no prob but I struggled with even getting to 15. My stress levels are soaring every time I'm online bc I know if I run into any issues my night might be compromised and the only tool I have is SW to troubleshoot.

    Honestly I've kinda give up on SM... I cam on imlive sometimes (and I honestly have more traffic there and at least can get a few shows in) and am currently trying to transition to token sites. On SM, I sit there for hours with no one in my room and make maybe $30... Not worth it. I dont know what happened to SM :/

    After months of technical issues on SM and having members say they aren't going to come on anymore, I officially am done with the site and putting my effort into other ones. I may go back on once in awhile out of curiosity to see if things have improved but that won't be often. Even though it's difficult starting over on a new site, I find my energy and mood are soooo much better.

    SM has pretty much shit the bed as far as pvts go. I have given up on that shit over there and just run a Spycam and ignore them while I am doing shows on the other sites I work. They pay to spy while I pay attention to the per minute guys elsewhere. It's an easy $100 a day to just let them watch what I'm doing with guys who actually want to pay for a pvt on the other sites.

    thats what i was told a few months back when i brought it up. Im waiting to get my new pc and shit so i can bring it up to her again, because ive gotten so desperate i figured shit...maybe it IS the geo restrictions. I did great the first couple times i cammed after the restritions were off because to a hand full of members, i was "new" but of course it was just the first couple times i cammed and then back to the same shit. I know i have a pretty shitty pc even though its never really been an issue before. I dont want to e mail her again until i have all the fucking absolute bases covered. Im curious as to what they will say then, when i have the right amount of everything, hooked in, high speed, high def, no geo resteictions etc etc. I bet im going to get told "its because you have opted out of adds, that effects traffic tremondously" LIKE OMFG I DONT CARE OF PEOPLE WHO ARENT EVEN MEMEBERS OF SM, SO THERE FOR CANNOT SPEND MONEY, ARE VIEWING MY CAM, I CARE ABOUT PAYING TRAFFIC.

    I've never experienced technical difficulties to the point I tanked 4 positions in my category in just one shift. Then, i receive no traffic and the people I do get are asking me for animals and children. I cannot ban people bc the function also* doesn't work right now . Yet girls who haven't cammed in weeks can maintain their spots.

    I knownliz and support are beyond done with our complaints and therefore we only get condescending replies but sorry guys I've been sitting in the top row for over 6 months. I started the week of streamgate and it was shakey but I've stayed consistent and I'm seeing the worst decline of this entire site. I do not like camming here

    That is why I've been staying offline and camming here and there, I've noticed I can remain at the bottom to middle row before dropping after 5/6 hours of camming 3 days apart. Its irritating that model's cannot get a straight answer or have these issues resolved that may be caused on their end. Its not just my time and loss of income but, their as well so..good luck to them!

    It will pick up. No company on earrh is going to throw away $240,000 a day. Thats the bamdwidth worth of SM.

    Thats $87,600,000 a year ish. They are not going to throw that away.

    I had 4 terrible days in a row ($50 or less) but last night I got plenty in 1 hour. I won't give up just yet. However, there could be better paying traffic. I've been getting a lot of guys coming in and saying "Hey slut!" then leaving. Maybe its the same guy? I also have been getting pedos too. My hubby thinks they need to be turning those fuckers over to the FBI and wash their hands clean of it. They HAVE to know what members are saying to us?

    No problem. I'm not trying to be an insensitive bitch but consistency trumps motivation. Having more eggs, and putting your all into sites like SM and not just half assing it and showing up during 'slow' hours for 4 hours a day won't get you paid. Yeah, glitches happen. But all sites don't glitch simultaneously. Sometimes you gotta check back and try your hand at a later time. If someone chooses to give up on SM that's more $ for me so, bye! It doesn't make sense to me to hold out on logging in because there 'might' be an issue. Huh? Nah, I want my money and I'm going to get it come hell or high water.

    If you have no motivation to cam on Streamate then ask yourself 'What if there was no Streamate?!' then do just that!

    I definitely feel u. I've never made good money on SM cuz ive only been working on it the last 4 months when things have been real bad and I had a shit computer too. But I don't know what to tell u, I jus can't let myself give up! and sometimes I see little signs it's paying off. like being on 1st page for the first time or doubling how much I'm making hourly in jus 2 shifts. Those things keep me going through endless nights making $3 for SO MUCH EFFORT! However, Im not gonna be ignorant when I can't make enough to live and keep doing the same shit all the time. i am going to try and split my time between SM and MFC starting next wk and see how I like it. I think the best and often repeated advice around here is NEVER Give up!! I know u can find something that works for u sweetie and I hope we all can!

    Have you tired a different site ? i went on cams.com the other day to try and get enough money to get payout because i wasnt on there for almost a year i got my goal and then some in a few short hours and that was using a basic laptop and the built in camera and i was typing no sound while doing a dial in PSO line . i had WAY more traffic then the past few times i was on SM but i think part of that is the fact theres about 500-600 models on when i normally go on compared to the 1000+ on SM . The guys on there are really nice but with any site YMMV. model support on cams actually listens to models and reads emails too they even have LIVE MODEL CHAT SUPPORT witch ive used a few times as well as a model phone support witch ive used too and theyre great at helping and solving performer issues and questions . they pay 32% so a little less then SM but its kinda worth it to me . i still havent 100% given up on SM but im using a 3 down and .75 up DSL connection right now so i can only do one site at a time so i have to be picky about where i cam so i think for now its going to be cams.com

    Here is a post from the MOST COMPLAINING & BITCHY MODEL ON SM in this forum, Myself!! hahaaa

    So, what helped me get my motivation back? Camming on bonga tonite, wasted time there doing nothing almost. I dont know that hustle!! I was on SM too splitting (still online now) & had a few shows, is a slow saturday now after cut time but i am not giving up on this site tho i got angry on bonga guys & lost some SM members due to being too bitchy to bonga freeloaders, my sm guys were not aware who i was bitching at LOL, they believed i bitch at them. This had a negative impact on my mood and made me loose business on SM to be very honest.

    I simply LOVE & Hate SM the same time but i choose to love it more than hating it, that's why my ass is there still no matter how much i bitch about them.

    Token sites? NO, is the 3rd failure for me and the last try for token sites. Just NO for me. Will try other pvt based sites eventually but SM will stay. Felt soo bad on bonga, the audience is not for me i guess or it was a bad time, not sure.

    I go where the money are but on SM i make the most. Now that i upgraded my PC i am positive things will improve, they already improved money wise just i was working chaotically in the last days.

    PLS do not loose motivation, things can improve anytime. I posted in SM Vent thread some print screens to motivate and inspire girls to stay positive, go have a luck, i had an amazing slave showering me in gold no kidding, after a very slow shift.

    Even i was running my PC with the wrong parameters/ equipment i still managed to make money.
    Pls know things can improve anytime. Maybe they prepare something new?! that's why the glitches??

    SM, i hope u dont ask us to get intel 12 that is not even an option hahaaaa, pls stay with I5 or I7 so i can make use of this PC a little more OMG!

    Pls go try another site just to make the difference eventually, it can help, it helped me

    Much love babes xxx

    I feel EXACTLY the same way you do. The site is having major issues and doesn't seem like its going to get any better anytime soon. I have my fingers crossed it does but IDK.

    I'm right there with you KatM on the token sites. I am really just not sure if its for me. I dont wanna give up completely.. SM has major issues but I am also in agreeance not to give up. I had the WORST last 3 months straight. In fact, its been really shitty for me ever since thanksgiving. It just picked back up for me. I managed to make $600 i about 7 hours of work this week on SM and it is such a welcome change. I just hope I am not jinxing myself! I am trying to save to buy myself a really nice desktop computer too, with really high specs. I am hoping that will also help with some of these issues (maybe). I want to start trying to save some money (with 4 hearses sitting in my driveway, yeah fuckin right!) or something too, because in the back of my mind I'm thinking who knows how long camming is going to be a viable way of making money? I've been doing this for nearly 10 years now and every year it gets worse and worse. Hopefully it holds out.. But for now, dont lose hope. There is definitely money to be made!

    True words of inspiration. I just got back to camming after a super long break because it is my plan B. My first 2 days on SM I didn't even clear $2... but I'm glad that I gave it another chance. Staying motivated is the key. And some how tonight is starting off pretty damn decent. There's a sea of fetish guys in the house tonight. If all I have to do is burp a few times, rate dicks and get bored while masturbating during long privates, just to keep a roof over my head.. then shit, I'm game. This is the service industry and every service industry has slow periods and hiccups. Don't be an added statistic to the turnover rate. Be a statistic to one of the chicas who prevailed
