    Default Going to be my first time tonight... question plz

    Hi girls I've been lurking here since last night just reading up on tips and stuff but just a question that I've not seen the answer to yet, when I go onto sm and hit the start show button what should I expect to happen?
    I know I'm on cam but do I see the guys? Or do I just see there typing messages? I know I'm an awful noob but I just want to know what to expect. I prefer typing to talking I don't want a mic on. Any tips or advice would be great thank you xxx

    Typed, the only time you see them is if you are in a private and they do cam 2 cam

    All the best on your first session! Just beware of the men who try to take advantage of new models. Always verify tips and make sure if you are doing things for tips, you get tipped BEFORE you do them.

    Yes please check your recent earning to see if you have REALLY been tipped first before doing ANYTHING. When someone takes you private you will hear a sound and the paid chat window will have a red dot by it. Guys get a free 30 secs so I would advise not going into your private to quickly and just tease a bit before you really get started. There will be a lot of 30 second professional peepers smh. Good luck!

    Good luck!! I had a rough first night, so I hope you do amazing, but don't feel bad if you only make a little. You'll be making more and more as you get consistent and make regulars

    Hey, girl - I get suuuuuuuuuuuuuppppeeerr anxious, and honestly the, "What's going to happen when I push this button?" anxiousness was ridic! Especially because if you're logged into your main page, your dashboard, and click the green "Start My Show" button - NOTHING happens, really, haha. It takes you to another screen where you set up your chatroom, etc, and THEN you can hit to broadcast.

    Here, I took a screenshot and thought I could lay out some stuff - NOT because I don't think you're smart and can figure it out alone, but I just know that seeing something like this might have helped assuage A LOT of my own anxiety. I hope it helps! And I'm sorry if this is not exactly what you were talking about! Haha.

    A) Recent Earnings - click this and another window will pop up listing your earnings, by day, for that pay period/week. You can click each day and then get a breakdown of who you received payments from (an Exclusive session from JoeShmoe earned you $43.17; TallywackerTerry tipped $X gold giving you $1.75). So this is a good place to check if you were ACTUALLY tipped (like the girls mentioned above). And not just some drive by wackadoodle trying to pretend he tipped you to get something for free from you in public chat.

    B) Your Live Show tab will be the only one that will work when you are actually broadcasting. So if you want to fiddle with the other two you need to do it before hitting that other/second green "Start My Show" button. Settings is where you can determine your defaults for chat - either Party or Classic - or if you allow Free accounts to chat at all, etc. You cannot change these settings while you're live broadcasting. You would need to end your show to adjust them, then restart.

    C) These are your chat windows! Yay! The middle grey-barred one labeled "Guest Chat - All" is all of your potentials in public chat. Below this chat box there's another grey bar for Free Chat (but I never use that, and I couldn't get it in the screen shot anyway, so sorry). Right above Guest Chat you'll see the gorgeous, red-barred Paid Chat. Whenever a client takes you into Paid Chat or Exclusive Chat, you screen SHOULD maximize the Paid Chat window (if you click the bars it will minimize or maximize them as well). If you have dudes in Paid Chat - congratulations! You're making money per minute!

    D) This is basically your preview screen. Mine's black right now 'cause I shoved my finger over it so you can't see my ugly ass right now, lol. But I like to check my lightning, make-up, etc., before diving in; this screen will continue to stream your broadcast even while you're live, so you'll be able to see if you have like a booger coming out of your nose - or your eyeliner smudged - or, my most common, need to reapply lipstick!

    E) Show Control Buttons: Green "Start My Show" is self-explanatory, really. If you click that button you will REALLY actually start streaming live to the website and can receive customers in your room. That blue pause button I had to ask Support for; if you click it a 10 minute countdown starts with your webcam no longer streaming (but your room stays open), to give you the chance to finish getting dressed, clean up a bit, go pee, grab something from the UPS man, etc. The next is the Microphone button - if it has a red circle and a line through it, it means your mic is muted and you are not broadcasting sound to your room. And last but not least, that little Bell icon lets you choose with notification sounds you'd like to hear. You can change those at any time during your broadcast, even while you're live.

    F) Room Control Tabs: The left-most chat bubble gives you that little text box in which you can type your room topic. Yay! You only get 140 characters (and only 5 lines), though, so I hope you've been Twitter-practicing! The next tab has that telephone with the line through it. You can choose to accept phone calls from your guys in either Premium or Exclusive Chat - you cannot fully activate this feature until you have started your show and are broadcasting. The last, right-most tab lets you control whether or not you will Cam2Cam with you customers in either Premium or Exclusive.

    Hope that helps some and I didn't muck it up too badly. Good luck!

    I plan to start camming later this summer, and I find this infinitely helpful. A general idea of what SM's setup looks like and how it functions will do wonders for my anxiety! Bookmarking for future reference.

    Good luck on your first night, OP!

    I totally forgot about how anxious that made me the first time, lol! I felt like I couldn't start without having a thorough understanding of the interface, but I thought that the button on the dashboard would immediately start my broadcast. I was so afraid to hit that button that I didn't see the streaming interface at all until I had my room set up, my makeup good, and felt like I was as ready as I could get. Then when I hit the dashboard button and got sent to the streaming page, there was so much to look at, and I wasn't sure if I was already in free chat, so I panicked and closed the browser. LOL!

    Also, I wish we had screenshots of the broadcasting interfaces for all the sites. I find that really helpful. It's hard to decide if you want to work a site without knowing what features you'll have while streaming, and it's nice to know if the layout will fit with all the other windows you have on your screen.

    Haha! I did the same thing! I was like, hovering over clicking it like, "Okay .. makeup ... stuff .. omgawwwdd" and then I clicked it and there was this whole other screen and I was like, Well that was panic for nothing, lmfao.

    I'd love to see other interfaces.

    Also, having multiple windows open in SM can slow down your feed. I usually bookmark the recent earnings page on my phone so I can verify my tips that way. These cam johns shifty and crafty AF. Also, watch out for the powder dude. If he pops in your room, you'll know who I mean. He loves the new girls ) Also, party chat was a lil bit easier for me than the classic, that way everyone can see what everyone is typing and you dont have to worry about dude going huh, etc.

    Also keep in mind these rules from SM's Code of Conduct, because guys will try to sweet talk you into breaking them:
    3. No Below the Belt Nudity
    In order to prevent minors’ exposure to full nudity and adult material we require there to be no below the belt nudity in free chat. Topless is acceptable but full nudity is only allowed in age verified areas – also known as “private” or “paid chat”. Nudity in free areas will result in temporary suspension of your account.
    4. Live Chat Code of Conduct
    Performer agrees that s/he will not violate any law concerning obscenity. Performer shall not portray depictions of sex involving any person under the age of eighteen (1 years of age, rape, incest, bestiality, fisting, necrophilia, any form of minor activity, urination and/or defecation. Animals should not appear on camera at any time.
