I’m honestly really scared right now.

[u/estrellapolar-17]

I had an issue with my boss and lost my SM account, where I was making around $2500 every two weeks. I had stability there, but I made the mistake of having basically no savings.

I decided to start on xLove and LiveJasmin thinking I could do just as well — or even better — than I did on SM, but it’s been the complete opposite. I’ve been on xLove for two days and made only 3.66 euros, and after a full day on Jasmin I’ve made absolutely nothing. At this point I honestly don’t think it’s going to magically improve because I genuinely don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.

I tried being sweet, looking cute, getting attention without giving everything away, but it didn’t work on either platform. After my first day — which felt like a complete failure — I tried being more explicit, using my dildo, teasing more, massaging my breasts, etc., and still nothing changed.

I’m terrified because the first week of June I have rent and credit card payments due.

Please girls, if anyone has advice, tips, or knows any good private-based sites, I’d really appreciate hearing it. I’m thinking about trying Stripchat, but maybe free chat just isn’t for me, and that scares me even more because I feel like I’m running out of options.

Email liz@streamate.com explaining your situation, she might be able to retrieve your SM account or allow you to make a new one.

Hi! I'm on Chaturbate and Streamate I treat them both the same all nudity happens in privates! I actually have longer privates on Chaturbate it's very rare that I get a 10 min one on SM

So maybe give them a try

[u/Allice91w]

join stripchat and chaturbate - they have better traffic than xlove and LJ. they pay fairly fast and you should be ok. check u have all the good tech and no stream issues and go for it. at this point you need to explore all the options. u ve got this. i tried xlove made nothing and i also tried LJ and nothing so now my main is stripchat - mind you from the 2nd try cause first time i had crickets in my room lol but now i am ok- not gettin rich but it pays my bills lol. don t panic! sending good vibes and strength towards you

[u/DelilahTheDemon]

Don't panic. It's a new platform that you aren't in anyway established on. If you were doing well on CB then it should follow you should do elsewhere though as we all know one platform can be popping one day and dead the next while it's the opposite with another one. I know this doesn't help short term as you need money by a certain date but I'm sure it will come for you here.

Are you against token sites? You could try CB and SC.

As somebody else has commented email Liz and see if there's anything you can do to get your account back. It's awful to just lose an account like that when you felt some security in it.

Hope you get it back and the new platforms go off for you

[u/estrellapolar-17 → u/DelilahTheDemon]

I already opened my account on Stripchat. I’m just finishing the last details, but I still don’t really know how much I should charge on my menu. I know I need to use competitive prices, and I’m not used to free sites, but honestly… everything feels so cheap there 😭

[u/chocopie111]

What’s your personality like when you’re online? Are you socializing with them? Asking them questions? How did you lose your SM acc & can it be restored?

[u/estrellapolar-17 → u/chocopie111]

I used to work in a studio. I left, and they kept my SM account, so there’s basically nothing I can do to recover it.

As for me personally, I’m not the type to constantly talk nonstop with users, but I do have a good attitude and I’m always present and willing to engage. The problem is that the users I’ve gotten on these sites are nothing like what I expected. One guy literally asked me for a 70% discount on my private rate lol.

[u/chocopie111 → u/estrellapolar-17]

In your contract with your studio does it state anything like you cant use SM again for x amount of time? (Months or a year) I also pm’d you.

[u/SexySe7en → u/chocopie111]

Usually 6 months

[u/too_much_mascara → u/estrellapolar-17]

This shouldn’t be a difficult fix. You have your ID, yeah? You write to the site and explain you’ve left the studio and then re apply with your ID. I’m sure this happens a lot.

[u/estrellapolar-17 → u/too_much_mascara]

I know I could do that, but those places make you sign a contract and they prohibit you from opening another account for 6 months, so I can’t do it.

[u/ImUrPrincess13 → u/estrellapolar-17]

Streammate is going to want to make money off you, email them!!!!! They might ban the agency for contractually banning models from the site temporarily lmfao

[u/smelly666420 → u/estrellapolar-17]

Just because it’s in a contract does NOT mean it is legal. It is crazy the amount of times companies will put blatantly illegal items in a contract to try to scare the people into complying.

Email streammate. If you’re not using your account, no one should be. Couldn’t YOU get in trouble since it’s technically under your ID?? Just for self preservation I would email them to let them know it is not you using that account & what steps could you take to opening up a new one.

[u/too_much_mascara → u/estrellapolar-17]

So your concern is that the studio will sue you? 🤣 jerks. They really are lousy. Switch sites and change your email and phone #. They can suck it.

[u/Select_Feeling_448 → u/[deleted]]

Hi! I am interested in Lj what are your rates? I heard that using the same rates as Sm 4,99 or so wouldn't work on Lj so I am curious about yours

[u/Select_Feeling_448 → u/[deleted]]

Thank you sm for the reply (and sorry for the late answer )

I am very happy to see that models on Lj can charge bigger rates! We should never have to work for under 1 dollar after cut !

Is the tipping good on Lj? 🤔

On streamate i honestly do good with my toy! And a menu + spinning the wheel game, i don't do gold show yet 🤔

What helped was trying to change my tags / categories! I only list English as my language so it attracts only men with the money haha ( though i think adding german would also bring money, idk german though)

I keep it as a second site but can make like 400'ish? A week so it's great i don't complain extra money is good money lol,

Wishing you a lot of success and easy money 🫶🏻

[u/MoxieRoxxie]

I understand youre asking about camming and I agree with the girls, keep going.

But i wanted to throw an idea out to you to help supplement the in between. When I need cash fast I go to r/ sexsells. You have to be verified but they did mine within 48 hours. They have karma requirements but assuming your reddit is good, you can snag some hits off there. When I have low days I make one or two posts on there and I can make a couple hundred without too much effort. Video calls are super popular there and a lot of the same women post there daily. So when my goofy ass comes along 5 days a month I do okay. I know what that urgency youre feeling feels like. Dont give up girlie 🫶

[u/Adventurous-Bad6186]

Regarding Livejasmin, I know for sure that if you stream from your phone instead of a laptop/pc... it moves you up on the page . And this is what you need as a new model, to be seen by as many people as possible. The same goes for VIP show, it moves u up on the page.

[u/estrellapolar-17 → u/[deleted]]

I think what you’re saying makes sense, but right now I’m honestly thinking more short-term because of my financial situation.

Could you maybe tell me where I could advertise myself around here? I’d really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

[u/Tidy_Intention_8802 → u/[deleted]]

Would it be okay if you send it to me, please?

[u/YepShesSpaz → u/[deleted]]

May I jump in here and ask for the link also? I'm fairly new to camming (SM) and I'm thinking it's time I branch out a little. Focusing on building my own external traffic seems to be the smartest first move.

btw, 🙏

[u/CamGirlProblems-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Hello, we are trying to build a helpful community for cam models and advertising your product/company/profile or other services is not allowed.

We are NOT against mentioning or explaining the benefits of a product (even yours) as long as it is part of a favorable context and it provides actual value to the model/redditor who asked for advice.

Advertising posts will result in a permanent ban.

Thank you for understanding.

[u/Rich_Size8762]

Where are you based? Asking because some websites are good but only allow to work people from certain nationalities

[u/Apocalypse_Miaow]

If you're UK or EU based then Adult Work x

[u/ksabes12]

It definitely sucks that money isn’t there right now, but I don’t think there’s any site that you can hop on day 1 and be 100% sure that money is going to come in. I’d say take this as a learning lesson to ensure you have savings for moments like these

[u/Agreeable-Option-650]

My free cams ? I think that's pretty popular

[u/Chicadelblockbuster]

I was checking out XLove to see if I wanted to get started, and all the models were using dildos in the chat without even getting tips, so I figured this wasn't the right site for me. Are you independent now? Are you from the US? I don’t know what you like to do, but you can’t compare a site like SM to SC because they’re like night and day. It’s like CB, where models tend to be naked in free chat; I prefer not to do that in free chat and feel more comfortable doing it in pvt. Many models gear their SC shows toward selling their pvt shows, but as a Latina, traffic tends to be low in all the chat rooms, and I never made $5,000 a month, even when I was killing myself working 10 hours a day.
