How do you use social media to strengthen your cam presence?

[Streamate Europe]

Hi everyone!

I’ve noticed that many models use social media really well — not necessarily posting a ton, but posting the right kind of things to attract attention, build a brand, and guide followers toward their cam shows.

I’m curious how you all approach this, especially since social media can feel overwhelming.

Some questions if you’re open to sharing:

What type of posts work best to create connection without giving too much away?

Do you focus on aesthetics, teasers, personality, or a mix?

Do you see a difference in your cam traffic when you stay consistent?

How do you avoid spending endless hours on social platforms?

It would be great to hear tips, routines, or anything that helped you find a balance.

I think a lot of us could benefit from shared experiences.

I don't like to keep up with a ton of social media, but having a TikTok has helped me out. It's easy to make short video clips that show off the SFW goods lol.

 

[Ivyhates_u]

We should start with Alex (the brazilian rep) lying to models and making false promises and exploiting models to strengthen his own pockets or SM's whilemaking girls from my country feel used and work under false promises like idiots. Fuck SM.

 

[MarieElise]

You guys take 65% and don't let us share our socials. No offense but this feels like a huge overstep. At least to me.

It boggles my mind that someone out there has decided to pay an employee to make posts like these, and yet basic features like compliance approvals are not even working correctly 50% of the time?

For example; I get an email notification from you guys about SFW pics yesterday, as all other models/ performers did too. So I immediately reuploaded 2 pics which are SFW but which were never marked as so, when they were initially uploaded months ago.

Your guys compliance approves them, but ONCE AGAIN doesn't mark them as SFW. The only picture in my gallery you guys marked as SFW is one of the 3 that isn't

! . For real; what is wrong with the compliance department? Stuff like this and posts like these waste our time. We made you guys the money to pay an employee to make superfluous posts like these, that money should be going toward better Dev! Not this! PLEASE PUT MORE MONEY TOWARD BETTER IMPROVED SITE DEV!

Signed someone who's been working for you for over a decade now.
This post isn't about fixing this one issue of my Biopic. It's about a concern that the company isn't being managed as well as I'd like to see it being managed, given all the work and time I dedicate to making you money. I write to you guys atleast once a week about these type of compliance errors. Nothing ever improves.

I suspect they want tips to give to models to increase traffic to the site so they can trick more people into signing up for their eroticmatch site.

I believe SM needs to get their shit together for their models or get lost. They are now letting reps scam models from certain countries with weaker currencies promising a fixed rate for the 25h work streams if they reach the min. But only doing shows for the lowest $$ per min possible on the site, bait then and dont pay the extra. On top of everything so Many other premium sites models can work and take their audiences to. Models never recommend streamate for new models cuz it is a garbage place to work. The geo tag is just like stripchat but they don't have the money, the traffick, the payment methods and everything to back up strip's geo tag or higher % they take. Everyone on token sites can be just non nude too unless take private. I have been so angry since I read two or three girls reporting the same scam from the same com artist Rep. Cammodels need to stop giving this site money. It is trash

 

[MarieElise]

I wouldn't go as far as saying the site is trash, as they have made some good improvements over the years, that other sites still fail to.

However a lot of my Regs who I have had for years have gone to MFC and SC, since they don't want to deal with all the constant site glitches.
That needs to be figured out. I'm not moving to SC, it's a terrible site. People don't want to spend premium dollars on a not premium experience.

Good job on implementing paid DMs, though. That's working well.
And the increased moderation you've made of "tags" over the years is also a way better improvement than many sites have bothered to make on anything.
As well as this I do like the new model UI. C4S has changed their workspace to make it more cumbersome and confusing, whereas SM changed theirs in a way, that actually makes intuitive sense, and is easy to use. Instead of replacing a 1-page form, with a 3-page one

I absolutely recommend SM as a good place for new models to work, as I still make way more money there than any other live stream site I've tried.
I've been working there since 2013.

However, there still needs to be some improvement. That being said, the main clip sites I work for, have failed out so hard with site changes over the last few months, that I'd still take SM over them any day of the week.

I would never. I started there myself and it was boring 4 years ago already (I roughly did 70usd my first hours part time). Site is so dead it makes you think no one was wifi

Or maybe SM needs to read this and can (fire) that Rep, if the reports are true
ETA; AND recompense any models who were made false promises ie pay them for any missing balance.

I would never. I started there myself and it was boring 4 years ago already. Site is so dead it makes you think no one was wifi

not the experience i have at all, sorry you have had that.

Still cant see the total unpaid balance though... such a simple thing to be missing.

Thank you. I am beyond me someone who works there think it is fine to scam girls from my country so I am a bit sorry for throwing so many curse words haha

This why is I am spamming about it. The girls have screenshots on another forum. SM fire this scammy Rep you have for Brazil right now otherwise it won't look good for you. We won't let our girls forget. Pay them whatever the hell was agreed or fire Alex for his lies.

 

[MarieElise]

I think it's good that you highlight this issue, as someone on their end should look into it and investigate. It's understandable to be upset about such an issue

Hi everyone!

I’d like to step in and clarify a few things in a respectful and transparent way, especially since I see frustration, confusion, and some serious accusations being made in this thread.


First of all, Alex is not a scammer and is not misleading models.
Alex is an official representative dedicated to the Brazilian market, and the current offer being referenced is part of a structured project aimed specifically at selected models in Brazil. During the onboarding process, every detail of the offer — including all mandatory requirements and performance criteria — is clearly communicated.


Participation is entirely voluntary, and the models who choose to join do so because the offer aligns with their own interests and goals. Whenever a model is removed from the program, it is only after prior communication explaining exactly which requirements were not met. There is continuous, direct, and transparent communication with every model involved in this project.

That said, we take concerns from models seriously, and if someone feels misinformed or confused about an offer, we always encourage them to reach out directly so we can review the situation together and resolve it correctly.


We genuinely appreciate all feedback, even critical feedback — as long as it is shared constructively. This helps us improve the experience for everyone.

Please check wecamgirl forums and see the girls threads there. Same thread on that forum but no reps paid att to what the girls had screenshot savings and complaints. I read portuguese pretty well and the email says only 25h a week and min payout (I assume the payout because he doesn't mention it on the email) nothing else. She did it then what?

 

[Ivyhates_u]

If he is recruiting newbies he should explain the long awaiting period SM has to pay new models... Idk what happened here but any miscommunication is his fault

Sm's payment hold is longer than any other site for people that arnt getting paid 35%. It's crazy that we get a lower % and worse service.

 

[Ivyhates_u]

Correct. If it is not a scam he should be telling new girls everything about said proposal or how long/how payment works. Clearly he didn't with this one. I just read another girl (older model, prolly with no payment withold) did get her fixed bonus but she found the proposal terrible and stopped doing it and went back to her normal way of working on the site.

 

[neZuko]

EI was one of the models who was scammed. I completed the 25 hours and wasn't paid, and I don't know if I'll be paid. As Alex already said, the excuse is that I didn't meet the prerequisites, even though the email states that I only needed to complete 25 hours.And leave the dynamic pricing off and the price low. I don't advise any Brazilian woman to work with you guys.It's ridiculous that you waste your time and in the end it's a scam and you don't get paid.

Alex is not being transparent!!!! You probably didn't meet because they take a whole month to pay new models. (I assume) streamate needs to clarify what is going

I’m present on Wecamgirls and we always respond to the forum threads we have access to. As many of you know, some discussions are only visible to registered models, so we’re not able to view or reply to every thread.


Regarding the offer, I want to reassure everyone that all requirements have been—and continue to be—clearly communicated to the models. We do not change, suspend, or remove accounts without prior notice that includes all the necessary details. Most of the concerns I’ve seen are not related to scams, but rather to misunderstandings or incomplete information.


Because there are already multiple comments here, and to avoid spamming the thread, I’ll address the main points together below:


Payment schedules:
The 21-day payment timeline applies globally and is not linked to earning 5% more or less. This delay is required for banking and financial compliance to ensure secure processing of payments. Payments are issued weekly, with a 21-day delay. If you meet your minimum payout weekly, you will receive your payment every Friday for the corresponding earnings from previous weeks.


If you believe your account has been changed or removed and you’re not fully sure why, please feel free to email me directly. Include your Streamate nickname and any relevant details, and I’ll be happy to look into your case personally.

Thank you all!

Catalina is for real, knowing her for almost a decade I can tell you she’s trustworthy. Same goes to Liz and the rest of tightly knit group that is Streamate. That’s all I can really say

Yes, the issue was clearly Alex not giving girls who enter sex work because they need money NOW and are in dire need, only to never have it clarified to them that the parameters they didn't meet was the payment hold up (which at first made me think he was scamming instead of just hiding info) . That is on him, clearly

 

[Dan Epstein]

To be honest I have no idea who Alex is. The raffles and competitions I ran into were usually designed for studios, especially during the holiday season. That’s generally speaking, not specific to Streamate.

It is the Brazilian rep for Streamate. I hope SM tells him for from now on that if he plans to recruit newbies to explain them everything. When a model signs up by themselves it is our jobs to understand everything, but when you have a Rep saying all you need to is X but you actually need "xyz" it leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouths. Esp cuz he prolly keeps a % of their earnings or a bigger pay if more models from his country join.

 

[KingMarti]

Payment schedules:
The 21-day payment timeline applies globally and is not linked to earning 5% more or less.

There are a lot of models here that can confirm their % and the payment hold they have (it has been done in models only spaces, people were confused when I told them I had a 21 day payment hold), it is also discussed at length on other sites. Now if these models tell me they are in fact on a 21 day hold then I'll admit I am wrong.

I have even had the opposite confirmed by support (who also confirmed that payment holds are set by region)

(If what you said was true then the response would have been "We not not have 7 day hold for payments", or "the 21 days delay is standard for the site" because region is specifically mentioned it means that this is different for different regions )

and this info used to be on the FAQ blog style pages confirming 2 payment schedules.

In countries where models earn 35% and not 30% the payment hold is 7 days not 21 (a lot of models here were shocked when they found I was on a 21 day payment hold, because the majority are from the USA or the UK where they have a 7 day payment hold) , and recently the USA have access to daily withdraws.

Also, even if it's not % based (which it is, it has been discussed many times here in MO as well as the model section on other sites) saying it applies globally is incorrect and dis-proven by your sites quick faq.



IMO you have now lost all credibility. You say the promo was communicated clearly but you have failed to accurately confirm the sites payment terms. This leads me to believe the complaint that the models in Brazil were mislead with the promotion is most likely true. Also for the record the correct response should have been "I'll have someone look into it and review the messages" instead what you have done is just told all the models that felt they were mislead about the terms that of that agreement that they are either just not smart enough to understand them (which would mean it's overly complicated) or just flat out saying they lying and completely disregarded their concerns.

This delay is required for banking and financial compliance to ensure secure processing of payments.

Also having a hard time believing this one since what you are implying is every other site is non compliant. if this was true then SM would not be the only site having a 21 day hold on earnings. The BS answer support gave me about models who earn 30% having to wait longer because they are in high risk area's for cc fraud was more believable. I have had many discussions with support about this since the faq page that had the info for the 7 day and 21day hold said if you meet requirements you could move from 21 to 7 day, unfortunately you hide the info relating to payments very well (proberly not intentional, just really really bad seo)

Catalina is for real, knowing her for almost a decade I can tell you she’s trustworthy.

I am going to have to disagree.

Just going to clarify that these discussions with support were 1-2 years ago so the payment hold might now be applied to everyone accept the USA (clearly indicated on their faq) now and it could be that models were grandfathered into the 7 day hold, but even if that is true that is something that could have easily been addressed instead of out right denying that there is even a 7 day hold available to some. The responses by Catalina have shown that SM is more than happy to tell models they are lying when there is evidence to the contrary in a poor attempt to save face.

The worst part is, they have a whole banner on wecamgirls trying to bait Brazilian models saying they could make 2k brl on sm rofl with their traffic I doubt it. Esp if they asking girls to keep their prices the lowest possible. And the actual culprit has yet to show his face. Alex??? Where are you? Also, I literally can whipe my ass with 2kBRL. It is not worth to sell your coochie when the min wage here is too close to that

 

[KingMarti]

The worst part is, they have a whole banner on wecamgirls trying to bait Brazilian models saying they could make 2k brl usd on sm rofl with their traffic I doubt it. And the actual culprit has yet to show his face. Alex??? Where are you?

I mean it's not impossible to make that amount. Studios here do the same thing, if a girl in the studio is making $50k a month then the studio advertises what you can make is $50k a month when the average is more like $1k a month, like its possible but only a very small % of people will reach it, so there proberly are a handful of Brazilian models on the site that make that amount but they would not be the average. If sites and studios advertised the average a model earns then no one would sign up

So while there's a lot of things I would ding SM on that wouldnt really be one because it's just common practice to always show the highest rather than the average. Companies do this with sales too "up to 95% off" and they have 1 item they have never managed to sell for 95% off and everything else is 5% off, the 95% off is marketed to get people in the door.
