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 agree with Martis last post. Sorry Dan didn't realize you were a model too who actually had experience working with these people from the models perspective. Good to know.

ETA; I meant the long post Marti made.

It's so frustrating that so many workers in these companies either straight up lie, or don't even know how the company they work for operates. I made a point of always knowing how everything worked, when I worked in service jobs. Then people complain AI are replacing them ... Im sorry but in some cases, that's really not a bad thing.

I had a C4S rep give me completely inaccurate info the other day too. Spent hours trying to get simple info they should have known from a VRBO rep. Not sure I feel like AI replacing some people really is a negative thing anymore. Especially when so many people spread misinformation, and they are supposed to be the authority on it. Kind of sick of this.

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.

I work on token sites and make more than what SM claims I can make there, giving chatgpt my metrics it says I perform better than 150–250% of Latam's market. I don't believe it, they send latam models no traffic and I do understand half of the reasons behind it... USA laws getting harder for models but why would we work there? They clearly want the Brazilian porn share of the market but underpaying and sending us no traffic and telling us to only speak in portuguese ain't gonna do it. They want us to bring the traffic and pay less

Not sure I feel like AI replacing some people really is a negative thing anymore.

The phrase "get good" comes to mind. Like AI can be wildly inconsistent unless it has a very specific task (it's why VideoRankPro outputs are generally good because it's designed to do 1 very specific thing, but even then there is AI variance in the quality). So if something that gives correct information 50% of the time is replacing you, AI is not the problem

LMAO my streams bring people to social media, its never the other way around.

LMAO my streams bring people to social media, its never the other way around.

Same experience here. I do believe that maybe that is not the case for all models on all sites though. But with streamate being pretty much my main and only stream site, that is the experience that I have had also. I think it might be different for token sites. Because I do believe them, when some models claim they get business directly from social media.

 

[Dan Epstein]

Just to be clear, I was never a model Couldn’t quite find my niche.

 

[Ivyhates_u]

I am just going to put it there... A Colombian lady reached out to me and asked what was going because she was about to start working there. I explained... I asked her if any reps from SM had contacted her she said at least 4 people. I don't know exactly who were those 4 people but she was shocked to hear that in Colombia they also have a 21 day hold up of their earnings...

 

[Ivyhates_u]

Also, please stop sending studio pimps to harrass subs on reddit everytime a seasoned girl from there complains they had a dead ass day there, magically a pimp or ghost account will show up with screenshots saying how it is so much better, they didn't need to get naked, made that money only "cursing men" (trying to pivot doms and subs??) While giving the whorephobia air that women who work on token sites are worth less cuz we get naked where everyone can see us. I now trully despise this site.

 

[Ivyhates_u]

I rather the whole world sees my coochie on stripchat or chaturbate, they are more transparent with their models... oh wait, they ain't broke and desperate so they don't need to reach out to any of us. We go there first cuz we know where the traffic is at! Women are not idiots.

 

[Dan Epstein]

I think one of the root causes is that all adult platforms, even Onlyfans, don’t share any data insights with performers and creators as a policy. I mean, if I was into the effort of starting a podcast, YouTube channel, and e-commerce website, I would at least have benchmarks and ballparks to look for. With camsites it’s always a grand mystery. On purpose. They have the data, they can share bulks of it for the greater good. Rage rant over. Mic drop.

I get this. But people on the sites scouting models and not telling basic crucial stuff to their survival as in... how long takes them to get paid... disgusting. Especially because they are targeting women from places where the rest of the world sees us as monkeys who have no food or water.

 

[Ivyhates_u]

And for the usa/uk girls. Although they demmand we speak in our mother tongue with that fixed rate bs... remember, they are trying to flood the site with "cheaper" models and knowing how almost nobody has money nowadays. They will be competing against you for you traffic. Maybe your regular doesn't go to your room anymore due to the many tech issues they have or because they are "saving thay money"

 

[Dan Epstein]

I’m a beat shocked to read all this. I was always looking at Streamate as a calm island in a sea of “they banned me for the 17th time” usual drama with you know who you’re right however, I’ve never experienced the platform, or any as a model. What I do know is that models, are the publishers in these platforms, and should be treated as publishers in any other online content, be it in auction, conversions, or solely traffic. Treat them with the same respect. That’s my moto anyway.

If they said, "hey come work on this site, we will pay you 35%.... oh your from that region, well it's 30% now and btw you have to wait 21 days before we will pay you your earnings", no one would be working there, and they know it, it's why they are never clear on those details when recruiting for new models. As far as I know (and I have been on a lot of sites as a model) SM is the only one that thinks models from specific regions are of lesser value (and for the sm reps that will say thats not true, you are literally assigning them a lower value by paying them less).

As a platform I dont mind SM, I dont deal with rude members etc, but I very rarely ever log in because of the 21 day hold on earnings, like why am I going to work somewhere that wont pay me that money for 3 weeks when I can work somewhere else and have those earnings in my account the following day. The % difference between model regions bothers me more than the % itself, if I had signed up before I left the uk I would be earning an extra 5%. It's fucking crazy to me that I get a higher % as an affiliate than I do as a model.

 

[MarieElise]

@Ivyhates_u with the whole dummy / sock accounts thing, are you guys saying that it's direct employees of SM doing that? Or how does that work? Are the studios down there SM studios?

Sorry to go off center here, I've just always wondered specifically if SM owns and operates their own studios and how that works? Do you know more about that?


I don't know what is going on here. I did read an article about 3 years ago where one of the high-ranking SM employees was talking about how they were "investing in SoUth American Markets", so I knew this was a direction they were taking.

Are the models you're talking about advertised as Brazilian models? I know a model I was friends with, in the past, from Brazil told me she had to do low prices because she was;'t primarily advertised to the US market, she was primarily advertised within Brazil first, as she was based in Brazil herself. Sorry for all the questions, just curious about this, and the details.

Also, I just want to add I have encountered this whorephobia thing, ironically, in some employees of these sites. Hey, don't be a hypocrite, if we're whores and you judge us, don't accept the paychecks we make you then! That rattles my cage. The hypocrisy inherent in that is sickening!

CB might be more ethical if all this turns out to be true. But SC definitely isn't. Just want to warn you about SC.

PUBLIC WARNING — STRIPCHAT ABUSE COVER UP AND ALLOWING ABUSE

I’m absolutely outraged by what I just witnessed — clear, undeniable abuse of a female model, with two abusers and what appeared to be a third individual facilitating and hyping it up on camera.


The model was visibly and audibly in distress. The sounds she made were heart-wrenching. What enraged me even more is that this was being actively encouraged in real time by the audience and the “moderator” of the show.

• I submitted a report directly from the abusers’ profile...

might be more ethical

Streamate tricks people into signing up for eroticmatch which I believe they are owned by the same people.

As always, spot on.
Mfc payment: 20usd min every 3 days.
Chaturbate clearly states in their tos that you need 2 normal waiting periods to be eligible for early payment and after that, paying them 5 bucks is annoying but 12h later the money is NEVER MISSING
Stripchat: I don't like that they don't have early payments, but they pay once a a week and clearly state you need to reach the min of 50usd. By midnight stripchat is sending me money.
Bongacams: similar to chaturbate, if I recall correctly because I passed that a long time ago you need two normal payments to ask for daily pay. And bongacams is trully the only site that has DAILY pay, I hit cash out and In 10mins my paxum is ringing. Even if they pay less to latam models, they don't withhold our money for longer...

I will give you the threads. Mods deleted the pimps but I still have SOME proof (wish I had sceeenshots of the og op message but you all can read the comments and look the profiles if they haven't closed everything)

I started working on streamate in 2022 before they were broke . They were not reaching out to us yet. No tech issues, still many european models, etc. I already found their traffic very different as it usually is anyways with geotaging ones so to MFC I went) but this fix rate proposal started apparently recently because there are no models, members or money. They know Brazil has no porn laws, they know we are not so broke. They know we are the country who most acces tube sites esp after all the recent changes in usa/Europe regarding porn.

 

[Ivyhates_u]

Both of those threads were men posing as woman. Some girls fell for it, I fell for it on the first one. The second one not so much

 

[Ivyhates_u]

The first threat the guy was pretending to vent about a men who did a pvt and was talking about fucking his own mother. Mind you. But claiming they make shit tons of money on sm when we all know that hmmmm.... it is slow and whore shaming token women

I saw the thread about this bdsm page. And I sincerely hope we keep hounding sc so they look into for real. But as I don't know anything about it myself I just stayed away
