Streamate Newsletter: October

by Christophe October 23, 2015

written by Christophe

HD720 is here!

Earlier this month we released the HD720 settings files for the FMLE External Encoder! To find out if your equipment is fast enough to run the HD720 settings, visit the FMLE External Encoder page to read more. Follow the instructions there to check your equipment, download the files, and start streaming.

Currently the HD720 files are still receiving the same level of placement as the older “Legacy” HD files. You still have time to play with the files and see if they work with your equipment. Sometime in the next few weeks we’ll be adjusting placement so performers using HD720 will get the biggest placement boost, and those using the older HD files will be right behind them. We’ll let you know when this switch happens.

If you have any issues with HD720, check out the tips at the bottom of the FMLE Encoder Streaming page. You can also contact support for help, or to let us know what you think!

Reminder of New Muscle Category for Women

Last month we added a new category to the front page for muscular women. If you want your profile to appear in this category, click here to go to the Personal Statistics section of your profile. Next to the Build category, select “muscular.” That’s it! After your change is approved, your profile will start appearing in the Muscle category. Please note that changing your build may remove you from another build category you may already be in. Choose the category that best represents your body type!

Social Media Tip: Cammodels

Many of you use social media to promote your shows, and we think that’s great! Social media is a great way to be available to your fans and connect with other performers. Did you know you can also use social media to increase your profits? When sending a link to your Streamate profile, don’t forget about your Cammodels link! If a brand new user signs up for Streamate from your Cammodels page, you will earn a portion of whatever they spend on the site, even part of what they spend on other performers. This is our way of thanking you for drawing in new members! You can read more information on the Cammodels help page.

New Reports Survey

In our last survey, most of you said the Streamate Help site was a useful resource, and we’re happy to hear it! We’ve got a list of planned updates to the Streamate Help site based on your suggestions, so thank you for participating!

Our new survey is all about reports and should only take a few minutes to complete: Streamate Reports Survey

Thanks again for your feedback!

Streamate Newsletter: July

by Christophe July 10, 2015

written by Christophe

A few quick updates for all Streamate Models. Don’t miss the new survey at the bottom!

Coming Soon: HD720 Encoder Settings

For those of you using the External Encoder, we will soon be releasing new settings files to let you stream in an even higher resolution: HD720.

HD720 video is a higher quality than the current HD settings. The video is crisper and more detailed. Because of this, HD720 will become the preferred streaming quality on Streamate.

When it launches, HD720 will have the same placement bonus as the current HD settings. A week or two after the settings are released, we will adjust how placement works; the HD720 performers will have the highest bonus, and performers using the current HD settings will be right behind them. Remember that video quality is just one of the many factors that affect placement (read more about Placement).

We will be sending out more information in the near future, including the technical requirements for running HD720.

Coming Soon: Female Muscle Category

We’re pleased to announce a new Muscle category coming soon for female performers! This category already exists for male performers, and will be available to all performers sometime in the next few weeks. If you feel Muscle describes you better than Athletic or any of the other body types, you’ll want to make sure you’re in this new category!

To update your profile, click here to go to the Personal Statistics section of your profile. Next to the Build category, select “muscular.” That’s it! After your change is approved, you’ll appear in the Muscle category as soon as it appears.

Please note that changing your build may remove you from another build category you may already be in. Choose the category that best represents your body type!

Highest Gold Show Contributor Feature

Our data shows that the Highest Contributor feature is making a big difference! Many performers using it have seen increased spending on Gold Shows as members try to take the #1 contributor spot! If you run Gold Shows, we highly recommend you try out this feature in your next show.

You can read more about this feature on the Gold Show page on Streamate Help. To activate the Highest Contributor feature, all you have to do is check the “Show users the top Gold contributors” option when you set up your Gold Show:[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2474″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Let us know if you need any help with this feature!

Streamate Newsletter: April

by Christophe June 26, 2015

written by Christophe

Here are a few quick updates for all Streamate Models!

Short Survey: Mobile Devices

To help us learn more about you, we may send out brief surveys from time to time. This will help us collect data that could turn into improvements to the Streamate Models site down the road!

Today, we want to know more about your mobile device. This survey is just two questions long and should take less than a minute to complete: Mobile Device Survey

Thanks for helping out!

Group Messaging

We’ve had a really good response to the new Group Messaging tool. A lot of you are using it to help bring more traffic into your rooms! In order to help you understand this feature better, here are a few tips for using Group Messages.

Group messages shouldn’t be too vague. You should include a reason for the member to come visit you. Don’t just say “Come and see me.” Instead, say “My shows have been really hot lately, I’d love to see you there!”

Group messages also shouldn’t be too specific. Don’t say “I’m running a special show at 7pm.” Due to time zones and approval time, members could get your message too late or could miss the show and be disappointed. Instead, say “I’m running special rates all weekend,” or “I’ve been loving Gold Shows lately, come try one out!” You also shouldn’t mention specific member names. Make sure the message will make sense to the whole group.

Your message shouldn’t ask for favors or exchanges. Don’t ask members to favorite or rate you, and don’t say “If I make $100 tomorrow I’ll do a special show!” This is not the purpose of these messages. To prevent possible fraud, these messages will be rejected.

You can read more about the group messaging tool on the Mailbox help page. Group messages may not be available on all accounts. Let us know if you have any other questions about this feature!

Spring Cleaning

Now is a great time to go through your account and make sure everything looks polished! Here are a few ideas for spring cleaning your Streamate Models account:

•Read through the “About Me” section of your profile. Make sure your info is accurate and update your profile text.

Freshen up your photos. Take a new bio pic or add some images to your profile.
Check your Tags. Remove any tags you no longer want on your profile.
Is your video crisp and clear? Check out the Improving Streaming Quality and Speed help page. If you use the External Encoder, make sure you’re using one of our recommended settings files (last updated June 2013).
Is your ranking as high as it could be? Go through the My Ranking page to see if there are any improvements you can make.
Are you charging enough? Try testing out different rates, then use the Rate Analysis tool to figure out what is working best for you!
Refresh your account and keep on streaming!

Let us know if you have questions or comments about the topics in this month’s newsletter.

Welcome to the New Streamate 3.0

by Christophe April 28, 2014

written by Christophe

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today Streamate is releasing it’s new interface and the backbone of it’s future new features. Welcome to Streamate 3.0!

What changed

Streamate mail goal in his important release was to modernize the look and feel of its interface while not alienating its current user base. If you are an existing user, all your favorite features are there, they’ve just have been redesigned and improved. The modernize approach consist of making better use of the space throughout the entire site, bringing focus on the models and consolidating navigational systems where possible. In other word, a new kick ass design;) Streamate now embrace a bold flat user interface with simplified navigation and clean content space. At the same time you will probably realize that the site is now responsive and somewhat modular. Whether you are looking at the site from your desktop, laptop, tablet or even phone you will see the site with an optimal viewing experience no matter what size your screen is. For those of you that have very large screen the change is even more obvious.

New features?

Hell yes! The new Streamate 3.0 comes with a large amount of new features and new redesign for a better experience. Even if you don’t see all the new features immediately, they are all under the hood so you can enjoy better, faster stream. Better video and audio experience and with a new chat redesign you will enjoy a better chatting experience with your favorite models.

You also probably noticed that some elements have been moved around. This is the result of intensive tests with you the users to determine what you were expecting from Streamate. And you’ve been heard:)

The search have considerably improved as well including tags in your search and no more refresh needed on the homepage with the new auto-refresh that shows you live the models that are live and the ones that are not anymore. Those will go away automatically so no more disappointment when you click on a model, you know she’s live.

The user account section has also been improved to make it easier for you to manager your preferences, your favorite models and all your personal information.

I probably forget half of the new features packed in the new Streamate 3.0 but I’ll keep you updated as Streamate releases its new features in the future whether they are totally invisible to the user or hidden in the background. Either or Streamate is making things better for you and for the models. Enjoy![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=”3″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1458503810721-e14436d8-da85-10″ include=”2243,2244,2245,2246″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

What are these tags about?

by Christophe September 1, 2013

written by Christophe

You probably noticed a new feature on the site on each model profile. This new section called “My Tags” is exactly what it means, tags. It allows you to tag a model with specific keywords that are relevant to the mode, her show and whatever you want. Of course tags are reviewed by the Streamate staff, in case you were planning on writing something very inappropriate;) The goal is to help you find models based on those tags. Chances are that if a model has been tagged multiple times for the term “squirt”, she’s probably squirting in her show. It allows you to know in advance what the model is about and what her show will look like. That way you are most unlikely gonna be disappointed. So if you didn’t use that feature yet, go ahead, browse your favorite models or your least favorite even and tag them:) There’s a limit of 5 tags per performer bu no worries, you can also change them anytime you want, delete them even if you changed your mind along the way.
