This discussion revolves around the legitimacy and benefits of working with companies like promotemycam, which claim to offer promotional services without identifying as a studio. Members express skepticism about the potential costs and benefits, reflecting on their own experiences with platforms like Streamate (SM), ImLive, and Chaturbate.
- Concerns are raised about the percentage of earnings that these services might take, with speculation ranging from 1% to 15%, against the backdrop of already feeling that the current platform payouts are too low.
- The conversation touches on the disparity in earnings between American models and those from other countries, highlighting a dissatisfaction with the standard 35% payout, which is even less for non-American models.
- Comparisons are made with other platforms, noting that some, like LiveJasmin, offer higher percentages to models, up to 60%, suggesting a feeling of undervaluation by SM.
- There's also mention of the importance of promotional support and traffic generation to their success, but a reluctance to give up a significant portion of their earnings for these services.
- One member shares their experience of leaving a platform due to low payouts despite high traffic, and the discussion includes references to the challenges of achieving bonus goals on certain sites.
The overall sentiment is one of caution towards external promotion services, coupled with a desire for better compensation and support from the platforms they currently use.
