Welcome to our professional forum where we delve into the nuances of working as a webcam model, particularly focusing on the platform SM. This discussion thread is a rich resource for new models looking to navigate the complexities of what is allowed on the platform and exploring ways to maximize earnings while adhering to the site's policies. Below is a summary of the key points and advice shared by our community members:
- SM strictly prohibits sharing personal information with customers, including Skype names or any other contact details that could lead interactions off the SM website.
- Selling physical items like panties is not allowed, but selling photos and videos is permissible. Payments for these should be processed through the SM platform, using the Gold system, and content can be delivered via download links from anonymous file-sharing sites.
- Models are encouraged to funnel traffic to their SM shows from external platforms like Tumblr or CGC but should avoid directing customers away from SM to other sites, especially for private shows at cheaper rates.
- Integrating with ModelCentro is a recommended approach. This allows models to have their own websites where fans can join. A "Join my official site" button can be added to the model's SM profile for easy subscription access.
- Regarding Amazon Wishlists, it's advised to avoid sharing them with customers to prevent any policy violations on SM.
- Streamate's policy emphasizes keeping all promotional and selling activities within their platform. Models should be cautious about mentioning or promoting external activities, sites, or social media.
- The use of coded language to encourage customers to find models on other platforms without directly violating SM's policies has been discussed, though it carries risks if not the top search result.
- Questions about the confidential phone service offered by SM and whether phone calls are monitored or if it's safe to mention services like Skype through this service were raised.
This summary captures the essence of the discussions, providing valuable insights for both new and experienced models on how to effectively operate within SM's guidelines while exploring opportunities for income growth.
