I don't even believe that exists. I feel like its just people making excuses. Here's why:

Oh its summer!! Its the summer slump!!
Oh its September, guys are just busy with getting their kids back in school and all settled!!
Oh its October, guys are just being careful with their money because they know the holidays are coming up!
Oh its November! Holiday month! Thanksgiving, black friday, Christmas shopping!!
Oh its December! Super slow, its Christmas time! A lot of guys are traveling back home and are stuck with their kids at home for 2 weeks.
Oh its January! Guys are paying off Christmas debt and their kids are still at home! Slow slow slow!
Oh now its February! Valentines Day. Forced to spend time and money with their wives.
Oh its March! Tax season is next month so guys are holding on to their money at least til their returns are completed! Slow slow slow!
Oh its April! Tax month! Many of our men are self-employed and will owe a ton! And guys who aren't probably didn't get as much back as they thought! Slow!
Oh its May! Kids are getting out of school soon and the guys must be busy!
Oh its summer again!! Its the summer slump!!

Camming is different than a strip club in that guys can access it 24/7, unlike strip clubs. I believe in season with strip clubs, but not cam because of this.

IA with this.

And tracking your work days for good days or bad days. I don't do this because camming is sooo sporadic. It is never exactly the same or consistent day in/day out. I see some girls getting in the mindset of "XXX day is always slow for me" or whatever day they "choose". BAD. Stop doing it. Every tuesday or whatever - you will wake up saying to yourself "I'm going to have a shitty day today." And then you will.

And pleeease stop hanging out in 'Camming sucks right now thread" I understand its purpose for venting - it's not a bad thread. But don't read anything else. Just post your vent and run out. If you read other people's negativity it will rub off on you and you'll be feeding the beast. Bad cycle. Keep your mental health and focus on the positive.

I firmly believe that if you see a sports game on TV, you are going to assume it will be slow. You log in and it will be SLOW. Because you attracted that. If you think it will be slow because of other circumstances, it is going to be slow. Just.... log on and expect money. That is the best mindset. Forget about the rest. Slow days will happen but good days will happen too.

Thank you! I speak spanish :) I can write pretty good, but my spoken english is awful, maybe because I feel insecure speaking aloud, since I donīt practice it very often (well, now I do :D)

My boyfriend speaks spanish and his family. I feel insecure speaking it aloud to them also. So I don't very often. Maybe if I tried harder to not feel insecure about it I could speak spanish to the guys that speak that language. I think that would be cool. :)

I am not a law of attraction girl in the least but I do believe in the science of microexpressions.

When it comes to Streamate, I just show up at and put the time in and I try to have as much personal fun as possible. I don't focus on the money. I don't focus on the time. I focus on having fun.

If it is a day that the money isn't flowing then I am at least going to have a good time while going broke, right?

To me, in this job microexpressions are everything. If I am genuinely having fun with a devil-my-care it ends up attracting many people to my room because they can see by my body language and face that I don't give a shit and it gives the appearance that I am not there for the money which of course makes them want to give me money because of my 'realness'

Take a day to record yourself while you are working and at the end of a your shift take a really close and hard look at what your facial expressions and body language are saying. You might just be surprised.

It's funny you said that about recording yourself because I did that yesterday. My time on cam started out great. I watched myself smiling and having fun for the first hour. After that things started going downhill. I let a few douchebags pull me down and I went into a bad mood. Guess what happened. Yes, I stopped getting shows. Watching myself later, I could see why.

So today I decided I'm going on to have fun no matter what. What a difference! I was so busy I made twice as much as yesterday and I had a blast.:D

how do you record urself with the encoder i tired doing that yesterday and either it wasnt doing because i did something wrong setting it up or i cant find the file location on my comp

the attitude thing is sooo true. yesterday i was dreading getting on all day and i think guys could see how frustrated i was just being on cam and in 2 hours i had made exactly 3 dollars. soooo, i took a break then told myself im just gonna get on camera to have fun, screw the money. next thing i knew , i had made 45 dollars in like 20 minutes with a crazy long private, and it was fun ! :O:D

I don't like the LOA because I have a problem with pseudo-science. Usually when people try to defend it scientifically they start talking about quantum theory etc. but we don't understand those processes well enough to defend something like LOA.

Unless someone is complaining endlessly all the time, I don't think there's anything wrong with speculating on slumps either. It doesn't mean you throw your hands up and don't work, but if a top girl notices that her earnings wane every summer and skyrocket every Xmas, it makes sense to pay attention to those patterns.

so I don't know how it happened but all day today when I log in I'm on the second page. I hope I stay there when I log on I don't know how I did it I am using the encoder now but damb really second page?

I logged on this afternoon. It was a little slow but I did get shows then this jerk rates me a 1 when he said he liked the private then said something about me not doing something that I did and after that I was so upset. I logged off cried a bit then dried my tears and went back on and got more shows with my regulars and some new customers. Just taking a break and regrouping helps so much. Then tonight I went back on and got a 3 rating when I could not put a 10 inch dildo all the way in my kitty! I was upset again but I stayed on and a regular came on and took me for a long exclusive. We cannot let the arseholes ruin what could be a good thing.

Awww I'm so sorry that happened to you. Customers can be so dumb sometimes. But you can always try to get the ratings removed, I did that for the first time the other day and it worked like a charm. :)

when do you guys log off its slow? i dont have gold shows so thats out of the question. ive been having this bad about of staying on for hours and hours and i burn myself out. thursday i spent 6 hours in free chat and made nothing and everyone wanted to see my ass for free and it was just frustrating i ended up just taking friday off and just uploaded clips and got my clip for sale activated. i want to not be impatient and log off too soon but after an hour i lose my patience. i have like no middle ground its like i either wanna give up too soon or push too hard too long and burn myslef out for nothing. i have taken into considering that maybe i dont have what it takes to cam even tho i think i do. if i cant start making 100$ a day in September in oct im getting a vanilla job. and i wasnt even asking that much on thursday i was at 2.99 and i was told to try an raise my rates because some ppl ur show sux if u charge that little so they dont wanna play so i raised them to 3.99

your show does not suck if you charge 2.99 , another cam girl myth that ppl take wayyyy to seriously.

I know a cammodel that charges 2.49, something like that, under 3.00, no goldshows and she is bringing in 3k weekly for minimum pay. <--- she has dozens come into her chat, and work her out. When she goes higher, she doesn't make as good. for some ppl it works, some it does not. It definitely does not mean your show sucks. (maybe not dozens but she has a good amount, and her exc is 4.99)
another thingy , she is a model for a studio in Arizona since b4 gold shows rolled out. :D

What i do not know is the times she works. We compared earnings for someone,
me ,that runs gold shows, medium prices
( to her they are high, me they are medium)
and her who does not run gold shows and only does private vanilla shows.

She does work daily

^^^ I worked 2 days at 2.99 and I changed today because I was so used to the 3.80 in other site I was starting to get the "im worth a lot more" thoughts. Im not yet sure if its working better but Im sticking to it the next 2 days and will compare!

when do you guys log off its slow? i dont have gold shows so thats out of the question. ive been having this bad about of staying on for hours and hours and i burn myself out. thursday i spent 6 hours in free chat and made nothing and everyone wanted to see my ass for free and it was just frustrating i ended up just taking friday off and just uploaded clips and got my clip for sale activated. i want to not be impatient and log off too soon but after an hour i lose my patience. i have like no middle ground its like i either wanna give up too soon or push too hard too long and burn myslef out for nothing. i have taken into considering that maybe i dont have what it takes to cam even tho i think i do. if i cant start making 100$ a day in September in oct im getting a vanilla job. and i wasnt even asking that much on thursday i was at 2.99 and i was told to try an raise my rates because some ppl ur show sux if u charge that little so they dont wanna play so i raised them to 3.99

I have to make a bare minimum of a certain amount of money daily to be able to afford eat these days so logging off early just isn't an option for me. If it is slow and everyone is driving me crazy then I don't get angry. Instead I will just take my camera off my face and just pretty much completely ignore my free chat completely until I feel ready to deal with the freeloaders again.

Now you know why I always posting on Stripperweb so much. The majority of the time I do it....I am 'taking a mental health break' and ignoring everyone in my free chat. LOL!

Today FUCKING SUCKED for me. (I know this ought to belong in Camming SUCKS right now, but it's specific to Streamate so I'll post it here.) Did anyone else find things especially slow on the perceived basis of Labor Day? I think it may be actually the worst day of my entire camming career. All week, I was making $80-$100+/hour, which was very very good for me. Today, over the course of 3 hours, I made $56.00. I am not used to making anything less than $50/hour, on a really bad day. So WTF happened today? This makes me panic. Really badly. I have a lot of major expenses coming up, and I really needed this weekend to work. I really hope tomorrow gets better. I truly do not even know how to process or make sense of this evening. Can anyone else relate? I was SO frustrated and there were so many cheap assholes. Ugh! One guy said "your rates must be so high because you have to support your alcohol and pill habit." Normally, no one complains about my rate, and I don't have an alcohol or pill habit... I just get really apathetic when things are slow like this.

I know a cammodel that charges 2.49, something like that, under 3.00, no goldshows and she is bringing in 3k weekly for minimum pay.

Given a SM model gets around 35%, the said girl is earning $2.49х0.35=0.87 for a minute in pvt. It means, that, to bring in $3000 a week, she has to spend in pvt 3000/0.87 = 3448 minutes or (57,5 hours) a week, which makes 8,2 hours a day with 7 working days a week. These are her hours in PVT(!), actually doing shows (!), not just online. OMFG. That girl deserves a monument.

Hi girls!!! Any of you have blocked countries or cities?Because then means not appears in filters or searches :(((( and very less costumers,i blocked my country and i dont have never more than 8 guys in the room,so with that i cant do gold shows....for only 6 guys...

I worked only two days,and yesterday i make 200 bucks but i worked 6 hours,so that means little more than 30 hours....but adarksideoftown how is possible make 100hour,you have to be all the time in private? I dont split with any other site.
Thanks in advance girls and have a good camming today!!!

that is the average dollar amount cam girls make when they pull 2000 weeks IMO and it entails having good traffic finding ur sweet spot with ur rates and having good placement by having a high percentage in paid chat time witch requires having a warm inviting sexy fun atmosphere and a good hustle and knowing what to wear that attracts the best customers for you .

I haven't been able to work for a while - my computer died and then I had crappy internet.

I can't log onto my account I guess it has been suspended. Can I open a new account?

I want to completely change my profile. I had a four star rating due to a regular who got nasty when I wouldn't give him personal details he would join privates after they had started, always under a different name and leave me 3 star ratings.

If she can keep multiple guys in there for longer periods of time, then she can make more in less time. Still, that's a lot of work! I'm sure she is working her junk off.

Well, with rates that low, she probably often has more than one guy in private. If she always had two guys in, that would mean 28.75 hours, etc etc. But she still must work a ton of hours.

They usually don't cancel it until it's been at least 90 days since you logged on. But if you're suspended, you can still log on. Just e-mail support and ask them what's up.

That sucks. If I was STILL not making money at $2.99/min, I'd take a serious look around. What page are you on? I'd also be taking a look at changing my hustle. I mean, it was super dead for me this week, but 6 hours with $0??? That's unheard of.

Were you taking breaks in there or just staying on for 6 hours? Honestly, if I went an hour with $0, I'd take a nice long break. If I signed back on and still made no money in the next hour, that would probably be it for me for the day, or at least for several hours.

You had to just look miserable after a while, and probably quite worried. None of that helps your sex appeal. There's no way I'd work 6 hours and make $0. I know everyone has to pay bills, and a lot of girls have restricted hours, but staying on that long and making no money will hurt your placement, which in turn further limits your earning potential. SM may not have a cam score like MFC, but the FAQs specifically tell us that staying on when we're not making money will not help our placement.

I've never been disconnected like that the whole time I've worked for Streamate. I got disconnected about five times. I was bummed out yesterday, but thankfully Friday I made 192.00 in two hours so that helped my mood.

i dont think it is not for you anyway i hope this doesnt come off as racist as you were just bashed for it but because ur not american and have our own country blocked off and no where in america blocked off it may not be as detrimental to you having geo block on as it would if you were american because a huge portion of the traffic is american. and i dont even have the gold show option ... lol

My boyfriend speaks spanish and his family. I feel insecure speaking it aloud to them also. So I don't very often. Maybe if I tried harder to not feel insecure about it I could speak spanish to the guys that speak that language. I think that would be cool. :)
They would apreciate it, even if your spanish isnīt very good, Iīm sure they would love to hear you trying. (even thought generally, hispanic public who pays, knows a little english)
Anyways, having more than a language is pretty useful :)

Crazy hours, poor girl but... Wait. I keep seeing in my earnings just the 30% is this because Im new and stuff or there are requirements for the extra 5%?

it depends because ur placement is a "formula" based on ur net speed ur comps specs (yes they can tell they probably have a way to pull the info off that menu you see when you right click properties on ur my computer in windows) ur time in paid percentage (how many min u have been in gs's/premium/exclusive vs free chat) and how long youve been on sm. i honestly dont know if its how long youve been a member of the site or how long youve been logged in that day or over a certain length of time maybe both? hopefully someone else can clarify this part of it for us . obvi id like to know too lol .

Wow! I pray to make that much.. How much are you charging.. I dunno who you are .. but can i copy you?? I am thinking if i can just make 40 bucks an hour consistently i would be doing so good i might shit myself..LOL

I charge $6.99/min for Exclusive Chat, $7.99/min for Premium Chat, because I hate crowds, and a lot of the guys appreciate that I enjoy/provide a more personal experience. Sure, I'd make more at that rate if I did Premium, but it's just not for me. And usually I get surprisingly long privates (sometimes an hour+, which I suspect would happen a lot more often if SM didn't have a 'daily limit') but last night was just shit. The reason my rate is what it is is because I realized that when I had it down to $4.99, there were still times when I could go a half hour, or on rare occasions, an hour (never 3 for fuck's sakes) without a private. So whether I had it at $4.99 or $6.99, my percentage of time in paid chat didn't really differ at all, overall. I also (generally) have more respectful customers that way, and at least when guys do short, inconsequential privates, I know they're paying through their ass for their nonsense 5 min 'visits'. At 30%, those $10 add up, even if I go a while without an extended private. Last night was just weird because I literally had NOTHING.

I genuinely thank you for letting me know, because for a moment there, I was thinking it was over for me. I know that sounds melodramatic, but a bad night can be surprisingly traumatizing. Especially because there's no possible position I can be in while still looking flattering on cam that will allow my body not to ache TERRIBLY when required to maintain that position in free chat for extended periods. My neck still bothers me today. I hope today might be a little better... unfortunately, I owe rent and back-rent next week, so I don't have the option of not working over the weekend. I really hope it returns back to normal, for both of us, and for anyone else who has had this problem. 16% time in paid chat last night... I'm sure that isn't going to be good for my placement. Every other day last week was 60%+.

Honestly, I have been playing around with SM a long time 2009 like I said before i was on page 6 all the way to page 10.. the placement is a majority of ONLY time in paid chat. everything else is just fodder. If you have alot of time in paid chat.. You are at the top!.. when you have less time you sink more and more to the bottom of the pile.. that's it.. all the other stuff?? only matters about 1 percent. I dunno if i am paranoid or what?? but I also noticed if someone rates you 1 star you go down in placement like immediately?? anyone else notice this?
