For You gals that can't sleep, (I mentioned this is the body business section)... melatonin tablets (over the counter), will knock You out in 20 minutes, like You just shot up some heroin. (I never have done drugs, but I would imagine it's like that).
I'm a lightweight when it comes to even aspirin, so I take 1.5 mg., but if You have a higher tolerance, take the 5mg. dosage.
You can get them at the health food store (whole foods, etc). maybe even online.. or a brand called MIDNITE has the 1.5 mg dosage, and has one that adds a pain relief formula also.
I tend to 'astral travel' quite a bit (but that's a whole different conversation), so even after sleeping for 8 hours, I wake up tired, because I've been traveling places while sleeping, that are quite disturbing at times.:alien:
It takes strong coffee, complete silence, and a few hours just to get grounded again.
Forget sleeping pills. They are much too strong, and can be addicting. plus you will need a dr's script for them.

Astral travelling?! You mean dreams? for me dreams are a huge part of my life, it's like a 2nd life, i dream very intense, in colors, feels very real & i sometimes dont even know which world is more real, this one or the dream one lol, like in The matrix movie with the red/ blue pill haha. Anyway, i really wonder what is behind dreams actually, it's scary sometimes, i wish i could have some answers here lol.

^^ Astral traveling is a bit more complicated than that. I'm not going to derail this thread, so, Alice, I'm pretty sure that if You 'google it, something will come up.
I have been doing it since I was a child, and have had several, so called 'holistic' counselors promise that with hypnosis, I could stop. Nothing has worked so far.
The weird thing is that since I started camming, it's getting worse.
p.s. I have never watched the matrix, but if the blue or red pill helps, where can I get them? lol!

Ok, i will google it, about the matrix & the pills, it's complicated for me to explain in english but i try, it's about an idea, if u want to know the truth (about real world) or live in the matrix (fake world), the main character had to decide what he wants, blue & red pills corresponded to these 2 choices.

logged on again late , usually a AM chick
surprisingly made mid daily goal by 345pm est. Failed Gold shows that rolled into freechat tips and privates.
If I do it wrong , my fault, no bitching.
Alice, I do take prescription which is scary , I have a high tolerance, very high.
The last time I went to sleep fast and stayed asleep was leaving a Miami nightclub drunk and walked into a light pole. I was out for the night.
lol @ tude I will keep you in mind. :) I use to Google acronyms all the time

Hi I had asked this on the previous page but not sure anyone saw it cause were on a new page. I was wondering if any of you notice that your hourly stays the same over a long period of time (months) and/or decreases/increases over longer periods. I would just like to know because I am going to track my hourly and report back to see how mine goes. I would love if mine would stay around the same or not fall below a certain number that way I could at least know a little of what to expect. Thanks :)

I saw this and chose to not comment but dont want to leave you hanging.
This is one where I would say as long your consistent then yes but no promises.
I go after weekly earnings. I cant devote a whole 8 hours to camming. Some may think I do, I dont. Hourly would be jacked to hell, I would actually have to be on the exact times , meaning 4 or 5 continuous hours daily to SAY FOR SURE what my hourly is.
Reality your hourly is up to you and your hustle. Every camgirl is different. :) Hope it helps , Im sorry to not be of more help

Mine never stays the same but not in a bad way! It's still a lot more than a lot of people with bachelor and master degrees make!

thanks for not leaving me hanging :) I appreciate that. All of you do help :) I just wondered if most on sm stay about the same . I heard before that they usually stay the same or increase. I am going to try and figure mine out over the weekend as long as it does not fall below 16 I am golden. I have seen an increase though so I am hoping for no decrease ever lol. It helps me to know that when I get on 10 hours one day and it may have been slow then the next day will average it all out. Thanks again.

my salary has gone up weekly, my online time is not near as much as when I began camming
I did pull long hours
I was also building
Tonight was ehhh ok? I made it to a comfortable spot. If I cant cam tomorrow I am cool. We are having ice and crazy winds.
I did privates and my last was a cheap gold just to make the night right
They can lurk, they get tired, tip or go private. I raised my rate a tiny bit , and they didnt flinch.
Hopefully I can cam in the AM

I have really been procrastinating lately I am getting back on cam tonight as soon as my child is asleep she stays up late lol. That has been my main issue I started out trying to do 7 days a week and then I figured 5 days and ten hours a day would get me where I needed to be and also doing 14 hours on thursdays and fridays. That adds up to 54 hours a week. I just hate getting on so late and then sleeping during the day I am really trying to find a medium here. I have someone who watches her but I still just procrastinate I need to get on and just do it because the payoff is amazing and I have so many plans and things to do and camming is making it possible. Camming has changed my life it really has and since camming I have decided to write and I am waiting on some software that I will be getting this september and then writing will be in full swing. If that does not work out I plan on going to school in a few years just for a backup plan but I think if I save correctly I can retire from camming because that is what I really want to do. I think the writing will still bring in some good money too and I have a backup plan that the book "think and grow rich" by napolean hill has taught me. Camming is just so draining for me though I am trying to keep focused on my goals though. Never give up!

I'm in a bit of a conundrum... I'm too ethical for myown good sometimes. This guy says its his first show. We finished the sexy part and now we are just talking but I don't think he realizes hes's still in paid. Help me to not feel bad for taking his money! lol

well that worked out well. He stayed so long he hit his spending limit and wanted to do more but couldn't lol.
However, I just spent like 2 minutes dancing naked in free because I didn't hear a customer leave exclusive. I'm mortified. I do my best to not give anything away in free.

Why? If he didn´t got out, he has to know he´s still in private. You are not supposed to get paid only for sex, your time has a prize. :)

I've been meaning to ask you, Marina, do you feel the Transsexual or Transgender category receives more traffic in general? Or do you only have experience with one or the other? I prefer to be in the transgender category, but I noticed there were a lot more girls in the transsexual category, and associated that with the potential for more traffic. Any thoughts? :)

I can not believe I am about to say this... But... I just had an easy $119 hour at @$1.99/min on a usually slowest hour for me 1pm-2pm... Strategy- tease a hell in free chat till room fills up with 30-40 people, then start spamming $1.99/min VOYAGER private... And boom- 4-5 guys an average in private at the same time... I had 11 at some point... And since it is Voyager I can do whatever I want... Touch a little, moan a little... I can't believe how well it worked... I may have to rework my whole hustling strategy here... Some one tell me I am CRAZY to even be thinking about $1.99 when all I always do is incurable everyone to increase increase increase!!!

I personally don't think so! I've been in the Transgender category ever since I first signed up and I'm happy with it because we have less girls = less competition.

Girl I don't think its crazy or bad if you made $119 per hour. Especially if all you were doing was teasing. It sounds like a hell of a good strategy to do when its slow. I might have to try this, maybe not $1.99 exactly but I think I will try lowing my prices when its deathly slow. Making money at $1.99 is alot better than making $0. Congrats.

That's great! I'm glad it works for you. I was in there initially, but found it totally dead for me. :(
So I had them switch me into the transsexual category, where I had a lot more traffic. I know there are a few TS porn stars in that category (transsexual) as well (can I say that without "outing"?), so I understand what you mean about competition. That said, I generally fare well even when they are live, so...
You make me want to switch back just on principal of the fact that I preferred the connotation, but at least for the time-being we each have our own separate domains to run dutifully. ;-)

Does anyone know if Streamate will delete your account without warning if you can don't stream for a certain amount of time? I've logged into my account as recently as a few days ago to check messages, but today it was completely gone. No email or anything. I sent support a message but have not gotten a response yet. I was planning on working tomorrow, so I am not happy.

Thursday night I had guys getting disconnected from private shows. Every single one of them came back, so it worries me because of the sheer number (about 75% my customers had double private entries from disconnects). Clearly they weren't cheap scum bags trying to get a few quick minutes and making excuses.

It wasn't just that I couldn't log in; when you tried my cammodels link or did a search by my name on Streamate, my profile was not there. They fixed it, but I am not sure what happened. They didn't say, although I haven't cammed on Streamate on this account ever.

Same here Sammi. I had one guy who kept re-tipping for my gold show after it started. He came back afterward and told me he missed the whole show. I couldn't respond because someone took me exclusive. After that, I saw his name in my room 3 times. I kept trying to tell him to message me for a video but he never responded. Guys would leave while I was talking to them too. And it was way slower than an average Saturday.

This has happened to me all week long. No one is staying in my room. In and out. In and out. I don't understand this. But to be honest I can't afford to sit for long. If my phone rings it could be money. If my skype goes off it could be money. But this week I have sat for hours with guys in and out of my room. Some say hello and others I can't even get a chance to say hello.
There was an unusual amount of people hopping in/out of my free chat today. And guys leaving right after asking questions, before I can answer. This started happening like 10-20 minutes ago. It's 30 minutes until the pay period cut-off so maybe it's glitching because a lot of girls are on. A guy also told me that he's had a lot of issues with the site today. I don't usually have issues (*knocks on wood*) but I can't say for certain if it's the site or just me. Hmmm. I'm going to reset my router just in case it's on my end but I really don't think it is. Or maybe I just got ugly overnight ... Lol. No, jk ... But seriously, ugh.

I was honestly so nervous about how dead SM was last night for me, people were jumping in and out of my room also.
I lowered my premium rate to $1.99... no privates. Then I take a break and raised my rates to $5.04 premium and $5.99 exclusive (that's as high as I can go for now) and I got privates plus a long fetish niteflirt call from a sm client. I'm soo right happy now! I'm going to take a quick break and then it's back to work for me!

Streamate has been great for me. Was laggy a bit at first but once I restarted my laptop it was fixed.
Seems to be a LOT better now that the holidays are over though. Getting a lot of guys in for really long exclusives, and lots of guys in private and staying in there for a good chunk of time. If anything it's picked up, not gotten slower. (For me at least)

03-09-2014, 07:36 AM
I also had a glitch, about a half hour before cut-off time yesterday. A repeat came into exclusive, but I could see guys popping into my free chat zone. I had been on for about 7 hours straight at that point, with no problems, so I think it was just a matter of sm having too many models online at that time.

What's your computer specifications? I would say if you have great upload speed it's doable with an i3 but i5 and i7 are more ideal! It's time for a new computer, bb!
