For me it's Wednesday, but I think it's because I often take it as a day off so people who only log in on that day have other regular ladies and my regulars don't expect me so don't look out for me or save their pennies for me on a Wednesday.

Holy fucking shit I've never had a worse day ever on cam period. wow. but every single thursday is wack.
I'm usually averaging like $45-$55 lately but a whole hour and $3 the fuck is this shit. and every single dude goes priv less than minimum to not pay and nah i don't do sht cuz i know about that time limit so wtf.
every single fucking thursday is hella wack but this is just next level shit here.
I need to go back to nights when I am not dancing or doing other sht. Nights are so much better F this.

^^Yeah, it's been really dead for me. Tues are my worst days and I take them off, but Thurs usually suck too. My only really good days are Sat and Sun. The rest of the week is just a pain in the ass to sit through.
And now I'm on page 2. Shit, hardly any traffic at all and a couple level 2s and a level 3 didn't even do shows. I'm kinda gettin ready to just log the fuck off lololll.

When/after you upload videos, is there anyway to reorder them, or move them around?
I'm procrastinating terribly here, I don't want to upload my best first if they end up shoved to the bottom of the pile, and that's making me obsess over what order should I actually upload in....
I would like to know this too, showing six on the front page is rubbish if you have more than that. AFAIK Manyvids is the only site (I'm on anyway) where you can shuffle the order of your clips however you like. It's such a simple idea but really works to 'recycle' older content! It's really a missed opportunity on sites because more sales = more money for the site.

Yeah excuse my negativity. I guess I just don't say much when it is great then bitch nonstop when it is bad. I also have very little patience so sometimes the same time I am bitching about it is slow slow slow then it gets great soon after.
It really is a horrible habit I have to work on.

When a customer asks "Where are you from?" (I'm in the USA), personally I feel they will NOT go to private they want a meet up and keep asking what part. What's your experience? It makes me feel ugly, they want to hook-up in real life but not spend 1 cent.

I mean you could be a perfect 10 and losers will still somehow feel entitled to meet up and fuck for free rather than spend to not fuck. I think these dudes are fucking delusional.
And then the guys that spend but don't like that you are all biz will complain about your personality to you and everyone else hahaha.

Glad to hear your day got better. I laugh when people think camming is “easy money” ha ha ha.
I don’t know if there’s any rhyme or reason to these guys. I think we try to make sense of why guys buy or don’t buy and it drives us crazy. All we can do is GTFO and STFO and hope for the best. At least for me, I think I overthink why guys aren’t buying. Is it cause of this and that. And the truth is it only takes one horny guy with a credit card and a hard on...lol!

I don't sell a lot. Mine are $25.99 & you get 50% I use them as incentive for block sessions. I prolly sell 2 or 3 a month, but get blocks more often because of them.

That is also been my experience. They're going room to room asking 'where are you from?', hoping you're in the same town, same city so they can meet and fuck for free. The question isn't always the problem. The problem is the intend. One of the greatest gift of being a Hoe is having a strong 'Bullshit Meter'. They think we're bunch of nymphomaniacs doing this just for dick and not because we have bills to pay, mouth to feed. Their stupidity is overwhelming.
More to add: I love when they popped in and just goes 'where from' 'location', 'where you live', 'where r u from'.
I just love questions without question marks. I don't have much tolerance for minimal effort.

i don't feel like a new guy asking "where are you from" automatically implies how his behavior will be (i.e. a spender or freeloader). it's a pretty common "small talk" question, so i welcome it because i like having little conversations to feel out the vibe with a new person before going into a show. i have plenty of guys who know "where i'm from" who spend tons. i have a fake state i say i'm from that's in the same time zone as my actual state. sometimes i'll just say "west coast" and that usually satisfies their curiosity as well.
it's pretty rare for me to get guys who are really pushy for location details. if they do, especially if they're new, i give them one chance to shut up and i tell them "this isn't a dating site and i'm not an escort, so why do you care?" if they keep pushing i just block them. if it's a regular i've had for a while who is turning delusional about meeting up, i have zero tolerance for this [and i frequently make this known] so i also block and move on.
i'll also note: i *never* lead a guy on into thinking we might meet up someday. you can state your general location and make it very clear you have no interest in ever meeting anyone. i've seen some girls who say they hint at the possibility (or flat out say "yeah one day we'll totally meet) just to rake in as much money as possible, especially with regs and i HIGHLY advise against this. this is what creates creepy stalker behavior, where otherwise-nice customers end up thinking it's okay to figure out where you live and show up at your doorstep with flowers, with zero comprehension of boundaries or privacy. [that's from a story i read on an MFC forum long ago. big fat nope from me.]

it's always fun to call out the guys who legitimately clicked on your page because of some bullshit "local hottie wants to fuck you now!" type of ad on a porn site... it's like, "did you truly think i was broadcasting from your tiny tumbleweed town no one has heard of, because i'm just so horny and desperate for some dick tonight?" it's hilarious and on the nights i'm feeling sassy i will totally respond with something like that when a new guy asks "where u from bb?"
i also have very low tolerance for shorthand text and lack of complete sentences. i enjoy telling them to use their big boy words and have some fucking manners. most will leave after i say that, so it's a nice way to filter people out. for me i consider it a win if a douchebag leaves on his own accord without me having to lift a finger to block him. :)

Me as well, it's no secret where I'm based. I've even given guys hotel suggestions for their holidays and talked about pubs in my home town. I've got a pre-written warning message for people who push things over the line and suggest any kind of IRL interaction. Some guys just like to feel familiar.

So I have to rant about recent streamate placement algoritm. They're keep saying bullshit that it's based on clients preferences blah blah. But since they've made changes and they make placement also by location my earnings dropped 90%. Placement for non logged clients was really important based on my personal experiance. Most of my traffic was from US and I am from central europe what put me on page 16th-18th rn for US and I can barealy make any money. I think I am gonna change the site after many years being here. I feel robbed and segregation on the basis of origin in just unfair. I worked so hard to be in the place where I was and it was taken from me just like that.
So if there are ppl from Streamate support here - BRING BACK OLD PLACEMENT ALGORITHM!

So I have 2 ways of dealing with the "where u from bb?" question..which I get 400 times each shift.
I have one "pre typed" response that says "I don't give out personal information". - which I also use when asked if i'm married/have kids/work etc.
The other answer I'll give if they are really persistent is I'll answer "I"m from earth". That usually shuts them up and they either laugh or leave.
Always works.

Last night was the first time my lovense ferri toy ever died mid shift. I will say it was working impeccably all night, no issues, then all of a sudden it stopped reacting to tips. I checked the app and sure enough the battery was nearly completely empty. It had been on constantly for about 3.5 hours which seems reasonable to die at that point. It got a lot of use throughout the night.
I'm wondering for those of you who do long shifts with tip vibes in, do you take it out periodically to charge it mid-shift? Like maybe during exclusives or something when you're not actively wearing it? Or do you have multiple tip vibes in case one dies?
I'm afraid to turn it off during every show to conserve energy when it's not being used, since it can be so tricky sometimes to get it to reconnect.

I have 73 videos for sale. Have made about 300 in my porn past. All full HD and some 30 minutes long.
I sell them all as a bundle for 50 golds but on top of that I probably make $50-$70 a day when camming and even sell a few on my days off.
I don't charge much for them, the solos are $10 and the B/G are $15. But they sell and that's the main point. No effort on my part as they were already made.

More than likely your internet isn't stable. Could be a number of issues from bad cables to connectors to a bad modem (sometimes they need replaced or reset). If it's happening often I'd call your internet provider to have things checked. I don't have any issues with my bitrate unless my internet is acting up...and usually a modem reset fixes it.

Does anyone know if there's a way to delete archived messages in the messenger mode? I feel like the messenger never works properly and I get messages in each different folder, especially archived from years ago and its just a mess. I want to delete literally everything except current message I want to keep and see.
Also, does anyone else notice more times than not, the messages in messenger don't appear? I see my new messages like once every ten days pop up dating back to two weeks ago. Each time I click "newest" it says "NO CONVERSATIONS". This has been ongoing for months now, its getting old.
