does the goal have to be higher than what you have earned ever ? i set my goal for a realistic target - one that i thought would be good to earn regardless of how "well" i have done in the past ..
one that i would be happy with - it is all down to traffic and luck on the day - i didnt want to be dissapointed ..

I FAILED! LOL. That's it. I set an unrealistic goal because I've never tried that account before. I had webcam problems. The bed broke down (after a private, not during, thank god). So, many setbacks! BUT I'm thrilled that I got online on my couples account and earned some money at least. Next time it will go better:)

Overall I made more than I usually make (but I've also worked 4x as many hours), but I did not make my goal. I think I set my goal too unrealistically high since sites are just not busy enough today. I've been up for almost 24 hours now so I just need to sleep.

Today was rough for me...but I did learn that even if I have a super crazy day, I can definitely manage to take some time out to cam and make some money. If my goal was before deductions, I would have been *so close!!!!* That feels good too. Really good!!!!!

Congratulations to everyone for trying, and more congratulations to those who succeeded.

Well I lost this challenge. I should've stuck with my original, lower goal. :( Oh well. At least this got me off my butt and camming again!

Hey, this'll be my first post ever!!!This thread and community has been such an inspiration for me. I too set a lofty goal for myself then life and SM happened. Every time I'd manage to get online and get a good groove I'd either get kicked off or have something come up. Like my oldest coming home with a neighborhood friend for the first time and my hubby with a yucky sickness. Even though I didn't get much time to try and meet my goal it's given me a goal to meet as soon as I can take a break from my sahm duties.
Great job ladies!

I got mine - $22 over with ten mins to spare.... close! But, I'm really pleased that it has proven that actually working a full day (I've logged around 7 hours in total with last night's failings!) DOES pay off. Although I think my bits might need a break now....

Correction lol due to a long pvt at the last knockings I ended up nearly 100.00 over target! ;D Well done to everyone who took part wether you made it or not you stuck it out.

I didn't hit my goal but it kept me motivated to stay through the slow times and I ended up with a nice long private with a potential regular! Plus all the girls in Chatzy have been so helpful and motivational to each other, it has definitely been a fun day. ;)
BlkSharpie
01-17-2012, 06:26 PM
What is this chat thing? I could probably benefit from that...to stick around and stay in front of my computer, cause yeah, when it gets slow, I get bored and start thinking of all the things I could be doing instead, and I know I missed a lot of working hours today all because I wanted to escape just sitting there...
One good thing too, I realized my settings allowed free chat for guys without a cc on file, and I changed that. I bet I chatted with a lot of timewasters today. Is there a way to not do chat at all and only do paid chat on SM, or am I asking too much? lol!

Epic fail for me also :) been sick and didn't get on soon enough to catch the guys before the UK pay period ended, but ended up making some $ anyway so happy about that.
This was kinda fun though, surprisingly fun! I felt like I had some extra company today because I knew a lot of you gals were on too.

Yes, I got online because I was told to stop being a lazy bitch and this worked;D I stopped being a lazy bitch but still, it was an epic fail! As I said I'm really glad that I got online though at all because I've been hardcore procrastinating getting online with my bf. We did it, made some money and it was fun! So PrincessJenny, this still was a good incentive for us because I don't think we would've done it otherwise. It was so much fun in Chatzy too, so overall, I'm not ashamed to admit my miserable fail:D

offtopic but SM had calculated shows that I hadn't been paid for due to their glitches (after I noticed that one show didn't show up and msg'd them) but the $29 in the field "Adjustment Reason: Additional compensation" didn't go through with the last DP payment. Could you send that "additional compensation" with the next DP payment? :)
BritishBecky
01-18-2012, 08:26 PM
^ prob best to email
[email protected] to make sure that gets through!
Glad you are having more luck with SM support than I am! My stats for last week are still missing $60 :(
Kayden
01-19-2012, 05:42 AM
^I said that I have a screenshot (which I did make) and they replied pretty swiftly and then I got a dialog box saying I will have missing earnings refunded.
and the funny thing is I was expecting like $10 for that one show that I noticed but I got $29 which means it has happened before...?
I wouldn't probably want to get all up in arms about this but I'm sure as hell checking my earnings after every show and taking screenshots from now on... ;)

1st Place = T****H*****
2nd Place = N*****M****** lost by 2%
3rd Place = R***D***** lost by 4%
As Hottie managed to predict, theres only one winner.
We have had to scale back the prize as we lost considerable amounts of money due to non re-payments from the loan service.
The prize was double funds (200% pay) which amounted to quite a sizable amount being paid out.
The challenge was the highest earner past their goal. Goals were set high and whoever beat their goal the most won.
AW strangely had its best day since being started. MFC was average and SM was up.
Most people got close to their goal. Everyones a winner though as each contender hopefully put extra effort in on a slow day giving them higher totals than they would normally see.
Thanks

Well done to the winner, I'm crap at codes so I'm not sure who did what lol, nevertheless I know how hard you would've worked. Also well done to everyone that took part and stuck it out, for myself I proved that I can do it if I apply myself and I aint gonna bank if I aint on line! lol

It looks like to me that Princess Jenny was the only one getting the prize out of this challenge...or contest, I guess that's a more fitting word. You all bust your ass and she rakes in the $ percentage - her cut. Just my speculation, idk. Nice hustle though, that's what I would do if I had a studio too. ;)

Thanks Katie. I wasnt going to reply as I know im just being baited again. I did want to point out that dp's profit on that day was less than the prize given out. We always lose money through challenges but it does help lift peoples moral and get them camming again, which would, in the long run make it better for us, but then again it makes it better for everyone involved.

Hayden i'm really surprised at you.
Nobody is forced to use Jenny's studio (and really it's more of a payment service than a studio in my opinion). Everything is out there and fully transparent and nobody has been tricked into joining. I really don't want to wait for my money to come from the UK and at the moment I like the convenience.
Unlike other studios you can leave at any time and there is no penalty or obligation. Also there's the extra promotion (that is really actual promotion unlike some who just make whitelabels and do nothing for their members).
Yeah I'm paying for the convenience. If I were really a penny pincher I'd live in a tent somewhere and save up for years and not pay the huge interest rate on my house payment and never had borrowed money for my car I've been enjoying the past ten years (paid it off in five but yeah lost some $ there for the convenience of the financing).
Also there's the fun and motivation of daily pay rather than waiting weeks at a time for my money. I doubt I'd even sign on there and poof would go my pleasant little income stream I've become used to.
There's really no reason for anyone to use it if they don't want to - all the info is out there to consider for anyone who wants to take a look.

I agree that DP is very useful for a lot of girls who need their money right away. I can't speak for Hayden, but I think some of her personal feelings of unease about DP stem from her being there when many girls realized that 15% of their SM income was being taken. A lot of the girls (myself included, though I am not on DP) had not been doing the math exactly right and thought for every 100 they made they were only giving up 5 when in reality it was 15, this caused a lot of unrest among many models who weren't realizing how much money they were losing.
Again, this is not information that is hidden, PJ provides a great and honest service for those who need it, but Hayden was one of the girls who were very shocked to find they were calculating improperly so I can understand why she might be a little on edge afterwards.
PrincessJenny
01-21-2012, 10:31 AM
Its industry standard to use the gross %, not the net. When someone asks what % does IM take everyone without fail says 15%, noone says 42% (?).
Not one single company in this industry will use the net value when talking about % as it creates confusion. DP takes 5% on SM, people can dress it up in different terms to make it seem more if they want. A full report shows everything here
To use a net % when talking about services in completely misleading. Example again, Justcamit from Adultwork takes 5%, it has never been posted they actually take 7-8%.
On Streamate at min payout with wire transfer noone has ever wrote they take another 20% of your profit to pay you either because these are not the most common (correct method?) methods for doing this.
It is 100% misleading to post DP takes 15% on SM. A full breakdown would be needed to let people know what the 15% is actually from.
Its easier to write:
DP Fee's:
Adultwork:
AW 30%
JCI 5%
DP 6%
Streamate:
SM 65%
DP 5%
It should be fairly easy to see exactly what is being made from the 100%.

I know, I'm not trying to say you were in anyway dishonest about your service. I'm just saying that a lot of the girls were doing the math incorrectly and it caused a bit of a tizzy when they found out.
Yes I understand that it is 5% of the gross, girls were not understanding that that means 15% of the net.

Ive been out of town for the past few days, but I have been thinking about the Tues challenge (which happened to be the only day I was even able to do cam!) but it got me back on cam after so many months away, and starting tomorrow, Im going to make it a point to work every day possible, even if for just an hour, but preferably as long as possible. Anything that gets me in the groove to make money is a good thing! And I really appreciate this, even though I didnt win lol I won in that it got me back into a mode to make money and thats the kick in the ass I needed!
Congrats to the winner, and to everyone who came so close!!!
Thanks Jenny! I think its safe to say, your efforts do not go unnoticed and are well appreciated!
