^ Yeah, there was something def. not right on SM today. I was on for an hour, hundreds of guys came into chat, yet no prvts.. That usually never happens to me. Hmm..:thinking: So I logged out, lowered my rate to .99 cents per minute (Lol), and still...Nothing!
It's a mystery, because my rates have been lower than usual just so I can make something on there when I log in.
I logged out, regrouped, came back, raised my rates a bit, and FINALLY got back to back prvts/exclusives.
Naturally my last custie of the day, is a total prick, and rates me a 4. Geez, can't win for losing./:O

Terrible. I was on for 5.5 brutal hours and there's no way I'll admit what I made!

This made me laugh out loud, not laughing at you, laughing at myself because I thought it was me. I was so worried it was me that I was 10 min away from dumping bleach on my hair. You just save me. $200 short of my goal this week and it was a very low goal. :-(

I could have made more panhandling, hell I should have started doing that in FC.

Oh lawd I don't know how you ladies stick it out! Around the 60 minute mark of free chat I start to lose it! If It's dead for an hour I usually write it off as a 'slow day', sign off and work on photosets or videos. I get so pissed off at the fact it's 1 hour I could've been somethig else, basically lose my positivity

Having a slow day so far. Slept in and missed the morning rush and now I'm making 1/2 of what I was hoping to by now (and I'm on the third fucking row). Taking a break to improve my mood and getting back on in a few hours with a new goal.

I take enough sedating herbs to put down a freight train.. it's the only way to cam.. I have never smoked pot and I do not like to drink alcohol anymore...LOL... and you are thinking about it the wrong way.. YOu get noticed when you are live.. they are saving you in their fav's for later... get some relaxing herbs .. and chill out.. so fucking works for me.. I cannot live without them on cam now.. I only use them for cam.. haha

Successful people have clear concise goals for their future. That's what makes them work 40 hours a week. You need to work TOWARDS something. Fantasize and get inspired of how you want your future to be. Camming is not the end-all , be-all. It's a stepping stone to the future you REALLY WANT. It gives you GREAT opportunity. Harvest it, sow your seeds. The entire time I am on cam I am thinking about how awesome my future is going to be, because I logged on...Goals get people their dreams and make them a reality. What's your dream? That's what you get on cam for.

ugh, i know this post is a couple of weeks old but it was the kick in the ass i needed this afternoon! been bummed out about traffic but remaining positive! thanks :)

Here is what I am upset about...MGF long rant..

A few months ago, MGF officially banned any pee/poo content. They sent an e-mail out reinforcing the rules and stating anyone that had that content needed to delete it and was not permitted to sell it anymore.

The other day, I get a guy that asks me if I had that content - because I just blacked them out on my page instead of removing the whole slide of what I had. He was an established customer on the site, not one of those that just say well everyone else is doing it... My videos I HAD of it were only a minute long total, nothing major at all..

and I told him that he was mistaken, that we aren't allowed to sell it anymore. He literally sat there for the next five minutes and gave me names of the girls that were still selling it. Now granted as I said, my videos were not that long but I could still bank $40 off the two videos if someone wanted them. I am upset because MGF is pretty lax about a good bit these days, and strict on other things which I really enjoy.. but from what I understand, not only is it on the site selling but girls are linking guys to download it.

and these broads are still running around with the sales of it, when we were told to take it down. I even looked in the rules, and it's right there..

It just burns my ass to no degree when girls blatently disregard the rules, especially the rules that were mass emailed and messaged to everyone. I was happy when they finally cracked down - because MGF was turning into a place that's all guys wanted anymore at the time. I know the girls who solely did that, left the site and went elsewhere.

Another thing - WHY is it that when these girls get slow, they shut down their old account and make a new one JUST to get new girl status again... So, if you are at a 80% payout, why would you go back down to 65% again? Stick it out and don't fool the guys into thinking you are someone totally different when you are selling the exact same content you were on your old name.

Many of us have enough trouble in the money struggle as is... and that's not fair..

Irritates.the.shit.outta.me. Fix your damn face! Just stop - do not pass the dick go, do not collect the wallet and $200.

Now I feel better... thanks for reading. lol.

I don't even know what to say about today.. EGADS!.. I couldn't take enough sedating herbs.. god how irritating.. I might be getting close to PMS.. and I am not taking my usual herbs.. but?? it seemed like a FREELOADER paradise.. not only that but they all want to chit chat for lengthy convos in free chat.. that tells me they are broke.. I was so confused why there were sooo many of these types of guys today.. uggh... even though I surpassed my midrange goal.. sure didn't feel like it...

Lol right! So absurd. He then tried to follow-up with questions like "What's your boob size" and "What won't you do in bed?" BLOCKED.

Another gem from SA: Guy is the kind of person you would find on ROK. His profile is a novel filled with his various 'needs' and 'requirements.'

Examples: (direct quotes!)
"I need you to be very sexy and fashionable for me (lot's of red lip stick, tight clothes and high heels)"

"I want and need a tender and caring woman --not a hard ass broad. I need a lady on the outside and an insatiable wild cat behind clothes doors."

"In exchange for what I stated above I will provide you with a beautiful wardrobe for my weary eyes and lots of high heels and help with many of your expenses."

He messaged me, and I replied to see if maybe he's just wordy or something. After a few msgs, I asked him about his monthly budget. Obviously I need to know if he is actually willing to give anything in exchange for his high list of borderline-unrealistic demands.
This is what he said:

"Explain to me your thinking of what a budget is and what's it for? For me I don't think of my generosity as a budget as I have with my businesses but am much more inclined to be of assistance specific to cetain needs, desires or requests."

Sorry but I'm not gonna waste my time waiting around for some maybe-money. I don't want to hang around forever having some guy give me little snippets when the 'mood and the moment is right.' Ugh! I'm giving this site one more month, then I'm finished with it!

I actually made more money today than I did on Sunday and Monday.. but not by much.. BUT!.. I got a 1 star rating , 4 star rating and only 2 5 star ratings.. so I feel brutalized sitting at an average rating of 3.75 today.. I did email customer service to remove the 1 star rating because it was totally unwarranted .. and that was my FIRST show .. so that set the tone .. and I asked every single person to rate me and only got 2 people ...LOL.. so it was probably the most unhappiest day I have had in a month!.. I even cried! And I think I yelled at the room once! and then I quit doing shows with newbies.. only regulars but they NEVER showed up!

Oh, I lost it at my room numerous times today and my banhammer was out in full force. Called it quits after 2.5 hours to save my sanity. The odd thing was that I had REALLY high traffic, but all of them were cheap, demanding, rude a$$holes. I'd rather have low traffic with paying gents any day.

11-11-2014, 11:19 PM
Yup is going very slow...2 days in a row!!! 0$ on streamate yesterday in 4 hours and today 4$ in 4 hours!!
WTF???
I don't even get how that happens..the traffic is very very slow and the guys don't even talk.
This is so shitty knowing in other days I make hundreds!!!!
I mean..I wish I could have a minimum income/day stable.To know that in a slow day I make let's say...a minimum...but to be made for sure!
And it's annoying because every day is a gamble.The worst thing is that I have top equipment, professional photos,I do look great on cam and put in pretty good hours...
In the last 3 weeks i have put less,I know but in general I stay on cam 5-6 hours at least.
So pissed off!

Agreed with all of the above about SM sucking yesterday. I went on hoping for the best, but even with tons of traffic, I made 0 in 45 minutes. I had to log off. The weather was too nice outside to stay in cooped up like I've been doing all summer.
I'm not sure I can blame it on it being Veteran's Day either, because I don't think most people had the day off.
Such a shame that SM is so unpredictable this past year. I could see if I was newish, or didn't have traffic, or a following. But my room is always full. I just don't get it.:-\

Honestly, when you look at the way things have changed with camming...I think the biggest problem is that we sometimes engage them too much in free chat. Even if some of us don't, they can find someone who will pretty much chat all day for free, as well as the showing off of bodies in free chat. Some of them are content with what they can get for free. I have noticed that I've been doing better since I started ignoring my free chat until someone speaks to me first. Then I only give simple, friendly responses. If they aren't paying me, then they just don't get very much of me at all. I stress out a lot less and don't tire out as easy as well. Even on slow days I am pretty chill. We need to go back to the days of boring free chat and make them pay for excitement!

^^^Agree 1 million percent! I was commenting to another cam girl a couple of weeks ago that when I ignore, I get tips, prvts., etc.
At first I did it because I get wiped out talking in free chat. But when I saw that it worked, I kept doing it.
I sometimes just have enough energy to wave when someone says hi, because oftentimes their hi, never turns into a paid chat anyway.

Exactly. The guys that come in and say "hi", get a simple "hello" back. I don't engage in conversation, just reply to their comments or questions and if they want to take me private they will, if not they'll leave. Either way I'm not wasting energy on false hope.

Thank you for this. Yesterday I had a lightbulb moment when not one, but two guys in my full room told me they could (and were) getting off just by the way I moved and talked in free chat. F that. I need to reign in my MFC habits for SM and go more professional/less flirty. I do well on SM but it's been pulling teeth lately, so no money = no honey. If they don't engage me with tips or privates then I am not going to be their chatty entertainment hour. The only thing is that it is very hard for me to sit still on cam, but today I am going to try my hardest. Who knew being LESS engaging would be a cam tactic? haha

It absolutely is. I don't show anything but my face and tell anyone who asks to see the rest of me to tip for it or go to hell. I don't move at all, although I talk and smile a lot.
It works pretty well. They either fuck off or tip.

I just emailed them yesterday about some guy who rated me 1 star for no reason and they removed it for me.. do you think I would be pushing my luck?? it's really fucking annoying that I get rated bad when it's not even my fault!

Thankfully my guy left a 5 star rating but his comment said I was amazing but he got disconnected. How is that a reflection of me and my shows? Grr. What I don't get though, surely if he got disconnected while in private then he wouldn't be able to rate..?

Oh dear lawd. I wish I'd saved this outfit for another day. Shit. I should've taken the day off and tried tomorrow.

Today was a waste of make up, and hours of my life that I could have spent plucking my balls. :-/

I am ONLY making money from regulars on SM, and it's been like that for awhile. Time to move on, because if I'm going to just be making $$ from a few guys I'd rather have them see me on indy sites and get the majority of the profits...::)
