What I don't get is that it can go from SOOOOO awesome to like, fucking deader than dead in a matter of a day. And then stay that way. What's the cause? We will never know but it's just fucking frustrating as fuck.

I want the days back where I could log on and know for reasonably certain that I would make at least a consistent bare minimum per hour. Now, no way. No predictability. How can a person be in row 1 of the site and have 2 people in the room? How is that even possible?

Got new internet thinking the upgrade in my speed would be awesome. And it was. Until the damned modem started shorting out, oh, as soon as I got it. A week later and I finally got them to send a technician out to fix it because someone with a brain in customer support checked the actual log on modem on their end. 'Oh, yes, I can see that it has been dropping you--repeatedly--for several days. I'll send someone right out.' Well, gee, thanks, those disconnects happening every ten minutes (and damn do I wish I was exaggerating) were really a minor inconvenience, so spending three days trying to get you to send a tech out wasn't an issue at all.

Because the only thing worse than a slow day on cam is no camming at all...

Seems like alot of us are in the same boat. I feel your pain girls. I've been on every night, (SM & CB) and made less than $20 all week. The only thing that saved me from boredom were a few guys talking to me. Its pretty depressing and hard to get on when you make next to nothing.

It is slow indeed, very very slow, i just managed to make some money cause i was simply lucky i feel. My son brings in money too even not that much but is helping to feel less pressured here, untill few months ago it was all on me, i was soo anxious regarding the money i had to make, now is kinda different knowing i have some support. I just ordered me the Logitech c920 camera, i really need paying traffic, i pray SM gets better soon, seriously, after holidays business slows down a lot on all cam sites.

Thats a great camera, I have it and love it! I'm sure it'll help once traffic picks up on SM. Do you have a back up site? Might want to look into getting one :)

^^^ I dont like/ work other site other than SM lately, i dont like cheap with no traffic sites or token sites, i am picky lol, i only invest my resources into a site that makes me money rather than dividing my attention, time & resources to more sites and making peanuts on each. I tried them all, SM works good for me when it's working. Ty for input :)

Thanks guys, I was getting super paranoid that there was a problem with my account or something (SM), I can't believe this last week! ? Slowest week that I have experienced since I joined SM a couple of months ago. Ugh! Let's hope things change again. I have been on 6pm and after (PST), and it has been awful! I have also tried staying on way later than I usually do, thinking I could depend on early AM hours (like I did when I first signed up), but that has not helped much either. There have been so many nights of completely rude, entitled people, (which is usually the case with some who visit my room), but this last week it's been the majority. It has been a challenge for me to stay on cam, without getting angry at some of the ridiculous demands. I'm holding my usual boundaries firm, hopefully it's just a freak week! Someone asked "suck toes" before taking my pvt, then got mad that I can't suck my own toes? I am pretty new to camming (6 mos), but I have had a lot of people ask for foot shows, and they have always wanted to see my toes so they can imagine sucking them, wtf? How does "suck toes, foot show?" translate to "If I take you pvt, may I please see you suck your toes? If you are able to?". Imbecile! :)

Ditto here ladies. It's been hit or miss, miss mostly miss. I had planned to login Friday night at 9:30 pm(US)EST. I made a commitment to myself to work regular days and get on at a set time. I've beeN doing this since August 2014 and having read many posts here saying that keeping a regular schedule Is very important in building up regular clients. Friday was the first new day of the pay period on L.J. and the % is 30% up to $100, 35% at $200..etc. I despise the new p.p. because it takes many hours to break the 1st $100. I try to hit 40% by the end of week #1. My goal is to take $1000 bi'weekly. where I work so I planned to login around 9:30.

The evening started sucking straight outta the gate! I went to launch JasminCam and the software wouldn't respond. I tried a couple more times, also disabling programs that might run the c.p.u. high. Well, 2 hours later, and a chat with Jasmin support, old version was uninstalled,and the next version replaced it. After mountains of computer stressed, I finally made it on at 11:30! Luckily for me, the second I logged on my room was poppin'. My 1st, show came tho me just like that..no sales involved, no begging, no chit chat. YES! It continued like this although did slow down as night turned into day. I took a break for 2 hours since it got slow and since I was past the point of tired to delirious, and I had never done a weekend day, I redid my face, changed into fresh came out clothes and hit the air at 6:00. My room filled up, they came, and left, no privates.
Some had credits, but most did not. But something was different for me, that I have heard other complain about here, but it never had happened to me...until Today..
I would notice there would be anywhere in the range of 25 tho 50 in my room, most hidden, but usually 5 or 6 out in view. Nobody came out to talk to me...NOBODY.. It totally cropped me out..stillness.I'm used tho a chatty, flowing from, lots off talk(most times too much talk), begging, stupid questions or whatever..but kept me engaged.
I don't what it was. Maybe hoards of teenage boys gathered around their computers, with no $$ looking at the girl, oggling with their friends while mom is out and about. So they lurk in the shadows of my room, and jerk
off for free. And the guys that DID have $ on account hung around, sent every one an invite for private. It stayed scary slow and I just stayed on, coming off for a break every 20 minutes til 3:30 when I found myself ready to scream at some jerk bigger,,,,FUCK it, day over!##!

Result? 15 cam hours in from Friday into Saturday late afternoon😒😒😒😒 $107.00

Made it to 35%....

Keep pushin on...I am so glad I can post out the stress from "THE DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CAMMIE"

Hope next Week it's better for everyone🌸

Is camming harder when it's your only job? Because camming sucks right now and I feel like it was easier when I first started. Now I'm all nervous about "building my business" and shit. I keep freaking out that it's not gonna work and I'm gonna have to go back to my shitty vanilla job. As much as a vanilla job sucks, it's easier to clock in then to hit that start button when you feel fat and you have a headache. I know that sounds super lazy but I I don't want to be fun and flirty for a bunch of assholes who can't type more than one letter when they want to call me "baby"

wecamgirls forum, i made the mistake to register there and verify my account, they just stalk you if u do that, luckily i was inspired to verify with an account on a cam site i dont cam anymore. i dont like these intrusive methods to always contact people and ask them how they doing and that u looked up their profile page, so on and on, mods there use to contact and email members, there are more people with admin accounts on that forum that are also cam girls. Just stay out pls! I like it in here cause mods never come out to 'stalk' people like they do in there, i like the privacy we have here. Did not log in there for ages, i should delete my account.

I think its harder when you only work 1 site. Camming is less stressful when you have more than 1 source of income. I'd def look into split-camming, phone sex, independent shows and clips4sales. Put as many eggs in your basket so that you aren't depending on 1 site or camming.
