You'd log off completely or use two cameras, but that gets tricky.

Thanks Julia. I'm also confused about entertaining guys on Streamate. Everyone constantly talks about how you shouldn't just sit on your bum and wait for someone to give you money; but I don't understand how I'm suppose to be entertain a room that can't even bother to say, "hello." Am I suppose to spend my entire time online talking and/or teasing to myself? Because when I'm on Streamate, after a while it gets old and all I want to do is open other tabs on the computer to not bore myself to death.

I sit on my bum and wait for money and it does come ... Teasing and doing all that will just get you freeloaders.. The guys that are going to take you pvt if they want to regardless if you teasing or not..just my experience.. Yes Im nice and talkative and flirty..
To split cam first get a break button installed on sm then when you go pvt on another site simply hit the break button on sm then when you done with pvt hit break button to return to fc on sm

Welp. I'm done for the night. I haven't worked a Friday in forever because it's usually freeloader/drunk asshole central, and I got on tonight. The good news is that there weren't many drunk assholes.. but there sure are a lot of "gold show only" kinda guys.... and also, not 2 much traffic in general- even being in the top 2 rows. Camming also sucks because they gave me a tv broadcast right when I logged on and then when it got all the way down for the show to start the producer said Streamate had a "streaming error" and the GS wouldn't be able to happen. :( Bitches.

<3 I hear ya IvyAdams.
Why did I sign on tonight?! Same thing as you Ivy, too many freeloaders + my room crashed 5 times within an hour. Pretty sure the problem was not on my end even though I was getting a disconnection pop up. Only made half my nightly goal, but I hustled it within an hour and a half so that kinda made up for it. Guess it's video games & snuggling with my puppy time. ::)

I just finished knitting a sweater. Took me two months, on and off, and it was meant to be a gift for someone. I sewed in the zipper and realized it was a hair too large and my pets had covered it in bits of hair, so I decided to wash it. The yarn was designed for a washer, but mine is apparently too rough. The sweater is absolutely ruined. I have four large holes--one along a three way seam--and no idea how to fix it. I've been knitting for nearly twenty years and I haven't wanted to cry so badly since my mother died.
Fuck everything.

Worked just under 8 hours and made just under just under 8 bucks today. :O Will someone just kick me in my ass again? I lowered my rates and still dead, dead, dead. Note to self: STOP that! If they're not going to pay they're not going to pay! When will you learn?! :D
ETA: One positive thing is at least I earned something. It's always better than 0 and for that I'm grateful!

Yeah, don't lower your rates, hon. This only leads to soul-searching along the lines of "is my show not even worth a dollar, waaaah".

You can come to my house my grandparents have the heat blasting. I'm in shorts and tank top sweating and it's like 3 degrees today yesterday it was negative. Our schools cancelled last night. Our basement is freezing and I'm doing laundry. It amazes me that our pipes haven't frozen or burst since it's so cold down there.

Hey neighbor! lol. I have a guess of which state you're in. Some one said they do laundry daily to help their pipes not freeze and then the drier throws off heat to help since I do laundry daily that might be what's helping. Or that I just went down stairs and saw the heats on 80. It was just breaking news that a plumber around me was using a blow torch to unfreeze pipes and caught the house on fire. I know who not to call if we have that problem.

OMGOSH! LOL Yeah right below you.....so far we prob have at least 10 inches :( Find me on Twitter (bridgetgivens) if you have it..we can trade pictures of our living hell LOL . Our heat in our house is set at 68 and that's me pushing it with husband....he normally has it on 65....and it's 13 degrees with a chill factor making it feel like 1! UGH!

I just followed you. we haven't had to much snow. It snows then melts, then snows and melts. So at like one time we had maybe half a foot. On the 14th we kept having white outs I could barely see our street and it took them forever to plow and salt. I had family that took an hour to go what normally takes 15 mins. It just started snowing again here.
I wanna come to your house I am so hot I went and throw rock salt down just to cool off.

OMG!!!how do u manage with ur thermostat on 65??
it always feels like summer in my condo...approx 80 degrees..
thts usually too hot for others, but perfect for me...
i travel with one of those small portable heaters also to prevent making everyone else uncomfortable and keep the temp regulated wherever i am...
but, as my mother loves to point out, if i wore more clothes, i wouldnt be so cold...lol

I know this is probably not a "Camming sucks moment" but I just hate it when you're offline and receive offline message from regular wanting to do Indy cam show but the timing just not right on my end. I'll usual have Tuesday as off day from vanilla work but due to Monday holiday my schedule had to shift. So it sucks loosing out on money could of receive.

oh my gosh..... idk what the hell happened on sm. seriously.... maybe everyone totally ruined goldshows with their 0 dollar buy in shit. I used to pull 700 a NIGHT with goldshows on streamate.
Now i can't get shit!!
Guys come in, look for a 0 dollar show...if one isn't starting in 2 fucking minutes they leave!
I've been getting by with regulars. Thank God.
ANYWAYSSSS!! WHATEVER BITCH STARTED THAT 0 DOLLAR BUY IN SHIT CAN KISS MY ASS. :mad::mad::mad:
and NO....I am NOT sorry for having such a bad attitude!!! (I also want to say....I don't need the "well your bad attitude isn't going to make you money" post either. Save your breath..... I've been camming for years... Goldshows are now shit and I'm allowed to be upset. That is all.)

I agree. Been camming for 5 years and until about a year ago SM was my only site and I made fantastic money. Now I have the headache of having to split 4 sites to make the same $. Is it becouse of the GS, the sign of the times or maybe it's just me. Who knows but I miss the good 'ol times :(

'Nowhere' did I tell you how to do your job. I said I was upset that goldshows have went to shit. 0 dollar buy ins with a 30 minute timer??? impossible to hit 1000 dollar goals. (Unless you're doing some girl girl action.... Good luck with that. I would LOVE to see it! Honestly)
Anyways...if having a bunch of men watch you but not pay you doesn't hurt YOUR dignity.... congratulations. I however, have more self respect than that. sorry :)
OH and by the way... this is the camming sucks right now thread. I THOUGHT i was allowed to post about how CAMMING IS SUCKING without YOU personally attacking me. Guess not!!

I'm thinking it's the gold shows (I hope), because my earnings have been increasing a lot lately on my other sites. Some nights I earn double on my other sites than I do on SM... The gold shows may throw SM in the shitter soon.. idk.

Husband had to quit his job, now he's staying at home doing the house, cooking etc. I have nothing against it as he's been being really helpful, but it's demotivating as hell. I just can't get myself to work when I know someone else in the house is sleeping or gaming or probably doing other fun stuff lol.

I swear, I just can't get a break. Of course a day I'm heavily on my period will be THE day I have an opportunity to hook up with this guy I've been sexually attracted to. :banghead: And then when another opportunity with him arises, he will say/do something to fuck shit up. And then it's like...WOW, okay then, dickhead. You could've gotten laid tonight, but you fucked up. PEACE!

People not replying to text messages, Realtor not replying to my email, my shampoo and conditioner suck and this fucking cold and snow is killing me.
I realize it could be worse, I could not have a phone to text on, I could not have a computer to send emails, I could not have hot water and I could be freezing outside inside of just freezing inside when I'm not in front of the space heater. But this sucks.

I made plans today and my gram is now in the hospital. So told my friend not 100% sure plans are still on and they're getting pissed.
