really? :/ this will be the second summer i've cammed and my highest earning month was august, and june/july were pretty average, then again i work on MFC and see a lot of my regulars are college students with newly opened schedules. either way, my husband just got a really nice paying job so we're good!

SOME might not feel the slowness but for others it will be sink or swim.Its not really gonna effect me cuz I'm very frugal , I'm big on savings. just giving a heads up to the new girls . If you have a strong fan base you might never feel the slowness.Dont forget theirs going to be a lot of girls out school on break trying to cam also.im working as much as I can while the money is good.if u feel like being lazy DONT.With camming there's always money to be made but summer it just gonna take a lot of more hours to get it .

Ugh, spend all that time getting my whore face on and my first exclusive wants a POV jerk off with a fucking lotion facial, wants "a big cumshot baby"
Now I'm facing the dilemma of fixing my makeup at 1am because I've only made $25 so far or just saying fuck it and turn on netflix. Honestly, after getting lotion in my eye I'm leaning netflix.

BB, I'm sorry you're having a shit day on cam but I just wanted to let you know that the bolded statement cracked me the HELL up! I hate that he made you feel that way but you've probably just made a ton of bbs LOL who were having a shitty day. I had the picture of this guy in my mind too the way you described it. Hopefully you didn't see his "O" face and he was a peeper. I want to quote you in my siggy, may I, please? lol.

Argh! I haven't done any shows on SM for the last 3 months and I was still 5 stars. But one of my regulars came and rated me 5 starts and now it's down to 4 stars cause it goes back to default when you have less than 3 votes for the last 3 months... I couldn't be more pissed off for a 5 star rating, I'm back in the 3rd page now from 1st page...

What is a bad bitch? I see it being very loosely misused. You are not a bad bitch if you ain't got no job, don't wan't no job and can't pay no bills. That doesn't make you a bad bitch. That just makes you BAD.

1-A girl I barely know got me a fake necklace for my birthday. Turned my neck green, now I look like I've been strangled by a leprechaun.
2-I got four pre-paid serve cards before I found out you can only have one per ss #. So, I'll be using the other three as presents to confused friends/family.
3-I'm so broken out on my forehead and am forced to do this comb over, wraparound thing with my hair. I have clip in bangs, but my cats keep hiding them.
4-I still haven't made a profile for loveshooks' site, I've been procrastinating.
5-I'm working on a group project for school completely alone. It's already a week late, but I was hoping SOMEONE would come through and help.
6-It's freezing and I really need to tan, but the lotion's in the car, so I've been procrastinating.
7-Naked.com is *finally* making me a new account after I've been asking for four months.

Todays vent:: Ok so this may be my fault but ugh! I had a goal to reach.. I wanted to work Friday night..all night.. and Saturday during the day in hopes to make $300. Well .. my boyfriend doesn't know what I do... and guess who decides they just miss me so much and decided to stay the night? smh even tho I lied to told him I had to be up early for "work" (he thinks I have a "regular" job) so I wanted to be in bed early. He claimed he would let me rest and leave early...well 2am came..3am came.. and this guy falls asleep. N I couldn't wake him lol so ughhhhhhh ruined my entire Friday night. and didn't leave til Saturday afternoon so I missed my goal..only made $120. :( and im pissed. sometimes I wanna just tell his ass listen.. I bust it wide open on cam at nights so either u gon accept it or leave me alone so I can get this moneyyyyy!

So annoyed right now. Online for almost an hour and get absolutely nothing, other than someone who takes me exclusive, apparently for the purpose of clearing my room out because they leave after 3 seconds. Then finally get taken exclusive for real. Quite hopeful about it, turns out it's some douchebag who wants me to immediately start hammering my ass with my biggest dildo. I feel rushed, and I think it shows. Didn't have time to properly 'prepare' so it's uncomfortable. Then the douchebag leave and rates me 1 star. Grrrrr.

SM is totally goind down at less for me... normally sunday funday and saturday too but now....OMG
I can't even make myself go on regularly anymore. I just think what's the point. I know I can make $100 in 2 hours, and I feel like they're just not letting me. I don't feel like you should have to sit in front of a camera all day when you're doing PORN for christ sake. There's plenty of ladies no need to force them to work 40 hours a week like a fucking job. That's a pimp. I feel so sad when I see the same ladies on for hours and hours. Fucking 35%.

Black men need to stop this bullshit of getting pissy and jealous when they see a Black woman having a conversation with a White guy. It does not automatically mean we "don't like Black guys," or that we are "stuck-up" or a "sell-out." Grown ass men having a temper tantrum because they failed at getting a girl's phone number. Lol. LEARN TO TAKE REJECTION LIKE A MAN.
And on a similar note...I hate it when a guy I'm not interested in says shit like "What...you don't like White guys???" Honey, I don't give a shit if you're Black, White, or puke green. I don't want to give you my phone number, which you seem to think you're entitled to, for some strange reason. Get the fuck out my face...

Agreed! I'm like fuck what color your dick is. I'm rejecting YOU not your dick color. I swear these guys think they are different because the color of their skin. Good dick is good dick, bad dick is bad dick, an asshole is an asshole, and if I'm not interested.. well I'm not interested. I don't know why men think we care what color it is. I sure don't give a damn, and I'm sure you ladies know that good and bad dick comes in all shapes, colors, AND SIZES! Although, I do get disappointed when the dick is large and the guy has NO idea what to do with it... like BOOM there it is and I'm like ookay does it just sit there or do your hips not work??? What's wrong with it??

I think SM has died. I just get lucky and get regulars sometimes now. I am currently only using camming as back up supplemental income and it's in the works for me to leave it all together or just do it occasionally soon. Hopefully things work out or I will NOT survive this summer. It's soooo slow. I'm on the middle of page 1 and get nothing. And it's been this way for the past couple of weeks.

I'm feeling it too. I don't know if it's me or them or what but I feel like SM isn't working for me. My hourly has gone down by almost $20 in 3 weeks and I don't see any of my regs anymore and those who do buy shows from me are minute men at best. Even resorted to Gold Shows which I never had to do before and those I have to cancel 2/3 times.
I'm starting to look at other cam sites (I wish I could split cam but I don't think my computer can handle it) and am looking at P/T vanilla work too. I'm so anxious about all of this which obviously doesn't help matters. What is going on??????????????? I was making bank, feeling like a cam goddess and my hourly has almost been a guaranteed since last May when I started on SM now it's a stress riddled crap shoot.
Rant over.

03-25-2015, 11:03 AM
I don't even know, honestly! My first three weeks were harsh for me working, but after that I was making 150$ in less than six hours and now I have to push hard for that for some reason. I don't know if it's because clients are getting tired of me or something or if traffic is just sucking. I miss the patience I had when I'd first started with low rates and I would work from noon to midnight just for 100$. Now I'm like ''Bleh, I'm done'' by seven thirty.
Thank my stars I have a few good regulars that like to tip me out the ass, because otherwise it would be minute-men and gold shows all day. I hate gold shows.
I look gorgeous today! Custies, get your shit together!

Wow it's sucking hard. I just watched a model on MFC and she has 560 people in her room and is struggling to get a 1800 topic down for topless. It's like it doesn't make any sense. She even has ridiculously cheap skype rates. I'm thinking she should be busy as hell like back to back shows.
cherryblossomsinspring
03-25-2015, 11:21 AM
Another model is at 1300 people and the comments are like from the 1 time only premium members I get in my room. Just a wall of stupid questions just for free attention. I'm annoyed and I haven't even cammed up yet.

I'm sooo glad that I took on other jobs, because relying on camming income alone, made me lose my home once because I relied too heavily on camming to provide my financial needs.:'( I don't plan on losing it a second time.) "Fool me once cam goddesses, shame on you...Fool me twice, shame on me!"

I hate streamate so bad at this moment.
I don't get why they take us over 65% share and they do nothing for us for this cut.
Crap servers,no traffic,no promotion, no live and profesional support.
Where is Streamate job for theese money?
Me ,as model (besides the fact i take only 27%) ,I have meet their requirements for having traffic (in theory) : I broadcast over 6 hours/day, I am bringing a professional background , professional pictures, good appearence on cam,nice attitude,etc etc.You all know what it needs.
And I am expecting Streamate to offer me in exchange (because of the HUGE cut), traffic, a good and functional platform to work and concentrate on the potential customers to make money.
This should be a win-win situation.
But what Streamate really offers me? Old servers,glitches, no traffic ,no LIVE support (as a "respectful" site that streamate is, at least a LIVE support for technical problems would be required,not to stay in my working time to solve the problems instead of taking care of members) and...the nice suggestion of : Bring your own traffic bitch! Stay and promote yourself and solve the technical problems by yourself because we don't have any plan to bother ourselves to keep the promises we lie you with when you sign up on site,full of hope.
This is what appears on "streamatemodels" page , right in front of my eyes,every single day when I login : "TONS OF VISITORS DAILY
Streamate handles all the advertising at no cost to you. Millions of visitors have immediate access to your chat daily."
Millions? they were drunk when wrote this ad and added too many zero's.
and another good one,and i am done with this : "Currently with over 500 popular adult sites (and counting!) within our network and millions of visitors every day, we offer our webcam models huge exposure and a greater opportunity to maximize weekly earnings!
Our continued success is fueled by our dedicated in-house staff who are ready to assist you with whatever your needs may be!"
-Dedicated in house staff who are ready to assist you whatever your needs may be
-500 sites
Okay I am laughting with tears now.
Camming sucks! And streamate sucks the most of it :))))
Ok I am done..feeling better now!

Sm you can go suck some hairy balls tonight because you suck. Cams... yes you too! lol. I got a guy on there who wanted me humiliate him. He came back after a few days saying his life isn't worth it anymore. I gave him as much attention as I could and told him to get some serious mental help. Why tonight, why?
