Camming doesn't suck... I suck: my hips, my legs, my thighs, my ass, my noise, my head hurts so bad. Everything hurts and it's Friday.

Camming sucks when it's already a low traffic day and you see guys with 2 and 3 beside their name coming in and leaving before saying anything to you. Makes me think there's something wrong when they do that :(

Camming sucks because Fridays are usually awesome for me and today has been fucking shit.....hardly any traffic and a bunch of begging trolls. I was lucky to walk away with $50 in 2 hours....I'm done for the weekend now. Fuck you SM and your shitty traffic too.

I always wonder why my 2's and 3's do that also. Just when I've made peace with the 'summer ' guys coming around every year at this time and not buying, now I have to try and figure out why regs rdoing that shit.
Camming sucks for me in the summer.

It's been 3 years since i've started camming but i was so on and off that I'm still nowhere near making a decent income.

I still don't have a solid theme/persona which I know "what works for me" and it's so frustrating to still trying to figure out my hustle/clothing/price range etc. after 3 years. I wish there was a reality show for cam girls for "Camgirl Makeover!" so that I could join and redefine my camgirl self and start to make this work, cause I am so lost otherwise!

I guess many of ur go thru this stage Scarlet even myself after 14 years of camming?! I still wonder if i am on the right path lol, this job is not like any other vanilla job where u start, learn what to do & become good in what u do over time. No, with camming is just trying around until u get some results u happy with.
I changed my hustle, prices, persona a few times over the years, i changed sites, clothes (cause i did not fit in the old ones anymore haha), style, haircut, hair color, i still dont know if i do things right or not.
Nobody came up with a 'Camgirl profession - how to' book yet, i dont even think it could sell cause for every cam girl things work different. Some find succcess right away, for some might take a while & for some is never going to happen unfortunately or success might change due to the changes in cam/ adult industry or in our looks/ age . Dont kill ur brain thinking about these details, just do what u do & improve what u can. Hugs!

This is the second super sucky shift in a row... where did everyone go? And don't tell me it's summer because a huge portion of my clients are Australian and they're nowhere to be found.

Whelp, camming is sucking the day after father's day. And I'm pretty sure the site is glitching people out of my room recently too. Still, better to be on and not have business than to be off and wondering "what if"...

SM was absolute ass today. I barely managed to stay for 3 hours altogether over the course of the afternoon, because the beggars were getting on my tits so much.

Joining the club. Did 2 hours, only pulled 3 privates. I was barely getting guys in my room and those that did come in either silently lurked, popped in and out, or didn't talk that much. I feel like all the spenders went MIA. I'm going to sleep and will try again when I wake-up.

How on EARTH do I get people into my room on MFC's?
I don't give it away for free, I act bubbly and sweet, I have audio and chat with everyone who comes in. What am I doing wrong!?
Last night I made $3 when I usually make $50 a night. I don't even feel like going live tonight because of it!
UGH I just had 10 beggars in my room all night, none of my regulars were on except for one that just likes to complain and try and make me feel guilty...wtf is with that?

I just don't understand why I am not making more, why no one is taking me private, and why I'm not getting tips.
Guys keep saying "You need to do X to get dudes in your room BB!" But I am not going to get naked and bounce around for peeps to just watch me and not pay me!

That, right there, is exactly why I quit MFC and decided to pour all my efforts into SM. I don't even flash in free chat and I get no shortage of love (ie, shows :P)... used to do great on MFC but those days are gone for me, no idea if I'll give it another chance again.

camming has really sucked the past few days. i've put in 15 hours thursday through monday and every night has sucked. It's been pulling teeth to get any tokens. I've been lucky to average more than minimum wage. The first week of this month was soo good for me and then I had to take a week off to go out of town for a memorial, I come back ready to really make the money and nothing. I'm moving next month too... :(

I give upon MFC for right now, I made another $3 tonight in two freaking hours! I'm going to check out SM now lol I'm done putting time into something if it isn't going to work FOR me.

Literally the slowest two consecutive nights on cam I've ever had. So much for my weekly goal. I can only work tomorrow and Wednesday and then I've got plans for the weekend. I hope some regs pull through, or I miraculously score some new ones. Otherwise, fuck this week. >_<

Camming sucks today....$12 in 2 hours....fuck all the freeloading assholes that are out today. Also all the assholes who say "you wanna go priv/exc and then just fucking leave and the BRB Assholes.....if I could ban them for doing so, I would. I wish there was a separate list of all the guys who came into your room and left without getting a show and then you could pick and choose who to ban instead of just having that option while they're in your room.

well, I found out that my problem from last shift is I accidentally turned off my rooms sound 0.0 so at least I can talk to people now. But today I've had three guys come in, confirm a show and then leave and not enter private >_< Fuckwads everywhere

I feel like since the church shooting in SC I've seen the request for raceplay ( and not of the black goddess variety) increase and it makes my head want to explode. I'm really cheerful and playful on cam and that shit puts me in such a sour mood. It's been slow for me and I know I'm turning down money but fuck it. I just can't. =(

The fuck is up with traffic on SM this week? It hasn't been this dead for me since I first started camming and my "New Model" title ran out. I know there's an ebb and flow to traffic and $$ with the seasons but this is ridiculous! Last week I was making $250-$300 a night without even trying, tonight I've only had one exclusive in the past 3 or 4 hours and I'm front page. I actually did pretty decent on Monday but still only pulled about $180 and yesterday I only made about $70-$80 bucks all night. Might have to try doing some Gold shows or something, which I usually don't because I usually make more money off getting exclusives and rarely ever make goal.

I also RARELY even visit this thread, I hate the negativity and if I'm not doing well I usually go to the "Camming ROCKS" thread for some inspiration, but I'm glad I came here bc I see a lot of other girls are having the same issue this week. Anyone know what it could be that's causing this madness? I DEMAND ANSWERS!! lol

Susperia
06-24-2015, 09:21 PM
Tonight fucking blows. On for 2 and a half hours and made $18....hardly any traffic....I just lost hope and logged off. Luckily I was on earlier today and made $50.....so nearly $70 for today....Monday and Tuesday really rocked for me though.

3 hrs, $30, whoop-de-doo.

Whenever I have a shitty afternoon like this, I'm just thankful that at least I'm not staying up all night to reach these lofty heights. Tried a late night yesterday, and it was grim.

ETA: I wrung another $20 out of the final hour, but the absolute iron determination it took to get back on nearly broke me.

$35 in 4 hours on SM last night. That was a blow to my ego because I tried to look extra "glam" last night and changed up my style a bit. It obviously didn't help lol. What did happen though, was I got more freeloaders and scammers than I ever had before. "do ___ and i'll go prvt" "1.99 pvt bb?" "take off your clothes" etc etc etc! RAAAAAAWWWWRRR lol

I'm having so many beggars and asshats too and I'd gotten hardly any for a long time before this week. SM might be doing promotion on another stupid place.. or we have a major influx of bored teenagers off from school

This isn't unusual. It's been a long time since I've gone glam on SM since this is a common reaction to the more glamorous stripper look.

You don't have to go glam or too glam. They are not worthy! When my hair is freshly done, my make up is so fabulous I could go on Rupaul Drag Race, I don't bother getting on cam.

Seriously, $2.37 in two hours is bullshit when I've actually been trying to hustle rather than ignoring my cam room. Stupid life keeping me from getting online more often so it always feels worse when I do badly.

I am used to making at least 24 an hour or more why are we being punished streamate why tonight better get better or i may leave.

This is giving me the push I needed to start looking into independent camming more seriously. SM might make things easier as far as not having to promote yourself in order to get traffic... but when the traffic they send us is like this, wtf are we paying them 65% of our income for??

Makes me sick enough thinking of what they get to keep for all the risk I take putting my fine naked butt on the internet... and them being one of the biggest mainstream sites around. They could afford to at least half it with us. Gotta stop thinking about shit I can't change before I blow chunks.

WTF is up with Streamate? This week has been awful. Either an empty room, people just popping in and out and losers asking for free shit. I went to see how the top row was doing and even those ladies were complaining about how bad it's been lately. This is getting disheartening.

I usually never bother with the last week of the month since I know all the top girls are out pulling extra for their own bills and shit. Thought I'd give it a chance this week and... it's just a big nope. So many rude, annoying guys around. Just glad the rest of the month has been good enough to me that I'm not stressing now.

SweetieBitch
06-26-2015, 08:38 PM
It's both comforting and frustrating that so many ladies had a similarly terrible week on SM... I've heard of the "summer slump" but haven't really encountered it until now.

Taking such a blow to my earnings this week was a much needed reality slap to add more eggs to my basket. It's simply not efficient or smart to rely on one site alone. I never thought I would branch out to free/token sites but I've been intrigued by CB lately... Going to give it a shot soon. Also get back into my C4S flow. Had my highest earning month in April and then got totally lazy, but I know if I put more time and effort in I can make enough passive clip income to pay rent/bills.

Camming definitely has its sucky moments, but I just need to be more proactive. I'm grateful to have options.
