As I mentioned in another thread, I finished up an exclusive session and didn't even get a 15/20-sec. warning to get dressed. I was NAKED, and I was thrown right back into free chat with on warning. SMH. So I had to click the 'Stop Session' button, which puts me offline, so I could get dressed. Then I started back up on there. *sigh*

I need to make money for Christmas spending. I guess with how bad things have been, I'll just spend more time being logged in to the cam sites (trying to splitcam again), and doing that thing where I stay logged in and just "rest my eyes" with the light off until I hear those private chat invite sounds. LOL.

Holy shit. TOP girl on SM right now is struggling to get a $49 dollar GOLD show with a 4 dollar buy-in for TEN minutes... 1 min left and only $26 met! The thing is though, she has like 50+ guys in her room!

Damn... This must be Christmas, or SM problems or something. Craazzehh. I'm still on tonight though!

Yep, same here. And the REAL assholes are on trolling me. I get sick of that. Some days it's harder to deal with than others.

I could be making clips, but being on cam put me in such a bad mood that I can't record anything. And I can't even hang out and enjoy my day b/c I'm too stressed that I'm not making money.

Last year I did great around the holidays. Sundays used to be my best day. Today? Been in free chat hell for 6.5 hours and have made a whopping $40.22. Spamming the fuck out of MGF giving away a free intro video and so far I've gotten 43 dick pics and a chat that I know will not end in a contribution (he admitted h'es broke right now). Trolls and beggars galore. Am I going to have to sit here until freaking midnight just to make it to $100? Ain't nobody got time for that!

It's an hour later. Now up to 7.5. hours in and $49.03.
To make my goal of $100 today I'll only have to be in private chat for another 20 minutes. Why do I feel like that isn't going to happen today?????

Friday was actually like.... WAY GOOD for me on SM. Night and day difference from Wed and Thur! I hate the up and down but unfortunately it's part of the job.

I haven't been online since but I'll be on tonight and hopefully it's not a bust. :(

Got myself an i7 laptop. Now I'm 3 rows higher on SM, with fine fluent video - and with the same zero traffic. $1200 down the drain. I'm fucking killed.

I'm glad on AW we don't have placement dictated the same was as on other sites but I am always stunned by the number of girls I see in group shows (when they're using the live thumbnails) with the most appalling video and charging all sorts of prices. In the meantime I'm sitting there with my 3mbps upload speed, i7 gaming laptop and Logitech c920 HD webcam. Maybe guys find it more exciting to squint at the screen and try to figure out what it is they're meant to be seeing.

Sunnylexie
12-10-2012, 01:36 AM
Mine is like 5 to 20 mbps on upload (depending on time of the day and position of stars, but never lower than 5), i7/8GB. The most puzzling thing is that it improved my video quality dramatically and gave me a better placement, but I had less shows and made way less than when using my old laptop under the same conditions (day of the week, time of the day, lighting, cam etc). Sunday/Monday is when I make the most, but this time it just sucked kilometers smelly dicks((((. My room was all crickets and tumbleweeds while girls next to me (even on the lower row) seemed to do much better than me. It makes me feel like I'm stuck in some stupid no-traffic parallel universe where I'm gonna stay whatever my upload speed and computer be. God bless my reggies: looks like they are the only ones I can rely on on the damn site(((.

This is the first day I'm using the laptop, though. Will see if it gets any better - though this day of the week is usually the best for me, so not too much to hope for.

OMG FML SMH. Any more I can think of? LOL. Oh, there's that one.

This morning started out strong, and then everything TOTALLY died. And I mean totally as though no one could get into private. Took a break. Tried again and it was awesome for about 30 minutes. Then it totally died. Then I had about a kagillion peekers and wanted to slit my wrists. Fuck these dudes.

Signed off. Gonna spend the rest of the day making clips. And I finally got off my ass to start promoting myself, so we'll see where that takes me.

Last night I had a dream that three guys took me private at once but were all booted and I was logged out after 10 seconds. I cried in my dream because I knew it would have been a long show. It's weird because I don't even have any tech problems on my primary site!

Camming sucks right now because I can't even escape it in my dreams :/

It has been a tough three weeks, all I do is eat, sleep and cam and I feel awful when I hear how much other cam girls are making compared to me (They are making a lot more than me). But persistence has paid off and I just got my biggest Streamate check though other girls might laugh at how small it is O_o which is why I won't say how much it is.

Comparing yourself to other cam girls is a fallacy. It's okay to be inspired but you can only be you. Who cares how much they make.

I feel for the same, even things are tough and i am not earning big normally this past week i was lucky to make some nice $$$, i can now buy me the nice flat tv i wish for soo long, yay!!
For many models around here the money i made in a week might be some small cash but for me it means soo much!!
So i know how u feel darling, not all camgirls will bank but for some of us these money means alot, xxx

This is really weird to me.... I took a few days off last week due to an injury. Everything was grrreat up until then. Action always going on in my room one way or another. I come back this week and it is pretty dead for me SM. Doesn't matter what time of day, although I have not been sticking to a schedule lately an d when I was doing well.

What happened? Can any ladies here that have cammed for a few years tell me if this is a holiday trend or did I mess up not sticking to schedule? It also seems as though there are a TON more women on the site now that the holidays are here.

Or did I lose my placement after missing days? I missed a few days the week before that moving. I was on the first page before I left and now I cannot find myself anywhere... :-( :-( :-( :-( Did I lose my mojo?

Taking a few days off should NOT affect your placement that drastically. I've taken weeks off and when I'm back on, still on page one at the top spot. As you can read from previous posts, December is starting off on a shitty start but don't get discouraged. It does get better, it has to!

Thank you for the encouragement, I really, really needed it. A few guys JUST told me they kept getting thrown out of my room, another guy said it was freezing, another guy said my sound was static.... re-booted and the same things...I was really starting to feel like I grew an eyeball on my nose.

camming has sucked so hard for me lately....but in the end its not how much i am making everyday its how much i make that week or month....thats when it adds up. one day i could make 500, one day..maybe 60..in the end it all adds up. I gotta keep thinking this way....to get through this rough time. I may have to work everyday with no days off (which is exhausting) but I will do what I have to. I will fake it to make it. I can do this...you guys can do this. Heads up girls....it will get better, it just has to. I am gonna shop around today for a new backup site. Sending my love to you all. It may not be good for me right now, but i hope it gets better for EVERYONE! we need a positive post.

Sending some love and financial blessings your way ladies! I'm not on cam yet, but I can feel your pain when it comes to the hustle. Also, if anyone is working on clips or advertisements down times are best. Apparently businesses tend to do more with sales if they do their marketing, promos, clips, etc. 12-16 weeks before an actual holiday. That's why you see Thanksgiving/Christmas commercials 3 months prior lol. And, by the time the holidays/promos come up, your vids will be ready to go.

I started on cam in Oct 2011. Last year the holiday season,overall, was terrible on cam for me. Somewhat the same this year, even though I have over a year of experience.

We models have to be ready to add add'l sites, they all have their own pluses and minuses. Around Thanks Day, I worked for hours for next to nothing but it soon after it picked up again. This month; slow again.

I suggest a mini vacation from camming to clear your head and get that positive sexy mojo going again....

IF I get show(s) they are nice. Pretty sweet guys, pretty nice shows, not too long ones, but at least not 1-2 minute men. IF I get shows. Not when. IF.
The problem is, when it's very slow I just cannot stay. They aren't even as many freeloaders. It's just too boring. In terms of national average salary I do good even if it sucks but but but it's so boooooring to sit there and smile. If I point the cam on my boobs it gets even slower. Noone wants to talk to my boobs.

Even though Wednesdays still suck I exceeded my must-meet goal! And I exceeded it by a whole $0.20. Ballin' up in here!

I still hate camming on Wednesdays, though. Thursdays are invariably my second-worst day of the week, so I suspect I'll be back in here tomorrow. Typing in here keeps my hands busy and prevents me from pulling out my hair in free chat hell.

Main site total for the day? $3.50. I'm sure my main site sounds shitty, I swear I atually do quite decently there except for Wednesdays and Thursdays. Am I psyching myself out? Who knows. All I know is I am so glad I didn't close my accounts on other sites!
