I know its hard but try to keep positive, take a few breaks in between when it gets to much and make sure you keep energetic and smile when online.
I think it has been harder for all of us. At least for me sales went down too and traffic likewise (im on page one second row)
When things get rough make sure to do ther things next to work to reload your energy

Thank you ^^ I always keep smiling. And I always try to have a plan B so that helps too. Is just...I think I can live without the money but I feel like Iīm failing and I would really hate to stop camming because I love it (at least when it doesnīt suck like this LOL) Maybe itīs stupid, but also makes me wonder if Iīm just loosing it, if Iīm not that attractive anymore. Iīm not OLD, but I turned 30 a few months ago, so well, canīt help to wonder. Thank you for your advice!

DAMN YOU THANKSGIVING. I'm Canadian, this shouldn't be my problem. :( 3 hours and about $85, only thanks to basically twisting a regular's arm into his usual 30 minute show.

I know how you feel,have that same feeling in slow periods. Dont let it mess with your head tough. You are still the same person, noting there has changed. As Chellyinparadise says hollidays are coming.. Guys have to be with there family and cantw ank all day over us right now.
You are still attractive, I know you know age doesnt matter at all.. its just the silence messing with you right now
Damn you should see me right now sittin g online: I am constantly redoing my makeup, after almost 4 years of camming its stil hard tosit in an silent room. But it will get better again. Camming always will have Great awesome moments and silent ones. Only thing that matters is holding on, logging in and staying consistent.
Dont have to stop camming, just have to be ab le to safe up money for these kind of slow moments so you wont get stressed and you can sit it out with your regulars. It will get better again! It always has in the years I have been camming.

Soo I donīt want to open a new thread just for this because I hope all negativity remains here , but I would appreciate it some of you could kindly help me out here...these last two weeks on streamate were awful, and on any other site Iīve been trying. I canīt manage to make more than 10 bucks an hour, and thatīs in a good day. I used to be on front page, on rows 3 to 5, deppending on the amount of girls. After a year off, my placement dropped till the bottom of page 1 and keeps dropping to the middle/bottom on page 2, and just getting worse. I barely get any traffic and when I do, they just pop in and out in a heart bit, I feel so ugly when that happpens. I do keep positive, but I also want to be realistic. So I was wondering if is normal to drop that many possitions on the listing after a while? Otherīs girls experiences would help me out so much because I donīt know what Iīm doing wrong...it never went so bad for me and I refuse to think the site is going downhill or whatever because I know many other girls doing great there. Anyway, every tip, experience or thought would be greatly appreciated.

I have been camming a long time almost a decade and it always has its ups and downs. As ivy said i agree with all of it. Dont let yourself get down, things will pick up they always do. I always tell myself to stick it out because even though you may be sitting all day right before you log out you could get that one or more good guys that will make up for the wait. It has and will get better just stick with it. And im 45 yrs old on tuesday, and i still do well so it isnt you. It just comes with the job not everyday is great but you can make it the best you can and say atleast you stuck it out and tried. Hang in there :)

Slow ass night on CB. Two hours, nothing. No one wanted to talk either. Like, I can deal with not making money if people are talking, but everyone is just sitting there, staring at me. Should've logged in sooner, I think.

My new lighting kit IS PISSING ME OFF. It looks less fuzzy and yellow, like, great. But it's making me look SO UGLY. Like it makes my cheeks look fatter, my eyes smaller and my lips look like Amy Schumer's. I've tried so many different lighting positions and I still look gross.

Maybe I really look like this, and my old lighting just made me look better.

It took me quite a while to find the right positioning for my lights and depending on the time of day and how much light is in my room, I still have to move them around to get it just right. There's one position that makes me look like I have a mustache from the shadows it makes and it drives me absolutely insane.

It's so annoying! I finally realized that the reason I looked so bad is that my webcam is too low to look alright with these lights, because the shadows were different than my last ''lighting system" (literally just my bedroom light which is dim and yellowish). My laptop is sitting on a bar stool now, and it looks much better!

Hopefully it pays off.

The majority of people today have been so very annoying and rude
I even lost it and said to someone in my room you are fucking annoying... after about 20 annoying questions and comments
I'm working towards a specific goal but i don't know if i put too much pressure on myself
I think i'm going to have to log off, i spent too much time on.
COME ON you can do it
I'm almost there
I'm exhausted

PS for UTI, try... buy fresh parsely.. chop up very very finely one spoonful of it (chopped), add it to boiling water in a mug, leave it for 20 minutes, add a small amount of sea salt... drink it... do this a few times a day, it really helped for me.

I hate that shit and won't allow it. I allow 3 to 5 questions in free chat after that all other questions would only be answered in private or exclusive.
The ones that asking tons of questions almost always aren't serious about shows anyway. Men who are willing to pay won't work you to death.

I can't deal with the guys who wanna play 20 questions before a show. Once or twice I've been a hair's width away from banning guys who did actually end up spending. Actually I'm sure not all of them are freeloaders, but you develop certain... reflexes. I know I've been camming too much recently when I almost scream with frustration when someone asks me a question before the show.

Lol, or the guys who are like "Let's go then!" *silence* Me: "You have to initiate exclusive chat from your end." Them: "Yes, Mistress!" *silence* *leaves* Like, how stupid do you think I am.

It boggles my mind how guys can't accept that you decline to do a show. I do mostly domme and fetish shows and it says all of that in my profile and of course I still get tons of guys expecting vanilla shows. I will flat-out tell a guy that I don't do vanilla shows and he'll be like 'Okay then what can we do?' And I'm like "Well since I don't offer what you're into---nothing." And they'll still try to do shows with me.

I had a guy tonight who was like 'Can we do a striptease with dirtytalk?' and I said no. So he's like 'Why?' and I say I don't do vanilla shows. He's like 'Okay then what will you do?' and I say 'The stuff in my profile.' So he sees JOI and says he wants to do that, to which I eye-roll because that's how vanilla guys always try to sneak in. So I say 'No,' because I know how it's going to go. He's like 'Well what are you in the mood for?'(which is majorly eye-roll-inducing) So I say 'To humiliate your dick,'which was the truth. He actually says 'Ok,' and then gets a show where he then asks for vanilla stuff. I was like 'I told you 500 times that I don't do vanilla shows and here you are asking for one so now you get blocked.' And I blocked him. Like WTF. I think they just cannot comprehend someone turning down money or something.

So much this. It never fails that Someone that was silent The entire time That questioner keeps questioning, takes me private. Without even saying hello. They are,By far, My favorite customers! They are the ones who usually appreciate My Session and always leave Great ratings.
The 20 questions dude,Will be left questioning why I banned Him. Lol!

Hey :). Yeah I didn't answer them, except the first one or two, I just ignored him and he carried on.
I find the questions are bad predictions as well, along with stand up... etc.

Oh forgot to add, if anyone does the tea, you want to strain the bits of leaf out of it.

I think I've just had the worst night ever.
This was meant to be a good day, I had a very special goal in mind, that meant a lot to me... I don't even care about that now.
On one of my main sites someone somehow, and I've no idea how, got hold of some personal information about me and posted it publicly.
Including some stuff, that they somehow had known/guessed, about my past, which I don't want to spell out but it was something that made me sick and I logged off and flew into a blind rage

The site replied within a few minutes and have dealt with it but my whole goal for the month is gone now, I can't go back on this evening and night to try do it, my face is puffed up, my eyes are swollen badly and all I want is to lie down and take a bath, I actually don't care, there's no way I'm logging back on... I was close enough, I didn't make precisely my goal but I was near

I almost feel like looking into legal action if they have any way of tracing the person who did this, it was disgusting
I wish I didn't get so upset about things like this but I just feel sick.

I can't help but feel like I'm a cam girl failure because I can never mae shit it seems. I do great on ELM with fantastic reviews but then I go on cam and no one ever feels compelled to take me PVT or to even tip for something simple!! It's so frustrating and I feel like I look fantastic but something is lacking and I can't figure out what. ugh.

Clips seem to do a lot better for me too. I should probably just capitalize on what works for me instead of continuously trying to push the cam girl thing. Some girls are great at being entertaining live and guys love it, but I seem to do better with guys who want my 101 attention and I don't seem to come across these men on free chat sites.

i have the curse of getting hyped to get on cam. Like, i'll wake up.. super pumped while running errands and getting stuff done. Then cam time comes.. and I feel like I'm going to pass out. Like... every... fucking... time. I did just have a baby in November. But damn... I can't rely on energy drinks my entire life.

Honestly, your information can always be compromised the very reason I hate social media sites is they love to share, share, share! It can help doing an entire search on yourself or paying for an extensive background check and any related connections $19/$25, deleting accounts/emails (even if you have a lot of friends) Not uploading pictures of your face and clearing your browser logs everyday. If someone does get your information, who the fuck cares? Anyone can find you at any given time, but giving a shit or crying is not going to matter because they already know. I would go back on and continue making your goal. Don't let 1 person with no life get off to your misery preventing you from working..

If you knew what had been posted publicly about me you would understand why i was upset.
But yes, i agree with your points and today i got back on.

i get headaches and sometimes migraines too from the lighting! i'm really sensitive to bright lights and can't stand any. if i find something that helps besides darkness i'll let you know.

i do have f.lux on my comp that helps the monitor light not be so bright! maybe try checking that out if you don't already have it.
^^thank you for that. I get headaches and migraines too after computer staring contests.
Just wondering, before i install it, if the light when using f.lux is sometimes TOO dim?

no problem! not in my opinion, no. the settings are adjustable so you can change it around if you don't like it. i've been using it for years and also saw it recommended in another thread on here! :)

Thanks so much. I will give it a shot.

Tuesdays can be really sweet or really bitter.

8 hours 72 $. I've certainly had much worse days I'm not exactly thrilled about it to be sure

I have to say I hate the time wasters. They just want to talk and get attention.
