I beg you fucking pardon?! I was just simply showing SabrinaGrrl support because on SM, custies get the first 30 seconds for free.
Some asshole gave her 1 star (which is terrible) because he was charged for 15 seconds. I wasn't talking about you, to you or calling anyone slow so I'm a bit confused as to why you took it so personally. The hater in your GIF must be you then?!
LOL! girl I was COMPLETELY joking! I only said your name bc you had responded to her about how we cant possibly do anything in only 45 sec,i was just trying to get her to smile,PROMISE! hence the silly ridiculous post saying I do everything,at once,and get 8 star ratings for it! lol!

Yesterday I sat in free chat for 3 hours. Made $0. Logged off. Cried. Did NOT get that bottle of wine like I wanted, instead I relaxed with a few episodes of General Hospital, logged back on, and made my goal quite easily in 2.5 hours.
SM needs to approve me again, I love my main site but I am SOOOO tired with how inconsistent the money is. At least on SM I pretty much knew what I was going to make every day. On Naked every day is a freaking crap shoot.
Same here. I can never count on that site, and the zero dollar hours kill my mood.
I have made it only an occasional secondary site because of that, plus I hate that damn tip goal since I don't show nudity and perform for tips. I prefer privates.
They tip without asking and then demand stuff, get angry and abusive and I end up blocking them.

I am on SM only and I have not been camming too much the past 8 weeks. But I have also managed to have a 0$ day - OK, just 1,5 hours, I just could not make it any longer, I just could not - which never ever happened. I felt just discouraged, I thought all my regulars forgot me... blahblahblah. It took me a week to log back again, frightened if it is going to be 0$ day again - because everybody was complaining here and on top of that I thought all my regulars are gone -, but it was just my second best earning day :-) with awesome privates and regulars. So just keep up the work, whereever you are and things will get better for you.

Ooh, I'm a GH fan too!!! :D When I'm done on MyFreeCams or Streamate for the night, I log onto AdultWork paid chat mode while getting caught up on General Hospital on ABC.com. That's my show, and I miss my Jason Morgan. :(

I'm running the encoder, my lighting is good, my personality is just as great as it was when I was making bank, I'm on the FIRST ROW OF THE FIRST PAGE and... NOTHING! I'm just gonna pop immune boosting vitamins constantly so this never happens again... *runs off crying*

This time of the year is tough on camming, I had the same low period last year. Right now, just have to find the right site...Naked is a PIA, SM is unpredictable and MFC has too many freeloaders, plus girls who give too much away.
Hang in there.....

OMG BrownFox another GH fan!!!!! Gah yes! But I do NOT miss Jason Morgan, lol. I am LOVING that they are bringing so many other people back from the dead though, like AJ, Duke, Faison, and even ghost Alan making an appearance. And Robert Scorpio is back, that bitch nurse Obrecht better not have killed him! And Jerry, loved that he survived the boat crash! Loving Lucy Coe coming for the Nurse's Ball, and the ELQ takeover!!!!
Okay, back on topic: camming sucks because I put in about 6 hours yesterday and only made $40. Omfg. No one talks, no one types, no one tips- silence. At one point I had over a dozen guys in my free chat just parked there, wouldn't say anything, no tipping, nada. So I got pissy, how is it entertaining for them to just sit and stare at me looking bored as hell??? I insulted them all and logged out. Not smart on my part but I was just SO angry that they couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge me. For hours. That's one thing about Naked, guys hardly ever talk and when they do 90% of the time it's begging for freebies. I tell them so much, "Yes, I will show you as soon as you tip me, just like it says in the room topic"- I feel like a broken record and they just ask over and over again. I am hoping SM is as good to me as it was this time last year. I just wish they'd approve me already! I tried emailing Vanessa but she said that she can't help me because I'm going through DP so in-house model support has to do it. Great. I don't want to give up on naked because when it raines it pours, like the other day when I made $60 in 30 minutes from one long private and a bunch of spies. That part is beautiful. But UGH the hours long dry spells are NOT making me happy!!!!

I spent like 3 hours in wa-wa-woom sexy outfit makin 0. Zero. I couldn't believe it. I changed to sweatpants and tank top, logged back on and in 2 minutes I had my first private. Plus the guy had been in my room earlier that day, apparently he didn't like the sexy outfit... I kind of regret spending 100$ on lingerie the other day.

Interesting fact: The last time I spent money on "lingerie" specifically for camming was 6 months ago. And it was just sexy tanks. Once in a while I buy stockings to use in clips & then use those while camming. But in my experience I'm better off not spending money on it.

Lol my most popular outfit is a low-cut, tight, little black dress. It's short, tight and low, but since it's all black you can't see much of my curves or really tell what my body is like on cam. It's hella comfy though! I did well the other day in jeans and a long-sleeved white shirt with a bright bra showing through. The strangest things will sell lol.

So, I actually had a decent week considering I was super lazy and 90% of my regulars are already tied up in holiday festivities. Then I got a 1 star rating. He spent 15 f****** minutes in private. He actually provided positive feedback the entire time. He stopped to say it was great and thank you. Then he left a 1 star rating, and it's been 6 hours. I'm still fuming over this.
I can't wait until the holidays are over so all of my regular chat buddies come back. Time goes so much faster when I'm not just answering the same questions 1000 times a day. The tedium is killing my patience. *sigh*
These guys are such a mystery to me- I understand that some may do it intentionally,some do it accidentally etc etc but how...exactly do you even do it accidentally? I have wondered at times,since Ive never taken another model private,if the ratings system is explained properly when they are given the chance to rate or comment? I could totally see some dumbasses thinking 1 is the best (oh yeeea,shes def the #1 boss bitch of SM!woo!she gon' lub me forever after this rating!) especially since theyre men who have JUST had an orgasm- even geniuses are usually reduced to a spent caveman-esque blob of a man in the cple min after having one..

I know what you mean about fuming over it, but if the guy was obviously enjoying the show and complimenting you, then it's a mistake. So e-mail support to get it removed, include a screenshot of him telling you how good it was (if you can), and then put it out of your mind. It may take a few days, but then that rating will be gone.

It's very possible he did the 1 star on accident. I had this happen recently, a guy spent a long time in private and seemed happy with the show and ended up rating a 1. I blocked him next time he came in but did not block him from messages, so he ended up messaging me to ask why he was blocked and I told him it was because he rated me 1 star. He said it was an accident and so I gave him the benefit of the doubt... unblocked him and he took me for another long private and rated a 5.
So you know, those things can happen. I'd ask him next time you see him... very well might be a mistake since he spent so much time and seemed happy during the show!

This is a good question. I don't take models private with my member's account, so I'm not sure how the ratings page looks on their end. I think that next to the number 5, they should have in parentheses 'Great,' and next to the number 1 they should have 'Bad' or 'Poor', just to be certain there's no confusion about how to rate the model.
I know sometimes on ImLive when I get the guys bugging me about meeting in person, they end the session abruptly when they realize that ain't gonna happen. So then I may take a screenshot of the conversation JUST IN CASE they decide to rate me badly out of spite. So far, no one's done that yet.

Yeah, I had taken 2 Benadryl tablets last night and fell asleep. I got on SM this morning from 5 AM - 7 AM EST, and made a whopping $3. Not a premium/exclusive show, and only 2 people tipped me 5 Gold. One guy who knows me from MFC found me on SM, claiming that he's actually seen me in person before, asking if it's okay to introduce himself next time he sees me. I told him if that's true, message my inbox and tell me where exactly he's seen me. He never did...lol.
Aye yi-yi, I have to stop doing Streamate free chat at the weird hours when it's a bunch of cheapasses online. I need to get back on there at 10 or 11 PM EST. I actually think I would've been better off just logging into AW this early morning.

Second that. 95% guys with fetish for a certain kind of lingerie/footwear can't stand the thought of paying you for putting it on (because they want you dressed, not undressed, you know). All the fetish stuff I bought, like corsets and thigh-high boots, is gathering dust in my closet, because noone wants them for pvts and they are too uncomfortable for me to wear them in free chat (I do long shifts, so my clothes have to be comfortable). Toys and bondage gear proved to be a far better investment.

Don't leave your site! Trust me I feel your pain, I was on my main site for an hour today and only made $4.50, more than half of which came from another model I am friends with! So I hopped on my back up and made more than I needed to make today quite easily. I almost made the mistake of quitting my secondary site but on slow days like today I am SO glad I didn't! Seriously, even if you hardly ever cam where you are now don't give it up completely once you're on SM. On the days SM is slow it might be busy there and you will be glad you didn't close your account on your current site!

3 hours in free chat on naked this morning: $0. 3 hours this evening: $6.88. Only sold one video on MGF today. Total for the day/ $14.31.
The last three days I've made way over my goal, so even if you average in this slow day I'm still ahead of schedule earnings-wise. Even so I feel frustrated and worthless.

Is it me or the guys cum way to fast on that site. I'll get someone in they sit there say hi and nothing else then leave in 30 seconds. The only thing I'm glad about is that it's a paid 30 seconds lol. Adds up fairly fast when there are so many doing the same thing.
