I've had two guys in as many shifts pull the good old "go straight into exclusive, turn on c2c, pull out ya dick and leave before getting charged" shit. First one I got caught off guard and he got me. Shit, I was so angry, I hadn't been that pissed off about anything on cam for months. Surprise dick is a terrible thing to behold.

I refused to accept the second guy's c2c invitation but at least I was on my guard (okay, you can't be sure, but I'm 99% certain that's what he was trying to pull) and he left 1 second after getting charged. Hell yeah bitch!!

Those guys piss me off too, especially when its a busy room and they take you exclusive and clear the room out for that bullshit. Makes me want to rip it off. haha ok that was a little extreme but you know what i mean.:D

I will admit i dont have the best internet speed right now but im not choppy or slow just slightly not crisp is you can call it that? Im still trying with the encoder i downloaded FMLE,but i had mic issues with it yesterday.im on 3 days for 6 hrs during the day. I just started this week so maybe besides the internet im not on at a good time?Or not enough. I get plenty of people in but the minute i say tip for the request they either dip,try to get me to do skype for paypal,or like before i got off try to hustle me with 5000 gold sitting in free chat,but wont tip for a flash,trying to be a free chat dom. :( No one has complained about my feed,but maybe beacuse they dont? Idk, i knew by reading here there were going to be slow days sometimes,but Im trying,upping internet is not feasible right now,but will be sometime soon. I know i can do better,im just not giving up.

No, definitely don't give up. It has been a very slow week for me as well. What settings are you using for FMLE? Are you able to broadcast HD720 or are you using Legacy settings? Do you know where your placement is when you look for yourself? All of that can factor in on how much money you'll be able to make. Better quality using higher settings, how much time you're putting in, what your percentage in paid chat is, and internet speed all factor in to your placement...the better your placement, the better your chances at making more money. Just keep at it...do what you can to make your stream better and put in good hours to increase your chances of being seen and making new regs. You sound like you're working smart, so that's great...just keep at it! Determination will get you there :)

ETA: This week has sucked monkey balls!! I ended the week just under my low goal, but I have nothing left in me to continue. I'll get back at it next week and hope it's better.

Thanks Solo, you know,i didnt even understand the thing at first, so i may be using legacy settings lol.when i was on earlier i was on first page bbw,3rd or fourth row. i did get two five stars, but they didnt leave comments even though i remind them.Many have been coplaining about me not having pics as reasons for not "investing",but many girls dont have them and im still waiting for sm to approve them.I emailed and got the copypasta reply.::)I also work another site that i get a few privates and tips.Oh i sold a couple of my "very first" vids on manyvids the other day.So i guess a day at a time huh lol Just thought about it, with all that combined i made 68.94 this week.:D Not a goldmine but its a start, ill be super happy when i make bank on each site and can cash it all out WOOOOO!

Seeing top row girls vibe their pussy in free chat basically give a show for a few gold... so not cool, man. So not cool.


Today i seen a chick laying in the bed naked if free chat. her screenshot was her naked with her ass to the cam and her leg jacked up.Now i may be new to this Lady of the Cam thing,but i distinctly remember reading that there is no below the belt nudity in free chat,let alone your fucking uncovered pussy facing the screen.All for a few tips, and my ass having to deal with"youre new,thats what you have to do to make money" bullshit,or something like it.Or am i still so wet behind the ears at this that im missing something?:sarcastic

^yeah no nudity below the belt or you'll risk suspension. There will always be those who flout the rules and try to get an edge over the competition, but if I've learned anything about camming, it's that spending custies aren't here to throw $4 a min at any ol' random pussy. They can find a million exposed pussies for free ALL over the internet. It's your personality and charm that they're paying for, the privilege of watching YOU interact with them, YOU undressing for them and getting off for them.

Don't worry about those girls. Their nudity doesn't make your charm shine any less brightly for the custies who are here to see you. Every single camgirl gets trolls who want to see nudity for free, but we make our money off the men who understand that our bodies are a treasure worth paying for.

There are a lot of models showing in free chat below belt.I`m often told "But bb,others flash pussy in fc"::) .I couln`t care less.

The last idiot in fc today couldn`t understand why I won`t shit for him in exclusive,because others do.Like I`m supposed to do what others do.Not to mention that no one can shit on demand,I wonder how those girls did it::) Idiots.

I've gotten a handful of unwarranted 3- and 4-star ratings this week on SM. My average rating went from a perfect 5 to 4.93. Ugh. Will tech support remove those or only 1-2 star ratings?

webcamcutie
01-16-2016, 02:51 PM
I've tried and they won't remove it because they don't see 3-4 as a BAD rating. Even after I persisted especially when I had a 3 star from a member that obviously enjoyed the show and had done shows with me before, they still said no and that members are allowed to rate as they see fit. I gave up trying.

I am kicking myself. I stopped working Saturdays because they have always been my slowest days and pull my hourly average way down. I was supposed to cam yesterday after work but last minute decided to go for dinner with a friend and then was so full and sleepy that I cancelled my cam-jam. So, I made up my hours today, but it was what BadBitch calls "a MickeyD day". (love that so much, by the way) Saturday guys are always so freaking broke!

I'm not gonna waste my hair and makeup though and I'm off to film some clips instead. Lesson learned though and I'm kicking my own ass for not sticking to my schedule haha.

Marina Starr
01-16-2016, 03:16 PM
Those are the worst! I'd rather get 1 or 2 stars so I can them removed! I know it sucks but the guys don't really look at your rating. If they like you, they'll spend!

Oh totally. I'm not concerned about the guys caring about the rating -- I was under the impression that average rating has an affect on placement. I was further down than I usually am last night and I'm wondering if that's why.

I think I want to quit camming. Yes, once and for all. Oh someone please tell me i'll make a mistake? I don't like giving up! Last time i went on cam a few days ago I lost my shit to the guys. It got so overwhelming! I have been doing this for over 3 years, you would think I could keep my cool.

No one can tell you what's best for you but just with everything in life from jobs to relationships, if you're happy some of the time and unhappy MOST of the time then something has to change.

People always say it's just a slow time of year, but it seems that every time of year is slow. =(
I feel like money is drying up every where, but then again there are still girls banking it. I've tried to change my cam schedule from fewer but longer shifts, to more frequent but shorter shifts. It really seems like it's just hit or miss for me. Really affects my mood on cam though.

I am normally very calm and try not to get angry on cam but this guy i just had here in freechat on SM pissed me off & i snapped, not terribly bad but unusual for me.

"onestickman11: if u stand up and all i see is just you legs u then drop pantys down u legs i will take u into the exc room just u and i 1on1 c2c
what a sweert voice
no i am not that way
i be true to u
i am not that way
i not asking to see you nude
i will be with u in exc
i not asknt to see u flash
i will tip u to see nude not tip to see u stand what isd wrong to just stand
see u just stand
i not ask to see no nude
i know this is a job
ok
ok
i am sorry
i am sorry i make u mad
ok i am sorry
i am really sorry
sorry i upset you"

all these while i was telling him i have a tip menu in my room topic INCLUDING for standing. What pissed me off was the fact that he tried to fool me considering i am a grown up woman of middle age & not a young new girl who just started & could fall for his bullshit. I was talking to him & i almost never talk in freechat but was easier & faster to tell him all the things using voice. Moron!

Anyway. back on topic, if u quit, do u have other alternative to make money? Will it hurt ur income? I remember u a fresh mom and have other kids too?
You know how many times i wanted to quit & still want to quit in 15 years of cam career? Every single day, few times a day at least so i think it sums up to million times no kidding.
Some years ago i quit cause personal reasons other than having enough of it, got a vanilla job with low pay & continued to cam when i got the chance but then i changed the vanilla job & could not cam anymore, i was too exhausted from work as i worked different hrs and schedule, after a few months i left that last job and went back to camming where i am still and still want to quit.
What keeps me here? The need for money, i could not make it without this income, i am single, no man to contribute here. So yeah, think if u can manage w.o this cam income. Business is terrible lately for many girls, is very slow for me too but tonite i managed to make some money so i am content. Last week was terrible, i hope this one is better, we can only hope & carry on or go for a drastic change & take the risk.
Good luck no matter what u decide to do (just for the record, i am the person type who leaves when there is no reason to stay be it relationships, jobs, so on but this job is still making me money so as long i can live from it still, i am staying, i could not work anything else anyway because of health issues).

I got scammed the other day. Guy came in and asked, "Will you tell me to cum on your toes in excl?" I said yes. He takes me. I tried stalling but he fucking left right after I took my thigh high off. I guess he caught a glimpse of my foot. I was FUMING.

LOL are you shitting me?! (pun intended) wow, this is an interesting job, but i take it seriously about making my money,and im not one to easily flout something because "someone else does it".Yes it's a very revealing trade but just because I decided to take off my clothes and dildo my pussy til the cows come home, doesn't mean i've suddenly lowered my standards on how to be treated or talked to(at least depending on the roleplay::)).if anything i've become even more on point about it. As far as shitting on demand,girl you got me!I read one time that in faux scat porn they use a baster or some crap to push unsweetned brownie batter up the browneye so it looks like a soft one coming out. it was something i read a while back when two girls one cup was all the rage.

below the waist nudity. I've reported this account before in the past, but here it is again. Doesn't SM support monitor this crap?

i covered bad parts and name to protect back-lashing against any models. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. Nothing will ever get done if people don't keep reporting the ones who don't follow the rules. The rules are there for a reason and I always stand up to the code of conduct SM asks for. When i paid more attention to it, I think I would find about 1 model a week doing the same thing. I attached the link to the photo so it wouldn't display openly in here.

YOu know.I"m so fucking sick of the pixlating video I have dealt with for two weeks now. This happened about two months ago and just all of a sudden cleared up. I can't make money with this crap going on. I have checked and checked my internet...it is not ME! Same fucking settings, nothing has changed. I'm sorry girls...I"m just so annoyed and frustrated. I can't run that stupid ass new Streamate broadcaster...it's worse than the encoder. I thought it was suppose to be better? Not so...and I have sent in numerous what I think of this new feature e-mails. I have to pay my property taxes and pay for my son to have oral surgery on his impacted canines. I am seriously done with this company as soon as my kids are out of school. I'm done with all camming period.

I've gotten a handful of unwarranted 3- and 4-star ratings this week on SM. My average rating went from a perfect 5 to 4.93. Ugh. Will tech support remove those or only 1-2 star ratings?

The EXACT same thing happened to me the other week, I feel your pain, it's SO annoying. One of the guys came back into my room so I confronted him about it and he said he thought 4 stars was a good rating. Ugh!

Kinda explode and message for a removal, once I'm turned off by someone its hard to get into things. (I'd rather be payed by good clients, than risk getting burned twice.)
They end up on the boot list.. :bump:
