I've signed up to SM, MFC, F4F, Bonga, MyFetL - I went on SM once and sat for 30 mins woth people who popped in and popped out, no one even stayed long enough to chat with. I've been on MFC 3 times, last time for about an hour, had a few people chatting and having fin but only got tipped 10 tokens and no one took me private (rate is 3.99 I think or maybe 2.99 even) -- I'm going to try them more but it takes me time to learn a site and since I know CB best I tend to just jump on there because I'm anxious to get going and make money lol plus I like the goofy/crazyness of CB it works with my personality.
I'm debating on how much to show in free chat, because I prefer the "pay to see" route I don't really want to just get naked and ride a dildo to get high numbers and *hope* people tip me for it....but it seems like those type of rooms are what are popular....
I dunno I gotta figure something out because it's exhausting and I'm still broke lol
SM is like that though, kinda quiet, it's really really like fishing haha. CB is known as being a bit more cheap than MFC, though the traffic is really really good. Market yourself there. But yeah you need hours on SM to get things going on a single shift just like on token sites, its just less bs chatters imo. I like token sites though, don't get me wrong there is big earning there, but you seem like you need to get things going pretty soon and cb and mfc take a bit to get a big audience. Try SM some I'd say, I think you'll make that 300 this month.

You are on too many sites at once. Just focus on one and work on it consistently. You need to stick to a set schedule even though you have a second job. Get your name out there and market on twitter and tumblr. Maybe make some clips when you have the time so you have something else to offer when you're camming.

All good advice thank you ladies! Seriously appreciate it and will apply what I can. Just having a place to vent and get it out makes me feel better in itself, and for that I THANK THIS ENTIRE FORUM!
Camming sucks sometimes, but you all ROCK all the time! :)

Oh sweetie, I've been in your situation before. I started as a camgirl 3 years ago to get out of the same situation and started with MFC. It was okay, but once I switched to SM my world changed. I made money, I SAVED money. I started pulling myself out of the crippling cycle of pay day loans. It took a long time, but it worked.
My suggestion is to try SM again. You need to really stick it out though. 1/2 an hour isn't long enough. Some hours I make nothing and then the next I'll pull in 100+ so patience is key. Put your rates to 4.99/6.99 and set a schedule and stick to it so you can build regulars. SM is what pulled me out of the grips of debt. Sign on to Daily Pay with Boyelyn Models if you can. I recently did that and it took me from doing well with my finances to kicking ass with them.
It will get better if you stick with it. It's not easy, but it's doable! <3

***WARNING! LONG ASS RANT! FEEL FREE TO SKIP! LOL***
(I just really need to vent and have no one else/no where else to do so about cam stuff)
So for July I set what I thought was a realistic goal for myself of $300. I am so beyond broke right now, constantly taking draws from my pay checks and taking out pay day loans to cover rent/paying them back/taking them out again-
I've had to take out a loan too. SMH.

SM is more like a marathon than a sprint. You'll get bored, but if you stick out a schedule and do your hours you will make money there. I literally sat for 2 hours tonight with no shows...but I still made my goal because the other 2.5 hours I worked were hopping! You just have to stick with it and don't get discouraged.

Thank You MsBella and Solo for the SM advice, I'm relieved to hear it's not "just me"- with the people popping in and out but that it is normal for the most part. SM is really intimidating to me, so many GORGEOUS girls and with really proffesional looking set ups, so when I logged on and no one would even stay and talk to me I kind of felt like I didn't belong there because I know I'm just not on that level yet. But I definately feel encouraged to give it a go again, Thanks :)
I seriously appreciate all the insight and encouraging words from everyone, and knowing others have struggled through simillar and came out on top is cimforting to know. I really do enjoy camming, I feel like I've 'found my thing' so to speak and haven't felt that way about a job since I found porn clerking- but whether I enjoy something or not if the job doesn't pay it's hard to justify working it. I won't be giving up anytime soon but it's been rough so far....I'm really greatful I found this place because it's a huge help.
Mad respect! And happy camming yall! :) I hope this "summer slump" that effects everyone ends soon as well!

You can make it girl... we all got to start somewhere... even "top" girls started from the bottom & probably use to think the EXACT same thoughts as you are have the same experiences / situations ... it takes hard work, & determination which from looking at your post, you seem to have... I would HIGHLY advise to never just stick to one site. Split cam at least 2-3 of your choice of sites that you feel comfortable to work on.. If you're the type that can entertain & draw in crowds - go for token based sites... If you are more introverted & prefer more of a one on one interaction the try private based sites or hell do BOTH.. also don't just depend on camming for income. There are many ways to make money in the adult industry. Try making clips, Indy, phone sex, & texting. Signup for as much things as you can (but not overwhelming). If you just depend on one site & one source of income such as camming when that site goes downhill so does your income, at least when you have many sources when one is slow the other should be picking up or at least pulling in extra cash. Some people even draw in their own traffic through social media which does help, by getting known & branding yourself. Trust me, I know how it feels... the advise seems so easier said than done, but you got to try different things to really start seeing some improvement.. and boy does it feel good to reap the benefits of your labor. I'm still learning & got awhile to go, it's a journey of trial & error. Those who want it bad enough will find a way or make one. I think you will do fine, just stay working hard & being consistent
ETA: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE .... SAVEEEEEEE!!!!! You never know when something might come up... don't get to caught up in the numbers you pull in on good nights & blow it all on whatever. I'm not saying don't treat yourself every once in a while because we deserve it for all the hard work we do but don't buy unnecessary things just for kicks thinking you'll just make that back in X amount of days.. camming can be real funny with the ups & downs im telling you.. One week you'll be pulling in big figures, then the next it could be a complete 360 like to where you're only making about half of what you're use to making & you don't want your rent due, bills pilling up & on top of that tech issues & no backup plan or cashed stashed away to cover your ass. Point is... during the good times - SAVE - during the bad times - SAVE .. That way when something unexpected comes up you won't be panicking.

Don't let the gorgeous girls get to you. That's a head trip. When I first started I thought I would never make anything. I don't do 3 ring dildo circus tricks. I'm not a porn star. I'm not beautiful.
I charged really low rates and worked my way up. But in reality I never had to charge those low prices.
Mostly as someone said it's a waiting thing- like fishing.

If i was going to look at the other zillion of cute girls, young ones and with star bodies, i would never go on cam myself. there is money for everyone, maybe not the same as the top girls, but there is. i dont compare myself to anyone nor i get jealous of the ones who make 10 x what i make, i just work on my shows and my hustle. Im happy with what i can accomplish and it takes time to make ur regs and make what we each of us call decent money in our parameters. For instance, when i count my money, i never count in usd, because i dont spend in those, in my case im very lucky coz i make money in a better currency than the one i spend on, so i cant compare to the girls in the us or uk, coz when they say i made 1000, many times i did as well, but in my currency, which is what matters once i live in another country. so every one has their goal. if u read the suck thread, u also will see we complain about camming many times, and this is normal on a job that u have to sell something. so keep calm and u will reach the top.

The guy who made three different accounts to try to string me along on Skype has come back, or it's another dude doing the same tactic "I will pay you but tomorrow" "I will pay you more but on Tuesday" bla bla bla. Every time this happens it completely ruins my mood! I blocked him on SM for being a timewaster, he added me on Skype to ask to be unblocked, I unblocked him, he did the same thing, I blocked him again on SM and told him on skype to never talk to me again until he's sent me money through LCMS, whereby he made a NEW skype account to harass me and promise to pay me... "on tuesday". I'm so fucking sick of this shit. Why can't he just leave me alone? I don't ever want to engage with him again.

Oh man im so beyond frustrated tonight, I havent had a show in over an HOUR. I know this isnt really that long but I've literally never had this much time between shows. All my gold shows are failing, no ones talking to me, no ones taking me to pvt. Im so frustrated cause im literally only 25 dollars away from goal and im sitting for over a freaking hour trying to make it. AND on top of that i spilled my jar of coconut oil all over my bed :( Im so frustrated, I want to scream and/or cry.
I know it doesnt seem THAT bad and I know that lots of girls have worst days but im just feeling super down about it.
SylvySinclair
07-08-2016, 06:18 PM
i would love to stay only 1 hour without shows, in my case its so natural to stay even 6 hrs without making shit. at the end of the day i always make my goal, but not before i have spent at least 3, 4 hrs waiting for a show. Im surprised when girls say they are bored after 1h without a show, but i suppose this is because they do free chat which i dont.

You're right I know only an hour doesnt seem so bad, but everything is relative right? And yea im on streamate so that hour is spent with me chatting with a bunch of guys who come and go with no intention to do a show or beggars asking to "show ___". thats one downside to sites like SM and MFC, you always have to be "on" when you're online, so even when theres no one talking im still watching the screen and trying to keep my smile on. After doing that for an hour with NO results to show for it, it can be demoralizing.
Also SylvySinclair, Damn! 6 hours?!?! Mad respect man. Dedication and consistency is absolutely KEY to being a successful camgirl, and It seems like you got both those qualities in spades! Thats really awesome.

Yeah, i hear u, free chat is very tiring, thats why i dont do it, but i stay 12 hs online every day for 5 days a week, weekends i take off. I had days where i didnt make shit after 8 hrs, 9 hrs and then suddenly i made my goal in a row of 5 guys in my chat. Its harder for me as i dont get naked and dont offer audio, i need to fish the guys interest on gallery, bio and sub guys stuff. My shows are mainly creative roleplays, fetish and taboo scenariums, the only things the guy sees are my cleavage and face. so to keep the guy interested in my show, when im all dressed and not showing any action, its very very tricky. thats why i dont compare myself with anyone, my shows are singular, different, and i need to get a lot of creativity to keep them coming back. the good thing is that i dont sweat with vanilla shows and i can work while i take care of my baby. also is great in winter like now, i remember doing vanilla shows back then and just freezing my ass off. lol
on the other hand the con is that i work much more than other girls. o well, everything has their pros and cons. im ok with it.
Freechat is different than no freechat, 1 hr on SM equals more hrs of no freechat, even u not making money on SM or other freechat sites u still working, u talking to them, hustle, smile, are on all the time and never rest ur face plus stay with all lights on u/ in ur eyes the entire time, is much more tiring than to be logged in on a non freechat site where u can do other things inbetween eventually with no need to be at the pc the whole time.
So yeah, in my opinion there is a huge difference between a freechat site and a non freechat one, i know i was able to cam for 6-7 hrs or more on non freechat sites and now on SM i cant go more than 3-4 hrs shifts. So i'll say freechat is 5 times harder than non freechat and SM and MFC are sites where it matters how much money u making in the time u online while AW for example is different, u can stay logged in w.o a problem & w.o fearing for percent in paid/ camscore, if u want a better position u pay for it no problem. These sites are all different and cant be compared really.
Lastly, camming sucked big time on SM tonite, bleah, all broke guys, no spenders :(

Waiting for more than an hour for a show on freechat sites(SM in particular) didn't use to happen. Use to be able to log on and instantly get a show and have traffic in your room. Now a days it can take 1-2 hours just to get one show/your first show or get a tip. Waiting over an hour just to make 1 cent or waiting more than 5-15 minutes for people to come in your room wasn't the norm on SM. Many ladies were making $25-$100 per hour so when you sit on cam for an hour with $0 and on top of that having to deal with freeloaders and trying to hustle when you're use to making $25-$100 sometimes even more you're gonna be bored and agitated.

Yea before when there was hardly any free chat sites, And I ONLY worked on non free chat sites I was working 8 am - midnite.. with lots of breaks , but was never tired.. now all sites I work on pretty much except for a few are all free chat sites.. I am exhausted and feel like a zombie after 6 hours of cam.... BRING back the non free chat sites!..lol...I never felt like I was bored not talking to anyone.. I watched tv, I researched interesting topic for 8 hours or check my emails.. it was relaxing.

I agree, the free chats are very tiring and i couldnt do it, but it seems that nowadays all sites have only the free chat thing and i run for the hills when its free. I cant stay staring at my screen for even 20 mins as i have so much to do at home. I wonder if there are any good sites with paid chat only, left other than aw, not even talking abt ifriends, because its not considered a great site these days, but aw it is and i would work in 10 like aw than 1 with free chat. Its just impossible for me to sit for 1h focused only on guys talking shit in free. On Ifriends i already stay less as they obbligate us to stay in front of cam at all times, i pause my session every 10 mins to do something that needs to be done at home. Impossible.

This is exactly why I lowered my rates on SM. I refuse to sit and not make money.
Between summer slowdown, and the way the site is now, I still must make at least $100 per hour.
I meet that goal, and even surpass it everytime I log on.
$100 per hour might not be a lot for most cam girls, but it works for me.
I have a life outside of cam, and get really agitated if I'm sitting in a chat room, not making money. Nope, not doing that anymore.
SylvySinclair
07-09-2016, 07:43 AM
i suppose free chat is a higher average money maker than sitting in a paid chat from what ive learned. in paid chat is rare to make 100 per hour, at least in my case. but i also dont have huge rates at all, im in the between on aw. my rates are 1.49 pounds min for grp and 2.49 for prvt, its higher than many girls there now charging the ridiculous fees of 0.80 and 0.90 but its lower than the minority that charge 2 and 4. anyone can charge more, but if u are going to make money with it, thats another thing.

There too huh? Well, as long as the govt. Is paying, I believe these people will NEVER get a job.
None of them know that I cam, but when they start begging for shit, I want to scream, "Bitch, I have to suck and fuck dildos all day, and watch guys jack off. If I can do it, so can you!!"
"Get the FUCK off your lazy twat and DO something!"

I like free chat. It allows me to assess the guy and analyze the best sales strategy. It also allows the guy to find out if he is compatible with you. An emotionally invested customer always converts into sales. Sure, paid chat is nice but it seems to take longer to make a sale in my opinion. For me, currency is more about time and what I make during the time invested. You can always make more money but you can't make more time.

I'm with you here. I get so twitchy in paid-only. Sure, my pics and profile are nice, but out in free, I feel in control of the sale.
(Ironically, I'm writing this logged into paid-only, but that's just because I'm full of 'flu and wouldn't be able to work at all otherwise.)

but i suppose u have to be good in selling u, as any other sales. its something i dont know how to do, so for me is very difficult to make a non payer and turn him to a payer guy. also the talkinh non stop with guys that u dont know if are going to spend, for me its a low patience thing. i hate free and i am not good on it at all. i admire girls who do that and make a lot of just selling themselves.

I am concerned about my behavior!.. I need to get back to my fake nice self again.. I was doing so well.. or maybe it's just there is to many shitty guys online right now.. I do not know!.. anyone has any tips?
It's the summertime dildos out in force. Add that with any kind of stress or hormones and it's a disaster.
There too huh? Well, as long as the govt. Is paying, I believe these people will NEVER get a job.
None of them know that I cam, but when they start begging for shit, I want to scream, "Bitch, I have to suck and fuck dildos all day, and watch guys jack off. If I can do it, so can you!!"
"Get the FUCK off your lazy twat and DO something!"
Get out of my head! LOL

I've been the same way. I log on positive and ready to work a hustle and within 20 minutes I'm giving snarky remarks and just feeling very negative. It's this crowd lately! All they do is beg and make excuses! It's so frustrating and very difficult to do well under those circumstances. I think I just need to start drinking again lol.
I'm blaming it on all the free stuff. Free stuff creates entitled freeloaders. Then ladies make less and less so they undercut each other more and more. Then the guys win. They set us up and most of us fall for it.

OMG speaking of free.. I found out the reason these guys are always asking for Skype shows on Cam4.. some guy just offered me .30 per min for a 5 min show if I do it on Skype.. .30 my cut!.. WTF and so I noticed a reoccurring theme.. they are all asking for shows along the lines of that cheapness.. huh? what fucking girl is giving me them shows THAT cheap? are they crazy?

This is exactly why I lowered my rates on SM. I refuse to sit and not make money.
Between summer slowdown, and the way the site is now, I still must make at least $100 per hour.
I meet that goal, and even surpass it everytime I log on.
$100 per hour might not be a lot for most cam girls, but it works for me.
I have a life outside of cam, and get really agitated if I'm sitting in a chat room, not making money. Nope, not doing that anymore.
I'm the opposite as far as prices and time in free chat. I'd much rather sit in free chat longer and get paid the price that I feel I'm worth...a price I'm comfortable performing for. I don't enjoy myself when doing shows for guys who are cheap anyway...I end up resenting them and miserable. I'm able to keep myself occupied while I wait for the big spenders...the guys that have more money to play with and are willing to pay my higher prices are always more polite and enjoyable.
And honestly, looking at my rate analysis I make way more money with my rates hiked up than I did when they were low. So I'm happy sitting and waiting and not having to tire myself out for a low cost. I just have to keep giving myself pep talks if I feel I'm waiting too long lol.
Everyone is different though...and since I have the time this is how I decide to work.

Yea I think I played with myself 2 times today and made about $260.. I thought to myself how is this even possible?..lol... but some days are like that.. you get a bunch of tips instead of pvt. I myself like a nice mix of both..

Second night on Sm and on cam in general. Ppl jump in and out all the time, most of them don't even talked. A few who talked were for sure freeloaders. They asked me to do things in public in promisse if they liked they would take me prv. Ok, I am new not an idiot. I have read a lot the last few months on SW and I am prepared enough on what I should expect.
I know that it is too early for me to start earning but wtf? Not even a customer? I don't even know what a real customer looks like. I feel lost.

Thank you Sylvy, I need your wishes right now for sure. Especially after the third one who talked to me tonight and the only thing he asked me is if I do sh****t fetish.
Ok, I think I am going to log off after this for tonight.
Reporting : Second night - zero dollars = useless girl.

u are not useless, pls do think or say that, camming is not as easy as some girls make u think. there is a lot of will, effort and a lot of luck along with making money. for a begginer, things can be very frustrating, but once u make few regs, u will feel very energetic and happy and then things start to flow better. pls be aware that many days will be more or less, some will be great and few will be horrendous, this is just how selling things are. when u sell urself is even worse, coz when u dont, u feel discouraged and ugly and think what is wrong with u. well, none of these are true and u are not ugly at all, is just hard to start and make ur following. wait, improve, and above all, have patience. i feel u and even after so many years as a cam girl, i still get frustrated, angry and sad, yet, this is part of the job and we need to cheer up and think abt the great days we will have ahead us.
btw girls, if i wanted to join a site, with no free chat, what site would be? any tips for a lost veteran? ty in advance.
