Guys who have the audacity to complain about MFC models being "money grubbers"...because his favorite MFC models are "sweet," they "don't expect tips," and are just happy with the conversation. LOL.

When I get these two types of days the I gotta "romance" every single guy to get them to go private days. And also the other side of that, the they immediately go private without even telling me if they want me to show my feet or fuck my ass, then they sit in there and don't say a word not a single thing when I ask what they are looking for.

I can relate. It's 110 and higher where I now live, and it will be until late October.
I bought a portable AC,( don't know if u saw my post about it) have 3 fans on me.
Camming any other way is not only tortuous, but dangerous to one's health.
Best of luck.
I was having the same issues, but then I replaced my bulbs with LED white lights. They are 360 directional and around 130 watts each (bought 2), but I swear they light just as well as the 1000w bulbs I replaced with them
Pricey, but you cant put a price on not fainting.
Now, if only I could actually make a goal everything would be aces and I'd be able to afford that purchase lol. Not a great first week camming, I fear I've wasted my CV new status completely :(

I can't stand the "What all do you do in private?" guys. Usually, those are the guys that it's like pulling teeth to get to spend on you, and they ask that question because they think it's such a big fucking deal that they're about to spend X dollars per minute on you in private. They're usually the ones expecting you to do the most (some over-the-top "Fucking all my holes with a 12" dildo and cumming everywhere" circus show because they watch too much porn...lmao).
For me, it was always nice to finally get a guy who says "Oh, you don't have to give me a show. Just relax and chat with me." :)

I didn't sit in free chat for all this time but I thought I will keep all my sites (pso/indie/paid chat) going in the background and see how long it takes me to reach my low goal for the day... 9 hours urgh and 6 of those were in free chat, most of my money came from indie, I'm exhausted and annoyed but hey at least those dollars are mine now! Every cloud and all that...

I feel like I want to cry im so frustrated! ive been online 2 hours and made 22 dollars! This is BEYOND unacceptable for me! I don't understand why its SO DAMN SLOW! usually when this happens it's my rtt or something else glitching but right now everything seems fine and its still MAD slow. Im scared for my future in camming:(
edit: feeling less dramatic now after a regular came and did a show with me. but im still glad I vented :)

girls just a few thoughts, its crazy in sao paulo because of the olympics, i mean mental! if is this crazy here, i cant even think how rio is right now! so, dont get frustrated, a lot of foreigners are in brasil, and i mean, a lot! sp, rio and bh are crowded! it will be slow until olympics are over. today i was out for a saturday off with my family and at the restaurant i met 3 foreigners because they got crazy abt my son looks (half japanese half brazilian), and the 3 were english! lol all 3 from london! figure how much of a coincidence. so stay put coz it will be over soon. xx

ok I haven't been on sm for awhile because I literally dread it when its so slow. come back and its even slower than it was. then I get a customer who is really nice, we do a 40$ show, hes loving every minute, then he leaves unexpectedly. I figure he ran out of money or something. then I go back to his name to leave a note to remember hes a good customer....only his name wasn't "james1234" (not exactly sure of the name) and all of a sudden its "blackstuff.net" I freak out thinking I was just recorded by this guy, check out the website and its a dead website, nothing there. idk wtf that was about. THEN this motherfucker leaves me a 1 star!!! and I know it was him because he was my only customer that day (was only on for an hour) and that's the day that star was left. what the efffff man what a dick, he was clearly loving that shit when it was happening....so now my score which was 5 is now 4.8 all because this one douche. but whats the deal with the name change? anybody had this happen?
SylvySinclair
08-06-2016, 04:24 PM
im starting to think that the guys dont know how to rate....i dont think they all do on purpose, i mean, he clicks one star thinking he did ok but not realizing that one star is bad instead of leaving 5. makes sense? coz its really weird that a guy that was enjoying the show would leave one star on purpose. dunno...

Lol astounds me of the general lack of awareness from these guys in terms of how the site works/how camgirls work.
1) guys thinking us camgirls are gullible/willing to work for free.
asshat: bb ill tip you 100 if you take our your tits
me: really? you think I don't know what youre trying to do?? fine ill entertain it, tip 100 and ill take my shirt off
asshat: geez I just want some trust here
TRUST?! HA! as if it's my first day here
2)during goldshow countdown
asshat: lets go to pvt.
asshat2whosbeenlurkingmyroomfor20mins: aww I wanted to go to excl. maybe later then
asshat 1 will never go to pvt if you cancel the goldshow (unless it's a trusted regular)
asshat 2 is looking for an excuse to stay in your room without paying/tipping for anything. BOTH LAME
3) this ones a cute one. During goldshow countdown
newcustie: I can't wait!
newcustie: 10
newcustie: 10
[Newcustie tipped 10 Gold towards your goldshow (or whatever that message is)]
me: did you just type 10 into the msg box to tip to the show?..
newcustie: yes
LOL loved that one

^ ugh I hate those freeloader types!!!! I'm so grateful I did my research on here before camming bc otherwise these idiots would've been having a cake walk with me *rolls eyes* I took the advise & always demand a tip before showing anything or standing. I rarely even answer their trick questions anymore bc I've soon realized that they can easily get off by your answers alone. bleh

08-06-2016, 10:59 PM
Oh right that is why I can't seem to work chaturbate. It's like these losers want to get off in free chat from ur dirty talk. LOL like hey i will talk about kittens and fairies and occasionally answer some basic questions like what i do in my shows but nothing else. If you want me to talk dirty to you for ages then please for the love of god pay me bitches.
I act so sweet on cam but really I just hate most of these losers that is why I love the sph and sissyboy humiliation types :)

Since he changed his name most likely he knew what he was doing. He will try to come back and do it again under a new name most likely. But if you go to your earnings and click on the name there it will open up sessions and notes. hit notes and leave yourself a note to BAN him. They all come back. Fuck them if they don't like your show or if they're trying to dick your camscore. That is why they need to just get rid of it. If you want models to work for you and be happy just let the guy decide if he doesn't like it to just leave. If not we'd all make more $$$ if they want to be stupid and stay in a show "they don't like."

When some asshole wants me to do a 15 minute custom video for pennies. It takes the same amount of time to shoot, edit and upload to my hosting website that i PAY for except, instead of making $$$$ with that video i just send it to one person, once. They just don't get it. I wanna cut their tiny balls off some days......... *sigh* Also when i told him that i only get this much % of the whole price, he's like "well other girls use paypal" Yeah, thanks for trying to get me banned asshole.

I feel like I would make more from camming if I gave away slightly more free- but the thought of pleasing these pathetic losers for free makes my blood boil. I would also rather kill myself than do free shows like on chaturbate or low buy in gold shows on streamate. I respect some of the girls that make a legit good living doing all that like I'm talking minimum $100,000 a year , but if they don't I wish they would just stop ruining it for the rest of us. I hear about "the old days" of camming when people paid for the littlest things, I dunno if it is true. I do interact with people that come in my room, but I am usually straight to the point within 1-4 sentences of conversation. ( my first line is a sales line if a loser comes in like " i would fk u so hard right now bb") LOL. Occasionally I do legit converse with somebody if it is crawling pace slow, but I cut them off everytime it speeds up. I can't seem to make literally any money whatsoever on Streamate ever since this bullshit contest thing started- granted I log off between 30-90 minutes on there because f*** them. Chaturbate just irritates me people on there are ridiculously fkn demanding and ridiculously fkn cheap. I keep saying I will quit it but haven't got something suitable to replace it. I tried F4F this week and my god the freeloading is even worse than CB I couldn't believe it! The 26% commission is pure bs. So basically I am down to 2 websites that pretty much are keeping me afloat-barely the past 2 or 3 days I have been camming.
Sorry done ranting.

My boyfriend is a little on the heavier side, he's very muscular but his bodyfat is a little high right now and holy shit the amount of assholes on CB lately that have been critiquing his weight makes me so angry. Granted, for every asshole that comments something mean someone else says something very complimentary to him but even though he isn't phased by it and could lose the weight easily if it bothered him it makes me so fucking angry. I literally wait just long enough to call them out on their bullshit and then ban them.

Ugh! Having a weird day. I cam for chaturbate and I feel like their website is glitching more frequently. Had a private chat for 20 minutes with someone and then looked at my account- no tokens loaded. This happened about a week ago as well. Really like working the site (idk, seems so simple and fun to use) but it's getting a little concerning when I have to go to support so often to collect lost tokens. :(

Not on cam but here to rant again. Really wish websites weren't so quick to rip off their models. CB isn't reimbursing me for the pvt show even though I had evidence and everything. The excuse is "we had a site maintenance issue while you were doing pvt". Swear to f, if this keeps happening my ass is gonna be doing the twerk on some other cam site.
Taking deep breaths but also want to slam my head into the wall. Two months we had no problem, now there's a problem practically every week.

Im making an average of $20 on Streamate lately, sometimes more, sometimes less depending on my mood and how long i feel like staying online. since im so new, and it is summer, and i know from experience summer blows, for me its acceptable *for now*. but in the long run, no... not really

was on chaturbate last night, made $6.50 in over an hour, now first hour is always slow, I sometimes stick it out, but that $6.50 was all from the same guy, who left xD, 60 people in my room, and not a one tipping or even talking! If theres a decent conversation going Im more likely to stay on longer, but 60 people after and hour and no one chatting? Nope, not sitting there for that. I feel weird with that many people staring and not even greys chatting. It also pisses me off when guys come into my room and tell me how much theyve missed me, happy to see me, etc, and they are freaking purple! and do not even throw 1 token my way. Yeah ok, you missed me sooooooooooooo much.
made $1 on myfreecams this morning @
[email protected], also in like an hour, again I understand first hour is normally slow, but I went from 30+ people to like 5 in that hour @
[email protected] wtf. logged out of there
went on streamate last night, was on around 30mins $0, 10 people popped in and out of my room, went on streamate this morning....$15 in 30 minutes :D now we were getting somewhere I thought, bam! my kids wake up....fml
was also logged into skype and skyprivate for like 5 hours, the whole time I was trying to cam last night, this morning, during breakfast, etc etc. no bites. UGH
I even have an offer on twitter for dirt cheap customs, one guys asked about it, but no bites. he said very interested, ok....well obviously you werent that very interested or you woulda bought one.

I'm happy with my hourly rate of usually $20-30 an hour. I do splitcam on Imlive and SM so it goes both ways. I get a few CMD indy shows every now and then which helps. Trying my best to promote the indy shows more obviously.
I read models that do $283 in 2 hours and I"m like.......?????????? It would take me all day to earn that much. I'm happy with $100-150 but i'm in my 40's so I'm happy with what I can get for now. I have one year left here in Vegas and I"ll take camming as far as I can but I'll be getting in the vanilla world again. I have to get ready for retirement. Want to move back east....probably Charlotte. I had to get back on my feet and Vegas was a good place to do it in. I'm happy for now. I can earn 3-4000 a month and live on half of that and save the rest so it's good now. My only regret is I didn't find camming sooner many years ago ...might have made bank..oh well.:'(8)>:(

SM is so slow today I almost can't believe it. I know I shouldn't complain when I got 100 in 3 hours but when you compare that to $60-$100 hourly that's just no good. I get tired way faster when it's slow and can't help to log off because man it's so boring. I admire people who can stay the fuck on during show time. I'm too weak!

I guess im just afraid ill jinx it, silly i know, if a rate doesnt work i can always change it.... I do give them a free vid for 3 mins or more in prvt, so i guess higher rates wouldnt be so unjustified, and my vids are HD 10 mins long facials, cumshots, bjs, outdoors, roleplay etc

the first 2 hours of my shift I made 4 bucks....like not one person in my room dead. thank the fucking gods a well paying regular saved me but I still did not hit my goal even then. AND on top of that I had to slyly suggest that regular call me via skype and pay me on sm because sm phone services has not been working...really hope that doesn't get me into trouble even though I got sm paid. but fuck! it was either turn it down and deal with my 4 dollars or do something about it. headlines would read "hustler couldn't catch a break, jumps balcony naked" lol please god let tomorrow be better
