I've made almost nothing on Chaturbate for hours. Ugh. No regulars in sight. Cams were glitching too. Customers even mentioned it.
However, did unusually well on Cams. Weird. I usually do so so there.

Not too bad tonight but it sucks to have gold members sit in on your cam show for an hour at stripchat. No tipping or nothing. They did not speak or say anything. :(

ARRRRGGGHHHHH Guys who won't say a god damn word when they take you private and you ask them what they want and then when they leave after you've done your typical show instead of something catered to them they give you a low rating. FUCK ALL OF YOU.

I'm pretty fucking pissed that I did all those bullshit-ass Amazon Mechanical Turk jobs for nothing, because the earnings that I transferred to my bank account never went to my account. It's been a few weeks now. That chump change could really help me out now, since I don't even have money to buy myself Zyrtec.

my first week logging in everyday in over a year probably, I had high hopes too because I had logged in randomly one day a week or so for the last few weeks and made decent money, so surely logging in every single day regularly would equal good money....NOPE! So frustrated, I made less than $10 total probably on like 4 sites all week combined. The only real money I made all week was on skype which I just leave open all day everyday xD and even then its peanuts compared to what I use to make. bleck

Shit week. Shit past few weeks, honestly, just like everyone else. SM has just been a pain, and within 30 minutes of being on I am usually so bored and dreading the long hours of staring at the screen as a hundred men log in and log right back out of my room that I end up logging off super early. Its a struggle just to stay on two hours lol. Where the fuck have all the paying men gone? I hope this slump ends soon, really soon, for all of us....its been going on long enough to scare me a little.

^ seems like every "season" is slow these days
I notice it usually goes this way...."it's Summer and people are on vacation/kids are home from school" followed by "they don't have money left after taking vacation" then "they're saving for Christmas" followed by "they're paying off Christmas bills" then " tax time is coming up" then "they're paying off their taxes" and then the Summer thing starts again...Lol...oh and can't forget all the sports that are peppered in there.
Can only speak from my personal experience but things never seem to pick up after each of those things is done. Just another "reason" for the slowness comes up.

Camming sucked today. Got up early just to cam, got ready got on and nothing but in and outs, chatters and 1 measly 1 minute pvts and a few tips...$6 on one site for a half hour and $50 on my indy site for 15 mins. After that I just signed off said fuck it! Its Saturday and my hubby is off so went out and had some fun...Fuck camming today. So dreadful when its slow.

Let me tell you about mercury retrograde.. the last few days after.. my laptop;s fan is making seriously loud noise!.. the digestive enzymes I ordered from amazon were routed to Washington DC.. I live in Florida.. then I ask them about the order.. supposed to get 2 bottles for over $40 and no free shipping.. nope we have only 1 bottle.. complete bullshit!.. I have ordered this particular brand for 5 months now!.. so now I am asking for a refund.. these enzymes cost over $20+ not going to pay over $40+ for one bottle.. I think I was bait and switched.. I read other's feedback about how they never got their order.. so yea.. I think my merc retro cup is runneth over now!.. going to treat me and my son's to a nice expensive dinner where people will be fucking nice to me.. for the love of god!

Yeah, it was a bad one. My internet went out a lot of the 3 weeks of Retrograde ..RIGHT in the middle of me needing extra money for my big move .
*Glad you were able to go out and treat you and your sons to dinner.

That's probably not it at all. These guys come in already know they're going to give you a low rating and just watch your show as a bonus. Like I saw her fuck and then I rated her shit. Women haters. Or other models/model friends trying to rate you low to get you out of your spot/ rattle your cage.
Wtf is going on this am? NOTHING!!! That's what. Knock -knock. who's there? NOBODY LOLOLOL

As if I wasn't expecting every cammodel and her fuckbuddy jumping on during my dayshift tomorrow now we're having a lovely contest. So I expected that b/c of the debates tomorrow night. BUt what is making it slow for the rest of the week that they're doing it for 5 days? I don't even want to go there on the amounts. You ladies knock yourselves out. I'll be there just doing what I do. #nottop200

Same. this is the hardest part in this job for me. If i do 8 hours, i m too tired to go out and do anyhting good. Easier to stay at home, but it leads to do the same shit every day. Feel like drained all the time. And that sucks. Sigh.

It's probably the men who hate women. I remember a long time ago, seeing a profile that was full of 5-star ratings, and then had one 1-star rating that said something along the lines of "Saw all these 5-star ratings, so I thought I'd give her a 1 just to mix it up a little. LOL!" SMFH!
I figure the miserable, fellow models are more likely to spy on your free chat, talk shit in your chat, and maybe in their own chat...hoping that their viewers will kiss ass and be all "Well YOU're hotter than her, bb!" Smh. But who knows? I could be wrong.

How many fucking times do I gotta tell people at this school to call MY cell phone number about anything regarding my son??? NOT my mom's cell phone and NOT my sister's cell phone. SMH. I ONLY gave them their numbers as emergency contacts in the unlikely event that I can't be reached (like if he needs to be picked up from school asap, and they can't reach me). My mom or my sister do not need to be getting phone calls about behavioral issues and/or info on his new bus number! I just had to leave a pissed off voicemail on the school's phone about this, because I'm tired of telling them this. Now when I go there tonight for Back to School Night, I'm gonna have to repeat myself and leave a fucking letter about it.

I've been guilty of this too.
But, oddly enough, when I get out and do something fun, I make more money when I hop back on cam.

Got a chafe from new pants that hurts like mad and looks like something nasty and veneral. Now I have to choose between not camming until it heals or putting concealer on it which will probably make it worse.

I made about $13 in the 6 1/2 hours I was on yesterday.Traffic was wretched, I had to block about a third of the guys who did come in my room and when I finally got a regular who usually gets decent length shows, no matter what we did I couldn't get him to both see me and hear me at the same time. It was one or the other so finally the guy just tipped me and left. I'm scared for today.

I had an absolutely horrible first day. I made $0. A bunch of guys came in just trying to talk dirty to me in free chat and not even bother with exclusives or anything. I feel like I have so much I need to work on too.. my social abilities.. my hustle.. figuring out how to engage people? I used to do really good so I don't know why it feels so discouraging right now. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself considering how slow its been lately.. As long as you are being attentive, sociable & positive you should be fine... Right now it's full of freeloading broke / cheap timer wasters but with camming that could change at any moment.... It's unpredictable.. Sometimes for the worse or the best.. That's why it's good to have more than one egg in your basket... & don't stay reading this thread too long before you talk yourself out of getting online.. Gotta at least try because one things for sure... If you don't do nothing that's exactly what you'll get =
NOTHING

That's true. I only have streamate right now because I'm just getting back into camming. I'm terrified of token sites. I may have to start doing clips and pic sets quickly too.
ETA: I don't know if I played any role in it today either, it was so slow I was back and forth between here and there so I probably wasn't as engaged as I was two years ago when I had no distractions while camming. I'll try that way tomorrow.

I hate these fucking lame freeloaders who make this shit slow as fuck.
I m getting to a point when i don t care anymore if they come in or not... they can go fuck themselves.
And this: the moron sit in my room aint bothering himself to say a hi, or show any interest... and there is like... 20 member like this in the same time. I m kicking them out, and IN THAT MOMENT they re back again. Wtf these people think, is this a tv? They can sit here all day long, doing nothing, just bark sometimes if they dont like the "free show"? ppppppffffffffffff
Just so fucking annoying, it makes me wanna cry.
I m going to the gym instead, the shit ll sit here for hours, and hope to get a pvt once, sooooooon. I had a good mood, but these fuckers just sit here to kill it, well, bye than, see u never. :D
