I honestly didn't realise how mentally drawning camming can be. I work one day and it feels like I worked 30 days straight. It's so so hard having to deal with the same stupid questions every single day...to pretend you're happy and horny when all you feel like doing is crying...to have to ignore guys asking for freebies.
Jesus...Honestly...I can't wait to leave this job...It's a completely stupid the one who ever said this is easy money

I am comfy with my 6.99/8.99 SM rate.. I tried charging less.. doesn't really do much for me .. and I don't feel good about it at all.. so I prefer this rate. I don't want to go up and down .. I think it's perfect.
And that's great! You found what works best for you. But someone else may make way more at a lower rate.

Camming through a stomach virus because I need the money. Yea, I'm a fucking trooper.
Hope you feel better soon. Thats hard working sick, hope you have a good night.

Im one with a lower rate but to me that works for me because i stay busy constantly and make my goals at the end of the night so im happy with it, ive tried higher rates than i am and it just keeps me longer in free chat which i cant stand and takes longer to reach my goals i need. I would rather be busy, cant stand sitting and it keeps the assholes at bay so they cant mess with me that way. I get good rates and am making what i want so thats good for me.Some do well with higher but for me i do what works best for myself and it works out to make more than i would if i was higher for the same hours.

I see that it's still pretty lame on cam.. I cannot even bring myself to work 6 hours a day since Sunday.. I took Monday off , only worked 3 hours yesterday and probably only working 4-5 today.. uggh.. what for.. I have a hard time being motivated when the money isn't there.

I am sorry, I can't even imagine having to do this job preggos.. .. When I was pregnant I was doing some telemarketing job and actually was in labor for 3 hours til my shift was over.. not only that but I had to wear bedroom slippers to work.. my feet were so fat and swollen.. but at least I just sat there and talked on the phone.... The first time I was pregnant I just stayed home the whole time while my man went off to work .. so that was a cake walk.
it seemed slow but i made like 83 in an hour. not shabby. being pregnant and camming is so hard. i can barely move!

Yesterday was my highest earning day ever and today I made $50 haha. Granted I was only in free chat like an hour and that $50 was from a very easy Skype show but still kind of frustrating cause I got so hyped to earn big bucks again today and it was just crickets

11-02-2016, 03:57 PM
yea i have had bad days though where i don't even get a show at all.. like today!.. but i didn't work my usual 6 hours either ....so yea i can't be all changing my rate to a lower rate cuz no one got a show today.. that doesn't even work out for me at all for some reason.. hmmm.. wish it did.
And that's great! You found what works best for you. But someone else may make way more at a lower rate.

Maybe they make more money charging less? I'm pretty sure most of us have experimented with our prices...moving them up or moving them down we stick with what makes us the most money in the end.
Agreed. I make over $100 an hour charging $3.99 per minute.
Multiple guys. It's like compound interest in an investment.

Seems like Livejasmin ll be the new chaturbate. Many girls now, jumping around brainless, nearly naked in free chat, coz it s slow, a long time ago.
But at least, freeloaders have a good time.

That happened to me also.. this asshole said he would do a show with me if I was $1 a minute cheaper.. I lowered my rates a few days before he said that to a $1 fucking less a minute.. in fact I went from $5 to $4 on my Skype sites as well.. and NOTHING!.. just nothing anywhere.. I don't want to lower my rates much lower than what I am used to because it doesn't matter if there is just no fucking money anywhere.. I mean seriously I am on a shit ton of sites and stuff and my income has been cut in half!.. I started doing bad in August but nothing like this where I am making half per hour than I am used to.
Don't bother, it's definitely not about the price.
I made my pvt 0.99 yesterday just to see what happens. (it was like TOTES dead so I thought it wasn't gonna make the things much worse; my regs go Exclusive anyway). It hasn't improved the traffic, or the conversion, or my paid vs free time ratio, or length of privates, like NOTHING AT ALL.

Holy fuck. Only made twenty dollars in the entire three or four hours I've been on. And I lose my temper yet again because it's the same idiots asking the same dumb fuck questions over and over again. And I have this one idiot who has been blowing up my inbox since yesterday with the same question. Guys asking me about what size dick I like. Looks like weekdays aren't gonna work for me.

Just spent hours trying to find femdomme clips to learn from, after searching mainstream porn sites and finding nothing useful, I go to iwantclips to purchase some quality looks vids.
Error: Cannot process your order. I tried it from my phone, my laptop, restarting everything...what. That site is glitchy af. I don't know how girls are banking on it. So annoyed. It's not like I'm looking to copy cat, I just need to see how verbal humiliation is done. Tired of trying to expand and only wasting time.

lowest cam day in history, well ok there wee those 2 days of $0.00.....
I do not understand.. Sat night is typically my bread and butter.. lots of traffic, I look wonderful I am feeling good.... 3 hours and $36.... I don't understand.... I have been at this for 6 years... I get bad days, but every day is getting worse... I am starting to get scared that it is me when i see chicas posting they made a good amount.... I guess I will try again in the morning...

It's not just you. For me too, the last 5 days were at a really low level than i am used to. Fuck it, i doubt i had so many days in a row at such a low level. I really don't know what it's happening but I hope it will pick itself back up. I am doing also a really diffcult diet and gave up on some imp pillls trough the diet. So it is already diffcult to cam for 8 hours & now this stupid low shit ? I really hope it's just a thing that will eventually go away. Big bucks days come back soon please LOL.

Well this maybe isn't the right thread for it but I'm super irritated RN. I started camming with my husband about a year ago and then slowly morphed into being a solo cam girl, which I'm taking pretty seriously as of late. Anyway every now and then he wants to log in together but he's always fucking my shit up. Last night we had a pretty frustrating and not very productive session.
He just doesn't get it, like what people expect and how to interact with them. Plus he's color blind so he's always giving the wrong people attention! I keep telling him to leave it to me. He can get confused and jealous when my regulars show up and we clearly have a rapport (what does he think I do all day? I discuss every day to him in detail lol). Then after teasing and being excited for hours our cum show is like 2 mins because he's overly excited. Usually he's hyper concerned about me cumming but in that environment he goes nuts and I get left hanging.
He's really not cut out for camming at all, but as much as I try to gently (or not so gently) tell him, he keeps insisting that he'll do better and be on board, etc. It's weird because he's great in bed and super hot... but there is a lot more to being successful at this! We usually get into a fight afterwards. I would like to stop the couples stuff altogether but for some reason he still finds it fun despite all the fighting and awkwardness and I do feel a certain obligation to let him get in on it if he wants. We have done well money wise together so it's tough because saying no might also mean saying no to some good money.
I feel like these lack luster couple shows are messing up my solo stuff though because we are usually selling tickets to what ends up being a disappointing show. I mean nobody is usually complaining but on my solo account I really try to make sure people feel they are getting a good value and are fully entertained. For him it's a whatever fun time, but I'm over here trying to build a business! In any case I'm looking forward to Monday when I'll have the house to myself and I can do my own thing. Just had to vent!! I do think I'll say no to couples stuff moving forward >.<

Oh honey, I can empathize completely. I had to straight up tell my husband that I didn't want him to cam with me, and that I prefer to cam by myself during the day, when he is at work. He just messes up my vibe so much, doesn't get how every little thing can have an effect on my attitude, and that people sense that!!!!! And while he does like to watch me on cam from his computer, if it gets slow, he will play on his ipad. So here I am on cam trying to be sexy, and I look over, and he's not even paying attention! It just takes it right out of me. So I understand how you feel. Can you focus more on solo shows? Or maybe incorporate him into something simple, like a bj show...but tie him up so he can't stroke it and make himself cum too quickly? Then you could tease him and drag it out a bit.......
Or maybe make some clips with him and sell those during your solo shows?

Ashalicious - those are great suggestions!! Thank you also for sharing your experience! It's nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem, not that I wish it on anyone! :)
After venting here, he and I had a big talk about it and he freely admitted that he's just not really cam material and some things need to change before doing it together again - so I'm beyond relieved. It's hard when you don't want to hurt their feelings OR your business. They don't get that we are making split decisions for what is going to be the best outcome, and they just need to go with the flow and look alive! Lol

WHY is it that when I tell a bitch that I'm a cam model, that their immediate response is, " I want to do that too!" I'm Talking about guys also. Fuck off! :finger: I tell them there's no money in camming,
and they're not hiring.
This after one bitch tells me that I have dark circles under my eyes , and asks if my ass is real.

Jealous much?

Annoys the hell out of me when some men think woman can take a giant dildo up the ass in less than 10min with little lube. With practice I'm sure it would slide right in him, but my butthole needs time! The rushing is a major mood killer and makes me want to stop offering anal other than plug play.
