This is my first night back camming in five years. I've been on for four hours and I only made 2 dollars.
I'm never going to be able to afford my nose job *tear*
My internet is absolute shit (1.3 mbps upload speed) so maybe that has something to do with it. But I live in the middle of nowhere, so it's as good as it's going to get. I'm going to stay on until I make something, this is ridiculous...

**correction: I made twenty dollars in four hours. I'm going to take a nap and hopefully the other 280 I need to make by the end of today will fall into place.

i have my first superslow period. I barely made 40$ in 4 days. I wonder if its ever gonna get better. I used to work hard my first year on mfc and it was absolutely amazing. This year i didnt work much and i want to get back to camming, but it seems like its never gonna be good as it used to be. This august i needed money so i log on mfc for the first time this year and made almost 1700$ in 3 days, but now its completely dead for me. My camscore is decent (jumps around 1600-1800) but almost none of my old custies comes online anymore. Maybe its just a slow week? Or should i consider creating new mfc profile? (is it possible?) I'm very upset right now...
thank you.

I'm super sick, tried to work for a couple hours and just got distracted and kept having to blow my nose. I need to work, so I'm just waiting for my dailypay payment so I can go medicate myself into a working mood. Been up for two hours looking dumb on cam before I realized I should just log off and wait until I can get some cold meds.

It was a really bad period for me.
Yesterday was a total bullshit, and I dont know why, but all I see, that haters try to interrupt me to make my job. Rude assholes everywhere, not just one day, but every day.

So this is the last day in the period, aint gonna save the world, in a few hours, i guess.
I'll do a few hours, but actually I couldn t care less.
Sit here, and do crossword puzzle, to prevent myself from falling asleep, while these idiots trashing themselves in free chat.

I m in serious pain from this shit right now.
Fuck it.

Since thanksgiving is coming soon (and christmas), the rooms on Chaturbate, MFC and Streamate are fucking slow or dead. Especially on Chaturbate are so many god damn bugs. Like I found literally so many cam girls complaining about their worst month ever - girls, I can feel you!! I barely make 5-40 dollars a day now, before November I made 100-200 dollars each day. I don't give a fuck about thanks-fucking-giving!! I live in Europe and I need to pay my bills!!! All my regulars are gone!! Fuck these greedy ass junk men. I'm going to get a sugar daddy now I don't care anymore blehh

There are some days when the money seems to come effortlessly and you get decent customers who don't demand ridiculous things of you and then there days when the only money you make comes from an excruciating private show that consists of deepthroating a dildo until you vomit and then slapping yourself in the face until it's bright red and honestly I don't think I can handle having to do that just to afford groceries. Please let one of the 15+ jobs I've applied for this past week come through because I am really having a hard time staying motivated to do this.

A guy just came in my room doing random chit chat. Then he tells me he gave me a couple of flattering tags and added me as a fav. Oh YAY??!! No pvt...no tip but I got two tags and added as a fav.

I'm sure my landlord will take those as payment.

glad I'm not the only one...definitely been super slow this week. I feel like this time of year was rough when I was stripping too.guys shopping for Christmas, buying plane tickets for holiday travel. I know in my house we have cut back and spending all our extra income on buying presents for our huge family. We might have to fly to NY for a family thing so we gotta save for that too. My single guys are still spending but my married regulars have vanished lol. gonna try not to stress about it too much..they'll be back

PS: this is THE best time of year to sell stuff online. time to ebay & etsy until these guys come back rofl

Honestly, I do feel like the general funk people have after the election plus the holidays are affecting things. I mean, people are trying to save money for gifts and people are worried about things like financial instability or feel threatened; none of those things are good for boners. (would have quoted earlier post but the quote function is working funky for me right now)

Yeah but is this our fucking problem?! Damn I live in Europe and (sorry) as a Swiss cam girl I don't give a f-ing shit about the elections!! Is that (and the Holidays) the reason to leave us sex workers broke and alone? Dem greedy men need to go work for our income, damn chickens these men smfh ==;; They bluff with their money but when there's presidental stuff or holidays going on they put back their 1 inch cocks in their pants and run to their families crying...hypocrities!! Ugh how I hate men sometimes...

Sorry for sounding agressive but today is the 5th day that I make only like 2 dollars in 4 hours, if I have luck up to 20-40 dollars (was only once this week). I am glad to have halfway supportive parents for once in this situation who see me struggle and complaining daily.
I decided to take a break from camming, 15-20 days before new years I don't give a fuck if I lose any of my regulars or customers they shall wait for me the way I need to wait for them too all the time when they ain't in my room!! Ughh

the best advice i have ever received was to not only rely on webcam. make some clips, join a sexting site , niteflirt , affiliate work. at one point my only income was SM but after things changed last spring i knew at that point it was sink or swim and my chubby butt chose to swim. I am an affiliate across multiple industries and that is what's saved me. as much as i love and adore webcam, things are changing (better or for worse is matter of personal opinions and experience) which means hustles must change. good luck :)

yeah last night on sm was like this: log on--instant pvt. then sit there by myself for 15 minutes with NO ONE coming in. then finally another private, then sitting by myself. I got so bored I tried chaturbate again. Made $5 taking a nap on there lmao

I picked up a new finsub who's been making my month very rewarding but another domme on SM saw a screenshot of a tribute that I posted on twitter, confronted the guy about it, and now he feels betrayed and doesn't want to talk to me/serve me anymore. Booooo!!!! Well, I shan't be doing that again. What a mess. I actually want to cry a little, feels bad man.

^ I m wondering exactly on the same thing. To sign up for more sites.
I did well on jasmin for years, but now it s just stupid - ass boring.

And i figured out, i do worse on the gym too, since the stress comes into my body (and my mind) too somehow, and I just can t do the things, what I did before.
Or i just dont care anymore about camming, but focus to keep myself well balanced. More sport, obviously, or something I like.

But other sites aint help me too much, if it s true what I see: audience and traffic quality is really dropped down, toooo low somehow.

Well, however. Wish u good luck iwth ur things.

Other sites are slow yes but working on multiple sites is better than working on just 1 because there's still a better chance that you will make more $. Today was slow as fuck for me. I signed on earlier and I was at like $10. I logged off but forced myself to log back on a few hours later. Not bragging but I ended up making $164 on 1 site, $55 on another site and a measly $3 on another site. So if I only worked 1 site I could've easily ended up making only $3. Working multiple sites not only gives you a chance to make more but it also makes you less stressed because you aren't depending on 1 site for income. I know splitting isn't for everyone but I can't help but stress split, split, split and or more eggs in your basket. Splitting has seriously saved my ass and sanity.

So does anyone have any ideas what is going on then? Is this the lull before Christmas? Brexit? Trump? I am hustling hard and staying on and its a struggle it really is. I'm getting there but it half what normally can be earned. I am on two sites splitting but they are both free chat. I'm thinking about turning on my TTM and NF characters too but before now I have drowned in too many eggs. I can only work UK daytime which is US early mornings so any thoughts?

Hi! Just curious, u split 3 sites on the same PC at the same time? Guess u need an i7 for that, right? I run SM on my i5 desktop & that's about it cause if i add more it'll kill my PC. It goes up to 70% CPU with SMB, guess u guys have either stronger PC's or more PC's/cams. My graphic card is not that great so maybe that's why it puts a load on the CPU?!
Glad u can do that & it's working x

Kat, as an idea, could you download Skype onto your phone and be available through that on the skype listings sites? Then if you get an indy show, you close SM and open Skype on your desktop to do the show. Even with the most conservative indy pricing, you could start thinking about upgrading to an i7 after 10-15 shows. (I mean a new processor rather than a whole new computer - I got my i7 processor for like £200.)

I do use an i7, two actually. I usually only work on 3 sites(using the highest broadcasting spec available for each site) using 1 computer(Lenovo k450). When I want or need to work more sites I add on 5 more using my other computer(Alienware Alpha i7). I tried working more sites on the Lenovo but it was killing my cpu % which made everything lag and freeze so I invested in a 2nd computer. My graphic card is pretty good, I wouldn't say its great or top of the line because there are better ones out there but its pretty powerful. At the time(2013) that I got this computer(k450) I made sure to search for computers with the highest specs (basically gaming computers) because I didn't want to deal with any tech issues like I did before and I also wanted it to be able to handle any upgrades that SM decided to do. Although I plan on upgrading again soon I can honestly say that I rarely experience any tech issues with my Lenovo or even my Dell.

I don't use separate cameras though. I tried but failed miserable....too much multiple tasking for my brain...my brain doesn't have the capacity for alla dathttp://i63.tinypic.com/116kj2f.png. I have it setup(via devices) so that I can use 1 camera on 2 computers.

I think it would be a good idea to upgrade, save a little at a time if needed. I know i7's aren't all the same and some of the specs on i5's and i3's can blow i7's out of the water but I always think its best to have the latest tech/specs when it comes to camming especially when it comes to SM. When you have the latest specs you're less likely to have tech issues and you stand a better chance of being able to handle any new updates/upgrades that these sites(specifically SM) may throw at us as oppose to using an i5 or i3.


Glad u can do that & it's working x
Thank you and so am I.

Oh no girl dont do it. If you're getting on a free chat site what they do is watch you from the OUTSIDE. Its fucked up but they will try it.
