That's why I worked 6 hours straight through... I did 10-4 pm EST.. even that was waking up to late.. but there is NOTHING going on , on sunday nites that I have worked.
I need to stop trying to work Sunday nights. They seem to be always dead for me and I forget sometimes how bad it can be. I guess everyone is focusing on the work week starting.

An idiot tips me 1 token, then disappears after 4 seconds after my Ohmibod reacted. How the heck should I have reacted? Screaming and crying and thanking the lord for only 1 goddamn token?! Only greedy asshole tonight eww!! A regular of mine didn't show up as he promised me a private show tonight!!!!! Ugh I have made barely 20 dollars tonight so I was counting on him!!
Summary of tonight: You can't spell 'disappointment' without 'men'. The longer I'm in that industry, the more my desire in me grows to get married to myself (in USA you can legally marry yourself for like 600 dollars LOL, if I would live there I would have done it long ago). I can't say it enough times: I HATE men -_-

That's why I have these fucking pieces of shit prepay when they try and pull "I don't have time now I will at ___ if you are online". I never lose sleep or fuck up my commitments or routine for these losers unless it is prepaid.

Ugh have to rant. I know I've been doing a lot of this, but sometimes it's not even the customers that are the issue- sometimes it's the people at home. Really wished the bf would stop bitching about stupid shit and insulting me RIGHT BEFORE I go on cam. Gets me in a bad mood and it ends up affecting my finances and goals, no matter how hard I try to shake it off. I was so close to reaching my $1000 goal tonight. So. Close.

So stressed and depressed.. this is the longest drought I have ever had on cam.. I have to borrow 2 grand from myself to pay off the bills this month AGAIN!.. My savings account is dwindling every month by almost 2k or less.. OMFG.. I don't know what to do.. I need to hurry up and start my real estate investing before I am out of money altogether.. there is nothing I can do to cut expenses.. I am supporting 3 people. My mortgage is $700 a month.. very small amount to pay for housing...LOL.. and I can't get rid of my leased car til next March.. these people are like the Drain the Swamp crew.
Ok so now I just got a 1 star rating for saying NO I don't do hate sex but i'll play with you .. ON SM.. I just screamed my fucking head off!.. it's so fucking slow and stressful and now I am crying my eyes out.. I am so fucking mentally and physically exhausted from this NO MONEY bullshit for weeks and months...
Yes I emailed customer service to have it removed.. if they don't I will contact Liz.

Cant handle this shit anymore, and can t wait till I get rid of it.
Only the sick ones seems like to pay, anyway, every jerk, get everything for free on chaturbate and similar sites, and coming to jasmin doing nothing but acting like assholes. This shit make no sense anymore for me.

Your post should be written in big bold letters for newbies to read because this is what it can turn into. Without being your fault, as a model. They need to know this job can really suck.

Only one thing sucks in this job. And its, there are too many retarded and/or mentally sick people who are allowed to speak, to sign up and stay members on the site without ever spending a cent. Sorry for saying it out loud, I know it aint sounds pretty, but sadly this is how it is. It s ridiculous.

Nope... just no.
$40 in four hours. $31 came from a custom video tip. Can't get a gold show or even a private to save my life. Feeling like everyday I ban more people than the day before. Lots of sickos and weirdos on SM these days. Lots of incest role play and guys wanting burping/farting/etc. one guy today wanted "dirty messy anal"... I can't even right now.

The fucking age play makes me want to throat-punch a fucker.
I was hit up by someone on Skype. I had already been in a show already. He was asking if I do roleplay. I answered with a quick, "yes" but wanted to type, "except for age play", but couldn't because I was in a show.
The guy then wrote a huge paragraph on what he wanted in terms of age play. All I saw was "extreme", "age play" and "torture".
I then saw the messages start being removed. I'm guessing that because I didn't respond within 10 minutes, he got nervous. He also removed me from his contacts.
Why the fuck do they ask for this sick fucking shit if they know that it's illegal - get nervous and remove messages????? He's lucky that I didn't see that paragraph that he wrote or I would have tore him a new one.

Oh lady - I get it. There are days when I feel this way, too. But then there are days when the sweetest of sweet guys come through and make us remember that this job CAN rock.
I went on a couple of interviews for a part-time job. I need a distraction and an excuse to get out of the house more. Maybe that can help you, too?

Two summers ago I got a job in a sandwhich shop making $9 an hour 25 hours a week. And let me tell you what I was so happy. AND I got free soup and sandwiches everyday. The rest of the week I did phone sex and skype shows. Just being around people got my mood up and the routine helped me manage my time a lot better.

I either really hate this job or really love it no in between and yes this is directly tied to the level of bs I take and my money.
Some of this is so my fault. I did not have to take a whole 7 days off straight, but it isn't every month I get vacation paid for by someone else. Almost regretting it now as I am not even at my monthly minimum goal yet. I'm only $600 gross away from it, but I am just used to being at or past my goal at about this time of the month so it is so stressing me out.

One more hour of this boring ass crap.. I decided these days I do not want to split my shifts.. I have been getting up early .. so I can just work straight through 6 hours with bathroom breaks.. sitting in silence and minimal interaction seems to be working for me today.

I would love to try nights, but I have to be up during the day. I'm so afraid that would happen to me too. BUT. Try another one. Some days are better for me than others so nights must be the same. Plus check out what sports are on and what times. Sports kills it for us. Dudes are so lame they'd rather watch sports than pussy.

4 hours =30$. Not sure what's going on. When I first logged on, it took 5 minutes for the first person to come in to free ( i'm on page 1) then I'd get a few coming in then they'd all leave at the same time and a few minutes would go by before anyone new came around.
I wish I knew what was going on.

4 hours $0 - always middle page 1.
I really don't get it. I don't get how Streamate thinks the site is doing ok and the models are happy. I only saw ONE guy come into the room today who had done a show in the past. All the other guys were new or had never spent money with me.
On top of it all, I had TWO guys come in today who said they got to my page via an advertisement that said I was local to them and wanted to hook up. They were both in Atlanta, GA... I definitely am not! How does SM think advertising on FREE porn sites is going to generate revenue. These are NOT the kind of quality customers that need to be coming to the site.
I just feel REALLY BAD for the girls who can full time as their only source of income. This has got to be horrible!

A friend of mine once sent a screenshot to me that he took on a porn tube site. It had a tab that said "hook up" and when he clicked on it, there was my SM profile pic, along with other ladies from there. Under each woman, it said "meet" and then had the performer name. No wonder so many guys come to our rooms and start asking to hook up or to show something for free. We're promoted to look like we do.

Exactly!
It's all just such bullshit.
SM has been slowly turning to shit in the 7 years I've been on! I used to average $60+ per hour but out of this entire YEAR I've only had TWO HOURS where I made $30+. Yes, I went and looked at my logs for the year. I currently average less than $14/hr. AND I HAVE GREAT PLACEMENT!!! Wtf?!?!
I upgraded my webcam, internet, toys, computer... EVERYTHING when it started getting slower last year! Nothing helps!
It doesn't matter how much teasing I do, or how cheap a gold show is... no one does a fucking thing!!!
Unfortunately, is not the kind of person who could do Chaturbate or MFC and have hundreds of guys jerk it for free while one guy tips. I just hate freeloaders too fucking much!
I hope everyone who's only egg is Streamate starts making back-up plans or new eggs. The end is near...

It seems like it used to be you could put x amount of hours in and get pretty close to y amount of $ every time. Then SM seems to have changed up their formula and now I NEVER know when I'm just wasting my time. I rely on it for a good chunk of my $ and I've been thinking of what else I could do that would work around my other job. But as long as I can pull in a certain amount a week I'm not leaving the house to go deal with fuckholes in real life for minimum wage and then they want to give you a morning, noon and night schedule and oh, you should want to do overtime too anytime we call because someone else couldn't make it in b/c we pay you so little. AND we'll give you as many hours as we can without actually giving you full time benefits. Yeah. Fuck all that noise. ___ I'd rather be SM's bitch.

Yes!!! Sometimes when I have horrible days or arduous weeks on cam I wanna get a job again then I remember my last job. 12 hr rotating shifts mandatory/forced overtime unless of course u "volunteer" enough on certain days LOL Granted it was a decent job paywise and benefitswise but there was a fuckton of BS I had to deal with, there's a reason they have extremely high turnover WHILE paying well and having decent benefits :) But yes most jobs pay fuckshit wages give u fuckshit hours and fuckshit benefits. And yeah I don't wanna deal with fuckbois in real life either.

I hope everyone who's only egg is Streamate starts making back-up plans or new eggs. The end is near...
Sam mentioned how important extra eggs are over a year ago to me. And boy was she right. I'm naturally hard headed and have to "learn on my own" but that's the ONE thing I'm glad I did. It is SO important that we have multiple eggs in our basket. Sometimes we wait until the last minute to chuck those eggs in our baskets. Tons of theories floating around in regards to what may or may not be happening- which in all fairness is what happens when there's 0 communication. I will tell y'all this, not everyone is vocal about how bad it is right now on SM, some keep it to themselves - while others talk openly about it. If most of the top cam girls can't even get $10 of their $200 goal in their gold show most days I mean something is terribly wrong. I can't tell you how many times I've peeped other top girls sitting, looking bored... so it's just not us row 10 and below models going through it. For me- it was my pride that prevented me from adding more eggs to my basket (for the first 2 years)- you can only hang in for so long, claw your way so long, before you can't hang no more. When I detached myself from ego and pride is when I realized that it's OK to branch out, it's OK to add more/extra under your belt. When I started camming in 2013 all I knew was SM, as far as I was concerned SM was the best there was, the top dog, the big kahuna... unfortunately times change and the big kahuna mothership doesn't remain the big kahuna. Change is scary. But so is being ass out when shit hits the fan. There's days I sit on cam with no traffic , no shows, no nada YET while I'm sitting there I'm making my goal back to back on talk/text platforms. Yesterday for example in the 1.5 hours I streamed I could count on 1 hand how many guys came into my room- but while I sat there I did a TON of research on my next possible venture, received tributes , texted a regular generous gent on a platform. Bottom line is, in my opinion, I don't think things will get better - I feel this is "the way it is" and we can either adjust and make it work By switching our priorities and eggs around or we can just abandon the ship - be sure to have your cam income replaced though ladies whatever you do! Also I got tired of the 50+ game players per day requesting Skype shows - so I shut down my list and made it private. I only Skype with my OnlyFans members now and I tell you, it's eliminated at LEAST 99.9% of the game players. And I'm sure I'm losing out potential awesome spenders but I'm willing to lose a bit if that means I can keep more personal time for myself each day. Sorry for my extra long novel, but in closing - we got this ladies! Keep pushing, keep fighting and NO you're not alone during this hellish time. Someone going through the same exact thing is reading this forum right now (from the outside) and is realizing that they're not alone!

Honestly,I've noticed anytime there's a major event going on nationwide it's slow on traffic. Through the whole game I probably made $15 as soon as it ended I had 4 back to back shows before I logged off I even had conversations with 2 of the guys who said they were watching the cavs & celtics. When the debate was going on my traffic was dead... I'm normally staying pretty steady with traffic to be honest unless there's events going on. Except on Tuesday I stay slower.. I just assume it's the national day everything is discounted like sushi, wings, bowling, & the movies people rather go out. Just my opinion tho
