Wow, that's a fortune compared to what I used to make.
P.S. I'm having SERIOUS issues with this site. It won't keep me logged in. It keeps logging me out & I can't post or search. Anyone else having this problem :(
yeppers, I had the same issue since yesterday. I clicked the remember me option when I signed in this time and everything seems to be cool for now

I totally get it, sex work has ruined who I am as a person. I used to be an easy going , jovial , happy optimistic positive person who always saw the silver lining even if there was none to see. Even if everyday was harder than the last. I always had a smile on my face even if all I had was $1 . Now after 15 yrs.. I am negative, grumpy, cranky, hopeless, depressed, paranoid.. pessimistic.. bitter, uptight, sad.. etc etc.. I don't see the silver lining I see the reality.
I wonder what wealthy people's reason is.:-\
I live in the wealthiest area of the country, and I've never met so many sour pusses in my life.
Sad, depressed, morosely ungrateful.
Then I see all the Hispanics working outside in 110 degree heat... Singing away, smiling, friendly.

What do you mean by making money?...lol.... a livable wage? hell no!..... let's see the a few weeks ago I was #10 in the top 100 and I made $252 for the week out of that was a $100 bonus for being #10.. so obviously I am doing good compared to others haha
Well that's more than I ever even made in a month. I think I make $50 or something, so good on ya!

Oh WOW, let's pray this works.
Something is seriously wrong with their site b/c I've NEVER had to check that off before.
My website coder first thought it was a cookie coding issue on their end, or they may have changed their SSL (or added it.)
I've been trying to get on for days. <sigh>
Thank you :)

I just want to WORK! Argh!!! I can't stream on streamate right now because I need to update my ID and they won't accept the temporary one the DMV gave me (I had no idea the DMV just switched to giving temporary IDs, now they mail your actual ID within 3-5 business days, I was SO pissed when they told me that). So I've been working on clips and logging into skyprivate but it's crickets (I'm seriously kicking myself in the ass for not building up an indie following before this, SO dumb to rely on one damned site! I know better!!!). ID didn't come in the mail again today. Shark week is due any day, so my ID will probably arrive the same day. I need to make money to bounce back financially from the unexpected costs of moving this past month. It's so frustrating, knowing that I *COULD* be making the money except.... /rant

Sorry to hear, but why do you have to log into Sky Private? You are logged in just by being on Skype, no?

You're right, I just hadn't been logging into skype for a long time, since I got my new laptop so I had to install it all over again. Found out you can't use the Windows 10 Skype App, it must be the desktop version.

Yes, I don't like that desktop app, but I have to use the browser vs of SK now b/c of MS's fucking BS of not letting us IM with guys unless we add them first & since I REFUSE to add FREELOADERS to my SK who will waste my time, I IM them thru the browser.

This is bullshit. I cammed for seven hours straight, held in my pee for so long I was damn near shaking and all for what? I'm lucky if I broke $2,300 after all that shit, dealing with the bbs and the hrus and everyone falling in love as if I'd ever be with one of these losers who can't even treat a lady. I'm about ready to quit this shit and try CB or SM or something because MFC just is not cutting it anymore. I'm about to just stick to my SDs and say fuck this online life. I just hate relying on them because they give me so much I feel I can't escape them so I thought this online shit would be a way out but all it is is a way to waste my time.

Are you srsly complaining about only making $2300 in a day????? WoW..........*smh*
someoldnoob
06-28-2017, 10:01 PM
Yeah $2,300 a day for 7 hours sounds absolutely miserable. Can't wait for the 7 hour silence on SM with >$34.80 to be the saving grace Royal SB needs before quitting the online life. If you have SDs, you're probably better off if $2,300 a day isn't satisfying whatever lifestyle you've allowed yourself to become disillusioned by as being not worth it.
And send the $2,300 per day clients our way. We'll gladly take those hru BBs off your heavy payload.

I HOPE she meant 2300 tokens, but even then, that's still better than I'm making. But she put the $ sign in there, so I don't think so.
someoldnoob
06-28-2017, 10:37 PM
Maybe that was snarkier than intended, but the USD/CAN $ is an oversight I think made less sense given the context of mentioning SDs. Snark aside, if you have SDs who help more than online work, I definitely suggest it may be more worthwhile to make an honest attempt at reconnecting with them, as while it's draining emotional labor, at least you don't have to put with everything else that comes with chatroom harassment.

I was gonna just be quiet and keep it moving when I read that post because I know banking/$$$/goals is relative but I'm sitting here like some of us can't even break $100 for a 8-12 hour shift or $400-$1000 a week these days. I use to make decent money but these days I'm lucky to even break $60-$100 in 6-12 hours. Making $2,300 in a day or even a week would be a dream come true. I'm just wondering(not even being snarky or invasive here) how much is a good day/week if $2,300 is sucky?

06-29-2017, 08:59 AM
She's not a troll. She has an older account but wanted to do a name change and started over with this one. Her post history suggest that she's a high earner. I know complaining about only making $2300 in one day does seem odd to most of us, but what if she only works 2 days a week and expects to make more? Or she's accustomed to making more? Also she's on MFC where it's very possible to pull those numbers in a few short hours if you have adoring fans. Lets see what she has to say IF she even wants to.

Ha, someone complaining about $2300?! Did she mean 2300 yen or pesos? If so, I'd understand. 2300 is chump change in those currencies. Camming 7 hours straight without a bathroom break? That's a good way to burn out fast. You have to pee, eat, and such. When I first started camming I used to cam for 5-6 hours at a time but even then I'd take short bathroom breaks, reapply makeup, and eat or drink water or something. Holding pee for 7 hours sounds like a good way to get a nasty bladder infection. There are no cam custies holding pee for, lol. I still call troll on that one.

I mean, the customers come back, but I had enough today I had to stop because it was gunna be the THIRD FREAKING TIME STREAMATE TELLS ME CONNECTION IS LOST I feel like I'm not skilled enough in computers for this :(
Streamate, you don't think the money I make for us is good enough? :(
'd only understand someone complaining about making 2k a day if their expenses were huge because they got so used to making money that when they go into a dry period (what they consider one), 2k probably barely covers their every day expenses.
and girl... please pee. jesus christ you brought that one onto yourself.

I don't know what it is. I used to be really good at camming, always being happy and flirty and now I can't even smile. I just feel like all these guys are complete losers and assholes and I can't get over myself. It just seems to get worse every day and my earnings are showing it. I feel like all these guys are just morons and they can't even wipe their own ass. And even if that were true why can't I at least be nice? I don't have anyone to vent to, because it is just too negative for people. I don't try to be a negative nancy, but lately that's all i can see. I am on anti-depressants but I don't know if they're helping any more. I just don't feel motivated to make money any more or even try. I want to leave camming but I've invested so much time into it, I'm not sure what else I can do. Sorry for the long post, I just don't really have anywhere else to vent right now :v Thanks

I feel the same way, to a tea.
I dread logging on.
The nastiest freeloaders, and rudest guys come out during the summer months.
If I had started camming in the summer, I would've quit right away.
But I started in December, so all was right with the world because of it.
Next year I'm going to take most of the summer off, and get a part time job.
I'm so glad that I found a sexting gig that I can do to give me a break from camming.

Does this make sense to anyone? I'm freaking out cos I have bills due next week and now I don't wanna log back on until its sorted.

Are you with BoleynModels? If so, the math is correct. $7.99 x 19 = $151.81 and you should get 30% which is $45.54.

This was truly an overall "off" day.... I started at 6 am until 2 pm and I made myself nap. Ridiculous. Also think I have a UTI from the toys I'm using & not boiling them in hot water long enough before using or something....I'm also very susceptible to UTIs... girl that 7 hours? I peed more in jail in 7 hours...c'mon... take a break every 2.5 hours because these dudes are not worth that potential harm, whether or not u have the painkiller hookup lol
EDIT: Worked another 3.5 hours between 2 sites for $6.
Maybe it is this weekend, IDK... I might follow in Bubbly's footsteps and at least take tomorrrow (today?) off... I'll hopefully rest up enough for Sunday morning since that's generally the only day worth being on so early my time...but... really needed this week to be good...and of course, that's when the Sex Work Goddess frowns upon your earnings report...

These contests make me so insecure! Damn. I do everything that you are supposed to do whenever you ask somebody for camming advice, but still after 3 hours of camming I am still rank 490, along with Eastern European studio girls who only type, do 30$ Goldshows and are probably under a contract that doesn't let them ask a decent rate.
Geez, with these contests I wonder like ' am I really supposed to make more then 120$/day on cam?' Like, how, with this traffic?
It just hurts to give this job all the limited energy you have for over a year and still don't have that much to show for it, while models that have been camming for a couple of months score higher!
