I usually try to stay out of this thread so I can stay positive, but it makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one having a bad time haha I did so well my first month, but this week I'm barely making it! DXLive is my main site and I can usually do really well there, but this week has been pretty pathetic! I'm struggling to even break $100! The last two weeks have been really bad!

Streamate is a waste for me as usual. I always do really badly on Streamate, but somehow I've been in the top row on the Ebony category?????
Hopefully, it'll get better when my boyfriend and I move and I can have my own camming room so I can switch to working SM at night and DXLive in the day (when it's nighttime in Japan).

But, I'm logging off early today cause I'm super discouraged and I'm worried it'll show ;3;

I've mentally checked out and could really use some support today. I don't know why I'm letting it get to me like this, but it's THURSDAY...I thought by today things would have picked up a bit! I haven't even made HALF of my goal for the week and it's Thursday!! Ugh...I'm gonna go cry now.

Camming doesn't suck for me right now but holy hell the freeloaders are insane! Never in my 9 years of camming have I ever seen this many freeloaders in my room at one time. Wonder why the sudden influx now??

04-19-2013, 02:24 PM
Most of the advertisement is coming from tube sites. They hit the link because they get to see live girls but we forget sometimes that they are only there to jerk off as they are on free tube sites anyway.

Yep! I've been camming on SM for 3 years and today was unreal. Guys in and out for the whole first hour and not one of them spoke to me. I was kicking and banning like crazy.

Just watched one of my regulars (who has never given me more than a couple 100tks) drop 3000tks on another girl. And no i'm not hatin on her at all, i actually really like her, its just more like a FML moment for me, lol

It's the same across the board right now on SM. I pop into the rooms of girls trying to run gold shows, and no one is biting. 30, 40, 50 guys per room, and no one biting for shows. It's worrisome, especially this week, when I gotta make 250+ a night.

Ouch. :( I didn't see anything like that today (and glad for it), but I have had my regulars hopping out of my chat a *lot* more than usual. Are they bored of me, or what? I've managed to (barely) meet my goals over the past few days, but it's been all over the place - haven't gotten a private in two days; if it weren't for groups today, I'd have made chicken scratch.

04-21-2013, 09:19 PM
Sheesh. So it's not just me...
Regulars popping in and out- guys with 4's next to their names staying only a few seconds. Not even long enough to say "hi". :(
I feel like I'm doing something wrong... :((
It was a struggle to make $50 today- and I only hit that cuz I got a guy to do a block shower show with me. :(
WHAT is going on???

So...no one is saying it...but today camming SUCKS!! I'm in a horrible mood now. It's been slooooow and I've had this barrage of freeloaders and jerks today. I'm just glad yesterday was good for me and I got a head start on the week, because I barely made $10 an hour today.

Camming sucks right because I;ve realized the past week I've let guys take advantage of me. I knew about the 30 sec rule but vaguely remembered it tonight. I am so pissed. A guy literally popped in and out for 20 minutes and the whole time my gut is telling me something is up and its not just his "connection" as he claimed. i came back to the forums and for sure I had been playing cutsey little sub for 20 fucking mins and didn't get squat for it. Also I'm tired of guys just asking me to stand up turn around and then they log off. I'm getting solidly tired of the bullshit and I know its only MY fault for letting them fuck me over. I've been on for 4 hours tonight and made 3.49. I'm also having a disdain for the guys who just sit and want to talk, with whom, I didn't mind before. Just before I logged off there was a guy who for 10 mins was just talking to me, at the point of eye rolling i told him "look i dont mean to be pushy but do you want a show, if not im logging off". These past few days have definitely given me some hardening. I'll learn from it. Want to me turn and stand, PAY FOR IT! >< I'm over these assholes.

Don't be so hard on yourself, pussycat. It isn't your fault that you thought that you'd be paid fairly for fair work. I made the same mistake when I first started as a camgirl myself.

Dealing with the jerks every day in our job is hard enough. Be gentle with yourself. It is all a learning process and it isn't easy.

Ugh, I've been on for almost four hours and nothing.

Nothing but whiners and freeloaders. By hour one I had zero patience for any of them and just logged off to sign on MFC.

Then I get on MFC and it's not working.

I just got on Chaturbate so I tried that out for a few minutes but was like, "Meh" I wasn't feeling it this afternoon.

I tried Streamate again and the same useless dudes.

Changed my outfit, tried to different camera angles, changed my hair, but STILL nothing! I shouldn't have taken a break yesterday, now I'm really paying for it. I figured I could just come back later, make a sandwich, run some errands, but it just pisses me off. I know they WANT to see me naked, they sure were begging hard enough, but none of them would PAY.

Ugh, this week has been terrible and it's only TUESDAY!

Bad bad bad - I just had a bit of a breakdown on Streamate tonight. I didnt let the guys see me , but I was crying. Yesterday and today I have done so many re-starts of a gold show and not reached gold ( or even close ) , that I felt so unwanted and invisible.
First time I have cried over this sh*t and hopefully the last time!!! :(

Fu.Kin'.A!
Been sitting on here for six hours and only made $55. I knew it would be bad after a 10 day break but COME ON NOW. But, I'll try to think positive; it's more than a made last night (sad, I know) and at least it's more that minimum wage. It's going to be a loooooong night but I am NOT giving up until I reach my goal. Come on, big spenders!

ETA hours later: MGF totally just saved my ass tonight. Naked still hates me but thank goodness I've officially surpassed my goal for the night. I kind of want to keep going even though it's 4am and I am exhausted, just because I anticipate naked will be crap again tomorrow. Am I the only one who gets motivated to work the more they make and paralyzed with dread and the overwhelming desire to quit when it's slow?

I'm also really sorry to hear that, but good on you for recognizing when something is not working and taking positive steps in the right direction. You don't have to give up camming if you get a traditional job, things may just pick up after a while but think about how good it will be when you've got a steady income you can rely on every week AND be able to supplement with camming when you want to. I bet it will turn out awesome for you :)

@bbj and CR-Thank you for the support. I think it's a combination of business being slow and me simply not enjoying camming anymore. It's to the point where I dread logging on, but I have to in order to make $. When I do find another job, I'll be quitting for good, but I do think the girls who don't "need" money (have traditional job) generally do better on cam because they're not dependent on the un-promised income camming offers.

I can say that I'm proud of myself because I wanted to prove to myself that I could make a living working from home, and I did so for 1.5 years. I just think that it's time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life. It doesn't end at retail though, seeing as I'm going to school for culinary arts, so I'll be fine. (And I'm still young, 24)

My hat goes off to the girls who will still be camming at 80 in their wheelchairs :)
