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!

So true! I am with ya there hun!

Guys love new girls so they will be busier than the normal girls that cam every day. Till the guys get fed up with them they will return to their beloved favourite girls! Cam has been dire for me as well

I need to vent here so I can get it out and stay on cam: Got a super late start tonight because my landlord was lurking around fucking up my schedule until nearly 9pm. Then I finally log on and am having like the roughest night in a while. Alternating between completely dead & constant in/outs, my room count sucks, my % in paid sucks, and I'm getting super physically/mentally fucking tired of sitting here like an idiot with a fake smile plastered on my face and investing a ton of mental/social energy into these fuckwits who either want free dirty talk or to hook up IRL. If I hadn't taken the majority of the week off already I would be so done with this, it's just not vibing today at all.

I m with ya, what u say. Thankfully I earned okay yesterday, and no one fucks up my shift. Just... I dont want to log in, coz it means in these days that I ll ruin myself , probably. It s so stupid.Yesterday I was here, at morning 4 hours when i made nothing. And late night 6 hours When i did okay. Thankfully to 2 regulars.
All the other guys came just to hurt and poison. Other few pvs,I had to argue there with guys ... I feel like shit. They come in pv: hy get naked. Toys? Fuck no. Wtf? I rather log off and end this shit, than do it, like this. Sorry. And those guys was all ones who had $$ on their acc, able to spend for a normal pv. They just ... enjoy to act rude? What s goin on?
And aint mentioned free chat yet where these assholes complaining and arguing about anything endlessly. Fucking awkward. Theres no way to deal with this. When u see, more and more retard posting ur stolen videos, and shit talking how much they enjoy them... not coz there are so many, just they enjoy to ruin and abuse you however they can. Seriously whatever guest say a word from now on: instant bann /mute same goes for members or whoever who dare to say a word in my fucking free chat. I don t care.

I never do custom videos, NEVER did one in 15 yrs.. to much stress and anxiety. I had a camgirl friend who always did a ton and it would take her all day and they would complain and sometimes have to redo it.. fuck that noise!.. no thanks.. to much control over me.

i couldn't bare it today - 70 people watching on MFC and 1 tip of 9 tokens
got lucky with my main reg tipping my goal but.... if he wasn't there, the night would have been awful.


these days i'm concentrating more on clips because my mental sanity runs so low with live streaming.

I have no idea what's going on but AW is being DREADFUL, and SM equally shit. In AW in particular, shit traffic, full of beggars, and none of the shows lasting longer than 2.5 minutes. Not sure if because people just left, or because it was crashing for them, or what, but it was exhausting and super discouraging. 8 hours and only 40 miserable pounds. Please cam goddess, make it better cause I need the cash before I go on my holiday! =(

Oh gawd, SM was TERRIBLE today. They must have advertised where a ton of E. Indians are b/c I got the typical IL BS - "show me your ass first so I know if I want to take you pvt." or "I'll take you pvt for 4 minutes if you show me XYZ first."

I banned more first timers in my room than I've ever done in the last 3 years I've been camming.

And as for CB, just DEAD. They want to come in & just watch me, NOT spend a dime.

I'm now PMing them if they've come into my room more than 3 times to ask them why they aren't spending money, & that if they are going to sit there, they should at least tip 30+ tokens every 30 minutes.

I'm sick of this BS!!!

AND I know they tip b/c they are purple, but I'm guessing they tip singles or very small amounts across let's say 100 or so girls, so it looks like they are big spenders when they aren't.

We gotta stop doing this. The generalizations here on this board. I'm tired of editing and deleting post where people make these comments as though only certain regions project this sort of behavior. It's not cool and it's offensive. We need to be better than this.

CB has sucked for me this week too. Sooo close to making payout but the past 2 days my room hasn't had any more than 8 users at a time and nobody has spent a single token. Today I'm just feeling blaahhh. I'm getting the same thing, the purples and light blues who come in for 5 minutes but leave after, and the greys who demand to see stuff but have no intention of spending. The users who stayed the longest last time were the greys. Love it when these same greys ask me "So how many tokens until you show us xyz and do this or that...??" Pffft, I'm thinking to myself why do you even care if you're not going to spend zip. Don't ask, get tokens and tip!

Ikr?
I had tons of traffic, but no spenders.
New guys too. Hmmm.
$17 in the first hour, when I usually make $100+ = no bueno.
I logged off, because it just wasn't happening.
So frustrating when camming is shit like that.

Sundays are usually good. There was a lot of traffic but the problem is these guys didn't want to give me one red cent. They were content trying to get to know me and looking for a wife. One asshat asked me to fly over to him so I can fuck him. Said that I should buy a plane ticket. WOW buddy. Not only do I get to fuck you for free but I have the privilege of paying for my ticket too? If I could reach through my screen and strangle this idiot to death I would.

These past two months have been fucking horrible. All of my regulars seem to have died, my CB room is ALWAYS silent and empty and SM is rarely good. I know my horrible sleeping patterns (and subsequent pushing back of my cam schedule) are partially to blame but I'm SO unmotivated to even attempt to bring up my game with this traffic being the way it is, and I can't bring myself to do anything new or create clips etc. I fucking hate this and I HATE that I can't motivate myself to do more. I'm slipping in every way possible with my job and my life and I feel no motivation to do anything to fix it.

finally joined this site after lurking on and off for a few years. so although this is my first post, i've been camming for over 3.5 years now. due to a few changes in my life over the past year, i really feel like i've lost my groove. i got a boyfriend which took some adjusting given the nature of my job, and then i got glandular fever which hit me super hard for a few months. i probably lost thousands in potential earnings during my time off sick, and my other business (i'm an illustrator) was hit super hard too, from my illness (also, to really drive it all home: the workshop i did most of my artwork at went bankrupt!). i moved in with my boyfriend a couple of months back, and have suffered an increase in rent and have struggled to get into a routine with work hours since moving here. i have ADHD and find time management really difficult at the best of times, but it's near impossible when things are so chaotic and unsettled. it's got to the point where my hourly average is barely half of what it used to be, and it's really stressing me out. i'm living in my overdraft and i hate hate hate it.

so with all that in mind, i figured i need to start engaging myself a bit more with this business. i have all but stopped doing any social media for the past year or so, and i know i've gotten into some really bad habits (getting disheartened early on, seeming very bored and negative, etc.)... it's really valuable seeing other people's experiences on here, and it's been really good for me to see that although SM has its problems, girls are still managing to make good money on there if they put in the hours. i don't want to get a regular job, and am determined to turn this around. i really really hope i haven't just lost it forever (has anyone else felt that way before, for a prolonged period of time? how did you turn it around?! tell me your secrets!), because i miss not worrying about money and having freedom :-(

i hope this is the last time i'll be posting in this particular thread for at least a bit, and hope to be contributing to the 'camming rocks' thread kinda soon! on a positive note, this community rules. very encouraging and so helpful. there's so much to learn, and camaraderie is so important in a job which can often feel really isolating! you all rule :-)

but yeah, on a negative note, FUCK tonight. i've made less than $40 in 4 hours. had a bunch of big spending regulars come in but not spend a dime, I HATE THAT. maybe i seem too desperate idk. but fuck man, shit or get off the pot. don't have it in me to humour timewasters tonight!

Nomally I dont visit this thread, but I am glad I did
Nice to meet you Lula!!

You know deep inside you have not lost it forever. You wont and never will lose it forever. You will get stronger and on top of this!

I get it though, even after camming for 5? years doubt and that thought of "is is gonna be like this forever, when it is slower... am I not good enough anymore, maybe I just lost it and it will never come around again, I just lost my camincome for good" is still hitting me too.

I too have been sick and unable to cam for a long period and building up again. Have had sick periods before, long periods and I always came out on top and better than before.

Time to replace negative habbitd with positive ones and the good thing is that you can start at any moment every second of the day. The thing that helps me overcoming fear, resentment and anger are Gratefulness excersises on youtube. Whenever I am in that state of mind I cannot feel negative anymore; helps my mood and of course my income. Yesterday for some reason I skipped it and you now what my income skipped too XD

Worrying and missing money, yep I am in that place too. But whenever I make the consious decision to ignore that worried thought or to dismiss it by thinking other happier thoughts I am doing better, as a person and as a camgirl. I found out a long time ago than whenever I am feeling "needy" money doesnt flow well on cam. Prob bec my hustle shifts, my intension behind my husstle shifts and the guys dont feel like spending anymore. When I turn it around again and can focus on the cliens and their wellbeing and happiness (lose focus of time and money) I always get back in the "camflow" again and $$$ will be there again

PS the blue Zig Ziglar quote is the right one. I picked the other one for looks (I like the background) but they messed up his words snd the quote does not have his intension anymore! So dismiss the last one please, that one is not accurate (and I cannot delete it for some reason)

I haven't made ONE token on CB in 4 days. JFC. :(


Fuck today. It wasn't this bad last year. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Not to bring more negativity, but just so you know, the dollar has dropped by about 4-5 points in the last week or two.

I'm sure that has something to do with it.

I'm actually surprised the minute he was elected it didn't drop.

Hahaha!!! I've noticed that in my room, too. I think that maybe once we start teasing, they leave cause they know we want to do a show - not just sit around and bullshit. Those guys are probably in there just to hang out. We turn on that hustle mode and they leave.

When I do muster up the courage to log, I don't make anything in the first hour and I just give up. I'm trying to change my mindset but it's sooo difficult. I really need a good night to gain some confidence back.

Hahaha!!! I've noticed that in my room, too. I think that maybe once we start teasing, they leave cause they know we want to do a show - not just sit around and bullshit. Those guys are probably in there just to hang out. We turn on that hustle mode and they leave.


Haha that must be it ! It applys for the guys that leave the moment you say hi to them (evan tough they watched you in awhile LOL). It's like they were spying on you and you discovered them haha !

Yeah I'm so burnt out on cam lately. I started last summer but for me personally it was nowhere near this level of fucking shitty. I'm having more and more bad days holy shit. And weekends ain't shit anymore for me. And "good days" now are way way less money than they used to be.

I Just had MY worst day on cam this week too, and its so funny and disheartening to me because it had JUST started to pick back up on SM (which ive worked primarily for years), I took a long bit off and when I came back it looked like it had turned to shit, it was even MORE heartbreaking when I found out it was everyone, and not just my shitty internet. I always did VERY well on SM. When it picked up a bit I had hope again, That maybe we wher now in the upswing, but now its worse then it was before for me. I actually TRIED this week. Set on allot longer and made even less. It makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE for me to FORCE myself to log back on the next day. Like a invisible force is holding me back from it.

Camming sucks because my new bedroom is too hot to cam from during the day. It's like 85 degrees, I was sweating balls. I managed to stay on MFC long enough to make $30, but had to call it quits.

Every single motherfucker tonight tells me they are broke...Well...thanks for letting me know that broke ass people watch me not wanting to give me anything anyways?! It's not really helpful at all. Ugh. Just leave my room or don't go on cam sites at all if you are broke all the time!!
