View Full Version : The General Purpose "Camming Sucks Right Now" Thread
wtf is up with WED morning? The last 2 I have just been getting -0- for the first hour or so. It's not like there's a ton of gs on or ladies doing stuff in free. Just fucking dead.

Ugh, really? Today also?
Last night was like that. Made $10 in an hour and a half.
I thought it was because it was rent day for most.
Maybe. It's bad when rent week is messing up the week before the 1st and the week after the first. That doesn't leave a lot left to make $$$. I'm of the opinion that guys LOVE porn. I can't for the life of me figure out why we're having a hard time making at least minimum $20 hr. ( so 15 after taxes or so). Kills me. I just want to get ahead one day. Not every time I get to something it's a day late and a dollar short. I missed the haydays of stripping by a decade and it seems I missed the hayday of camming too. whah.

I really think it's those stupid fucking token sites!.. and then guys go on SM and I hear them and see them asking for things like it's a fucking token site.. yesterday I worked over 7 hours.. overall it was a damn good day for me .. and on Chaturbate what did I make? 50 cents!.. and they saw plenty of tit flashes and booty shakin yesterday courtesy of my other cam sites.. the day before? I made NOTHING

I've been advertising Phrendly on Craigslist, and LOL... some guys' responses at being sent there are pretty hilarious. I had one guy tell me he was going to report my spamming to my ISP. Good luck, dumbass, I'm not in the US and I doubt my ISP speaks English.
I also told him he was pretty high and mighty for a dude trying to jerk off for free on Craigslist.
Not my finest moment, lol

I'm blaming last night's slowness on football.
Even though it wasn't a major game, it's still the first game of the season.
Even the guy I just started seeing blew me off to watch it.
Fuckity fuck football!:finger:

This week has sucked so badly for me. Monday was the fucking bomb, all my regs/whales came and blew their wad on me and ever since then I've had a shit week. All I'm getting is minute man shows and besides that NO ONE wants to play....I dunno what is happening, but it sucks. I'm just glad I somehow made my weekly goal. I wanted and was hoping to go way beyond that so I could catch up with bills and tax savings, but fuck.....

One of my regulars on Phrendly, who chats with me all day every day, is finally taking a turn. I think he sensed that I wasn't in a chatty mood yesterday, and he's having a meltdown...
But at the same time, I'm profiting from every text in his long drawn-out venting session, so........

every day is so fucking slow for me, and sucks since the new period started - 4 day ago.
plus broke losers come to my room just to tell me" with that attitude u wont earn a cent here" - well not that i want cheap assholes shitty pvt anyway.
This summer furcking sucks. even more than last one.
Trying to get 50 more bucks today and I think it's just pointless.Traffic is trickling in. Page one great spot and DEAD AF. So glad I didn't quit my other source of imcome and try to do this fulltime like I was thinking last year when the summer was GREAT for me. It's sucked ever since!!!!!

I'm finding that almost all of my Custies who left SM are migrating to Skype/talk & text platforms. Can't really blame them either. I mean, I'm on cam with 0 traffic and ins and outs while texting and making money across various talk/text platforms so maybe consider that too if you're not already. I'm sure your a phenomenal cam girl :)

Same. I haven't had messages from sext panther in about a month. I took myself off chatfunn (since there's no guarantee I will even get paid) and chat star (since there was 0 traffic), and I don't use ttm, since the payout percentage is sooooo slow.
Made $40 on cam today. I can't even break $100 anymore, wtf!?!?

I can't even explain, how pissed I am right now. Summer has been so annoyingly slow for me, except the first half of June and I feel very unmotivated. I just returned from week long vacation, came online yesterday and today on MFC and CB and it has been terrible because I didn't earn a single cent and no one even wanted to talk to me. I spent so much time cleaning up and making my camspace look pretty, creating a game for them but it's just nothing. Not even "hi". They just come and leave or stay in my room for hours without saying a word. It's so creepy, I'm feeling nervous and sad. I don't know, if I can handle this anymore. I love the job but I feel like I just suck at it. :( It's been 8 months but I'm still struggling a lot and even though I try to be original, friendly, talkative - I don't succeed like I want to. :( How do I know it's worth to continue? I'm so sad, I need a hug and some motivation. :(

I'm new too, and just wanted to say I feel your pain! Sending virtual hugs your way. Summer is so slow, and that makes it even harder being a new cam girl. I've been focusing more on my Twitter & Snapchat because I am so overwhelmed with my vanilla job I have very little time to even cam at the moment. I'm going to start making videos & selling content, to take the pressure off of camming. Hang in there, it gets better I promise! Just have faith in the process. If your not already, maybe consider filming & selling videos.

I wouldn't go straight to blaming yourself girlie. Many ladies are doing well but if you read around Camming Connection and peak in camrooms you will see that not everyone is doing well. For me and a few others there was a shift in camming around Nov/Dec which caused traffic and earnings to slow down for a few which is around the time when you started and now we are in summer time slowness. Some new ladies are probably doing great but to be honest imo I feel you kind of started at a shitty time. However in the same breathe I don't think there is a wrong time to start camming nor is it ever too late to start camming. So I wouldn't give up just yet. Try different camsites (token sites are the hardest to crack especially as a newbie) and also try text sites, phone sex and making clips.
Imo its alot harder now to make money with camming then it was 1-6 years ago. Now a days you have to do alot more than cam on 1 or 2 big box camsites to make money or at least a decent amount. Imo these days you have to be the jack of all trades i.e camming on big box sites, indie camming, promoting/marketing yourself, selling videos (on Clips4sale, Iwantclips, Manyvids, Niteflirt, etc), texting and phone sex.

This pretty much sums up my last two or possibly three days on cam I've lost count. I'm about ready to take the whole of the rest of the summer off right now.
I started by turning off that annoying in/out noise on SM because I was sick of it going off every few seconds just for them to leave, now I cover the user list with Skype as well. Why not? They don't speak anyway, who gives a fuck how many guys are in my room lol.
This may be my third day in a row of actually nodding off in free chat...

I think a lot of the slow down has to do with it being the Summer time partially, because after so many years I've learned to make adjustments for this time of year. I've never had a bomb ass Summer in Camland. The other thing that I believe is having a major impact on traffic right now is the latest edition in reality tv.. Politics & 24Hour Media Coverage. There's so much going on and even if you don't follow politics what you do follow is impacted by POLITICS. It's everywhere and influences spending. I've had a record breaking number of regulars showing up looking for hookups. I mean men who've never wanted a discount are now asking for them. Some have even tried to get skype shows on credit. :hyper: I've started offering packaged deals to get large amounts of money up front and then giving discounts that way. But then I convince them to add on a custom video or bundle of some sort, so my base price is exceeded.

Camming sucks because I just had a call today from a Miss contest which I can't attend anymore - I sent them an e-mail two years ago before I was a cam girl and now I can't attend it anymore since I have way too many records online and this contest is known in the entire country and is not allowing sex workers to participate or they find it out. So sad would've been an oppurtinity for me to have a different job for once. Really depressing despite all the money I make!

I look totally sexy, and being cheerful self like always and all I get is either no traffic or a bunch of cheap losers. I was on for several hours and only made $73....ugh, feel like a failure right now.
