I am wondering if any month is every going to be good.. I haven't had a good month all year. .. partly my fault with house, kids and myself.. but I never logged all day and not made a livable wage on most days.. something is seriously fishy.



Really glad I didn't start on MFC this month..been watching some of the other models closely and some of the top models have been logging off early or looking really frustrated. I just can't wait until this crappy month is over to be honest - roll on November!!

man... i swear to God tomorrow better be better or I'm going to be in some trouble.
It's been like this for weeks and there HAS to be a reason! I'm looking in other rooms and it's the same bullshit! Low guest count, gold shows that don't make jack shit, dudes being even douchier than usual. WHAT THE FUCK IS UP
I'm at 26 hours for the week and have made $274!

I haven't had a good solid camming month since February. I was stressed out about moving and I was still able to make $1000 a week, easily. I have lowered my weekly goal by over half and I'm still not making it. Guys are being cheaper, my regulars are being shady as fuck and my depression is at an all time high. Fuck camming!

next year is going to be my last year of camming full time. camming just isn't fun anymore, still lucrative though if you put in the long hours but fuck it!

That thing worked for me... last summer. Not really anymore, somehow. My shift yesterday was: 8hours. first 4 I spent in pvt (2x old regular). The rest, 4 hours, in free. Zero show (no regulars and the "new guys" just dont want to pay).
So Idk, if it would be "better" if I stay on for 2 more hours. or 4 more. I dont think so... but even if that would work, I just can't handle. After sitting 4 hours in free.... better if no one talk to me anymore. I reached my "old-okay" goal, and Logged off after 8 hours pissed and depressed as fuck.

Plus, 8 hour before was like... I started at 12.00 finished around 8pm. I had some free time to do anything with myself. Same 8 hour now: I start it at 6 am, and maybe at midnight I finish. Just u know... one dead hour, ok take a break. One dead hour again another break. So basically I just sit around in my room all day long, speculating if i can make any money around xy time. Like this , it s impossible to take my mind off. And usually it s just disappointing. So , these "long hours" for me aint work anymore as I figured. In 2, 4 or even in 8 hours now, it can totally happen, that there ll be no traffic in my room, no people at all, or just freeloaders, and It wont pick up, no matter what. I dont know what works.

I've only been on cam for 30 minutes and I already feel like my soul is slowly being pulled from my body. It's so slow and dudes just sit there. When they do talk its like chit chat or they say they are killing time or 'just browsing'. Like WTF is up with all these guys who want to just chat? This isn't an early 90's AOL Chatroom... it's a fucking pornsite!
Then you have the super intelligent ones who come in and just say 'BOOBS'... LIKE WTF?!?

This loser sit in my room for 3 hours, said nothing , never paid a cent. There it goes.

passionate21: why were you mean to me ?
A***: someone here is mean, if u afford a pvt, and the model dont do what u ask
A***: yet u have no right to complain, or atc like a gay don huan
A***: u are so delusional it hurts to see. but lately the site is full with fucked up broke losers like u.
guest13: Just ignore them sweet heart
guest13: It's because they can't get women in real life

I ignore them, but the problem is: there is no one who is not completely retarded, and can pay, in these days.

anyway for today:
8-9:no trafik.
9-10: 2 short shitty pv, only coz I argued like a madman.
10-11: no trafik. --> I fucking cant wait to keep on and try happily.

But what s good afterall. I figured that I can deal with dead hours, low income, shitty pvs... anything. But these gay boys who drool around forever, these clingy disgusting people... I dont wanna see this, and I dont wanna be a part of this. So right now I put a skirt on my monitor I don see who is in, who not, Not even if someone say anything. I complete 6 hours at least like this, ll see what happens.

I'm doing an experiment in November. 500 minutes per day on SM and supplementing with NF. I'm staying on until I get my minutes regardless of how busy or slow it is. Going to see how I end up at the end of the month.

I'm done! I can't believe it but I have made -$10 today! My Niteflirt ads are being clicked to death. MFC is a ghost town. My regs are nonexistent assholes! And every guy I have talked too on peeks and skype have been cheap time wasters! Once I pay my rent, I will have $100 to my name, with $300 in bills to pay this week. Plus my husbands bday is on Friday and I don't have any money to treat him to dinner. I wish I wasn't pregnant. I want to go back to dancing sooooo bad right now, but I'm showing and the only clubs around allow indoor smoking. My goal is only $500 a week. Why is it so freaking difficult to make any damn money!?!?

Guy who messaged me ALL weekend on Twitter after I sent him the custom that he paid for. "Did you like doing that, babe?"
I ignored the message. He asks me again. I respond, "I don't DM on Twitter." I said, "If you want to chat, you can come into my cam room." He says he will come in today to order another custom. I message him this afternoon and tell him that I'm leaving at such and such time. He says, "Oh, I'm watching football. I won't make it."

You loser! You wrote me ALL weekend when you wanted something.

So, he comes into my room, goes ON and ON and ON for about 30 min about what he wants in his next custom. I then say, "Ok. You can go ahead and tip."

His response????

"Oh, I just came back from holiday. I'm broke."

I swear to fucking Christ, if I were able to reach through the screen and slap the fucking shit out of someone, I would have!

SM is an absolute joke for me. Even my backup site is not doing well. I've been on for about 5 hours. I have nothing else to do and I put the time into doing my makeup so I may as well just keep trying to collect all I can from my subs. Thank goodness I can play mobile games passively so it looks like I'm paying attention to the dead room.

I am fuming right now... I work on Chaturbate and I recently moved to Europe so I need to wake up at 4 am to cam at prime time. Now, I don't know about you but in my case camming there is really slow the first hour or two and then as you climb to the first couple of rows it picks up a lot of steam. So whenever I log in I know that the first hour or so will be dead but then I will make up for it on the 3rd and 4th hour of my camming session.

Well today.. I woke up at 4 am, got dolled up, showed up and as usual the first hour was Ghost Town Central but then it started to pick up steam. I was getting viewers and tips and then CHATURBATE CRASHED FOR 20 MINUTES. I was so mad. Two hours of my time down the drain, and I had to start all over again because when the website was back online I had 80 people left. So I armed myself with patience and kept at it.. only there was so much lag it was barely watchable. And half an hour later, once Chaturbate got it's shit together and the video was smooth, I see I keep losing viewers and turns out I WAS LISTED AS OFFLINE.

I feel like Chaturbate owes me 20k tokens for this shit. Three hours of my time for 700 tokens and a headache. I wanna kill someone.

I'm kinda pre bummed out that if I wanted to split cam it'd probably wreck my computer :O I have one of the newer MacBooks and I can't upgrade the RAM cause its soldered, and I'm scared I'm gonna have bad playback(?) to customers if I try to work Camsoda and CB or AW together. And I don't have just go out and get a cheap PC money rn lol. Should I get a cheap old one at a pawn shop or get a older PC laptop from an online relator? Also I live on my college campus and did an internet speed test and it said the connection was very fast so that could be a upside to things. :P

If you get one from a pawn shop you may not know the specs. To splitcam you need an i5 or i7 (preferably an i7) with 4 cores. Unless you google the model number while you are in the pawn shop or unless they know about the specs you won't know if the computer you buy can handle splitting. I would just buy an other models computer that's an i7 with 4 core online.....there are many available that are affordable especially if you get it used.

Before you go the pawn shop route, take a look at renting a pc. Not a mac but a pc. I think around $50 and under should get you started. Make sure you have access to high speed internet at the same time, then get to work. Its not an ideal situation but if you're trying to get started it definitely works. If you do use a pawn shop talk them into giving you a 24-48 hour return policy. If they agree then make them put it into writing on the receipt. If they dont walk away. Ive done this before. You do what you gotta do.

Sounds like you're on wifi? If the network admin is on their job they can see how much bandwidth you use. Constant streaming takes up a lot of bandwidth.

Most of the "old" top models gone, or rarely visit the site. Myself, I have patience. I like this job (well the good parts) but seriously I start to freak out. I wondering now day after day, If i just quit, and use my savings till I find another job, or something I like. This is ... this camming thing right now, and long time ago, just fucking madness. Never been so stressful never sucked so much.
