This.
Getting the men to flock has yet to be one of my problems but they stay in my room for the fuck of it. Like they actually enjoy a cock tease with half-interesting conversation. I’m not laying here half-naked to just.... TALK. Gtfoh
When they just sit forever I like to taunt them, I look at their screen names and give them hilarious nicknames out loud. Then I classify them as admirer, potential stalker etc. They typically find it amusing and interact or they leave.

Curse his ass. Put a note to block him in the future. Apply lipstick and keep on with my day.

Did you change while in exclusive or in free chat? There is only one person I change for in free chat and he is one of my best customers and I know he's taking me for at least a 30 minute show. Otherwise, I will get the outfit they want and show it to them, but if they want me to actually put it on, that's going to happen in exclusive.

I would never change into an outfit unless I was taken to pvt to get the outfit to change into and changed there or tipped in free chat to get the outfit and then tipped again to change into it before pvt. Don't do nothing for free

White men love to say that I look like Serena Williams. Umm, no I fucking don't! They just love to pick a random black woman to compare me to, like it's a damn compliment. You want to compliment me? Spend money.

I would spend my entire day just changing outfits and running around getting stuff if I didn't insist on only doing this in a paid show or if they tip me first. I have a selection of things at hand so I can easily show them. They love making us get up and see us move, and getting us to do something with no intention of paying.

Hi ladies!
Tonight, I threaten them I told them I was going to leave, and boom a few shows. <Might try that too :) Remember, you can always demand it, in your own way.
I've worked on streamate for 10 yrs, looked over the last few Augusts, it picks up around the 20th> week.

Just wondering. Would $5000 be enough to take some time off next summer?
Because if it is, go check out my savings chart that I just bumped.
I doubled down, using 2 charts.
I'm on week 3.
I'm not going to be participating in this thread next summer, because I'll be off actually enjoying it for once.:)

Serena isn’t ugly but I would take that as such a huge insult lol. Last I checked I wasn’t going for chiseled, hench, and barrel-chested. But, on topic, they either compare you to the 2-1/2 black female celebrities that they know or use food adjectives.

It's been 1 hour and I still am at 0 tokens stuck with a talkative salty daddy regular who refuses to add any more tokens to his account cuz it's simply "annoying" to do. Fuck this evening and especially FUCK summer!! I always had at least one tipper in this slow summer, but this is the saddest and most pathetic evening this entire summer!! And it's not me being pathetic, it's these MEN FOR BEING SUCH GREEDY ASSES!!!!
On another ntoe I'm sacrificing a day where I'm about to receive my periods in a few hours and all I get is NOTHING for it. I really want to find a job for next summer cuz I'm not worth this shit. Nope.

I just figured this out.. When you have an old regular who no longer spends money on you, or a paltry sum that stops by and says hello every once in awhile.. that's the exact same way they treat ex's.. they keep you in the loop and circle back to ya.. block them all!...lol

Here's another thing I realized.. I dunno about other girls.. but My income has been relatively the same since 2003.... so basically inflation makes me continuously lower my standard of living. I think the biggest reason is because you constantly have to get new customers every 3 or 4 months cuz they are expired!.. So you can never get anywhere with camming.. it's like a losing battle to me!.. I wish I wouldn't have wasted so many years working so hard to build something that never really happened.. and I think this is why..

I wish i would have NEVER listened to these broke losers back then who told me I will be rich and famous in this job...FIRST OF ALL you will NEVER be both in this job unless you sacrifice your entire life time to this job which means have fun having to stream 12-18 hours a DAY. Second of all, being FAMOUS doesn't means you make a lot of money in this job, but just many, MANY more greys and freeloaders who watch and share your streams on porn websites.
Third, the only people who make a shit tons of money in this job are the top bosses aka. our "pimps" unless you do indie camming all the time which is also not easy to do.
I wish I had never ever entered this industry...Too many downsides. Or I rather wish that I was born way earlier when camming was still easy money and not easy mental.
Sorry for the rant but I made only 1k in 2 months this summer. This is hella unacceptable. I have NO idea what to say to my parents as I'm still living off them. I have planned to have an own flat by next year. Well shit I can NEVER have an own flat with these high taxes in my country NEVER EVER.
I'm so depressed right now idk what to do anymore seriously.

Yea , I have a viral video that had over 1 million views.. was even talked about o n local radio stations etc etc.. I actually lost 10 grand that year of my usual wage and the next year I gained an extra 5 grand.. whooptido.. I even did porn for very well known porn sites.. never made more money on cam or anywhere else.. just the same always.. but the cost of living keeps going up... if you want to make money set your sights on something else.. camming just pays the bills .. it's a means to an end.

Lol sometimes it actually gets them to pay. And the lurkers that stay like that and don’t
Pay, I call out their username, their nickname and tell everyone that my stalker has dropped by again. It’s a great convo starter and can turn a boring night into fun

Camming like any job always is evolving. It was easy in 2005 to log on and make $2500 a week because sites werent saturated with performers and most sites didnt allow nudity in free chat. You have to evolve over time as well or you wont grow your income. I think the last few years have been amazing since you can sell snap chat, make clips, use texting sites, offer phone sex, easily have a members site, etc. The performers of today have many more ways to generate income and dont have to just rely on cam sites alone anymore. I dont know anyone that just cams anymore, they all have their hands in other revenue streams. Your name is your brand, you expand and grow

So my new regular just turned into a fucking asshole, all because I wouldn't be his "instant girlfriend". I wouldn't talk to him without payment and I wouldn't let him treat me how he wanted too. I'm glad I'm married because I fucking hate men. All of them. This industry has me jaded as fuck.
I'm so sick and tired of people trying to put me in the "supportive girlfriend" role. I literally just want to show my tits and make money. Why is that so wrong?

This is super validating for me, because there are days where the ban hammer goes everywhere and I worry about losing money. I once banned someone just when they called me to pvt because they were testing my patience with dirty talk. I should just start swinging the ban hammer earlier because when I don't they end up freeloading off shows, saying rude things, and other shit I just can't deal with.
Maybe I just need to work more and ban more hehe

Clearly you haven t seen what s happening on Jasmin (LiveJasmin) where you can t ban and if you kick they just come back...When I was working full time and exclusively had a few guys watching my room for up to one year (might be longer, might be less) never saying a word or talking once a month but staying in there sometimes almost all my shift. I involuntarily learnt their schedules, after a while I didn t even kick them anymore since I didn t wanna lose my time.
My guess is they were disabled people having nothing to do at home than opening perhaps multiple tabs of models in the same time and leaving their pc turned on such long hours.

This is the hardest part of the job - dealing with all the predatory, insect-brained loser trolls that I have nothing but colossal levels of unspeakable contempt for. If you're good at it, you'll quickly learn to do like ClassyKaty says and be on top of them with 0% patience. Compliments and fashion shows don't pay bills.

So, so , so much this. I had a great last month but now.....In fact I notice an influx of vanilla type guys and decrease in fetish guys although I am a domme, so it just generally feels like a weird mismatch/looking into the abyss on most cam sites. It's so frustrating not being able to take my aggression out on my little bitch paying customers any more!!! :D :D :D And I still have so much to learn...
I'm also going to be using the time to sign up for indy and sexting sites. I can't get all gussied up and fetished out to just be ignored by poverty-stricken entitled vanilla dudes this month.
