I literally didn't know how I was going to go on without SW.. how would I ever know what is the latest greatest cam site, or if I have a problem that only camgirls know!.. or a slow day or anything.. I literally saw my life going down the tubes without you all!..lol.. I felt like I couldn't continue on camming or do anything anymore and I have been around these parts for 16 yrs now , I have became co-dependent on this place. The first 9 yrs I flew solo and only had a few cam girls to talk to on yahoo and then I found this Nirvana.

Not gonna lie, I felt a little lost with SW. Its literally the CNN for camgirls. It always helps, knowing if its slow for others and not just you, or sharing other girls' victories', or just talking, sharing tips, complaining, etc.....and it gives me something to browse through while i sit around those long hours when nothing is going on.

WTF is going on??? I've been on 12 hours today and all I've made is $83. Usually I make atleast $150-$200. Is it this slow for everyone else too?

I have a question for all of you. Do any of you only cam 1-3 days a week to make your weekly goal? I cam almost every day for a few hours to make my money. I dread going online daily and would love to work more hours daily and less days a week. However some days are just so slow.

Got online and my room was full of freeloaders: crazies, people that wanted real meets, beggars, people that said they were masturbating looking at my face, meanies and all that kind of moon hawlers and I was like wtf?? Then I remembered that it's a full Moon in Aries, so I took out my black tourmaline crystal and placed it between me and the computer screen, for energetic protection, against bad vibes. Now I barely have anyone enter my free chat but hey, camming may suck, but black tourmaline works, yo!! hahahahah

You are honestly my mood tonight lmao
3-4 hours later still bad. Had to take a break otherwise I would have screamed out of frustration. I only made 20$ so far rip
And funny it's not even me. I tease so much but not one fish is bitting the bait. I'm very good at teasing so it's not me. All just broke boys tonight. Can go stare at themselves in the mirror but please not at me LOL

Tonight was my 1st night back after being gone for 5 days. I was online for 2 hours and made $100 bucks, not bad. I tend to make more money when I'm gone for a week or so. If i'm on every day at the same time, I don't make as much. Only $400 more to go until the end of the pay week.

He he! I do something similar.
I lay my prosperity crystals on, and around my computer. I even hold them.
I set them out in the moonlight for a ' moon bath' every full moon.
Even though the full moon is officially tonight, I started putting them out last night.
This is a powerful and very energetic full moon, so I need all the help I can get. Lol!

Yes, you are right, tonight is the actual full moon and it's in Taurus (should be good for money!), but it was quite full last nite too, judging by the loads of lunatics in my free chat...
I also have prosperity crystals, I am very much into these things, so on my desk is a mess of tiger eye, carneol (for energy, lol), pyrite, rose quartz (so I don't block them all), black tourmaline, onyx, citrine and some rocks from the beach, to ground me so I don't have panic attacks because of the free chat hahaha.

I'm surrounded by crystals too...not sure how much they're helping me though, maybe things would be even worse without them!

Just when I'm thinking of focusing more on clips, C4S screws over most of the studios by featuring popular studios in each category instead of the lastest uploads from any studio. This was an incredibly important feature for getting clips seen!

The recession can already be felt in certain segments of the country's economy now in 2018. It will reach the entire United States economy in 2019. The global economy will experience it in 2020. Also, the economists will not officially announce it until 2020.

I believe you are onto something. There are help wanted signs everywhere but at least where I am from it is part time or minimum wage. The unemployment rate is supposedly so low because a lot have officially lost their unemployment. Cost of living has significantly increased in some areas.

The moon was in Taurus you say? Didn't know that. Thank You for the info.
Well, I'm a Taurus, so I don't know if I'm affected more.
All I know is we Taureans love money, and are masterful in getting it.:)
My motto is, " In God we trust. All others pay cash." Lol!

That's how it is here as well. Places are hiring but it's minimum wage,part time and no benefits

like what the fuck is going on with traffic lately? I know its the end of the month but its usually not this damn bad. Yesterday I only made $58 and today I've only made around $20 in 4 hours, not even minimum wage??? And lately there been close to 2000 models on sm, like wth is up with that? I am on multiple sites too. Friday is usually one of my best days too. I thought that things usually got better this time of year but to me it seems like its getting worse and worse? :Like seriously...wtf is going on?
I am seriously starting to get worried, I just logged out so no one would see me crying on cam ;(

It has been slower then normal, however the end of the month may have something to do with it. There are girls on SM making bank. I'm besties with a top model and she brings in $2000 a week working only 25 hours or less, so they are still paying.

Exactly, she is a top model....and it has always been slower at the end of the month for me too, but $20 in 4 hours on a friday is not normal

I understand ur situation. Yesterday I made 61$ in 4hrs (not great) well, has been slow compared with september that was really good for me, even in the end of month, money was consistent but maybe are due to sports, end of year I dont know. Ive talked with some cam friends and they said exactly the same. Since two weeks more or less is happening. I was stressing, crying and cursing but just make things worse. Now, before camming I try to do some excercises to relax my body , mind, and remind that im not the only one that is going thru this bad moment. Always there are downs and ups in this industry so now is one of them. Is terrible but there is always a tomorrow and hopes. Keep strong, we arent alone. Good luck and stay positive. Hugs for u all.

I'm hoping it will pick up and I get to atleast my low goal by the end of the day ;( It just sucks cause last month I was under my monthly goal by almost $800 and this month I am trying soooo hard to get to $3000. I am only about $500 away but still....I've put in way more hours than I have all year this month too. I already work 12 hours on Mondays and Fridays plus I've been working sundays this month....so 6 days a week. Tuesday thru Thursday I do 7 hours and then a few at night cause afternoons usually suck for me lately unless its mon or fri
Oh, and another thing that is very upsetting, I am in the bbw section...my rates are at $3.99 and $4.99 and have been that way for well over a year and honestly I know I should probably raise them but have just been scared too cause someone always bitches about it when I do. I was looking around in other girls beside me tho and I couldn't believe how many girls in the bbw category are charging under $2 and $3...like WHAT???
