You can't talk to imaginary guys on Adultwork, they can all see what's typed but at least they only get 5 minutes before they're kicked out. That's still feels like a long time when they're just sitting there and not talking though, I sit in front of another laptop and busy myself on there until someone decides to talk to me.

This week has been my worst this year. Had some harsh days on a row. Still managed to pull my minimum, but it's definitely disappointing to see how much I have to hustle. Hoping for a good weekend to get me back on track.
Having bad premonitions for next week also (Thanksgiving and Blackfriday).

I agree, its been a rough week, I hate contest. However when this contest end on sat night , you better believe I will be cashing in. All of the top girls will be drained and take a day or 2 off. I will be working my ass off.

This week is so damn brutal.Its one of the worst weeks ive had in a long time.Thank god next week is my birthday and im taking 4 days off to relax and vacay.I kinda figure this week was gonna be bad.
Brace yourself ladies save extra money cuz these next few weeks are gonna be challenging.All these major holidays are back to back.Guys are probably saving their money for black friday shopping and christmas shopping.

Surprisingly, I'm currently in top 10. That doesn't mean I didn't have some awful days. I can tell you even the girls above me had a hard time and we're forced to put in more effort/hours, to keep that ranking. I'm close to my usual hours per week, but only 70% of weekly goal.
Slow strikes everybody, at different levels ofc, but we all feel it somehow. And to be honest, I don't think it's the contest. I've worked during others and ranked higher or lower. But this week been exhausting, physically and mentally.
But yes, next week should be less competion, unless SM announces a contest for Thanksgiving (they had one every year).

Almost 7 hours and just a bit over $3. SM glitched to bad to stream, cams was full of tw & trolls and my other sites are filled with tumbleweeds. I've been adding new sites but they've been new smaller ones and I think I am going to have to hit one of the big ones.

Man, Saturday used to be such a great day to cam.....past few months tho, its my worst day. By far. Been online almost two hours and not a peep, not a penny, anywhere. Maybe I should take off Saturdays or just work on night then? Fuck, I dunno. But the week was decent, just kinda shitty to end it like this.

Today has been quite upsetting. 6 hrs & only $26 but 2 heavy spenders came through, desired a show, then just before they decided to go exclusive... GHOSTED. This emotional roller-coaster just blew. I did not make goal this week. Next week I'm trying a later shift with longer hours. If this same thing happens next week I'll pull my goddamn hair out.

Somebody tiped for a flash and said ass instead another broke asshole said tits and i flashed them. I'm so tired I didn't notice it wasn't him tiping it. I feel like bobo the fool now. The other dude was interested in more but I chased him away thanks to that. Now I'm siting with two freeloader idiots in my room and I want to punch myself for not reading the usernames better. This night is so slow too and ruins my fucking nerves I'm so doneeeeeeeeeeeee ugh I hope for my big spenders to come in my room and save me.

MFC was suuuuper slow yesterday. 3 hrs 80 tokens but at least I stayed the fuck on. It was super annoying having people pop in and out of the room in the first hour. The money part sucked but letting my frustration out on a sissyboy was the highlight of my day. How sad

Hello girls I'm right here? I have a problem on chaturnate.com. The last 2 months is a disaster. FPS still falls. The client invites me to pvt and pvt turns off immediately.
When I do 10 dollars a day, I have Christmas. That has never happened to me. I had quite good earnings. I also noticed in the last 2 months that it has nailed many models. The former broadcast 40 pages. Now she was broadcasting 60 pages. Chaturbate still writes that he sees no problem.

It might be your internet or it could be the camsite. Check your speed at http://www.speedtest.net/. If other sites (Youtube, Google, this site, etc) are loading and running fine than its probably the camsite. If other sites are running slow its most likely your internet, if that's the case contact your Internet Provider so that they can try to fix the issue.
You should really try more sites though. In this day and age of camming depending on one site as your sole source of income is not a great idea. Try out some more sites....

That's exactly what's been happening with me too.
Yesterday was so dead on cam, that I actually pulled out my phone and started searching Craigslist for side gigs while I was streaming. Lol!
Naturally it made sense that it would be slow.
I just dropped a butt load of cash the day before to get my car repaired.
AND woke up to an email from my landlord saying she's raising my rent.
I'm blaming everything bad that's happening for the next 3 weeks on Mercury being in retrograde. Especially when Streamate crashed earlier in the week.
Ugh!

Awww *hugs* I know what you mean exactly. We all have had shows like that. Paid for a show. I start and then within 3 minutes close it. Usually I reply back with "?" "Did I do something wrong?" No response and then I don't care.
Do what you do and I am sure you are a top notch performer. People just suck sometimes.

Same here, no idea what happened. Shitty thing is that he had been trying to get a show for the past year, sporadically, but hed always message me when i wasnt on......he literally said 'you look amazing', then hung up, then removed me from Skype altogether. I mean, I still got his money, so whatever....but god if fucked with me at first. Fortunately, some guys came on SM and lavished me with compliments til I felt better.....so, that always helps lol

Im barely hanging in there to. Camming has taken a huge toil on my my mental heath, I cry often cause most of my shifts lately I make breadcrumb money and see others do so well so then I start thinking it must be me and the my confidence goes down and I feel like ugly piece of trash. Its been so hard just to get on every morning and put up with the bullshit guys I get in my room talking to me like im some worthless hoe. Its been so draining and im always in a bad mood.

Today isn't any better than yesterday for me, yesterday a regular saved my night by taking me pvt to make it up for all these cheapos who just sat and watched and threw 5 cents at me, but tonight I've gotten no hero. I sure hell hope a hero will come!! Ever since a few days ago I got a bunch of "I don't have tokens anymore bb" "I have no control over my spending behavior sorry thehe" and stuff like that. Like wtf they be already broke mid-month now and not just at the end of the month???? What has camming become.
I so hope for an escape plan some time, I'm already thinking of one now cuz I'm so sick of being treated like I'm not important and everyone's second choice. Camming has stopped being fun quite some time ago and not just for me by the looks of it. So many girls who stopped camming this year, are true inspirations to me who wants to get out of it too some time in the near future.

It’s become incredibly clear that I’ve reached burnout a lot sooner than most. Camming isn’t “my thing”.
I’ll finish out this week just to cover my cable bill and such but I never thought I’d be so happy to start a normal, boring, entry-level job in the way that I am now. It’s like a light switches off when I press the “broadcast” button and I become this disengaged, irritated, and rude asf version of myself that I don’t want to be around anymore.
This was the perfect gig for me when I lost my job. And you wouldn’t believe how grateful I am for the horny men who paid my bills and kept a roof over my daughters heads. Universe, thank you. But I’m ready to go.
I hope the week finishes out with a bang for everyone else, too.

I hate the PM Viewer feature on MyFreeCams. It's where the guys who don't want to bother interacting with you at all in free chat just chill and look at you on cam, without actually being IN your room (I think they just perv on you from the homepage or something). Every once in a while, somebody sitting in PM Viewer will tip, and/or make their way INTO the room to say hi. But usually they are just your typical lurker. Had a dude on there camp out in my free chat earlier today, and then when I logged on tonight I do believe his ass was already sitting in my free chat before I even got there (Yes, that is an actual thing on MFC...dudes can get into your room before you do). Come on, man. For someone refusing to talk or tip (and was following me on Twitter), you doing too much, and creeping me out.

SM contests... Even though I need to adapt to this new phase of them, it is so difficult at the moment to do 10 hours every day to just make pennies, even though I am not a new model. Argh, I just wonder how they are doing with all of this... I'm currently dividing my time in between SM and Cams.com, which also has been dead. I hope it will get better with time for all of us girls struggling during contest times. It is amazing that I did over $100 before this new contest and now I am struggling to make $20 bucks for the past 4 hours.

This week on SM has been dismal. Yesterday was the worst! $25.82 for 7 hrs on SM. Today? $57.75 in 3 hrs on SM. I have to make $160 today to even meet a bare minimum goal for this week as I'm staying with family tomorrow through Sunday. It may not happen. & 96 tokens for a 3 hrs on Chaturbate as a new lady? This is very upsetting to say the least. Camming sucks right now!

Worst day evereverEVER.
Started with a new guy on Skype this morning who went out of his way to try and scam me by setting up a show for like an hour in advance then pretending he sent the money and then vanishing.
Then a guy with a tranny fetish hung up on me two minutes in, after seeing my pussy and I discovered later he's gay (his username has the word "homo" in it).
I had to hang up on the next call, a regular, as I had my period and started suddenly feeling dizzy. (Can't wait to get my shiny new glucose monitor to track this shit better- I'm a fucking mess at this time of the month.) That has never happened before.
Apologized profusely and gave free minutes. He said he'd call back.
Rested, went on MFC for all of 20 minutes, pretty slow, I log off.
Check my camscore. Was 1036 that morning, is now 314. Freaked out and emailed MFC- it must have been a stretch of low tokens, got the usual explanation, not a glitch.
Took a nap while boyfriend fed the cats then fed me chicken pot pie, cranberry walnut salad and chocolate.
I feel better now :D Thank god for men who are normal :D
And cats.

I had to lower my prices for a creepy dude cuz it was so damn dead and I can't afford to make 10$ tonight. It appears it was a mistake. He became creepy and our private show was too long. I was so bored. But I told him for that price I won't do anything sexual. At least he didn't ask me to get naked or somthing like that or I would have cussed him out. Now he thinks he can also get my kik for free!! Lesson learned: Never ever ever ever ever lower my prices ever!! I made a bit of money but it was a waste of time, in this time a regular could have saved my night like always, but probably a few regulars tried to come by my room but noticed I was in a pvt. I'm sooo pissed that I was so desperate to lower them. I made him probably believe that I was cheap and easy to get, but I'm a damn luxurious woman so never in my life am I cheap!!!

DEF a lot of creepos out lately! Who cares what that useless, disposable wallet thinks? Yeah, def never lower your rates (by any significant margin) for someone who seems creepy, you could maybe do something else on the side if it's that slow to make that $10 an hour like transcription or selling cookies or vintage stuff on ebay!! Sex work is a luxury service and carries high value, which unfortunately a lot of ignorant sexist broke losers who come into our sights don't get (I don't think they *get* much of anything really) *sigh*
Luckily we get to educate their inferior asses through many forms of humiliation which are highly pleasurable and satisfying for us dommes!!

A good client of mine from NF started to think every time he had a call, he was going to get a discount/B1G1 deal or had the right to message me on Skype to ask me to go on cam for free. After probably the 15th time he asked, I finally terminated that customer. So disrespectful.

I've got these two premium members on MFC who NEVER tip, but they're always in my room chatting (and I do encourage people to chat). But every time one or both of them are in my room, that night always turns out to be a shitty token night. It's like they are always around on my SHITTY token nights, but never there when I'm getting tipped nicely. When my #1 reg is in there tipping, these other two dudes are never around. LOL. Why are they always there to see me at my worst? It's crazy...

I've been researching little by little making a side business baking confections like artisan cookies, macarons, chocolate, petit fours etc and selling on Etsy or farmers markets, then possibly leasing an actual bakery . Apparently you can make a decent profit margin on gourmet sweets esp vegan and organic.
