Same here, i could never do a vanilla job again. Although, today did suck. Still gonna keep on truckin tho.

Well I'm not sure what platform you cam on, but Streamate has a 30% Christmas bonus this week. So i'm going to hustle my ass off. I mean for every $100 we make a extra $30. It will be hard with the competition but it should be a easy $1000 week.

Did the worst thing last night but just was so pissed. The pay period ended on CB and I was about to log off. One of my regulars came in and tipped 500 tokens and another regular who was usually a big spender came in to ask for a pvt (hasn't shown up in 2 months tho). I have never been so angry in my life and unfortunately it read across my face when I received both of their offerings. There was no smiles, there was no tip moans from my lush, there was no general kindness. I said thank you in the coldest way ever. It's not nice, but seriously WTF. These guys have been on the site for years and probably have talked to other girls so I know that they FUCKING KNOW that the pay period ends on the 15th. And they on the east coast. They literally had hours to come in my room and tip. But these bitches want to ask one half hour AFTER the pay period. Merry Christmas, um ok. I won't be receiving my "christmas present" till after January 4th, so merry fucking christmas to you too bitch. Thanks for ensuring I made minimum fucking wage this period.

I know I sound ungrateful and should be grateful for the money, but literally 1/2 hour after the pay period when I am GOING to GO to sleep and relax these niggas wanna tip. I have been on cam for 10 hour days this week. Literally had my huge mixed ass up in the cam and shit. Makeup done like a Kardashian. Not a tip. Now I sit looking like a piece of poo with all my clothes on bitter and silent and these bitches going wild with their money. WTF. Sorry not sorry for not moaning on my tip vibe being full of rage, sorry not sorry for the attitude. I'll probably give the big tipper a free video or pic set to make up for it to keep his regularity, but seriously fuck them all.

Wow wow wow. I have to make sure I am not the only one going through one of the WORST weeks of my cam life so far. No video sales, no traffic on Streamate. I was on for 6 hours yesterday and made $20. The holidays sure are killing me.
I need to work on some side hustles, that's for sure.

LaraLee
12-16-2018, 03:48 PM
Wow that sucks, so far this week is starting off ok for me. I only cam for 2 hours at a time. However if the 1st 90mins is slow I log off. I sell on eBay and poshmark, maybe you should look into it for a side job. I hope your week picks up. Remember there are allot of holiday parties this weekend so the guys are not around. Good luck!!

I am also doing terribly this week lol, making about $10 an hour. I mean I'm thankful for that amount and all, I suppose it could be worse, but fuck where are my whales with their generous holiday spirit? Spending money on their loved ones instead? LAME!

Yeah so...it's rough out there. The week leading up to XMas/Xmas Eve & Xmas are usually some of the best days of the year $$-wise for me and I generally have fun and enjoy working a lot. Started out the week busting my ass putting in hours and being excited about cashing in on the 30% bonus SM is doing, and while it started out OK, the last 3 days have just been a total nosedive. My patience, energy and self-esteem are just kinda shot right now. Still holding out hope and trying to remain positive that it turns around though, it's not over yet. Good luck and Merry Christmas ladies, we'll all be OK no matter what <3

I just wanted to remind everyone, a glimmer of positivity, to make a spreadsheet so you can see what your average is each day/week/month/year. A bad day or week does not make it a bad month. Remember to stay consistent and pin point what may be off in your persona/marketing plan to amp things back up. Happy Holidays.

Can someone confirm if January is usually better than this fucking December? :(

This month has literally been the worst month for me in over 2.5 years since I started camming. Sooo many timewasters and broke ass losers begging me to lower my rates or just adding me for the sake of it.

I am fortunate enough to be leaving the industry in September and starting a new vanilla job so I'm really happy about that. I just can't do this shit any longer now...

I'm having a sucky few days this week also hun. Are your prices similar as last year? I compared over last year like I usually do, despite working more I'm not as high as last year this week YET. However there is still time. I think it's the calm before the storm as the last 2 years in a row the end of dec and 1st week of january were my highest earning weeks of those years so I wouldn't write it off yet ladies. Any minute someone can make your whole day , or week.Sometimes it only takes 1 person, it doesn't need to be busy, keep smiling dolls <3 positive vibes for us all

I’m not doing anything for tips anymore. I say “Tips or tributes are tokens of appreciation and given as gifts without the expectation of anything in return.” This week I took away the open to send Gold for a request or flash due to heavy freeloading. My numbers are high and my earnings are down 75% this week. When I announce I’m not doing anything for tips or Gold the freeloader box number goes down.

In fact this month has been so bad me and a few of my cam friends have considered quitting or getting a part time job which is more realistic than staying in this job when we are in fact unhappy! I'm really looking to pursue a new education by 2019/2020 so I can slowly cam lesser and lesser and then quit. This job is not a dream job anymore. And I'm worth more than just around $2,500 a month which is the half of the minimum salary we have in our country!

What?! What country do you live in where the minimum salary is about 60k? Because I need to move there ASAP. Like right the fuck now.
Like 100% curious, where you at boo? Lol.

Switzerland. Don't be fooled, shit here is ultra expensive and the taxes take away a lot of your money right after you got your paycheck. I hear so many times how "awesome" my country is and how many people are so rich and well payed and well treated. That doesn't counts for the mentally ill, sick, injured and foreign people here. I want to eventually move to Germany or Austria. I may sound a little ungrateful but my country is not that great as many people assume. We also have a very very slow political system. We are one of the only countries in Central Europe to still have LGBT marriage banned, that's a good example.

I had a German friend living here in Switz, even when she is white (yet still a foreigner), she was treated so badly and paid lower than the non-foreigners in her jobs she's had here. She was so sick of my country that she went back to Germany. My country made her depressed and I understand why, my country also makes me depressed.

Truly, not everything in my country is so bad, but the things that are bad are problematicly bad imo.

Incredible. Already one day before Xmas and freeloaders and cheap imbeciles have already the most perfectest excuse of the year for not tiping me ESPECIALLY today: It's Xmas bb that's why it's slow everybodys partying already!!

NO IT'S FUCKING NOT. There's still more than 24 hours (from my time) until it's Xmas. Get your cheap ass outta here you wouldn't tip me even if it was any other day of the year!!

It's not that camming sucks, the men suck.

On Xmas I hoped on both days to make it to my high goal. Nope. Didn't happen.

So I decided to hop on effortless and without to show my face the entire session long today, even in pvts. I'm not going to slap on my expensive make up just for a few $$$ before I go on vacations. These men gotta deal with headless me for today!

If they all tell me they are broke and stuff I can also act all greedy by not showing face. Sorry not sorry. Nobody deserves to see my usual dolled up self today. Not after these greedy ass bags didn't give me any gifts this Xmas.

Anyone else get frustrated staring at a room of guys who won't interact all? Try to engage them. Nothing. Ask them questions. Nothing. Flirt. Nothing. Just room join and leave messages. This gets frustrating sometimes. I can't interact with nothing.

That's why I have another laptop in front of me...I do stuff on that until someone interacts. I am not going to sit there smiling at them while they wank and don't talk to me.

There is absolutely no traffic for me today. over the 6th hour and I had 1x pvt. I guessed , after the holidays, traffic ll slow down, but this... I sitting in an empty room 5 hours ago.

I think it would be just wiser to take this day off - well what left of it, and dont even try to touch "camming" or however u call this.

Try camming on other live sites - split camming - and working several non-live sites (SkyPrivate/CMD/SextPanther/Talk To Me/NiteFlirt etc.) I bet you will see a turn around. 8)

It's slow on my end too. I keep the image and feeling of a $200 day in my mind and that I just need two good shows (I'm sure to get at least 2 in 8 hours). Hang in there. It's not easy, but doable.
