This week has been soul shattering. Worst week I have had in well over a year, I know its bad for everyone....and I almost had a long show today that would have gotten me close to goal (i havent made goal all week, or even close) but the guy tried haggling my price by $20 less and I refused it....then started kicking myself in the ass and really questioning my self worth and whether I should have even stuck to my guns when its been so bad. Like, I need the money so bad, but....is my self respect worth that $20 extra? God it sucks to be questioning myself like this. Even worse when I know I wont make anything else tonight and I should have probably done that stupid show.

I've had SO MANY moments like this, but I get through it by believing it will get better... nothing is worth lowering my standards, especially for strangers on cam who don't see my worth.

Honestly I don't think you need to beat yourself up over taking a price cut if it will help you out. Even luxury stores run sales. So many people and places offer discounts for cash up front because so many would rather settle for 'less' to get a lump sum quickly. I've seen plenty of camgirls who lower their rates for sale days and whatnot. You don't need to turn it into a moral battlefield, it's just business, it's just about making sales.

I'm definitely more than convinced now to start a new education by 2020. I'm sick of the freeloaders, deadness, endless anxiety, isolation, 6-7 days a week camming without any proper vacations every year, low pay and men who look down on me and tell me what to do and throw a few cents at me!!!! Fuck this

I was really looking forward to things picking up after December, notoriously the worst month of the year to be a cam girl. The shutdown is impacting many peoples' ability to pay their bills, let alone buy porn. It's pushed me to double my hours on cam and to expand my clientele. We can make it through this, everyone <3 Hustle hard and make that money!

Hello there.. Yes, me too. Ive been doing fine this month but today aiaiaiianis a ghost town as u said above. The worse thing is that I have traffic, lil but have, and they just come in and out whitout saying a word. Jesus¡ that irritares me a lot, so weird, maybe they dont see me. With SM broadcaster or OBS is still the same. Ewww makes me angry...

Month started off so well....then I was hospitalised and once I told these fuckers this, they deserted me. Not that I was expecting them to be sympathetic or anything, but still. This month has been awful ever since. So many guys (even my regs) are being complete cheap assholes. Thank god I am leaving this all behind in September. Literally counting down each day now...

Yesterday and today are my worst days this month. Even a good regular of 8 years with unrealistic expectations trying to be cheap. I got ONE Streamate session that lasted just under 2 minutes. Other than that it’s all “Show tits and I’ll take you PVT.”

It's definitely a slower month. I just have to be available more than I really want to be. Pulled my last January's numbers and looks like I can meet or exceed last years January. Just sucks because I actually took 1.5 weeks off for a surgery last year and STILL did really well actually. New girl status does give you a lot more traffic on certain sites.

Can't do it today, I feel very tired from the 3 day weekend from hell on cam Fri, Sat, Sun and today I tried for 2 hours.. I didn't even make anything on SM at all and that is my Main Site.. so I guess forget it.. I feel drained.. Will try again on Thursday.. I need to go back to the land of living now.

01-21-2019, 04:39 PM
Goodness! If today is any indication of how the rest of the week is going to go...I will have to do an hour of negative energy clearing each lunch break. I've only made $46 in 7 hours. I'll chalk it up to a slow day.

On the plus side: I found my fav comedian on Amazon Music Unlimited. All his albums are available to stream and I've been laughing my whole shift. My mood has been positive and I'm not going to allow a shitty day to throw me off.

I have a date planned for tonight. I'm gonna take a hot ass shower, exfoliate my skin, shave, put on my hottest dress, and my cum fuck me boots then kill this guy dead when he lays eyes on my fine ass LOLOL.

Hello there. I was on Sm and made 35 today. I would love to be in the side of those who can earn money during contests but the reality is other. They should change the name of the contest of our 3 best days? Better to say: your 3 worst days, if u get a chance to make money then we will give u an extra bonus.yeah yeah :-[

Hahahaaa me too! If the guy I meet is even kind of rude to wait staff I excuse myself early. I cannot date a dick LOL. I like nice men with manners. This fella was polite and conversational. I ended the date after two hours and he looked surprised. I asked him if he'd like to spend more time together later this week and he jumped like someone shocked his ass LOL. Thanks doll. I think your positive vibes were received.

jesus h christ...it's like these creeps can't not tell the truth today...i swear it must be the blood wolf moon or whatever the hell it is... i've never had such weird people in my life in my traffic and even regulars as well acting very odd. Non-stop werid changes in behavior all day long and behavior very unusual for MFC members who don't spend this much time trolling.

For ex some old reg tried to tell me how he's broke (as usual) and I was feeling snarky, so I made a snarky comment about how everyone else is too due to them all sadly having wives and families they spend holiday money on. Iit's because his "family comes first but he thinks of us 'heaps'" and I'm like, "but you won't even pay us since you are always broke when you talk to me and I'm sure your wife thinks about you while we dont AT ALL." And he's like "my wife would cut off my cock if she knew."

So I say "how does your family come first if you spend your time thinking about camgirls instead of your wife, AND youre lying to her about such a serious thing?"

How sad that a female decided to breed with this pathetic excuse for a male.

Sure! Most of those losers's partners would cut them off if they knew; but these addicts get off on lying and sneaking around, like it's cool or exciting when it's the exact opposite. It reveals how very boring you are as a person that lying and sneaking like a little kid is what you do for excitment and how lowly your abilities and qualitites are. Predators think like this. And predators are always the weakest of the human race (even though it's the opposite usually in the animal kingdom) because it indicates that you can't fight someone your own size. These types of guys are essentially little manbabies who find doing mischief against "mommy" (the wife) to be a thrill. How unbelievably pathetic must it be to never feel powerful at all that you must rebel against your own wife and troll sex workers to finally experience it?

Plus the extra kicker that they are broke and cheap af anyway- another very, very poor quality to have as a human being- they don't deserve to breed, how sad must a female be to mate with one of these bottomfeeders?

I only respect real men.

I'm now asking members if they are hearing other models complaing about traffic lately.

Member replies: " I don't know LOL"

Me: "Why not?"

Member: "I'm not interested in Russian studio chicks."

Me: "WTH are you talking about?"


Is our traffic all mentals from 4chan? I've always had coherent chatty conversations with loads of people throughout my entire time doing this job; all of a sudden it's like the only people who enter my room are catatonic inpatients or something.

Is there something new they've done with the traffic?

Would require him to have patience, discipline and a somewhat reasonable IQ in order to be a predator, features that a broke man definitelly doesn t have them. I am not talking here about sexual predators, I don t see those as highly functional gents in society, sociopaths never are.

no correcting that- it's the amount of traffic too... My MFC friends list is empty, everyone is offline. even the clients on my skype list will hit me up in numbers of at least five or so per day. Now it's nothing, and old timewasters coming back out of the blue and trying to talk my rates down.

and NF I usually receive maybe 2-3 clicks per hour total and it's like a click every other hour now.

I noticed that when it’s good I’m bombarded with the best customers all at the same time. I end up missing good shows because I’m busy with someone else. Maybe the Super Blood Wolf Eclipse moon sucked the horny out of the best customers.

I really don't understand whats going on with sm sunday was my best day on cam ever i was super excited and motivated to make more money i logged off for the day because i really did work hard i worked 11 hours and did my best ever . I was in the 200 range for the contest and steadily moving up i was excited about that . Then i worked 7 hours and made 45 then yesterday i worked about ten hours and made 83 which isnt bad and then i did another 5 hours for 12 dollars i dont get it and now im noy rven in the top 500 and that sucks my internet cuts off for 2 days until friday im hoping i can make friday into cutoff on saturday a 300 dollar day heres hoping i really wanted to win something in the contest i dont know if it really doesnt matter until they add everything saturday or not and maybe that will determine if i am in thr top 200 or not cause right now im not even in the 500 :/

so much this! i guess that's what i mean. on both mfc and nf, in the couple years i've done this it's either dead, or it's buzzing with shows and tips coming slowly but consistently, some are good and some are low but they're always there. now it's just like dead-buzzing with trolls-dead-dead-buzzing with trolls even my camscore is higher than it's been in a while.

edit: i'm waking up to messages and missed calls etc so it looks like i'm back! That proves it was just the blood wolf moon as things are quickly getting back to normal!! Phew rent's coming up!

another note, yesterday and today on NF i've gotten calls minutes after turning my availability off, and a few times I had old client names pop up and message me despite me not seeing the clicks on the FL clicks list. I havent checked my placement but I dunno it's just a general feeling of "things and people are acting wonky all over lately"

my internet cuts off for 2 days until friday im hoping i can make friday into cutoff on saturday

is it a payment issue? when spectrum says theyre going to cut mine off i often just send them like $50 instead of the $80 and it's fine for another month. or it's like $20 to turn it back on until i can pay the bill a few days later. maybe I could send you $50 for it? Could you ask a client to pay it? 2 days is ALOT of time to be down and internet is the most important necessity for this job. Man i really wish we didn't have a monopoly here, my internet cut out for ten minutes the other day right at the beginning of a MFC private!! $40 down the drain heh, but he did come back tho.

Yes i owe about 160 its spectrum also ! The bill just went up and so i was not prepared to pay it and it was supposed to cut off today or so they said i asked them if there was a way i could get a two day extension and they said sure if you pay the past due and the new bill and thats alot so i said no i will just lose the two days and pay the one past due bill. So complicating. How nice of you to offer to help that is awesome wow ! I am floored by that because there are not many good people left in the world or so it seems so its always nice to see someone willing to help ! Thanks so much as of now its still on so maybe it goes off tomorrow and i will only lose one day im not sure or maybe they just wont cut it off at all either way i have a day to cam so im excited for that and im hoping to do better and get back in the ranks of the contest. I am trying so hard to get things caught up so this doesnt happen hopefully ever again i have so many debts but i paid of 20 grand of debt over the past 5 years and that was with just family assistance because i have been so sick and tired all the time i finally felt good enough to start back and i finally decided to just take the plunge so far so good . Thanks again though ! if they do cut it off tonight or tomorrow i will just look at it as a mandatory break lol i have been doing alot of hours lately !
