I have no fucking mercy anymore. From now on it's all about me in this job, men's stupid excuses are being ignored and these tokenless compliments are not even receiving a "thank you" from me. People who tell me they have no money or they are broke are getting a ban from me without any other words exchange. I'm not giving speeches anymore how I'm not here for free and just get straight to the point.

My mood for the rest of 2019: Fuck you, pay me!

Yep sounds just like what I've been saying! -it's got to be the marketing and traffic they're pulling in. Or maybe it's the deep winter bringing out the bitterness. Something is definitely off.

Don't be scared, it will come back. Sex work is the oldest profession in the world, camming will always come back.

I had a wonderful day today in this absolutely glorious Florida weather (65, cool breeze, sunny) walking by the lake, running errands and netflix-and-chilling with a massage, sushi, and gourmet chocolates with the bf and cats. Everyone out and about happy and cheery and just lovely (except a teenager at Aldis whining about waiting in line and opening more registers lol.) I love laughing at the pathetic things trolls tell me, the weirder, the meaner the better cuz they make better stories to laugh about. I'm titanium ;) And refreshed and ready af for the next week of poor traffic and men with mental issues. Waste my time in any way then prepare to get blocked, cuz timewasters don't pay, they waste time and energy.

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 !


np....woww yeah i'm usually over a month behind but i still get away with just paying one month or even less. their service isnt all that great anyway, fuck em. it usually takes them a couple days to disconnect it anyway, as i know from experience lol

yes i seem to stay a month behind too hoping to change that soon ! As of now it is still on but i only worked about 3 hours yesterday for 15 dollars wtf !! So i am happy to have the extra day but i sure hope i make more than that i am still not in the 500 of the contest is there still a chance for me ? It said they dont really add them all up until saturday so i am assuming maybe i have a chance but with me not being the 500 as of now thats whats scary unless i could jump up there saturday at the end not sure does anyone know the algorithm of it like how much u have to make to win x amount ? thanks !i was just trying for the 200 maybe someone who has won 200 before can tell me thank u !!

Ive made $80 on SM....ALL WEEK. Last week I did okay on SM, but all my indy sites were completely dead. This week my indy sites are improved but SM is a nightmare. I only average a few hundred bucks on SM a week, so that big of a cut is huge to me....i just want both indy AND sm to cooperate at the same goddamn time, its the only way i can make any real money.

Good job! I've done almost 25 hours and earned 324.60... You're killing it in comparison! I think I have to call it quits after spending 2 hours this morning with MAYBE 5 members entering and asking/begging for freebies. The week from 6 - 12 was also a bad one for me, I only mad $70 all week. Really hoping next week picks up for everyone. I wonder if it's slow right now because people are away and recovering from spending money over the holidays? Tax season is also around the corner...

Nothing but beggers and dusties online.I really think the government shut down is affecting us .These are scary times in america and people are using their money wisely.Pussy and cyber sex is a luxury so were definitely gonna feel the pain ! Trying to remain positive and just work longer hours even though i'm mentally and physically exhausted. Hang in there yall.Your not alone.

Times like these i fantasize about having a back up hustle.Unfortunately camming and clips are my only income.

You are not alone girls. The government shutdown, low $$ after the holidays, last chance for taxes, end of the month it's affecting us all.

I'm currently sitting in top 10, already made my usual hours, but have 30% less earnings than my usual low goal (I'm not even talking high goal). While some of you might call me crazy, cause I still made decent money, that doesn't mean I'm not having a hard time also. I'm putting all my hope in tomorrow, to actually get a spot in top 10 and save what's left of this pile shit of a week.

Hang in here. All those days I've been grinding teeth, waiting for a rich prince charming and everyday some big daddy saved me from not making biscuit money. No exaggeration, yesterday I've made $8 in my first 2h. Thursday I've made $3 my first hour, $20 the second hour.
Feb it's going to be better, it must be better!
Let's burn January already.

Good luck and wish you all peaceful days (mental health can be all over the place during a stressful week)!

Agree, agree, agree! ^ I'm starting to see a real slow down and dudes that I know work for the government are either non-existent now or they just beg and chat my damn ear off.........

Besides Xmas slump (everyone is broke), and January usually sucking anyway this is getting VERY hard to deal with........

My usual goal is $300-$350 (4-8 hours) a day (pushing it for sure now) and no joke over the last week I have had a $60 day (6 hours), a $40 day (4 hours - got fed up and made content instead) and a $120 day (6 hours).

I've started having to dabble more in clips which has helped a little bit but nothing like what I need to survive.

This shut down is starting to fucking scare me to be honest........

Thanks to camming sucking big, hairy balls and my daycare provider screwing me over, I'm waaaaaaay behind on my goal for this month. I don't even have rent yet! So I'm officially saying fuck it, and I'm going to dance for the next few weeks. I'm not making anything lately, no matter what I do. I'm a month away from starting this vanilla job, that may be a career changer for me, but I have to make enough to hold me over until then. Ugh! Why does being a cam hoe have to be so difficult!? I literally just wanna show my tits and get rich. Is that so bad???

i'm hoping it's just the time of the month- hang in there, do what you gotta do and be assured it will come back. members are getting cheaper and trolling- holy shit, i had someone offer me $5 to jerk off to some girl whose photo he keeps showing me because "it's all he had". ARE YOU SHITTING ME? WTF is going on?? i blame this time of the month. So many things are going wrong and the "booming economy" is a bunch of mostly employed people with extremely stagnant low wages, crappy jobs, shitty marriages and no savings, and now the government isn't paying 25% of its workers. Fuck it, it's all so sad and pathetic. Hang in there, girls!

Edit: from CNN shutdown updates "President Trump said he is ready to shut down the government again or "use the powers afforded" to him if lawmakers and the White House are unable to come up with a plan to fun his border wall.

Under the newly announce plan, the government will reopen for three weeks, until Feb. 15." so it may hapen again but it just reopened, hopefully everyone will start getting paid again and custies will be less worried about money.

no they don't count it at the end, it goes automatically. They are on;y using your best 3 days, my rank didn't go up till I beat my worst day (I work 4 days) so the only way your rank will go up is if you top your earnings from a previous day

It's much easier when i splitcam and I usually always hit my high goal without a lot of hours, but i can't do it at the moment since Streamate doesn't pay out for a while and I need to focus on my shorter payout streams this week. Man I really wish SM had a daily pay option.

yeah the quality of traffic has seriously dropped off this past week or so- i've been doing for a year and a half and have had an average to low camscore for all that time due to not getting on cam enough( only about a week a month), but I've never seen the level of trolling/vanishing/cheapness as I have this week.

The work's coming back but slowly.

I don't have a social media following or anything and I have health issues which sometimes impede how long I can stay online for, although I'm working on that.

Hell yess girl you say it!! I'm also fed up with it, in 2020 I now decided to get into a tattoo art job and I will try visiting a tattoo shop to see if I like it firstly this year, but there's a 90% chance I will like this major as I'm an artist for many years already and many recommended me working as a tattoo artist before, and being an artist is a big plus in this job. I hope to become a student again in 2020 so I can start my new career and have a thing next to camming, camming alone makes me INSANE and depressed.

A hoe is fed up with men's stupidity and cheapness!!!!! I will keep camming until I'm done with my tattoo diploma and during my last school year I will slowly become more inactive in cam until I finally quit hopefully in 2024 or earlier.

None that ive seen really the biggest is you only get 30 instead of 35% but you do get paid daily once you get verified through them and they verify your bank account.they wont turn you away. If you go on here and scroll down in camming connection theres a whole thread on them with more details. But no theyre not picky and welcome everyone that's of age 😁👍

That's cool!! In my country I just read that they have more and more tattoo studios, thus more and more competition. The salary went down here also. I'm a bit scared to hear that tbh. But you know what? The salary can't be as low as wecamming for me. Every salary in my country is way higher than camming. So I'm putting all my hopes in it for now. But I'm trying to not put my hopes too high, after all I have failed to get a new education since 2016...

But I hope to end this endless circle of isolation, depression and low pay very soon. Camming is not a job that I want to do forever anymore, despite having said that in the beginning of my cam career. It has robbed me of many nerves and has given me huge anxiety about money every month especially since 1 year. It also had good effects on me, but mostly bad ones. I have to admit despite being so sure that sex work is totally something for me, in the end I have to realize, it isn't. For a short amount of time it was fun, until I lost my first job/education and that firstchoice drama occured. Then it got hard, very hard to make money for me. I'm done giving my full energy into camming and appearing exhausted outside of it. It's definitely not worth it. I'm not worth this shit. I'm looking forward to a brighter future, but without camming.

I stayed the fuck on and I'm ending my day with $70.25 Man, today was so rough. Just so very slow and only one reg. The only good things about today are: I completed my hours goal and didn't have to deal with any jerks. Also each show I did was a pleasure. So the whole day isn't a wash, I just wish I had made more money.
