Was my birthday today. Thought it would get me some good shows and tips. I made $1.96. Now to get under the covers and cry and pretend i didnt have a birthday this year.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL! Please don't cry. Have a glass of wine and forget about those jerks. You are gorgeous and those peasants don't deserve to see you on your bday anyway. I hope the rest of your bday is 100x better love. *big hugs*

Happy Birthday, Beautiful! I have a fake birthday for cam and no one knows my real Birthday. In fact I don’t even advertise my fake birthday unless a regular asks. Even then they don’t do anything for me.

Did a 6 hour shift on sm and stayed in a perky mood hoping "staying the fuck on" would pay off. Nope... Didn't even hit $100. It was so slow and the traffic I did get just wanted to hang out and not do shows, even my regs. I had an ambitious goal this week but everything seems to be working against me (internet outage, unexpected health issues, slow traffic.) looks like I'll be pulling from savings to pay rent again.

Everyone is complaining its been super bad yesterday and today not much better however long you are on. Perhaps SM is glitching? I have had people complain about sound vanishing on shows.

Well, there is a contest today through Friday. Things always get glitchier around contest time. I have noticed a lot of guys getting the "user connection issue" error in free chat.

Holy shit, it's deadsville! I've never had a room on SM, be so damn dead....eeevvveeerrrr. Glitches up the ass. Guys saying they are going to get a show, then just leaving and not coming back. I need to make $400 in 24 hrs.....FUCK.

I had a ton of guys like that last night, and they seemed genuine too. We'd chat for a minute about what they wanted and I'd say "sure, let's go" and then poof, they were gone. Also had a guy who got out of an exclusive block session early (like, enough so that I only got 2 minutes worth of whatever the discounted rate was) because he couldn't figure out how to turn on C2C. I don't know if it was a glitch or if he was just a moron. I don't know what the interface looks like on their end so I can't help them out, but a bunch of stupid horny guys seem to figure it out regularly, so how hard can it be? Grr.
And yeah I feel you on goals... I'm trying to make $1000 by the end of my Friday night shift. I'm screwed. lol.

Holy shit! I've been on cam for 3.5 hours and I've made $31.89 I'm also having similar issues ladies: men are very explicit about how they'd like their show, I agree, and as soon as I ask if they're ready...they disappear. I had one show today with a streaming issue. Thank god he came back and the issue was resolved, but still it's such a pain.
Anyhow, the best part about today is I've been listening to stand up comedy for the last two hours and found a new favorite: Whitney Cummings. I'm so stoked as she's fucking hilarious. Feminist, but insanely funny.
I've stuck to my plan which was to just stay positive and repeat "I attract big spenders". I'm logging off in 2.5 hours as I have a V-Day social event to attend. I'm gonna make the best of this time and keep in mind next week will be much better.

right there- a red flag that they're cheap or scammers/trolls. i'm super careful about potential custies who are demanding from the start.
they're essentially getting free attention and free wank material from you, so be a bit harsher with them- when they see you don't take shit and the bullies/trolls run away like the worthles insects they are.

Girl, I decided to just make enough for gas, groceries, & happy hour. SM has been horribly slow. I decided to just make enough & engage in self-care. I don't need the anxiety.

$23.65 for 5.5 hours. It's been quite the struggle to stay positive. I've got 8 hours planned today. I need to do a mood elevation meditation to keep my cool because my mood is falling fast. I can't even engage in more conversation about a possible show just to have the guy vanish again. Frustrated is putting it lightly LOL. I knew today would be slow, but I was hopeful. If I'm gonna at least complete my hours goal I gotta meditate or I'll log the fuck off LOL.

Dancing is not going to happen for me. I've been trying but I haven't been able to get hired anywhere. I hate Indiana. This state can eat a dick.
Pulling an all nighter tonight. I need to make $300 by tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck ladies, I'm gonna need it. :pray:

I was only able to make it to about 3am. I started to get a headache and my contacts were making my eyes burn. I have lowered my daily/weekly goal, every month for the past 6 months. Now, not only have lowered my daily goal again, but I now have to put in more hours every day to make that minimum. Camming is so bad right now, that I have to work 6+ hours during the day, and another 3+ hours at night. This is absolute bullshit!!! I'm so freaking done with this industry! I'm doing the same things as some of the other girls, and yet i'm not making a damn thing.
I'm 1000% sure now that I will be going back to a vanilla career. I have no desire to work a 9-5, but fuck it! Anything is better than this. :banghead:

Goodness me, this week has been brutal. I took Sunday off to spend with my new fella and I had a feeling I'd have to cam 6 days to make weekly goal. Traffic today is so bizarre and I've been on for 3.5 hours and not made a penny. Not one single penny! I'm putting in 8 hours today...if the rest of the day is anything like this morning I will have to meditate again every hour.
My intention for today was to stay positive, and I have stayed positive on cam this whole time. When my mood did start to drop I got off cam and meditated for 20 minutes to improve mood. I feel better, but goodness me...today will try all my patience I'm sure LOL.
Fuck...someone throw me a damn bone hahahaaaa.
Miss_ShaSha
02-21-2019, 01:55 PM
Daaaaang LOLOL all I can do is laugh. It's been so dead for me M, T, W, & today. 3.5 hrs & only $14. Legit: I'm trying to keep my vibration up. Engaged in gratitude for 5 minutes, listened to binaural beats with subliminal messages focused on LOA, & did a chakra balancing meditation.
But I'm on a break cause there is hardly anyone entering my room. Like 10 min go by & nothing. I'm steady looking to see if I've been disconnected LOLOL.
Well, this might just be one of those weeks where it's super slow. I'm trying different things to hustle...perhaps it'll pay off in the next couple weeks.

I bid on CMD back in 2017, and it was a waste of money and time for me as well. I've had 1 show on there this week.
Also, a reg from MFC found me on SM and did a show. I haven't been able to get a show out of him in months on MFC and yet he can do a show on the site that takes a higher percentage of my earnings. He took me to excl and told me who he was after we started the show. Did a whole 20 minute show, for 70% of what I normally would get out of him. F.M.L.

02-21-2019, 03:51 PM
3 hours and nothing for me so far. Just noticed someone who got a show yesterday left me a bad review on CMD. He was a return customer too and ended his review by saying he still might continue to do shows with me. Huh? No way I will not do a show with him again. #1 he has voices in the background like he’s in a telemarketing office 2) he never speaks and only occasionally types and there always a random whisper to someone. These reviews are not fair to us when we can never explain our end of things. In this case it was a 30 minute show with no direction as to what he wanted and strange office sounds.

So many rude guys which pop in and start asking without any hi Where from,when I said thats Im not a support to answer to endless questions they get mad thats I said the terrible joke,I MUST answer to them yes or no.I imagine that:Where from?YES and baned all in room,I nothing MUST do for free for them and so tired of questions,most guys who buy my shows not talk much even in pvt.
Other thing which upset that when I have a good tipper in room some freelouders run in my chat with orders show closer,shake your tits for me,stand up for me just damn,how dare you scream and order to me when tip nothing and did nothing to me but have attitude that I own something to them lol.And how much they get mad when I got tip for my smile,they think I do nothing and they flood hate at me because they want tits even for 1 gold which they never had to tip so they lurking around while I got a tip and start ruin my good mood.Thats sucks.
