I havent had a Sunday this bad in months, including during football season. I can always bank on making at least my low goal on a Sunday....today? 4 hours on, $13. NOT how i wanted to start my week.

I've been experiencing similar. Sundays are usually so fuckin busy for me, like shows back to back. I got two shows within 15 min of logging on earning $34 and I was stoked. Then traffic was non-existent. Seriously, like 15-20 min would go by and not a soul in my room. I was thinking my stream kept disconnecting LOL for like 5 hours. It's been like this for almost a whole week. Weird.

Well, this week I've been suspended from AW and now SM is literally a ghost town. At the moment, camming fucking SUCKS.
I got banned from there ages ago for using a VPN, but I was using it for other sites, but they are the only ones who cared. I think I can go back in now, but I don't care. The guy was an asshole to me via e-mail.
Why did they ban you?

They said I used a profile picture on other sites/other places on the internet, when the rule is that they have to be 100% unique to AW, but I didn't do this, precisely because they're so anal about it. They've not shown me proof and I have to wait until the 6th when they'll tell me their final decision about what they do with me. I feel so humiliated.

GIRL don't let these assholes treat you like that!! They have no right to spy on you like that. So what if you really have other cam profiles?! Not every girl is making enough on ONE website (with often shitty traffic) to pay off her bills...it takes at least 2-4 websites for many of us. These "dOnT u DaRe WoRkInG fOr OtHeR sItEs We OwN yOu" is total banal to me. NO sites should be allowed to have such a bullshit rule. That's the reason why I don't work on such sites. Such controlling people should be broke and not own a website!! Let a hoe hustle from multiple sources...Dammit.

Well I took a step back from camming for quite a while and only logged on as/when I felt like it. Some days are great but I've gotta say that the majority of days suck big hairy balls and that's with my regs still being around.
February is notoriously bad though so hopefully it picks up next month.

They are PIMPS. When I realized that soooo many pimps run cam sites, that freaked me out. I wanted to start my own, but I knew getting it all set up & the guys & girls to come over would be too exhausting, not to mention VERY expensive to make sure the software doesn't have all the glitches like SM has.

Wow, I didn't even know that was a rule. TERRIBLE.
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 !
ISPs are TERRIBLE. The monopoly & how they can charge WHEVER they want & get away with it is TERRIBLE.
And you are right, we need MORE nice people in this world. Hugs
Ah! I havent went on SM in weeks, I didnt know they were doing that
You know you can lump all of your responses into one reply like I'm doing now right? LOL I saw you replied to like 5 different comments one after another.
Just click on the comment bubble on the bottom right of the comment to the right of the "Reply With Quote." Then when you are done hitting all of those, on the left is the BIG "Reply to Thread" button. Hit that.
Then just respond after every "end quote"
Then the final step is to hit the small purple "Post Quick Reply" button on the bottom.

You can cam from as many websites as you like, Adultwork has no problem with this. The rule is that your main three profile photos on your Adultwork page, need to be unique to Adultwork and not be used elsewhere online. That's all.

Today is my day off, but I don't have anything to do until 7pm with my SO, so I thought I'd be on cam and make some money. Holy shit LOL not one show in 3.8 hrs. Legit, I think my listing must be broke. Hahahaaa
Good news is I qualified for a line of credit to furnish my place. I've been online shopping for the last 3 hours. So I guess it's not a big deal, but damn it'd be nice to earn some cash while I shop too.
I'm gonna STFO tho until 6pm, so 3 more hours, and if I make low goal I'll be happy cause it'll be cash I wouldn't have made at all.

Yeah, that is true, and that is why I never use them in other sites. However I didn't do it? And they won't show me proof of it so I really don't know what to do. How do you protect yourself against it being stolen and used elsewhere? I tried to find that image online but I couldn't find it.

I'm really tired of guys coming into my room when they're at work. They just sit there and stare or try to get to know me. They talk about getting a show, knowing that they won't. I seriously and genuinely, don't give a fuck about any of these losers. I don't want to talk about myself. I don't want to hear about you or your life. I don't want to get to know you and become friends. I'm here for money! Either spend money on me or get lost.

No.
This is probably why camming during the day sucks for me.
Camming at night = Get in a show, get off, get on with your night.

Man, Tues Wed & Thurs were absolutely wretched income wise. And it's been so slow that on Wed I was on for 7 hrs and not one cent. That's right...$0.00 Then Thurs I made $12 in 4 hours. Today I've been on for 3 hrs and not one cent.
I am trying to remain as positive as possible. I'm remembering what I'm grateful for. I'm repeating abundance affirmations. None of it is helping. I think this is just a bad week. I will start fresh next week in my new place with better internet and privacy.
I guess I can't have it all at one time. I do have health in abundance, an emotionally available man, great new girlfriends, and this new place plus the ability to furnish it. If I look at the bigger picture I'm doing well. Like Cutie said, it's better to look at the monthly goal rather than the weekly goal. I think I'll do that this month.

Camming doesn't sucks, but it sucks having to work when a flu is building up and right now my nose is running so often...I have to run behind to use tissues then come back all the time, thus I make lesser money. Oh and many annoying pricks asking if I'm crying cuz they hear me sniff a few times...I hate beign a low income camgirl, I hope through split cam that I'll be able to take days off again. Not having a weekend sucks. Not having vacations sucks. And not having enough money at the end of the month despite working 6-7 days a week sucks balls. I want a change, NOW.

This is why I love being a domme/dominant/findom or maybe I'm just a "bitch". Either way I pull no punches when guys do those things. I use to be nice about it but at some point I just got annoyed with them wasting my time and put an end to it.
If they tell me they're at work and can't do a show I tell them something along of:
So what, what does that have to do with spending on me? You have no problem being in here right now so you shouldn't have a problem going pvt. Since you're in here right now that means you want to jerk your cock to me while you're at work doesn't it? If they still refuse to go pvt I tell them if you really can't go pvt then there's no reason why you can't hit that gold button.
If they tell me they stopped by to say hi I laugh and tell them "No you didn't. There's none of that here. You stopped by to spend and jerk. Isn't that right?".
When I get stern/short with them they either leave/run away, mouth off, go pvt, tip gold or go pvt and tip gold. If they mouth off I just ignore them because they aren't getting free humiliation nor will I allow them to ruffle my feathers. Yawl have no idea how many guys I've been able to turn into spenders from being a "bitch"/stern.
Regardless of what way they try to waste my time or try to get my attention for free I always keep it short and straight to the point but the kicker is I keep a smile on my face, act flirty and sexy and look dead at the camera so that its like I'm looking them right in the eye. I don't know why but alot of these guys love when you tell them what they're gonna do or "when you put them in their place". I think the fact that I smile, act sensual and look at the camera is what ultimately cripples them and makes them submit. It's like I'm an assertive sour patch kid and they can't refuse a taste, lmao.

Sorry you're having a bad time, but I hope you're filming clips while you're sick! Nose blowing, sneezing, coughing, etc. all sell on C4S. One of my top selling clips ever is a video of me coughing my brains out wearing a sexy outfit. It's nasty but hey, the passive income is great.

Today I managed to stay on three hours, made $15 and just omg I have no idea how you guys do it for hours and hours at a time. I'm on page 4 and/or 5 and I know that I have to stay on to get my positioning back up. I took time off, I am no longer a "new model" so have to hustle it to move but when you are making 0 to pennies for your time. Ugh. Just ugh.

Also my laptop crashed in the middle of one of these convos, and despite how much this guy claims to love me he left me a lovely one star :-)

I've been burned so many times by regular customers that I have realized no one "loves" me. I'm not anyone's "#1." I am as replaceable as a throw away fast food bag. I use them as much as they use me. Regardless of how I think of myself or view myself - our customers/clients/fans are all seeking 1 thing and once that 1 thing is no longer needed or provided for under their terms, they are gone. Shiny penny syndrome.
I really hope for that one shit customer, you get at least ten pleasant customers. **hugs**

They all got blocked.
Secondly, guys that come in to announce they just got off work but are not spending. Get the fuck off the site.

The in and outs have been an issue for the longest. I remember that I copied and pasted my SM chat into here. It was about 5 minutes of chat with nothing but in and outs. So many of the ladies on here were astonished. They were all, "Maybe your connection was lost." Sadly, the in and outs have become the new norm.

I guess it wasn't so much a scam as stupidity on my part as I broke one of the cardinal camming rules which is to actually check that he in fact paid smh. So really if he hadn't ended up making good I would have had no one to blame but myself.

Camming doesnt sucks. But just wanted to say i had my first night on cam (non nf cam) for the first time in two years. I only cammed on stripchat for about two hours, no privates or anything just tips and only got 229 tokens at $0.04. So I made about $9 in two hours. Now considering i can normally make that in 9 minutes on nf it pales in comparison. But still i thought I would get 0 tokens because of my size and looks. But i actually got alot of compliments and people thinking im pretty.
The only down fall sitting on the floor for as long as i did caused my sciatica nerve to get oinch and therefore my left leg to go numb and be in horrible pain and i had a limp for three hours afterwards. So i need to figure out a way to cam from the bed.

Today feels like some fucking weird ass PUNKED episode. I've been on page 1 on SM for 8 fucking hours and legit...one private and one gold tip. I'm like where the fuck is the candid camera cause this seriously has got to be the biggest joke ever.
My intent was to stay positive today, but damn...I gotta take a break and meditate or some shit cause this Twilight Zone episode is just way tooooo fuckin long. Hahahaaaa There's all kinds of traffic but they come in and go right back out.
I'm putting this one down for the record LOL.
