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.
was like that for me yesterday, after a solid week and a half of good days, i knew my streak had to end. SM, and camming in general, was a nightmare for me today. Only thing thats saved my day today was a long exclusive from one dude and waking up to a $50 tip this morning

^^Thank you for the support! I have taken a very long break where I got some fresh air and listened to The Power of Intention. I really appreciate you chiming in so I don't feel so alone. I've worked so hard to make myself seen on SM and when it appears I'm going unnoticed I start on a downward spiral. I'm going to put 4 more hours in for a total of 12 hours today. If you can...please send me good vibes.

Been so weird lately on Chaturbate, I make more on MFC which is weird cuz Chaturbate is my main site but it's been so dead lately. I often get my first tokens after 2-3 hours...lolwhut
So either my career is officially dying OR my new outfits are too revealing on cam...help

I can confirm it sucked so far. All the March. I rarely post here, I'm usually a faithful person, that everything will fall in place by the end of the month. And I still am!
But it's been... woah...crazy slow!

I agree this March has been horrible so far! Worst earning month in my entire cam career...I can't keep up with my bills despite split camming!! I'm asking myself, what exactly is wrong???? The men literally sit there not talking not spending...Do they not want to spend or are they all broke?? Idk anymore

I concur. It is slower. I'm still doing well but I'm making just about 33% less this week so far. My monthly average is down 20% from my average. Keep on keeping on!

Listen, camming NEVER sucks. Look at the perks.
1. You never leave home
2. You are your OWN BOSS
3. You can kick out annoying people
4. You get to wear what you want, do your makeup how you want
5. Slow nights happen, use them to just chat and be cool with people. They might fave you! Let your personality show on those nights. Talk music, movies, your degrees, anything to show you are a "real" person. As a PSO I can tell you men love REAL women. The idea of a REAL woman not a fake woman just asking for money, getting turned on for them gets them going. Even a dom can small talk. Just say, it's slow so I'll talk to you losers, it's your lucky day, so ask Miss XXX whatever you desire, maybe I'll answer.
I mean, you can always work for barely min/wage at a job you have to drive to and waste gas and be tired and exposed to peoples germs. You can't take sick days. I have depression and anxiety. I took yesterday off.
Camming never really sucks.
On slow nights I point out how slow it is, and I still stay upbeat. I want people to think I'm there because I am a sexual nympho who masturbates all day so I decided to cam and I LOVE dominating sissies. I don't want people to see me upset because I'm not making money. You can always demand tips for "stand BB" lol we always get those guys.

Look at what the fuck i found, i stumble across this little jewel when i was searching google on “how to see performers prices on streamate.” reading this really made me want to throw up.

You should read some of his stuff, how he actively advise to find new cam models becuase they dont know better to charge more and therefore allowing cheappppp cam shows.
Im now digusted and still dont know how to see the girls prices. I may be a girl but i like pussy too. ::)}:D

I had several men telling me they were looking for new cam models. They were also asking for "Stand" blah blah.
I laughed and said....I've been on this site before, it says New but I'm not, you tip for standing. They left.
Yes, new models on there are ignorant and it takes getting burned to learn that everything costs.
A lot of men still want to spend a lot for good quality. The cheapies can get cheapie shows. My cheapie shows are mostly talking and omg a nipple.
I logged into an account and can't see my prices if I were a customer.
I like how it says we want front page and we get there by being cheap LOL. No. Not even close.

Giiiiirl, hahahaaaa after reading that I said a "can I get an amen?" "yes, yes hallelujah!" & "WORD". I've been putting in about 10 hours a day on cam lately and my mood dips, but this attitude right here is what keeps a fleeting emotional moment from becoming a mood.
THANKS!!!

I get what you're saying, however, this is the "Camming sucks" thread. We come on this thread to bitch, complain and talk about our bad days. Tbh, I'm really tired of people coming on this thread, and saying that "Camming never sucks". Girl bye, yes it does. You talk about slow nights and annoying people, like those are the only negatives to this job. It runs deeper than that hun.
I'm all for uplifting others, but this thread was not made so that people could just come on here and tell others that their negative feelings or complaints about something, are not justified. Maybe try the "Camming rocks" thread.

People always take offense now.
If it sucks for some then that is how they feel.
It is better than a lot of ways to make money.

Lmao. Girl, no one was "offended" by your post. You came on a thread made for complaining and told people that they were wrong to complain. Your post wasn't offensive, it was rude.
Now you're saying, "If it sucks for some then that is how they feel"? So, your original post was pointless then.

Second this.....we all need a place to vent, and since many of us are isolated, socially, due to the long hours and stay-at-home-nature of the job....this thread is important. And, regardless of what anyone may think, we ALL have shit days throughout the week. Sometimes quite a few (my week has SUCKED). So...yeah. Camming DOES suck sometimes.

Also, back on track: camming fucking sucks today. All week really, the only decent days ive had were Sunday and Tuesday, other than that its been pennies....been on 3 hours so far today and made $1 lol

I can agree with this. Sometimes it does suck due to factors not related to it being slow. For the past two days I've been postponing pre-purchased shows with two customers. My head is in a different place and I just don't feel like doing it. But I love money therefore today I will suck it up and get on cam to do the shows. Otherwise I'd have to refund their money. It can suck for lots of different reasons.
BTW I accidentally messed up the original post. My appologies. I thought I was quoting the post but instead I was in edit mode.

It's definitely slowed. The admin is working on pitching an advertising bid to boost new traffic. 2 weeks ago I only have 1 5 min show from there. :( It's gotten better though!

THIS!!! Ive only been working 2-4 hours a shift with 3 to 4 days off a week. My mind and energy is on other things right now. I got a large picture package to do today. Then this week people have cashed in their prepaid shows and I was like ARGH. It's already slow I need new money not old money!

This is why I don’t allow pre paid shows. I get upset when they talk to me then purchase and say they’ll come back later to redeem. I can’t promise I’ll be online “later”.

yes, seems like if we have one good week, is like predicting the next one is gonna be slow or have less earnings. One week is great, the next one is bad. That have happened to me some times. Just a personal experiencie. For me was the opposite. Past week was slow for me and this one is much better. Jumm.

I noticed that.. My last SM paycheck was double what the next one is.. I think it's because some people get paid biweekly and most people do not keep a budget to evenly have money to spend all month long.. That is why people stay poor.. Once they get a check they spend it all as fast as they can and t hen have nothing barely left til next paycheck.. I used to be like that also when I was younger.

I hear you loud and clear. I keep thinking "work on your sales pitch, Sha. You'll pull 'em in with that pitch." but that shit doesn't work as often as I'd like. I feel as though my pitch is so sub-par. I'm seriously needing and overhaul. I mean...rebuttals and shit LOL. I used to be a killer sales girl in my 20s and now: fuck my shit needs work or something.
Girl, I feel like I'm begging too sometimes and when they leave I feel so deflated like WTF went wrong. But half the time they aren't even turning us down, they're just not sure about what they really want. These men are lost and we can't save all these Neverland boys LOL.

Yes they are so useless smh...I literally sit there with the most expensive luxury lingerie, all dolled up, even I find myself more attractive on cam than without make up in real life! I tease, I smile, I chat....Yet...they ignore me...are broke...or don't know wtf they want...It's definitely not us!! So many girls complain these days, it's sad. I wish more good spenders for all of us, nobody deserves to be ignored on cam these days :( We are worth more than that! I hate to receive my first tokens in 2-3 hours...Feels like a waste of time tbh.
But I'm staying strong cuz every time it was this slow, better times came! I know this is just a phase! The big spenders are busy making money now, or busy with family/friends. They WILL be back and heck will we bank like crazy then!

And before anyone says anything negative haha, I dont peek to judge. I peek to take notes, gain tips and try to utilize a bit of their sales tactics. I look up to them. Ugh I wish we all could just get a piece of the pie daily instead of spending some days crying.

I went with my son yesterday to do Uber Eats deliveries.. He worked 5 hours in a 2 day period for $100 and no one called him names or treated him badly or even asked him if he enjoys his job and deserved to be paid.. It was so easy! it was quite a revelation!.. I think i'll take it up some this year myself after we get a 2nd car.

No , that's just how much he made for the 5 hours he worked.. And he got a $20 bonus for completing 10 trips.. he doesn't know the area as well and such so I have been going with him for a few hours to help him out a bit til he gets used to it.. but I was just like WOW! because I have been solely doing camming only for 16 yrs and I will say camming sure does beat you down.. and last Monday I only made $9.50 an hour.. literally j ust makes me sick to think my son is making more per hour just delivering food with minimal hassle.... so far so good.
