Dealing with a guy right now who took 15 minutes to send payment and after I got it said he needs an additional 10 minutes to get ready. In the mean time he sent me a novel about all the specifics of his role play idea to read and study and be prepared for....40 minutes later and he’s still getting ready. I want to be busy with guys lined up for shows so I can not be so annoyed. I can say “Fuck you” and move on with my work and clients who actually appreciate our time.

Me neither because your bad day can be my good day and vice versa
Yeah, I never let it discourage me if I read it's gonna be bad on here, because really, in this job you never know. For example, my two best months in the last 6 months have been January, which tends to be bad for everybody, and April, because I worked it very hard. It's just the way it goes.

Been an awful week so far. Each day is a ghost town and I occupy myself with other things. Even on mothers day. These lurker bitches don't deserve their mothers. Do their mothers know what failures they are? I plan to not show my head anymore for a few days until these boys start tiping well again. Like, they all ain't deserving my pretty dolled up face when all they can give me is nothing but lurking and time wasting. Even my regulars pretend to have accidents or urgent family stuff and leave me hanging. All at the same time.
Dear men: Fuck you!!!! Yall ain't deserving a pretty goddess like me!

You should charge extra for all the time he's wasting (since you're actively waiting for him), and also the extra time it takes for you to read and prepare for his fetish.
I imagine any contractor in another industry would invoice their client for all that time - no reason why you shouldn't either.

That’s my thought, but how can I enforce that? He didn’t tell me it was going to take all that time for him to prepare and that I would receive a role play script to study until after he paid. I will have to add a disclaimer to my profile that I charge extra for waiting and prep time. Situations like this are better for me when it’s PPM. A lot of guys have an expectation that this is free or included with purchase. I always tell guys on SM that I will not read role play scenario’s or change outfits unless they are in private.

So I ended up making my low goal today. I was at a whole $25 for most of my shift, then back to back shows for the final 2 hours. I can't even celebrate because of the emotional rollercoaster that I've been on. Monday was good, Tuesday was trash, and both Wednesday and today we're dead for 75% of my shift, then I barely make my goal at the last minute.
The last few days have been nothing but me experiencing overwhelming amounts of depression and anxiety. Today was so slow that I was almost in tears. I really think that I need some sort of therapy and antidepressants, but I don't have health insurance anymore. I'm about to just scream into a pillow for a few minutes. :banghead:

I posted this in the SM Venting thread, but I tried SMCONNECT earlier and was there for 27 minutes in silence. It was my first time trying it and I got nothing. I switched back to SMB and still nothing. I was asked to perform for free and to lower my rates.
Then I was contacted by 2 guys on Indy. One was an obvious free loader trying to get free chat time. The other is a guy who sometimes gets shows but as of recently he doesn’t follow through with payment.

That’s what I meant when I said I wish I had guys lined up, but it was slow and I didn’t. I did tell this guy that at any time someone could take me away.

Hello,
I am a small BBW and wondering whether there's a market for me? How is chaturbate or any other sites?
Thanks for the feedback.

Hello,
I am a small BBW and wondering whether there's a market for me? How is chaturbate or any other sites?
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, take a look at any of the major camsites....Streamate, Chaturbate, Imlive, etc. Every chick is not thin/skinny/slim. The beauty of camming is that we do not have to fit the stereotypical/marginalized beauty standards or fit societal norms. There is literally a market/niche for everything and everyone. Thin, skinny, athletic, slim thick, curvy, body builder, small BBW, mid BBW, large BBW, black, white, asian, hispanic/latino, american, canadian, international, straight/gay/les/bi, female/male/trans, non-nude, semi-nude, nude, extreme toys, submissive, dominant, a switch, typical everyday/vanilla chick, bougie/high class/rich girl, gothic, nerd/geek, hippie, hipster, etc.
You can pretty much make your own market/niche, I know I have. I went from being a camgirl who wore the typical camgirl attire who did typical vanilla, nude, toys/masturbation shows to a camgirl who wears whatever the fuck I want (literally I'll hop on cam with no makeup wearing a tank top and leggings) who strictly/only does non-nude, teasing, domination/sensual domination/financial domination and I'm also a dark-skin black woman who has locs and is slim thick. Whoever you're as a person you can make that into a niche/market and have and be your own brand.
We can't tell you what site is best you have to try them out for yourself. Many of us work or have worked on multiple sites and many also do more than just camming. Many do camming/split-camming, marketing, clips/videos, phonesex, texting and a membership site either through their own website (which many setup themselves) or through sites like Onlyfans, Patreon, Iwantfanclub.
There are threads sticked to the front page and there are also tons of current and dated/old threads on here that provide tons of helpful info, all you have to do is search for them (How to do a search on Stripperweb (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?169932-How-to-do-a-search-on-Stripperweb&highlight=search)) and read them.

That is absolutely disgusting. I hate those types of request as well. Although that wasn't really an age play request but more like a sick person wanting to make you uncomfortable. Like seriously these guys know which models they should approach with that crap. But no they'd rather push themselves on people who don't want to cater to them.
I got a report on that screenshot and I don't want anyone else to get upset. Therefore I removed it. I'm really sorry that happened to you.

Maybe just take a break and try again in a few hours? That guy wasn't trying to spend money. He wanted to shock you and ruin your day. I say don't give these fools the power to affect your money. But I'm pretty stubborn. I smile and block at the same time.

Yeah, I am the niceness queen, and when people piss me off I just go "Mmmm no... I am not gonna do that, and you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna block you cause you're being very very rude and we don't do things like that in my room. Bye!", and I do it all with a smile and move on.
However, sometimes people do get to you, being it because you're in that sensitive headspace, being because they're being specially abusive. Respect that and take time to heal yourself. No job should be more important than your mental health (and since mental health affects your physical health too, this is extra important). Look after yourself <3 x

I didnt see the initial screenshot/question but I had a similar reaction to several requests in my own free chat... All I have to say is that I got really overwhelmed by all the taboo requests on Streamate last night. It was like all my traffic was being advertised from the same fucked up place. It really weighed on me after a four hour shift of barely getting any reasonable/vanilla requests and getting like 90% taboo/illegal/really nasty requests. I blocked like 20 people last night. That doesn't normally happen in my room at all, let alone to that extent.

For sure. Although I hesitate to write "NO _____" [anything] on my profiles, because whenever someone searches for that word, your profile would presumably show up. And we all know 90% of guys don't bother reading the details of your profile to realize it's something you *don't* offer.
This happened on SM when I wrote "No Anal / No Squirting" on my bio for a brief period. I got tons of guys who said they found me because they specifically searched the word "anal" or "squirting." So I took it off, and now I just let guys ask in free chat and I let them know what I do and don't do.
The last thing I want to do is attract more taboo guys the same way, by writing "NO AGE PLAY" or "NO INCEST" or whatever, directly on my profile, and thus having it be a searchable term.

Its not just you, its allot of us. Summer slow down is coming and it may be a bit slower in the next few months then it already is. I watch allot of cam girls just to see what is so different then my room and allot of them are struggling as well. I'm not a top girl , however I make enough to scrap by. I would suggest try camming in different rooms of your house ( I cam in my kitchen a few times a week) I think the guys get tired of seeing us in the same old place all of the time, its gets boring for them and us. Good luck!

SM had SUCH BAD FUCKUPS the last time I worked. But-KourtneyKay, you'll be proud-I thought, what would KK do? So, I signed up for literally every other website that offered daily pay-even two that didn't-and spent three hours filming content for some of them. I should be ready to go on each and every one by Monday, which is also when this nootropic antidepressant that's worked wonders for me gets delivered. 7 am tomorrow to 7 am Sunday, I won't really be able to cam cuz I'm getting together with my best friend-maybe if he can sleep and I can't? As for tonight, I'm gonna give myself an hour to fix the SM glitch to whatever extent I can from my end, then, will just hop on a different site. If there's LITERALLY no one, maybe film another hour or two of content. Same goes for Sunday. Monday, though-I'll be undepressed, sociable, and-hopefully-splitcamming and making up for that unpleasant surprise earlier in the week. It pisses me off more when it's a glitch vs. just slow, cuz at least when it's slow I'll still always make SOMETHING.....With glitches, you could look gorgeous, have a perfect room setvup, be friendly-but it doesn't matter.
