I logged on. It was practically pointless. Sooo not motivating for later today and tomorrow, I think this will be the first time I've missed my goal. It's because I missed Thursday damnit! Argh. At least this should be motivator not to slack off at the beginning of my week...I always cam like mad then, convinced if I wait I wont make money. Turns out I'm right.

I think tonight was just shitty all around. Most of these guys are probably waiting for their paychecks to hit their accounts this morning. I imagine it will be better this weekend. :)

I hope so...but it's looking like I might be retiring from camming again much sooner than I thought, it's looking like my SSI got approved (w/o an appeal!). Keeping fingers crossed but I'll know more if I can manage to get my phone interview in today.

This! LOL I have been thinking this all the time lately. You will have to pry the dildos from my cold dead hands the next time I start banking!

And don't beat yourself up over having to take a break. You could have worked, maybe. You also could have lost in on cam and ended up on reddit! o_O

A sample of my glorious day on cam (only 2 hours so far):

"How many donuts have you eaten today?" (I know it's national donut day, but I'm a curvy model, and the member's screen name is "IChangeMyScreenNameDaily") so, okay...
"I'm ____ (insert my cam name) and I used to have a penis" - fuckin dickwad, the LGBT performers are some of the best out there...not cool
"Oh you're (insert age)....yeah right...about 10 years ago"
"I know you are doing meth off-camera, why don't you just admit it" (um no, never done drugs, drink 2x/week and unless vitamins qualify, I'm sober beyond that)
and, omg "u ever seen a dog lick a girl's pussy" - I know this last one is a minefield here on SW, and trust me, screenshot and report complete for this and all of the above

Holy shit.

And oh yes, to stay on topic, $22 in two hours. Seriously like that e-card "It's Fuck This Shit O'Clock"

I'm logging back tonight and hope the kids are at grad night & not starting shit in the chat room of nice older ladies like me. :)

Camming has sucked for me lately because 1. I am a newbie 2. Tom started and 3. I made a total of $15 on MFC. I have dedicated my free time to researching all I can about MFC, Tips and tricks. I've found some good stuff, I've wrote down all that I can in my little journal. I want to visit other models free chat but i'm not sure how? I just want to get a feel of things and see what it takes to be successful. Hell i'd be happy making $100 for the week instead of $15 lol

Yeah camming sucked today......DOWN SIDE:Tonight was my 1st night back after a 2 year hiatus ( came back for 1 day and then got sick ,NOW Im back back AGAIN SHEESH...YES back+ back lol).......I was pretty uncomfortable, but drank a little to loosen up. I was having technical issues. 1st some guy ( who sat in my room silent for nearly 2 hours) said when he went in voyeur prvt it was completely a blacked out screen he BTW announced this to my open chat room...which didnt matter cause people still stayed in my room BUT the liar came BACK to my room several times being completely silent again*cough*- LOSER-. I dont need the drama, but I WILL continue to take his money if he wants to keep coming back in my room for voyeurs( I am surprised at myself that I didnt just block him, but I may just play some mental games with him too when I get bored ....HE WILL BE BACK HAHA). ANYWAY THEN......towards the end of my shift I found some other software to cam on which was going well THEN, it froze my vid. I HATE the technical side of camming!!!!!!!!.......UP SIDE: A past regular of mine popped in my room.He was actually one of my better regulars too.....money and GOOD reviews with him. Bad tho cause I need to chat with him less.....smh I forget the other people in my room sometimes when regulars come through.
The other UP side is I am a whole lot better than I was 2 years ago at not being as reactive with people in my room ( YES growth:)
It just goes to show I am better with PEOPLE in general. ( YES sometimes in my head I imagine myself pimp slapping them while I react calmly LOL)...... OK RANT OVER. lol. Camming SUCKED. Good night.

Actually, it does.

If you are on SM, there are plenty of white label sites picking up your feed on their adult dating sites. It's truly unfortunate IMO but it's not 100% the guys' fault, though I'd think they'd get a clue once they got to an effing' cam chat. But hope springs eternal. :)

I'm not having a great week camming either; I had a sixteen year old come into my room and tell me they're sixteen after they've taken my private and I took off my shirt, I reported them, I had a guy tell me because I'm an aspie and a camgirl, I turned him into a pedophile, I don't get that logic, and my checks still haven't come from either chaturbate or streamate and I owe rent. Sorry for whining, but I can't really talk to my friends who don't cam about this because they tend to say mean shit.

Marina Starr
06-09-2013, 07:52 PM
Will this be your first check from Streamate? If so, be sure to message them to put you on weekly paid so you won't have to wait 3 weeks for your first check. Don't be sorry, you can vent and whine in here all you want!

Ugh Time Warner just bought Insight (my old internet provider) it switched over last night and I could not log on for hours I finally got frustrated and shut the whole thing down I hope it's not like this often cause it's already messing with my money and they switched over a little over 12 hours now.

Okayyyyy I'm getting reallllly super frustrated! I do my best, I know I look sexy. I know I'm a natural. Not to sound cocky, I'm not the hottest thing online, but I am sexy, and I am a beautiful, sensual person. I am getting sooo frustrated on MFC. I have not been making JACK SH#$ lately. 15 guys in my room is a lot for me. And my cam score is down to the 400s after tonight. I'm so ready to give up. I think there is potential there, but I don't know how ppl can stand sitting there for 45 minutes with barely anyone talking to you and talking on your own and nobody responds. I've done some trial and error and it seems it does not get better for me. Granted I have only been on there probably seven or eight times, but I don't know how anyone can stand to go on there when like me, every single time the cam score goes down and down and down. Ughhhh, I'm so pissed and I'm sorry for this rant. I have a lot of respect for you girls for doing this, for perservering, and for making $$$s. Tonight is just not my night. I'm ready to RIP my pigtails out!!! :(

I was on SM last night and made a whopping $11.31 in an hour and a half. I was so annoyed with people trying to get stuff for free that I just signed off early. Like 3 people tried to bargain with me to have me flash my tits for 3 gold instead of 5.....I just flipped them off. Lol.

It's a fetish to lie and say you're underage. I just ban hammer anyone who says it, but just so you know lots of peeps running around saying they're 16 aren't 16. And lots of underage kids with daddies credit card lie their ass of because they don't want to get caught.

I had a pretty good first day with the widescreen on SM, but last night and today were so terrible. I made just a little over nada. It seems like I was liking all the extra people in my room while using widescreen and the encoder, but now I'm seeing only MORE cheap ass holes hanging around. Bad enough that I've recognized the need to get an old at-home phone job back that I fucking hate. I gotta make money somewhere, and when I'm in a funk like this, I just can't do it. Grumble, grumble... I'm going to do camming part time again and try to bring in the rent elsewhere. I love the good days, but the bad days have been hard for me to fight and pick myself up from... I hope everyone else is doing well :hug:

The reason I think they're being honest is because of my niche. I'm a (comparatively) young big girl with a baby face. Most of the women in my category are at least 25, I'm an SSBBW who's 20. So, who do you run to, someone older who 'omg doesn't rmbr wht it's like' or someone my age?

I agree, much more freeloaders with the widescreen settings.

Nina_Den
06-11-2013, 12:34 PM
Damn, the amount of freeloaders on SM is unbelievable.

Goof traffic. They go in. Shamelessly trying to freeload after striking a short conversation (or either go in the room, see I'm not nude (whoa! not nude in free chat!) and leave after 1.5 seconds).

I don't even get, why do all of them add me to their favorites? Do they hope I'll do something for free next time?

Sorry, JAC, I feel your pain. This week has been craaazy slow for me too. I may have a room full of freeloaders or dudes talking about how sexy and awesome I am but no one's really taking me PVT on SM no matter what I do. I know I'm hot, I know I can entertain, but I guess I can close a sell worth a damn. It really sucks and is discouraging. Especially when I see other girls constantly in PVT or meeting a $300 GS in minutes over and over again.

I hope the weekend turns things around for the both of us :)

I'm having a really rough week as well. First week that school has been out and I switched to nights...I'm not sure if I'm struggling because of switching my time slot or because it's just horribly slow! I'm barely pulling in $10 an hour this week! My placement is on the 2nd page since I'm not usually on at this time, so that could be hurting me a lot. Ugh...so frustrating when you aren't pulling in much money for your time and effort :(

I mean just today some guy on SM comes to my room and asks me to drop my rate and he will go to pvt.. and I said I am NOT desperate sorry will not do so. so he left.. but seriously?? I have money quite alot saved up and what not so i am NOT desperate.. the only thing i am desperate for is because i am FUCKING BORED AS SHIT! LOL

I'm also a newbie (and I noticed that you are always on the first row of the new girls page, which is already great by itself) and I mostly get tons and tons of "_____ has logged in" followed by a "_____ has logged off", so I don't care about the amount of guys I have in my room at a certain point. Naturally, I just care about paying traffic, and unfortunately these guys are much more rare than the "show tits bb" bunch. But they still come in, and when they do come in they know what they're looking for, and for this I am happy.
