I don't check camming rocks, it never rocked for me when I do, LOL.
This is actually a thing for me lol. I love camming rocks but when I want to pump myself up for a good shift I actually check camming sucks a whole lot more. I feel guilty for saying it but it challenges me.

Camming rocks also depresses me bad. All these girls making a grand or more in a day. Or those saying they only made $600 and here I am practically on my hands and knees in tears begging for $1.00.
It makes me feel like something is wrong with me.

Definitely nothing wrong with you. I know these words don't put money in your pocket but every cam girl has asked the "why not me?" question. Every. So don't take it to heart. Easier said than done but seriously. You're not somehow unworthy of good nights.

I only look at camming rocks when I'm doing well myself. When I'm having bad days I refresh this page over and over hoping I'm not the only one. Or to see if it's a good day for all and not just me. Usually on the days I bank it's quieter here so I am hoping we're all making money

I need to pull a camathon these next 48 hours or really bad things are going to happen come Friday. I'm going to assume Sunday nights suck though? Ugh. I'm thinking I should just go lay in bed and then get up at like 7 or 8 am, pour some coffee and hop on for the entire day, break for dinner, watch my tv show and then get back on for Monday night in to Tuesday till I collapse come sometime late in to Tuesday night since I have to drive Wednesday late morning. SM has to freaking produce for me if I'm doing that instead of a whole $5 bucks every three days. Sigh. I'm just thinking Sunday nights are probably the worst. I dunno. I'm mentally in a really bad place.

Worst Sunday on cam ever!
It even beat Sundays in August. The traffic was insanely busy, but no spenders.
Only guys asking dumb questions, like " Do I consider myself competitive?" And, "What's my ethenticity?", Etc.
Nothing that has to do with getting them off.
Or, new customers asking for a certain type of show, then leaving when I say yes.:-\
I finally had to cam from my car, which always gets them to spend. But, as soon as they did, I lost connection.:(
Sunday's are usually my best day.
That weird client that I saw last week has been blowing up my phone.
I'm going to see him.
A quick $1000 will save the week.
Because My sanity and patience are already gone.
^^^ Yea, a very bad sunday OMG, i said i wont cam on sunday anymore but i went out and got tired and had a 3 hrs nap in the evening then i woke up and had nothing else to do as it was nite time here already so i got ready for work.
I made some money but not enough to be satisfied, oh well, at least i made something.
For me business did not pick up yet, its still pretty slow, maybe starting october will get better?! Hope so!

in my case, counter-intuitive camming strategies are working best too.

Its all in the position and in the knees. Bent over with something to hold on to (chair, couch back, desk) and switch your weight to each of your knees back and forth. I prefer to be on my knees slightly bent over and the jiggles flow.

I just updated my photos and listings on NF. About to raise from $2.99 to $3.99 on my cam listings on NF cause I'm pissed. Makes sense since I'm getting no calls? Right? No. But I liked the math. Would only need to cam on that site for 37 mins a day compared to 50 mins. Well 37 mins a day period as that would make my daily goal across the boards. But yet calls are barely coming in on there...... some days I get none.... but still. I'm pissed.
CMD and SM has been crickets but here I am sitting.....

I logged off. Like I said in SM vent thread, as soon as the bitrate started to go yellow my traffic has gone. I only had a few guys enter my room for the last two hours. SM can choke on my strap-on. I'm done.
Hope it gets better for you.

Me too, I am outta here. Leaving my 10 inch black strapon at the strapon party too, so sm can have a choice. Or maybe they want the double diddy. They can share it with all the cheapskates I've witnessed today. I blocked them all though. No money - no mercy.

It appears the same for me. Bitrate is teetering between yellow and red. I hardly have anyone coming in. This doesn't look good. I just took 5 days off LOL. Damn, it's gonna be a long ass shift. Thanks. I'll STFO, but GD!!!

Dude, camming royally sucks!!! I've been gone from SM 5 days and the welcome I get is 6 regulars saying "hi" then ghosting.
Plus my cam keeps disconnecting, my bitrate keeps dropping into yellow and red, and I have hardly any traffic. FUCK, I'm usually positive but this is just ridiculous.
I need to take a GD break and meditate cause I'm fuckin livid. WWWHHHYYYY?!?!

This day is even worse than yesterday. 5 hours and nothing. In and outs. I feel a bit desperate. I checked some of my fav models. They too, struggle in free. And keep logging off. Than back... and nothing. So it s not just me I guess.
I expected something like this... but still i dont understand how such thing can happen. I start to think, it wont pick up after the "summer slowness".
With more and more girl coming into those studios, starting in expensive rooms "perfectly done" and "educated" with 0 experience, thousand of photos, videos and what not every week, showing more and more in free... now members dont need to take models into pvt anymore to get attention, or to get a show, coz it became natural that they are pleased all the way in free chat. So ... i think it ll just get worse and not better. Maybe it ll get worse faster than I imagined. I dont know.

I know I have issues getting up in the morning but this is ridiculous. I really rather make my money during day light hours anyways though I know that has its set of challenges to.

I too have been having issues with the SMconnect, it keeps flucuating between red & yellow. Dunno why. this airbnb has awesome wifi. I really wish it would pick up asap! I'm honestly thinking of crashing out now & waking up to cam ALL day tm to make up for this mess.

Okay I think I need to call it. I stayed on and pushed and I was rewarded with a generous tipper. My first ever. But my dog just walked out of my closet and I almost had a heart attack so I'm starting to hallucinate because out of the corner of my eye, it didnt look like a dog walking out of the closet.
I will say it fucking sucks when you see that beautiful gold of $50 in front of your face and you only get a whooping $15 bucks out it. Talk about mood killer. But still ever so grateful.

Disgusting fucker. You have to understand that it is not your fault or to feel bad about it. We get all of the fuckin creeps and their nastyest darkest toughts; they express them online to us because they can. Under the cover of a nickname. Just like those fucking stupid asshole on fb aswell. Everybody can say anything from behind a keyboard. Let's pray this guy never acts in real life on his sick fantasies.
On another note: what HAPPENS in the last few days? WTF it is so dead to me.

I am putting in some damn good effort here. I'm logging in during scheduled time and putting in the hours.
I smiled, even beamed, and was conversational with members who said hello. But FUCK...today really sucked in the income department. Yesterday was bad incomewise, and today was only a little bit better. When will the summer slow down stop? It's gotta pick up real soon. This is enough to throw me into a depression. Geez...I can't stop shaking my head.

MFC has been crappy for me lately. usually I can knock out at least one goal but have been STRUGGLING lately. I feel like MFC is a platform where you want to be public the whole time, accumulate new fans, and get some potential whales. I don't like taking privates, I'll only go private if it's really really dead and I'm desperate for tokens. Has it been bad for anyone else?

Its the top of the line one that SM suggests. Its a brand new Dell Precision M4800 with a Core i7 - 4900MQ 2.8 GHz and 256 GB storage. My internet speed is hardwired in and upload and download of over 100mps.
I also use SMC and have the priority placement banner.

I don't think it's your computer and if everything in green in SMC then it's not your connection either. SM's placement is very weird and unfair.
Lately I have seen a model with a very bad stream and no it wasn't bad only that day but all the time, yet she's like mid page one. Her resolution is probably in the 640 all the time! That's what I meant by weird.
There are models signing in for the first time and they're placed on first page and there are models who worked their asses off for years and got buried on page 5. They all have good specs, just that the last ones are not favorites. That's what I mean by unfair.
More and more models coming from studios and there are only so many spots on pages 1-2 to share in between favorites and studios. Not everyone who's on the first page earned their spot and not everyone who's on lower pages will earn a better spot. I mean, I hope you do, but sometimes it doesn't happen.
Personally, I am stuck on page 3 ever since I got an account and I've put effort into getting higher until I realized that I am investing in nothing. At this point I don't even care where I am placed because ever since I got my account I am stuck with the same weekly income and I am sure at this point that SM doesn't want me to cross that line, ever. Some call it "conspiracy theory", I call it "knowing the struggle".

woke up this morning to me on page 6, like wtf, REALLY?????? I have a gaming laptop with an i7 and internet plugged in, how the hell did I go from bottom of page 1 or page 2 to all the way to page 6? I SERIOUSLY want to just cry right now!!!
Anyone know what would cause me to go to page 6 over night? I don't have any 5 star ratings over the last 7 days, could that have caused it? Im still at 5 stars tho?
