$22 in 3 hours.
Need I say more.
:(
Edit to add: Opps, looks like I calculated that wrong. It was actually $22 in 4 hours. (*sighs*)

This random Israeli guy (I suppose) stormed into free chat and wrote in Hebrew: "LOL, you ugly fuck, $5 a minute?!?".
I banned him immediately, but I could see on the encoder screen that I've tears in my eyes so I had to log off.
I know it's not true, and I know all it means is "I'm too poor so I'm trying to make you feel bad about yourself", but it still hurts, especially when it comes from somebody from Israel and written in my native language. It feels much more exposed and personal. I'm not used to it because I had Israel blocked when I worked on MFC.
And I hate feeling like I'm not "worth" my rates, even though I know it's not true, too. :(
You're israeli too? I'm half. Israeli girls be sexy bitches, fuck what the tiny dick can't-even-get-cyber-pussy losers think -_^

$2 in one hour this morning... and I woke up at 6AM to do the morning shift and everything (monday's morning shift was amazing). Getting back on now to torture myself further.

It still sucks so bad for me on SM right now. I wonder how come it's ever been actually good?
I think one of the main reasons for it is that my placement sucks = my traffic is literally non-existent at times. Pretty sure SM is fucking with me.

Camming doesn't suck..i do. Shouldve been on like, 2 hours ago. At this rate I'll get 3 hours in for the day. Not so good for my goals. Oh well, got paid in advance $10 to write a really super short story about my first time wth BBC on MGF, so there's some money made. Uploaded a new clip and advertised to my store, and reuploaded and tweeted a good selling clip at a new price to see if it still sells and because i have nothing new for that one. Not really all that productive -_-

Officially cannot make money anymore on SM because they put me on page number 5,859. They sure do like messing with me.
EDIT: Seriously, no wonder I don't get any traffic. It's ridiculous.

06-20-2013, 12:55 PM
I never thought I'd see the day where I make more money on MFC consistantly then I do on SM.
It isn't because my income has gone up on MFC, it is because it is down on SM.

Camming sucks update:
So, this week has been so-so. But, I finally found a new job. So, looks like I'll be retiring camming when I get my first check. If I need to, I'll cam to make extra money, but we'll see.
I hope/pray that everyone here will either make better money camming, find a new job or both. Also, thanks to everyone who listened/read all of my complaints and gave me advice. I wouldn't have lasted as long as I did camming without this forum. :) *hugs

I think I'm going to have to find a new site because SM just isn't working for me anymore. In general I'm not sure if camming is working for me anymore though. Looking back to when I first started camming to now, it just feels like I put in a lot less effort to make a lot more money then, versus now putting in a LOT of effort and making next to nothing. I never cammed full time, just as a way to make some extra money, but now really weighing my options and thinking about throwing in the towel. Its just not what is used to be, and I don't know if its me or not...but I don't know.
Sorry to make things depressing (though this is the 'camming sucks' thread so full of depression lol) but I'm just almost to the point where I don't think its worth it anymore...which makes me sad because part of me genuinely DOES love camming...le sigh....

Congratulations! Having steady employment and only camming when you want some extra cash, definitely makes camming less stressful. That's my game plan. I hated camming full time. It always drained my energy and made me kind of hate life. Lol. Having a full time job that makes camming completely optional has made me soooooo much happier.
Good luck! :)

I am at the same stage than Fallenangel, the money is not what it used to be and having to deal every day with more idiots who are just looking for free stuff is affecting my mood. I used to be a happy camgirl , but now every time that I hear "show boobs/pussy/ ass " or "are you doing this for the money ?, too bad .." I just want to shoot them all in their balls.
The reality is that every day there are less guys up to pay for shows and more girls joining this work.

The thing is for me...camming is like a really screwed up relationship sometimes. There are days when I want to walk away, and I KNOW I probably should, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Because even though its probably not what it was, I still can't let go of all the good things that are attached to it. I tell myself I'll leave, but always go back because ultimately I do love it. Yeah I did just use the relationship analogy lol...basically I just described my relationship with my ex too, which I also have a hard time giving up so says a lot for me lol. Meh although I actually did decent this morning so I should shut my mouth...

I can't sell shows when there is no one coming into my room to sell too.
Guess finishing my applications up for other sites would be a better use of my time then actually being on SM today.
Vela Valentine
06-25-2013, 11:24 AM
JAC, I can honestly say the same... 2 hours and $33 later, I'm definitely feeling a little bit of panic. :( Its not that I made bad money, but one lucky person got to give me all that cash, and I was hoping to be making at least $30 per HOUR considering I need to make at least $400 this week and I'm 1/4 of the way there :/ SM, PLEASE FIX WHATEVER IS BROKEN!

THANK FUCKING GOD I can block tags! I wish there were a way to find that fucking dick so I could report his abusive ass. Are we allowed to out shitty custies here? I would LOVE to post this asshole's name so everyone can preemptively BLOCK his begging ass!!!!

I was reading another thread about sm and the switching to widescreen issues some models were having. Some were saying the switched back to the old settings and things are back to normal for them. I'm going to try that because now that I think about it, it all started going to shit when I switched to the new settings.

My company just started doing chargebacks. And I got my first one. $24. It may not seem like a lot but when you're depending on a certain amount & you know it took $48 of work to earn that it sucks. It also sucks that you get no member name, no story & no knowledge of whether they're now banned. I feel so down & I just got myself in the mood to go on.
