I'm sending you healing vibes sis! Can you make some tea?
Tea, a hot bath, then is bedtime for me. I am feeling those vibes, my mood just got better :)

I'm done with time wasters today. ?#$(%*&!!
Is there a way to charge for a response? lol because that would be so effective at cutting down on the stupid small talk they just LOVE to have for no reason at all. Or maybe just copy/paste an auto message that says "10 Gold - for 3 min conversation". Because we all know that any mention of monetary compensation makes them flee fast af.
And I would totally time that shit down to the last second. haha
I only have so much energy and I save all of it up for the paying customers. When a guy asks to just sit and chat I say "sure, but you have to tip" with a big smile on my face.
And I do not chat. I ask pertinent questions to make the sale then make my pitch. No energy to waste at all!
Yes, sis, it is draining AF!!!
My favorite thing to say is "I can answer all your questions in private." They either go private or leave. Easy peasy. Try that doll.

I never do small talk in my room either. If they want to talk, I tell them to either join my pvt or tip me. I always feel drained when I do engage in small talk with them, and the fact that I ve got 0$ out of it only makes me feel worse. They will take advantage of you and just talk forever if you let them, then when they get bored they will go do a show with someone who is not that nice and chatty for free.

^This big time. Usually what I do once they've asked a series of like 3 random questions about nothing Ill ask them if they are looking for a show today. Usually that makes them leave. I'm just bitching because I've had quite a few of these guys today lol.

Unless its a customer I know, I just start getting a bit pushier. "What kind of show did you want today?" or if they say they only want to chat "Oh I'm pretty busy today so let me know when you are ready for a show!" Then I talk to imaginary people. lol

Huh. Dude enters my free chat room, tells me that he wants to watch me do whatever I like, in order to cum for him, I say sure, be my guest. Here we are in pvt, where he is like: ”can you do pain,atm, dp and squirt”? It took all of my patience to just be calm and tell him that I can do that , but if he wants me to cum then surely that is not the way to do it. He says ok, then do whatever you want. Stayed for 20 min. I ussually just tell guys like him to fuck off then ban, but today I am kind of slow to react, and looks like it worked. Oh well. I needed that.

Last night I had a guy enter a hitachi show. Starts barking orders and demanding things I don’t offer at all or only in exclusive. Other customer leaves, I tell dude off then block him. He then rates me 5 stars, I think some of these extreme guys like when we say no. Wish I would have milked him for more

I'm 55 min in and one "obsessed with your feet soles" with an immediate exit and 5 GOLD with a "u like" then he left.
Dayum, I dunno if it's cause I'm running on 5 hrs rest or this shit is just really bad. TF I'm gonna do for 4 more hrs if this shit continues LOL.

Yeah, I hear you. Good shit on that private! Must feel relieved. I sure would.
Nights are so different. It just seems like that time men are more serious. I don't get as many "baiters" who say yeah then bail. At night the men just tip or hit exclusive. I don't really have to pitch a show.
I can't do nights regularly. I have a mental illness that requires I stream a day shift. I can get away with one night once in a while, but hit it regularly and I suffer.
Dude, it's just dead over here. My last show was with a super sweet young fella whose limit was met after 7 min in exclusive. While he came back into free to thank me I can't help but feel some kinda way.
Sitting and waiting for 2 hrs without any action can be draining AF.

In my experience SM contests equal a lot less traffic and a huge dip in sales. I can make $1K during a normal week, but struggle to make $500+. They can be a bitch to sit through. But it's pretty universal. Most ladies here on SM talk about the emotional and physical drain of contests as they usually suck.

I had to go back and check...my first official week was during a contest lol. I didn't do too horribly but I did work ALOT of hours for what I made. I don't know if the "new model" status sorta offset it? I'm still pretty new as this is my 3rd full week at SM. That being said, yea it was pretty dead for me that I almost died of boredom lol. I am chalking it up to the contest though and tryin not to sweat it. Hang in there. We're all in the same boat :)

I wish I had the energy to do nights when I don't make much during the day. But like you, its just super hard to do it consistently. I've gotten on a pretty good day schedule that Id like to keep with too. Just sucks when you don't hit those goals. I just got word I will have the house to myself this weekend so I'm going on a major camathon starting tomorrow afternoon to try to make up for this week

So, technically, Ive had a good day....I made low goal, most of it on SM, and here lately low goal is a miracle....but....I had this dude this morning message me about setting up a month long, all access text session where i would be available whenever. $45 a day with the agreement that he would pay for the full 30 days up front....i was so excited, cause ive never made more than a couple hundred bucks in a day....and he seemed so serious but...nope. I got my hopes up like an idiot, knowing full well that shit would never happen to me lol. It was only about 5 minutes of excitement before I started thinking more logically and, as i should have known, he was just a timewaster....but...idk. Its been bothering me all day. When I started camming I thought I'd be like some of the girls here and be raking in cash and feel fabulous and just masturbating my way to the bank...but, you know...its just not like that, as a trans girl. Im not saying trans girls cant absolutely kill it out there, but...I dunno. I havent. And Im reasonably hot and well spoken and do my best to work as many sites and avenues as I can....just feels defeating, you know? I work just as hard and long as the next girl, and most days make 1/4 what a lot of girls make easily. I know its the cards Im dealt, and its dumb to whine about shit I cant control. I just thought itd be so cool to be the one to be able to brag, just one damn day....but...idk. Maybe one day. Maybe never. I mean, I will never quit trying, but....idk. Im rambling. Just feel defeated is all. Carry on.

The worst part was, that he sat in free chat before the exclusive and refused to do a block session. He said that the last time he did his scenario with another cam model, he got disconnected, and was charged anyway.
He wanted to email me that disgusting script first. Uh, only if you tip me $20 .
That's when he whisked me into the show.
He was a gold show customer, so I put up with his ramblings.
But, after this, I'm going to block his ass.

It s not a new site. I ve found some posts about this site on the forums from 2013 and I saw the site is registered since 2010, I think. Jolee of GirlsPrivateCam does some Twitter and reddit promotion and I m sure in some other places too, just that I haven t searched them all.

Why is it a pain again to make anything? I see the same shitty freeloaders every day. No quality, no quantity. Some asshole sit in rooms only, coz they think they piss models off with freeloading 7/24 - wich is true anyway. I dont take it. I log off every single time I see a "i dont have anything to do all day long but keep coming back after 10.000.000 kick coz haaaaaaaaaaaa, it s sooooo much fun!!! " pathetic no life loser.
In the meanwhile i progressing nicely with my studies. I think , in one year I ll be able to leave this pile of shit behind, for good. That s my plan. I ll be able to work and rely on that, and no fucking sick moron ll be able to reach me anymore. I ll log on cam if i want to, and leave it if i dont like it. I like to think about that.

I see. I don t drive traffic there and the hits are low for me on GPC as well, considering I m on there since perhaps half a year ago. I would promote it just for the high percentage....but since refunds and chargebacks are taken from our funds...hmmm...nope.

Camming was going good earlier around dinner time but it sucks tonight. I keep getting idiots asking about anal shows when I clearly put in my profile that I do not do any anal stuff. I received so many requests about anal shows tonight that I had put in my room topic: no anal! I still keep getting a ton of pm's about anal. I'm not even bothering to respond to them seeing as how I feel like they're trying to purposely piss me off. The amount of guys pm-ing just to ask about skype for very cheap token prices, offering paypal, and asking me to watch their cams for free is annoying too. I feel like it's an unusual amount of this bullshit tonight. I don't watch cams for free and not into the lame ass freeloading scammer crap! Ugh. I might just call it a night for today.
