0 from live cam all day yesterday. 1.79 from tips so far today- 4 hours in. This isn't just SM with the frigging contest either. I've tried Cams as well. My room is nothing but tumbleweeds.

I feel ya when it comes to being tired. I haven't logged on in three days because my lethargy is just killing me. I dunno where you live but where I live way up north where its dark now at around 4pm and its the beginning of the season where we barely get any sun...nothing but overcast. And if its not raining, its snowing. Makes me soooo depressed and sleepy. My days and nights are mixed up too so I just woke up. All I want is to work days, make my money, and live like a normal human being lol
And reading these posts doesn't make me wanna log in at all. :/

Ugh 2.5 hours and 0 made on SM.... I also had zero hello's. Like nothing! Just random in and outs and that was it.
Guess I'll move the computer back to the bedroom, shower, eat... stay signed in to NF and CMD and maybe I'll hop back on at midnight again.

Was curious my earnings/hours for this new pay week and so far I've worked 10 hours and made $6 bucks on SM.
Maybe I'm just not cam girl material. I got my shit together to late in the game.

Hey everyone, I know things suck right now. I have made less than $10/hr tonight and I want to scream and cry and just give up. I feel like it is never going to get better.
But I just want to remind you all and remind MYSELF that it will get better and it will pick up again. It always does. Stay strong, everyone!

Working nights on SM is ruining my days. I got up so freaking late today. Didnt even hear my alarm go off.
^^^ I work nights and got up at 4:30 PM today, it was getting dark already, i went to bed 9 am this morning after my son left for work.
Funny, i opened the blinds and the window to get a little fresh air and look at the sky before it was getting really dark.
Traffic is soo bad this week, i had a pvt per (approx 4 hrs) shift mon and tue, sunday just a few tips, i know it's not me, it's not u but the hunger games contest week on SM's fault, i put that in my signature last nite after i re-read it cause it fits too well.
It's a survival game, we are good performers but the times are tough, life of a cam girl is not easy anymore.... be well and stay strong ladies, we shall get over this week too, i know i swim thorough contests by now ;)

I just had the weirdest pvt ever....A guy came in (or girl because they said they were female) anyway, we went private for all of five minutes and all they did was tell me about their recent car problems and then just logs off with no warning lol. I mean don't get me wrong I'm totally cool with talking car issues. It was just so random lol

That's the beauty of this industry- anything is possible. I have had waves where I just did talking shows. They have ranged from someone wanting my feedback for some tracks they had produced, one guy just wanted to share investing advice and how the market really works, then some where I just sit topless and talk about whatever came up, then I have had one customer that needs to talk about his current relationship and advice.
Last night I had a short show- with a guy that just signed up to the site he wanted to go exclusive so that I could see who I was talking with.
Honestly I love those types of shows. People need connection.

Agreed. Right now the correspondence I have with my two whales I have is 95% talking. And in turn I've found myself attached to them as people now rather than just looking at them as part of my income. It does something for me just as much as it does for them. I love this part of the job. <3

I dont think so? They said that it was their day off and everything but that their car would not start.....and this is how the conversation got started. So in my mind I pictured this guy coming in the house from trying to start his car and thinking:
"I need to talk to someone. Let's log into SM" lol
Not gonna lie - I'm still intrigued as to what the hell happened. I'm gonna add a note to this one so I can ask if they ever pop in again lol

SM was totally dead for me so I signed on to mfc. I had 24 dudes sitting in my room and all with zero tokens, wanting to just chat about how bored they are, the weather, and random shit. I said,"Nobody is horny and wants to play with me in pvt? I'm feeling super horny right now". One guy came into the room with only 2 tokens and told me to get nude now. Dude, I don't get nude in free chat and I'm certainly not getting nude for 10 cents! Several said that they couldn't go pvt because they were at work. Come on! That many dudes are sitting on a camsite at work? What the heck kind of jobs do they have where they can sit online on adult sites, staring at camgirls?

I'm fed up showing skin for a bunch of assholes who don't know how to please a lady. Lately its been so hopeless. I'm losing so much self esteem from this and I'm beyond broke. I just got a bill in of almost 9k$ and idk how the hell I'll be able to pay that. How am I supposed to pay that if I'm sitting all night long in front of a bunch of greedy and dumb imbeciles???? Hellooo?? Are these dudes all beyond retarded this month?? I need to pay my damn bills. Did no nut november destroy their mood and last three braincells or what?! I'm beyond pissed off. If a man comes near me this month in real life and tries some shit with me I'm gonna let out all my anger and frustration. My hate for men has never been so big before. They all have the audacity to come to me and give me their excuses. "I'm broke bb" "I'm at work bb" "I bought a house bb"
WHO CARES!!
DON'T VISIT CAMSITES THEN!!!! uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I already had a blunt today now I need a second one...

I was logged in and available for NF and indy shows today from 10am to 5:30pm CST. I sold 2 videos and got 1 show. It's extremely slow. Token sites have been ridiculously slow too. I compared it to last year and I was very busy through the end of the month. So I guess I can't blame it on the holiday. However today ruined my monthly per hour rate stats.
Yes I could of made videos ALL day or sat in free chat aimlessly. I worked 8.75 hours yesterday between cam admin work/video creating, editing, and uploading/free chat/NF/indy. I just didn't have it in me today to produce like a mad woman.
I was ready for my regular traffic, like the kind that always contacts me when I'm not ready or working...

I'm so sick of SM contests. It was annoying enough when they were just on the holidays, but a 6 day contest just in the middle of November for the fuck of it? And who wants to bet there's a Thanksgiving contest too? Traffic is so absymal and the traffic that is here is just broke assholes.

Fucking abysmal lately. Was so excited for my kid to start nursery and me do more hours. Well, it was better before when I was only doing about 6 hours a week on cam. Kill me now.

I keep seeing girls talk about dudes asking about Gold shows when that clearly isn't going on in a girls room... Contests training them to expect that weekly now. My thought...

SameĦ I just started Monday to stream on SM and yesterday, and only 40usĦ made in those 2 days..uggg.. and today only 3usĦ damm joke. These NBAgames make me sick as hell. Every single of my customers always desappear to watch those games and I suffer as fuck in an empty room. Contest are horrible and guys ask me for Gold shows aswell, I dont do Gold shows and seems to be a good tool to participate and make part of these contests cuz I have to wait hoursss for a pvt. And plssss the ones who only do Private shows during Contest, share ur secrets because in my case, is a fail. :'( I know the point is to make good money as fast possible and with Gold shows can be done, but, every time I try one, nobody join. Next week is special date so this week and next one are and were a waste of time. Wish u my best ladies.

Part of me wants to pull an all nighter and part of me just wants to curl up in bed and force myself up early. If I had a choice, I rather work days. Especially with less daylight hours and colder nights. I just feel like with the contest I might fail anyways so just wait till the contest is over before you turn all gung ho on pulling in insane time online. I mean some of you ladies make it during the day, so it is possible. Camming just isnt about night shifts. Blah I'm over thinking. I'm depressed. I just hope my 11am on CMD is for real tomorrow morning. He seemed super legit so motivation to get up. Just hope the lawn people dont show up till I'm done cause they come on Thursdays.

Hey everyone
I asked this question before but I can't find the thread now,
it's been a while so I guess it was deleted.
I am tryina get started camming. I need to fig out the
best thread to find out what is needed to get started.
I've literally never even tried it before, and all I have is
a macbook air, so I would need to get the actual webcam.
One girl had told me where to find the threads before,
but again I can't find her answer now. Sorry to clog up
this thread w/ questions that don't belong here if this
don't belong her. I gotta go into work now but it's toxic
asf in there rn. Theres a narcissist manager. and it
seems like everyone working there is narcs now. and I am
hated. Need to just take a break from the place. So hopping
to jump in the cams, to make up for some hours.

I think what sucks for me is I just love how simplistic SM is compared to other sites. I'm signed up with MFC for example and it just confuses the living heck out of me. Its extremely frustrating. I miss cam contacts so much to (no longer allows US models) because of its simplicity. Sad SM seems to be going downhill.

It makes me sad too. I really really want to make SM work for me. I'm still holding out hope that it will get better. I keep telling myself that even with it's issues, its still better than the site I came from. So there's that.

I've been on SM for a few years now and no matter what anyone says , I know it's gone downhill. Even though some models still bank, they must even notice the huge decline in paying traffic and how much more time and effort need to be put in to it. I know things change but I don't think many people stick with a job that gets harder for them over time unless they're seeing a big pay off for the hassle.
I just contacted support and asked them to close my account. I'm wiping my hands of SM
