Well, I streamed for about 65 hours this week. The last two weeks were horrific, so this week I stfo for as long as I could. Right now I am afraid that if I blink I will fall asleep.
Goddamn if you were on SM you'd have done well. Bravo on discipline!

That makes me remember when this guy came along and wanted me to pour food all over my body... I stunk for 3 days no matter how many showers.. and I made a lousy $12!!!... I was so fucking pissed off.. the amount of food I wasted was almost the price of the show.. and I think he bought some block session or something but ditched out early.... this was in 2003 so naturally I cannot remember the full details.
Did he want you to be a burger? Was it mustard? Cause if so, same exact thing. He did a block, said "I can tell you aren't into this" and left like 5 min in.

Hey are you on twitter? Bc if I saw this earlier I would have tipped you. I tip models a lot to get them to stay or help in contests, just saying.

Dont know, I used to do better when I started this around 8 years ago, but I was never a top girl. I am on ImLive now, it sucks sometimes, but hey, we all have to work with what we have. I know the grass is not greener on the other side:) I always smile when I talk to you girl, you got some good vibes there for sure. Keep it up!

I rarely use Twitter, and by the time I was even $12 short it was the 15 minute countdown to the end of the contest, so....eh. Appreciate the kindness you do tho, that's super nice.

The last couple yrs before this one cam/ phone , everything was great between Oct and late Dec, even with the holidays around, I had a few good yrs but this yr it s SUCKING booty so far....
It s been dead on all sites, my skype seems like ghost town, no guys around and I got like 4 guys 4 nights in a row ( one guy each night) asking for freebies ( the I ll pay u when I get paid bs)…
I was like " am I wearing a t shirt that says " charity cam girl" or something???
I m here to see if it s been slow for everyone in general or it s just me...
I m freaking out cause I ll be out of the country all Jan and I was planning to bank these months to make enough $$ to cover my cc bills for right after when I get back ( I also know Jan is usually dead for most of us but the way things are going I m lucky I have money for food and bills due in early Dec and Jan..)
I m trying to sell stuff on ebay cause being online while abroad w my family will be very hard.. I could only do it overnight and have to be very careful cause they don t know what I do and my 2 yr is coming with me so... mmm don't even wanna think about it! :(

I've had a migraine all day and I ended up drinking so much coffee tonight on top of the pills I took to try and combat it. So here I sit... on SM and wanting to just hang myself. Does this happen to anyone else? Like you want to make money, you know you need to be here just in case someone comes by that wants to give you money but as soon as you hit start show... you want to just cry your eyes out.

Its painfully slow. I went from teasing in free to coding and study in free. Im so ready to make money on other way.
Like... even if someone actually stays more than a few seconds and talk, it just doesnt make any sense. People just stay to blurt out whatever stupid shit comes to their mind.
Like yesterday dude:
- I like ur lamp! (2 min later)
- I like ur pillow! (2 min later)
- I like ur keyboard! (2 min later)
- I like the "whatever he sees in my room)
I was wondering, does he think it s a ... Black friday wholesale, he can pick one or two item from my room to buy them or what? Fuck me I m retarded, but I dont get whats the point, he was clearly broke and not interested to get a show.
Other idiot who always freeloading in my room, and on the top of that always act like a jerk, I kicked him several times. Today, he came back again to a revenge:
-Do u think u re speial?
And... nah dude, I just think u re a jerk and I m better without u. It s my room, so please let me fucking decide who stays and who not, and if u re not wanted, WALK THE FUCK AWAY like a normal adult.
They could sit in other 3000+ rooms if they really dont have anything better to do, but nooo... they need to justify themselves and fight for their right to... to... what the actual fuck? And how many of them are pathetic no lifers who only exist to annoy.
Out of curiousity I kept open a few other rooms from page 1, and those models too just sat in free forever, got pvs ... once in an hour just like me. I d hang myself if I wouldnt be able to do my lessons, for sure. Even like this its upsetting af.

I can get loony too LOL...I hit the break button often to blow off steam. This job ain't no joke and when you're up there at 35-40 hrs a week you're really pushing not only the body but the mind.

Was in the final stretch of my weekly goals, reeeally needed to make another $150 before Thursday. Was doing so good the week before this, cammed nearly every day, made lots of money. But today just... Nothing. I couldn't make my goals because it was SOOO SLOOOW.
I have to borrow the money from my bf which I feel bad about, and he is going to come over tomorrow and we are going to film stuff for my MV store to hopefully make some passive income that way. I just feel so bad that I worked so hard and still came up short :(

Try moving your camming station or computer to somewhere you can easily zone out (on your bed or coffee table.) When IDGAF, I'd stream from my L couch with my computer pointed towards me and I'd just watch TV on bluetooth. If money came it came, if not fuck 'em.

Lately, to me, camming means sitting online untill I can no longer think straight or keep my eyes open, then crush, struggle to sleep, wake up and repeat. With breaks for eating a sandwich lol I never needed a break so badly, and I can not afford to stop. Huh. I could be worse tho. I could be doing all this and make close to nothing. Ive been there. Dont wanna go back. Camming was not supposed to be THIS hard.

When a guy you once did a show with who tipped $150 GOLD plus stayed in exclusive for 13 min shows up and only stays 3 min and DOESN'T tip...
Camming royally sucks. I'm 1.5 hrs in and have made $8.44
Today started off so good too. I gotta think positive thoughts or I'm gonna log right off LOL.

What’s the deal on these token sites with having a room full of people and nearly every single damn guy just sits there and gawps at you without saying a damn word? You try and get them to say a quick hello at a massive, effort exerting push and they still do the same?
Is it cause they’re sat waiting for other people to tip for me to do stuff or something?
My patience is being tested tonight.

Today started off so good too. I dyed my hair, polished my toes, and really thought I'd make good money today. Man, camming can be such a total waste of time.
This makes 4 sales books I've read...and the money on cam is total shit this month. I'm doing one more hour then bailing. I cannot let this fuck me up. I will not let camming fuck me up.

Same here, 32 for 4 hours, 0 members in room at all and 17 potentials, seems my huge tits isnt interesting to see. And its not worth to come in and say hi to me. Also I checked my category and see that all models are going in exl or pvts, members very active there and only I literally with zero activity in my room. Maybe I have a shadow ban, thats strange why I have that dead silence while all so sucessfull.

In my (sad) experience, whenever I dye my hair, do elaborate make-up and really go over myself to look good I make shit :) I would really like to know why is that the prettiest I look, the less I make on cam. When I dont even try they seem to want me. /:O
Believe it or not my 25 yo son said to me when i asked him and myself the same question: sometimes a guy could leave a room cause the girl is too pretty, he did not elaborate but i think it has to do with the fact they might be intimidated, feel like 'i am out of her league' or similar. Even we dont see them or dont know them as personality and never will their subconscious still works that way cause for them things are always personal. I was not aware of this aspect before my son told me cause i don't have a man in my life to get a male point of view. I had a talk to my son recently and i too asked, how the heck i struggle when i do my best to look great on cam?! I wear great make up, hair is always done, clothes are stylish (alawys wearing sexy nighties), i wear beautiful jewelry, i smile and have a good attitude and look way younger than my age. I never get on cam w o make up on or wearing other clothes so i dont know how else i should do this work cause that's my style but what u guys do as 'less' when u do better money than when u look ur best?!

This could be a reason, altho I get such entitled, ”Im the best” kind of guys that it is hard to imagin them being intimidated by me. I ussually wear shorts, a top, simple make up. I dont show my face on cam all the time. I prefer to feel attractive but also comfortable when I cam. I can not do long hours all glamed up.

To be honest, I think that most of the time these guys dont even know what they want. They seem to always be on the run, trying not to miss one single camgirl they might ”love”.

I think it's all about self confidence, that shows. My case:
In my real life: I look super pretty without makeup, I wear everything on bare minimum. When I do too much makeup, I am feeling uncomfortable.
On cam: It's totally opposite. If I wear minimal makeup, I look OK, but I can stare at myself on cam and see something is missing, so I start feeling uncomfortable. Without false lashes, my eyes are looking weird, even tho, in the real life, false lashes are not too flattering for me.
So, I make shit money, when I feel uncomfortable. When I do my makeup fully and feel like a vixen, I make money.
So, combing back to you, if putting effort into putting makeup, hair and such, can make you feel uncomfortable and it doesn't feel like you, then that may be the "issue" :)). It's all about feeling like yourself on cam.
In real, I feel like myself wearing a little makeup. On cam, I feel like myself with strong makeup.
In real, I feel like myself wearing a little makeup. On cam, I feel like myself with strong makeup.
Good point, same here, in real life i feel uncomfy with too much make up and on cam i feel very uncomfortable w.o make up because my cam persona is totally different than my real life persona. Of course i wear make up irl but at a minimum to look put up and decent while on cam is another story as i play my cam character :)

True and there are is the webcam "distortion" that matters and changes the things. On cam, we need to wear strong makeup, to have everything shaped perfectly and look magazine like. If I wear the day to day makeup, I look washed out :))
^^^ Yes, it's called stage make up or TV make up, in the past geisha wore that awful make up to be seen in the dim light. On cam my make up does not look excessive but if i go on the street with the make up i wear on cam i look like a geisha haha (not really but u get the point)

Camming does not suck that badly, but the fact that ImLive is giving even more discounts and bonus credits to members and I only see those at the end of a pvt sure does. Sites seem to only think about keeping their members, which I understand, but they dont seem t ogive afuck about models, and that I fucking hate. They only do it because they know we wont be going anywhere, because we need this job. So camming does not suck, but damn, those sites sure do.
^^^ImLive is known for these practices, they always value their members more than models, even when models are right they still give members the advantage either by winning a dispute or getting money back for whatever reason.
They dont understand that models keep the customer paying and coming back, they greedy and unfair, always been.
I cammed on IMLive for several years and dropped that site when the chargebacks were unberable anymore, they simply stole the models's money and said it was on the members STILL they valued the members who did not pay, how ironic and hypocrite, models working for nothing dont matter for them right?
At least SM is fair and always pay the models no matter what, they make sure to verify members and cover the chargebacks if any. I respect SM for this but ImLive?! When they figured out they loosing models they changed policies but still they do chargebacks, not as hard as before but still.
