Camming sucks right now because I have no motivation to cam, and by the look of things i guess its best to take the night off.

30 bucks in 5 hours between Naked and MFC. No matter what, I have get at least 130 tomorrow before the day is done to be back on track for reaching my (small crappy) weekly goal. Fucking cheap bastards and fuck student loans. I'm going to go become even more of a bbw now. lol At least I finally got to pay out on Naked though, but I think I may be developing a stye. I really hope I just scrubbed too hard when taking off my eye makeup to make it swollen :(

Between MFC and Naked, I only made 20 dollars tonight in cash. I, however, made 57 dollars in amazon gift cards. So, I am not happy, but I don't know how to really feel either. The only plus side is that the guy, who tipped most of the 20 dollars and 45 of the gift card total, said he is definitely going to come back and really enjoyed our skype. I don't know how I'm going to pay my student loan payment though. If I don't make at least 80 tomorrow between MFC and Naked(since their pay periods aren't over yet), I am so fucked.

I caaaant it's been so slow for me. SM was terrible. Only person who was in my room was a reg who didn't even go private. Wtf. On cam4 tonight and I did good on there last night shockingly but it's awful tonight. The only pulling me through is the hourly bonus other wise I would have made like no money tonight.

I was dead yesterday. Had my first no token shift *and* my C4S has completely halted. I was doing pretty well but now I can't manage a single sale!

Not any more..it wasnt made to be a big part of our lives other than the oddly named holiday my mother would declare she was honoring here and there throughout the year. Oh, and the menorah and dreidel that came out of hiding every december.

Because I cannot get my equipment to work - thus no income! I am a wreck, I absolutely have to make $k this week and that will NOT happen if I am not cam. So sad, my camera is lagging and I have tried everything I can think of to fix it, I am going to die.

As someone who works on naked I agree with you 100%. No, like, 1,000%.
OMG me too. If it weren't so effing slow everywhere for me I would have already dropped them.
I've been on for hours (running it in addition to a few more sites) and made $3 all weekend. My few regulars are not around. I don't know if it's the price change or just that they suck.
I should have known better than to count on any money from there. Was really hoping I could at least pull $100 by tomorrow. I just want to scream !

I make great $ most the time on SM. I really havent noticed a slow shift *knocks on wood* but..the disconnections...im bumped offline CONSTANTLY. earlier just as the bells went off for having met my gold show target! I cannot stay freakin connected and i wanna freakin shove a dry dildo up their widescreen loving monkeys for tech support asses.

Nothing but freeloaders in my room tonight. Thanks to one new premium who was generous, I didn't make nothing... but I am close to $100 from my pay period goal. This week has been shit. Today I made $84 in a little over 3 hours. :(
Went back after a break... and after an hour and a half, i started my "to naked" countdown to remove my panties and could not get a single token. I tried the token chain tip and no one would tip the 1 to start it off. Had like 80 people in the room staring and fapping to my H cup tips and no one can spare 1 measly token. If that doesn't make one feel worthless, I don't know what will.

Camming sucks because I fell from first page to third page.
Who the fuck knows why? I am just so tired with fighting with my placement.
Nina_Den
07-15-2013, 01:26 PM
^ But that's really a drastic change. Sure it's not just a glitch because of the encoder or something of that sorts?
I came to terms with the fact that unless it's the so-called "dead" hours on SM, I'm always gonna end up in the second page, then I get literally no traffic and my hourly averge is embarrassing. It was only during the last couple of days that I realized if I log on exactly during that dead time, I'm usually located in the middle of the first page and can take advantage of that until I'm being pushed back again to the second page. It works very good so far and I actually make money.
I guess logging on when it's SM-prime-time is like suicide for me, so I will avoid it completely from now on and see how it goes.

I don't do well during prime times either on AW. That's because then many rows of group chats going on are put on top of the first page and this stops my traffic, unfortunately, and also a lot more women are online too. I do well during very weird hours which most people would consider dead, but I don't always have the patience or energy to stay up so late.

Yep, same here. I started only going online when it's around 15:00 PM in Israel - I think it means it's, like, super-late-night/super-early-morning at most places in the US. But I don't care; I actually get traffic (!) and natural daylight is my favorite kind of lighting.

^^^ Same here but i dont feel comfy to work day time in summer for various reasons (including its too hot & humid - i hate this weather) and in general i feel 'safer' at nite, no door bell rings or phone calls, not that much noise outside like in the day time (i live in a high building with many apartments next to a main busy street) then my mom visits every month for a few days so its not ok to work when she is awake and around here and the major reason is my body rhythm is set to work at nite mostly, sometimes it's changing but it's happening naturally, if i try to change it and work different hrs i feel not ok like i have the jet lag effects. also, my best regulars come around in the nite (my time).

I haven't worked days in a long time, mainly because I don't like waking up that early. But these last couple of nights have been so slow for me. An since I've started doing gold shows guys will come in an ask if I'm doing one or they'll just sit around for a couple of minutes just to see if I start one. Once they see that I'm not doing one they'll leave. I've also noticed that guys won't tip in if the buy-in is over like $6. I do not like that at all. So I'm going to try days and see if its any better. I didn't do that many gold shows as it was but I don't think I will be doing any for a while.

Camming sucks because SM was dead last night.
No traffic.
Not even people bouncing in and out.
One regular stopped by and I made a bit but damn.
Nice welcome back...

Tonight was rough. So frustrating to have 17 people in your room and hardly anyone speaking no matter how bubbly and friendly you are and even MORE frustrating when only one person is tipping. It's like you have to be spinning dishes on your feet while doing a handstand and fisting to get 1 measley token tonight.

Camming sucks because I has some awful days over the weekend and haven't forced myself to really cam in a few days. Got on yesterday morning for like an hour and it was so slow and bad I had to log off because I was going crazy. Maybe I needed a tiny break, but I'm procrastinating getting back on. My sleeping schedule had been so messed up lately that I keep sleeping through my normal shift which was usually pretty good for me...I need to STOP other wise I'm going to have to do a cam a thon at the end of the week to make my goals and even then who knows if I will. Mehhh
cherryblossomsinspring
07-17-2013, 04:25 AM
Sucks!! I made $52 in the span of 4 hours. The worse part was the last two. I actually had a guy tipping me $0.50 over a two hour period. Then another talker kept asking me all of these relationships questions. He kept saying that my goal was changing and it's like umm no tips from 2 hours ago after the guy has left doesn't count towards a shows. I'm so glad I clear tips from goals now because these broke back bitches are waiting to pop in with their rusty $2 tip and go "ooh yeah show your pussy now!". I hope you all get syphillis during a penicillin shortage!!
So annyoned.
In other news I did a private while in free chat on AW and what was odd was that the guy on AW actually gave me his address yet wouldn't get on cam and said he's shy. Lol I don't escort but surely going into a cam model's room telling her your address and then ignoring a cam 2 cam request would surely turn her around to sleeping with you for free! Huh? I just don't know why I'm camming for money when I'm so desperate for free dick right?? :ODumbass!
Just needed to vent... In all honesty it was my fault in getting late on cam. After a certain hour my main site becomes the : talk you to death for $0 / beggar central / I hate women getting paid for this
I should feel lucky that I didn't get the latter of that horrible trifecta of lame.

Super upset right now. My traffic on SM completely died in the last 2 weeks. Last week in two days I made $16, and today, I had technical issues with CB, so I switched back to SM and my room is dead as hell. :( how am I supposed to make any monies.

Had a horrible shift on SM. I had hardly any traffic at all, and guys either sat there and stared at me without talking or logged in and immediately left.
If it wasn't for a regular who showed up in the beginning, I'd end up leaving with $0.
So, 2 hours and $25 later, I'm off. :(

I think Adultwork is dead at the moment. I usually make around 120/140 credits a day on there.
Now its just getting worse, today for example ive done like 35 credits.
No traffic what so ever.
Just dont get it.
Streamate is better for traffic now.
Just dont know what to do to help it improve.
Have put myself on twitter.. but dont know what else!!
is it just me?

SM has been awful for me this week. Granted, I took Sunday - Tuesday off, but DAMN. Yesterday and today have been like pulling teeth to get shows. My placement is normal but the traffic is weird. I don't have half the people in my room that I usually do, and the ones that do come in are dead silent. Makes me want to scream!!! But I need to make up for my three-day weekend so I'm just gonna have to plaster on that grin and power through!

I'll give it an hour though. >:/

Nowhere near my goal.... Streamate was just seriously the worst, ever ... Which sucks, cuz for once, I was totally okay with chilling for nothing. BOOOO! $50 in 5 hours? :( I just know it's been so much better than that, cmon! I feel SO dejected, I know I won't want to cam tomorrow because I'll feel like it's pointless, but I know I have to get online! Stressssssful much?! Stress affects your appearance! Dont they know if they keep doin this shit, I'll age quicker!?! Men....

It's not so much that camming sucks for me today, but that I suck for camming. I hate feeling sick when I need to make money, but no one wants to watch a girl who looks like she's going to throw up at any second. So god dammit pepto, you had better kick in already as I need to hustle.
Edit: Plus it doesn't help that I'm so stressed out right now. It's approaching the first anniversary of my mother's death (three weeks from today), and I am so not handling it well. Maybe it's the stress making feel ill.

Aww, thanks :) *hug* The pepto's not helping, but I'm working on getting more out there on twitter with today being Follow Friday and all, and I set up a video sale on ELM so I'm still getting some work done even if I'm not on cam right now. Thanks for the well wishes.

Streamate is KILLING ME this week. Are there any known issues going on? There must be something that I'm missing here because traffic is ridiculously low. Also, all of the assholes seem to be coming out to play and pissing. me. off. Or maybe they're just getting to me more since I'm already frustrated. :(
