Try taking a power nap (but don't let it get too long! my downfall :(), and I've recommended these on here before but if you can find them in your area, try Redlines. They kind of look like 5 hour energy shots but IMO they're way more effective. You can find them at some gas stations or Walgreens (usually at the back near the pharmacy.)

Me too, but i still forced myself to cam, becouse next week school starts and then i am continuously much more tired. I'm taring my screen with stoned eyes and trying not to yawn

You are in good company.....well, at least tired company. ;)

Right there with you. Finishing the last hour/day this week of my vanilla job (just finished working 46 hrs in 4 days) and I need to cam every day this week to pay my estimated quarterly tax payments. Just want to sleep though...

I noticed that when I think about camming and HAVING to do it, I get tired. I think we should prob stop thinking so much about it and just go after it...Stress, thinking about how slow it might be, thinking about our bills, hoping we have energy for this, wanting so bad for the day to go well, etc- all can make one physically tired. Plus the fact that we don't have a boss to answer to and we work for ourselves, it's SO EASY to lack discipline, which makes us even lazier aka "tired"- And honestly, us Stripper Webbers bring each other down..."I don't wannnaaaa...." "Me neither..." "Hope there won't be a lot of idiots tonight" - all of that can mentally bring us down and after that physically make us tired.
I realized this because when I'm "too tired" to cam, I would decide not to get online...and end up staying awake til 5am anyway!
For natural energy, I excersize, eat well, drink alcohol less and sugary stuff, drink tons of water (lemons add a kick)- lead an overall healthy lifestyle...it's not an INSTANT boost but it gives natural energy in the long run. Also, maybe try something like a BMW on your computer wall paper, look at it and say "oh that's easy, I can afford that." Or any pricey item you desire...my motivation is the blog called Luxury Experience...then again, I am materialistic and that what drives me...maybe you're different..maybe family drives you, your kids, or maybe being able to travel drives you.
Cuz ladies, think about it...we have it made. We have unlimited earning potential. If you're "tired" now, imagine working full time hours at minimum wage...right now we prob work HALF that time and earn THREE TIMES as much. Kick yourself in the ass, get up and just do it. It's been working for me.

IA with the above.
And diet seriously helps. Cutting out gluten/wheat completely and anything processed/junk food/soda, and cut way back on meat (I mostly eat a lot of fish and only chicken sometimes) - tons of smoothies and lots of fruit (eat a ton of it, it will give you a lot of energy!) and veggies - has helped me feel sooo much better. That feeling when you eat junk and you feel like a weighted blob - all gone. Working out has helped too.
Right now the thing I struggle with is my sleep. It's been sooo messed up bad for months and I'll get on track for a couple of days then ill shoot myself in the foot afterwards and screw it up again. Sleep is super important bbs!
As far as energy. Those energy shots and red bulls are bad for you and will make you crash. Go for natural energy supplements (and you'll save money too)
I know bbs on here swear by green tea pills http://www.amazon.com/Advanta-Supplements-Green-X-tract-Capsules/dp/B005GLJSHO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1377763460&sr=8-3&keywords=green+tea+pills

I can't speak for other camgirls, but I am tired because I am physically sick.
It wouldn't matter if I was on cam or off cam. I am too tired to do anything either way.

So Well Said JOJO! I decided to be in nature yesterday - it has always helped me in the past, so I figured I would give it a try again. I went to the park, sat with my feet pressed against a tree, (trees take out the negative energy, and give back positive energy). Just looking at greenery and flowers, instead of staring at a computer screen really helped to prepare me for camming again after a brutally slow morning.. :flower:
I meditated on what to do to adjust my 'hustle', and finally found what works for me! Last night was great using my new hustle technique.
I'm not so burnt out today either.
Nature is very healing.:meditate:
I had someone pay for my entire gold show, and keep throwing in money- I have never had that happen before, and I can only attribute it to the fact that I was so calm about the countdown, that I must have looked like I didn't care, and that's when I allowed the universe to supply me with that blessing!

Camming sucked today...I started yesterday in MFC and OMG! I made 75 dls in 4 hours...had a lot of people in my room, nobody talking, everyone sending me pms. I want to be fun, but how can I be fun if they just sits and stare at me for hours (and of course, no tipping) I feel like a fool there, in a silent room, hearing the f***sound of the PMs all night, I donīt know if I should dance,or wait somebody to talk... I know the best I could do is quit and go to SM but I want to be persistent. The good thing is that yesterdey somehow I managed to dropped my camscore to 900 and today I could take it to 1100.
Anyway, I think I have to get a better cam, I have a logithech c270 and I think I look blurry. Tomorrow I will buy a c920 and try again :P

08-29-2013, 10:37 PM
^ Put pms to " friend's only" and also make them tip something to be added as a friend. Trust that 99% of the people that send you pms will not have a dime to spend.

I did it. I had my breaking point today. This week has been so slow. Last week I had my best week ever on SM making over $1,000. But this week, nothings changed. Only that I got bangs. And my room has been a fucking ghost town. I don't know why I am taking this personally but when I mentioned in free chat how slow it was some dick said "Well maybe if you bought some fucking tits, we'd consider you."
Fuck you. You have to fucking pay to have any sexual satisfaction. I don't know why but that mad me cry. I think I'm going to get off cam for the remainder of the morning, calm down, and start back up later.

So fucking true. Had a fucking dick pop into one of my Gold Shows and tell me "Yeah fuck that loose pussy, you fucking whore. Work for your fucking money." I stopped and said "Excuse me? I'm sorry but you already paid me. So I got your money. Fucccck you. *KICK*"

NEVER mention to anyone in your free chat about when it is slow (except maybe if they are a long-term reg and you are working a hustle). Custie are NOT your friends. If there is one thing that I've learned in life is that with certain men if they can't fuck something they will instead take great pleasure out of trying to destroy it.

If camming was all I did, I would do lots more of it! I also work between 40 and 50 hours as an assistant manager of a coffee shop, then come home to take care of my household, then put in anywhere from 4-8 hours of camming/videos/promo work.
I'm always doing something to improve my income potential with camming, even if I have huge bags under my eyes and my hair is a mess from running around a coffee store with it up in a bun all day, so I don't feel like having an audience staring at me.

Some times no matter how much caffeine you have or how many redbulls you drink, you need to rest.For me when I get 8hrs of sleep I feel so rebooted.Your body tells you what it need you just have to listen.

Barring any serious medical issues, for regular run of the mill tiredness I agree that diet plays a big part. Cutting down on grains/refined sugar is good, but I personally need red meat at least once a week or I feel like shit. It's also important to get greens, so make a big bowl of steamed spinach or a green smoothie or something once a day or every other day. I also take a B vitamin complex and use whey protein powder. Most women need 46grams of protein and don't get that in a day.
Also exercise! It seems weird, but there have been actual scientific studies that show that regular exercise=more energy. And get an awesome mattress! I sleep so much better since I got this baller serta set up.

Many days it's hard for me to get on (one of those auto-immune 'sickies' who is working with their doctor to change meds so I won't be tired so often) but I try at least for a little bit. Otherwise it gets harder for me to do so even when I feel great.
If you are only bit tired or out of it, you should still try for at least a few moments. I had someone send me an MFC mail last night. He was sad he was only able to see me for a few minutes (was logging off because I was too exhausted to do much of anything), but he asked what my regular times for being on were. Even if you don't make money, it's at least exposure for when you are feeling better.

But deleting the listing makes me feel as though he "won" so. What an asshole.

Uhm okay thats cool, but i weigh 205 and am 5'4 with 42 DD tits, so maybe i'm just not beautiful to them or something. Who knows and quite frankly i dont care, im just mad that i didnt make any money tonight. But I will make september my bitch in terms of making money so FUCK YOU assholes on allbbwcams.

That site is full of time wasters who would rather sit in your room and chat then actually put money on their accounts and go PVT. I know of several guys who would come into my room back in 2009 who still had the same exact amount of money ($0-0.30) in 2013. I rarely go on ABBWC but since I get paid 40% there, I occasionally log in for the new customers. I'm glad you can actually see how much money is in each account and I do know that there are some guys who pay but there are a lot more time wasters than paying customers on that site these days. When they first launched it was easy money, now, not so much. It's messed up to have the same exact time wasters come into your room from 4 years prior and still (their words) don't believe in "paying for it".
I mistakenly gave my yahoo messenger name to one guy years prior who thinks he's besties with me. Because they get alerts, that fool came in my room, has never paid for a show, and will even go far as to IM me on yahoo when I divert my attention to others. This guy has tried to recruit me and a few others to model for his friend's pin up site. I thought eventually, because we'd chat several times, he'd get lucky and have some money but four years later and you haven't bought one show from not one model? Heelllllss no, you gotta go! Fuck that noise, he's banned/blocked for life. He was down on his luck back in 2009, it's 2013 and you STILL can't/won't buy a show? But you're sucking the energy out of every girl's chat room? Find a fucking hobby, bro.
Unless it's dead everywhere else, I usually just log into that site and stay in private mode. At least that way I won't be bothered unless it's from someone who actually has money.

Camming sucks right now because it's been way too hot to cam. Don't have enough privacy from the apt complex to open the window from the room I cam in. Horrible ventilation plus 3 lights means my makeup is likely to melt right off the second I log on.

Been there, done that. My advice:
1) Milk it in free chat. Make a big show of it. "Ughh, it's so hot, I'm wearing waaaaaaay too much clothing right now!"
2) Constantly keep some ice water within reach and try to remember to drink it, even if you're not thirsty. It really helps bring your overall body temperature down.
3) Wrap an ice pack in a shirt or something and keep it against some part of you. I would sit cross-legged, keep the ice pack on my lap/legs and just position the cam so that they could see me from my waist up.
4) Put your hair up, it makes a huge difference in comfort. I was scared that I'd get less shows but it didn't seem to make a difference.
5) Whenever you take breaks, shut off the lights, open the window and fan the room with the door for a minute or two. Just having that fresh air makes it soooo much better.
6) Powder the holy hell out of your makeup. Maybe keep what you need & a compact mirror nearby so you can just lean off cam for a second to touch up.

I signed up thinkin it would be okay but about a week into it i said screw it the only reason i went on last night was because i KEEP getting emails that this one guy wants to do a private so i jump on thinking okay i'll make money tonight. three hours later he never showed. i logged off and went to bed, got an email IMMEDIATELY after i shut everything down that the same guy wanted to do a private. i'm so done with the site that im tempted to just delete my account on there and stick with mcf and sm.

Tonight sucked because of me. I wasn't in the mood for freeloaders and I blasted them. I know I shouldn't but I also feel like they know a cam site isnt free nudity and fucking myself in free chat. (on Streamate) I'm tired of assclowns acting like they are entitled to free shit and then calling me a bitch when I say no. They don't work for free so why should I? Thanks for listening to my rant, kinda annoyed at some of these people in free chat.
