^^ I agree Jane. That's why yesterday I just did voyeur shows all day. Had a migraine all day, and knew it wouldn't be in my best interest to be in free-'loader' chat all day, because I probably would have said something I really didn't want to.

Camming doesn't necessarily suck but I do.
I was away on Sunday, then Monday Tuesday I was so worried because nobody had seen my cat since Saturday. Worried + stressed = cam being shit. Then today my cat came back but now I'm stressed and worried because Monday and Tuesday were rubbish. Vicious cycle. And SM is full of freeloading c*nts more than usual. And I'm stressed about ten other things too - from a family member who now has cancer, to whether I can go to Ireland next month or not to see my bereaved friend, to radical life changes as of next month, etc etc.

I haven't been on in about 10 days. A horrific August, combined with my borderline boyfriend pulling some spectacular shit this last go 'round, has just decimated me. I'm going to start making clips every day to hopefully mitigate some of the WTF? going on, on Streamate. I'm praying things go better this month, and start to pick up for the rest of the year.

Every member there is a damn freeloader when r they going to kick these broke asses off the member list!!??! It ruins my placement i cant even stay logged in long enough for my scheduled time bc im stuck in freechat the whole time fkin up my placement = making it worse! AAAGGH want to rip hair out!! Lol

So the guys in free chat can see into my private shows on Streamate. I was in a show tonight and the guys in free chat were commenting on what I was doing. I asked them if they can see me and they told me everything I have been doing. Also said they have been able to see into shows for a week or so now. WTF? No wonder it's slow on there if they can watch shows for free.

WOW Tonight was ridiculous, everyone was in a bad mood, I made NO money. I tried so hard to stay smiling and motivated but GOD. Also I think I lost my whale because he wanted me to do things I was uncomfortable with and I refused. Oh, and a guy came into my room making demands and I told him to take me to pvt or excl for demands, and he KEPT demanding so I kicked him. And then he came back, apologized, etc, took me to pvt....So I did a slow striptease. AND THEN HE LOGGED OFF AFTER 2 MINUTES AND GAVE ME A 2 STAR RATING.
FUCK THIS NOISE TONIGHT. It's been a rough fucking week.

Ask Liz to remove the rating. They need to not let people rate shows unless they are at least five minutes long. So many one to two minute men leave bad ratings.

I have tried every camsite I've signed up for- nothing but beggars on MFC, Streamate SUCKS BALLS BEYOND COMPARISON- not even reaching $25 goals on gold shows- and literally NO ONE is entering my room on Flirt4Free. I used to make $45-60 bucks an hour on SM like a year or two ago, what happened?!

Really sucks now! I worked in flirt4free before,there are many freeloaders,and the price is 6 dolars minute and for the girls only 26% so really sucks..... you have to do many privates for earn some decent money. In SM i make 83$ yesterday in two hours..... but today 6$ in two hours really sucks, i have the geo blocked on i think i have to quit because i have really low traffic..... And about MFC I hateyou can stay there three hours and earn 30 tokens...... In imlive i earn like 70$ in 5 hours..... and i almost one month try to be admit in ADULT WORK (because they pay in euros and they pay 70% i think) so really camming sucks right now, I think like i loss many years because like 5 years ago i think camming really rocks and the girls can make good money.

SM just sucks period right now. I have been going on every single day even when it's slow hoping for a miracle but nope! Also I don't have geo blocking on and literally sit there sometimes for five to ten minutes without even a single person in my room and that's with usually first page placement but sometimes second. Yesterday I went 75 minutes without any shows. 75 minutes of annoying freeloader free chat! Something has to give! I just don't get it. I have been on SM for a year and a half and this really is the worst I have ever seen it!

I agree! It HAS been a dreadfully slow few days for me, but I know I'll be able to make it up. In this business you just have to kick your game up, try something new, and keep things fresh. It always gets better if you do! Next week is a new week and I'll be going into it positive! As for this week...it can suck my tits. Haha!

The only thing you are doing wrong is not asking for $14.99 a minute. ;D
That being said I would never recommend to *any* camgirl to ask for that price. It is a really stupid thing to do and here is why.
When your price is that high you end up waiting around in free chat a lot. There are only so many people who will/can pay that price so that means you will get WAY fewer privates.
I am really sick right now so I have to use my physical energy sparingly so I don't mind waiting around and getting fewer privates but a girl at half the price with great hustle could make the exact same amount I make come days end and probably way more.
More isn't necessarily better. If you are able to keep your bills covered with camming you are rocking that thing just as hard as I am. Kudos to you!

Camming sucks because MY FUCKING INTERNET SUCKS
THE PAY PERIOD IS OVER IN 50 MINUTES AND I BARELY MADE PAYOUT
I HAVE BEEN SITTING HERE FUCKING BEGGING, PLEADING, SCREAMING AT MY STUPID COMPUTER (I'm sorry baby, I'm sorry, please work with me)
All because I am one room down from the room with good wifi
The connection was fine when I checked at the door
Fuck I should have gone inside and closed the door.
I am freaking the fuck out. I have been at this for FOUR HOURS.
I'm two energy drinks and $0 in.
Encoder won't play? Fine, fine. Be like that. I'll go old school.
Except it keeps disconnecting. No, not the wifi. I've checked. The connection is continuous (now.) SM just doesn't like it.
NO, CAMMODELS LINK, I AM NOT IN A PRIVATE SHOW RIGHT NOW. IF I WAS IN A PRIVATE SHOW RIGHT NOW I WOULD BE MAKING MONEY.
Fuck this fucking noise. I'm not going to cry because I did all my crying last night at another place that I tried that was $5 cheaper where the wifi didn't work even though I had FIVE FUCKING BARS in my room. Fuck me. Fuck this. Fuck everything.
I just. I can't. Why is this happening to me.
(And yes, I know this isn't camming's fault, it's my fault for being a fucking moron. But it sucks a lot and I need someone to know this besides the people on either side of me who are probably wondering why I've been screaming for the past four hours.)
Fuck.

Im so sorry girl. It really sucks to have days like this. thanks justanothercamgirl, was nice of you to say. Oh I think if a guy really wants to spend time with YOU, he will pay your rate. But there are so many choices these days, more so than in the beginning, so competition is rough sometimes. Id rather be busy at a lower rate than to sit and wait for 1 or 2 shows. Thats just my opinion mind you. Best wishes to everyone today- may we all prosper $$$$$

You forgot to mention break every site rule. I see performers selling panties, snap chat, Skype, their call number, etc. We would all make bank if we did the same thing.
I definitely agree. There's still plenty of girls making plenty of money camming. But just like it is with stripping; everyone and their mother is a freakin camgirl nowadays so the money is spread thin. And, just like with stripping, camming is one of those businesses where 10% of the girls are going to be making 90% of the money. Most camgirls are not going to be rolling in the dough; you either gotta be seriously hot or an amazing hustler(or both) if you want to expect great money.

Wow! what a shit day on SM for me. Made a whopping 20$ in 4 hours. Can't remember the last time I did that poorly. Then I see one woman on there with the topic of "10 gold enters you into my monthly fuck a fan contest"....and then...a friend of mine (who knows what my job is) sends me a pic on my phone of a website he was on where under the category of "dating" it shows my SM profile pic (along with other ladies from there) and it says under all our pictures....."Meet (then the performer name)
I'm really thinking I should jump ship with that site. I just seem to get an endless trail of beggars and I can't even get mad at the ones that come in asking for free shit when we're constantly advertised in ways that say it's free or that we're looking to hook up. I miss the good ol' days...Lol

How is that even legal, much less within the site's rules???
If they're paying to be entered into the contest (even if it's a whopping $3.50 her cut) isn't it prostitution? And how would that even work since SM is so uptight about outside contact? What, are they going to fuck over the site's PM?
Ughhh, the idea of having to actually touch one of these guys makes my skin crawl. Eww.

Technically it's not prostitution until people have engaged in sexual activity. At least according to the definition of prostitution.
Unless I'm reading and interpreting it wrong and if that's the case, someone please correct me.
I was kind of thinking camming is prostitution but I really don't know. If you're a none nude model, you're not really doing anything sexual. Now I'm curious.

If you really want to break your brain......there is legal argument that says that teledilonics* is prostitution even if the two people aren't even in the same room together.
That one keeps me up at night trying to logic that can of crazy!

Also, if that stuff was truly considered prostitution it wouldn't be legal. I guess that's getting down to details...but you're not selling your body in actuality, just your image or the sound of your voice. Totally different imo :)

Camming isn't prostitution since there's no physical contact. I've heard of it possibly being production of pornography, though, which can apparently be a tricky legal area when working from home? Buuut as long as they don't come after me I'm alright with that.
But the point of "fuck a fan" stuff (ugh, I thought that was something custies made up) is to actually fuck a fan, no? Isn't that at least... solicitation for prostitution or something?
If I put my topic as "10 gold enters you into my 'win an 8 ball' contest" with the intention of actually distributing illegal drugs is that legal/within SM's rules? I'm so confused. And kinda mad that some girls are having "fuck a fan" contests while I'm getting all paranoid if some dumbass types "skype" in chat.

Honestly, nothing would shock me on MFC.
It's like a circus to me. At some point I would like to jump in and try and tame the lion but if I get my arm bitten off, it wouldn't surprise me.
I feel like it's against the law to commit intent to sell illegal drugs anywhere.

As an interesting side note, prostitution isn't illegal AT ALL in Canada.
It is actually the solicitation part that is illegal.
So you can have sex for money in Canada but you just can't talk about it in anyway or form.
Oh Canada......you so cra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-z-y!

Yeah on MFC I wouldn't be surprised, I've stayed faaaar away from that site but I've heard some of the girls openly escort on there.
But offering to actually physically meet guys and have sex is deeeeefinitely against SM rules, and paying for the chance tl have sex I assume is considered prostitution? Maybe it's technically not prostitution since they're not paying to have sex with the girl, they're paying for what's basically a raffle ticket? IDEK anymore.
It doesn't even seem like it would be worth it... unless it's a scam and she just acts like her boyfriend/FWB is some random fan. That would actually be sort of genius.
