I know one should always stay positive and never engage the beggars but I find it hilarious today that whenever someone starts begging on IMLive who definitely has zero money/credits, I start to laugh and go loooooooooossssseeeeeeerrrrrrrr and then kick them out.

Some guy started begging right before I was about to leave so I typed it out for everyone:
Hi all. Go buy some credits so we can have fun when I get back. I'm about to be taken private by one of my paying regulars, so you can either go get some credits or go be pathetic freeloaders in some other woman's chatroom.

Some guy responded: Cow

I started laughing and doing the Looooooooseeeeerrrr chant, and then ended with "that coming from a guy who has to pay for it." then I blocked him and exited free chat.

thinking about it now-- he doesn't pay for it. Does he think he's better than our paying clientele because he thinks women are going to fall over themselves in free chat to pay attention to his sad little self?

anyway, I got a good little laugh out of it. Being in the US, I always laugh when someone uses English insults like "cow."

ha ha ha. I'm going to be going moo moo moo all the way to the bank motherfuckers, just as soon as I get paid on the sixteenth.

Don't kick yourself for not working last night. I am stuck on page 3 on SM and I was on last night. One hour no privates. I thought I could swallow something like that, but evidently it was too much. It was still damn quiet tonight but at least I got 2 privates. woohoo. lol

I am having an awful night on SM! I've been here for 2.5 hours and I've had two short privates. I've made a whopping $12 bucks. I'm forcing myself to stay until 7 AM (it's 4:15 currently) but I may have to go back to CB and see how it goes there. I'm not sure what's up with my placement. I haven't missed a day of camming in awhile and my placement fell from the bottom of 1st page to the middle of the third. WAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Also, i'm stupidly tired and just want to go to sleep but I promised myself I was sticking to a schedule.

Oh gosh sm was terrible yesterday. I had 2 decent pvts and one "show me your anus now.. hurry up!" Only made $26 all day.. and I mean ALL day. I'm considering doing a sleep voyeur as well. Does anyone know if getting ratings regularly affect placement? Cause I realized I keep forgetting to remind them.

Yikes. I had stopped by SM's main page earlier to see how many girls were online, and decided to take a break from SM today. I logged into IML for the first time ever. I'm at the 98 cent intro period and guys did not throw themselves at me for a show. WTF. I do ok on SM when I have horny guys stop by, so I can't be that horrible of a cam girl. :P 7 dollars made today. I feel rich! lol

2 hours on chaturbate tonight and made $12.40 cent @[email protected] so much for making a little extra for last day of payperiod. logged into skype got a quick $20 for a short cum show. then nothing. 3 hours total trying to get shows=$32.40 UGH...

._. i hate making below minimum wage when I average out my cam time/money made.
1 hour, $7.20.

also I dunno why but it sort of freaked me out that my only exclusive was from a doctor...while he was a work. I know they wash their hands and everything but, I dunno. Something about that was unsettling. Also it lasted literally one minute so that's always splendid.

Anywho, camming sucks right now. but I will *not* let it suck Saturday. No ma'ams.

Camming sucks right now because once again, I woke up this morning covered head to toe in hives. I showered and took some allergy medication. Now its the waiting game. I refuse to go on cam all blotchy.

I really hate this time of year. My allergies seem to really fuck with me more.

Camming sucks today. ALL DAY. SM. WTF. It was so bad I wrote them and asked them if there was a problem more or less. I mean all day for $26. Kill me. I even jumped to MFC for 7 minutes and I just LOATHE that site so I left. Something is seriously wrong with sm this week. Starting with their message of the pay is coming but it's not being displayed on our site. It's been lagging all week for me. However, I have been able to make $. I can always tell if it's going to suck on there all day if I'm not making x per hour. If it's not flowing it's just not. Doesn't have nothing to do with my attitude for anyone that wants to beat that dead horse again. I'm just pissed I wanted to make $$$ today and didn't listen to myself when I knew 2 hours into it that it was a flaming heap of shit today. OMG. I wish I knew how someone could make that much $$$ and not fix it so all their cam hoes can be pulling in as much as they can. I mean win-win. SOOOOOOOOOO frustrated.

SavannahLynnn
11-15-2013, 12:20 PM
Yeah, I don't really buy into that "traffic is bad because your attitude is bad". When I go on cam I make sure I'm the nicest, bubbliest most talkative person ever. I've had my room fill up as I'm just talking away and not one of those people bought a show.

Anyway, I did 2 voyeur shows last night, one of which I made $1.70 off of -_-
The other I made 0. My % in paid went up, but it did nothing to my placement.

Procrasturbator
11-15-2013, 10:56 PM
$17.50 in 2 hours. All of that in the very beginning.

It's not like there wasn't traffic either, I had a bunch of repeat customers with credits coming in and talking about getting a show... but after the initial rush no one actually did. Wtf.

It sucked for me as well. It was like pulling teeth for about 45 bucks all day. I can't compare my results to the past because last time I worked was May this year. Maybe it's the traffic, maybe it's me, I won't know till I give it another two good weeks at least.

motherfucking encoder. it keeps giving me 100-200 range kbps with flickering cam. :( wheel of doom at times, too. i tried everything, even with light in front of me and putting ethernet cable in instead of wireless. I do not know what the fuck is wrong with it and i cannot work.

hope it will solve itself later today!

11-16-2013, 12:32 PM
Well. I got their reply back. It was basically to remove my geographic restrictions. No thanks. I'm fine having Russia, Romania, ( think ruthless cam studios) and India ( total foreigners who just think it's a free show) being blocked. And obviously that wan't the problem. It seems alot of us had it like that yesterday. And alot of days it works just fine. So no, it's not the restrictions.

I had to laugh at Mare's post. I'm a Romanian import to the North American continent since tender age, and EVEN I found myself blocking Romania on IML. lol Just made me feel too weird to have 'em in my room. Romanians are very clever people who find shortcuts to everything (and most are broke anyway because of how things are over there). I am afraid of chargebacks, so I'd rather not take a chance. Italians seem to be big time wasters too. Anyway, it sucked today. 30 dollars in 3 hours. I think I am done for this week. Need to recharge.

GAH. I think I might schedule a time for some of you to come look at my show and tell me WTF is wrong with me. I used to make decent money and now I have to work 3 times as hard to make what I used to. Camming used to, at least, make me feel good. I gained a little weight (already a BBW) and now I just feel like slitting my wrists every day. I'll have 50-70 people in a room and no one will fucking talk to me. I have tried changing it up, I've fucked with my lighting, outfits, tried to play games, you name it. I am already behind on my rent and bills and now my plan to catch up is not going well. I can not believe this. fuck. and yes, i have gone on every day positive and ready to have a good time and then i slowly die inside as i sit there looking like a fool. camming absolutely sucks right now. /rant.

I really feel out of my element trying to work with the actual camming sites, I just had my first night live on cam yesterday on SM. Dear god, it was awful. Everyone was very rude and demanding, asking me to move this way and do this and etc etc. They all got angry when I told them I didn't do anything for free, not even stand up. I tried being flirty and talking to everyone that came in the room but didn't make ANYTHING for three hours. And the interface of SM throws me off, even after reading the entire thread about it. It all just makes my head hurt.... how do you get used to it?
I'm seriously considering maybe I just don't handle the weird pressure of people watching me live. Maybe I should stick to selling content on sites like ELM and C4S.
So I logged off, put some warm clothes on and went to my second job at the strip club. Only to make twenty bucks all night.
I think it was due to the full moon or something. :(

I've been on a bit of a hiatus and I've noticed since then it's a lot harder to get people in to my room quickly without having to get naked first . which is suckish. I'm not really sure what to do about this I'm pretty used to logging on and not waiting to long for the tipping to start. I feel like the only way to over come this is to be on for a long LONG time and kind of regain my 'fame' haha but it's just frustrating

Camming sucks because I need a new computer super badly and I can't make enough money using what I have to BUY one. The irony! SM hates me computer and its awful because I know there is money to be made there but I can't get on there. Tempted to buy a cheap refurbished computer on walmart.com or something just until I can make enough to get a good computer. Then I'm afraid if I DO invest this money I still won't make shit and I'll have nothing to blame it on. Can't use the 'my computer is crap' excuse and I'll be out a bunch of money. Ugh the struggles!

Im not sure how u do ur camming or on what sites, but you may try a new site as well. Also work the indy shows when u can, i pull in xtra $ every week just in skype shows, but im sure you prolly know how to work that. I hope things get better for you! Your luck can change in an instant so try to keep ur head up! I doubt very seriously that you look like a fool. Ur absolutely adorable (from ur avatar, if thats you).

you could rent a computer for maybe $40/week from one of the shady rent a centers. Just make sure you wipe the computer BEFORE you start using it because the rent a center people are notorious for putting in keylogging stuff to get your info or generally spy. However, for someone who needs a good working new computer now and could potentially make the money in a week or two for a new one-- go rent one if you have a location close to you.

Why can't you get on there? When I couldn't use the encoder I used the browser broadcast settings....HD high, HD low, Cable. I am able to use the encoder now but I'm not able to use the settings they require. When I had my computer on the settings that SM suggested my stream would often times lag and my sound would fade in and out. A few weeks ago I downgraded my settings to this...
35509
I no longer experience any lagging or my sound fading in and out. With these settings (and working a little bit more constantly) I was able to get back to being in the first two rows of my category and the first page of SM. Which I think helped a little with traffic or at least I'm telling myself that it did.

I just recently saved up for a new computer. Usually if I put in the hours I can make $800 or more in a week on SM. But with the way SM has been lately I wasn't/am not even able to do that. I can't even splitcam because of the stupid encoder. My computer just can't handle the encoder, Cams's big clunky broadcaster, or Imlive's broadcaster. Since I make the most on SM I've been focusing on them. I basically had to scrap money together just to get a new computer. Like I combined; 1-3 checks from SM, C4s check, and I think Niteflirt. I put it all together just to get a new computer.

^ Thank you Blovly for the help and the reply! I should rephrase, I CAN actually get on SM but It just takes so much out of my computer. I got on for a short time tonight and it was okay. I streamed in Cable and it seemed okay, It lagged like once or twice but not too bad. I for sure can't split cam which sucks a lot, forget about the encoder. I'm camming on a laptop with a duel core processor and low RAM. I was at 100% CPU usage while streaming tonight at one point. A cam girl nightmare basically.

Trying to make the best of it and make due but with Christmas coming probably won't be able to do better until after the new year. Thank you for the reply though!! :)

gentian violet helps too. i liked it a lot because it is not all messy and wet like yogurt or creams. BUT it stains everything it touches! it made my pussy all purple.. so cute but not cute or camming. haha.

im gonna try and bust my ass on cam today without having to use my poor vag. wish me good luck. made almost $5 within few min of being online. haha

edited - to be clearly, gentian violet only stains while at the apply. it goes dry up after a minute or two.

Camming sucks right now because I am not making anything and no one even talks to me. I don't know what is wrong with me! People used to at least say hi to me or at least show boobs or something. Now it's just dead silent in my room. It makes me feel like such a loser :/ I have consistently made absolutely nothing this week. I just log off after a few hours and cry. It's pathetic.
