Monday was decent but not great. It was busy for like 2 hours and then it went completely dead like 1 hr and 30mins-2hrs without 1 private.

Tuesday was horrible like really horrible. I was on 4 hours and only made $3.15. Went on around 5am stayed on for 2 hours and then I took a break. I got back on in the afternoon hoping that it would be better but nope. I had decent traffic but everyone was just sitting there. They would talk and then as soon as I mentioned private or tipping they went mute. Like seriously they all stopped talking and wouldn't even answer me when I asked questions. Then when they finally did talk so many of them said that they'd do a private later. You've already been sitting in my room for 10mins why the fuck did you even come in my room if you don't plan on going private. I even tried telling them that if they didn't want to go private that they could tip me some gold....still nothing. I honestly don't even want to log on today.

Yogurt. It really helps with yeast infections. http://www.newhealthguide.org/Yogurt-For-Yeast-Infection.html

I too eat Yogut....works great for me avoiding yeast infections esp taking antibiotics. Use the "no fat" kind.

I worked full shifts for the past 2 days on naked and made a grand total of $0. I think this is a new shitty record for me. Working on day 3 right now. Is not looking good.

(Yes, I already have two other sites lined up to start working on, but I have a bill due NOW and since naked is the only free chat site I'm on with daily pay, I'm stuck here for the next $115. Oh, this is going to be a long week.)

TMI, but camming sucks right now because aunt flow came a week early. She wasn't supposed to visit until next week when I'm at my families for Thanksgiving and can't work anyway and it was going to be perfect and wonderful. But nooooo she had to be a bitch and instead I'm fending off requests for penetration because day one is always my heaviest. I would just not work but I only have 3 more shifts before I leave and need to make as much as possible. Just grrr. Why can't she stick to a fucking calendar?!?

Staples
11-21-2013, 05:07 AM
Oh to top it all off, I've been on for 4 hours and I've managed to make $5 all night. So it's not just the daytime on SM today ladies!

I've made pretty much nothing the past few days. Was trying to work days on SM and its been TERRIBLE. Beyond terrible. Nights were always better for me but wanted to try to get some natural light in the day. I guess I'll stick with artificial light and at least make something sheesh! Also trying to get in the habit of going to bed at a decent hour, how can I do that when the most money (for me) is made at night? Ugh cam girl problems!

Bridgetxo
11-21-2013, 07:35 AM
I usually work nights also because I can't seem to make anything during the day. But this week I haven't even made anything at night :/ I was thinking about maybe trying to log on in the early morning and see if I can get anything. But I have had terrible cramps today and I am afraid I'll be super emotional. So frustrated right now! I've made a grand total of $50 this week.

Staples
11-21-2013, 07:45 AM
I cam from 2:00 Am to 7:00 or 8:00 AM usually. Most nights (not last night) it picks up around 5:30 AM and that's when I hit my goals. I've been having great weeks on SM but I've only got two more shifts left in the week and I'm not even halfway to my weekly goal!

Camming sucks right now because like the other ladies have mentioned, Streamate has been ridiculously slow the last 2 days for me. I took a break today and was excited to start fresh tomorrow until my boyfriends friends called me to let me know that he was arrested for having an open container (he wasn't in his car, he was checking out his friends new dirt bike outside of the house and was on the sidewalk when the po-po rolled up and he had a beer in his hand, he's of drinking age too)and 2-3 grams of pot. Now I am waiting to see if he will be released or if my ass is going to be calling the bail bonds man. Long story short camming sucks right now because it has been a bit of a chore to get on lately and when you have personal problems on top of that it can make you loathe getting ready and getting on. Though I am going to force myself to try to make that money tomorrow, I am not looking forward to it. It is hard to be pleasant when you have a bunch of other stuff on your mind. All you can do is hope for the best though :-)

Camming sucks because I didn't make my goal once this month. And I don't want to get online, because all I hear is "show ass". And when I show ass they say "go doggy".
I hate all men... I can't go online with that attitude. And apparently camming sucks just for me, since this thread moved to page 4.

I will watch successfull cammodels and try tomorrow. Hopefully I will feel better.

Camming sucks because Streammate is fucking dead as shit. I am struggling to make $10/hr sometimes even less. The guys have been nothing but over-demmanding cheapskates lately, and I'm becoming so pissy it's probably starting to show on cam and just make my overall sales even worse. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I'm not even halfway to this week's goal. I am not feeling it Mr. Krabs. Sigh.

Camming sucks for me today.
I wish SM was consistent, or showed any type of pattern for me at all so I could decide when to get on or if I need to expand to a different site :S Seems like some days are AWESOME and then I'll go days and days not even making min. wage...which is my camtime pet peeve :/

11-30-2013, 01:28 AM
Yeah, no. I've been kicked off twice today. I've missed out on five privates due to crappy stream and glitchy video. One guy took pity on me and gave me a five star rating and glowing review even though he only paid for a minute because he saw how desperately I was trying to get it to work. Restarted my computer three times, defragmented it twice, ran a virus scan and deleted five programs. Nothing has worked to improve my stream. Tried hardwiring it to the modem with an ethernet cable, and that didn't help. RightLight is off on the 920, and everything looks fine on my external encoder; it simply refuses to work on SM's end. All my customers either got pissed or felt horribly bad for me. It's apparently not a server issue (everyone else is fine), and I don't know what more I can do. I poured through the threads and the best solution I can find is to get a better computer (I'm running on an i6 processor); but I can't do that without the money for it and I can't make money if I can't stream. :/ Same story for better internet service.

That's why today sucks such ass. I usually try not to complain, but for the past six hours it's been nothing but stress and only $45 worth of pity privates. I've lost out on so much money, and what with the cutoff on the way and $550 more to go before 8pm tomorrow (in the desperation to make rent), it looks pretty grim. I figured here was the best place to vent a bit of frustration, because at this point I just want to curl up in a comforter and pray for a miracle. :[ Hope everyone else's day went better than mine.

Blovely
11-30-2013, 04:11 AM
@winterdeveroux did you try rebooting/restarting your modem? Like unplugging it, taking the battery out (if it has one), leaving it off for 30 seconds, and then hooking it back up again?

Even though I work on MFC I usually manage to make a decent amount of money doing privates. I've made no privates, got better equipments, and have developed a cheery cam persona. I've made less than $30 this week -____-. I'll probably get back on later today and try to do a goal but we'll see.

Can I just rant for a second about how much I fucking hate affiliates? I understand that they drive traffic to the site and all that blah, blah bullshit but I can't fucking stand when they pretend to be me so they can get their money from guys signing up and then leave me holding the bag with an email box jammed pack with guys telling me how my gmail conversation with them has gotten them all excited.

The punchline to all of this? I am not even fucking camming right now because of health problems. So I get all the headaches and bad tags with none of the benefits of 'new traffic'.

Mare
12-05-2013, 10:06 AM
Well since I'm not the most amazing looking woman out there this week is holding true to it's reputation. The week after a major holiday and rent week. It's all I could do to make $30. FUCK ME. And on the SM thread someone says they got hacked but no more info was provided. Soooo what did the hackers do? Screw with the $$ or get info? What else would they hack for? Oh wait. They must have hacked and personally put me on the last page. Yup. Maybe that's why my earnings suck this week. ( k- I'm not really on the last page) This tide needs to turn. How the fuck to pay bills on 30?

The past 2 month is dead slow somehow to me. I did very well on one site, in the past few years.
And now: there is 3-4 paying member in my room, who want nothing just keep me "how r u" "where are u" "show...." for hours. If i have a pvt, the guy want nothing just "show the ass" thank leaves.
WTf? Am i do something wrong? I keep on job, 6-8 hours, and earn, relatively nothing. Feel like hopeless, what strange, after a long - massive good time. Have no idea.

Anyone experienced dead slow on Jasmin? :D That was the site, what perfectly worked for me a long time ago. And now, i can do nothing, no matter how i want, what energy i puts in... nothing happens.

I've worked streamate for 6 yrs, the traffic is weird/slow/don't type/dating/chat bot/escorting kind of traffic, I've seen in 13 yrs of camming. It's driving me crazy, I still do well as far as $$$, but its like pulling teeth with these dip shits.

I took tonight off and went to the gym and I feel better at least. Gonna try to hustle as much as I can this weekend and hopefully make something!

nothing makes me feel worse than to have a ton of premiums in my room, most of which have said nothing to me, and be SUPER close to a naked goal.. and no one fucking does anything. I feel like an ogre and a fool. It makes me so upset. fuck camming today. I did not make my goal and people were being tools, including models coming in and trying to freeload or steal my members.

^^^Yuppity, Yup, Yup To all of this above! I've been on one particular site for 3 years almost to the day, and in the past year, I've noticed all of the above happening.
Coming from a sales, and statistics background, coupled with a photographic memory, I do have some thought on why this is happening.
(Please don't bite my head off,-it's just my opinion). I believe that videos should not be given, or sold during gs shows, or in general. From what I have seen, ladies are selling lots of vids that contain material that they wouldn't do in their normal shows. In my opinion, if a guy has your videos, why would he buy anymore shows? even if the vids contain some things you do in the show, the dude can just watch it and get off whenever he wants to, and not have to rely on catching you when you're online.
In my own experience, I notice that when I give away a pic to a paying custie, to thank him, he very seldom returns.
Now I'm not talking about the website's favorite models, who have most of the traffic- They are doing just fine, regardless of the rest of us.
I have noticed that the same screen names pop in to my free chat most everyday, that were in there 3 years ago. (I know some are other models, and bots), but please!! I know I am popular, and don't need the added names in my room. I just ignore those.
One thing that does have me baffled, is when a repeat enters paid chat, and we are about to do his special fetish, and he vanishes, without even coming back into chat to tell me his comp. died, or something. has me wondering if the site is pulling him out, and directing him elsewhere. ( There are a lot of things going on 'behind the scenes), that we will never know.
I understand that the website wants to show that the site has lots of models to choose from, so they are hoping that You will stay online because You are not making the money You need.
Just my 2cents.:twocents:
Since I work from a perspective of "How can I make this situation better?", I'm still in the process of unlocking that clue. When, and if I figure it all out, I will report back with my findings.:detective

All I can say is a particular site i used to work on , whom i went to internexxt with in Hollywood Florida as one of 3 of their cam models.. One of the girls i guess was flirting with the tech support dudes from the site and he told her that yea they do redirect traffic to certain girls and bump them out of privates and send them to the models that they wanna promote.. it sickens me that it is not fair play.. needless to say after learning about their dirty lil secrets and shady activity .. they terminated my contract PERMANENTLY!!.. in fact i have tried to reapply almost yearly for the last 6 yrs...LOL and they refuse me every time...!..lol Only cuz their traffic used to be good so I was willing to start over and put up with it.
