I guess some models figure that on SM you can do things like laundry, etc. without having to worry about a cam score, and you might wind up with some 'just because' tips or 'tips for flashes' in the process. I know a long time ago I had been on SM hanging up some of my laundry while still checking my public chat screen frequently to see when members entered the room. Members popping in and out the room repeatedly gets pretty annoying and boring when you're sitting on your bed with the computer screen in front of you...so to be able to stand up and get some laundry hung up in between public chat convo was cool, and made me feel like I was accomplishing something. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, as long as you're still checking your public chat screen and not neglecting your room.

lol, on IM right? Ive had that guy, hes been thawing that cum for days now. I told him to eat it frozen. Their more in to the talking about and pretend play then the actually act.

Haha yes! Lol I should have told him to just use them as ice cubes or something but he piqued my interest with the cum bong damnit. After almost always seeing the same thing on c2c (jerking their badly lit, disembodied cocks... over and over and over) I'm a sucker for anything I haven't seen before.

Turn that performer in if you can screenshot them doing it. We are able to do some many things within the rules, dont see why some performers have to break them.

Alright, my vent is for people who pull me out of free chat for super short pvts. I had several members with credits in free chat (most of them repeat custies) when this rando pulled me into pvt without even saying hi first. He kept having technical difficulties so he kept popping in and out of pvt and at the end of it all (maybe 4 pvts later) I made a little over $5. Wow, thanks, what a fucking baller, not.

EDIT: Ok, I also need to vent about how fast my room empties out when I start eating on cam. It's not like I'm a particularly gross eater ffs. Drinking on cam is fine, of course, but the second I pull out a donut my room suddenly has tumbleweeds. God forbid a woman actually eat sometimes.

I have a feeling it's because of the holidays but than again i'm not sure. it's been horribly slow with traffic for me but strangely enough the 1st 3 days of the pay period were amazing and i've been lazy the last few days by not logging on at all. LOL. at least were all in this together. Sometimes if it's super slow i'll pop my head into other models chat rooms and will find that there not having much luck either. happy new year honey! xox
Yeeeeeeeeees it was the same for me. The first few days were great. Then around Thursday it started to slow down and it was so dead for me. I got like 1-4 pvts and then did gold shows because I couldn't get a pvt to save my life. It feels so good to know that its not just me.

Thank you...happy NY to you too.

I hate when they take us pvt especially exclusive just to stay very little. I believe performers with member accounts or studio bosses do this on purpose just to empty our rooms, i had this happening many times on SM & it was worse when u had to wait 30 sec. to get back in free chat, now u can get back by clicking the button. So yea, many abuse the system and is not easy to deal with this situation. I was told "but u can reject exclusive if u want".
Yeah, right, this means to loose potential good customers and money cause many guys just come exclusive directly, who knows where they found us and just takes us exclusive.

About eating i see it like this: i dont eat on cam at all, if i wanna eat i log off, enjoy my meal then get back on cam. I saw girls eating on cam and is not looking sexy at all and most important while u eating YOU NOT AVAILABLE FOR SHOWS, therefore guys leave the room.
Procasturbator, i dont try to educate u, just to let u know, this is the Vent thread i opened myself just to be able to vent w.o getting comments/ advice, i just want to explain why guys leave when they see us eating. We just cant eat and entertain men the same time.

Two nights ago this guy on MFC tried taking me private twice, and both times my video froze up the moment the private with him began. That was very unusual, and I hadn't had any issues before he came along. Someone told me it was probably the guy making it do that. I don't know. And then last night a guy with only 59 tokens buzzed me for private on MFC. SMH! Privates on there are 60 tokens per minute, so wtf was he doing buzzing me for private? I told him most models would ban you for pulling something like that. I wish these sites had an option for us where if a guy doesn't have enough tokens for 5 minutes of private or whatever, that he can't buzz us for private.

Yeah, it's funny how the moment I'm seen chewing on a small cookie or potato chip, that's when some random guy is like "I was gonna ask if you wanna go private, but I see you're busy. I'll try some other time." LOL. Yeah, I call BS on that one. And if you were gonna tip me or go private, I would've put the cookie down and gave the flash or private show...duh. God forbid a cam girl in free chat is seen biting on a cookie. We're not talking about piggin' out on a Red Lobster dinner or anything...lol. You can interact with free chat viewers just fine while chewing on something small. I'd think in Procrasturbator's case (with the donut) it'd even get a silly conversation going..."I wanna dunk yo donut, gul!" LMAO. The guys who'd complain about something so petty are probably the same ones who expect to waltz into free chat rooms and find models fingering their pussies/moaning/dirty talking or something.

So sick of customers expecting extras. SO SICK!

In the last two shifts I've gotten the following:


"Uhm if I do a VIP what do I get? What happens if I give you $300 right now what do I get? Just 7 dances... well I'll just pay you for the 2 we've done now then and we'l call it a night."
"Can I have sex with you?"
"What if I just stick it in for a second? Is that OK?"
"Can't you just stick it in your mouth for a minute?"
"What happens in the lap dance booth? You mean you're just gonna dance? Uhm well I wanted more than that so no thanks."
"Can I have sex with you?"
"How much for sex?"
"When do you finish work? Do you want to come by my hotel afterwards?"

UGH!

I'm also so sick of being stereotyped. Some guy didn't believe I had graduated from college last night. Another guy was totally shocked I used the word "disconcerting" and it took him a whole dance to get his brain un-blown from the fact that being a stripper doesn't make me a TOTAL FUCKING IDIOT.

Well fuck you too, SM. Even when IML sucks it doesn't $12-an-hour suck.

Also, just out of coincidence apparently it's been exactly 90 days since my last rating. Got 2 tonight but I guess those don't count since I rolled back to 4 stars tonight for the first time since I started camming... welp whatever I'm not going to stick around to change it. Might pop back in at some point to try to make $8 to make payout but then again I might not.

A guy emailed me like 4 months ago for a custom. He wanted me to ride on a kiddy ride and I told him there aren't any that I could legally get on. There's malls and supermarkets with them but security is gonna kick me off and off the property. There's an amusment park but I have no kid plus I'd get kicked off and would be a waste of $50 to get in. Plus all the people and kids around and I'm gonna upload that to a porn site? No thank you. So he wanted me to crush a stroller I said ok look for one on amazon I'll add it to my wish list, you buy it, when I get it I'll do the video. Some how we agreed on a beach ball. It was like September so there weren't beach balls in the store anymore. So I add one to my wishlist inform him it's there and he never replied again. Well today he's back!! Again wanting a kiddy ride. Then a stroller. I now don't have the room for a stroller so told him no. I explained I can only record in a corner of my room. A stroller will take up more than that space. So he goes and finds all these big pieces he wants me to crush like a table, baby swing, high chair, ext. he just frustrating. I do NOT have the room! He's not understanding that once I put the stroller in the corner I won't be able to be in the frame or be able to fit at all. UGH!

When you have made it very clear to your boyfriend that he CANNOT connect to your router while you're working because it fucks up your feed. So you ask multiple times if he's on it and you believe him although it says two devices are connected. So you unplug the router (to test him) and he comes in throwing a tantrum that you ruined his game.

Yet when your check sucks because of a shitty feed he's going to bitch and moan that you aren't making enough money.

If you want a decent paycheck out of me then STAY THE FUCK OFF MY INTERNET WHILE I'M WORKING!

However, feel free to use it when I'm not.

$0 in 2 hours. Despite the fact that January is notoriously slow, I convinced myself to logon today because I am trying to establish a regular schedule, and cam at least 20 hours a week. Being a noob, I get very little traffic anyway, but today was absolutely treacherous. I was planning on staying logged on for 4 hours, but figured I wouldn't ruin my placement anymore than I already have with my 0% paid time and $0 tips. The most interaction I got was a couple beggars, and my one creepy regular who decided NOT to get a private, but to hang out in my room telling me he is in love, I am the only one for him, and how he wants to marry me in the spring. Yuck! It was like torture. Not to mention I was freezing my ass off even with my space heater on full blast. I am trying hard not to get discouraged. Please tell me it will get better!

^ it will get better :D Have you tried working 8 hour shifts maybe? I find that sometimes I make NOTHING in my first two hours, which can be discouraging. Then I take a break, go on later, and BAM, $90!

I also find that evening/nights work better for me. I went on yesterday morning and it was like a ghost town.

I haven't tried an 8 hour shift yet. The longest I have ever been logged on is around 5 hours. I have tried working at night, but prefer a day schedule, so I am working to establish some day time customers for now. If it doesn't work out as I am hoping, I will definitely add some night shifts in the near future. I really appreciate your encouragement and suggestions. I am really trying to stick with this, because I know it will eventually be worth it! :)

^^^ Same for me, did nothing in 2 hrs on SM last nite (i went online kinda late) then went offline to save paid %, tried imlive for an hr also with zero result then went to bed pretty upset. Will try tonite again going online earlier even i feel weak & tired with this cold i still have. I hope it'll get better cause it cant get any worse lol. I am positive :)

Edited to Add: i also wonder how some performers are able to work long hrs shifts doing free chat for example if the shift starts slow? I mean on SM for example, the longer u stay without making money (or making very little) the more placement suffers same like % in paid and u sink even deeper i feel (i think rigged placement spots are excluded).

If i dont make money or make too little in the 1st 1-2 hrs i consider is not worth to stay on, that's what i experienced soo far. You guys say u start slow and sometimes after a few hrs online it picks up and u start banking? Any explanation for this? Maybe being logged in a certain number of hrs at once gives something like traffic boost or so? Never tried this cause i loose interest, smile & good mood if i dont make money or ok money, cant deal with free chat feeling crap, paid chat only is different but free chat?! Thoughts pls? TY

Rhiiannon
01-07-2014, 10:52 AM
I didn't know not making money makes your position drop. But I find that sometimes more people come online or visit the room after time. Sometimes my regulars will come online or just new people. Sometimes taking a break and coming back to it helps. Usually I'll stop for a lunch break and come back (regardless of if I'm making anything or not because I gotta eat lol).

I'm just a money hungry crazy one so I literally cannot sleep if I don't make any, that's why I always stick with it :P

It's a numbers game, If you stay on one more hour there is always a chance you'll make more money... for instance.. I was having a sucky day on Sunday.. and I ended up staying on past my 5 hours and someone went to pvt for 45 mins to chat so I made 82 bucks off him... the first 5 hours... only 120.....if I hadn't stayed on my whole shift I would have missed out on that 82 bucks and left disgruntled....

Right, this was always a dilemma cause for me it rarely got better after a slow start, i felt like all 'traffic doors' shut on me & i was sinking. but maybe i should just stay on and wait? on the other hand lower placement & lower % in paid lowers the chance for good traffic the next shift. yes is a game & u never know what is going to happen next and what really affects the money flow.

Well that's why I mostly just stick to my schedule.. especially if I am burnt out... 5 hours a day and done! who cares how much I made.. tomorrow I could make double that.. in what I have seen in the last 11 yrs on cam.. it all averages out as long as you are consistent... consistency is the key to everything in life. And sometimes I am far to fed up to stick to the 5 hours for the day and oh well.

SM. $34 and something cents. In 108 min. Has not been this bad since my first week on sm. Maybe day time (the only time I can cam while not scared of being caught) is not my time. Say it ain't so...

Might need to move to a different site. But token sites scare me!!!

Ugh I set my self a goal of making a 100 bucks a day (daytime hours) it's like pulling teeth for me to get 50 the past couple days. If it wasn't for my humiliation guys I would be so screwed :/. I hope things pick up tomorrow and Friday.
