Big hugs to you! I've learned that nothing is Utopia and being safe doesn't make you grow. I am sure it will get better.
Thanks cutie!! It is actually getting better every day, and I am making more and more money every week since I started knuckling down and working more!
But ghost-town nights, and days where I'm just not feeling it, DAYUM I miss my boring job where I could just go in and not put any effort in!! LOL

I wish I have your patience 'cause if I get on cam and it's ghost town, I just can't sit there! That's why I'm working a week and off a week, LOL!

Is it super slow for anyone else today? I'm in my usual placement, but sometimes I have no one in my room, which is really unusual for me.

Mfc has been up and down for me. But what's new. I hate who when I get on cam at certain times I make nothing and at times when I'd rather be in bed I make good money. I'm so frustrated with camming. I don't wanna sit at sm while it's dead bc that's boring and frustrating. But mfc kills me sometimes too. I hate how butterfaces etc do so well on mfc I feel like it's not fair to me. I just can't seem to get used to the face that life isn't fair.

Streamate has been a pain in the ass for me lately, and I've been consistently on for 5-8 hours the past few days. And I do mean absolute shit. However, staying on through the slow time is at least giving me some money. 35% of nothing is still nothing, I figure. I tried a couple gold shows too, since I always get at least a couple pledges for those (can't do too many or I'll throw my keyboard though lol). I'm really getting the hang of consistently working though, and for that at least, I'm grateful. It's picking back up a little bit today, and I hope it keeps up, since I need to make a big chunk of money in the next 4-6 days.

Ok, camming officially sucks for me, again. I've made shit this week. This week I've made only $40 over what I made my first night. Epic fail.

Camming sucks today for me. I haven't been able to convince myself to get on cam which is a guaranteed $0.
But tomorrow is a new day, and there is no use beating myself up for taking a day off.

A lot of times "butterfaces" have A LOT more personality than "hot girls". Personality will get you much further in camming than a flawless figure or gorgeous face.

I was on MFC ALL DAY. Well from 2pm to 3am with a 2 hour break....and I made $30. And after I logged off and decided to perv on some chicks, I see a girl get 300+ tokens in like 5 minutes for rubbing her boobs slowly in her shirt. Mad props to her lol but it made me feel like even more of a failure. FUCK...
And I finally got the guts to get on SM for the first time since I got approved a month ago lol and made nada....zilch. I had like 4 people enter and leave my room in the span of 2 hours.
LJ is the only site that I'm getting privates on and that's because I just got switched to a master account so I could create a performer account in the nude category (I've been doing hot flirt)

Arrgghh!! Stupid basic on MFC just jinxed me lol. He got mad because I wouldn't show him my ass/pussy etc. for free and said "She's probably on her period"....2 hours later I stop to take a break and BAM! Period shows up -___- FML

I am so angry about last night. I basically took a longish break this month, and when I finally decide to go back online, I get 2 horrible customers that buy really long shows with me but rate them low (3 stars). I thought... "hm I guess I'm just not that good tonight." Which doesn't make sense, because they wrote how much they liked my shows. Those 2 ratings somehow made my 5 star rating turn into a 4.5 rating. I just got so pissed that I logged off for the rest of the night. Also, something really weird happened... when I was in exclusive chat, this guy was somehow able to switch to premium. I didn't realize they were able to do that.

That totally shouldn't happen. Uh... if that's going to happen on a regular basis, I'll not be using exclusive chat anymore, or will be upping my premium rate.

Camming doesn't suck for me as much as it sucks that I can't seem to keep myself logged in for more than an hour. If I'm not making money or it's slow, being tipped, I've been just logging off and bailing, out of boredom. I can't for the life of me remember what I used to do to entertain myself for so many hours! It's so hard to just smile and keep up the energy when guys are just coming in and out, without talking. I feel like I used to have more regs that would just hang out and tip every few minutes and chat it up, between times when guys would wander in and go straight to Private. I feel so distracted, lately and unable to keep focus on the idea of waiting through to get the next few bucks towards my goal. I've made what I want, for the period but rounding up that last $100 is killing me! I guess I'll put it away for tonight and get back on, tomorrow. My Sunday routine was always my favorite since after six hours of camming, there's always cartoons and dramas to watch, on TV. *sigh*

He's an ASS. I've gotta hand it to you ladies who are patient enough to deal with beggin-ass/demanding guests/basics...lol. I keep them muted at all times, and I don't regret my decision to do so. I used to have two basics I thought were cool, but I later realized that both of them had an agenda (they basically thought I'd give them my personal info...lol).

I saw it last weekend an I loved it. I can't wait until the second one comes out. I'm a comic book geek lol I've seen almost all of the marvel comic movies I even watch the cartoons too.

I forced myself to stay online yesterday, despite of all the quickies and dead periods and acutally a dude who's been visiting my room without a single word for over a month started to talk to me. I thought meh, the lurker now wants free attention, but it was quiet, so I didn't kick or ban him I just talked instead. And suprise, suprise, he came in for a 37 minute long excl which was mostly about HIM, I didn't have to work to hard.. I should force myself today too... but somehow I just.can.not.

I can 1 up you. I have made ZERO. I was on a total of probably 60 minutes. I even tried lowering my price. It made no difference.
Odd though that people keep adding me to favorites. Maybe the bus of horny, rich, loaded guys will back up to my cam door soon. LOL

Streamate has been excellent for me the past few days... but mostly because I've been getting long exclusives from a guy who signed up through my cammodels link, which pays EXTREMELY well. I lucked out for sure.
I highly recommend you promote your cammodels link. If you can get some (paying) customers to sign up, it may very well make up for the loss of income some of you are experiencing.

I tried the smile like a crazy person technique yesterday on MFC. No matter what people told me I thought of something nice and smile. After 1 1/2 hrs my face hurt and I got zero tokens. I did it as a experiment lol trying tonight on SM the same technique...

i made a grand totsl of 25 on MFC
SM is NOT working for me...I don't know why...
maybe I'm too bubbly or some such??
I expected it to be a lot more like OHC in the sense that it didn't' need to be a circus like MFC
and now that I've been on a few times I don't know WHAT to think...
I only ever have 2-3 ppl in my room at once
no one says much
ive had 2 privates on there for like...10 mins...
and xpeeps STILL hasn't approved me!!!
goddamn i need another site... ><
