I've noticed that. Days on a lot of sites seem a lot busier.
Its crazy how I had people talking to me early in the morning and going pvt. I actually made my goal on a Wednesday and it was pretty easy to make at that. I've been on 30min this evening an all I've gotten is people popping in and out of my room and its been hella quiet. The traffic is like totally different. I think I will be working mornings for a while.

^Days often seem busier for me because there are less girls online so less competition for traffic. But more traffic doesn't always mean more money...The day time guys are often "at work" or broke.

Cam site members who argue with models and act like everything they do is for the model's sake. Like this dude on MFC just now who I almost banned from my room. I told him that I don't do masturbation in public chat ever, and he wasn't letting it go. He even had the nerve to ask me if it's because I'm shy? OMG, not that shit again...just because a cam girl refuses to do what you ask does not mean she's shy! Believe it or not, this dude finally took me private when he realized I wasn't backing down. That was a relief for me because this has been another shitty pay period, so I'm really glad to have gotten his 476 tokens.
In private chat he was saying he likes to do things in public because it gives other guys in the room the chance to also join in on the tipping. Lol. I reminded him that when a model says no, she doesn't do such and such, he should respect her wishes. I was also thinking in the back of my head "Yeah, and models who do public shows end up getting recorded/posted elsewhere a lot more often than models who save the good stuff for private....."

^ If it makes you feel any better I'd bet you dollars to donuts that he doesn't even have a daughter. I used to do a lot of daddy/daughter roleplay and their life situation is usually waaay different than the fantasy (college guys, lifelong bachelors, etc) and IME guys who say things like that do it for the shock value. Doesn't make the sentiment any less gross but at least it's probably not based in reality.

I've made a little over $8 in the past hour from two short privates... both of which decided to cut and run without saying goodbye. The second one came, wanted to try again and then when I started taking off my clothes to try to get him hard again he left! Wtf. I'm starting to take this personally.

Mornings are better for me too! I don't know why. Though everyone lately has been broke. "I have no tokens right now but..." why the hell are you on here with no tokens? Would you go to a strip club with no money? Then don't come in a model's room with not even a dollar!

I'm hearing the end of the month crickets today. I checked - nothing spectacular going on in anyone's room. Sigh.

Camming sucks because I pushed myself too far yesterday and now I hurt like hell. I don't know how some of you pull off all day shifts. After 2 or 3 hours, my body just calls it quits even when I use glass toys, coconut oil and even lidocaine. :( I wish I could pull off longer shifts. I would work all day if I could.
Procrasturbator
02-27-2014, 07:40 AM
^ Have you tried using toys less? A lot of girls who use toys make it a habit to not pull one out unless asked. I've never used toys and only get asked maaaaaybe every few shifts. You shouldn't need to numb your body to do your job!

SM needs to do better with these glitches and traffic cause we are giving too much of our hard earned cut to them for them to not help us out with the damn traffic. I almost wanted to cry today because of this frustrating situation. But I'll get back on today and hopefully I can make my goal. Sick of the same freeloaders coming in my room asking me what am I doing today over and over and they know wtf I'm doing.

02-27-2014, 08:02 AM
I started advertising BJ and fetish shows a lot more to cut down on penetration. When I get more of those, I can work a lot longer, but I get a decent amount of requests for toys still. I just bought a smaller one, so hopefully that will help. I'm pretty sensitive with those kinds of things first place though, since I have chronic bladder/pelvic pain, which is why I had lidocaine in the first place. I'm usually a little sore after a shift, but not too bad. This is just a particularly bad case. :( If smaller toys don't end up helping, I'll be switching to fingers only.

Oh some guy was talking about dog cumming on my breasts the other day.. In pvt.. I just sat there and didn't even say one fricken word .. an awkward silence til he left...I was just like .. I am not playing this game but i'll take your money til you leave!!... camgirl FTW!...lol
So I wasn't the only one being asked to puke on cam, to have a dog lick me, to send them poop, and other ridiculous requests on Saturday? :D
Traffic is shit lately. Maybe I'm doing a bad time (12-6pm US time) but damn. My best times have been early in the morning, but I can't always get on early because of work. Hmm.

So I've been doing indie shows (which I previously did only for established regs) and there's one thing that's weirding me out... they don't use up all their time! IDK, I'm so used to guys trying to take up my time for free that it's bizarre to me that they'll hang up with a few minutes left. Wtf. I'm naked and giving you attention! That you already paid for!
I guess it doesn't really piss me off, it's actually refreshing (less work for me!), but it's so weird to me. And vaguely insulting.

That's the reason I love indy shows because several of them are 5 min men and I have a 10 min minimum. I always tell them time doesn't roll over so be sure to purchase only the time they need. I had this reg pay $260 for a 60 min show and has only used up 30 min. He purchased it over a month ago and I told him today he has 48 hours to cash in or he's going to have to rebook.

I, for the record, think prostitution should be legal because it's two consenting adults making an exchange, but that's a whole 'nother thread...lol.
Usually, a guy who refers to camming as 'prostitution' is being a judgmental ass, and that alone would be enough for me to avoid any further conversation with him about my camming. Every time I've seen guys in models' room use the word 'prostitution' they were being negative and judgmental.
They don't even have to know what I do and think I'm an easy lay. Two guys I hung out once with and kinda liked but then the next day all the so when we hooking up texts started. The second guy was like yea I understand you'll sleep with me when you're ready I just like talking about it blah blah blah. Well we hung out again and he kept grabbing my boob or trying to put my hand on his dick over his pants. That guy still randomly texts to say hi but I'll never see him again because I told him I didn't want to touch his dick.

Girls, I do not know if you believe in Astrology or not but we have been in a Mercury Retrograde since 02/05.. which means for 3 weeks anything and everything can go wrong. This is the time of year you break up with someone, fight with everyone, Everything you own breaks, you have miscommunications with others, every site on the net has a problem and doesn't act right.. It has been the worst 3 weeks I have experienced to the point it made me so crazy I decided to at least step away from my facebook... But the good news is! Today is the last DAY!! NO more for 3 more months haha..

I have developed quite possibly the worst habit ever of showering, shaving, putting on my make up, all that jazz... then taking a nap. Which of course turns into a full 8 hours and by the time I wake up my make up is gone. I've done this at least 4 out of the past 6 times I've gotten ready for cam.
It's like once I'm ready for cam I have no reasonable excuse not to cam so my only way out is to go to sleep. It's kind of ingenious and totally infuriating.

Someone else needs to post in this thread, you guys are making me feel like I have anger issues. :P
OK so IML's idea of fetishes is just ridiculous. It's getting to be LJ-esque. Anyone who works there or reads the IML thread knows about Fetish Galaxy (newish associated site where they feature fetish hosts.) To be featured there you need to take a pic demonstrating each of your chosen fetishes. I haaaate taking pics so even though I mainly do fetish I decided to take a pass. But now they've implemented this thing on the host page that tells you if "your fetish status is incomplete!" OK, what the hell, I could always use more traffic. I figure I'll give it another look.
Yeah, still no. For cuckolding they suggest a chastity device. Wtf? I don't own a chastity device. I do A LOT of cuckolding shows and no cuck has ever even brought up a chastity device even in the context of fantasy. I don't even know what I could do to demonstrate cuckoldry in a solo photo except maybe a creampie and there's no way in hell I'm putting that up as a photo for any freeloader to see.
Same thing with feet. Uhhhh no I'm not putting up a pic of my feet for free. Almost all of the (exclusively) foot fetishists I've had go pvt to see feet, go "mmmmm bb", maaaaybe stick around a minute or two for a faux foot job then blow their wad and leave. Why would I show them for free??? And--as someone said in the IML thread when Fetish Galaxy first came out--why are they recommending "nail polish, anklets, toe rings"? Nail polish, maaaaybe (though bare is big too.) But anklets? Fucking TOE RINGS? It's like telling girls that vanilla guys want them to vajazzle their tits. They just want tits!
Bonus round: Cum play. "Sperm or sperm-like substances." Sure, let me go grab my microscope.
It would be nice if their fetish sections weren't obviously designed by vanilla people whose only knowledge of fetish (or, apparently, biology) comes from CSI and Wikipedia.

I can't remember my Clips4Sale login info. :banghead: When that shit went down with C4S girls being dumped from daily pay (and switching back to the original once-a-month C4S pay), C4S changed my login username because they wanted to protect me from PJ being able to access the account. And now I can't remember what my new fucking login name is, so I gotta sit here trying a bunch of different possibilities.
EDIT: Okay, good. I just did a password recovery, and the e-mail has all of the log-in info that I need. Whew!
The only problem now is that it doesn't look like my account's been credited with recent C4S orders. It's still saying $0, so I sent them an e-mail.

Same like ImLive, they not native english employees on these sites and are not familiar with the nature of these acts, the western culture about fetishes, etc. It's not an insult to non native english speakers by the way but they should really get educated with these things. On IML i simply gave up on the fetish categories, none of the old pics were accepted & i did not bother to put up new ones cause i know they wont see things as i do. I am more pissed on LiveJasmin now cause i wanted to give the site a new try but they rejected my profile picture cause i took it with the webcam, it had fucking 10 megapixels and very nice & clear but well, it was still a webcam pic. The old Sony video camera i used to work with before is not charging anymore and even i could repair it & try to take pics with, it has only one megapixel even cristal clear image and LJ wants a minimum resolution of 1200x900+ so it's not going to work. If i borrow the digital camera from my brother, who is going to take pictures for me while posing sexy? My son? HA! I hate how stupid these guys are, IML & LJ staff.

I HATE TROLLS, hope every single one spills water all over there computers so they can't get online ever again!
The best one was- Troll wanted me to prove im in US since he only supports US girls.... I have an accent, so he came out of the woods calling me a lair... because I have an accent I am lying that im in US... F*** you! I probably pay for your welfare check with my tax $$$ any way... After I told him that he left, must of hit nail on a head...

I hate the new owner, or marketing team of that site with a a passion. Also the HD quality must be "blue ray quality", otherwise your not HD enough for them. US gals and boys loose on that site since we are so far from their servers that it s hard to get a decent upload for that site, ( i get usually an upload between 5 to 6 MB, but when i tested it to their servers it was only 0.7 MB?!,a lso they play around remotely with my settings and somebody obviously doesn't like me) and they lower our placement based on that. I was doing decent on that site until the change of the ownership.
