I will admit - traffic has been pretty slow this past week.
It hasn't helped that I had big problems with the encoder and staying connected to the site, and so my placement tanked from being online and not being in private. Now instead of the luxury of spot 1 or 2 on the site, I'm in row 3 or 4 which can make a big difference in traffic as it turns out. It's hard to do ANYTHING when the site is not functioning properly to begin with. This week was the first time I had problems like this, which just happened to be the same week the traffic took a dive.
However, aside from that, I have also noticed that traffic in general has been very slow. Most of the time when others have made threads complaining about traffic, I personally was not seeing a dip, this time I am - for whatever reason.
I do agree that being positive and in a good mood, smiling with sunshine flying out your ass at all times, is going to get you your best possible outcome... like Fridays said no one wants to pay for a whiny bitch... this is a great thing to do in general. Be positive. Smile. This will help you get more shows. Yes. Okay fine.
What my problem has been this past week is not necessarily no traffic, it's no PAYING TRAFFIC. And this week I did something that is not like me at all, I fucking went off on people in my chat. Like, not as bad as "some" people here have done..... but it was pretty bad none the less. I had been happy bubbly in a great mood nice smiling, ETC ETC ETC..... trying Gold Show after Gold Show count down not even getting so much as 5 pledges...... 30 guys in the room..... THIRTY which is always MORE THAN ENOUGH to make a $100 goal with a $5 buy in...... it's always worked for me with those numbers...... this week.... NOTHING. Not so much as 5 people joining the show...... yet a room FULL of people SITTING THERE. Not talking. Not pledging. NOTHING. Finally I quit trying the count down and said, "okay fine, we will do private shows then". The room STAYED FULL. 25-30 guys SITTING THERE. NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. THAT is when I went off on them.
Why the fuck sit in a girls chat room and do absolutely NOTHING. Don't talk. Don't join. N O T H I N G. I wasn't doing anything besides sitting there, I wasn't giving anything away for free... there was nothing to sit there and SEE. SO yah. I had a bad week.
This week was awful. It was VERY STRANGE. But, the last time I said I had an awful week I was surprised the following week with one of the best weeks I've had. So I have to remind myself, and you ladies as well, that it's temporary. It WILL get better. And it's not JUST you guys..... take it from a model who easily makes $100/hr..... it has been SLOW this week.
Keep your chins up though, it will pass. :)
