MR, I don't do hour goals usually. I work as many hours as I have to work to hit my monetary goal. I don't have trouble working the hours, so it doesn't motivate me to say I have to stay on cam a certain amount of time. I take a lot of breaks, and I do other things while I'm camming.

I've been falling really far behind on admin though, so I put that in my time goals for this week to remind myself. Admin for me simply means responding to e-mails (which I usually do between shows), and updating my customer block list, which I usually do at the beginning of a break. Or if I'm crunched for time, that IS my break :(

I edit and upload clips when it's slow for camming (while camming). It saves me SO much time to do it that way. But I still find that clips are consuming an additional 20 hrs/wk. I would love to be able to cut that in half. I may have to cut out customs in order to do that. They're energy leeches.

Wow! Y'all makin' me sad I got out of camming! Why wasn't this thread around 3 months ago?! Ok, can industry people join in? If so, I'm down for putting 35 hours a week in on my website! :P

I did over 5 hours yesterday, next to half a day at my vanilla job. Just logged on again to do at least 3 hours today, maby ill make it 6 depending on how much my infected wisdom tooth is bugging me.

I'm on track. 7.5 hours down, 12 to go. I added a half hour to my goal because I'm anal. (not that kind of anal)

Doing okay so far. Was hoping to make more yesterday, but had to quit early due to my over-heated laptop. =/

Still motivated though! Have to make at least $364/day until Saturday to hit my goal. Hopefully my computer will hold up. You can do it, little buddy...

You are my idol.


I'm at 7/35 so far but might have to leave town Friday instead of Sunday like I had planned and have a house guest thurs-sun coming(a friend who comes to work the local SC and will be here even if I'm not) so either way my camming chances will be affected...just more of a reason to work extra long tonight and reach 35 hours early on this week.

4/20

Deep cleaned my kitchen today and I can hardly even sit up and open my eyes now lol. Worst part is, I'm not even totally finished yet! I should be able to get some good 4hr blocks in all week long though :)

Think today will be light on hours. Looking a bit grim on there, and this might be my chosen day off. Gonna work on clips for a bit then see if I can get back on cam.

I'm on DP so my goal is for the whole month. After tomorrow I don't have school or my day job until spring semester starts so I plan on working 25 hours a week on sites and make 2 clips a day. Considering I've only been doing 10 hours a week and took 3 weeks off I think its a decent increase for now

Only $1506.28 left to make in 4 days! XD I haven't been putting the hours in. This changes today!
But yeah, if I don't, no sweat. <3 I've been getting so impatient so quickly, so I am consciously employing the laid-back mentality on cam to help me.

I still know I can do it if I try hard enough.

Way to horribly fail my own challenge.

My entire family, all 5 of us, have the flu. Sunday I was starting to feel cruddy, managed to work 4 hours anyway and by the time I got offline my fever was 102! It has been the most awful week so far for me. My husbands fever got to 105, I almost took him to the ER but we were able to get it down. All 3 of the kids have been going between 100-103. This is just the worst ever. And it HAD to happen this week. :( :( :(

Tonight I'm feeling a little better, fever is only 100 but I'm going back to bed and hoping that I can at least pull something off for Thursday and Friday. So I'm at 4/35. :( I'm going to extend my challenge and see what I can pull off for the next pay period. Maybe I can make the first pay period of the year super awesome. *fingers crossed*

Geez what a failure! :( I hope everyone else is doing a lot better than I have been!!!!!!

33/60 done

It's going slower than planned, but I started my period 5 days early so I have to stop every hour to change my sponge. TMI? :)

I feel for you, Sarah. My family had the flu a couple months ago, it was horrible and I missed almost 2 weeks of work. Ugh. Hope you get better soon!

I definitely won't be making my goal this week. But I'll be working hard today & tomorrow and hopefully ending on a high note, even if it's not the "highest" note.

Hell yes you can join.

I'm doing mine backwards. I want LESS time on CAM and more MONEY. <---Work smart not hard...Im tired of hustling hard for hours when I can make more hustling HARD for less hours. Gotta whip these men..whip whip whip. Im tired of their bullshit, no money Im off. They can get me while I am on. I dont need them, they need me. Im the reason they logged on. (That is how I will look at it from now on, it has worked) ;) They came to my room, i didnt come to them ;)

Aww, poor Sarah :(

Cam_Model_Jess, there's no such thing as TMI here lol.

I decided to go balls to the walls with my deep clean earlier this week and I finished it early at the expense of some cam time. I got up to 9/20 today. 45% of my hourly goal and 55% of my financial goal have been tackled, muahahahahaha! I also enabled phone for the first time, that was fun. Tomorrow I'm busy for at least half the day, so we'll see what I can squeeze in, and I guess Saturday will be a marathon then!

I think Sarah should be able to do the "last week" next week?

The pay period ends next week on the 29th. Checks should process on the 31st. They prob will not get sent until the 3rd bc of the New year Holiday.

Im pretty sure SM will include the very last week of Dec.

YOUR NOT A FAILURE Sarah and you know this and started a good end of new year goal ... so there, nanabooboo..GET BETTER ;)

I'm feeling WAY BETTER today, finally so I'm aiming for 8 hours this evening and into the early morning.

Hoping I can at the very least pull off $500... not sure how things have been going traffic wise since I've been offline all week. Would love to pull off $700-800 tho.

Good luck tonight Sarah!

I did 27 out of 30 so far, and I will be camming tomorrow morning also, so I will make my goal!!

12-21-2012, 05:37 PM
17/50! I'm going until the end of the month for my goal, so should exceed it. I think the extra hours are really going to show in a bigger check! :)

Okay so tonight was the last night of the pay period I could cam, I planned on going all week but my family changed holidays plans last minute... While I didn't reach my hourly goal because of my Internet basically not working at all tues/weds night I still made my highest check ever :) thank you so much for the inspiration Sarah and good luck to the rest of you guys for the rest of the week (well tomorrow lol)

I made it! I just finished my 30 hours and I am so happy I joined this challenge!

-I gained a lot of regs
-My hourly average went up during the week, thats making me look forward to the future
-I made my biggest check ever!
-After pulling of several 5-6 hours shifts my 3 hour shifts felt so easy

Thank you Sarah for setting this up and thanks everyone for the inspiration! I hope it will rain $$ for you all today!

55/ 60. Almost there :) I'm at my monetary goal for the week, but I'm going to try to work a bit longer on camming to get a little extra then switch to clips.

Mlle_Mystere
12-22-2012, 11:14 AM
I went in to my vanilla job for 3 hours yesterday morning and all hell broke loose. I'm still at 9/20 and need to pack for the holidays and do clips, so I'll be happy if I cam at all today. I'm setting a secondary goal for next week - maybe I'll make it 20 hours over the 2 weeks combined? I'm going away for 4 days, so I think that would be reasonable.

Success!!!! Attained 100.8% of goal... would have quit earlier if not for this challenge, so TY Sarah!!! :-)

I made it too :) Sorry I didn't update sooner. I was using the last few hours before the new pay period to bake mooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr coooooookies :)

Oh, and I exceeded my monetary goal by $45. I had the goal by Saturday morning, but I kept going for a while just to see what would happen, and b/c I hadn't met my quota for hours yet.

SarahTime
12-23-2012, 02:27 PM
Awww you guys are so awesome!!!! I'm totally jealous!!!!!

I was able to pull off my $500 Friday night but only barely... but I also didn't stay on as long as I intended either because I was feeling crappy, only did 6 hours.

I can only work Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday this pay period so hoping to do at least 20 hours.

Ugh I'm so mad I got sick :( At least I'm finally feeling better though. 2013 is going to rock for me, I just know it! :D

Awesome to hear all the awesome successes!
I haven't been working near 150 hours, but I also delved into another aspect of the industry that gave me the money as if I was working 150 hours towards the end of the year on cam, haha.

Anyway, back to the camming game. I'm going to hit it 3am-9am, so a 6 hour shift is in the making, Wooooo!

26/50. Still have till end of 2012 for my hours. I skipped a few days but have done some longer sessions and it paid off. Link this morning when I had a personal best! Thanks Sarah! :)
