Going back to college after being a camgirl helped me sharpen my skills and toughen me completely. Like, I have thicker skin to handle jerks (thank god). Last time I attended college was back in 2009 when the economy tanked and I lost my job. I started college then and was so lost. I was broke. When my other classmates could afford lunch, I had to go without eating. It was a horrible time in my life. I dropped out, couldn't find work and lost my house. I didn't find out about camming until 2012. Even then, I didn't have it together.
This time around in 2017, I not only can pay rent & bills, I can coast through college with the fact that camming CAN work around my school. I'm really lucky. I don't have to worry about some jerk of a boss saying that they won't work around my school. I bitch about camming a lot, but we are really lucky that we can hop on earn cash any time of the day. This job takes hard discipline.

Camming rocks because i need a break from the strip club- it's been slow there lately and I prefer camming right now. And I was about to log off tonight when I got a nice long 40 min exclusive 🙂 And it's the first time I've made $1,000+ in one week on cam in a long time... I know if I put in the time I can make my goals. I'm going to try to stay more motivated in 2017.

I´ve been off for a couple of months and I´m on again only doing skype shows...surprisingly made my goal with no stress, no draining hours on cam, no glitches, excelent quality since I don´t have any lag, watching movies between shows, playing games, chatting with my bf, it felt like if I didn´t worked at all. I´m so happy, I really needed the money and the idea of camming hours on free chat just terrifies me. Wish every week is like this.

Hey Slothy how do you put up with the insanely long wait for cheque payments from NF?

^^I just treat anything that's not on daily pay as savings or money for long-term big things, rather than day-to-day spending. I couldn't rely on NF for my bills, no way! But it's good to know that, say, next year's tuition pot is filling up.

I was having a really bad day today, like my husband made me cry 30 minutes before my scheduled shift kind of bad. Despite being puffy faced and pissed off I forced myself to get on anyway. I'm so glad I did! My regulars turned out and I'm in a much better mood. I'm still feeling a little down so I might log out early but camming still rocks!

Did my first cam show, ever last night. I decided to try it since doing independent fetish work takes time to build clientele. I didn't feel like logging on and was going to put it off until today, but I'm glad I went ahead and logged on. Only got one private show, but I was only on for an hour. I missed out on a second one because I couldn't figure out how to turn on the sound lol. But other than that a very positive experience. Looking forward to making some more money today and tonight!

Thank you! I did even better today. I'm still making peanuts because im forced to have a lower rate as a newbie.
But if this growth keeps up at this rate, I see myself making some good money soon!
I'm so happy I found this board. There is SO MUCH great information on here.
I started as a stripper a few years ago. The strip club isn't a viable option for me where I live now. So I'm doing fetish camming and I love it! Wish I had of started this ages ago.

I raised my prices cuz I didn't want to be so cheap anymore after talking to a fellow camgirl on the same site, who is way more successful and has very high prices. I make 100 dollars now with way lesser effort and I am hella happy! I made about 2k dollars this month!! I am thinking about to also cam on another site. I am struggling to decide between Streamate and naked.com, heard both are fine, just Streamate records gold shows apparently and puts it on XXX websites, ew no. But I heard people make good money on it.

Camming rocks because I'm as sick as a dog but don't have to 'call off' work or worry about getting others sick. Oh the joys of working from home and making guys pop through the internet. :D
ETA: Just made $500+ just to text for a few hours. I guess being sick has its good qualities. Camming rocks because I was about to go on cam and wear myself out. Now I can relax in bed, sip tea and text, instead.

I reached a midset, where camming (but better to say that trolls and awful man there) aint bothering my mood anymore, aint affect my personal life. I dont get pissed down, if it s slow, I think I made myself to handle this shit pretty well, and in this case, camming rocks, no matter what.
I earned pretty money anyway, since I m back again.

I bought only one thing in the Black Friday sales: a ginormous strap-on. I would like to dedicate today's success to its unnatural knobbly head.
Also, camming rocks, because I've hit my low weekly goal in under 10 hours total.

Even with two extremely embarrassing days this week I have still smashed my goal - yeah I would say that camming definitely rocks right now. That attitude is what sustained me working the dead shifts and forced my ass back on the next day.
It's working for me right now.

Last night I decided to take one more night off because I had a pretty heavy period which is unusual for me and I watched some TV. On a show called 20/20 on ABC, they did this news story on how "Hidden America" is barely making ends meet. We all now how that story goes. Most stories were the same, person works 110 hours a week for $7.25, commutes 80 miles/2 hours each day for shit job, has 3 kids to feed and no money.
It made me think of camming of course. Here I am with two degrees and I am so thankful camming rocks because it allows me to work 3-7 hours a day while I work on my other business during the day and grow it with great results. On my worse day camming I make more in one day than most of these people make in a whole week. I know I'm lucky. Camming rocks when you see how other people do the daily grind.

So somebody randomly came into my room and was like "omg your perfect I wanna buy you shoes"
and bought literally 600 dollars worth of stuff of my amazon list and made me add me and my husband matching Nike's.
Im kinda skeptical because I heard people can cancel orders and stuff like that but i swear if that shit ends up on my door im gonna be one happy hoe.

Next time, ask for a giftcard. You probably won't see them but here's to hoping!

If they get cancelled will it go back to "unpurchased" on my list?

I wasn't planning on cammimg tonight, I was super tired and just not in the mood for free chat, so tonight I just happened to open up Sykpe and poof there was one of my regs. We did an 1.5 hr show of basically just shooting the shit and I made $300. I just love easy unexpected money. Us cam girls are a spoiled breed :)

One of the slowest days I've had... $150 for 3hours.
Most of my time was in freechat....but it's okay because I had a chatty reg to keep me company throughout the day. He comes in every single one of my streams & I genuinely enjoy talking to him.
Tomorrow will be better :)

So I'm completely new to camming. I do Domme and fetish shows. And I LOVE it! Camming is slow money right now (I guess because of the post holiday slump?) But I really do think it will pick up and soon. I took two days off and focused on other things (promoting myself, cleaning the house, etc) Glad I did, today was better than my first few days.
My positive impressions of camming so far are:
I love that I can get dolled up and don't have to leave the house.
This is the best job for a person with as much depression and anxiety as I have.
I get to be kinky for work!
My self esteem has skyrocketed from feeling getting dolled up almost everyday.
Getting dolled up for cam doesn't require as much effort as I thought it would. When I want to get ready fast I just put concealer under my eyes to hide the bags (I have bed sleeping patterns,) eyebrows, and red lipstick. Done. Takes less than 15 minutes! And if I want to get more dressed up, I do!
I'm getting use out of all my goth clubbing and stripping outfits now. I haven't been out in a long time :(
I have more content for snapchat, twitter, and instagram now that I get dressed up so frequently.
Camming is inspiring me to work on my clips and website.
When I feel like procrastinating on camming or promoting for cam, I'm actually doing useful things like cleaning the house or working on other important projects.
This has been a positive change for me! Now, let's just hope the money starts to come in soon.
