Camming rocks because I keep getting LONG privates with awesome guys that don't care how expensive I am. Tonight was only online 15 min before catching a 71 min private (at $7.99/min) AND he tipped me $100 while we were in there! Exceeded my goal from that one show. So fucking thankful! :) I'm still online but not on cam to see if another regular comes in...

Things have started to pick up a little on Streamate and I'm so glad ;3;)
I was ready to completely give up on camming, but I give up on most things and I really prefer the flexibility since I run a business and we have something big coming up that we're preparing for!
I'm down to the last two weeks before a big trip and, despite how bad it's been on SM, thanks to DXLive, I've been able to raise $1000 to spend! Everything I make in the next two weeks is going toward the trip, so I'm hoping I can do my regular $100/day (I really like to shop :( )
Gah I really need to stop being so hard on myself when it's slow.

Camming Rocks because in the mist of freeloader hell, one angel comes by and tips 50 without saying a word. Then he whisks me away to private and just says "I just want to see your feet" I show them and he tells me that he loves my pedicure and tips another 30 bucks. So thankful for foot guys :)

I decided to return to MFC a few nights ago as I am slowly but surely fucking AW off and replacing it with SM/MFC.
Turns out all my guys remember me and still like me yay!
Awesome night tonight, doubled my goal target. Although it was a low target considering im still not well and here is hoping tomorrow I am 100% cough free hurrah!
Need to get my sassy on and start pulling in a ton of hours to make up for the last two weeks i've had off.

Two awesome guys from my first SM account finally found me again. I went from making $1.60 this afternoon to being 38% into tomorrow's goal. OMG, they made my fucking night all on their own. Especially the Vore one. His shows are so fucking fun that I spend the next half hour on a high and giggling. Thank you cam goddess for rewarding my perseverance in trying again rather than giving up for the day! :D

Hadn't gotten a show in hours and was about to give up on camming for the night, was all settled in the dark in comfy clothes and just hadn't bothered signing out of Skype. Boom, paying customers (new guys, even) fell out of the sky and I not only reached goal but surpassed it by quite a bit. Just goes to show that all you have to do is get online and stay online and eventually the spenders will find you.

Camming rocks because it's a very...flexible job.
I submitted my grad school apps last night and thus decided to celebrate. My boy had in some way mildly annoyed me. I think it was that I asked him if he wanted to drink with me, got no answer, sent where I was going, and then found out he had ignored my text and was already out with friends at a different bar (with an implied invitation). Thus, I went to this super nerdy, LGBT friendly bar alone. My friend recommended AMFs as a celebratory drink, i.e. Adios Mother Fucker. I had four of these. When my boy and our friends found me later, I was informed that blue is an unnatural color for a reason. I now agree with this sentiment.
I ran into my ex-coworker and her friends at the bar. She's cool--former stripper who just got a boob job and was showing them off. We made out at some point, then she gave her boss a lap dance, then said boss made out with me. A frankly adorable, shy lesbian girl who doesn't come out very often showed up and was dragged into the make out circle. Her number somehow made it's way into my phone I've discovered. My ex-coworker then proceeded to give us all (excellent) lap dances. It was basically the female version of The Hangover. Or a man's wet dream. I'm not sure.
At some point my boy showed up (don't worry ladies--he finds this particular form of my drunken behavior amusing) and I received a very detailed lecture on why blue was not a natural color for drinks. I found myself defending them at the time, but currently I'm in agreement since it tastes like something crawled in my mouth and died. Boy dragged me home, where we then smoked while I ate everything in sight and three neighborhood cats showed up on my porch (I'm the drunk crazy cat lady, btws).
I woke up with that sort of hang over that means I transformed into a vampire at some point because I'm shying away from all light sources and wearing sunglasses to use my computer. Also, tylenol and water make me vomit. So now I'm trying to muster up the energy to get the requisite shitty diner food that will end this nauseated, dehydrated half-hell I'm in and simultaneously regretting everything and nothing.
So camming rocks, because I didn't have to go to work this morning.

Camming rocks because as I was compiling all my stuff for the Fall/Winter hustle challenge I realized that this is the only job where you can pretty much expect to achieve those savings goals because of how much our pay is compared to other sectors of work. Yay camming!!

I hit my high goal in 3 hrs today. I might just log back on tonight just for some extra funds but I'm glad that I hit my weekly goal of 750 this week!

$120 even made. Changing my camming name was a good idea. Less questions, more money for doing next to nothing compared to what I thought I'd be doing.

Have a regular that tipped me over 1000tk offine last week..he comes into my chat yesterday and asks me to look at his cam (promisises that he's not jerking off) So I'm like sure, why not? To my surprise he's a really handsome guy in his mid 30's. Shows me around his apartment which is super nice and then tipped me 500tk just for looking at his cam. Camming rocks!

I think I have my first regular. This guy sent me an offline tip and asked me if I had Amazon wishlist because he wants to get me a gift. Whaaat? Are you sure you sent this to the right person, sir? Lil ol' me?

Camming rocks because the risk is worth it if you just put the hours in. I am about to switch up the sites that I give time to, but I know that if I just work hard and use my relatively new model status properly I will be able to achieve success. In which other job can you literally be crazy successful within the first month? Not many.

I took no bs, upped my rate, avoided burnout, banned a peeper in freechat while he babbled away, made my goal and feel awesome.....I finally know how to fish lol.(not whale yet but fish nonetheless)

Got on cam this morning even though I really didn't want to. Someone kept asking me a lot of questions and said, "you seem way to cute to be real nasty in private- is that true?" My response was, "you seem to be asking way too many questions to actually be interested in going to private."
He immediately took me into private. AND I've made my hourly goal in the first thirty minutes. I think this is going to be a good day :D

Didn't want to get on cam yesterday. I was sad and emotional over a former lover. Decided the best thing to do was get dolled up and let some dudes tell me how pretty I was and get my mind off of it. Turned cam on and spent 85% in exclusive for 2 hours with 3 diff custys. Made my day and exceeded my goal for tomorrow. Money always makes me feel better

Not that it really got me any more paid shows and mainly just bought in more freeloaders but you have to take your victories where you can. I never thought I'd ever be on first page of Streamate again. O.O

I'm at over 10% of my low goal. I don't know how I'm doing so decently with not having a niche. I adopted the "I do what I want when I feel like it" attitude and it's working well for me.
I really didn't expect to make this much. It feels so good to be able to do this finally AND be good at it. I'm so proud of me!

Camming ROCKS because although Streamate has been horrifically awful lately, my back up sites are coming through for me. And I'm making more and more on those sites every day, just gotta stick with them. So suck on that SM!!

I need to learn to stop posting in camming sucks after the first hour of camming. I'm at 221 for the day so far (my original goal was 100) and just got 100 gold in tips for no reason.

I still have to go to school though :c

I had to cancel a pre-scheduled indie show with a regular I've had since 2009. I felt really bad cuz he was looking forward to it. Basically, I got my period early, am in terrible pain, and can't even keep water down. He was so understanding and gave me my 300 ahead of time, saying he hopes it makes me smile and I'm hot even when sick. We're gonna have to agree to disagree on that, but camming rocks.

I'm so happy to be posting here! I had a guy come into my room tonight who had previously tipped me $25 for seemingly nothing (conversation, etc.), and tip me $75 for nothing! Just for sitting in my chair! I *just* signed on too, at an odd time, and it was a very welcome and appreciated surprise! :D

$415 in 4 hours on Streamate last night! Woohoo! :D I raised my private rate by a dollar so that has helped me make more without as much effort. My pregnant ass is so tired of up, down, up, down. So it's paying off, thankfully!!!
And I had a guy come in whose screen name was "PleaseTakeMyMoney" and he tipped me $20 3 separate times. I was sure he was all talk but I went along with him and he paid off! :D He promised to come back soon. Hopefully he does!

So this guy recently found my long-dead C4S store and bought a few clips (the kind of clips that were custom orders and you don't expect anyone else to buy them but you throw them up in your store because why not.) Not all at once, either--he trickle-bought them, one at first, then another a few days later, then another a few hours after that. It was kind of strange, seeing those notifications in my email again. If he'd only bought one, or bought them all at once, I might have shrugged them off. But I kept seeing the new notifications and they, for lack of a better term, awoke something in me.
So last night I was trolling for shows as per usual and I thought, why not update my C4S store? So I uploaded yet another old custom "no one's ever going to buy this" clip and put in the effort of writing a decent description and all that (for once.) I enjoyed watching the hits on my previously deader-than-dead store rise but didn't really expect anything to come of it. Lo and behold, a few hours later I got another notification in my email. The damn clip actually sold.
It's not a lot of money. But I'm excited in a way I haven't been for a while. I'm about to go to sleep now and I'm wondering, will there be more notifications in my email when I wake up? If there aren't, how can I make that happen? If there are, how can I make MORE happen?
So, yeah. Not strictly about camming, but that actually rocked too. Everything's just pretty great right now. :)

What a difference 5 minutes make! I was ready to call it quits last night, after a full day of 'beggar' central, then... BAM! A new custie took me exclusive to actually.... Wait for it.... TALK!! and get to know me before we did anything sexual! He stayed for over 45 minutes. Def. made up for the crappy week I've been having.
We did the c2c, and phone feature, and I must say, it did throw me aback for a good 20 minutes. I found myself not really knowing what to say.:-X
He lives in Texas, and was not only HOT, but a perfect gentleman. Like we were on a date, or something.
What a refreshing cam session! Reminds me of when I first started camming, and they were mostly all like that.
For some reason, I'm 'Kryptonite' for Texans and English guys. I never figured out why, but ... I'll take it!
I remember when I dance all throughout Texas, .. guys would always buy my stripper friends and me drinks and dinner everywhere we went after our gigs at the club. They didn't even expect anything back from us.. not even to sit with us while we dined.
I really should consider moving there, cause' I'm such a hermit, because I hate having to deal with the rudeness of the people in the city I'm living in, esp. after dealing with it on cam all day. It was funny, because when he asked me where I live, and I told him, he said he has been here only once and hated it because people are so rude.
So, I'm loving camming once again, because I'm once again believing that there are good spenders out there, after all.;D

Camming ROCKS! Don't have time to list all the reasons, but I'm super stoked to be able to take a whole week off if/when I need/want to. FREEDOM, bb!! Love it. I'm out until Monday...
