I know I can get this.

I totally had a mental image of the Little Red Caboose, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can," lol. I feel that way myself sometimes.

I've found that my weak spot in building my business is consistency. My off-cam life can get erratic, and I don't always put my cam schedule at the top of my priority list. I want to change that, but I know that if I just totally redesign my life from the ground up, I'll never stick to my new schedule. So, I'm going to try adding in small habits, spaced out over time, that build up to cam schedule consistency.

First up: Sharing my morning cup of coffee with my viewers. I've done this in the past, and they love it! So, for the next week I'm going to do this every morning. Hopefully, I'll train both myself and my viewers to be in my chat room at the same time every day.

I agree Cara. Consistency is key. I haven't been good at doing it the last 5 days or so. I've been dealing with migraines and it's hard to focus, sit up straight (then my back hurts) etc. I'll get it going though. I'm not a morning person. Evenings are better for me. :) Good luck, hon!

Good luck meeting/exceeding your goal! Also, thanks for bumping this thread for the newbies.

I really appreciate the threads for lower goals, whether they're for lulz or not. Camming is my side-job and one that I can't do that often. Being new, I know it's not considered best practice, but it is what it is. I'm learning as I go, and since I am not aiming particularly high, I am able to figure out my boundaries on my own terms.

I've been trying the $500/week challenge but for the time being it is lofty. And though $20/week can sound like a joke, I've definitely struggled for that before! Probably will again, aye. Thankfully, I can average above that when assessing at a monthly level. I think I am now going to work on the goal of $500/month until that becomes rote, and then kick it up a notch.

I'm doing a long (for me) session tonight, and might even get on tomorrow. $125 at the end of the weekend would put me on track!

Here's to $400 a week for my three day weeks. I rarely reach that goal though it's more like $350 lol but I'm working my way back to $500.

Definitely can take part in this thread. Being that I am now going back to ft vanilla work camming will be my side income so I can save up money.

I'm also participating in this group, because ever since I've been in this roommate situation, I can't put the long hours it takes these days to count on to make much more than that, sadly.

SM has been painfully slow the last week or so.....I might look for another site. MGF gives me the best payout, but I can't cam at night when most guys are on *sigh*
Thank heavens for c4s!!!!!

I swear it gets better. For about 6 months of my camming life I was making $20-$50 a week. Seriously. Then I switched up my hustle, my room and learned to use law of attraction to manifest good things. it gets better with time and effort, I promise.

Thank God for my regs to show up when I am online though.

I'm gonna have to start making clips. I didn't factor in how often people who can't know what I do will be home. It wouldn't be so bad since she mostly gardens outside but she also likes to walk into the room unannounced to ask for help with stuff. Time to research asses and feet for ideas!

I am in the exact situation kaylee. I posted about it a few times.
I'm trying to cam quietly, but if I'm in my room for long periods of time, that's when it becomes a problem with my nosy roommate/landlord.

I live with my mother since my bf and I can't afford our own apartment at the moment. She's already walked in on me practicing a foot job and cracked up laughing.

That said I really don't want to find out the hard way her opinion on doing porn.

It pays out every two weeks so you don't get your first check until like a month later..but after your first check it come 2x a month

You must compete certain amount of hours at 0.99 prom price but it goes by so quick
Charge backs (personally I only got a few like 3-5$ )
Proffesional everything! Pictures must be proffesional quality camera HD quality and audio you must have
They start at 30% and goes up to 65% can't remember
I worked there and did okay...I did especially well when I started splitting it but then they took my profile pic and I left because I didn't wanna deal with little to no traffic from not having a pic up

I just saw the site and very impressed about the pictures! it is everything so professional!
Maybe in the future, I've already spend money in a good notebook and webcan, not spend more until see some in my account,
but many tks for your help and advice

I don't reach the 500 Dollars, today internet connection problems. I earned $7.79. I hope to reach this week $170. I want it! Because it motivate me, to hit it many times, to play in the $500 Week Challenge!

I just wanted to give you girls a reminder on what it would be like if we made minimum wage working 40 hours a week. In my state minimum wage is $8.50 an hour. After working 40 hours (and having an hour lunch everyday) I would gross $340. Roughly %18 goes to misc taxes and %7 goes to 401k leaving me with a whopping $255 per week!

My point here is that even if we are in the under $500 club for the time being, we're still better off than minimum wage! Heck even if you are making minimum wage I'd say it's a better position just for the flexibility to work around your daily life and not have to scheule your life around your job. A lot of us in this thread fit in one of 3 categories: 1)medical limitations 2)new and still learning to hustle 3)don't work a ton of hours for whatever reason.

So lift your heads up ladies and rejoice because you are taking care of your shit in your own way! You get to put yourself first. I know I'll go ahead and be a sex worker for 10 hours a week to avoid being on welfare!

Wow :) in my country I had 400$ MONTHLY netto in office work in a call center (technical support for very well woldwide known computer company (starting with "M") :) i quit after 4 years.. now i see this camming bussiness and I think "what a great opportunity!!.. i could maybe make it weekly !! ..

Right. And $400 / month is considered a good salary here :)

Yes, $1000 would be great but you can get by even with $500 :)
Not sure about Poland but in Romania you can have 300 Mbps at $7 / month. It's amazing :)

Wow :) here at the moment I pay 30$ / month for 250 Mbps downloading / 40 Mbps sending

maddiebabe
03-14-2017, 02:38 AM
Ok do you think you get less customers from not being in US/GB/Australia/New Zealand?

Do guys expect you to have lower prices? or can you still charge the same high prices?

This is all very interesting.

Loreen
03-14-2017, 03:04 AM
Yes, 300 Mbps download and 150 Mbps upload (for $7).

maddiebabe, unfortunately I don't have any camming experience to answer the other questions (I'm a full time web designer) :)
But generally, my clients that are working as cam models make a very good living :)

Romania is ranked 10th in the world and 1st in Europe in terms of average Internet peak connection speed with 73.6 Mbit/s :)

I was wondering if in countries such as Bulgaria or Romania if it is at all possible to rent a reasonably priced detached house? Or does everyone just rent/live in apartments? Actual houses seem to be much more rare in Europe than they are in America.

Loreen
03-14-2017, 05:56 AM
Yes, of course. The price varies quite a lot, if you want it somewhere remote, somewhere with a view (seaside / mountain area) or somewhere busy, in the middle of the capital or another big city.
From $20 a month (yes, in a smaller village, older house) to probably... $10.000 or more :)

maddiebabe
03-14-2017, 06:45 AM
Oh my. How do you go about finding them? In America all you do is hop online or drive around looking for for rent signs. I don't know these languages, but Romanian or Bulgarian would probably be easy to learn for me. I know Russian so it might be similar-ish. And I am fast at picking up languages.

For some reason I didn't think there was very many detached houses in Europe I must be silly. Is it reasonable to have a car in any of these places or is public transit the way to go? I am mostly interested in living next to the Black Sea. My family lived in Odessa for a number of years before I was born and they said it was nice. :)

sorry if all my questions are annoying you!

Loreen
03-14-2017, 07:24 AM
Yes, online is the way to go for Romania, too :)
For example: https://lajumate.ro/anunturi_case-vile-de-inchiriat_in-constanta-ct.html (these are all in the Black Sea area, more or less in the city / near the sea).

The language is not very similar to Russian, maybe more like Italian :)
It's more comfortable with a car but public transit is fine, too.

Is $1000 USD/mo before or after taxes that you need to earn?

Either way is pretty ok (not amazing, but a decent life). Even better if it's after taxes :)
