Great thread here about camming and food https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?195760-Meal-amp-Snack-Planning-for-the-full-time-Cam-Girl-Suggestions&highlight=meal+planning
I dont drink coffee everyday so when I need energy I drink a coffee so not much help :D I would say sugar if you need a quick rush. really obvious advice here but I do the junk snack thing if I dont plan something for my lunch so I try to always cook too much for dinner so I have leftovers to eat when I get hungry. I like to make it up in a cute little obento so Im more inspired to sit down and take a proper break and meal because I only eat twice a day so I like to know Im eating well. If Im honest though probably once a week or more I end up shoving a bag of chips in my face cause I didnt prepare and I just want food!!!

^^Hi. Welcome! I make all my meals within about 5 minutes. I tend to eat high protein in the morning and afternoon to keep energy up: eggs and asparagus, or eggs and power greens also sardines in louisiana hot sauce on a piece of flax n fiber bread with avocado is actually pretty yummy.
I rarely drink energy drinks. Instead positive energy teas with raw organic honey give me a boost or green tea works just as well. Drinking lots of water is huge too. Without any gym sessions I drink about 80 oz a day.
Ooo all of that sounds really good :) I think I definitely need to concentrate on getting in more protein, and green tea!

Ahh that is super helpful! I'm going to check out that thread as well. That's a great idea, having something prepared before is my ideal plan and I think making it into a cute lil bento would motivate me to actually do it ;D Meal planning is the move!

Thank You for bumping my thread. I actually just bought, ( and used) my very first Crock-Pot. I think I'll add the chicken and vegetable recipe that I used, if anyone is interested.

I know everyone is different but was curious on thoughts of potential income loss by only offering toys/penetration in blocked sessions on SM. I am not a fan of toy usage but I know that will hinder me so I'm thinking of blocked sessions where I can like take my time with it since there is no guarantee someone wouldnt bounce in like three minutes of a pay per minute session.

What is everyone's experience with the time of day you cam? I have been doing morning - afternoon shift consistently - but now that its summer its just way too slow. Thinking about making the jump to late night shows - but I'm not a natural night owl - anyone have preferences with time of day?

I was wondering if there were others who exclusively did the daytime shifts. The most traffic is gonna be that overnight shift, and there's nothing that's going to change that. I can't work overnight, so I just have to do what I can during the days. Having said that, money can be earned during the day. It could be said that although there's less traffic, there's also less competition from other models, especially this time of year when kids are home, and families are on vacation.
So just hang in there. Find other ways to generate income. Many sell photos, videos, audio clips. Phone sex. I've already figured out that my income is coming to me in various streams. I'll never be the person who lands that one "golden ticket" job. Besides, the people I admire who have their finances together seem to all have multiple streams.

I'm about to give the over night shift a go so I'm glad to hear you say it will have the most traffic but first I have to crawl in to bed so the pets can have their "night time routine" with me. Then I will get up and get rolling once they are done with their snuggles and move on to their other spots. Day times have been awful for me and I need to find my nitch with when to work before I get kicked out of my apartment. Ugh! But if that is where the money is, that is where I will have to go!

Follow up question: Do you think it should be in camming connection or a different area (I was considering "Other Work") so we could potentially get others involved?

I think Other Work is the best place for that. It covers more than Camming. I know there are sw with Etsy shops etc. I've just never catalogued them.

I prefer my couch. Sitting on the bed hurts my back and for me it's hard to get the right angles. Most guys want to see my body and face. That's hard to do when laying on a bed. My couch is very old and ugly but I just throw a blanket over it.

Why does my lube taste sweet? Is it bad that I eat some of it (not intentionally)? Does it contain calories?

This is weird, but I am pretty sure one of my customers faked his death. He was a disabled guy and had told me he was having issues finding cam models who were not mean to him...a couple of weeks ago he ended up on the CCL on CMD for a chargeback and admitted to me that it happened claiming the model disappeared and never did the show.
He started getting shows from another platform since I don't mess with anyone on the CCL. After that he claimed he was having surgery during the time he was supposed to be in the hospital he was still doing shows with me at his home. He even sent me a post op photo, but it was obviously NOT his body.
On the new platform his card stopped working. He told me the site said it was due to his IP and email address. I'm guessing some type of fraud? Not sure.
Then after 2 weeks of being unable to get a show he messaged me that he said seen a dead person. Said he went to a bar and was taking to a woman, went to the bathroom, and when he returned she was gone. He later found her image on the wall saying "1970-1998".
Today I received a skype message from an alleged friend of his telling me he (my customer) died in his sleep last night. Now this friend of his is asking to be my friend on the same account!
To weird! What friend would want to be friends with a webcam model their friend was purchasing shows from? Not even a family member would bother telling a cam model what happened. It has to be him! He has gotten a lot of shows, did a shit ton of chargebacks, and is desperate for attention he can't afford. I blocked the account.

^^^ OMG This guy is crazy!! Clearly trying to drum up sympathy for himself. That is probably his fetish! But to go as far as to "die" to get it is pretty extreme! :D These asshats make me laugh though.
I have one guy that occasionally makes a "new" account so he can pretend to be a friend that was recommended to come and see me. :D The problem is that this always blows up in his face cause I wont talk about clients or even acknowledge that they are clients!! For all I know this could be your wife who found your account so Im not going to rat you out!

Serious question: I don't have any wigs to wear. I bought one but I need to wash it because there's weird chemicals in it. My natural hair is super short and guys don't seem to like it.
What should I do? I had some guys before buy a few shows with super short hair, but I know it's a turn-off.

^^While it's true longer fuller hair may communicate a more healthy potential mate, it's not the determining factor in camming. Just ask PixiieGirl who rocks short blue hair. She's been page 1 on SM recently. She's super consistent and sticks to her schedule, has an amazing chest, and is very sweet.
I'd say try the wig and if it does seem to bring in more income...sweet. Or bump up your hustle with your short cut.

I remember a couple of top girls that shaved their heads before. Like, military buzz cut short and they worked it...Lol...not sure what the motivation was to do it but their hustle was still as strong and men seemed to enjoy the confident attitude they had. You're hair isn't necessarily a turn off. I bet you could rock it :)

Amazon has some decent wigs at reasonable prices. Maybe worth the small investment to grab a couple and see what looks best on you.

I DID order from Amazon, lol. It's a cute wig, but it has a STRONG chemical smell. I think they (the Chinese who made it) spray it with something to keep it from getting moldy. Whatever it is...I need to wash the wig really well.
Feel free to share links to any vendors you buy from where I could legit shake and wear.

Amazon wigs all come from the wholesaler supplier.... aliexpress
Its open to the public. Just go to that website to get your wigs for a fraction of the cost. I own a few wigs, all from them. I used to wear wigs when I had super short hair to but couldnt handle the headaches and heat from them. But I live in Florida so thats part of the issue haha.

They may make wigs but I'm not sure. Depending on how short your hair is, maybe the extensions would work?

I've heard of that site. Is it safe to go on? You know, weird malware, etc. It's hosted in China, right? Also, do you have to wash out your wigs really well? What's that shit they're spraying on them?

Never had any issue with wigs that smelt horrible and yes its very safe to go on and your purchases are protected. I use them as a wholesaler (many many big name companies use them to for wholesale) so super safe. Here is a fun thing I like to tell people as well. You know Paparazzi and their cheap $5 dollar jewelry? All of it is from Aliexpress! But the reps just dont know that. I mean it has to come from somewhere and that is where its wholesaled from.

I have an undercut. The entire lower half of my head is shaved all the way around. My hair is longer now, almost to my shoulders but I do notice guys love longer hair. I've been tempted at times to throw my really long haired wig on but I'm also at the point where its such a hassle that I want to force the way I am/look on to these guys and be like just freaking love me for me damn it!

Hello girls, I want to work on streamate and my question is precise. Can I make a goal of $ 200 a day there?
It's a bit under the percentage but I'd love to hear your opinions.
I have thought about passive gains and I want to experience tube porn sites. What is your recommendation and why?
I'm sorry if this was already answered but I do not understand how to look inside this forum..

I know girls that make over $5000 a week and some that make a $1000 and some that don't even make $500. Most girls that make $1000's a week put in 30+ hours a week, even when its slow they stay on. Having good internet connection, camera and lighting all make a huge difference. I would say the best way to find out is try for a few months and see how much you can make. Its different for everyone. Good luck!

I don't know if *this* is the right thread for my vent...but I'm feeling down on myself.
1. Although mornings would be the best time for me to do shows, I'm just not a morning performer. For one, I often have insomnia, and because I have health issues, I need to make sure I'm getting all of my sleep, as much as possible. And even if I get a good night of sleep, my personality just isn't there in the morning.
2. I like doing mornings so that I can work on other things in the afternoons. Also, there's less competition for me to deal with in the mornings. But working mornings only allows me a couple of hours before it becomes dead/crickets. SM goes dark pretty much around lunch. Never tried mid-afternoons.
3. I often wake up in a state of anxiety. No matter if I make lists (I do), I wake up feeling incapable and my brain goes frozen.
4. Mornings are just the best time for me to do exercise, meditation, errands, shit that's just best to do in the mornings, especially if I need to leave home this time of year because it's fucking HOT outside. Example: I don't like doing grocery shopping in the afternoons because I like my food to be as cool/cold as possible. It's so hot where I live, even if I'm riding in a car, the food could spoil on the way home (I fear). Like...I put cold foods in insulated bags EVEN riding in a car!
5. I've tried evening shifts before...different crowd. The guys were more demanding, more assholish. They seem to be a bit more tame in the mornings. Also, there's less of a chance of my being clocked out outted by working in the mornings...because the people I live around are working in the mornings.
(Vent/rant/whining over)
Now...does anyone else find that mornings are JUST NOT their jam? I know in order to be half-decent at this (I'm still in the apprentice phase, as I call it), I need to be at my best, inside and out. But as I've established, mornings aren't the right time for me. I gotta figure this out so that I can earn! Too much at stake, financially. But my mind is telling me....save mornings to do the things that I know work best for me to do in the mornings. Errands. Personal care. Making clips. Side hustles. Shit like that. Save camming for afternoons/early eves, but I'm afraid I won't make money during those times.
I'm a hot mess right now, I know. Empathy and compassionate input is welcome, please.

I mean this in a supportive way: GET A SCHEDULE AND STICK TO IT. Being online at consistent times is what makes you money. Developing regulars. I switched to a prime time night schedule to days only, Monday to Friday. I also have disordered sleeping and I get so fucking tired during the day. Get a routine down, practice good sleep hygiene, wake up and conquer the day. I can't tell you how much money I have missed out on by being too tired ---> waking up at your scheduled time doing stuff like working out, showering, eat breakfast then BOOM exhaustion and just having to sleep half the day away. Get your ass up. Do some positive affirmations. Get ready. Get your ass online. It's a job not a luxury. Just like I used to sit in the parking lot of a vanilla job I hated dreading going into work for XYZ reason, I'd still show up and work because I got bills to pay.

I hear you concerns. When to log in is tough to answer. I cam a day shift to keep up with my circadian rhythm. It works best for my mental health. I find the day shift can be profitable, but I've built up a decent following. I'd say choose a schedule then stick to it and see how it goes for a month.
I'm not a morning person, but I had to become one to be a successful indoor cycling instructor. You could try a not so early shift. I cam 12-6pm and it works out nicely. I find the men are pretty respectful as a whole.
You'll just have to choose a time, stick with it, then try another time and see how it differs. It's all trial and error really.

I have thought about passive gains and I want to experience tube porn sites. What is your recommendation and why?
I'm sorry if this was already answered but I do not understand how to look inside this forum..

Just a FYI, streamate has a very low model payout % verse some other competitive sites. They run contests etc but look at all your options.

I wouldn't say 30-35% is "very low" - in fact I believe it's the highest payout of any private based site, and covers chargebacks. Token sites payout 50% but it's a totally different style/hustle. And the percentage is basically irrelevant anyway - what matters is finding the site where you get good paying traffic.

Now...does anyone else find that mornings are JUST NOT their jam? I know in order to be half-decent at this (I'm still in the apprentice phase, as I call it), I need to be at my best, inside and out. But as I've established, mornings aren't the right time for me. I gotta figure this out so that I can earn! Too much at stake, financially. But my mind is telling me....save mornings to do the things that I know work best for me to do in the mornings. Errands. Personal care. Making clips. Side hustles. Shit like that. Save camming for afternoons/early eves, but I'm afraid I won't make money during those times.
I'm a hot mess right now, I know. Empathy and compassionate input is welcome, please.
I have to echo what Sapphire said about sticking with a schedule. You need to force yourself to get into a disciplined routine. Its tough at first and usually takes a few weeks to fully get in the groove of a new habit, but i think if you can really discipline yourself to stick to a consistent daily schedule (not just for camming, but for your general errands and life activities too), you'll find yourself much calmer/less anxious and you'll eventually start to see results on cam. There are always going to be guys online no matter what time of day it is. The more hours you put in during a consistent time frame, the more guys will find you. Your placement will likely improve as you put in more hours, which will lead to more traffic and thus more potential for sales.
I work at night (starting around 830pm then working 5-6 hours) but one thing I like to do is get ready early. I go to sleep around 3-4am and wakeup around 11 every day without an alarm; I exercise, eat,and get all my chores/errands done by midday. I usually have a nice chunk of free time around then. Then i set an alarm to go off at 5pm every day. Hearing it jolts me back into my evening routine. That is when I shower and put my cam makeup on. Then I cook dinner and do a little tidying up, then I have a bit more "me time" to read or watch tv before my shift, and when 8pm rolls around i'm ready to just turn on my cam and go. Its hard to make the excuse not to work if I am already all dolled up, which is why I've worked it into my routine to just get ready early. It really helps me start on time, and i don't feel like I'm rushing to get started. I also take a B vitamin complex before my shift, which I find gives me just enough energy to last through the night but not disrupt my ability to sleep, the way drinking caffeine would.

Thanks for sharing all of that. And for mentioning that guys are on all hours of the day.

Jasmin offers 30%-60% based on how much you make. You can get to 40-45% in 2 or 3 days.

Hey there,
Is it worth it at all to cam this Fourth of July holiday?

Yes. While it's been terribly slow on SM, I have exceeded high goal and I have 2 more hrs to stream. So I'd give it a shot. Men are spending.
