I'm starting this week for $1000+. I'm already 25% of my goal, so I'm pretty sure I'll make it! :)

I just enrolled today and am going to start that reg. too. I love the 60% payout:D
AW has a payout of 65%, and I believe it's 70% for the prebooked cam shows. :)

I tried tried to work on AW but I couldn't get them finish the sign up process for cam. They just won't answer to my emails. :( I sent them a copy of passport and still to no avail.

Ended the week with $650 but I'm not mad. I was consistent and I only got to work 3 days.
Heres to a new week and a good $1000plus week ladies!

Despite being sick the end of this last week, I managed to at least get on cam for a bit earlier this evening and pull in my hourly average.
I want to start making $1K/week and there is no reason I can't. My issue is getting motivated to just get online lately b/c of depression but once I'm on and I see how well I'm doing compared to the shit I've been used to, it becomes it's own source of motivation. Like I'll see a number figure and think "Only 30$ more and I'm at $200 even, keep going!" Then I see an odd number and want to even it out again and will stay on longer.
Sadly, it's pretty apparent my peak hours are late night. It's my best per hour rate. If I work about 5 hrs a day, 5 days a week, I could easily go over $1000/week.
Earlier tonight was the weirdest it had been for me in a while because during my first 50 minutes I had 1 show albeit my shows are at least 10 minutes minimum. After that slow hour it picked up and I stayed busy until I met my illness compromised goal. This week though, I am aiming for $1000 but am realistically shooting for $750 as this would be the fastest I've made money ever camming.
After that I will aim to see what my best days are camming money wise and stick to those to keep a schedule. I seem to have developed regulars quickly. I had no idea guys got camshows 2-3x a week. Good grief. Bless their hearts!

I am a newbie on ImLive (I started at the beginning of this month.) Right now, I work when I have the house to myself (my roommate works overnight) so my days are usually Tuesday-Friday, from 9pm-3am-ish. I am thinking about setting my goal for $500 a week for now, until I have more time to dedicate to the camming.

Ugh I'm so irritated. I was all pumped up to have today be my first day of starting over with my plan, but I woke up with this crazy stomach ache I get every so often. Been attempting to nurse it away with no success. I'd try to push through it but it's the kinda thing that comes in waves and every 20 min or so I get this intense cramp and can't be standing up if it happens.. so getting one in the middle of a cam show probably wouldn't go over very well...
I've been working on other stuff though, my blog, website, advertising stuff... Just really was hoping to be on cam already today. :/

I had that and then I found out I was lactose intolerant (grew out of it now), do you know where it's coming from? I hope you feel better tomorrow.. And yay for you for still working on you promo stuff, that will pay off in the long run too!

Is it wrong to sell my clips and pics personally? I am producing them so I assume so, but i dont want to ass-u-me. It might help me meet the goal this week...mmmmaybe, I'm hustlin so hard right now.
I am trying for the $1000 challenge and from reading these threads I see it is totally possible. My problem is my BF HATES me camming when he is home. So I started making vids/pics for the 7 hours he is not home 5 days a week. I made 20 bucks flat today selling clips and on top of the 108 I got from SM it's adding up somehow. My plan is to start the challenge next week, cus heres the deal SM banned me for a whole pay period, and has not informed me why exactly. They banned me on Friday last week and I messaged them about not being able to stream asking if I did something and they did not reply yet. Sooo I have this week to work on my clips/pics and next Friday afternoon I will be back online, refusing to show anything without a tip or premium!

3 hours down ...$115....goal was $150 but barely got ANY chats on AW
I was going to take an hour break and go back on but I think I will get back on after 12am for another 3 hours and see how that goes.
Hopefully I make my $300 goal for the day.

Exceeded my goal last night so that's great but slacking and not camming tonight. I get home from class Tuesday evening and take my nightly nap so I can stay up all night but after class I just don't want to get up! I can make up for it Saturday night. Will I ever be off on Saturday night like I plan to be? Ha.

I am really trying to keep my mood as high as possible right now but things just keep getting in the way of me and that elusive $1000.. The weight of moving house stress upon nasty flatmate stress (which has kept me in my room, which may have actually contributed to the current events because I have been finding it hard to even leave my room to go to the bathroom when I need to.. This is just ridiculous).
I was taken to accident and emergency yesterday, where I was kept the whole day and put on a tonload of meds, painkillers, morphine and gas, on account of the most agonizing pain I have ever been in in my life.. Apparently it is just a UTI - but one that so happens to cause extreme pain.
Should I still just get on cam with my pussy out of action? I did a mega short GOLD show the other week, where I kept the camera on my boobs (face out of shot), and simply bounced those things around for a bit.. This is NOT my niche keep in mind: I have (given, a very nice!) pair of C cups which have never been at the fore-front of how I've marketed myself. It's always been about my hairy pussy before.. so it kinda threw my regs off I think.
But the thing is... that's still $7 more than if I hadn't have gone on. It was a short show, with a short countdown, and surely shows like that add up, depending on how many tippers I can get. I'll just do what I can this week.. I'm still in goddamnit. Pussy or no pussy. Whether I make it or not remains to be seen, but I'll still try my best to make at least enough for my wellbeings. <3 Even if I have to crawl to the finish line on my nipples...

I will live by this motto this week also, Ill just be camming short shifts while I'm sick.
At least this will be a great time for you to experiment what you can do without showing your boobs. Maby BJ goldshows will get some people in too? Goodluck anyway, I admire your determination!

I want in on this challenge, I think Im doing something desperately wrong. I know for a act I need to up my hours. I work both sm and mfc, and the best day Ive had so far has been one in which I made $200 on mfc. Other than that I average $15 -20 an hour.... I am saving to get a new place (was kicked out of home), so I really need to find what works for me. Even a consistent $500 a week would be great. Im a noob ( a month in on mfc, 1 week on sm). Ive had better luck on mfc somehow, I only get 17% -25% of my earnings on sm :/ . I think I picked the wrong hours to work (12 -4 pm est) and I need to up it on the hours...
I made $60 this week, and worked 8 hours :(
Maybe check out the "avoid studios" thread stickied on top of other posts in CC. :) A performer from a Western country should be getting 35% (some Eastern European performers get 30% due to "special deals" between SM and local studios or some such BS) but never lower UNLESS you have unknowingly signed up through a studio.

60 is pretty good for an hour and a half, the cam job is very difficult at times and very easy others. Take the good with the bad and make the best of it. I have only done 2 SM gold shows and I am a BBW, I noticed not many BBW on streamate actually do gold shows probably becuse they cannot make as much $ buuuutttt....I made a descent amount of money in Gold my second time around. After the first show which I charged 3 gold for I went to look at my earnings and it was only .75 cents a head! I should have known! I braved my fears of not getting any heads on my next gold show and started an extreme fetish show that went perrrfect. I think with gold shows you really have to be doing something that cannot be duplicated or is rare to get a descent headcount. I raised my gold to 6 and even cut the time down for the duration of the show and got what I wanted.
You also appear to be under a studio.
You should be getting $1.05 on every $3 a customer spends (35%) in this case someone is pocketing 10% cause you're getting only 25% with $0.75 on every $3.

For the sake of posting something on topic, lol: I did it last week, was kind of a close call, leaving $365 to be made in the last shift is NEVER a smart move but I actually came out $12 over goal. So yeah, belated "yay me!" :D
This week I'm skeptical though - I *almost* came down with something nasty flu-like and today is the first shift I'm working this week and I refuse to work without staggering days so it would be:
Wed: work
Thurs: -
Fri: work
Sat: -
Sun: work
I guess I could be going for it (I consider the week ending with Sun and starting with Mon). UNLESS my flu relapses...

Of course you should go for it again this week, but only within the limits of your well being... You will regret not taking your rest when you should have.

Sea sponge tampon. Just change it during your shift if your flow is heavy. I learned that the hard way working a longer shift than normal.

I suggest trimming the string but this is what I started off doing as well. Regular tampons. I'm just a hippy that likes reusable stuff.

Yeah definitely I would use the ones without the applicator and cut the string off. I suppose if they have applicators you can just push them out of it first never tried that.
Despite not working Tuesday night I'm beyond where I should be progress wise this week thanks to off cam income. Feelin' pretty good. Still going to work Saturday night so I should exceed 1k if all goes as planned.

Is anyone putting in certain hours for this? I'm thinking 10 hours a day should get $1k or more in a week. If you only did 5 days a week, 10 hours a day, that should get you $20-25 an hour for $1-1,500k a week.

I'm starting to feel better again, so I can get back to camming again. 3 more days to my challenge and uhmm $780 to go... But I need to work my vanilla job too this weekend, so I cant be online all the time.
I don't put in a certain amount of hours since I have a vanilla job with flexible hours so it is hard to plan ahead.

It definitely varies. I only have to cam 16 hours a week and can still make 1k or more combined with video and panty sales. What you're outlining should work.

I had to update my plan after sitting down and truly working out what I need to be saving, paying off, bills, and looking at the exact averages of my spending per month. I now see I need to make $5,500/mo which is $1,375/wk. Working 5 days/wk, I need to earn $275/day. Working 4 days/wk, I need to earn $345/day.
It's really stressful because it's been pretty slow when I have logged on. I'm trying to think well I just need to get back into the swing of things and guys will show up. I'm doing promo and such. But I screwed up and I've only put in 13 hours of cam time so far this week. :/ Anxiety has really been getting in the way but I'm trying to take it one step at a time. I want to be working 30 hours a week on cam and 5 hours on clips. It seems really ambitious compared to what I have been doing but I'm going to attempt it.
I REALLY want to get all my debts paid off, pay my taxes on time, take the 3 trips I have planned for this summer and I am attempting to get in on the $10k savings with you ladies! Pushin through, it's all you can do.
