Doing pretty good so far! I need to make 40,000 tokens on MFC to meet the goal for the two week pay period, and I'm at 11,000 right now.

Thank u so much Doodle!!
You're welcome, good luck! One more thing, I also made one of those cheesy goal thermometers that they use for pledge drives and such. I know it seems silly to work but I started thinking about the incentive tools we in the art dept. used to do (I'm a designer) and we always made a big poster for them to fill in to get to a big goal. There is something about having a visual and filling it in, even a little at a time, that really helps keep you focused. It almost turns it into a game (I know, I gotta get out more).
Anyhoo, if anyone wants one, I can send it as a PDF for letter size paper. You can ask for either $1,000, $500 or blank (with 10 spots). They are in $20 increments but I have one for $1k that is in $10-increments (I needed to fill in faster, LOL). If you don't hear from me by the end of the week I usually catch up on my digital housekeeping on Sunday. xo!

I'm a newbie bbw on SM. Is this possible for me?
Girl YES! It is! I'd try MFC. I didn't think I'd do well there and the first month I didn't but now it's fuckin cake! And I love cake!
BBWs are in now lol you can bank if you work hard (or if you don't lol) and get on with confidence! Good luck! <3

Since I get paid every two weeks, I'm just going to make this goal $2000 every two weeks and count it all up when I get my paycheck! So far I'm at $930, which I'm pretty proud of considering I started half way through the pay period!
Way excited to see what I can do when i get a normal pay period and move my schedule to nights.

Hi girls I'm Andi I'm on SM as CherryBunnie I want to set my goal at 00 a week. I'm looking at doing 2 3-4 hour sessions a day M-T.
I would love to get in on this! I have been trying to get motivated to cam more but I have so many other things going on that when I'm actually at home I just want to chill out. That being said I need to make more then what I've been.
Doodlebug (that's what I call my son by the way) I would love to get my hands on one of your charts. I love the idea of the 00 one with slots.
I have tried to do gold shows but can never make my goal. If any of you have ideas or tricks that have worked for you in the past I would greatly appreciate it.

this is my first time ever 'working' a 'job' so im really excited to be earning this much so soon.

Hey sweetie, PM me a place to send you the file, or message me on SM, I am Doodlebug.
Gold Shows are tricky. Sometimes everyone is asking for one and I put on the timer and clear the room. Other times I do it because I need to stay active but don't expect any takers and suddenly it takes off. There is a band of custies that are wait for shows so if they start checking yours out, work it like hell. I put on the best show that I can but I stay within a few activities that show off my best assets, and try not to give away too much during countdown. I will not sit there with my top off after getting halfway to the goal but I will start getting oiled up, do a hand bra, whatever, because it looks like the show is already starting. I also heard Rosemary Rabbit tell her room that there's a rumor that they get a discount if they wait to pledge after the show started and it's not true. I am starting to wonder about that because quite a few do wait till after it begins. Maybe they think it's like a private, and it gets prorated by the length of time?
It's taken me a while to figure out them out and I've been meeting my goal but I haven't changed much. I will say I almost always do them if I even get a few pledges. It may not be the smartest thing in the short run but I don't look at them as money makers as much as free-ish sample of sorts, and I have gained new and repeat privates from some of those smaller shows. It's almost like a loss leader, as the big box retailers call it.
Good luck! I also want to make 1000k after taxes too. One thing at a time, though, right?

I like using this website for visual motivation also: http://www.tickerfactory.com
I haven't posted here in a while but I've been doing pretty great. Staying in the $1k/wk on average. Have made almost $4k this month. My goal is $5,500 but I'm getting there.

Limecoconut, I love that site! I used it for paying of CC debt one time. For my weekly goal I love physically coloring in the goal. It's like a grow-up coloring book, LOL! I am a little worried about my goal because I could have hit it if I logged in today but I didn't. I just got so tired and worked on my website instead (and refreshed SW every five seconds).
For some reason when I think I am on track to hit 1k I derail, whereas when I am nowhere near it I work my ass off no problem. I still have two days so it's not over yet but who knows how long burnout lasts once it kicks in. Piffle.

Made about another $260 today, for $534 in the past two days! Had to stay on longer today, though, and I missed out on at least one promising private because of some technical issue that blocked PMs and requests. Still optimistic. :) Might not be able to cam tomorrow and the weekend is iffy, so we'll see how it goes.

going for $2k this following week starting monday since although i didn't make $1.5k in the 3 days that i worked this week ($200 short), if i add on my last two days from the week before i made $100 over my $1.5k weekly goal. my first day i only worked 2 hours and then the next 3 hours 21 minutes out of laziness so i definitely have room to increase my earnings. i wonder how ill do now that its the easter hols here in the UK... hoping the money is still flowing.

I'm joining the challenge. I need to ween myself off of escorting. The last time I worked I averaged $29/hour. I feel I will reach my goal making about, $170 a day for 6 days - I'm following a "3 on, 1 off" schedule - and working about 6 hours.

Is anyone interested in making a 2K/week thread? Not that I am there yet but seeing some of those goals in this thread kind of messes with my head when it's still a big challenge to get to 1K.
ETA: Another reason I'd like this is because I don't really think gals who are way past my level are as likely to be high-fiving me for getting to where they were a while ago. Seriously, don't leave me hanging!

Okie! I am back in on this. :3 Truth be told I haven't made $1000 in a long time. I haven't actually made $500 or over in some time! (Life shit).
Buuuuuuhhh.. I know I can do this and this is the point I actually want and need to be earning lots more. :)
Soft Goal: $1040 (to allow for the $40 wire fee)
Medium Goal: $1200
Hard Goal: $1300
Oh! And DoodlebugBites YES! I think a 2k+ thread would be a brilliant idea. :)

amending my goal to $1.5k this week because yesterday i had trouble with my cam software and i was only able to be on for an hour and made a fraction of my daily goal, i don't feel like pushing myself to make up for it lol.
a $2k+ thread does exist, but its not active.

I'm going to use this soft/medium/hard idea. :D
I also think a 2k thread would be a good idea. I don't earn 2k, but it would definitely be motivating.

Joining this thread this month! I'm trying to save up money for a trip I'm planning! At first, I thought I'd give myself two months, but I thought I'd challenge myself by trying to make it all in one! So, I'm trying to make $1000 every week this month! (and every month hopefully lol). I want to try to make a minimum of $200 every day, but I'll continue until my usual end time even if I reach the goal early!
I'm at $719.87 so far this week!

Today is my last work day of the week and I'm up to $800+! Unfortunately, I woke up with a cold but I seriously want to reach my goal like now! I feel like I shouldn't push myself, but I'd be so disappointed if I couldn't. I don't think I can deal with SM's free chat in my condition though lol
EDIT:
Ended up with $1,009 for the week in the end thanks to special bonuses from my primary site!

Last years earnings looked like a roller coaster because I would make a couple of hundred under one week and then burn out trying to make up for it the following week. So my goal is to maintain an average $1000 on cam a week for this year. I've been having some troubles with the site crashing this month, so I've given myself a $50 buffer incase it's a shitty week, just to keep myself sane.
I really want to get myself to $1250 by summer time... but for now I am sticking to a steady $1000.

Kudos to all of you who are hitting and surpassing 1k! It's great to hear how y'all are doing and it sure makes me see that if I am not making the goal I have only myself to blame. I missed the goal and I am going out of town today so my week is over. It's my own fault for getting psyched out by a super-slow Monday morning (usually one of my busiest times).
http://i.imgur.com/HJ2s2Kq.jpg
I went back on Monday night and did better so over the week I moved my shift from (early!) morning to night. It was an adjustment for sure but I just did not put in the hours this week. However I am happy I made this schedule change and it's probably good to make the transition during a slow week.
So, for the actual numbers, I only hit 760 for this week. However, I am sure that being in this challenge motivated me to get at least as close as I could to the goal. In the past I would have thrown in the towel and hoped for a better next week. So, like airline pilots say, I'm going to make it up in the air and aim for an average of 1k/week this month. And then, on to that 2k thread.

In one week, I managed to pull in $1650.00. This IS including the three sites I work for (Streamate: $1050.00, MFC: 401 & Chaturbate: 225), but I love the idea of being able to work with a different group of traffic. It tends to keep me more awake and focused instead of passing out, lol. Just a tip, sleep voyeur shows, and regular voyeur shows help tremendously. In a week on SM, I make about $400 just from sleeping and living (I usually offer a free picture or some bonus and charge 2 bucks.) Just don't forget to wake up! Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! <3
I've spent 934.48 mins on cam this week which is the most I think I've ever spent on cam in my camming history! (Actually feel kind of ashamed for that, lol. I should have been spending waaaaaaaaaaaaay more), but overall I am really celebrating because this has been my most successful week ever because of my efforts.
I've been also projecting a much more happier, sweeter, kinder, and more entertaining persona.. something I feel has helped a lot. It's hard to keep the energy for long periods of time, but it's easier to hold it up when income is better and you take breaks!
For anyone who hasn't met their target this week, please, please don't damn yourselves. I cannot even explain how many times I've come to this thread, posted (or not posted! But set myself targets anyway!), and ended up failing... It's happened a lot more than once. But if you are still crushing on your goals, you WILL get them eventually. Not only that, but you will likely end up surpassing them. And that will set the momentum for you to maintain that goal for the next week.
I wanted $1000 but made more than that, so now, by comparison, $1000 for next week seems easier.
For every "failed" week, just think of it as another week closer to you meeting your goal - because it's going to happen if you want it.

Made $706 this past week for up to rounded up 9 hours online spread over 3 days. One of these days I only worked one hour because of software difficulty lol -__- I was on my period and extremely lazy this week. There's also something about setting goals that encourages a sort of mental block for me... Maybe because I'm still so new to camming so I need to prove to myself that these figures can happen consistently. So within certain guidelines, I will 'wing it' for this week, starting tonight :D

Maybe this will help. When thinking about your goals start feeling negative to you - like when you really want something, but it starts to feel like it's unattainable - just kind of drop them for the time being. Have a nonchalant attitude, to take away some of the importance.

Ladies - how was your Monday? Mine was awesome. I told myself all day "I will make $350, I will make $350..." and guess what? I made $365. =) Quite pleased. I also made $105 in clip sales over the weekend without even logging in. Love it!
