I have no idea how you girls do this, and have a social life. I did 36 hours last week and only pulled in $900. I am in awe.
I actually only worked 18 hours all week. I wish I could work 36 hours, I'd probably die! LOL My kids wear me out way too much to work that many hours, unfortunately. :-/
Wow ,your so strong.I know your super tired.I remember being a housekeeper during my pregnancy days and it was not an easy task.Dont worry its almost over :)
Thank you! :)

I don't socialize, I party hard, I dont have time to socialize but when its time to get down, its time and could care less who is around.
No friends that can hold me down or require attention, rid those, if you have the heart.
I work around my family time
have a family calendar to know whats up and for how long
Kinda have it set for a week what I am going to do and trust me it gets fucked up, plans cancelled etc
I promise myself to not make under a certain amount weekly
I will go off my last year earnings, pick the lowest week and DEATH ON CAM lol before I go under that number any week of the next year.
Hustle gets stronger, pockets get deeper and then there is uncle SAM , motherfucker.

Thank you girl for posting this. I need to buckle down and not trip out on slow days. I'm working on patience which is hard for me because I don't have much for free chat on cam sites. I need to hit my goal weekly and not just log off and fuck around.

We just need an attitude adjustment and to buckle down. I will admit I was so used to just getting shows and not really have to do something that I hate having to actually work for it in free chat. It's a new cam world girlie and we can make two grand a week if we work for it and don't let anything hold us back. I also think I need to pick sites that fit me better and not just do a site because I'm used to it or I am comfortable on there.

my secrets are just do as many hours as u can, setting a minimum # of hours is great (it helps me want to work longer days) and dont worry about $ too much because you will make less (or limit how much u make) just do the best u can and work hard when online and dont check earnings while online- just work till u really can notttt anymore and check when ur off.
i dont always take my own advice but i swear its really really good advice, i always make my goals when i follow it lol ;)

Honestly, my social life was put on hold for a while. However I've realized that it's possible to work 40 hours, have your weekends off with your friends, and still make $2k. I got to shop, have lunch and dinner, and wine with my friends this past weekend.
In my defense I don't have children or a SO to cater too so it's possible that I just have a lot more time on my hands. These past 2 $2k weeks for me were on a very part time basis though. I was struggling for a bit, being lazy, not logging in but 1-2 days a week for a few hours and my bills took a hit. Finally I started buckling down, changing my way of thinking (positively), changing how I viewed, saved, and budgeted and the money started throwing itself at me. Quite a few regs came out of nowhere offering big money for requests so I'll chuck it up to luck as well.
I agree with hottie, start crunching numbers, work out a budget for yourself and a work schedule and stick to it. Once I changed my attitude towards myself, money, situation everything started working in my favor. I got sick and tired of struggling. Now, I've just started making $2k a week and it can drop at anytime if I drop my hustle but I don't plan on that happening if I want it bad enough.

This is one of my major issues, I do have a family calendar where I plan out everything, but I tend to not be as "strict" on it as I should be. So if I'm running behind on things, everything gets shifted rather than me cracking down and making sure I don't get behind. Honestly this is probably the biggest reason I miss shifts, I'm not strict enough on my family routine/schedule. Like tonight... one of my kids got to bed an hour and a half late and I didn't work because I was exhausted from trying to tackle his stubborn red head butt! 3 year old + red head = HELL! lol ;) Just kidding... he's my sweet baby... THAT'S the problem here! LOL

and this is me.. omgawddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just cant lol but I do
and then my kid gets sick
My day was awesome until 2:15 lol and the Dr office I swear made her sicker
I cam while she took a nap earlier this evening and did great, log on tonight
and a
customer tells me he is doing me a favor taking me private and he deserves my phone number for text?
um ok and you like my lipstick, is that what you said? lol
(I am not even in the mood already dealt with one dumb ass today and this will change me into fuck everyone mode)
This is a weird week but the numbers are still there to manage and make it.
its easy to build but I did this through years of going off the last years lowest week which usually is not bad, I had one year I made a check of 4hundredsum ( i was so pissed) so the next up from that. A number I know I can get. I get mad if I am not sitting nice by Tuesday. My sitting nice on Tues/Weds use to be my ending week on sat.

I'm gonna bump this thread, because this has been my goal for the past month now, and I hit it three out of the four weeks. I'm trying to keep it, because starting next week, I'll be the breadwinner while my husband goes back to school full time.
It's gonna suck to see his income go, but we totally got this. Here's to building our future! *Raises whiskey glass*
So I kinda need this thread. lol.

Thanks for bumping, Audri, you can do it! I've already joined the $1,000 challenge but I have a feeling I might finish in here. Definitely going to aim for it from now on. I have a house to buy.

I'm with you AudriTwo! After last month being f*&king awful I'm determined to actually take advantage of biz picking up again. For too long when it was busy I would cash out a couple hundred bucks in a few hours and log off because I made goal so quickly instead of taking advantage of the fact that I was making money! I made almost a grand on SM last night because I kept going and the money kept coming in! I've NEVER made that much in a night alone just on SM!!! As an artist, it was really hard for me for a long time to give up on doing my art and being creative on the side, but I'm starting to realize that I'll never make budget for any of my upcoming projects if I don't just buckle down and focus 110% on my shows, social media presence and reaching my max potential. After an extremely frustrating summer, these past couple weeks have reminded me why I love camming so much. Even if I don't make $2000 a week, or if I make twice that, I'm just going to put in the maximum amount of time and effort and see how far it takes me, so at the end of the day no matter what I can say I did my best.

I want to get to this challenge! I've been at the $1000+/week level for over a year and it's time to step up my game to the next level. Now that I have placement on SM, it should be easy with enough hours. You ladies are such an inspiration. I'm grateful to be among such awesome group!

How many hours are you ladies planning to put in this week to make your goals?
IvyAdams

Okay, I'm in for this. $2000 is my goal for this week anyway! not sure how many hours I'll have to work to acheive it but will post later in the week once I have more of an idea.

@DeepThoughts I'm going for $2500 too! I wasn't able to get on cam very much this past week because we kept having people over so I gotta make up for lost time. I'm aiming for 15-20 hours on SM depending on how indy does this week.
webcamcutie
08-17-2015, 07:42 AM
My goal this week (usually is every week) but this week I'm determined to work more hours and get this as a low goal and 2500 as a high goal. We got this ladies!

Decent prices, promotion, split camming, selling content as well. It's not hard to earn 2k or even 3k a week doing 15 - 25 hours or so a week x

08-19-2015, 06:27 PM
I'm doing this. My goal is every check to be 2k+ It took me 6 months to get comfortable camming to understand how to make money and balance life. It's not about burning out and camming 17 hrs a day. Ever notice how u can have a shift and mAke more than doing a tired 10 hr day? Be rested and ready to rock!
IvyAdams
08-19-2015, 09:20 PM
Well- I'm still shooting for $2K this week even though I haven't been able to log into SM at all until tonight and then it was a grand 2 hours before it kicked me off and wouldn't let me log in AGAIN. Hoping I can just cam it out through all the glitches tomorrow through Saturday and still end up where I want to be. Fingers crossed!
EDIT: With the extra 20% bonus coming in from SM this weekend my faith is restored in this challenge! YAAASSSS!

08-22-2015, 01:36 AM

08-22-2015, 02:46 AM
Despite all the glitches and crap traffic the last few days I'm sitting at 1600/2000 (without bonus cause i don't know if we'll get the bonus from today on this weeks pay or not), time to go to bed and pull a 6-7hr tomorrow and hope I can rack in the other 400!
DeepThoughts
08-22-2015, 06:36 AM
Well I failed. Im gonna role it over to next week cause Im about $500 short and I need to go out now. Still cant believe I did this well with all the glitches. Friday was a total no go for me with all the glitchies and shitty traffic or I might have made it. Next week Im getting this for sure!

That moment when, its 20 mins before the PP ends and your 50 dollars away from your goal.
Oh well, I'd consider with the way the tech issues were all week and that if we got the bonus on this weeks check, I exceeded the goal. I'm going to give myself a pat on the back for all the hours I invested during hell to basically reach it. Whoot, on to next week! Now hurry up Tuesday after 8pm so I can finally get some sleep.... f^%$, lol

08-22-2015, 06:38 PM
Well, the goal is $2150 for the pay period. I'm trying my damned hardest to be debt free by the last day of September, so yeah. Lots of hours, haha. I'm already on my way though, since I'm only counting earnings made this pay period on SM at the moment, meaning the short show I had right after cut off and the bonus from yesterday that will pop up soon. Woot! $33 down!
That said, I am thinking I'll start back on MFC in the next week. I have to film some videos to sell first though, so I'm only blocking out like 2 hours per day for MFC and that'll be after my daily goal is met on SM.

1/3 of the way there and finished day 2 early and even passed the f out on my couch last night and didn't get on. Hoping to get over 1/2 the way there by tomorrow afternoon then take an official night off and rest. Don't want to end up 50 short again this week (that sucked). These hours are whooping my arse! Sitting on cam so much is a young gals game, I'm too old n sore for this (32 going on 50 next Wednesday on my birthday I swear!) I'm having fun of making fun of the freeloaders though, upside to that. Lol.
