Gotta put in these hours hours hours!

MsMocha, are you camming on Naked? That's the only free chat site I'm on these days, and I'm also on MGF. I have accounts with other cam sites but I never log in. I may or may not get my butt back on Chaturbate but I've got a non-camming related business deadline I'd like to reach so I just don't know where I'll find the time for another free chat site and my computer sucks too bad to splitcam. Plus I don't think chaturbate/naked would be a very good combo for splitting.
Tonight was SOOOOOO slow! I put in double the amount of hours and only made about half of what I normally do on a Tuesday evening. Dafuq? I mean I know I didn't work as many days this month as I would have liked to but DANG! Looks like I'm going to be pulling a couple of extra morning shifts this week to make up for it.

Yup it was my first site ever and I've never ventured too far from it lol I wouldve got on SM last night since naked was slow but it kept giving me an error message right after I click start my show..

What browser are you using? I get an error on SM every time I try to use Chrome, but it works fine with Firefox. I won't use IE unless I absolutely have to so I don't know about how it works with SM.
Everyone in my place is sick so I'm at $100 for the week right now. But I'll have a long weekend to myself so it should get better.

Yesterday (and maybe even on Monday?) I got the error message too, and I was using Firefox as usual. It annoyed me because I was chatting with a cool SM guy who I haven't seen in a while, and them BAM...it disconnected me.

I doubt I'll make 500 this week, I've been soo sick and unable to cam until today... perfect. I have a shitload of bills to pay too.

02-21-2013, 09:41 AM
@Selinas, I'm sorry to hear you've been ill, I know how that is and how frustrating it is when you want to cam but you can't. Do you have other non-camming sources of income as well? That has really saved my butt when my body won't cooperating with me camming for too long.
selinas
02-21-2013, 10:39 AM
^ Thank you :) I don't have any other incomes right now unfortunately. I do have lots of time to cam this weekend, and some stuff to sell off so it'll be alright I guess, just need to be more careful with money for a couple of weeks.

I have a 2 week goal of $1000 for my MFC paycheck and I'm 47% there and have till the end of the month! It's gonna be REALLY CLOSE! If this was a full month, it would b in the bag, but should be able to pull it off! *Crossing fingers*

saw this thread and thought we couldnt do it(even though we are two people) and as of now, seven days in, we are $15 from the minimum goal. It wasnt till recently that things started picking up a little. Yay. Good luck everyone. if we can do it, you can too. Hopefully we can get $15 in four more hours lol

omg ladies I need to really start applying myself! My goal for this week is $500 and I'm planning on camming m-f. I'm posting this to try and keep myself accountable. I'm gonna alternate between SM and MFC. I can see myself really liking MFC since it's more about personality and doing your own thing, I just need to log on a lot and try and get a fan base going? and when I did go on MFC last week I had absolutely no technical problems (which was really nice for once...looking at you SM...)

I cant give any advice on MFC since I havent been successful there thus far but we have the same goal and schedule :) Lets keep each other motivated! Another idea for the thread just popped into my mind, which is to kind of use a "buddy system". Either text (text apps if you dont wanna put your info out there like that) or messaging another girl who has the same schedule as you?

Wowowow! I started the challenge yesterday and I'm already at $230! I worked like two hours yesterday and about the same today, so after working a factory job a few months ago and thinking about how I made less in 10 hours than I do now in 2 reeeally gets me pumped! I'm gonna keep pushin to make that $500 goal this week! Pretty sure it'll be the first time I've brought in that much in a week! I've been soooo lazy about working! @

I'm at 70% of my 2 week goal. I wanted to keep going this morning but my kid woke up at 6am ugh! I'm staying awake for a dr appointment and gonna try to get on for a couple hours before I crash. I need $300 more in just under 3 days. It's doable but not exactly a sure thing. Sigh...
This thread is helping me stay motivated to get on cam as much as I can. It's nice to have a group to support our goals in camming! YAY! *group hug*

Um, I also need an accountability partner!!!! Between my other projects and stuff going on in my personal life I am SOOOOOO lazy to get on cam! I've been on for the last three hours, only got one show but at least it was a long one so I am 35% to what I want to make today. I've set high goals for now through Thursday. My goal for the week is to cam from today through Thursday, possibly take off Friday and/or Saturday, and definitely work on Sunday. I know I can make money but my site is Sooooo slow and I feel so unproductive waiting in between shows. I feel like such a failure. I want to add another site but I need to wait until after I have paid off my taxes; I don't want to waste even more time establishing myself on a new site when I have this time sensitive goal.
I need motivation :( Yesterday I was so ready to cam, did my hair and makeup, put on camming clothes, got my toys out, everything. Then I started talking to this guy, and then I got into a huge fight with a friend of mine and I was upset so I just got drunk instead. I. Fail.

Nights were good then dead, switched to mornings, they were awesome then went dead... tried middle of the day and made $300 today on mfcs. $200 to go this week... here's hoping I have the patience to keep switching hours and stuff there after I have a bad week (last week was bad).

Today's the first day of the week for me and I'm already at 23.5% to my weekly goal. I wanted to keep camming but after a rather loud goal show my neighbors started knocking loudly and repeatedly on my bedroom wall. I freaked out because I had just read another thread about a girl possibly facing eviction for camming in her apartment, and the knocking was loud enough that my viewers heard and got scared for me that I was going to get in trouble. Oh my gosh, I'm still a bit shaken up so I'm calling it a night, I've just got to go hard for the next 3 days and I'll be good.
RaineyLane
02-26-2013, 06:05 AM
Even though I'm not happy with the amount I earned tonight ($40) I stuck with it for about 3 hours to see if it was gonna turn. I'm also proud of myself for putting in really consistent hours this pay period. I'm 74% to my 2 week goal and time is running out. Its gonna be close BUT no matter what I will be happy that I stuck with it and hope for better results next time. It's a marathon not a sprint right?! And there is a chance I can still make the money goal! :)

I'm going to start the challenge on Friday! I am out of town until then and on Friday my son goes to his dads until Sunday (maybe Monday) so I'll be able to cam whenever :D
CourtneyRaine
02-27-2013, 02:10 AM
Slowest. F#cking. Day. EVAR!!!! I've been camming on and off from 9am to 1am and barely just broke $100. Fml. Oh, and part of the reason is because my site has been glitchy and at least two guys (that I know of) tried taking me private but got a message that I was offline so they couldn't. Dafuq???? Had support look into it and it seems to be fixed now but I'm pissed because I don't know how long private was disabled but I know I lost good money from that and I'm gonna have to work my booty off for the next two days to make up for it. But this isn't the camming sucks right now thread :)
The good news is, I stuck it out like the bad bitch I am and after only two days into this week's challenge I'm at 45% to my goal. Even though I've been having a splitting headache that has me near tears from the pain and gastrointestinal problems all day that I usually would have taken a day off for previously, I sucked it up, took all the breaks I needed but I did NOT stop and I'm really happy. Okay I'm exhausted, I haven't eaten since Sunday because my GI issues are too painful and I'm scared to put solids in my system, and I am so stressed and upset due to relationship stuff. Doesn't matter. In this moment I still feel good because I have been focusing on my financial goals, camming through the pain rather than quitting, and my hard work is paying off ahead of schedule. I know I'll reach my goal this week. I was originally going to take Friday and Saturday off but what can I say, the more I make the more I want to make. So motivated to just have a camarathon.
Oh, and I've set a new goal for myself: I am 80% sure I am going to move to Mexico at the end of this year. Still working out the logistics, apartments are cheaper there but I'm not sure about the cost of a visa, and I will definitely have to take a class to renew my driver's license and then buy a car so it's actually going to cost me a lot to move. But I don't care! If the visa situation isn't too complicated and my sweetheart can help me find a place and get my Spanish up to at least mediocre I am game. After I cover my bills and what I owe in taxes, if I just make $500 camming every week I'll be able to save $8,000 by the time I'm ready to move. That's not counting my non-adult income. Not too shabby, considering I'm already close to Mexico so I can drive instead of fly and I'm finding some nice furnished 2 bedrooms down there for cheaper than I am currently paying for my unfurnished 1 bedroom. So.... I think I'm going to be in this $500/week challenge for a while!
It probably sounds so pathetic because I have been camming for so long and I should be earning more than right now this but honestly, between my mental health and physical health these past few months I've just not been putting in the hours to make the money I used to. But now I have a goal that doesn't require me to make big money, it just requires me to be consistent, and I WANT to be consistent because I want to get my butt out of the States and I've finally figured out a way to do it.
I am so sorry I am rambling, for the past few days I've been taking sleeping pills to get to sleep and caffeine pills to wake up, I am really really tired and I ramble when I'm tired. But I have to go to sleep now so I can cam tomorrow bright and early.

passionflower
02-27-2013, 09:55 AM
I made my goal thanks to phone sex, indie cam shows, and selling content last week. It was a lot of work and I got lucky by having time I hadn't expected.
The first part of every week sucks for me. Between the day job and family I can't keep a regular schedule. I'm spending more time this week making content and working my customer lists. I wish I had the skills to hustle in free chat. I admire girls who can make what I make in half the time.
Since this thread is focused on camming instead of phone and content I'll let you pros go for it. :)
CourtneyRaine
02-27-2013, 10:40 AM
May I ask how many hours do you work average a week to reach that goal of 500?
For me, my site is very inconsistent with traffic so sometimes I'll go 2-3 hours making nothing and then I'll get one good show show and make $60 off of it. On good days during my prime hours I'll make $100 in 2-3 hours so with that math I'd only need to do 10-15 hours a week but in actuallity, there are still a lot of slow days in between and it can vary tremendously from week to week. The more time you put into camming over the weeks and months the less time it will take you to reach your daily goal is all I can say for certainty.
And Rainey, YES you can come visit me in Mexico, I'm not gonna know anyone there! I was originally thinking of moving down to Nogales because it's very close to me, but my sweetheart says Nogales is ugly and I should move to Tujuana because he loves it there and he assured me I can get good internet access in Tujuana so I can keep working without a problem. So I guess Tijuana it is!

It's Thursday morning and I'm 83.5% to goal! My challenge ends on Sunday night so I am pretty much positive I'm going to pass it.
My two goals for this week were to 1. make rent (check!) and 2. be one of the top 100 girls on my site this week. Naked gives the top 100 models who earned the most a cash bonus every week, and I've never placed because I never put in enough time before. I don't know where I stand compared to the other girls so far but I think I'll have to make $550-600 to place. I'm already at over $400 as of now so I'm hoping if I can keep going strong I can FINALLY see my name on the list!
I will admit, I have been going HARD. I've taken a lot of breaks but I've been up for almost 24 hours just camming, recovering for an hour or two when I get sick, and getting back on cam. I'd like to keep up an intense pace from now until I finish saving for my taxes, which I'd like to do by March 15th. Maybe not 24 hour camarathons, but intense. I won't achieve anything if I don't have a goal.
In order to kick this challenge's butt after slacking so much the last few weeks I've been putting in some unusual hours. I've really liked working overnights the guys are nicer, more talkative, and my hourly is higher than during the day. I'm going to fool around with my sleep schedule and see if I can become nocturnal. I tried to switch to a nocturnal night schedule to cam about a year ago and my body couldn't adapt. Maybe this time I'll be better. I make crap during the day and do well in the evenings and nights so if I can make my body cooperate I'll actually have to put in far less hours on cam.

I'm at 87% of my 2 week goal. So fucking close! I have until midnight my time. Gonna sleep and cam when i wake up. I want that $1000 paycheck damnit! No matter what I put in the work so i'm proud of myself but I want the $$ too! :)

ok I'm in...
I'm aiming for $2000 a month between dancing and camming though. I only dance about 4 days a month though. This week I'll dance 2 nights and I want to be able to put at least $100 per night in the bank.
I'm coming back to cam from hiatus, so I will aim for $300 a week. Su, M, W, Th, F, SA. $50 a day in a 3 hour span (average). How hard can it be? Since it's the middle of the week and I'll aim for $150.
I'll be back to update!

Alright, I need me some motivation (and seeing a whopping $3.40 in my bank account definitely is some...) so I'm going to be joining this. I don't want to set my goals too high for my first few weeks return (I've been a bad, bad girl and haven't worked since January :x). My week will be starting Saturday morning once my in-laws leave, and last until next Saturday. $500 baby! I'm going to be writing my schedule and working on which hours I think will be best for me. I'm also going to dip into the MFC pool and see where it takes me.
