Hey can i join ? lol I actually havent even streamed on SM yet.(every time i try to I either chicken out or my family needs me to do a painstaking task) i got my account approved and my premium -6.99/ exclusive-5.99. Im kinda worried that guys may feel Im too expensive but thats my minimum "worth", and if I cant do this challenge (soon) with that rate then I will just have to look elsewhere lol 500 a week would be amazing, but 600 a week would be tears of joy awesome! good luck to the rest of you ladies :D

But thanks sophie, I will let you know how it goes(imma give it a week or two) if everything goes well then I am gonna be one of the biggest cheerleader for raising rates! ;D Good luck to you too!

Didn't make the $1000 (almost 2 weeks) paycheck! :( But I am %10 to the next one. It's so slow! I don't wanna complain... but shit! I have been putting in the hours and waiting... for the results... the money to flow. I really hope it gets better soon! Crossing fingers! :)

Definitely the motivation I've been needing...I've been so inconsistent since May of last year and the bad thing is that I know better. Just a matter of putting in the hours and setting goals and eventually it won't take as long to make them. I'm going to shoot for later tonight...if not then definitely in the morning. Good luck gals...let's make this a great week!

ok I'm in...
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, Since it's the middle of the week and I'll aim for $150.
I did $336 in 2 days! I was aiming for the $350, but I'm ok with coming up short. It would have been more, but those who have seen my post in the Stripping section understand what I did to hinder more earning. This is a new week, I'm auditioning at a new club, and sticking to my Cam schedule! Aiming for that $500!!! Considering getting an early start on the camming part in a few hours! Then later tonight I shall spend my hard earned money on Dunkin Donuts and strippers!

do you guys start your week on Sunday or Monday?
I've worked the last couple of days, not a full week but I think 500 will be very doable on one site doing a few hours a day.
I'm looking forward to when I feel comfortable with other sites and switching around a bit.

I set my week from Monday-Sunday, since that's how my site sets it for their weekly contest.
Made my goal last week! Thank you girls for giving me motivation!!! Actually I pooped out after my 24 hour camarathon but thanks to MGF I was able to reach goal without being exhausted in free chat.
New week starts today! I'm hoping for another $500 this week. My plan was $100 M-Th and then take it easier F-Sun. But.... I may be experiencing some MAJOR changes in my life over the next few weeks so I don't know when I am going to manage to work, I know it will happen but what's going on in my life is... well it's life changing :) So I'll have to figure out how to cam around everything else.... But I'll get it done somehow. I am so motivated!
I may be getting a new houseguest. God this is crazy.
I'm definitely down for this challenge every week from now through the end of the month at least. On top of my regular bills my goal is to pay off my taxes by the end of this month, then start saving for Tijuana!
(and maybe a wedding in my near future. Oh my God.)

I would like to join this thread. I am doing other things in the adult industry but where I live getting everyday consistent clients at the rate I charge is coming in really slow especially since I'm new. So I just started really giving camming a real try an in the past couple of days working late nights I've only made 40 bucks on chaturbate and 6 bucks on cams.com lol. Oh well I'll just keep trying. I just opened a clips4sale store. Hoping to start working on content for this site. Trying to make as much money as possible before my move to Florida. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Made $63 last night. Still couldnt stream on SM so I finally emailed support and apparently my adblocker was the issue but if I just stream through incognito it works fine :D Shooting for $150 tonight and $150 tomorrow night, its not $500 for the week but it covers my bills that will be due plus I'm not camming Thursday and possibly not Friday either.

I am NOT off to a good start this week! I made some money on MGF on Monday but then when I tried to cam on Monday night it was a huge fail. I don't know why but I was in so much pain I really thought I had appendicitis. I tried to fake it but one of my regs came in asking why I looked so sad. Guess I wasn't doing a very good job of faking it. He asked if I wanted to do a show and I actually said no because I was feeling so bad, I just logged out, took some pain meds, and went to bed. Then yesterday, yesterday was a BAD day for me emotionally. I had a miscarriage two years ago and it's coming up on the anniversary of that and I was just mentally a wreck, I spent the whole day crying my eyes out missing the daughter I lost. I'm still a bit weepy today. I plan on camming later. I can still make my $500 goal this week if I cam every day. It's so hard to find the motivation when you're going through a depression. But, I just keep thinking of moving to Tijuana in a few months. Also, mi amorcito is coming back to town soon and I know I'm going to want to spend as much time as possible with him so I've got to work now that I can so I can take a bit of time off when he is here. Just trying to stay motivated, but it's hard when you just want to curl up and die because you are grieving so hard.

I am NOT off to a good start this week! .
I am sorry for your loss. Don't be too hard on yourself for having a bad day or two -it makes sense for you to take it easy right now. I don't know if you're already doing it, but are you up to making content for places like ELM or C4S? That way you're doing something productive but not dealing directly with people. Sometimes just cleaning a small part of my house, even if it's just making my bed, with some great music on makes me feel a little more hopeful too. I hope you feel better.

This weekend was good. Monday and Tuesday sucked and Wednesday is being kind of eh. So hopefully it picks up as the week moves along.
I need to try out other sites though and start making content.

My goal is $500 a week, just for start. My real goal is US$ 1000 a week, but I don't even make 100 bucks... so I guess I must stick to a lower goal first.
I plan working around 4 hours a day, as I have a day job that takes lots from be (I even hasn't supposed to be here, hahahaha). It'll be hard working 8 hours daily and 4 more hours in the evening, but I guess sacrifice is what is going to give me money. I just can't sit on my ass waiting for money to fall from sky.
My slips are having lousy internet connection (2Mpbs download and just 0.25 Mbps upload... ONLY!) and lousy built-in cam/mic. I've settled it buying a new camera which arrived today (Logitech c920, so good!) and the internet connection is about to be installed at home, 4Mbps for both download and upload. I guess I will be able to make it HD then.
I've got another slip: it's hard to tell on camera because I almost didn't have any loose skin problems, but I'm an ex-obese girl. I've lost 132lb (or 60kgs). Stomach reduction. My body is pretty on shape but my breasts could be better. It's hard for anyone to notice even when I go fully naked, but one guy closed PVT right away when he saw my tits... must be a coincidence, but my paranoia says it's because they're a little saggy :( I'm trying to work out in my mind if I should keep working and building-up my fan base like I am right now (I really need the money) or if I fly low till I get my plastic surgery (which my health insurance covers as a complement for the stomach surgery). I'll need to be AT LEAST a month off-camera... and so goodbye my sweet money.
My sucess is building-up a really good persona: sweet and naughty girl, a little pin-up style... chatty and fun. It takes some time to get ready for work, but it seems like worth it, get lots of compliments. My hair is really fire red and I'm using luscious and wonderful blood-red lipsticks to match. Matches my fair skin. As I smoke eletronic cigarettes, guys go wild with my split lips letting the smoke going out reeeeally slowly... got many pvts for that, or at least surprises and tips. I also use lots of my voice, which people used to find really beautiful and luxurious even before this camming job. Guys find me cute and sexy on chat and on pvt. I found out really important to be friendly, smile ALWAYS and talk to people. Don't be too sharp on freeloaders, just if you get a catch-joke that will make everyone else in the room laugh. Being rude makes you look like a money-freak bitch (which we are, but do we need to show it? }:D). Don't go unproduced or without make-up online. You're a persona. You need to look perfect, the dream girl, the fun lady who will be whore in pvt (or in bed, in their dreams).
I plan on splitcamming, but not now. I've been camming for less than a week, so I'm still learning how to use which website, how to amuse clients and to keep up to my persona. I'll do that, but I need to acquire some control first. When I feel ready I'll go after that.
Just do make a little add-on, I've worked for 3 days now (8 hours if you count hours from the 3 days) and got 50 bucks. So little but I'm in my first week and still waiting for approval in some REALLY GOOD websites like SM, for example. Hope I can help here! And learn from you too, ladies ^^ I'll keep you updated, as well as I'll read the whole thread... yeah, I'm a reading-freak hahahaha...

I really want to join this challenge but I need to work my way up to it. Right now just starting back after almost a year off 500 is a big number for me. BUT I know I can get there. I put in more steady hours this week then I have since probably the first week I ever cammed and I have done okay so far. Not 500 yet, but okay for me. Hopefully in a few weeks of building my hours up and sticking to schedule I can crack 500 :)

Fallen angel, I've joined it even though I'm still in my first week but I think people are more productive when they have a goal at sign. It's hard to score when you don't know where to aim. I just made 50 bucks so far, but joining in makes me want to push me hard to reach it =D
If you think 500 is too much for you (like I thought 1000 would be for me) settle a goal for yourself... 200 bucks/week, for example. And go for it ;-)

Ladies, which time of the day or night do you think it's good for better income? Or maybe days of the week?
Monday was so lame I didn't get a single penny (but it was also my lame internet's fault) :(
Anyway, today I was looking for ways to work even if I'm in my period time (I don't think I can waste almost a week, right?) and came up subjects about cutting tampons' strings and using sea sponges. I enjoyed the second option and already bought my set online.
But damn, already feeling the cramps... and as I'm outside US (where is the online store I bought it) I'll need to deal with the tampon with cut string this month... :(
By the way, of course I want to reach the $ 500/week asap, but I think I'll reach it after at least 20 working days... need to get a little less noobie first...
AshleyRed
03-07-2013, 04:15 PM
I definitely think the best time of day varies from person to person. I've done really well on days that other girls are blowing up the camming sucks thread. I've made $3 when other girls were making bank. Maybe try observing your niche. I.e. If you're a red-headed BBW, then maybe try hours when there aren't already 2 BBW gingers with huge followings.
Hey ABigNerd :) I've been a BBW before but not now, hahaha (not really a BBW, I wasn't in the industry... I was just 130 pounds overweight, yet people loved my face - sad "oh, your-face-is-so-pretty-why-don't-you-slim-down shit). Nowadays I'm just average and planning to go slender, yet curvy, after plastic surgery. I had stomach reduction. I was happy being big till I got too big and started to have health problems, so I had to do something radical.
But I got a really big butt hahahaha XD anyway, besides the butt my hair is fire red and I work in a pin-up fun style (I like to compare to myself as a eastern naughty geisha). Fun and friendly on the chat, but provocative enough to get tips and drag my clients to PVT.
Which is my niche? If I say Latina people will think I speak spanish, which I don't. So they will figure out where I live =P Maybe red hair is a niche? I love BSDM too, and I swear it's not because of 50 shades of Gray. I'm thinking of doing a research on that. But I'll need to buy stuff and I'm still kinda broke as I just started and bought a good webcam, hired a good internet... no more spending for now.
I'm really a noobie. Have never been into sex industry. I did a research once in a convention related to my "real life job" and saved the project for later. But never got really into it and I even have to start watching porn to get ideas?
People tell me about balloons, poping balloons and making videos about popping ballons... got no idea what balloons have to do with sex hahahaha XD
Anyway, besides being a noobie I've always been "naughty", I guess it helps.

I'm about $140 away from the goal. And I've cammed A LOT less than normal, SM has been surprisingly good this week for me!
AshleyRed
03-08-2013, 05:58 AM
Thank you ABigNerd, I'll think of my niche and work it ^^
Now I'm sure I'll take some time to get to the goal the first time. I'm facing major issues with my internet connection. See, my upload speed is just 0.25 Mbps :( Guys even show up at my room and tell me I'm pretty blah blah blah blah... but it would be great if my camera wouldn't keep freezing and being horrible :( So I guess I'm losing major income here.
SM still didn't analyse my application and I can't work there... another major share from my work.
Another major issue I'm facing is my husband =P It's not his intention, but he keeps around me, just standing there behind the camera or peeping through the window. The window thing is ok because suddently I hear a noise and it gives me such a turn/takes off my concentration. But the worse is when he just stands behing the camera looking, or gets by the air conditioner to get cool (the only one in the house). It's like having a ghost in the room T.T but it's not his fault as I told you, I'm temporaly working at our own bedroom.
Actually I WAS working in our bedroom, because I'll set up my working room and just start working again when I'm there.
And this is his fault: I chose a white cute baby doll to work and my husband told me it would make my belly look stuffed ¬¬ I got so sad, which girl likes to hear that? He saw he said something bad and would peep on me in the room with the saddest look, because he made me sad =P he would keep distracting me though and I couldn't tell him how MAD I was: it made me more pissed off he would keep going around the room then the fact of telling me I looked fat...
By the way, just made 10% of the goal so far. Yesterday I've got 2 bucks only, at IMLive. I guess I'll give up camming till I get my good internet connection and I'll take this time to set up my profiles the best way they can be. This way, when I get to work again I'll have a good conection. At least my new camera arrived already and it is a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT... you won't believe how much better lightning and general overview improved... now I just need BETTER BANDWIDTH! And a working room out my own bedroom, so my husband won't keep going back and forth...

So i do not think i will make $500 this week. Tuesday was suppose to be my first day, but i did not start until yesterday. I made total of $100 yesterday, i tried all three sites that i signed up for (MFC, Naked and SM), did best on MFC so far, I was really hoping SM will do better by only $5 of it is from SM. Also, I never squirted before until yesterday in a show, i guess because of weird position/angle - it hit the spot and scared the hell out of me! Off to hot tub, to make my achy muscles feel better, and then back to camming. Thank you ladies for all the advise, this forum is awesome!!
AshleyRed
03-08-2013, 10:28 AM
I'll definitely not beat 500 dollars this week, and I think neither the next week. But I'll keep my slips and sucesses here.
Slips: I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong yet, but I've been in a lot of rooms and girls like the persona I chose seems to get a lot, but I don't. I don't know if it's because of my internet or I'm doing something wrong. I'm thinking maybe I needed to tease more and mention less like "tip" and stuff (I don't mention much, but I guess asking for tip instead of ignoring requests must be a turn-off...)
Sucess: Who didn't try IMLive yet, go for it. At least in my beginning it's making some money. Just watch out for the 30 second freeloaders: girls warned me guys who have tokens may enter pvt for 30 seconds FREE OF CHARGE and then the pvt really starts giving you money. Lots of guys did it to me and I even thought I was ugly for them :( Clarified me when I knew it. So you should set a camera, a sound and start reeeeally slowly and just do something really worthy for pvt money after 30 seconds! I've managed to make guys stay after 30 seconds and I've managed to make really upset guys who wanted to have a sneak peek for free, hahahahah! SUCESS!
An add-on: My MFC account got finally approved, yey!

Today I didn't work at my vanilla job or camming, but I did a major step to get my 500 dollar/week: settled up my permanent workplace =D
I've prepared a spare room that I have: cleaned it pretty well (took out clothes and other "turn-off stuff" it might have). Settled lights and place for camera... I've got a bed there and I'll also leave a chair for some more fun. It will be nice to have a place where I can really just work without worrying if I have something on the floor or if my husband wants to talk to me T.T
I've worked in F4F for a couple of minutes just to try and made 5 dollars XD I know it's little but I'm not really putting any effort this week as I'm settling my work place and internet connection :)
