At 33% until goal. I wanted to go back on cam to finish up my daily goal which I'm at 68% but I think I'll hustle Saturday or put in extra work tomorrow lol.

Just finished up day 2 of the week and I'm at 32% to goal. Not great, but considering I couldn't even break $40 the night before it feels really good to be back on track to complete the challenge this week. Oh! And my friend is going to hook me up with a specialist to help me try to figure out why I've been so sick for so long and hopefully cure my symptoms. Hopefully once my health is back on track and I can cam consistently like I used to this challenge will a be a breeze for me :) Until then I guess I'll just have to keep on struggling but as long as I make what I need, in the end I don't even care.

On my break and only at 40% of the challenge. The night is still young but it looks like I'm going to finish my morning shift and pull one tonight as I still have another 10% to go until I'm at my desired amount.

And I'm joining you ladies, I've been away from camming since December, I was visiting my bf in Europe and was only able to cam for a couple times since he lives with his dad. I've bee focusing on making clips on ELM, but I need to get back on cam, get back to my 500$ a week goal. I'm kind of nervous since I've been gone for so long!

I want to join this thread because I'm getting back after a 3 month break and I'm not sure how much I can do my first week after such a long absence (I probably don't have any regulars by now and will have to rebuild everything, placement, money and everything). My week starts tomorrow if nothing special happens. This $500 must be only camming money, not C4S.

Today is the last day of the week and I am 100% sure that I am not going to make my target this week. Not even sure I'll be able to get on cam later, I don't know why but I am having the Worst cramping even though I just finished shark week. I'm literally in tears over the pain. No worries, I am looking forward to starting the challenge again when a new week rolls around tomorrow!

I'm new, but I'm going to try this challenge too. I don't care if I make it or not, but I think it's good to at least try. And hey, if I make anything anywhere near it I'll be blown out of the water with happiness. It's good, positive inspi'! 8)
CourtneyRaine
04-28-2013, 11:50 AM
Welcome sweetiebelle! I like doing the challenge, even when I don't make it I find posting here helps to keep me accountable, and when I'm close and want to give up I just remember that I don't want to come back and post that I've failed so it keeps me motivated to suck it up and stay in free chat for a few more hours. My goal is actually $550/week because that will pad my savings nicely but my expenses are so low that I also don't feel too hard on myself if I don't reach it for whatever reason.
My goal for this week is to just be more consistent in free chat, I've been neglecting free chat way too much recently but I know I need to give both sites I'm on equal attention to get the most benefits. My problem is that I pull these ridiculous late nights/all nighters which screws up my sleep schedule as well as exacerbates my GI issues. Then I don't want to cam for the next few days because I can't sleep or I'm puking or whatever. If I can just put in a normal shift every day- not too long and not too short- I'll make so much more overall. I need to work on that this week. I think I say this every week :P

Thanks, Courtney! I totally understand having health issues and having to work it out for camming. It's something I've been fussing with since I've started. I'm just glad it's not a normal job where I have to go, on time, every time. It does make this a lot easier. I was offered jobs recently where I'd make more than I currently do camming, but my god, I'm addicted to it now. It caters to my freewheeling ways. ;D

so ive been slacking for like 2 weeks now, i have plenty of excuses, but they're all lame. So im starting challenge today! trying to stay motivated!
Ill let yall kno how it turns out <3
good luck ladies!
Count me in!!! Are we doing this mon-mon? This will inspire me to make what I need. Can someone please pose me the link on how to keep my pussy from getting sore?! Thanks!!
CourtneyRaine
04-29-2013, 10:25 AM
My week runs from Monday-Sunday but you can set it up however you like, really. As far is soreness, I don't know, the only free chat site I'm on actually doesn't bring me a lot of privates but with the rate I'm getting I only have to be in private for about 30 minutes a day to reach my goal. Usually it's less than that, though, because guys will always tip for flashes in free chat. On top of that I count my contributions on MGF as part of my goal as well so it's really not as taxing on the punani as when I was on SM.

04-29-2013, 10:41 AM
I think it's Sunday to Saturday.
CourtneyRaine
04-29-2013, 11:02 AM
^Yeah, the SM girls probably set their week from Sun-Sat because of the way the pay period is structured. On my site the pay period is Mon-Sun so that's how I do it. As long as you reach your goal for the week I don't think it matters, you just cam and be happy and make that money :)

New week starting for me so going for 500$ hopefully since I broke my cell yesterday and I need to buy a new one!
I have a good feeling about this week, good luck everyone!

Working 2 sites makes keeping track of weekly income more difficult but after slacking for few weeks I finally beat my high by $100! Made $800 last week! Only getting $525 this week and $561 next week from it so kinda split there due to pay periods but still whoo hoo!
BlueBunny
04-30-2013, 02:43 AM
I am counting Monday to next Sunday this week, because I totally screwed around this weekend, and did not work Sunday. 8% achieved so far. Made a spreadsheet with monthly bills plus other bills I need to save for. Hoping that will help me stay on track.
CourtneyRaine
04-30-2013, 12:02 PM
Last night was pitiful, only 12.45% to goal but I still did better than I did last Monday so I'm happy. I plan on working every day this week so that means I just need to make $73/day to beat the challenge. Super easy as long as I decide to not be a lazy ass and actually log on when I am supposed to. I just had a reg commission another non-nude custom which will be so easy and a nice chunk of change so I'm already off to a good start. Whoop whoop! AND I just added another site to the mix, hopefully I'll be up and ready to start earning before the end of this week so that will be another nice boost. I'm also feeling very good about this week even though last night was mind-numbingly slow.
CourtneyRaine

End of day two, 35% to goal. So nice to be back on track after such a crappy start to the week! I'm just really glad I had a good hourly tonight so I was able to log off early, really trying to get my sleep schedule back on track. Going to try to do a morning shift as well as evening/night shift tomorrow, just depends on how my tummy is doing when I wake up.
BlueBunny

I decided to follow the SM week since I did work on the 28th, so I am at 27% to goal after tonight. I looked at my stats and I don't know if realistically I can get to this goal this week. My percent of paid time has increased since I started a few weeks ago, but I'm still too low, and it feels like it's pure luck if I do make more than I'm used to. I should be able to reach at least 50% if nothing else.. Still got about 3 days to see what sort of miracle I can pull out of my butt. I'd say so far this week is at least the most I've ever made in a week.
PS. For ladies doing this challenge, are you new to the game or simply don't have as much time to give camming? My first week on SM started on the last day of March this year, and one week in April I didn't work at all due to shark week. I still feel like ultimate newbie because of this. My first two weeks, my time in paid was under 9%. Now I'm at about 15-22%. I pray this percent improves or at least remains stable. I refuse to imagine what it would mean if it went back down instead of up.

I didn't (and will not) work today, but will try to make up for it tomorrow and maybe attempt a weekend camathon to get back on track. If anyone is willing to give me virtual kicks when I said I'll work and I don't, PM me please, I desperately need someone to keep me accountable! I'm at around 20% only:(

PS. For ladies doing this challenge, are you new to the game or simply don't have as much time to give camming?
I've actually been camming for three years and doing it as my primary and sometimes sole source of income for most of that time. I just don't really do more than the bare minimum because 1. I've been having really bad health problems since last summer that often prevent me from working even when I want to. 2. My expenses are so low that even if I just make $500/week I'll still be able to save over $1,000/month. 3. I'm working on other non-adult related streams of income that I'd like to eventually do full time and transition away from camming, so the more time I spend doing that, the less time I have available for camming.

I love this club but I will be out of it for a few weeks. A girl needs her break!

^Miss you, boo boo. I wish I could take a break too, but I have to prove six months of financial documents in order to apply for and get residency in Mexico so I'm pretty much stuck here from now through October. Whomp whomp. If I don't earn at least $2,200/month for the next six months I won't be able to get a residency card, which means I won't be able to get cheap health insurance, which means I'll be screwed.
Marina Starr
05-01-2013, 11:57 AM
Thank you girl! I was just thinking of you. I hope all is well! I kinda only cam here and there. I don't think I really wanna do it as much as I used to.

^I don't blame you, it's draining. I haven't been very motivated to cam recently, either. April was so slow and seeing my hourly cut in half just makes me not even want to bother. But, I persist. I've been doing a lot of non-nude fetish videos lately which is just as good $, and am going to start back up with phone sex again just for a bit of diversity for when I can't convince myself to turn the cam on. Clips are really a great way to go when you want the extra money without the annoyance of free chat.

Yes it's very draining. That's why I'm thankful I have my other job. I'm glad you're branching out. I just paid my taxes so now I can relax a bit. I'm not too worry about regulars since I am a novelty.

Not 100% this week, only worked one day but i made like 160$ Hoping i will feel better so i can tackle my goal... went to ER this morning and got some meds and a referral, so maybe things are looking up, but it feels like Life is a bully giving me a wedgie every other week!
BlueBunny

I did not work today. :( Still at 27%. Last night really drained me. I need to dispute a crappy rating and I just didn't feel like turning on my work computer. Hoping for energy Thursday, and I definitely see a camathon in my future this weekend.

Finished with day three at 47.76% to goal. With four days left in the week I am on target to exceed my goal but I probably won't work much tonight, as I have to attend a webinar for the guest blogging job I am starting next month. Hoping to make at least a little something on MGF this afternoon and after the webinar so the day isn't a total loss and I won't have to scramble over the weekend. Also have to do training for a new gig tomorrow morning or afternoon so I'll be busy with that as well but hopefully it won't take too long and I can just keep on chipping away at this challenge.

I finished my week at 73%. It is bittersweet... Bitter because not reaching goal makes me feel like a loser, but sweet because this was my third week working since I started, and so far it has been my biggest week. Hoping I can improve my hourly take home next week. I put in a lot of hours this week daily to get to that number, and with school starting again Wed, it will be more difficult to stay on track.
Special_K
05-06-2013, 02:46 AM
Meh only got to 50%, however I didn't cam everyday... on the other side I am very motivated because I know next week will be better! :)
CourtneyRaine
05-06-2013, 10:34 AM
Finished the week at 72%, The crappy part is, my average for the days I did work was really good but I ended up taking three days off last week because I got lazy. So, I have a new strategy for this week. I think I figured out what I am doing wrong.
The past few weeks I've been camming in the evenings and into the small hours which completely throws off my sleep schedule and I get really bad headaches when I don't get enough sleep. Last night I had a migraine so bad I literally thought I was going to have a stroke. So, this week I am going to try to go to sleep by 10pm every day and work two shifts per day, one in the mornings, and one in the evenings. So more overnight crap. I worked yesterday morning and this morning and I forgot that I sometimes to really, really well so I am back to morning shifts. In fact I've been on for 1 hour and am at 10% for the week so I definitely need to keep this up.
I'm happy for this thread. It sucks having to report that I didn't complete the challenge but it's making me think about why and what I need to do to be better. I MUST exceed my goal this week!
ClaudiaReina
05-06-2013, 01:00 PM
OK, I failed this week because I was filming clips and didn't really cam, just a few hours on JBC.
My new week will start tomorrow and let's hope for the best:) I kind of forgot how to cam on a free chat based site (see SM thread:D)
CourtneyRaine
05-06-2013, 11:47 PM
End of day one, 21.2% to goal. Particularly proud because that is from my free chat site only. Thank goodness for that random stroke of luck this morning. I feel like i could keep going tonight but I'm going to take what I learned last week, apply it, and go to sleep now so I can work the morning shift tomorrow. The last two days have been unusually good for me, I am on a roll!
ClaudiaReina
05-07-2013, 02:40 AM
Yay, Courtney, good start!:)
I'm thinking I'll only count SM earnings this time (and maybe one other cam site), otherwise it gets confusing, because if I don't count C4S then I shouldn't count any other content income. My first day of the week will be today, can't wait to report back with a nice percentage:)
CourtneyRaine
05-07-2013, 10:05 AM
I don't count c4s or any of my non-adult stuff either. Just naked and MGF, because I cam on MGF in addition to selling content.
Well. Didn't make it this week. Any day now getting my period. So next week is a wash for me. UGH. But since I'm new hopefully it will go up every week! So hard when people just bounce in and out of your room. I feel like I have to light myself on fire and do flaming backflips to keep these guys interested. So depressing.
