I don't think I'll be able to order by the time I have the money for them. I hope best buy will still have some in stock. I waayyy slacked off the last 2 pay periods, but this week I'm ahead! Although buying everything last minute is going to blow.

I will be buying nothing! My family and I have a tradition of only making things by hand for each other- kind of like those weird Mormon families except we're all atheists. I'm an art student, so I make paintings for everyone.
I'll also be camming the night of Christmas Eve. It's a HUGE profit night for me (that and New Year's eve). It's gonna be a good couple of weeks :)

I love this thread I've been really pissed off with camming this past week, no patience! This is motivating me to work. My hustle will be to work everyday until Xmas splitting 2 sites. Not sure how much money I will be able to save but I aim to have enough to cover all Jan & Feb bills and pay for a sunshine holiday at the end of Jan.

Heyyyyyyyyy!
This holiday is gonna be super low key. I'm just gonna work 49 more days in a row, and save up for my 2 week holiday NYE vacay. I might get my lil bro something, maybe get my grandparents new PJs or slippers. And I'd like to get myself a bigger TV for the living room. That's about it.

Holiday hustle like most days work work work, but balance out to focus on all my endeavors so more income from everywhere :)
I do secret santa with my friends so one of them, my mom and my nanna. A small item for my sis and prob take out my current lover do a treat day for her (since i get one everyday :) )
I have been saving as much lately so if possible saving 15%-30% weekly but hoping to spend nowhere near the amount im saving.
I would love another gaming labtop, 1tb or more external hard drive. A nice spa day, and of course more spirits to add to my bar.

What will your "Christmas/Holiday Hustle" be? I get married two days after Christmas. Am I gonna milk this? Fuck yeah. I'm also going to up the holiday cheer. I fucking love the holidays. May do special pics, etc. I bought some cute holiday undies. I have a shit ton of decorations. And I do awesome holiday shoots (anyone in Socal looking for pictures?)
What are you planning to buy, and for whom? Nearly all of my money is going into the wedding, with maybe buying a few small things for people, to include my fiancé.
How much are you stashing away? (you don't have to answer this) as much as I can
What are your plans this year? Getting married, investing in myself.
What do you want this year? To not constantly worry about money

Bumping this again for this year! The first year I've set very specific goals to do very specific stuff and I'm ready to succeed! :)
What will your "Christmas/Holiday Hustle" be?
- consistently get online – its a big flaw, and I’ve discovered that guys really respond well when I am insanely reliable (reply to messages in a reasonable time, finish custom orders quickly) so I need to apply that to getting on cam as well.
- keep working social media – I’d like to see if I can drive a some excitement around the holidays. After Halloween I saw I didn’t do well because I didn’t make it an “event” people wanted to see me for. I’d like to see if I can really do something cool for this.
- try new stuff – I want to keep seeing if there is new sites/shows/ideas that will work for me. I think camming is changing all the time (and very competitive) so I want to see what works best for me
What are you planning to buy, and for whom?
My family and friends will mostly get stuff from etsy, just because its so unique and something they can’t get elsewhere. I got a list going and I think I will spend a little under $500 all together for everyones gifts.
How much are you stashing away? (you don't have to answer this)
Anniversary is in February, so I’m going to save about $1000 for a trip.
What are your plans this year?
Seeing my family! I never get to see them because I live so far away, so I’m going to get as much time in with them as I can.
What do you want this year?
I’d like the new Razer Kiyo, so I’m hoping it becomes available by then.

What will your "Christmas/Holiday Hustle" be?
-Streaming longer hours, since Indy has dried up for me for the most part, but SM has been very good to me....
-Implementing PSO....ive always been too scared of the phone stuff
-filming content if i can get a good camera or phone over Black Friday
What are you planning to buy, and for whom?
Just for my best friend and her family (who are pretty much my own family). Curated beauty boxes for the girls (makeup and beauty items handpicked by me), toys for the kids, no idea about the men
How much are you stashing away? (you don't have to answer this)
Hoping to be able to stash away $1000 by years end
What are your plans this year?
Home like every year
What do you want this year?
A new laptop (mine is just awful), a dslr camera, a new phone and the Razer Kiyo....im dying for that cam! Oh, and the $700 worth of makeup and skincare that I dont need sitting in my Sephora cart lol

For me, it will be real estate. Assisting buyers, sellers and renters. I’ll probably dance at a club every now and then if there’s a big money making season going on. But haven’t worked in the club in 2 years now.

This is a good thread Im glad y'all bumped it.:-*

11-01-2017, 03:20 PM
Oooh I'm a dancer but this is a good thread!
What will your "Christmas/Holiday Hustle" be?
- Working consistently! I seem to actually do better doing a few days in a row, keeps me in the zone
- Planning ahead; like, try to work extra the first 2 weeks of Nov/Dec so that I A) can enjoy the last 2 weeks of each doing holiday stuff/shopping, B) am not sitting in a dead club stressing all week
What are you planning to buy, and for whom?
Actual bigger ticket gifts: Mom & SO, 2 of my female friends. Cute boxes of smaller gifts (I like the beauty box idea): Grandmother/aunt/cousin and a few girl friends. My friend circle trimmed itself down, so I might use the extra leeway to do an adopt-a-family deal.
How much are you stashing away? (you don't have to answer this)
For gifts/decorations, $500. I try not to go apeshit.
What are your plans this year?
Staying here most likely. Maybe a trip to Disneyland :D
What do you want this year?
I have noooo idea.

What will your "Christmas/Holiday Hustle" be?
Being interviewed lately on 3 podcast has me thinking I need to really follow my own advice.
In the past I would work really hard to get myself going for a conference. but this year I want to show myself how close I can hit my targets from my $100,000 goal chart. focusing on the next (30 day/31 days). It's all about webcam shows, getting back on niteflirt, and setting up my shoots for my membership site relaunch plus exciting news for me setting up my apartment for my voyeur cameras.
What are you planning to buy, and for whom?
My god-son wants a nintendo I wasn't able to get it for his birthday that past in October. but I definitely want to make sure he gets it before the end of the year.
I know my mom wants a laptop. Dad will get a gift card to a photography store. grand-ma will get a surprised of $100 and grand-dad $50, and my step brother will probably get $50. and my step mom not sure yet maybe a bracelet. My sister is out training for winter Olympics and we aren't close so I am not going to get her anything. Then my boyfriend so happy he is easy to please so first thing is new lingerie for him to enjoy, and then maybe something from his wish list or a Blue Yeti Microphone in his favorite color.
How much are you stashing away? (you don't have to answer this)
Since I am follow Dave Ramsey baby-steps - Step 1 is $1,000 in an emergency fund. that is my first target. Then I will work up to 3 to 6 months of expenses. maybe even 1 year of expense. since for 2018 I plan on getting cosmetic surgery. I need to make sure there is enough money in there to cover when I am down for recovery. My tuba-ligation surgery thought me I got back to work to fast.
What are your plans this year?
Get myself in the routine , mindset and results of putting myself on a path for $100,000 earnings from cam shows + niteflirt, and have my other affiliate income streams in place.
What do you want this year?
Just to prove myself I can get what I want and create more financial stability for myself. I will hopefully be able to redecorate my whole apartment as well. at least have a sofa bed in my living room and finish my bedroom.

Reading it feels so good I decided to not celebrate Christmas any more :)
I literally have to spend/save 0$. Yay!
avalon_rose
11-03-2017, 05:32 PM
Getting back on cam within the next few days and keeping it up steadily WITH doing PSO work as well. Make as much money I can working as many hours as I can to establish a healthy savings - emergency savings, down payment for a new car, and possibly for a new place, in addition to some other things just to have a cushion.
On top of that, presents for my family that are usually better than usual because the past few years I've been shitty with gifts.
Mostly, just using this time where motivation seems to crackle to get into very good habits to last me through the new year and keep up with even after the holidays are over.

How have I never seen this thread before?! Love it.
What will your "Christmas/Holiday Hustle" be?
12 hours a shift from 6PM-6AM GMT minimum in order to get back in front after a diabolical October. I want enough money to hopefully move out of my mobile home in the new year to save money on internet and buy fibre to be able to splitcam lots of sites at once.
What are you planning to buy, and for whom?
I've already informed my family that I wont be buying presents this year so I can save enough for my unbelievable tax payment in January. The downside of earning lots of money I guess.
How much are you stashing away? (you don't have to answer this)
I want to have earned as close to $20,000 from now to January as possible so that I can have $5000+ stashed away by the time dead February kicks in.
What are your plans this year?
I plan to move out, upgrade all my tech/equipment and really start splitcamming both free chat and non-free chat sites at the same time. I want my net to be cast even wider every time I log on for the hours I put in.
What do you want this year?
To be debt free and in a lovely house/flat funded solely by my camming alone. The best feeling I ever get is knowing that I'm supporting myself and my household without having to ask anyone for help, love being independent in every sense.

What will your "Christmas/Holiday Hustle" be?
Keeping up with my days on and maintaining my weekly averages. Not really shooting for the stars this season, but if I can keep up with how i've been doing, I'll be happy!
What are you planning to buy, and for whom?
Father, step-mom, younger brother, in-laws, grandparents - no clue what I'm getting yet, but I always spoil my brother rotten
How much are you stashing away? (you don't have to answer this)
Anything over my expenses!
What are your plans this year?
I'll be traveling back east to spend time with family!
What do you want this year?
Tough question. I've bought so much stuff this year that I'm literally running out of things I could possibly want/need.
Probably clothing/makeup giftcards. Lately I've taken an interest in molding my wardrobe to perfection so why not work at it some more?

3 presents ordered today, and after money comes in Monday, I'll set aside my savings for this week. Things are going really well so far!

Making as close to 1k/week. If I make it in time I might take the last week from this year or the first week of January off.
What are you planning to buy, and for whom?
I dont celebrate Christmas this year.
How much are you stashing away? (you don't have to answer this)
I want to be debt free by January 1st 2018. stash away what I can and dont be behind on bills.
What are your plans this year?
Quitting camming and moving to another country.
What do you want this year?
Be debt free,do some little plastic surgeries, save money and exit the industry.

I just got over the WEIRDEST summer of my life, a very complacent recovery period, and then two illnesses back to back so I'm really stoked so see this thread bumped. Christmas is always really motivating to me and I'm ready to get on in there!
What will your "Christmas/Holiday Hustle" be?
I'm going to start with a regular schedule on two different sites. Four hours a day per site. Next week I will order a new webcam with cam earnings. I'll narrow down what schedules work for which sites, and start milking sexting and skype shows again.
What are you planning to buy, and for whom?
I'm gonna get the kid a bunch of random junk. My grandma an amazon echo because she is blind and lord will it help her life. I have a lot of people who I'll be making little "gift boxes" for (basically little things like bath bombs, face masks). I'm going to get ME the best christmas tree on the lot and some cozy christmas pajamas.
How much are you stashing away? (you don't have to answer this)
I want to go into January $1000 richer than I went into December. I want to have most of my gift shopping done by the end of this month.
What are your plans this year?
I want to be able to take over all of the bills on my grandma's house, and in the most ideal situation set up a life estate between us in which I pay for the home to her estate for it to be fairly distributed to her heirs.
What do you want this year?
I want to create a schedule and routine that makes me feel successful in my mind, body, and career. I feel like I end up picking and choosing rather than really enriching all three important facets of my being.

3 more presents out of the way and the water bill paid early. Trying to get motivated to work the rest of the week, I am worn out! Probably going to just put my clip sales in my savings, so I don't get tempted to use it. Next week is going to be the real challenge with only 4 days for me to work.
naomi_doll
11-25-2017, 03:44 PM
This week proved to be tough with my grandma in the hospital. I didn't make my goal but I did get 2 presents bought which I'm going to be proud of. Hopefully I can catch up next week. :)

Forgive me. At the slightest drop in temperature around the end of summer, I start singing Christmas carols.
What will your "Christmas/Holiday Hustle" be? -- phone sex on NiteFlirt. I have ten listings. I'll be adding goodie bags and clips to my account to increase earnings.
What are you planning to buy, and for whom? - All my son wants is a Nintendo Switch. That being the only thing he asked for means i HAVE to get it for him. (Clever little brat lol). I also homeschool my children, so I want to get each of them their own laptop. Nothing too fancy; just for them to do schoolwork and ABCmouse, etc.
How much are you stashing away? (you don't have to answer this) - I'll probably use Walmart's blessed layaway plan for everything, so I'll stash away enough to make a payment every week pretty much. If I meet my goal of $500/week, I'll be good.
What are your plans this year? -- enjoy the holidays with family without worrying about basic expenses. Have enough to upgrade my smartphone and buy those gifts for my children.
What do you want this year? -- new phone and no debt

Emails are ready to be sent out, and I've recorded a holiday themed video. I'll do more next week. I'm taking some Christmas photos today and making graphics to switch to on the 16th. Put $145 into savings so far and I'm hoping to get another $200 in before I buy presents. Woo hoo!

Christmas is the worst time of the year for me. The men have a legit excuse to waste my time and be greedy around that time.
"I was with family bb"
"I'm broke cuz I went on a super luxurious travel bb"
Fuck that.
This Holiday season I make myself the best gift ever that I always desired: Plastic surgery. These suckers can fuck off with their "bb I won't be here" etc etc, I won't either!!
And it's already starting to get slow on cam now, I'm hella alarmed. An absolute shitty timing to not make anything.
I hope it turns around for me and I can do an awesome hustle this year.....I'm really sick and tired of being treated like shit from these men, especially on holidays. It's been super depressing.

My Christmas hustle is a bit more ramped up this year.
*Only because I don't know if camming will still be available for me come Jan 1.(CA law AB5) :crossfing
I really hope it will, because it's actually been a sweet gig for the last 9 years.
That being said. If I save for something, it is definitely for the summer slowdown.
I seriously can't handle the summer on cam anymore.
Plus, it's too hot where I live to go outside from May until Oct.
Combine that with sitting in dead cam rooms. Uh uh. Nope.

11-16-2019, 07:23 AM
3 presents bought, 3 more to go! I'll be switching all my graphics and profiles over to Christmas themed stuff.

I'm running a video sale, working every spare hours I have. Only buying for my bf, parents and dog - thats it ! maybe something small for my neighbors. Need at least 2k for February bills and 400-600 for winter tires and repairs. No special plans just working as much as I can handle. All I want is a new monitor and enough savings not to stress about february
