Hun it seems like you have amped it up more than anything and have allowed yourself to get sucked into a negative place. I could be wrong?

On a different note I would like to say that I thought it was a great idea for those who believe in LOA to start a group. Im not 100% on the idea myself. I could either way. But it was a good move to create a place for those who do believe and would like to learn more about it. It just gets kinda weird with the back and forth in the rest of the forum. And when I say weird I really mean funny. I don't let people on the internet get to me. Whenever I feel myself get upset I just back away from my computer and go do something else. No one knows anyone really. So it shouldn't matter what anyone here does or thinks. Anyways Im out. I hope you all prosper this weekend. Won't be around for awhile. Good luck everyone

I'm charging a dollar a minute for gold shows and eight dollars a minute for private and exclusive and it's business as usual for me.

Camming and stripping can be really frustrating because you are constantly dealing with freeloaders and because so much time is spent sitting around in free chat. I am often frustrated, last night I was frustrated and cranky and the longer I cam the less able I am to tolerate the guys who come into my free chat asking for freebies but it's that (for lack of a better terminology) Law of Attraction thing in action. If you keep thinking that camming sucks and focus on everything that is upsetting then that will be your experience but if you can learn to control your thoughts and focus on the positive then your experience will tend to be more positive. Customers generally are willing to spend more on an upbeat cam model who is positive, happy, friendly. So for the critics or the cynics essentially that is law of attraction in action.

Focus on the negative + engage customers in a negative mindset + be miserable = lower earnings

Focus on the positive + engage customers in an energetic and positive mindset + appear cheerful and engaging = higher earnings

Law of Attraction, it's f*cking magical.


So two solutions, either lower your rates or raise your consciousness or in other words learn to control how you feel because being conscious means learning to take responsibility for your mood. When you can control your mood you can control your destiny. When you allow things to drag you down you relinquish control and make yourself a victim.

This is a great post Lifetraveler!

your wrong ...
I am the most laid back person there is.

Im not a negative person one bit.. when the same ppl turn threads into drama.. Im going to let it be known


Most of us are tired of it and it needs to be addressed or it will continue

I simply called it like it was being read or was it just a random cup of tea and placed in this thread?

Solo... my dear.. that was not humorous besides a marriage gif

Useful thoughts.. positive energy FOR MONEY is what is needed for the girls feeling the heat of slow weeks IN THIS THREAD

Yes, What a lot of the other girls here are saying.... Log in and stay on as long as you can. The number of people that favorite you will grow and that means you will pop up on their first page when they log in. When I started, I didnt get the whole encoder thing and whatever so I was always a few pages back. But let me tell you, AS boring as it gets and even when you want to scream and pull your hair out, stay logged on! It pays off because on dead ass slow nights, A regular usually comes in and saves my ass with a nice long private. :) good luck to you darling

I usually don't have many people in my room, but I always have fun conversation.

This isn't necessarily advice, but this is what I do...it has been working, so if it goes against any type of etiquette, my apologies :p

I have a few regulars who, honestly, don't spend sh*t but I tell them every time I'm on and encourage them to come on because they are FUN. They talk and allow me to showcase my personality which draws the paying customers in :)
I also have my best-cammodel-friend hang out sometimes if she's not working. She loves boobs and I love conversation so it works >__> I do the same for her, and would be willing to hang out/make conversation if anyone is super bored and I'm not working for whatever reason.

If it's quiet, I invent my own conversation. I do something silly, I put on a fake mustache, I put on a silly hat, I read a funny book out loud, I tell a story, I make a silly face.
I refuse to sit and be bored because being bored means my resting face and my resting face is bitchy. Everyone has a different hustle and I try to be sort of sarcastic but approachable and funny, it works for me and it keeps me excited. This won't work for everyone!! :) find ways to showcase your personality without showcasing your physical assets, is my advice.

While I have seen traffic slow down sort of recently, I pretend like it hasn't. :)

I go by this, and I think it truly works! My resting face makes me look so mean, when I actually have a pleasant smile and demeanor.

If you are signed into your streamate camming account, go under support, it tell you how to use it. Im not sure what the purpose is exactly, maybe a higher quality stream or something, but It greatly improves my placement. Im on page 3 without it, I am on middle page 1 with it. Yes, its a pain to figure out initially with the settings and windows, but once you get used to it, its a piece of cake and TOTALLY WORTH IT :D

I realize on SM the system is like on MFC with camscore, if u stay on not making money ur room wont get visitors anymore and u have less chances making money. That's how i feel it is, so in my opinion is not good to stay on long hrs if not making money.
By the way, i consider SM is pretty bad lately for alot of cam girls, myself included, there are no people in my room to sell to, when talking about 'SM has died' it mostly means it feels bad for 'ordinary' cam girls not the top girls cause good earners will still make money but 'normal' cam girls can feel the slowness different.
Sites, webmasters & affiliates promote cam girls with high earning potential, i see on twitter who they promote, it's almost never an 'ordinary' girl but always a top girl/ good earner and always a 'westerner'.

I've been camming for years and I always notice a drop in $ on cam sites and also for my website around the holiday time. Just keep that in the back of your mind that it can slow down here and there while ppl spend their money on holiday shit.

I have had the exact opposite experience at sm, as opposed to mfc with the camscore. When i do stay on sm, even if its slow, ill eventually make bank. I just have to be ON. The times i really feel like logging out because its slow, if i stick it out, It usually pays off. I LOVE sm!

Camming always has ups and downs, but here are my suggestions:

Obviously, your attitude is a HUGE factor...so stay positive, smiling, and sexy! No matter what!

If it's really dead, I find that doing a few GOLD SHOWS really helps. Yes we all love to do privates and exclusives, those guys are the ones we prefer, but for every guy who will go private there are 10 who will drop a few bucks on a cheap gold show. Also, private/exclusive time is expensive, and not everyone can afford that everyday. Doing gold shows helps draw traffic into your room, lets guys "test" you out for cheap, often converts into privates and regulars afterwards, generates decent $$, and helps save you from mind numbing boredom of just sitting there.

Also, I offer a free short video with gold show pledge...selling vids that they can watch of me whenever they want keeps me "in their mind" when I'm not online I feel like it leads to more return buyers...

I find the gold show hustle is really good for making good money on those "slow" days and it lets you be proactive instead of just sitting there waiting for privates...

Yes, this is true bc the % in paid in plummeting and girls logging are taking rank.. eventually the models box will continue to go down..

Alice, I have a question... Do these guys not promote non westerners?


I will pull up the twitter accounts of ppl that promo me and link them here.. some of these a model has to sign up for

this person just RT... doesn't switch links BUT i always have a perv pic so go fig. He but they are all new to me.
he simply RTs
another RT
another RT

^^^ Just follow these guys , show them #FF love or a #TY and they are happy to be acknowledged


<-- sign up there, they use their aff link (tweets every 30 mins)
tweets when u do your first gold show... must sign up and give her permission .. if geo is on she cant do it.. idky
@streamate RT them.... once again.. not sure what happened with RT our links with that one... but anything helps




just follow and they randomly tweet


I do tweet out a lot of pervy pics, a lot... it catches the eyes of consumers. Followers RT and new followers come and they spend money. Models will stop following me bc I tweet so many pics BUT models don't pay my bills ;) Models complain that twitter is a good place for men to get off IMO so is just the web in general.. We are fighting against girls who do this for free on twitter.


Also getting into social life stuff on twitter .. Im part of the DMV area bc the tweet me out , its a major part of the east coast but locals tend to show love

I've noticed that western camgirls do better on SM. I don't mean the site promotes them more/favours them or something, but probably the customers/visitors of the site. When I check the first 2-3 pages of offline placement, I only see US girls, and than slowly UK, Canada, FI, FR...start to flow in, and than slowly also RO, RU, CO, EE, etc. Also if you compare the % of US girls on first page, you see most of them are on 1st page and than declining on every next page, while for the other countries it is the opposite. I'm sure that is not just for better tech, because most of 1st and 2nd page girls have great stream and do use the encoder (there is RO studio with lots of mirrors so you can sometimes see their computer screen and even the cam they are using). I think most members on SM are from US so they prefer local girls/ native english speakers and just skip all the others. That also explains why there is always more traffic in the afternoon/evening (US day time). By more traffic I mean there are more models online and rooms are fuller than in the morning (US night time).

Maybe that's why US models find SM the most lucrative site. I like to work on SM though because this site is not so popular in my country (I don't want to be outed) and I still earn something. I mean it's not like you can't make decent money if you are not "western", but I'm almost certain that just this fact alone makes it harder. Of course you have to consider other factors too.

I think it's mostly because of them being closer to SM servers. Speaking of SM listing, connection speed its what matters for sure. If you are on the opposite side of the globe, you'll naturally have a higher ping/lower to-server speed compared to local girls.

^ The placement varies also depending on the language the customer choose. If you choose spanish for example, you will see mostly southamerican girls first. Since members are mostly from the US, US girls will be in the top rows for more people.

I'd rather invest 10-15 minutes and make $10-$20 off a cheap gold show than sit there all that time making nothing..Not many people make $10 every 10 minutes..remember you don't have to do a hardcore gold show either nor a long one. Of course, we'd all LOVE to be the gal that makes $100 every 30 minutes off gold shows, but that's hard for most of us to pull off regularly anymore. I always remind myself that I'm still making more than minimum wage...Often, I don't have to do much to even make $25-$30 an hour, and that's a slow day for me. I had a good day today..It's been better but it wasn't awful.

Sugar coating is not my speciality. Never has been.

Yes, it was very nice compared to what I can say.

So, let me see if I understand you.

You are allowed to behave badly to get your point across.

But if anyone else does it to get their point across then they are in the wrong and should be ashamed of themselves?

Edited to add: Sugar-coating has never been my specialty either.

I think we should all get back to making $$$ too.

I also think that we should all be allowed to make that $$$ in anyway we see fit and that certain people need to fucking stop correcting other people and telling them that if they were following the Law of Attraction that they would be making more.

Tempting is right. I am done with sugar-coating when it comes to this situation. Since the mods aren't doing anything about it, I might as well speak my peace so here it fucking comes......

No one should be able to comment on any one else's income here for any fucking reason and yet it keeps happening over and over again.

I appreciate that the people who are into being 'positive' and 'The Law of Attraction' want to share all the good stuff that has happened to them but think about how the fuck YOU feel when you have someone knocking on your door first thing on a Sunday morning to 'talk to you about our lord and savior Jesus Christ'.

YOU ARE DOING THE SAME THING!

I respect and appreciate that the Law of Attraction works for you so please give me the same appreciation and respect by not shoving it down my throat.

I have no problem with you saying 'Hurray, thank you Law of Attraction.'

I do have a problem when you tell me MY fucking problem is not following the Law of Attraction and that you'll be there to hold my hand when I am ready to 'take a leap of faith'.

How many times do I need to say this? How many times do I have to remind everyone to be respectful to each other and respectful of their own personal belief system?

I've tried humour. I've tried logic. I have no amount of logic that can deal with this level of disrespect for my basic rights as a human being. I am at a fucking loss at this point. I am at a lost to do when someone keep forcing their belief system down your throat and you have no way of stopping them.

I don't have anything against The Law of Attraction in anyway. I just have something against people being allowed to tell me how to live my life and how to make my fucking money.

I really like it when it gets cold outside. I snuggle up in blankets and drink coffee or tea. When I go out for my daily walk, no one is outside harassing me. It's pretty sweet until I'm forced to temporarily abandon my hermit ways. When I have to go see other people in real life, they're unhappy. They think the sky is falling. Then I go turn on my computer and remember that boobs cheer everyone up. They help some people have orgasms, and orgasms are like nature's prozac. Then I remember that people want to pay to see my boobs and make themselves happier. That's a nice thing. It makes me happy. That makes me even more money because people like to be around happy people.

I love that about this job. That I can log on and be a goofball, and people will give me money for being cute. Sometimes I get sucked into this train of thought that makes me feel that if I didn't make my average rate for one hour that everything sucks and I should log off. Then I start to think about things and usually there's an obvious reason that that one hour was slow. Sometimes, it's out of my control. Sometimes, I just need to take a break and make myself comfortable. Really, I make the ugliest grumpy faces when I'm hungry. I've only been a model for about a year. The only time my hourly average on SM has stopped going up was when I've been burnt out or didn't feel like camming full-time. The last two weeks have been pretty swell for me considering I can't do masturbation shows. I think it's because I stopped caring what other models are doing. I stopped caring if I have a room full of beggars. I stopped caring that I'm not in the first row. My job is pretty sweet. I'm just going to enjoy that and make shit loads of money.
