Showered up. Gonna eat some breakfast then cam as much as possible before SM cutoff and thereafter. This is rent/car payment money weekend so fingers crossed that I make lots and lots of money!

Yes I made it to 470$ today! I love weekends. Going to try to put in more houres tomorrow if my back allows it
WooHOO! love you girls! this thread is so inspirational. dig it too the max. i need to make some goals and join the challenge. however even without making an earning goal i have to say you all are inspiring me to work longer hours and get that $$$
Staples
05-24-2014, 03:14 PM
So far haven't done anymore than that initial $70. Think I'm going to call it quits for a few hours and maybe come back later. I have enough for rent now.

If I wake up late on Saturday (which I did today), I don't even bother getting on SM until a few hours after payout. I never make much and it's just super frustrating/demoralizing. I'll log into Arousr and study instead. Woohoo!

This thread really motivates me to work my cam sites...I never go on them and then nobody is there and I log off. I'm more indy and do niteflirt, so it's kind of on my own time. I hate sitting there in front of the computer for hours...especially if it's dead. I know if I go on more I'll make more money, but I have absolutely no patience. lol. How the hell do you ladies cam for hours?!?

Days like today when its super slow because of the US holiday and the whole weeks been crap, working 4 hours was definitely a challenge. Makes me feel like a failure as a cam girl sometimes, esp when I post up like 6 brand new pictures that I'm like oh yes this'll get them, then nothing, then another new one, and nothing... no more days off till I get my goal and if I get it by Friday then Ill take some of the weekend day shifts off or something, holy christ this is getting old. :'( I LOVE summer cause I can spend time outside tanning, esp if its dead I'll log off and tan but my bill people don't understand when its payday and my check is 1/2 what it should be. :O

Try to take breaks every four hours or so. Make sure you have a drink near by and are comfortable, clothing wise and temperature wise.
Staples
05-24-2014, 04:35 PM
I actually take a 15-20 minute break every 2-3 hours. I've found if I log off for more than 20 minutes I'm less likely to get back on.
MissConceited
05-24-2014, 04:39 PM
Yeahh.... I can't get past an hour. Maybe that's why I don't make money camming. I'll log onto mfc or imlive and leave in like 30 min if no one is there. People just stare at me and don't talk. >.<
I'm going to make myself like camming damnit!

Memorial Day Weekend is shitting on cam. Thankfully I made my SM goal just in time. Somehow I got away with making $25 for the hour I was on sm today. Whew.
$185.73 was today's total. I'm gonna get food and then take some calls to see if I can make more. Enjoy your holiday weekend ladies!
Juliette25

Well today was phenomenal. Looking forward to hustling some more tomorrow! But for now, homework. And a mixed drink. Cheers to my first day of the challenge.

I'll join in. I'll have to figure out a goal amount and an ending date. It is a VERY inspirational thread and shows what hard work can achieve.

I finally broke 1k on my ticker in spite of losing 8 of the last 13 days. Feels like a weight has been lifted because I proved to myself I could do it.

I learned that for me ,on sm, the first 30 minutes are the most hard bec of less privates/excl after those 30-50 minutes I start getting shows on higher basis. I think a lot of guys keep roomhopping and talking for a bit and when you stay on longer they will see youre profilepicture mroe often/visit your room more often and will adventually go for it. Im in a higher price range which also takes part in the fact that I have to stay online longer and wait longer to get my shows; if I quit within the first houre my % in paid chat will be low, but if I stay my normal shift which is at least 2 houres my % in payed chat will gain and most of the time gain and double!
This makes it easier for me to stick it out, since I know the start will be hardest

I've been wanting to create a financial cushion for myself by saving up enough cash to pay few months bills worth of bills in case of an emergency where I can't work (or my laptop breaks, cam breaks, injuries, etc.).
Your Hustle(s) of Choice: Camming, Customs, Videos, Phone Sex, Membership Site
Your High Goal: $10,000 in savings
Your Minimum Goal: $5,000 in savings
Day You Will Start: Sunday, 5/25/14
Date of Completion: 10/12/14 (my 23rd birthday!)
Your Completion Reward: Buying myself a puppy :)
My goal is for money saved, not money earned. This goal is going to take a lot of work because my old roommate moved out and I have to hndle all of the bills by myself. Saving money on top of the added bills is going to be a heavy load :/

Absolutely true. Very difficult for me as well, I like instant gratification and have a short attention span. I usually don't make anything the first 30-60 minutes and end up meeting my average. Four hour shifts are preferred, but I'm gonna try for six hour ones next week to make up for working like ten-badgirl!-hours this past week, though it was for medical reasons. I'll update my ticker later. Oh, and my awesome reg. who knows I love cheetah print got me an outfit, so I have something new to wear on cam. My period is, um, always a surprise, so I ordered sponge tampons to make sure that doesn't slow me down and nothing, short of my building catching fire, will keep me from camming this week.

The plan today is admin stuff/cleaning house til 2:30, then homework til 6:30, then camming and shooting customs between 7:30 and 3:30 (with a break for Mad Men in between). Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

I plan on putting in 35 houres this week =)
If I can make it, it will be the most houres I ever put into a week since I started... Hoping my back can keep up!
When I first started I had a lot of anxiety and lack of motivation/ self esteem problems. I feel it is shifting and I can make longer houres without breaking down in front on the cam (most of the times working less I logged off bec I could feel a break down coming up)
I can feel I am getting stronger and believe more in myself and my shows, and it pays off.
I do still have a lot of backpains due to camming, I hope my body can keep up (its always something isnt it, now that I feel mentally better my body is breaking down :( )

Today has been a day off for me. My boyfriend is going to film a few clips for me and then we are going to go to Karaoke with some friends. Back at it tomorrow. Aiming for around 35-40 hours this week. Our roommate has started camming again so she can save money and move so I hope the two of us camming at the same time isn't too much for our internet. If we weren't so awkward around each other we would do shows together but I just don't think the chemistry for that would work.
Juliette25
05-25-2014, 03:07 PM
Over the next week after tonight I plan to put in 20 hours for camming/videos. I've got this damn two day CPR class I have to do then an event for school the day after that so I've really gotta stick to my planned schedule with two nights being definitely off limits for work... unless we get out of CPR early but I won't know that until it happens.

Ok, so I realize that this isn't really a hustle to cover the summer since I am starting so late, but I am going to do this nonethless. I have finally decided my goals etc, so here goes:
Hustles of choice: Camming, Selling Clips, Self published erotica, Selling panties
High Goal: $11000
Minimum Goal:$8000
Day I Will Start: 1/06/2014
Date of Completion: 16/09/14
Completion Reward: Pay my car off, laser eye surgery, new stuff for my home, savings to have
This thread has inspired me so much to do this challenge. I know I can do this. I am hustling for necessities as well as savings, but I am sure that I will find another few pretty things along the way that I can get with the reward money.
I am also combining this with a body challenge, so hopefully at the end of the period I will have also dropped all the weight that I want to lose.
IvyRose
05-26-2014, 09:44 AM
my back gave up on me =(
I wanted to cam so much longer, but I am just not able to right now.. It is so frustrating that my body keeps failing me, wishing I could just take my medicatio and go on longer, but I know they can be very addictive so I shoudnt do that
Tomorrow a new day! Going to spread my houres out more, so hopefully Ill be able to do 6 houres... Today I did 3,5, I feel like such an loser for only being able to put in 3,5 houres and feeling dead afterwards =(

Afternoon! I worked a bit last night on the phones/text made $61 and got to bed at 3am. I'll be relaxing for a bit and at 5pm I'm going to go until 12am if I can. I'm doing the $2k weekly challenge so I'm going to be on it this week for sure.
Staples
05-26-2014, 11:57 AM
I'm aiming for $500 this week. I've only been averaging about $250--$300 but my hours have been down. Gonna work a full 40 this week!
Juliette25
05-26-2014, 02:05 PM
I bought myself a little gift today. Feels good after busting ass all weekend and knowing I could get it and still be able to cover my rent and car payment.

Hey guys :)
I'm in miserable pain, second day of my period(oh, the fun of endometriosis) and a few days after a tooth extraction. So, it feels like I got punched in the goodies and the face. I still toughed through SM though, hoping for 150, ended up with 180. I was practically in tears on cam, the meds are just now kicking in. I so think I hopped on cam too soon, but I was really eager to prove myself this week. Even so, I'm gonna take tomorrow off, usually the second and third day of my period are absolute hell. Sorry if that's TMI, just needed to vent I guess.
Juliette25
05-26-2014, 07:25 PM
That sounds like hell Julia I'm sorry. Good for you for working through it though.
IvyRose
05-26-2014, 08:51 PM
Wow Julia, that you managed to work through that and earned well is amazing! (if I would have been online, I would probably being such an sourepuss I woudnt have made shit)
Good thing youre giving youreself a break now with that pain, and the hardest day of pms coming up! Hope you can rest well have a great free day, and wont pounder/worry over things

I got a new keyboard!!!! My cats killed mine, so this is actually super thrilling! Not having the 2, w, s, or x keys was kind of brutal. Anyway, I just finished about four loads of laundry, so I'm gonna do a voyeur show of me cleaning house and then do some actually shows. Woohooo!
SimoneGray
05-27-2014, 06:44 AM
Did six hours on SM, got jack squat...sigh. And that was with drastically lowered rates and everything. But I am going to reboot and go onto one of my other sites this afternoon and see how that pans out. Going to put in about 5 hours there. Gotta keep the hustles going!
IvyRose
05-27-2014, 09:02 AM
It was slower for me too on sm...
Have put in 4 houres and will put in at least 2 more after my dinnerbreak
Juliette25
05-27-2014, 10:41 AM
Did my 4 hours last night. 4 more tonight after errands and homework. Have to go to bed early. School in the am.

05-27-2014, 10:45 AM
Back to the grind and I want to add 500 to my ticker in the next 7 days (I'm using my ticker for savings only, not overall earnings). I had to crash yesterday and do housework & laundry. I really need the savings because one of my trips happens end of June. Actually pretty excited for this week.
Juliette25
05-27-2014, 10:58 AM
I have a trip coming up end of June too. Hoping to have $380 to take with me when I do that.

Well, this bitch is staying in all night to work/sulk. Frustrated rant ahead:
I'm in the middle of Boy Drama Land where I've been seeing this guy for two months now, but he's super guarded/shy and impossible to make plans with. We share a lot of friends and I know he's into me, but fuck if I can get him to show it half of the time. I'm tired of having to go to the bars every night to find him and hang out. I've got better shit to do and this is hitting the point of getting old. I make it too easy on him to see me, so I'm gonna stay in until the twat calls me and makes plans. Crashing together one night a week and getting a late breakfast just isn't enough for this girl, nor are the shy-but-cute hugs and make-out sessions I normally have to initiate every other night. Why the fuck did I have to find a closet submissive boy as my newest date-worthy material? Fucking WHY?! Ugh. So yes, this girl is gonna go back to working a ton and the gym. I need money and I need to lose the 12 pounds all those nightly sugary drinks have packed on.
To a $1000+ week on cam!

Sounds like you could use a distraction. I've distracted myself from the boys I was messing with. Distracted myself with work! It's going nicely $$$
And I'm getting new better boys lined up lol

I made it to 6 and a half houres today!!!! SO proud of my body keeping up with me, this is my longest working day ever
and my back still doesnt feel broken ;)

Good for you Ivy! I overslept so I've only been on for 2 hours but I'm starving and my kitchen is a mess because I'm the only one in the house that cleans it. I keep saying I'm not cleaning it again until someone else does but then it just gets dirty and I can't handle it so I had to clean before I could eat lunch. Hopefully this evening will be better.

Issabella, I hear your pain bb, men are pissing me off lately as well. I am throwing myself in my work and I'm quite happy opening myself to making loads of money, paying my bills, and splurging on myself. Sometimes you gotta say "Fuck men, get money!"

^^ AGREED. Every time I make more than the minimum effort ... every time I push myself to work more hours and hustle more $$.. my husband tends to get butt hurt. Ummmm.... dude we need money, why exactly are you upset? Sorry but at this point, $$$ is way more important than your precious "feelings".

Story of my life with my current roomie in terms of pretty much every common area in our apartment. She's a cool roomie, but she's shit at cleaning and when she's dating (i.e. now) she disappears into New Relationship Land where everything is full of rainbows and unicorn farts. End result? I clean EVERYTHING or have to turn into Mega Bitch to get stuff taken care of. Aw well, I'm getting a one bedroom at the end of the summer. I can make it until then.
Voyeur shows + studying = awesome. Sure, it's only like $5-$15 an hour, but studying for a living hardly pays bills. Hell, tuition is a payment to get to study, so I'll take what I can get to multitask. Woot! Now, off to my vanilla job for the evening, then back to the house for a bit of camming, a study/voyeur break, and more camming. $200+ today or bust! I'm at $31 to $43 for the day (depending on how long I work at my vanilla job) so far, so I'm already on my way!
WE CAN DO IT LADIES! WE DESERVE ALL THE MONIES!!!

To both of you (and everyone who's chimed in): THANK YOU! Sometimes I really need the support you girls give me. It's so awesome and you are all AMAZING people! Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise! Men may come and go, but you ladies are gonna be my partners-in-money-making-crime for life! Wherever we end up, may the hustle and success go with you!
