Finally, I managed to get my positive energy back, I turned around my hustle and I made my biggest payday ever!!!! I am extremely happy!!!
I worked 8 houres today and I managed to make $909,- (all of it with pvt and exl) today after a week of nothing but empty freechat days and getting more and more depressed bec of it, bec I was doubting myself. It made me realise how bad I wanted to cam for years to come, and that I had to put everything I got in it to make it work again, which I did and it helped luckily!
Thank the camminggoddess for weekends

So, I know I've been AWOL for a while ladies. Sorry about that... Life happened and what not.
I keep trying and trying to get back on schedule for my earnings. The reality is that I'm partying too much (new boy, new friends, actually having fun for once in my life) and not working nearly enough. The hours I'm awake and free aren't great for camming right now. So, I'm trying out a new schedule. It's pretty strict and involves like 35+ hours this week (which I've never even come CLOSE to doing), but I need the cash. I'm gonna do two shifts per day. One when I get home from hanging out with my boy (early morningwood rush, ladies?) and the next after sleeping, hitting the gym, and working my evening job. Rinse and repeat. I think it'll be good to see how much I earn after a week, yeah?
Anyway, wish me luck ladies. <3 <3 <3 all of you!

Wow girl! I didn't quite hit that all week with almost 20 hours. What's your secret? ;)
Actually, I just wanted to say that I finally saw who you are on cam. I think I've tried to click into your room before but you were always in shows. Only saw you for a minute before you were snatched into exclusive again! You're gorgeous, and those boobs! And that itty bitty waist. "v"

*Blush* thank you Vlodina!
About my "secret", I just put myself in the most happy state I could possibly be (and that was the hardest part), had a smile plastered on my face, and just teased the Hell out of them.
I was used to just sitting down and chatting away, but I noticed that the longer I used this "techinque" the teasing bec less and less and the conversations went to a "normal state" and not a sexy one anymore. And a normal conversation leads less quickly to a pvt/excl for me.
So I highered my rates (even though the whole week I had noting but really bad days, with houres of nothing). I tried lowering them but I felt unmotivated and cranky, so I thoughtlike.. if they want me to work more in freechat, they better be spendinga bit more in pvt or excl, bec I will do a lot of "prework" now in freechat, which will make it easier for them to end the pvt/excl shorter if they are really into cumming quick.
I was suprised, bec I thought I would make a lot of them just cum in freechat without gettting anything back, but it wasnt that way. I danced all the time, placing my cam at different angles, dirty talked away, and was playing out the happy little slutty girl card, and it worked yesterday. I played withmy breasts, and showed them parts I would normally never do ( partly nipple, partly ass, shaking my ass, rubbing my body, licking my finger- owww that was cheesy but it work etc) and got a lot of shows out of it, short and long ones. And at my higher rate (8.99/10.99$) I dont care if they stay short, I will still make enough money out of it.
I also got more tips in freechat, just random ones without requests and got a lot of new customers and favorites. =)
Also I stated in free chat that I didnt take requests in there, but do whatever I feel like doing, and if they wanted to see more particular thing they had to take me on.
Also I didnt had very personal contact with anyone in freechat, bec I was dancing and moving around, if they had a question about a show I replied but I didnt had "small talk" yesterday, only dirty talk and "show talk"
Sometimes I took tips for bj in free chat, bec it turn out that it leads to a chain of pvts/excl a lot of times which is a win win situation for me (tip and shows) =)
Oh and I just pushed through when it was bussy... I have never been online so long in a single day, but I figured if the money and people are there I can better take advangtage of it. So when it slows down again on another day I dont have to worry about my payout bec it will even out, and a less stressed camgirl is a happier one with more clients
IvyRose
06-15-2014, 04:31 AM
When it slowed down that drastically I made a list with things I could improve about myself/worktechnique
on top of that list is "making myself happy/make sure youre in a happy state"
I stopped checking other peoples rooms/watching to much stripperweb/laying aroudn in bed and got out and though of all the things I enjoy and just did them and returned to work more refreshed and happy bec of it. I have to luxurity that I only have to care for my two cats, so if I stop being depressed and worrying all the time and manage to get out of anxiety, I have lots of free time and space

Couldn't sleep, had awful nightmares, so I packed on a pound of makeup to look awake. Was lucky enough to catch the coveted morning wood rush. Surprisingly, with mostly young, hot guys-and made 215 :) Sore but happy lol-sending money vibes everyones' way! Now, send vibes to make my horrible nightmares go away MY way, ok lol?

WHOOOOO! I'm getting ready now for a long shift (8-10 hours). I have a new rule now between my guy and myself. One of us has to work at least 40 hours so all bases are covered. Anywho, I just started reading a few books. "Think and Grow Rich" and "Laws of Success" by Neopolean Hill and a ton of his other books. I'm going to be testing out his principles over the next 12 weeks or so. Gotta stack up this paper, shark week or not. No more time wasting on my part! Love you all, will update around midnight or so.
Staples
06-18-2014, 01:36 PM
Blah I've been wasting too much time lately! Gotta get my ass to work. I got over 1200 twitter followers and someone told me that once they hit that mark they reapplied for Arousr even though they got rejected the first time and she accepted their application so I went ahead and reapplied. Hoping she accepts me this time! I'm still mostly working streamate but I also made a cams.com account so I'm going to give that place a try too.

I'm going to set myself a mini-challenge within my spring/summer challenge!
10 days
£1500
thats only £150 a day, so that seems doable!
The past few days have been some of the worst in my 4 years of camming - literally made £28 in 8 hours yesterday and had a mini-meltdown and shouted at the freeloading free chat guys.
I really really need to move to a new place and £1500 is enough to do that.
Wish me luck you wonderful wonderful ladies! I WILL have enough to move house by the 30th!
(PS if anyone else has a mini challenge feel free to share with me and I'll be your cheerleader!)

I took the last week off... parents came to visit for a few days, and then I got sick. Still not feeling great but I'm back in the game! Aiming for 6 hours/day... mostly camming, but that also includes filming clips. C4S and custom clips are doing pretty good for me so I need to build that up.
kortneykay
06-19-2014, 01:26 PM
I realized I'm about halfway into my hustler's challenge and I've been slacking way off. I've decided that in order to win this challenge, I need to up the ante, big time. If all goes well within the next 12 weeks I should be at my minimum goal or slightly over.
I have now decided to put in 60 hours a week and hoping to average no less than $35 per hour. If I'm logged into all of my resources and putting in the time I should most definitely bring in the amounts I want. I know there may be a summer slump so if I have to lower some prices or do 80 hours a week (with lots of breaks) that's just what I'm going to have to do. I've got my plan set in stone and even some help from my guy to make sure I get up and hustle 11 hours, Mon-Fri and 5 hours on Sundays.
Saturday will be my day off and I will have 2 hour breaks before shift starts, in between my shifts, and another 2 hours after work to relax before bed. I'll get at least 7 hours a sleep during the week days and Saturday I'll be able to relax all day. Sundays will allow me to get work out of the way early and relax the rest of the day before the following work week. I think I'll like this plan very much and I'll keep you ladies posted weekly on my progress. I'm working everyday the rest of this week but I will be starting this new mini-challenge on Sunday the 22nd. I'll post 2 weekly update posts and any extras will be on my own merit.

I just broke $4000 earned! Yeah baby!
Okay, off to do a custom photo set for an Arousr customer. He's a reg and he wants shower voyeur. I think I can handle that one. Plus, the resale options are just about fucking limitless. Mwhahaha! Pocket $15-20 now for a small set, make like $100 for the remainder of the month when my other regs ask what new pics I have for them.

Lord Almighty. So I've kept getting super annoying guys on Arousr (give me number bb, kik bb, here's mine bb, free pics bb, illegal topic bb, etc., etc., to no end!) and I really, really want a way to ban them because some of them are honestly just distracting me from actual paying customers with their annoyingness. They might not have credits, but I still have to deal with them to keep my average time score from taking a nosedive. So, of course, I email Linda and ask if there's an option to deal with that because these guys are abusing the site and wasting my time with paying customers. Well, I got the 'put them in paid, even if they exit and come back to annoy you' speech, which was fine since now I know I can be a bitch to them at least. I was also told to 'drain their wallets' if they actually go into paid with credits and beg (got to do that last night actually). I just wish there was a ban button. She said people abused it too much so it went away, but some of these dudes deserve at least a 'report user' link of some sort. Jesus. I hate idiot men. So. Fucking. Much.
Other noteworthy bits: if guys think you have an @arousr email address because it's on your profile, that doesn't exist anymore. Custom photo sets are also in the line-up for sales platforms soon (as with videos now). All-in-all, it was a nice phone chat from her. I suppose me making money for her consistently doesn't hurt when it comes to the personal touches.
Alright, off to do shower voyeur for real now.

Kortney Think and Grow Rich is a great book and it's very motivating. It works! I'm sure it will help you it definitely has me. I've also gotten a book called Coach Yourself to Success and am working through it. Same concepts.

Yay! $140 in the last 2.5 hours!
I had a 40 minute private and a 25 minute exclusive! Such a great morning.
Staples
06-21-2014, 07:31 AM
Cammed all night so now I'm exhausted. Really doing well! Gonna do a 5 hour sleep show and then get up and work a few more hours before I head off to a BDSM party. Hope you're all doing well!
Juliette25
06-21-2014, 08:01 AM
Showered, dressed, and eating eggs. Gonna start camming in just a few minutes. Going for 10 hours then hanging out with a guy I had a nice date with last week.

Just checking in and doing my update before I start this 12 week mini challenge. Tomorrow my schedule says to work from 10am-3pm but I'm going to head to bed early tonight so I can work from 8 or 9am-1 or 2pm. There are a few festivals I'd like to go to and enjoy my night at before working my first 11 hour shift tomorrow. Sixty hours a week, here I come, I hope it turns out the way I'd like it to :D Hope you all are doing fabulous!
Issabelle
06-21-2014, 08:24 PM
So, it occurs to me that depending on when all of us started, today being the first day of summer also marks the half way point of this challenge! I personally started on 3/21 and intend to end on 9/21, so it is definitely my midway point. I guess checking in is in order.
High goal: $18,000 (22.9% complete)
Minimum goal: $10,000 (41.19% complete)
Time frame: 6 months
Current earnings: $4,118.76
So, I need to make $5881.24 to meet my minimum goal and $13,881.24 to meet my high goal, with 92 days left to do that in. That works out to an average of $63.93 per day for my minimum goal or $150.88 for my high goal. Both seem pretty doable.
I'm also going to try out daily pay with Katy Boleyn's studio. I won't use it all the time most likely, but when I need cash or need to just make it, I'm much more motivated by actually having the cash in hand ASAP instead of in 3-4 weeks. Instant gratification may as well be my middle name, honestly.
How're the rest of you ladies doing?
Staples
06-21-2014, 11:02 PM
Going out of town tomorrow for a quick overnight trip with my boyfriend. We haven't gone anywhere together in nearly a year so it will be nice to get away for a night. I'll be back to work on Monday night! Good luck ladies.
BlondebombGA
06-22-2014, 08:59 AM
Oh Issabelle that is TOTALLY doable for at least you low goal. You got this!!!
Have fun Staples!!!
I've only been in this for a bit over a month, but if I keep up the current earnings, I will be hitting about 1000 to 2000 under my high goal which although not the goal is AWESOME because it is more than I thought I could do. This challenge has been so good for me to get things in order including my normal budget.
Goooooo hustlers!!!!!!!!!!!

TGIM (Thank God It's Monday!)
Morning ladies, It's 6am and I'm up about to watch some motivational videos then I'm off to the gym and will be back to do my first 5 hour shift for the day. Like I said before I'm on a new 60 hour a week hustling schedule doing 11 hours Mon-Fri and 5 hours on Sundays but with frequent breaks. Yesterday was painfully slow but I still managed $140 which is only $10 from my actual goal. I'm hoping all of you have a great day of hustling and will update soon!

Words have more power than we think. Today I headed to my Orthodontist appointment and found out that my new treatment (I'm in phase 2) is going to cost a whopping $8k. Basically that means my plans of getting out of the business by September is null and void. :( I was so disappointed because I really was hoping to transition out of adult a lot faster than this. My treatment is going to take 18-24 months and they want half as down payment. Also, immediately following my treatment I have to go into surgery and though they have a new faster recovery process, I'm still going to have to take time off to heal. What's frustrating the most is that they aren't even going to be doing anything but making small (very expensive) changes to prep me for surgery but it's something that needs to be done.
After my appointment I couldn't help but to voice out loud how sucky today was and the moment I said "Today sucks!" I dropped my cell phone on the floor and it cracked open, my thick oak door scrapped hard against my foot, and I dropped my keys and other heavy items right on my bruised toes! I could've not said anything and now my foot is fucked up and my day has gone downhill from there. I know the words that I put all those things into action the second it left my lips.
All I can do now is be optimistic and add to my original plan. I'm really bummed out but in a way I'm humble because I have the oppertunity to pay for it all quickly when most people take years. I'm not loving camming right now but I'm thankful I can rely on it for such a time as this. My business and London trip are still going to happen, I'm just going to have to cam a little while longer than I'd hoped to. I'm not going to let this hiccup ruin it and I'm actually relieved to have more time to prepare financially both for London and my business in the long run. I hope I can mentally and physically sustain camming for another 12-18 months. I'm going to need frequent vacations and keep to a strict schedule if I'm going to make this work. It looks like I'm going to be starting a Fall/Winter Hustler's Thread after this one :D
Issabelle
06-24-2014, 11:20 AM
^^ Goddamnit, and here I was hoping to steal the pleasure of being the creator of that thread from you. ;)
But seriously, sorry you can't get out as soon as you want. I understand your frustrations as I'm also working on moving into graduate school (as soon as I get into the verified group, I'll let you other lovelies know what I do, because I make SO much more sense, haha). I want to get out and distance myself from adult work because of my industry, but I also want to make a nice nest egg for investing and generally keeping myself comfortable while I'm in school and afterwards paying off loans. It's a tough thing to balance.
Also, you're reminding me that I really need to go for an orthodontics consult. I had braces as a teenager and then kind of...ran over my retainers...with my car...yeah. So I need my bottom teeth straightened again because one has started to pull back from the line and twist. Fucking pisses me off. Oh, and invisaline--because I am not doing brackets again--is like $5,000 to do. EW! I figure if I can get into that daily pay program, it won't be so bad. It's just money I'd rather not spend at all, if you ladies catch my drift.
Anyways, I heard back from Katy today. I'm gonna go ahead and close my SM account then get one under her studio so I can start holding my $$$$s ASAP and be more productive. I was lazy the last month, by which I mean I charged a ton of purchases that I now need to pay off and am tight on bills. I'll be working overtime to pay everything off and start saving up again. Woot woot! I think?
Had a good night on SM though. Hoping to continue it tonight.
Peace and money lovelies!

06-24-2014, 01:09 PM
^^^Thanks, Isabelle. I'm bummed because two years ago when I went (before I relocated) it was $5k and now they want $8k and aren't even taking my braces off, they are just adding a new unbend-able wire and doing tightenings in between. My ortho (he's a fucking hottie, btw so it helps!) has made me a customized treatment plan so a few times a year I'll actually have to drive 2 hours away to go to a specialized team to help. Instead of getting my jaw sewn shut, they're putting two small incisions in my jaw and adding plates to move things along. I've never had crooked or jacked up teeth, my teeth and jaw just have to be in a position to prep for surgery. Apparently I have a condition in my jaw that only 3% of people face. Blech.
Anyway, I'm actually quite okay with this decision because that allows me 18-24 months to save up for my retirement. I figure if I stay on my financial goal of $2k+ a week, with 104 weeks in 2 years, in 24 months I would have made $218k which is totally fine by me. Now, the only thing is making this happen which is not going to be easy but I have a feeling that saving 70% of what I make by going indy will be easier than 11 hours in free chat hoping I make $400 a day. That's a lot of hustling. My decision is to work a few free live chat sites, but do a lot of indy work as well. I love knowing that I can make $400 indy a day a lot faster than FLC. On with the challenges!

Just over my halfway point of this challenge and I just ran the numbers - I'm so close to being halfway to my minimum goal!! Considering I've basically taken the last month off for travel and recovering from ear and sinus infections and the bronchitis, I'd say that I'm doing DAMN good!!
Your Minimum Goal: $3000
So Far: $1345.60 Left: $1654.40
Day You Will Start: 3/22/14
Date of Completion: 9/22/2014

I (unexpectedly) made my mini goal of £1500 in 6 days! (thank you camming gods!) But then I found out my best friend is pregnant and her aunt chucked her out so I gave it all to her so she could get a flat. So I'm back to square one.. sometimes I think I'm too nice (but thats another story!)
Planning on doing a mega camathon this weekend and going to try and make as much as I can because I still need to move! (and buy a load of baby stuff..)
Hello all-nighter!

My account with Katy is finally up and going, so I'm ready to hop back on cam first thing when I get off work! Woohoo! Can't wait to be faced with a brand new collection of idiot men thinking I'm actually a new model (since I get 'new girl' status again) and then shoot their asses down. Hopefully I can log enough hours and get enough ratings to get my gold shows back by the end of the weekend. Also, having to email support for my break button and static profile pic back, because I hate the in-stream captures and 30 second struggle to get dressed. Ew.
But YAY! Money in the bank at the end of every work day!

Hey lovelies! This daily pay thing is working out awesome. I've forced myself to make over $200 between all my sites in the last two days and SM is like half of that. Woohoo! Get that money ladies!
