^^^So true, Issabella. I just get frustraited when I actually need a daily minimum, ya know? But anyway, I've had some rest and I'm getting back on and pushing through. As much as I'd like to focus on all my sites, I need money on two in particular this week so I suppose I'll split but not with too many. I hope you all are doing well and hustling.

So, I don't know about you ladies, but I'm a crazy animal lover. Like, insane. Anyway, I always want to adopt more (and I'm really considering adopting an older dog of 2-3 sweeties I met at the shelter today), but realistically I can't take in all the fluffy babies of the world (probably for the best, really...). I figure my best bet is to do donations of some sort to my local, no-kill shelters where I often get pets or Hope For Paws, but I never know how much is 'too much' or 'too little' or what not for me. So I've decided that starting when I get my bills are sorted--most likely August--I'll start randomly picking a day or two per month and donate everything I make that day to the shelters. I figure it could work with any charity, but it just seems like a cute idea. Thoughts?

I love it. I am redoing my site and plan to donate 30 to 40 percent to charity when it's done. I have three rescue dogs and once I move I'm going to foster again. Have you thought of being a foster mom? It's hard but to see them get adopted is the best feeling in the world.

I have considered it and was going to offer, but I have two shelter kitties of my own in my apartment right now. My puppy--well, she's 7 now, so, sort of puppy--lives with my dad on the farm because my tiny apartment isn't as good as several fenced in acres. She visits, but I can't keep her here. I desperately want a dog and was thinking of adopting. Bam! I find this two year old, pure black, male German Shepherd at the shelter. He's available tomorrow and I'm snatching him. I love older babies and it was so hard to choose with the Pits there (I love them to bits and can keep them where I live). We'll see how he interacts with me tomorrow and if not a good match, I've got some Pits that need good homes. I'd foster, but lordy--I wanna do the forever home more.
Plus, shelters never complain about free money. That's my best theory for balancing my need to take in every fur baby in existence. I hate people, but animals--any day. I'd take in a homeless dog before a homeless man, sad as it is to say out loud.

I have two German Shepherds and a Black Lab/Pittie mix. Husker the mix was adopted form the pound and Lola and Hannah are rescue group babes. Lola is a black shepherd and they are an awesome breed. Smart, loyal and loving. I hope it works out. I attached some pics of them, they are little cuties.

^^ OHMIGOD LOOK AT THE PRECIOUS BABIES! *SQUEALS*
*Ahem* I'm a dignified adult. I swear. Haha.
The shepherd was claimed by his owner last night, so when I got to the shelter and found out I couldn't help but look at the Pits. Long story short? Yup--I got a little girl. She rolled over belly up, then crawled into my lap and started licking me. She's getting spayed tonight and then she's coming home to a brand new kennel, collar, bed, and lots of treats. I just need a name for her now. Pics posted in verified if you wanna see her. I'll probably just start photo dumping tomorrow night with the new baby. Haha. I only wish I could keep all of them! There was a six year old I was in love with too. If anyone is looking to adopt a sweet, older Boxer/Pit mix, let me know and I'll hook you up. Hell, I'll pay for the girl to get to a new home--she deserves one!
ANYWAY, back on topic--I've gotta cam away the bills I just paid for the baby. $250 is totally worth it for her and her supplies though.

I feel like we should start a "camgirls and pets" thread for this type of thing :D because I'm also on the lookout for animals, I don't want to threadjack or anything, but I'd love to chat about it lol.
Issabelle
07-15-2014, 06:01 PM
Fuck it. I'm making that thread tonight. Dibs. Haha

Updated my ticker today. It's been a good week :) Tomorrow I head off to the Southern Charms Texas Bash to spend a long weekend making content for my site. I'm super excited because outdoor content always does exceptionally well and I've been out of it for awhile.

12 hours today and 12 hours tomorrow. Send me good vibes so I can stick with it. So tired right now!
Also my last day of school is next Thursday and I'm so fucking happy about that. Taking the fall off so I can focus on work for a while before doing my internship. Can't wait to be able to work without the stress of school!

Anyone know if tits are allowed in free chat on Cams.com? And can you call people? Everyone is asking me to call them. Sorry for the off topic questions.
Edit: I got an answer for both. Tits on the weekends and yes you can call.
SweetJulia
07-23-2014, 04:43 AM
God, have I been slacking! In my defense, this period has been the worst ever. Sorry if TMI. Add 300 for me, I'll update my ticker when I'm done with my breakfast of gyros and wine lol.
JaneBurgess
07-23-2014, 04:36 PM
People on there want calls but they don't like when you raise your rates to include calls. I raised mine to $3.99 a minute since I'm not going to add new features and charge them same rate as below.

I've really worked hard the past 5 days I'm proud of myself. Worked my last hours tonight until Monday. Between now and then I'm knocking out my last exam then PARTYING PARTYING PARTYING!!! Hope you ladies have an awesome rest of the week and weekend! I know I'm going to!!
SweetJulia
07-24-2014, 08:11 AM
Add another 200 for me this morning, I love that I can make that kind of money without killing my social life, like stripping did. I'm gonna be off til Sunday to spend time with the new guy-so hot-cuz weekends usually suck except for Sunday for me. I know it's summer and it's slow. Just one more month, right?

Hey bbs, hope all is well. I've been away visiting my sick grandparents but I'm back now for a bit. My family needs me so I will be relocating back to my hometown (ugh!) for a few years to help my grandparents out. I'm still going on my two year plan and I will still be doing adult work from my new place. My mom suggested I move in but that's not going to happen. I still have 2 years to save up for and I still have plans. Right now I'm going through some stress but I'm trying to stay afloat. I move in 2 months and I'm hustling as much as I can. I've gotten a few shows from this new reg, he's young so he's addicted and buys 3-4 shows per day now and I'm hoping he keeps it up, especially right now when I need it the most. Cheers ladies, I'll update my ticker on Saturday.

Whelp, I've almost made back all of the money I got shorted at my vanilla job (details in verified; got 'fired' without explanation, oi vey). Considering I got notice late Monday night, making back over $300 in five days isn't bad. Gonna hit the voyeur groove while I study today, then some cleaning (also voyeur) and then actually getting on. Whee, money! Haha. Looking forward to a fat check hitting my bank account Tuesday morning from Katy. :)

Just a little update. I hustled all last week and made $1k and $810 went to rent. :/ I am happy to say that all is well with my apartment issue and my ex has finally signed off the lease. I'm going to be renewing for 7 more months and then I'll be moving into a townhouse. I hope all you ladies are doing amazingly well. Cam was going bad for me until I realized I needed to get creative. I've changed my hair and ended up averaging $55 per hour and will be keeping this look as long as I possibly can. I also got the idea to do happy hour when times are slow from a cam buddy and I averaged $37 on sm by doing that as well. I suppose when the guys are used to you charging $8.99 per min $4.99 is a deal :D Cheers.

I didn't get around to those 4 hours until tonight :)
Gonna "sleep" (more like a nap until later this morning), then 8 hours, then time with my guy who is newly my boyfriend yay. Then camming my ass off next week I need to get rent and car payment covered. Damn bills.
Staples
08-03-2014, 02:07 AM
I've been hustling like crazy and it's been working. I don't have a ton of extra money but I'm paying all my bills with no help from anyone and that's a great feeling. Things have been picking up and I know the fall months will be even better and I can actually start saving! I promise to try to be around more this month! Y'all encourage me so much and I appreciate it.
Staples
08-03-2014, 03:31 AM
Well, made 10 bucks in 2 minutes and ten realized I'm entirely too drunk to cam right now lol. Oh well I'll start again when I wake up this afternoon!
Juliette25
08-03-2014, 08:16 AM
Make it 4 hours on cam today. I have some kind of cold coming on so I figured I should get more than 3 hours sleep.

Hustle of choice: Dancing, C4S, and ELM
High goal: $3,600
Minimum goal: $2,400
Start date: 7/1/14
Completion date: 9/30/14
I'm proud to say that I'm at roughly 40% of my high goal! Some issues came up that have had me raise my weekly goals. While I'm not hitting the weekly goal yet, I am very close. Hopefully this week I can do it since I WILL be working my full schedule. I think I am aiming kind of low though. I hate to fail. Like my goal covers everything I need it to cover, I just sort of feel like I SHOULD aim higher. Maybe once I am consistent with how much I'm making I will up it again. It is kind of satisfying to hit my goal and raise it again.
Keep making money ladies!

Add 180 for me. I should be happy, but I just gave out a loan, so it doesn't even feel like an accomplishment. Opening a new account on SM, gonna milk the new model tag+all my regs finding me anyway-cuz they always do.

I haven't updated in a while, so here goes. Found a new house. Need to make like...$2350 for deposits and shit? I've already put down $500, so this place is pricey to say the least (worth it though). I'm sitting at around $700 right now with zero other bills to worry about and until like Wednesday evening to make it. 4 days and like $1675 to go...yeah, $425 a day can be done! I've been doing $125-150 for three hours a day the last week, so I think I can manage if I work 10-12 hour days until Wednesday!
Anyway, I'm taking a 'break' after that to pack/move and only work when I can. I'll be working asap after I'm moved in Friday though. I have other bills coming in (and a huge CC balance to pay down) so I'll probably keep doing the $150-300 days for the rest of the month and just be done with it. ~$600 in damage deposit coming back from my current place by late August, so that'll cover everything else.
If I make what I need, I'll break the $10,000 minimum I set for my summer goal! I only need $100/day from here on out to beat it! Yay!

Question...can we continue this in a Fall/Winter hustlers thread? Its such a motivating thing, would hate for it to just stop because the seasons have changed. Also this is now prime hustling time
SweetLilyRaven
08-12-2014, 07:12 AM
I seem to have lost all motivation to get on cam lately. I can't tell if it's because my husband is spending every spare moment he can find with his new girlfriend, and the time I work eats into our own alone time together (we're in a polyamorous marriage), whether it's because my own boyfriend is going through a stressful period at work and I miss him terribly, or if it's just another bout of whatever this strange illness is that flares up every few months that leaves me in a lot of pain and weak as a kitten with zero energy.
holy run-on sentence, batman!
Needless to say, I've got no energy, no patience, and very emotionally unbalanced…and that attitude is keeping me from camming. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of fun this summer because I'm working (i.e. sitting in my room procrastinating on getting on cam), but then I feel guilty having a fun day with my family because we desperately need the money. Ugh. I keep telling myself that I just need to hold out for another month - the kids go back to school, the weather gets too cold to want to be outside, and I'll have 4 more hours each day to work. I second the plea for this to roll over to a fall hustle…I need the bursts of motivation I get from you guys!

Added Kinkbomb, looking into ClipVia. Getting back to Tumblr and Twitter. Doing our big house move on Sunday and my fiancee told me he thought I should put my computer in our room and set up a camming/clip making space. He has been so supportive of my flip flopping back an forth with my online work. He knows I enjoy it and it makes me happy when I actually do it though, which is why he is nudging me toward being more consistent. Really hoping to surpass my high goal!
Juliette25
08-15-2014, 02:20 AM
I lost motivation for like an entire week. Sleeping instead of getting on cam. Old habits, etc. etc. Got back a it today and knocked out all of these videos I had been putting off. Then cammed about 4 hours tonight. It's 5:16 am ugh can't wait to go to sleep. My rent is late so I really really need to get that paid and get caught up on everything else before the first of the month comes back around.
I had started reading this book Coach Yourself to Success. Might have mentioned it before. One of the steps is to get rid of the petty annoyances in your life. I had been making a list for a long time and doing things when I could but now that I don't have classes anymore I've knocked out a lot more. I repotted all of my plants, cleaned all the mildew off of my shower curtains. Went through my daughters clothes and shoes. It feels great to do these things and I really do think it's going to help with the energy I need to get motivated and stay motivated in the long run to be where I want and need to be in my life. Just wanted to share that small victory.
Also things are going pretty well with this guy that I've been dating. I think he's a good partner and we're crazy for each other. Yay!
Have a fantastic weekend ladies! I shall report back!

I gave up on the ticker site. I just have the amount In my siggy now as seen below.
