Thank you, Kortney! ^_^
I have a quick question to you, I'm still looking for the answer on SW. I have more and more regulars asking me for skype shows. What do you use as a payment method? (Im afraid to use Paypal and not getting in it seriously yet, so I dont have my site, payement processor etc). And also, if those members are from some mainstream sites, you are not afraid they will try to "blackmail" you after, like contacting the site saying that you made them go on skype instead of this site and make them close your account etc? Im really scared of it.
Thank you for telling me if there is an exsiting thread already. Im reading about individual camming, but havent found the answers yet.

I suggest www.cammodeldirectory.com. Mark is awesome! All you need to do is fill out the application and if he's interested in taking you on he will contact you to set up a non-nude totally platonic skype interview to account for your authenticity. I did know he was full for a while but he may have a waiting list or may be taking on new ladies. He has a 3rd party merchant account that you can use to charge guys for skype and it's pretty easy to do and your cut is 75%. He's actually doing an awesome monthly promotion where if you make over $500 in one month, you receive 80% of what you make OVER $500.

I absolutely do NOT suggest taking any members from mainstream sites and yes, blackmail is definitely possible. 99.9% of guys on mainstream sites who want your skype are only doing so to pay you less. They realize that the site gets a cut and will bribe you thinking you'll "make more" but 100% will refuse to pay you the price you ask for on the mainstream sites. For example: You charge $5.99 on a mainstream site. Once you give your skype these guys are going to want to pay $3 or less per min because they feel like they've helped you cut out the middle man. Unless someone is paying you cash in hand there is ALWAYS a middle man so I suggest you do not give out your skype to mainstream guys unless the rules of the site allow you to (MFC). You can risk whatever you want but I don't think you should. If you want skype customers, work on sites like MFC, NF, and CMD where no blackmailing can happen and the traffic is there. On CMD guys are looking to skype and pay you what you deserve.

Thank's again! Really!
That's what I thought myself and glad to recieve confirmation from more experienced colleagues :)
You are 100% right, they say smth like "i know this site takes XX% what if we skype I can pay you directly" and then ask for discount on my minastream site cuase its too much...So yeah, I can see where it is going. To the last request I answered something like :"yes, the site takes % but also brings me traffic, makes my promotion, takes care of billing, interface, and protects my identity from all ya stalkers out there." He shut up.
And I ll look into CMD, thanks.

As you can-hopefully, if I made the ticker right lol-see from my signature, I added in another photo shoot and two-EXTREMELY-late checks from a very part time vanilla job. I know some of you amazing ladies have tickers that put mine to shame, but I'm proud of making a physical, visual measurement of my success. Also, I'm adding what I make when I make it, not waiting for when I get the stupid check Fed Exed from SM.

I'm behind many of these awesome ladies, too - and my own goals, which is totally my fault (haven't been putting in the hours) - but I love having the ticker right there in my signature. Every time I see it I think, "Should I get on cam now? I could make that number bigger..." Every little bit of motivation helps these days!

Made 348 from an indie show for a long time regular, see reflected in ticker :) Almost makes up for coming very close to crashing coming home from the grocery store in the blizzard my area now has :( Ooooo, and I have another regular scheduled for tomorrow for at least 100, maybe more :) Gonna have a drink and calm down since I hate driving in the snow and this is exactly why. PS-Congrads KK, I think the highest I ever got was 400, so spend to your hearts' content!

Stay safe, bb! Here it snowed twice over the past few days but thankfully the spring sun told the snow to go fuck itself and it melted before it got settled to the ground. I only spent the amazon money, the rest will go straight to savings because mamma wants an SUV.

I was asked to work a charity banquet tonight. They needed someone to play Vanna White for the auctions and raffles. When I came in all prettified, I was given instructions to put my best hustle face on. Result? Pulled in about $5,000 between raffle tickets and key auction items for the charity. I have no shame when it comes to wildlife funds and, oh baby, was it fun to hustle all the rich older couples into paying nearly $800 for a 128oz engraved flask the size of my face. My pay for the evening was less than I make camming most nights, but it was for the animals and a total blast (plus no dildos required) so whatever.

Now, on cam I go for a late night hustle session. Let's keep the good times rolling baby!

I've been procrastinating and feeling down lately but I spent the night watching stuff on LOA and reading positive threads here and online and I am ready to super hustle tomorrow and onward! With that being said I didn't fully slack this week, I just told myself I could have a bit more time to take it easy so I made easy goals for the past week - nothing money wise just updating a new clip on C4S each day which increased my earnings there etc. Just been dealing with some personal stuff that's been holding me back but now I feel like I am ready to put this negativity behind me and go for my goals! KK you're super inspiring - and happy birthday!! (Not sure if it's early so if it's early happy early bday!!!!)

I've got a new short time hustle goal. By the 9th of April I'd like to get $500 saved up for my hubby. He's recently gotten me out of a HUGE BIND financially that he shouldn't had to have helped me on, and he used his trip money to do it. So I'd like to set aside an extra $500 for him by then. Got it in my ticker.

And you're already almost 10% of the way there--work it girlie; no question that you'll be able to get it done!

Crappy night turned around by a lovely guy who wanted to play dress up for like half an hour. Show off my formal dresses on cam and get paid? Yeah, I think I can handle that.

Sometimes logging off and waiting fifteen minutes magically alters the composition of customers to non-assholes. Love it.

Issabelle

So my night went from complete and utter crap with SM to pretty freaking awesome! Decided to take fifteen away from the beggars/20 question brigade and made about $40 for an hour of paying customers (including the guy I mentioned in my last post that I played dress up for). Next I know, I'm tired of dildoing myself, so I log off, only to realize that my room seriously needs cleaning. I'm thinking 'hell, I wish I could be paid for this even a little bit.'

Annnnd....light bulb! I've never seriously considered doing voyeur shows (I mean, what do you even do and who would pay for that?), but I did one anyway. Set it for 30 minutes with a $1 gold buy in and put a billion disclaimers as to what it was and wasn't, plus a pre-programmed message. Started the show automatically, than wandered around my room doing laundry topless. Two shows of that back-to-back made me $10.71. Not much, but A) it was crap I had to do anyway, B) it paid me more than I made at my former vanilla job per hour for way less work, and C) I didn't have to talk to any of them. I see no downside to my new-found voyeur hobby. In fact, I'm thinking a voyeur show to make pancakes come morning time!

Hey Tat!

I just wanted to let you know that it will all work itself out and I certainly believe that the positive things you surround yourself with will manifest themselves into your life. Anyway, thank you so much for the birthday wish (it's on Monday, ughhh) I hope whatever you're dealing with personally gets settled the way you want it to. You got this, bb!

Wow, that's so awesome that you want to repay your hubs. You WILL make it happen and I bet he's going to be so surprised and happy that you wanted to make up for his trip money. You're going to do this, just watch!

Mmm, I can't wait to join you! But I decided to start on 1st May, when I (hopefully!) will have new fast PC, new fast Internet (its a bit pain in the ass to have in my area but Im figuring it out), new location to cam and maybe even new cam. Once I have all my guns ready, I promise Im gonna hustle the hell out of them! Haha
Meanwhile, trying to make what I can for my trip home in April.
Rocking Sunday to everyone!

I'm 340 closer, see updated ticker :) I did an indie show for a guy who pays me through Greendot, he only got $140 worth of minutes, so imagine my surprise when I saw the generous tip! We'd emailed back and forth and he was worried because he hadn't seen me online in so long. I was honest and told him my grandfather went on hospice on my birthday and died a few days later. I wasn't giving him a sob story, he was genuinely concerned and we always emailed back and forth when his mom was dying. He just emailed me, saying he hoped I enjoyed the tip and while it can't make up for my horrible week, he hopes it's at least a good birthday present. Mission accomplished!

Yes, it's tomorrow. Honestly, I'm not going to cam tomorrow but I know a few of my finsubs will be making some deposits. Other than that, camming can go fuck itself. My bday is mine and mine only but I also share it with a ton of family. My grandmother and cousin share the same day :)

Well my positivity is paying off today! On pg1 on SM, proper traffic flowing today and got tipped $55 my cut to do a 15 min show on Cam4... I'm not done yet! Going for $200 today. Sooo happy!!! Hope everyone is kicking ass and draining wallets today!

03-30-2014, 09:49 PM
Maybe I'm just burned out, but I don't wanna do any camming right now. Voyeur cam is the limit of what I can handle because it forces me to do stuff. Bah. I'm in a funk and it needs to go away so I can earn money.

Issabelle
03-31-2014, 12:56 AM
Alright, $55.70 isn't much to add on, but anything is better than nothing. The night was long, but one guy (that I thought was a peeper on my shows) came in towards the end after lurking for, like, three hours and asked how long it took me to actually get off. He then bought the 30 minute block without batting an eyelash and stayed to chat afterwards. I had goofy freshly sexed face with giggles and everything when I returned to free chat. Hope he comes back soon.

Voyeur cam, gym, and done for the night.

Just had 2 birthdays (yesterday and today) from familymembers, so Ill have to up my hustle this week since I lost sunday and a big part of today. (Also having friends over at friday since they will leave the country next week, they are going to live in Indonesia)

Still I want to make more than last week, so ill just make longer houres a day. Also going to work in the weekend to make up for the 2 "free days".

Good luck everyone!

Ready to start this challenge in the morning! I got my c4s store back up to par, I opened a KinkBomb store, I have new ads ready to post on CMD, my earnings spread sheet is ready to go! I still need to clean up my cam room but I'll do that later tonight.

Oh, also, got my hitachi that a custie bought me in the mail today so hooray for that! I'm glad to finally have one lol.

03-31-2014, 08:26 PM
Today really really inspired me and got me pumped up to start this challenge tomorrow morning. I somehow managed to rake in over $500 on cam tonight between 8 and 10 pm. Top that off with an amazon gift card for $100 and about 7 or 8 wishlist gifts heading my way from guys who always do what they promise.

I was speechless, combine the the value of everything from the shift and that is how much I paid for the car I am currently driving.

I am sure I won't be able to top tonight, but I am going to try! This gives me so much enthusiasm to bring to the rest of my week.

Rina
03-31-2014, 08:47 PM
First of all thank you KK for starting this challenge. I'm going to join in.

Your Hustle(s) of Choice: Camming, phone sex, MP3s, clips 6-7, possibly erotica, and my vanilla side gig
Your High Goal: $20,000
Your Minimum Goal: $10,000
Day You Will Start: Saturday, 4/16/14
Date of Completion: 10/16/2014

Just made $82.16 off the last hour and a half with quite a few 'chat only' types of privates. Victory. Gonna take a short break and hit it again. I promised myself that if I broke $100 tonight I could buy a shirt or two from Snorg Tees. I'm a total nerd and torn on designs, so I've gotta earn the cash to get them. Haha.

kortneykay
04-01-2014, 07:41 AM
I took a mini hiatus from camming (on free chat sites especially) but I'll be jumping back on the wagon today and all this week. My reg is sending me two gift certificates for shopping today so I have that to look forward to. I'm also hoping to get my new car next weekend which I'm absolutely stoked about. It's not brand new, but new enough for me. The taxes here on it are around $400 so it's going to give me a reason to hustle.

On a side note, I thought if you ladies wanted to, we could add a Pros and Cons of the day or week hustle. For example:

Hustle Pro: My subbie is going to be spoiling me this week with new clothes and $1,000.
Hustle Con: My friggin Toshiba laptop broke on me. It won't stay up because the back is cracked and the hinges broke off so I have to get something to hold them up. My next hustle would be to get him to get me a new computer lol.

I've been working phone more than cam but I'm about to change that. I adjusted my daily routine a bit, and I'm thinking it will lead to more productive days. I also found some shortcuts I can take in the hair department, which will cut down on my getting ready in the morning routine. I've scheduled naps and breaks each day, and I'm thinking this will help with the cam burnout I get so much of. :-p

Hustle Pro: My boyfriend is putting manycam on his comp and letting me use it whenever I need. His comp is newer and faster, leading to a better camming experience for customers! Yeah! I also got approved by arousr and I can start earning money there too in addition to my other eggs.
Hustle Con: My boyfriend is moving in this week, and while I'm super excited and happy, I will have to do some cleaning/prep/moving crap around this week. So I'm just working on three sites, text, phone and a few other things, but not all the crazy shit I wanted to do.Hopefully after that all will be good and I can go back to my crazy routine again.

JenniferNorth
04-01-2014, 11:11 AM
I feel bad because I haven't been acknowledging the posts as I try to do, but I wanted to remind everyone: just because we have one (crappy) shift doesn't mean all our shifts will be this way! When one egg is not doing so good, keep doing it, but monitor how the others are too! I can't tell you how many times cam has sucked but phones have been off the hook, or vice versa! :-) Have a kickass Tuesday, girls!

Issabelle
04-01-2014, 11:13 AM
I just got set up on arousr and mid-tutorial a couple of guys started chatting me up. Success from the moment of inception. Today's goal just got raised from a minimum of $100 (of which I'm 8.43 short) to $200. Bazinga!

04-01-2014, 07:57 PM
Gah I want my ticker to go up! A savings goal is so much slower than an earnings goal, I want to see my ticker moving! Maybe I'll have to edit my challenge to be an earnings challenge rather than savings.

Everyone is going great so far!!! :D Can't wait to see where we all end up!

kortneykay
04-01-2014, 08:19 PM
$1,272.50 today :D. Reg wanted to replace my shitty laptop and I charged a reg $30 for a 10 min show instead of $35 because my laptop was too shitty and my lights were too far away :/ Then, I couldn't get the laptop I wanted because pp wanted to hold my funds and then HP wouldn't accept my debit card which had money on it. I'll be calling them tomorrow to see what's up because I don't know how long I'll be able to ride with the Toshiba :( Also, it's great to get a new laptop to splitcam with but that's money not going towards the new car. Le sigh.

Issabelle
04-02-2014, 12:17 AM

Like, seriously, I heart you for turning me on to this site! $132.06 and rising.

Edit: 1:15 a.m. where I'm at and I'm signing off with $144.56 for my first day with Arousr. Seriously love this site and how spoiled it's making me feel about everything. My ticker is already over halfway to the first hashtag ($1800). I'm debating making myself pretty to cam for a bit as my new model status is ending soon, but sleeping is also tempting. However, successful hustling is making me wanna hustle more. Mwhahaha!

just ordered a new laptop but it won't be coming for at least 2 weeks as it's being custom made. I'm excited to be able to finally split screen properly as there's more than enough ram and everything in between. Multitasking will be much, much easier. I'm going to split like Jaoquin Pheonix's upper lip!

OK, so I'm a shitty camgirl for NOT getting on cam, but I saved my cute little ass by phone boning one of my WONDERFUL regs who I ADORE (90 fucking minutes, I love you my dirty perv!!), had a new reg call me, and made a good amount on arousr without even TRYING. Just think when I have my content stuff going strong! I was telling Issabelle how awesome it would be if I only had to cam three times a week (MFC and/or Chaturbate and of course Niteflirt and then have indy shows with whoever as they schedule!) Making a living with phone, texting and fansites/selling content would be a lot less draining for sure. Maybe that should be a goal when the hustle is done?!
