Gracie, most girls that work arousr aren't even cammodels. 50% of the girls on there are fakes (the ones with 5 stars) and the sexting end of the spectrum is a lot wider than the camming end. I'd say only 10 girls actually offer camming services.
Interesting about the fakes! I had no idea. That's what I heard that she likes you to have a following of some sort, I feel like I read that in verified. But I could be wrong who knows.

Hope everyone is doing well with their goals!!!
I need to readjust mine since I haven't been working much due to nausea taking over my life! I'll update my goals when I reconfigure. :)
Good luck everyone!!!

I actually made more than $100 tonight on arousr which is rare from texting at least. Glad my reg found me. He wanted to talk about something taboo so I charged him $1.99 per min for a 30 min text block on skype, then he went ahead and tipped me 2000 more tokens so I made about $80 my cut off of him in like 45 min lol. Texting for $0.25 per text is nice, but I much rather charge $1.99 per min since some of these guys take forever to reply back or only have a few bucks to spend on sexting. I need to update my ticker...I'll do it tomorrow. Off to bed ladies, gym then hustle all day tomorrow! Hope you guys are doing well!

She does like you to have a following, like you know twitter, someone established so that you can bring your own traffic as well, but the site wasn't made specifically for camgirls. The site was supposed to be a texting only site and she realized that real girls like us like to hustle more than just texting. That's when she added in the tipping options for the custies, video store, etc. The site is mainly a texting and phone sex (optional) platform but non fake girls can sell other things but it's still pretty new. I've been on that site since the day she opened (using a fake at the time) and even I was hustling my model's pic sets and videos. In the beginning she gave away fake girls to new hires and everything. She caught on later which is why she prefers girls who are a bit established in adult work, not necessarily cammodels if that makes sense?

Morning ladies, it's 7:52am and I just got back from the gym (and McDonald's, lol). I put putted around so now I'm late for my 8am shift but I will be on by 10am and I'll try and make my $300 goal until 5pm. I'm just happy I finally got my ass up finally on time. Happy Hustling!

$720.51 since 4/16. Not too shabby!! I can't believe I made that much in just 2 weeks…I think if I hustle my ass for the next 2 weeks, I'll have enough to really enjoy my trip to England and Spain…which is in 15 days!! Time to really step up my game.
So far: $720.51 Left: 2279.49

I decided to give up on arousr after she asked for better pics the second time.She has called me about 5 times this week saying she wanted me to work for her and send in at least 2 0r 3 pics if I could. I ignored the calls and sent her to voicemail.She should have been nice the first time or the 2nd no 3 strikes for me lol. I am hot I know it she knew it but she chose to be snooty with me and I am just not into that I am my own boss I will never work for or under someone like that if I wanted that I would be in a vanilla job dealing with a dick who is hard to please and makes me redo my work 3 and 4 times.Not for me sorry but I do commend you girls who deal with it or are not dealing with it maybe she is nice to most of you I hope. I needed extra money yesterday and had to wait three weeks for her to finally see she did want me no thanks lol. I am dedicated to streamate .

That sucks about the situation with the pics, Brittany. Sorta reminds me of those Craigslist "photographers" (in the Gigs section) who you'd send a photo, and they'd always say "Nice. Do you have anymore pics you can send?" But those guys were just pic collectors and not real photographers, but I digress.....
Since you guys are talking about Arousr, I'll ask right here...do girls ever sign up for that site just to offer texting and not phone sex? I figured no, and they'd just use a site like ExtraLunchMoney if they just wanted to offer texting, right?
The 'Other Work' section has a thread about Arousr too, though I hardly ever post in that section:

Thanks brownfox.I signed up for just texting and figured it would be okay for extra money.She should have been nicer to me and I think she is thinking about it now since she has called me several times.It to me means that I should focus on sm more and only sm lol.About to do a major camathon 500 goal by payout lol. We will see what happens.I have to update my ticker soon too have made some lol.

Brownfox, yes, the phone sex feature is something new to those of us who've been on it a while. It's really a texting site. You don't have to do phone sex and I really don't think phone sex on there is worth it. Honestly, she gives new guys a free 100 credit package for signing up. It costs 10 credits to text in which you get $0.25 and so does the site. It's a value of $0.50 per text, $5 total credit but 1 single credit is valued (your cut) in $0.05 increments like with MFC. The issue is, I think calls are worth like 35 credits per min or something in which MOST guys use their 100 free credits so you'll get a ton of guys calling just to use their free credits and it will hang up after 2 min. Because calls are $0.45-0.75(I get $0.75 a min) you're only making like $1.40 for those 2 min. Yes, that adds up, but no one wants to talk to some cheap ass for 2 min when they can make more texting for longer periods. I only do phone sex for regulars that call for at least 10 min or more. Then I know at least I'll make $7+ on each call. So yes, to answer your question most girls sign up just to text.

Thank you, ladies. Last question (because I feel like I'm ruining this challenge thread with all my questions)...the website says "We assign you with a phone number where guys can TEXT or CALL." If I choose to sign up for texting only, I could still wind up with guys calling me, right? And it's just up to me to not pick up? I read the Arousr thread in the Other Work section of SW, and I don't remember them covering this question. I'll check that thread again though.

Questions are a good thing. How else will we get more eggs for our basket? :)
The guys can't call you without you allowing it. You have to set your phone status to online before they can call. For the sake of an example, I've annotated the fuck out of the chat home page on Arousr. Enjoy ladies.

Hey there ladies, I'm on my 1st hour break now. Four hours down, 16 more to go but I'm going to do this shit. I'm at $38 per hour but I'm hoping it will pick up, especially in the morning and when the drunks get home from being let down at the bar/club. With this average I'm looking at $700 by 8pm but I'm hoping $900 will happen.
I'm tired at the moment but I don't feel as bad as I thought I would considering I was extremely tired when I started. I'm going to chug my first redbull and relax a bit and hope back on once my break is over. For those of you ladies who wanted to do it with me but couldn't, hopefully you can make up for it later. Cheers and happy hustlin' bbs!

Well, I had a lovely tear filled conversation with the boyfriend right before I'm supposed to start camming so now I'm trying to calm myself down and get rid of the swollen eyes and tear stains before I put my makeup on. It's 1:30 am now and I wanted to be on by 2:00. Not sure if that is going to happen but I'm sure going to try.
Sabihah
05-03-2014, 12:27 AM
Totally blasted through my goal in my last two hours! $522! I'm tired as hell and my ass is gonna be bruised from that last "painslut" private, but I can't complain when I'm pulling half a grand in less than 5 hours!

I peeked at you for a second Sabihah right before you got taken private. I was sending you good vibes and hoping you hit your goal! I'm glad it went awesome for you!!!
It is now almost 5:00 in the morning and I am JUST now getting on because my brother called me and we talked for 2 hours but it was great to hear from him so I decided not to worry about it. Now I'm hoping for a good early morning shift.

Yay, thanks! It seems to have worked! ;)
Sending you positive vibes, too! In my experience, the early morning shift can sometimes be super lucrative because there tend to be fewer camgirls online to compete with.

@Staples, hugs bb, so sorry you had a fight with the BF.
It's been 12 hours since I started the camathon, I've taken one break for an hour since I started and I'm going to sleep for 3 hours since this last indy custy had a 3 hour straight show. (DEAD) And yes, he was a druggie lol. Anyway, I'm at $600 and I'm going to be finishing up this camathon after my nap until 8pm. Hope you guys have a great day!

Wow! One incredible lady. This is really motivating me. Saturday is usually a day off for me but I'm working 6 hours today. All of you ladies are living proof it can be done. I've saved $100 but I'm only on Day 3 - determined I can do this and I'll be so happy.

Ladies, I ended up bunching all my breaks (plus one, lol) into one long ass nap so I'm feeling a bit better after a 5 hour nap. I'm getting ready again to hop on until 8pm. After that, my ass is sleeping for a good 10 hours hehe.

Thank you so muc for your Arousr help. xxx It's good when I find time for it, my old problem seems to be getting away, finding an appropriate moment to log out when I'm not in the middle of a paid session! It's a bitch. Not sure still about the problem I had, Linda is investigating it.
Yes, I have another possibly stupid question: 1) videos: does the video link make him pay for it before viewing, or do I need to make him tip first and then I send the video?

Raising my goal for today to $500, since I'm already at $329! Yesterday and today have been AMAZING, if a little rough on my body. I know some of you are struggling right now, and I really hope you hit a win streak like I have! I've struggled to get anywhere near my goals for the past month, so it's great to finally start pushing ahead. :D

This dude, Reigning King of the Boneheads, in an excerpt from our last convo (since the full one was just more of the same):
Me : What're you in the mood for today?
Pussydestr : Lots of stuff
Me : :) Anything specific?
Pussydestr : No
Me : Mmh, wanna trade pics to start then babe?
Pussydestr : Ok
Me : What would you like to see first?
Pussydestr : ?
Me : What kind of pictures?
Pussydestr : Sexy pic
Me : Right then. *PAID*
Shockingly, he didn't accept. How can anything with a penis be that clueless about what to do with it? It's, like, the one thing he should be good at.

Hey ladies, sorry I haven't been keeping up with this challenge. I've been working but not really keeping track of my earnings OR hanging around SW much.
I'm definitely inspired by you all though! This upcoming week I'm doing a 40 hours challenge. I don't think I've EVER worked a full 40 hour week since I started camming. It'll be really tough but I know the payoff will be huge. I'll keep updating this thread with my progress. :)

Tip, then video. Just like pictures. Also, if he says he isn't getting the link to work, recommend he open it on his computer/phone browser directly. That always fixes it. If he still says no, well, email Linda and send her a screenshot of the chat. You can refund tips, but I have guys scamming me once in a while, so I direct them to her.
Pre-Set videos that are uploaded to the account are supposed to have a set token price. The customer will see the price when he tries to download it and if he can afford it, you will see "product purchased" in your earnings with your cut of the video. Tipping isn't necessary for videos since you already have a price attached to it. If he wants a custom video then yes, please make him tip before you do it and then once you load it, set it to $0.00 so he won't have to pay to view it again. Once he's seen it slap any price you want for it and resell it to others. :) If he can't afford a video, once he clicks your link he will not have access to view it at all.
Also, Linda has bitched at us in the past for asking for tips before seeing photos. If he's in a paid session with you please do not ask him to tip to see it because he's alreay paying you $0.25 to see your photo every time you hit send. Linda will eventually yell at everyone or shoot you an email if you ask for tips for vids/photos that are already uploaded. If he wanted to buy a custom photoset, etc then sure, make him tip for the set but photos shown in premium mode aren't allowed to be bribed for tips any longer. We did this in the beginning and the customers bitched about it.

Hey lovies! Cam-A-Thon results are in! *Drum roll please!!* And the amount made before 8pm issssss $670!!! NOT what I wanted but it's my own fault. I went down for a 3 hour "break" nap that turned into 5 hours so I missed my chances of making $900 by cut off but I'm at $950 for the week. I'm still taking texts and phone calls from all my sites and I'll put myself over $1k before I call it quits for the day. Tomorrow I will rest up from cam and phone bone and text all day because several of my non-cam sites have cut off on Sundays. That should put me at about $1,200 for the week which I'm totally satisfied with.
SM was extremely slow my last 4 hour shift and I was disappointed in what I made there but you win some, you lose some. I did a total of 16 on cam and took 6 hours worth of breaks. I'm tired and a little sore but it wasn't as bad as I thought. I did it with 2 redbulls and one adderall and a few snacks. I'm shocked I didn't get high or drink, hehe. I guess what I learned with this cam-a-thon is that my body is perfectly capable of completing any and everything I put it through so long as my mind is strong enough. I'm a little bummed out that I didn't stick out those 5 hours but my body was screaming for rest by hour 12 and I'm glad I napped, got back up, and finished anyway. The $300 I missed out on will show up sometime this week so I'm not worried about the loss. I'm so shocked I'm still awake though, I thought by now I was going to be drooling and cross-eyed as fuck but I'm quite alert.
I'm probably going to sleep lightly and take $50 worth of calls and then it's bedy bye bye for me. I have to go to Starbucks tomorrow and meet a friend at 10:30. Hope you guys are doing well today with your individual hustles!

Good note KK--I was assuming custom vids/photos. I sell my sets for tips, but that's not the same as the previously uploaded ones. And yes, agreed on the photos. If a guy asks for one of my full photo sets, I'll take him to paid and have him tip me the rate as those I sell at a slight discount (not $.50 per pic in 30 pic sets for strip teases, anyway).
My rule is photos are for paid chat, or tips if in free. I prefer to sell photo sets in free via tip, but if they wanna pay full price for a whole strip tease I'm not gonna argue. Videos are something I don't do much of, so KK is more of an expert.

My day was unfortunately crap. I made a grand total of $49 in 7 hours an finally just went to bed. Oh well, I got 5 solid hours of sleep which is basically a full night for me so I'm pretty awake. I'm gonna eat dinner and get back to it in a bit. I notice SM is better on Saturdays AFTER cut off time so maybe I can start this pay period out right.
Issabelle
05-03-2014, 05:37 PM
Woot! Cam update: had a British guy come in for a nice session. Made about $24 off him after my cut, plus 20g in tips, and he picked premium instead of exclusive (which is cheaper, but oh well) and had another guy join for a bit. So $40 off that 15 minute session. Yay! Not bad for minimal work.
Edit: Up to $70.09 for 85 minutes online and only 28 in paid chat. Victory. Quick break and back at it. :)

Ok, so I'm posting this a day later than plan, but better than never, I guess. ;>
I'm trying to EARN this money, rather than just save it all for this challenge. It'll be like I have mini goal rewards throughout this whole journey. This is because I'm preparing for the arrival of my baby in mid-September.
I've never been consistent with working, not for about 4 years now, regardless of what it is I'm doing. I'm slowly trying trying to beat this bad habit, and now is the best time to prove that I can.
Your High Goal: $37,000
Your Minimum Goal: $20,000
Day You Will Start: 05/03/2014
Date of Completion: 09/06/2014
Your Completion Reward: Min. Rewards - Obtain a house (rental), Paying off basic debt, Things for the baby, 2-3 Months of Living expenses after baby is born (work break), and Furnishings for house. Max. Rewards - New car, Extra month of living expenses after baby is born, and paying off remaining debt that's not student loans.
I'm glad you guys are doing a great job here and I hope I can keep up! I actually didn't work at all yesterday, due to body pain. Not feeling much pain today, so I'll get busy within 1-2 hours!

Welcome, Sonikku! Glad you decided to join in :)
Soooo yeah, I'm at $975.11 for the week. I wanted $1,200 but I'll be okay. My bills are paid and I'll a little bit of spending money to work with. Next week, I'm going big or going home. It's hustle or die because I have to pay my first official car note, purchase my flight and hotel room for my uncle's wedding, have some cash for family dinner, and obviously rent, cable, etc. Thankfully it's a new month and a fresh start. Hope you ladies are killin' it!

I think I reached the end of my lucky earning streak - only made $110 in a little over 3 hours yesterday. Oh well, that's how it goes. My ass is bruised to all hell and shark week is upon me, so it might be a little rough this week.
On the plus side, I've got my favorite slave sending me to a spa and a high-end restaurant this weekend. :D
IvyRose
05-05-2014, 11:59 PM
I can see why he is your fav slave ;)... So nice! You will get an amazing weekend Sabihah
Yesterday I felt like a spoilt little princess and threw a bitchfit...
You know those days you earn frigging much and than the following day you are just waiting and it doesnt go that well (but still it goes fairly well)...
It was one of those days for me yesterday, and I knew I was feeling like a little kid throwing a fit but I just coudnt help it. The freeloaders really got to me + the amount of stupid questions and I felt full of rage and was getting into arguments and angrytalks/deathstares a big portion of time in freechat. I made one blocksession because of it with a new custie who wanted me to be his bitchgf/cuckholding XD but that was it.
I need to start without any goals today and without any expectations, because it is killing my mood. It seems like when I do have expectations I always do bad, maybe bec I always get cranky and beat myself up or think somthing is wrong with my when I dont meet my own expectations.
Also I have been spoilt to much in the weekend with a lot of shows and going downwards isnt much fun but I still make good money, so I should bitchslap myself for pouting at my hourly%
Today I am starting again with a smile and patience, and will stay online as long as I need to make my goal

I've been on Kink Live for 3.5 hours and I haven't made a fucking dime. I can't get a play session going, I can't get a public room show going, and I can't seem to hook anybody for a private. I wanted to do well there since the cut-off for payouts is tonight. I'm at the beginning of a 24 hour camathon (going until 1:00 tomorrow) and this is a really crappy way to start it out.

Hi :) 975 since I last updated, including 275 from scrapping my old car, which I so think should count. Let me know if it doesn't? Gonna take today off and sign up for Kink Live and CMD tomorrow.

Not really wanting to hustle to day but I'm gonna make myself do it anyway because that's what a hustler does, lol. GET TO DAT MONAY HONAY!
