I haven't made much of anything since...Sunday? I caught a cold off of my roommate and I'm crazy freaking congested. I've done a little vanilla work/texting, but I haven't made more than $100 in the last four days combined. Ugh. I'm gonna sleep this off for a night, get caught up on schoolwork, then probably pull a couple of long shifts so I can hopefully break at least $500 for the week.

I'm a little over $500 but I should hit $1000 for the week. I think I am going take off weekends or only do indy shows on Saturday to save my sanity. My hustle will have to be Monday through Friday.

Ugh…I think I've lost my mojo. I took Tuesday night off because I was an emotional train wreck, ended up bawling about nonsensical crap for the evening while my hubby thought I was working. Yesterday, I was trying hard to pull myself out of my funk - worked in my gardens, spent time with my kids, got drunk and happy again with an hour's Skype call with my Dom…and then forced myself to get on cam for a planned 2 hours. Yeah. I lasted about 5 minutes. I couldn't even hold a smile, and after a string of pop in/pop out guys on SM without even a single "hello" from them…I signed off. I have 8 days left before my trip…and I'm $560 short of my trip fund goal...and I can't even muster up a damn smile and suck it up for 2 hours.

Oh wise cam women of SW..please pass down your wisdom and tales of how you cam (and hustle well) when you just want to curl up in bed with ice cream and tissues?

I need to do this! So here it goes


Your Hustle(s) of Choice: working at least 4 days a week on CB and SM (sometimes cam4) for at least 4 hours day
Your High Goal: $10,000
Your Minimum Goal: $4000
Day You Will Start: 5/8/14
Date of Completion: 9/11/14
Your Completion Reward:My end date is my boyfriends 21st which means I'll be able to celebrate properly and I will also take myself on a big shopping spree. It has been so long since I've really bought any clothes or accessories for myself.

And now I'm about to go make a ticker/status bar for my Hustle progress :)

I am getting bored at looking at myself everyday XD. have invested in some new coloured eye contacts, hair extensions, and nailpolish. Hoping it will arrive soon!! Today is a slighty better day than the past horrible days in free chat.
Wwishing everyone a happy camming day!

Add a fifty dollar gift card from the guy I got most of the money in my last post from. Will update ticker eventually, it's a bit over a grand above what's showing.
@sweetlilyraven wine makes me warm and fuzzy enough to last a few hours, but it depends on your mindset. Just picture a whale out there waiting to throw money at you.The more time you spend online, the closer he gets to finding you. When he does, he'll spoil you like mine does me :)

Ladies, I've been too lazy to hustle after that camathon but I'll be working all day tomorrow. Today I noticed sugar ants raiding my bedroom closet and I'm setting off a 4 hour bomb. I'm also putting down bait traps so that if anymore survive the genocide I can give them a free peace offering meal to bring back to their queen and kill that little black bitch off :D I can't hustle or sleep knowing ants are 5ft from my bed and a few feet from my camming spot since I moved it into my room. My hustle today is to bomb and clean my apartment as a clean space leaves more mental room to hustle. I don't seem to do my best in dirty surroundings. I hope you all are doing well! I paid up my bills so I'm taking advantage of being lazy but that stops this weekend because KK has shit to do money wise.

I'm at $219.57/$300 and feeling totally unmotivated to finish up. Bah. I need to make at least $2k/week for the next five weeks, or I'm going to have to borrow money. That means a LOT of work.

Updating my ticker today was very rewarding. I realized I have to extend my deadline or increase my hustle. Probably the latter. Today's momentum was good.

I haven't joined this challenge, but I just want you girls to know that I check this thread every single day for motivation!

I've been doing what I learned from lifehacker. Have "No Zero Days" which means you don't go a single day without working, even just a little bit, towards your goal.

Oh wise cam women of SW..please pass down your wisdom and tales of how you cam (and hustle well) when you just want to curl up in bed with ice cream and tissues?

I'm sorry you are having a hard time. The last few weeks have been *very* rough for me too. I had a terrible sinus infection that knocked me down bad. Plus the guys on my sites were being dicks or not there. I have one of those faces where I can't hide it, so when I look like my eyes might go south, I just hold off. I actually did curl up in bed a few times cuz I couldn't do it. I started taking 1hr naps between shifts. Seems when I say to myself "90 min tops" I power through better. Also when there's a reward at the end of the shift, like chocolate (or even a nap). It helped when I changed up my makeup a little bit and started wearing push up bras under my tops. I'm buying false eyelashes for the first time ever and that's fun. I also signed up for 2 new sites in the last week. That helped *a ton* because it gave me hope. Most important, this hustle that kortney started and everyone is participating in so beautifully. It's done wonders for my mood and knowing there's support. We all have good & bad days so I totally feel you. This is not an easy job, but lean on us for support when you need to :)

Alright, payout is in less than an hour on SM and I'm trying to break $100 on this check so I'm not hurting for bills the next month. Whatever flu I've had is close enough to gone that I need to get back to the hustle. I'm rested, I'm ready--I'm back bitches! Now gimme all the money in your wallets gentleman.

I'm at $1380/2100 for my first $2k week goal, with three days left. Looking pretty good! Now I just have to keep this up for the next 5 weeks, or moving (end of this month) and my trip to Thailand (middle of next month) will get *very* tricky.

TransdimentionalPrincess I love that zero days idea! Camming can be super exhausting but thankfully phone sex, clip stores, and texting sites exist so we can hustle on those days that we just don't feel the energy to cam. I will say this, on the days I hustle hard I sure do enjoy the money it brings the following week. :D

This week's hustle will be the same for me. Split camming, phone bonin' and sexting my way to financial freedom. I'm a little worried that I don't have enough time to make my goal or shall I say I don't have enough HUSTLE in me but I'm going to be pulling some out of my ass. I have 14 more weeks until my challenge deadline so I'm setting a goal high goal of $2,100k per week starting today and a minimum goal of $1,785 per week. I basically need to make at LEAST $25k in the next 14 weeks just to make my minimum goal. That's either $300 per day, 7 days a week, or, $300 per day, 6 days a week. I'm thinking slow and steady wins the race and taking at least one day off ($1,800) or if I should go like the energizer bunny, fuck a day off, and burn out in London which was my whole plan.

Possibly, I can do a variation of the two and come out with $27,300.00 because I could do 7 hustle weeks at $2100 per week, and 7 one day off weeks at $1800 and just mix them into every other week. I'm also a little worried about how slow it will be this summer but I suppose if one is willing to stay on all day to make their goal, I don't see summer being an issue. $300 per day isn't that high of a goal (to me) if I'm willing to do any and everything to reach it. If that means making only $50 on 6 sites per day, it's still totally possible and the summer just might happen like that.

I feel like I've let myself down by not hustling as hard as I know I can but I still have time and shit is about to get real different. Time to haul ass! Just made a new "Huslin' Schedule" I want this SO bad ladies. Mark my words ladies on this day. I will be sippin' a nice cold glass of moscatto on a British Airways flight to London. Cheers. :D

It has been a HARD hustle today. $202/300 and I've been working on and off most of the day. Looks like it'll be a working night, too, because I *am* going to make that $300. In another month I'll be off enjoying myself with a good friend in Thailand - until then, it's time to work, work, WORK!

I would kill for a nice long private right now. It's been $10 here, $20 there all day. I know it adds up, but c'mon! Where are my big spenders today?

Just looked at my earnings for the month and realized I've not even made $300 all month. I've really gotta work. I'm waiting on the bf to clear out of the bedroom for the day and then I'm working kink live all day today and tomorrow. Although, the last couple times I've worked there I haven't made anything. I had to go out of town for three days over the weekend so that really hurt my earnings. Hopefully things pick up soon! Definitely like the idea of no zero days. I think that's going to be my goal for the rest of the month.

I'm at $0/300 today. Shoot. Drank too much last night and wasn't feeling well at all most of the day. Will hop on tonight and see if I can't finish out the week strong! I'm at $1592/2100 for the week, with just today and tomorrow left.

Afternoonie Ladies! Today's hustle will be the usual. IML, SM, APP, MPS, NF, TTM, CMD, Arousr and possibly AW, and KL if I feel up for it. I'll be hustling all damn day until midnight if I can. Of course I'm going for my usual $300 but I may make more and I hope I do. I have a bridal shower this weekend as well as I promised to see my mom and grandparents as it's been years so I really need to get it poppin' Happy Hustlin'!

05-13-2014, 01:07 PM
Alright, head cold over and I've gradually caught up on all the shit that piled up from real life while I was sick. I'm gonna stay in tonight after I get off work and hang out on SM and Arousr until I hit at least the $200 mark for the day.

Are you able to split cam? Or do texting or something so you're still making something during the time you're online? I know you're into bdsm so you should eventually do well on Kink but maybe if your computer can handle it you should split cam with SM or another site while you put in that time building regs on Kink (forgive me if you're already split camming and I missed that, I want u to succeed bb!)

$70/300 for today and I can only blame myself, I started too late knowing that 99.9% of the time at night I don't do well. It's really slow/dead all over so I'm going to retire and start again tomorrow as I don't have he energy to stay on any longer. I'm still crossing my fingers and toes in hopes that IML does me really well the next 2 days, like $400 at least, well.

Issabelle
05-14-2014, 02:26 AM
Well, I ended with like $60 for the day. Not bad, not great. I have tons to do tomorrow though and I'm really trying to make up for last week, so I'm gonna have to find time to hustle at some point.

I'm trying out new rates ($4.99 for exclusive, $5.49 for premium) on SM. I'm in paid less, but making the same so far which means no complaints from me. I hate premium chat as I rarely get multiple customers and nearly always end up with peepers and general irritations. Setting my premium much higher has certainly helped me out in getting rid of that. I almost always end up doing exclusive chat now--thank heavens!

Arousr has been pretty good for me lately. I've had requests for videos and the like a lot. I'm seriously considering starting a C4S page and doing a few, but I have no idea how the whole thing works (input ladies?!) and I'm still twitchy about having my content in someone's hands forever. I mean, I realize that I'm probably recorded regularly on SM and ending up on tube sites, but I still have some weird biases against making it even easier to do. I just hate the idea of this coming back to bite me in a big way when I'm out of the industry and back to healthcare full time. I'm not personally worried about the reactions because, dude, I'm hot and make money, but being penalized for my current job would be very frustrating in the future.

I've also made a 'Life Plan' sort of thing. I wrote out my goals for the week, month, and then every three months for a year, plus a one and five year goal list. I think seeing those deadlines posted above my desk will really help me get on them. I'm seriously looking into saving about 30k to start day trading and investing in the next year. I have close friends/family who do it and make bank enough to live very, very comfortably. Being able to flip the bird at humanity while paying all my bills and not having a boss? Totally down for that. I just need to save the cash to take the classes and start working. Yucky! I'm assuming that I need 25k per year to live (including income I need to make to cover taxes). 30k will mean about 10k in taxes, so that's another 40k I need to make. If I want that money in 12 months, I need to make 60k or around 5k per month. That works out to an average of $200 per day six days a week. I think it's doable, but I really needed to see those numbers laid out as motivation to get on more. If all goes well, I'll be more or less out of the industry entirely by the end of next summer!

Im going full force tomorrow, took today off (bad backpains, & worst mood ever to join the pain).
Scheduled 8 workhoures, and hoping to be able to do even more.
Im currently at 256$ and want to make at leat 1500 this week, so its time to hit it hard

I wish you girls a great cammingtime!!!!
Lets hustlllllleeeeeeeeeeeee!


PS The most I have ever managed to work on a day is 6 houres, so it will be a new record if I can make it (backpains and fear of giving bad shows due to tireness stopped me from making those 8 houres a day)
I am allready prepared by tanning + new nailpolish + baby soft feet + taken care of my dark roots

So I've had this bill coming up on the 16th and I've been sort of freaking out lately about it. Right when I was laying in bed for the night about to log off for bed, a reg hit me up on skype and did a show with me for 85 min and I made $320 my cut! He even waiting 30 min while I put my makeup on haha. So glad I did! I've been saying I need to make exactly $300 to be safe (with some still left over) for days now and BAM! that's how much I was given. What's funny was I decided not to log on to free chat today because it was so slow and I was planning to wake up super early and hustle on IML for like 18 hours. I will be working tomorrow for sure anyway just to cover any loose ends. Love you all and hope you get everything you've asked for!

Issabelle
05-15-2014, 12:19 AM
Well, I was gonna write today off as a wash and go to sleep because, seriously, $3.32 on SM in like 45 minutes? Fuck that noise. So I logged into Arousr while I was studying and kind of just ignored it in favor of my desktop computer. About an hour ago, a guy messaged me to see my strip photo set and sent mega tips, plus a reg wanting a long session, plus several other guys over the hour. $37 off Arousr. Victory! It's not what I wanted for the day, but $50 total is much better than $0 on a crap day.

Sabihah
05-15-2014, 05:00 AM
I took the last few days off after getting paid for renting my room... Which is fine, but it can't be a regular thing. Mashing today's and yesterday's goals together since I didn't start until midnight. At $450/600 and hoping I can just finish up in the next few hours and then NAP! My sleep schedule is just complete nonsense lately.

SweetLilyRaven
05-15-2014, 05:23 AM
Okay…decided to do one last ditch effort before my trip on Friday. I was super excited that three of my favorite regulars came through and I hit $133 for the night. I had absentmindedly mentioned to one of them that I had a few new pictures for sale…and just before I went to bed, I did a final total of my earnings to log into my excel spreadsheet. One of them bought the new pics for another whooping $24! That put my nightly total over $150!!! I'm only $371 of my trip goal…and I'm hoping I can lean on my whale a bit to cover that last bit. Holy crap was last night great!!

Three something in the last 24 hours but very sporadic because of a bothersome tooth. Like,the pain goes up to my eye :( Took pain meds, which keep me up, so Stripperweb is where I'll be til my doctors' appointment in the morning.Will update ticker when I'm done eating candy and playing online.

Where the heck have all my beautiful ladies gone?! This thread isn't allowed to die! Nooooooo~!

Ahem, enough dramatics. So, update: I've gotten my ass back in gear and started camming again (finally). My childhood BFF is sitting behind me doing her first ever show!!! I'm so excited I got to help her get into camming. Send all the good thoughts and feelings towards her snagging some whales. She's a BBW, so any ladies who have advice specifically towards that niche are welcome to lemme know. I'm not anywhere near BBW, so I have trouble giving her many specifics besides 'oooh, read this threat babe!' Haha.

Woohooo! Make that cash lady friends!

05-20-2014, 12:34 AM
hey ladies, hope you're all doing well. I'm up at 3:30am "hustling" the phone lines and texts because I didn't sleep much yesterday and I fell out earlier haha. I'm thinking of staying up and pulling a 7am-12pm shift, going back to sleep, and then getting back on at 8pm-12am, not sure. These next two weeks are crucial so I need to hustle as long as I can, for as much as I can.

ETA: One of my regs did a 30 min show for $120 my cut. He's the only cam reg that I will get out of bed and throw on makeup in 15 min for, lol. Glad I stayed up!

Where the heck have all my beautiful ladies gone?! This thread isn't allowed to die! Nooooooo~!

I lost an entire week due to plumbing, electrical and IT problems at my house. One. Whole. Week. 100 degree weather, broken A/C, period cramps, digging in the yard, no running water/electrical much of the time, men outside my cam room w/the new A/C....hoping I'm not recognized when they act nervous or look at me funny. Good times! :D

Enough venting, I am back on track and only had one meltdown (last night when the Mac guy did not leave until 11pm due to my server issues). Today is a new day, I'm with you ladies and want to make you all proud.

Staples

To the ladies that are struggling. IT'S OKAY! Really, it is. The camming game isn't promised and neither is the hustle. Some days you will can go on at 7am and get off at 12am and still not make your goals. I just wanted to let you know that all of you inspire me, even on your worst days/weeks/months. As long as you're getting your butt on that cam and working, that's all that matters. Also, something tells me that a Fall/Winter Hustle won't be up long after this one :D

Today I'm feeling shitty and it's shark week for me so I'm also exhausted, in pain, hungry and not feeling very motivated. However, I have a $500 plane ticket to purchase, a $220 hotel room, wedding gift, rent, car note, car insurance, cable/net/phone bill, utility bills, groceries, and spring/summer wardrobe to pay for so that's all the motivation I need for the next two weeks, lol.

Depends on the girl. Mine is including my bill money. Some of the girls are only counting money saved.

I'm thinking of starting a separate ticker for my 30k goal. That one is gonna take a while though, but oh well! How will I ever know how far I have to go if I don't list out where I'm at from the beginning?

Time to get on cam!

Another 50, all I could manage in two hours. There's a wisdom tooth that's been making my life a living hell coming out Friday, so it'll be hustle time from then on out.
