Clocked in a little over 10 hours today. The last hour was brutal. Lol. It was a decent day overall. Back at it again tomorrow.
I will be pulling another long shift tomorrow Sammii, if you need a chat buddy. Go get your $$$, girlie. :)
Good job!!!
I'm only 3 hours in and ready for bed. I got on later than planned, of course. Will do at least 3 more tonight after I eat. Then, tomorrow I WILL do 10!

I made it to 6 hours. Had kind of an emotional crisis and had to go cry it out. I'm ok now though. EXHAUSTED though. So I'm just gonna head to bed early tonight, wake up at the ass of dawn and hopefully pull in 10 hours.
I wasn't really happy with what I made for the time I put in, but tomorrow is a new day!

It's a new day, ladies! Log on and make those hours. I promise the earlier you start, the easier it is. ;)

I was planning on 8 hours today, but woke up late and have had streaming problems, so I will be looking at just 4 hours of a choppy pixelated stream. Sigh. I will try again another time!

Tried it. Failed actually. I came close to working 3 days a week doing 12 hour shifts so I can be off for four days. On day four I was spent, watched TV and was worthless to anyone. Day five after camming I remember a bad headache.
This was before my disability came along so I needed all the money bad!
Too hard for me, I was not eating on cam, so I took short breaks and inhaled food, it sucked.

I'm sorry Camgirl :(

This is the truest statement ever made. =P
I've done 2 hours so far... it's not going great but it's not terrible either. Well, correction, STREAMATE is terrible, but my other sites are kinda helping to pick up the slack at least. It's gonna be a looooonng day. But I'm ready. BRING IT ON! And good luck to the rest of you ladies too! :)

Same here. 2 hours in I had to take a break, going to get back on now. SM has sucked balls but my other sites are doing good. I've made more on LJ today than SM. LOL What's that tell you, I mean really?! Lots of preggo lovers on LJ though.

I don't even know why I'm bothering. I made $5 the past hour on SM. Will be hard to pull off 7 more hours of this.
What happened to this site. It's just fucking mind blowing. I'm going to be homeless soon.
I dunno for once I am making more money on my old site than SM. Normally 90% of my money comes from SM yet ever since the 1st it's like only 30% is coming from SM.
Same here. More money is being made off SM than on SM.

I don't know. I'm so bored, there's not even any freeloaders in my room to talk to. there are 0-3 people in my room at any given time. I've made $50 on SM today so far.. and $35 of that was from one random long exclusive.
I'm SOOO behind on bills (my fault, not SM's or anyone else's) but webcam has always been that kind of job where you put in the hours, and you'll make the cash you need... virtually guaranteed. Not so anymore.

I'm logging off for now, but for what it's worth... in the last 2 hours SM got a lot better for me. Don't give up ladies!

Tomorrow i plan to work my vanilla job (8 hours), then take a nap, then cam for 8 hours through the night (with sort breaks and switching sites if i get bored). I have some big trips planned this summer, so i need to make as much money as i can, both to offset the time off and to pay for the travel! I've never done this before, but I'll have a cooler full of snacks, some energy drinks, games planned, and a massive playlist to keep me motivated! Happy camming :)

I didn't make it. I think I did 6 hours and logged off crying. Yeah, one of those days.
I guess I'm not cut out for the long hours. I'm just going to put in as many as I can today and call it good.
Good luck to everyone else! Sammii I hope you make what you need!
Smurfette
06-05-2014, 12:59 PM
I put in about 5.5 hours. That seems to be about where I max out.
I'm having trouble pushing myself to get online today... I've just been filming videos instead. Blaahhhh.

OK! I'm getting ready to pull a loooonnng 48hr can a thon until 5p sat on SM.
My new anti anxiety meds have kicked in and I'm ready to cam! I need to make some good $$ for rent.
I also have goals I want for this summer for a new couch, patio furniture, tires, bedding.
Let's do this!!!
I'm also going to aim for the 1000\week challenge.
Camming rocks!

yea one time that happened to me and i was on this sugardaddy site.. the nite before i went on a date with him and the next day he paid me 1grand for rent.. haha.. I didn't even have sex with him..lol.. so i understand.. My rent was like 1175 bucks and I only had 150 dollars to my name when rent was due.
Yeah I'm late on rent and promised my landlord rent by Fruday (I'm on instant pay but it takes like 2 business days to reach my account) so if I don't make 1K by 5PM tomorrow I'm screwed. So I need to work all night ugh ... My fault for slacking.

6 hours is awesome! I don't think I've ever had a shift that long...I need a few mega shifts to get enough cash to pay for some upcoming travel. I've been working harder on promoting my C4S too, and I'll be logging in to SM for the first time since...October, I think. Gotta diversify a bit, I want to take camming more seriously because it would be nice to be able to switch over to camming as my main source of income, but I will need to be more businesslike and focused to get to that point.

Yes! I only use organic, virgin coconut oil for lube, and it's the best. My glass toys never leave me sore, either. C.O. is a girl's best friend. And it's great in lieu of body lotion, too :)
Maybe you were kidding about the neosporin, but if not, seems like antibiotics in your vagina could kill off all the good bacteria and trigger yeast infections.
I find using organic coconut oil for lube and glass toys lets me cam all day or night with no irritation or soreness.

I wish I was kidding, actually just got done with an application. I don't have any glass toys ATM, but they're on my shopping list. I have a bad habit of using real lube instead of coconut oil, but I'm picking up some coconut oil today. Thanks for the suggestions, I'm planning at least one super long-as in eight hours lol-shift this week, so I'll hopefully report back with good news.

Must get really busy this week. Ugghh... I worked vanilla Monday which means I have to get up early and work 9 hours plus 3 hours of driving involved. :( so minimal camming on Sunday/Monday. Housework/yardwork/home repair people are killing me too this week. Don't see a big check for me. Trying to work on clips/ mpp (pocket change), and getting MGF pics/videos up and ready to go... plus some "outside" appts for next week that will be $$. I need a Sugardaddy for sure..

I've not streamed at all this week, so I'm gonna spend a couple of hours online tonight and a marathon tomorrow. Will be aiming for 6 hours minimum. Since it's Friday the 13th I'm gonna work a luck/casino angle,play some card and dice games in free chat for tips, it'll keep ME entertained at the very least!

I'm starting a camathon today, through Saturday. My last couple of weeks with long hrs., burnt me out, so I haven't been on a lot this week because of it. time to 'pay the piper', and get those hrs in!!
sammii
06-12-2014, 07:08 AM
I've been camathoning since last night. I'm trying for 10-12 hours. I finally have all my late bills paid except for a $-$135 at Chase Bank ... Well and about $3500 in debt lol, but I pay it all monthly so the only thing I'm trying to pay off this week is my Chase overdraft and my credit card which only has like $200 on it. The rest of my debt is medical and dental, ugh.

^ Sammi, that might seem super-creepy and I think I've already told this to you in the past in a PM, but even though I'm on a different site than SM these days, I still spy on girls sometimes and you are freakin' GORGEOUS. Plus, your eye makeup always looks so great. What do you use?

Awwwww. Thank you Nina!! Not creepy at all ... the compliment totally made my morning!! :)
My eye makeup is really easy. Occasionally I wear gold or champagne eyeshadow. But 90% of the time, I wear black pencil eyeliner on my top and bottom lashline. Then I put white eyeshadow in the inner corner of my eyes. Then I curl my eyelashes and put on a bunch of mascara because I love mascara, lol. It's simple but that's what I do. :)

I can't.... The requests are there, yet when I say yes,,, they log out. Finally I kicked someone for typing and not going prvt., and not only did he come back to say he wouldn't spend $$ on me ,but he sent me a message saying how rude I was.
Then, came back on,, and said-"well, ru going to be nice now?"
OMFG!!! Do they have any idea how many rude people I have to deal with every time I get online?
And now I'm the one being rude! I don't think so freeloaders!
Daytime guys are toooooo much work to try and please.
Going to do voyeur until the soccer game is over. My night time guys are why I don't quit camming altogether.
If I had to work daytime everyday, I would have quit camming a long time ago.

I do marathon shifts everyday, well, atleast 5 out of 6 days a week, I used to do them 7 days a week but now I'm like, nah... 50-60 hours a week is good enough for me! haha. I like them when they are busy, but when they are busy then they sloooowww down for a few hours you sit there and wonder, 'what happened?' and its a struggle to stay on esp if you made close to or over your goal during the busy time. I just got back after my one night off so I got 5 more to go (last night started really busy then just died early am.. pfft) before another day off! :-\

A "marathon" shift to me is like six hours. When the money's flowing, the time goes quickly. When it ain't...ugh. I do sexting on other sites at the same time, update blogs, NF calls, browse here. I also rely on TONS of beverages, trips to the bathroom where I stop to pet my dog or cat, and snacks. I drink soup on cam all the time, they don't know.

Gonna try a long night tonight starting at around midnight my time. I had an awful week on cam this week, so I'm unlikely to make my pay period goal, but I'd at least like to get closer! It's been a damned hard hustle lately, I hope this isn't what the whole summer will be like! Maybe it's time to get more creative with my countdowns and games...I'm running a world cup sweepstakes right now, but it isn't sold out yet...damn.

Daytime guys are toooooo much work to try and please.
I always read in here stuff about how daytime guys are worse than nighttime, and I'm curious if there's any specific reason for that? I only do daytime because I'm never alone at home during the evening/night, but I'm curious to see if I cam at night there'd be any change in the atmosphere and clientele. Just afraid to do so, cause it means I'll either have to be super quiet or not use audio at all, and that's totally out of my comfort zone (no Hitachi, no dominating...).
Glamourmilf
06-13-2014, 05:33 AM
^^ I would really like to know the reason for that as well.
If you find out, please share.
Par usual, as soon as night time came yesterday, I was able to raise my rates, and get back-to-back privates. Even my daytime custies came in and were suddenly polite, and sweet as pie.
The games being on didn't even affect me.
I'll take it!

Ok. I'm on since about 10 this morn, it's now 3pm..looong time for me. Getting so tired, & I just ate a mini cherry pie. I want to go out & sun myself a bit too. We'll see....
ETA: I took like an hr. nap, did a few errands, had a slice w/sausage, & now I'm back on 9:30-ish..

I abandoned ship on my planned 8 hours and just did 5. It was a damned hard hustle to make money, and although I did pretty well it was hard fucking work. I think that is the biggest factor in how long I stay on...how hard I have to work to make my target. If every token is pulling teeth, even when I make my goal it is totally exhausting.
Glamourmilf
06-14-2014, 06:13 AM
Going on today until cut-off.:crossfing
Going to try to do 10 hours today.
Also on daytime versus nighttime. I do NOT like night guys at all. I prefer day camming, so much, Most of my day guys are from the UK , Netherlands, and Australia. They don't waste much time talking they just go private. I do have a few US day guys. I always have my most profitable shifts in the morning. The night guys talk to much for me and tend to be freeloaders. I try to be off cam by 8pm at the latest. Niteflirt being the exception to this. This may have to do with the site itself most ladies here cam on SM and that isn't my main site.
Glamourmilf
06-15-2014, 05:57 AM
I did it! 9 hours total, with just a mini break to eat!
long shifts would work if I could make in 3 days, what I need to make for the week.:-\
