After 2 hours I have 0$. Pff this isnt the best start for the new month. I wanna do at least 3 more hours, and reach at least 30$. I have very low traffic, and barely anyone says a hello :D Hopefully some normal guy find me and save the day.

Update:
More than 3 hours and still nothing. In the past 30 mins no one entered my room, WTF is this today :@ :( I started on 3th page today, now Im on 5th, pff

Does anyone here suffer from epilepsy and cam? I really struggle staying on longer than 6-8 hours without getting brain ache. Really want to do long stretches, anyone have any tips on dealing with it?

I dont but I have a few friends with it. They dont cam but they said changing to keto diet and using CBD helped them.Knowing their triggers helped.

You might want to change your monitor and lighting or the settings on it. Do you use dark mode? Look at your background/your room and see if there is anything there that could be contributing to your aches since we look at ourselves all day long there might be something in your stream aggravating the brain as well. Reading the chat is already strenuous as it is, try changing the colors?

On this same topic do any of you ladies have finger/wrist/hand pain? My hands ache from typing so much and editing videos. Ive changed my mouse and it has helped but I still get stiffness to where I cant move my hands/fingers 1 day a week I have to take off to recover my hands.

I think it's just the end of the month/ pre holiday slowdown right now. I'm sure it'll pick back up over the holiday.

I don't have epilepsy, it's a struggle for me to cam more than 2-3 hours in one sitting. My body needs to move and stretch and my eyes need a break from the lights and monitors. I usually do split shifts, twice a day. On rare occassion I can stream 4- 5 hours - but my body and mind are toast the next day.

I do experience pain in my hands/wrists when I am doing alot of vanilla shows. One thing I was thinking about looking into is those parrafin wax dips to soothe my wrists and hands. One of my first jobs when I was 16 was working in a chicken plant- the nurses station had the wax dips and it felt so soothing.

I know they make ergonomic pads for keyboards and mice. Also doing some wrist exercises before you start the day might be helpful.

Gotta STFO today from 10am-6pm CST. I'll take a meditation break at 12pm when it usually gets dead AF. Yesterday I did 7 hrs 43 min and exceeded med goal on SM. Hopefully today I can do the same. Ideally I'd like high goal, but fuck...it's a Thursday and they usually aren't busy.

Gonna try to keep a positive frame of mind and be calm. I did it yesterday and I think I can do it today.

Let's GOOOOO!!!

UPDATE:

1.5 hrs and was ready to log off and say fuck it then meditate when all of the sudden a new member went pvt. He wanted a bj story while I posed non-nude. He was super polite and made small talk for the first 2 min. It was fun to talk about my BF and it totally got me off plus he was tipping 5 GOLD.

$48 for 1.5 hrs and I'm happy about that.

UPDATE:

2 hrs and $87. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but it will have to do. I have no expectations today. Just gonna do the hours in a good mood.

It's very quiet tho. Didn't get those 2 shows til almost 1.5 hrs in. It was dead in my room for over an hour. I had to restart stream and clear browsing history it was so dead.

thank you! I’ll check out CBD, diets not an issue, I’ve been epileptic since I was 5 and I manage it without drugs, changing my lifestyle accordingly. However mine is not really severe, I’m very lucky. I’ve tried changing lights doesn’t help.
the amount of sleep I need is very annoying!

when I worked as a writer I experienced severe wrist pain from typing. One of those keyboard wedge things really helped, you can also buy wrist supports that wrap around but prob won’t look great on cam x

I have that problem too I have to take lots of short breaks for a snack or walk around/sit down/get fresh air. I've had to train myself to stop dancing and bouncing around so much for free or I wouldn't be able to do 10 hrs days at all.

That's really good !! Do you think its your sleep like you arent getting enouogh ?

I might need to invest in more ergonomic stuff


When I had a mouse - heavy job I trained myself to use the other hand BUT it was slow!

Yes I've trained myself to do that but then I just get the problem in both hands LOL! It is some kind of overuse problem because once I take a day off of resting they go back to normal again

Im stuck at $40 today. The 1st is usually not great for me so Im ok with it

After 2 hrs I meditated then fell asleep for 1.5 hrs lololll. Damn, that nap was nice. I'm back til 6pm. These are the dead hours for me. If I get lucky I'll get a reg or two but I usually just sit and wait forever.

13 min so far and just one freeloader and one in then right out. FUCK, soooo slow. Ah well, I'll just chill.

UPDATE:

3 hrs now and $89. Yeah, it's really slow. Nothing for an hour but $2 from GOLD. The total bummer is the tips were from a level 2 who tipped then left. No show. Damn!

Well, spoke too soon. Got an EXCL and have exceeded low goal. $115 phew! Too bad he hit his limit.

UPDATE:

4 hrs and $158. Damn, thank god for foot guys. All but one show were foot fetish. And that last show was a foot JOI where he tipped 25 GOLD for me to squirt and rub it on my toes lololll. He came real fast.

UPDATE:

OMFG thank you Universe. Today started off rough, but it's almost 5 hrs on today and I've exceeded high goal: $214

I'm just so glad I can STFO now. I went through a phase where I just hated sitting. I'll def hit my weekly goal this way and I needed to in a bad way. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I made this deal with myself to not get upset anymore and just do the hours. Yesterday almost 8 hrs and calm. Today almost 6 hrs and calm. It does take a lot of effort not to get irritated as it's so slow. Yeah, I have had a lot of patience, but I have to sit as I totally fucked off for contest and only made like $300. This week I have to sit and hit weekly goal or I'm in big trouble.

I didn't get the stimulus that everyone else in US got. I filed and I'm finally getting the $600 but I'm not even getting the $1400.

I had to use a lot of savings recently and now I have car repairs for $400. If I don't sit and suck it up I can't pay rent or bills.

Yeah, this shit is hard. And sometimes I go 15 min without anyone in and I'm like WTF?!?!

I feel you and understood you. I will do my ahift this night I bailed out last night, did watch telly till 4 am and then i slept till late ha, but went out with bf, relaxed with him and I will try to squeeze money. Money wise, am in deep shit, i really need SM to pick up . The traffic is very strange, really. At one point i had lines at potentials for 5 minutes. Anyway, we will do our goals babe!

FINAL UPDATE:

6 hrs and $259. I'm totally floored...like totally. At 1.5 hrs I was ready to just quit for the day then got a show which made me rethink staying on. Thank fuck for staying on despite how slow it was.

I needed this high+ goal day in a bad way. It pays to STFO sometimes even on a day that is notoriously slow and bad for you.

STFO ladies...these men are out there who want you. FUCK...they want YOU!!!

I usually do split shifts, twice a day. On rare occassion I can stream 4- 5 hours - but my body and mind are toast the next day.

I feel this. I am often hard on myself for not being able to do long hours like I see many girls doing here. I honestly take my hat off to all of you who can do 6+ hours daily, but for me that rhythm is plain impossible to mantain. Last week I did my best to STFO for 25 hours to get my SM bonus, and I did, but the two days after I was EXHAUSTED and this week I've been way more sporadic with my camming.

It doesn't help that I'm not medicated for my ADHD at the moment, that I'm studying and working at the same time and that since the pandemic started I feel I have less energy than ever. I just try to be happy with knowing that I'm doing my best, but sometimes I just feel bad.

It upsets me especially because when I look at my averages, I realise that every year that passes I make more and more per hour, and that if I could consistently work at least 25h I would be rolling in it (relatively speaking). I would at least love to do 20 every week minimum. Can't wait to get a new psych assessment and meds and for all this pandemic thing to pass so I can focus on camming more and better, but in the meantime sometimes it's hard not to feel shit about myself.

I think other people (and often camgirls too) underestimate how demanding this job can be. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike camming, but it's not easy and it's exhausting. My camming style is very engaging, smiley and "on", so I think that also drains my energy faster, but I don't know how else to cam, to be honest. It's just my personality.

Anyway, sorry for the novel, and good luck to all of you STFO this Easter. I'm doing a few hours today and then I have my best friend (who I've not seen since last September) staying with me for a few days. EXCITED doesn't cover it. Much love <3 xx

When i am online i tease non stop and try to engage with them.


My camming style is very engaging, smiley and "on", so I think that also drains my energy faster, but I don't know how else to cam, to be honest. It's just my personality.

This is why you are exhausted. That used to be my style too when I was part time, bubbly. But to do full time hours and that level of HYPE, the only way to maintain it is heavy drug use like the twitch gamers and youtubers you see who are all UP all the time like that, MANY of them are on adderall or drugs. Nobody is up ALL the time even those of us who are naturally social and friendly.

I had to make BIG changes to my cam style to do over 10 hour days completely sober. I didn't just start 10 hrs 1 day. I worked up. When I 1st started cam I could barely do 1 hour. I'll list some changes I made for those of you who want to work up to it maybe it will help!

Sit down or lay down more. I only stand up for 7 hrs of a day max. My chair was uncomfortable so I got a new 1. It was worth investing in.

Ignore *some* people on purpose. I learned doing it intentionally forces them to tip to get my attention and surprisingly works well. If someone gets offended that I'm busy for 60 seconds they are not the kind of customer I want anyway.

Type less, speak less. If I spoke to everyone my voice would go out. Even saying 'hi' out loud to each person is too much. Between the fake moaning and orgasm screaming you cannot talk to everyone. I make as many copy paste responses as possible for chat. I'm still searching for the balance of speaking and typing.. as I said before my hands can't take 5 days at 10 hrs.

Smile less. Smiling only some of the time. If I smile all day my face muscles will be sore which only makes me cranky for tomorrow.

Close up the cam on different body parts. Change up my position, or keeping my face out of cam altogether lets me relax it for awhile.

Distracting myself when nobody is in the room so I dont notice how dead it is. Staring at an empty room drives me nuts, so I don't. I write video scripts in the meantime, twitter statuses, take pix, record a video, read a book, draw just SOMETHING ELSE.

I often felt like I NEEDED to interact with everyone since anyone could be a spender but you dont NEED to. With everything going mobile these days more users than ever can access us just for something to do/kill time. Not all of them will convert. I needed to save myself from burnout. They dont all deserve your attention just for being in your room.

If you know what triggers you to exhaustion you can start to find ways to work around it you can work up your hours. If every time you get up and dance you dont get taken private or tipped it is potentially wasted energy. So I just tracked what worked best for me and what didnt. Experimented and made notes on everything. I'm sure the models who do 15 hr days have even more better tips than I do that's only what I've learned so far



I made this deal with myself to not get upset anymore and just do the hours.

Yeah, this shit is hard. And sometimes I go 15 min without anyone in and I'm like WTF?!?!

I admire your optimistic attitude <3 AND ON THE 1ST OF THE MONTH TOO YOU KILLED IT !! I have a goal this year to do more time than I did last year and see what happens. You just know it's been 15 mins too on SM cuz we have the setting where after 15 they disappear from the chat list SMH :(


Oh thank you to the lady who advised me about lighting triggering my brain ache / epilepsy, I had turned a ring light off I had pointing straight at me , itÂ’s made a huge difference.

Yes the ringlights really strain me too. So far I've not found 1 that lights my stream nicely that doesn't hurt my eyes. When I dim them to the lowest setting it doesn't affect the look of my cam :( Still looking for better lighting options. Also, do you use a 'blue light filter' setting on your monitor? It's worth a try if you are in a dark room or stream at night.

This is why you are exhausted. That used to be my style too when I was part time, bubbly. But to do full time hours and that level of HYPE, the only way to maintain it is heavy drug use like the twitch gamers and youtubers you see who are all UP all the time like that, MANY of them are on adderall or drugs. Nobody is up ALL the time even those of us who are naturally social and friendly.

I had to make BIG changes to my cam style to do over 10 hour days completely sober. I didn't just start 10 hrs 1 day. I worked up. When I 1st started cam I could barely do 1 hour. I'll list some changes I made for those of you who want to work up to it maybe it will help!

In regard to your style & energy conservation: resounding yes! I cannot do 8-10 "on" the whole time.

I practically lounge the whole time, do not show my eyes, & only smile & talk sultry to those who engage first.

I tried altering my style back to how I used to cam: show more body & face, smile a lot, talk more & I made the same amount but felt totally drained after a couple hours.

In regard to my day yesterday: THANK YOU! I was surprised myself. I am sticking with more optimism & less frustration as I feel much better. I'm going back to my roots. I used to be very positive & I let myself go. It's much healthier to let anger go.

You've got a good plan. You're pretty determined so I see it working out for you.

Thank you for your tips, they are very useful! I always show my face and full body, and smile when someone comes to my room. I great everyone, and ask and type how are they doing. Its very exhausting, and after 4-5 hours I feel really tired. I will change my style because I want to do more hours.
Im just a little bit afraid that potential spenders will leave the room if Im not engaging. Anyways, its worth trying, thank you!

In my experience they will leave your room, but you never know when they will come back and spend, but I actually enjoy that they leave because it means I interact with less people for $1 here and $1 there, instead I'm feeling I'm generally getting better treatment and longer shows with spenders because I'm exerting less effort it feels more like a win for me.



I tried altering my style back to how I used to cam: show more body & face, smile a lot, talk more & I made the same amount but felt totally drained after a couple hours.

Do you regret the change? I used to think like 'oh this isnt how I want to appear on cam, this isnt "me"' but this is what I have to do to pull these kind of hours. Ultimately I dont regret it because I make more money now.

Thank you very much MissAdriana! I will adjust my style deffinitively because I really have wrinkles now from msilling non stop, is an automatism now. I gotta get more hours and exposure and I will have to do as you said, is no other option, thank you very much for sharing all the tips! I got in a break, had one hour block with a regular (got him via referral on my old account_, but the extra money from referral doesn't appear as is new account and maybe, just maybe the support will give me, i will have an answer on Monday. I won't think about that. however, i have 180$, had one hour break, will go again live and breaks ertc, need 5 more hours and i will have 30 hours today. I am gutted that always when I sleep little and am tired then I have traffic, but in the days where i am rested is no traffic, bummer! :)) have a feeling will be traffic this weekend ladies!

Update- i should fo 2 more hours but I'm knackered. Did 2 gold shows and had a generous regular tipping me loads. I got total 330$ (i should get 110$ more from referral if support will grant) so I am super happy! Andni will get a night sleep yay! There are still generous guys!

Thanks for the support everyone! I'm okay, just thinking out loud about the struggles of sex work and self employment when your brain happens to work different than the norm! Hugs <3 x

Sex work is the worst and the best job ever! I’ve been in the sex trade in different ways for twenty years and I find it empowering, liberating and it’s given me so much . I think it all depends on your mind set, your background and your expectations. It’s such a personal thing. For me, I thrive on it, maybe it’s having power over men haha who knows but I wouldn’t want to do anything else. I feel really blessed to be able to do it and have made lots of money over the years. That’s just my two pence. Hope it helps xx

I make a bit more now than the first year I tried being "on" all the time. I tried being "on" for a period of almost 3 weeks & made a little less than I normally do conserving energy & showing only cleavage, mouth, & nose.

I do NOT regret how my style is now or how it has been. I have a lot of energy for the big spenders who usually do shows. I am very animated & sexy in shows. I am very chill in free unless talking which helps me close the sale. I only talk to buyers. I save energy for the buyers.

I do well for myself on just SM alone. I am keeping my style cause I'm not draining myself for free.

To add:

When I split SM & MFC I am "on" the whole time. Last time I did it for 2 whole hours splitting & netted $29! You see? I was tired & disappointed.

I will NOT do that again!

Damn, internet down all day and now I have no motivation to do this night shift. After gym I was just lazy all day waiting for Wifi...fuck!

Plans to STFO from 5pm-10pm CST. Meditated already so I'm gonna try to do it all in one shot. Did just get a foot fetish EXCL so I'm at $37. Not a bad way to start the eve, but I've gotta stay on despite no motivation.

No expectations just hopes. Going to remain in a good mood and try to keep a positive mindset about tonight.

Let's fuckin GOOOOOO!!!

UPDATE:

Well, 1 hr in and still $37 and truly ready to just get the fuck off. Damn, seriously doubting I can do this. It's pretty dead and a couple timewasters have started to bug my good vibe.

Might just go to bed early and stream 10 hrs tomorrow. UGH!!!

UPDATE:

IDK how I'm still here lololll. 2 hrs in and just $68. It feels weird tonight. I got a troll I had to ban and two members are saying they're new and can't do shows. It seems like April fools today. Yesterday was smooth AF. Tonight? IDK the freaks are fucking with me and I don't like it.

I did get a new foot fetish member to do this however, which might be the only reason I'm staying on:

Haha sweet! Yeah, I can tell in just a few exchanges who is going to do a show. I flat out get right to the point so I don't waste my breath. I used to try the chatty Cathy approach, but it just drained the shit out of me and made me resent camming. It didn't necessarily end up in more sales either. Ut uh, not anymore.

I've even seen some Dommes say they won't even talk unless tipped. They'll type haha. I'm not the only Domme who doesn't want to expend energy for free.

I am Domme also and I type more than I talk. I usually only talk when tipped. I need to cut down even on typing and stop responding as much, especially when they ask stuff like "How do I go private?" I think it's pretty obvious!

I have also been camming for a long time and can usually tell who's going to spend but sometimes they surprise me.

It's a constant learning experience.

Well I bailed last night after 2.5 hrs. It was bad for me and my anxiety was high. I slept 9 hrs and feel good. Going for 10 hrs today. Gonna try 8:30am-6:30pm CST. I've got 19.5 hrs logged and wanted 30 hrs this week. Today is my last chance to mke $700 this week. I'm pretty close, so hopefully the guys are generous and I make more.

No expectations, just hopes. Gonna try to remain in good spirits the whole shift.

Let's GOOOOO!!!

UPDATE:

1 hr 15 min and $88 which isn't bad, but I can't seem to get the guys to stay longer than a few minutes. I've had several shows but all minute men. I'm stalling too haha. FUCK!

Lots of feet shows tho. I'm def having fun!

UPDATE:

2 hrs 10 min and $138 which is decent. I have no expectations just hopes to do really well today. Still in a good mood. Going for 8 more hrs. Hopefully a whale spoils me rotten. I think I can do this :D

You can do face exercises for that. Search it on youtube they show you what to do for free. I've only been doing it 3 months and already see a difference. Great job you must be super happy!! I hit 240 yesterday I tried so hard to hit 300 but it didnt happen, oh well. Looking for 120 today to beat last year but I only need 60 to beat the week, we'll see what happens. Happy Easter ladies! :)
