You can hoe with earphones, sis? I couldn't do it. I need complete silence when I hoe.
I prefer silence but with the neighbor constantly blaring his TV, I would rather listen to something I choose and try to drown him out.

I couldn't handle complete silence!;D So play music. The only thing I dislike about earbuds is the fact they need to be put right into an ear. eww hahaha

I have been having zero motivation this week. Because my first two day attempts were so shitty I committed to night shifts but as usual, once the sun goes down it is nearly impossible for me to get my ass on cam. The last 2 nights I only did two hour shifts because I logged on too late and tonight because I didn't get on till like 9:30pm and the first ten minutes were slow I just bounced. I can only seem to work at night if I logged on before the sun sets and then stay on. Tomorrow I AM doing 4 hours and I plan to start during the day.

I'm the same with struggling to get online for nights! My current solution is to log on about 30 mins before sunset, once the sub is down I find it so hard to motivate myself + get tired so easily

I definitely feel what both of you are saying Genoveve and roseforarose. It's been hard for me to stay on but I have been trying to do my best. I just came back after a long hiatus so my body is adjusting and the traffic has just been -wow- type of slow for me so far! I have one main site that most of my regs were on, but apparently that site is going downhill :O. Been averaging about 4 hours/day. I believe that persistence will be rewarded, so I'm just trying to keep that in the forefront of my mind as well as getting out of my comfort zone and trying out some new sites.
Congrats on the early start today roseforarose, you can do it!!
Aiming for 6-8 today, wish me luck!:D

I'm afraid with music I won't be able to hear gold, exclusive alert etc. I need completely silence when I sleep so I wear earplugs.

I wear bluetooth earbuds and hear everything so clear even when my volume is down low. But I used to have to volume way up on my laptop and music very low. I could always hear the notifications.

I've been on for almost an hour and 40 minutes. It's finally a busy dayshift but I cannot get it together; I have no energy and am just not 'on.' When I hit the halfway point I am going to make myself a coffee. Nvm I am going to make it now at the 1 hour and 44 minute mark.

Doing the same - music a bit low, notifications up! The rhythm is just like a heartbeat, without it I feel the reality starts to melt into some weird mass and I become anxious ;D

It's the worst for me, too. I have no idea how to cheer myself up sometimes. Coffee helps sometimes, but if i drink too much it s no good for my body:(

hmm was just on for 41 mins, the first 30mins were not bad. traffic was decent and made almost low goal, but then all of a sudden the traffic died. like to nothing. i checked guest & member and i’m first/second row on both?
there was a period where i couldn’t log in for 5 minutes, just kept spinning and spinning. anyone else? makes me wonder if the second exclusive i had was dropped or the guy was just too cheap. either way mehhhh. taking a lunch break.
update: well i stfo 4 hours and it was so worth it! taking a break and going back later during my normal hours

Yesterday was slower than slow but I took too much time off and needed to STFO. Glad I did, worked 10 hours and ended with $650. Not a bad day considering how painful it was to watch an empty room. High rates definitely help!

ain't that the truth. and although it can be supremely dull sometimes, i just remind myself all i need is 17 mins in paid for at least a three figure hourly, minus tips. so i can sit there like a braindead zombie the rest of the time if i must and i'm fine with it. pay me to come alive bitches! ;D

Okay I'm doing this today! I gave up too early yesterday so only got 60% of my daily goal.
I'm gunna do 2 hours, take a break, then do another 3. My mental health is kinda in the bin so I'm a zombie, but I'll try to meditate + destress before getting online

Just chiming, this week i was full of good intentions of working long hours. Err, it's a very slow week, deadzone. Since Wesdnesday evening (UK time) there are issues affecting non US models on Streamate (US models, are you feeling is ok online traffic wise?) and apparently is not fixed yet even today. I attempted 2 hours today.. topless sitting, first page middle. 0 traffic, nill. Better picks soon and fix their fucking issues, is doing my head in.

what times are you streaming? i’ve always done better in the evenings, daytime is hit or miss for me.
this week i cammed sunday, monday, and wednesday night. i was able to hit high goal all three nights although both sunday & wednesday started out VERY slow for me and then picked up. sunday especially was painfully slow in the beginning, my first attempt was in the afternoon. when i returned later in the evening it was sooo worth it. tuesday was the opposite where things started off with a bang, died down to nothing, then picked back. up. but i really feel you! traffic on sm is always irritating for sure, really comes in waves so it's different every minute, every hour.

Well, no potentials, no traffic, checking myself and I was pixelating every movement. Tried external encoder, vpn, on splitcam in cloud streaming and was the same and then I asked if they have issues with the servers and been told yes. USA based weren't affected.

^i'm USA and also often experience completely dead periods with no traffic that make me feel like i am in a lifeless black hole
like every single shift this week there has been many zero traffic/zero potentials periods. sometimes it'll say 00 potentials and takes a while to update. i tend to take a lot of mini breaks or refresh a lot (when it's dead) and i think that helps resurrect my dead ass stream.

I didn't do this, I did like maybe 30 min and it was too slow and I was too excited about the music so I left. Tonight's STFO goal is 3 hours.

^^^Well so much for that. Deadest night shift in a while. My potentials were in the teens and early twenties for my whole hour online, which is very low for me. I saw no regulars, only did a few pvts but thankfully one guy tipped a lot in one. My plan is to do 3 hours every day next week. Tomorrow I want to try logging on early just because I haven't done an early Saturday in a long time, and if it's dead I'll finish the rest at night.

I got up later than I wanted because my Internet was in maintenance by ISP and then I decided to doll up so I got on at 4am EST. Fuck, did 245$ in one hour from tips. Those money are soooo welcome! I will stay on till 8 am pst with breaks in between. Is soothing my soul seeing money...
Update=I am out, slowed way down. I am moving my lazy ass only at night USA time. Almost 300$. I don't fancy sitting way more hours with this deadness. Good luck girls xx

I'm back online today for the first time in nearly 2 weeks. I was off sick all last week, then my period was a week late and finally came as soon as I started to feel better. Nightmare! I have another week off (planned) later this month too, not ideal!
Gonna do my best to smash out some long days over the next 10 days, no matter how dead it is. 3hrs in so far today!

Didn't log on early, and don't want to log on now. I think I need to switch back to day shifts because it's nearly impossible for me to get on at night.

^^^15 min left to hit 3 hours. I can't believe I did it. I was so not in the mood to log on that I told myself I just had to do an hour, then when I ended up at like an hour and 15 min I decided to go for a 90 min total and then it got busy so here I am. I was so done at the hour and 15 minute mark and ready to bounce though because it wasn't very busy and I was getting the rudest, cheapest guys.

8hrs in, gotta stfo for 2 more hrs today. Same drill tomorrow. I've already exceeded my goal for the week, but refuse to let that be a crutch to chill on the couch with my dogs whilst watching anime all day. If I've learned anything from doing this, it's when you have a few good days in a row, keep pushing and finish your planned work week strong. You will appreciate your days off so so much more and also probably end up with more $!

I am FINALLY back on my early morning schedule. I had covid in July, and it really fucked up my sleep schedule. I woke up before 4am today, yay! My ideal shift is always 4a-noon on Streamate. I seem to get a lot of worthy but random traffic from 4-8 am EST. It's 5:50 am where I am right now, and I am planning on streaming until 11:50 a.m. Six more hours to go, two in! I am at $95 so far. Let's hope it'll be a $500 day!
