It doesn't make sense on my end. I try to think perhaps it's a bad connection or these members are just bored. If I assumed everyone has a great connection and manners I'd go fuckin crazy. Distancing myself from that type of BS keeps me on...when I've slept well, eaten good, and have meditated.

I once streamed 7 hrs for $0.35 IDK how TF I STFO. I really don't. Deal with enough BS and you just wanna take people out lololll.

That's what I think is going on today. I streamed for a couple of hours this morning and had some members keep logging in and out of my room. Had one exclusive show get cut short due to "reason unknown."

I asked members if they were having problems connection issues, and they confirmed it. I think the connection issues are some members ends- not everyone.

This is not what I was hoping for, BUT I'm gonna be grateful anyway. I sat for almost 4 hrs and less than $60. At that point I had meditated and eaten. After a lot of bullshit I took a long break to eat carbs and have kava tea.

I got back on and in two hours made some decent money. STFO almost 6 hrs and the good thing is one of the two bills I need to pay is now covered.

Thank fuck for a level 3 who did a $77 show in EXCL. OMG, bless that man!!!

I can’t even make $100. It’s a slow torture. And a root canal would have been better. My only saving grace is knowing I am not alone. I literally feel I wasted my whole day! I want to cry and will!
Updated:
Online time: 3 hours 12 minutes. Made just over $100.00
Wanted to stay on longer, but I hated the whole time today.

I want to be kind to myself.

The amount of members blocked was insane. Including one who kept changing his name and typing the “n” word in my chat and said he loves being reported. Some new fetish I guess.
Notes on members allow you too see when they try to return with new name.
I’m not stupid and a good note taker


It's good to take a break when overwhelmed, but I'd consider making $33 an hour a pretty good day. Sometimes I break the day up in two shifts, go do something fun for awhile and get back on later.

Uhhh, back after 3 days of doing completely nothing but bleed and play videogames, lol. I haven't played videogames for 6 months and it was refreshing. I planned to clean the house, the oven, etc. I did NOTHING except taking down the xmas tree, lol.

I was sad to read that this weekend sucked, i was really hoping to see some good news, but Natty is right, it's January, wallets are empty. Last week, if it wasn't my regulars and my long hours, i wouldn't have made shit.

Congratulations @LeilaB for your success!!!! STFO works!!!

As in for me, back on the saddle, 10 hours as usual, for the next 6 days. Gotta get my 60 hr week weehooooo!!!

Edit: First 5 hours made like $30, then had a 2 hours private out of nowhere, then short privates here and there for the next 3 hours, tons of freechat time and complete deadness as usual. But I doubled my goal. Back at it tomorow.

I was so fn sick last week and wasn’t able to cam. I still feel weak and have a cough, but my bills don’t care. DayQuil is definitely my new best friend. Goal this week is $1,500. That’s only $300 a day for 5 days. Ez-Pz. I’m STFO everyday until I meet my daily goal.

I'm online 2hrs in and it's worse than yesterday if that's possible because not only do I have the 1 gold tippers they tip and then insult me, everyone else joins in, I block everyone and then wait for the room to fill up with the next bunch of cunts.

I've blocked 200 people in 2hrs and I wish that was an exaggeration! >:(

Sorry to hear things were slow girls. Yesterday was slow for a Sunday but still decent, ended on like a dollar and a bit below mid goal as had to go to a Birthday do but completed my 4 hours (did 4 hours 15).

Despite one bad show with a ridiculous prick today have been fairly happy. Had a show with a lovely regular and have almost made it to mid goal in 3 hours. So will break, have some food (though I've overeaten today I just really crave some nachos to reward myself for persevering and not letting the prick make me log off or get me down), then hop back on for my fourth hour :).

Good luck everyone with hitting your hour goals! It's alright if breaks are needed as long as we do the hours we wanted to. I've been watching a show and telling myself, if I make anything this hour at all, I'll stay another hour and so on :)

Been on for about four hours and have made $87. I made about $10 an hour yesterday. My normal hourly is considerably higher than this. I’m about to log off soon and I’m still pleased with myself for sticking it out the past two days. It was awful, but maybe I’ve found some future customers. And $87 is better than $0, even if I was hoping for $200.

But, I'm not really sure what it is.
Yet, somehow the freeloaders who blab and blab without spending, can stay connected.:-\

45 minutes not a single show, I am about to cry! I REALLY need to quit camming for good!

Everyone has those days. Maybe have someone you trust do a stream check? How's your internet/cam? Do you have audio. You'll do ok, but if it is murdering you--break time

freyasnecklace
01-10-2022, 04:52 PM
Stream is fine. Lots of traffic, just shit. Now I have 20 potentials, zero regular members. I took a break and same shit. I have decided to quit for good. It’s bad most times!

Camming is bad most times, this is 90% of day to day camming and it's not gonna get any better. Read the posts from 2014, it's same shit for 8 years now and it's normal. If you stay on for an hour and decide to quit, obviously you won't make anything. There are models here who make their goals in 3 hours, yes, but they have been at it for a long time, they have their regs, they have a good position on page, they worked for the "privilege" of quitting after 3-4 hours. Other than that, for the rest of us, camming is 90% waiting trough deadness for good paying clients, because we are hundreds of thousands of models out there. I don't know when you started camming, but I recently got back to it and it took me 4 months to rise back up, putting tons of hours in freechat. Because that's camming... it's a waiting game. But let me tell you, even top models have dead hours in freechat when their regulars aren't around. At least on Jasmin I can see top models stats and some even sit in freechat for 3-4 hours when the regs are not around. This is the camming traffic and it's a normality. We are tons of models out there, there are good paying clients but you get them if you have a fixed schedule and wait. And if it doesn't come today, come back tomorow and do the same. And again and again.
I don't say you should put the hours I do (altough the financial rewards are amazing), but in a 10 hours shift I do sit in freechat even 3-4 hours in a row sometimes, before catching clients. And then waiting again for 2-3 hours in a row and so on.
I can only reccomend you to look at this thread, starting at the end of september 2021 posts. I documented my journey in the waiting game and STFO. Month by month, my earnings increased.
Again, not saying to do what I do if you don't want to, but at least have a fixed schedule and stick to your hours. And don't focus on how dead or slow it is, because that's what camming is about, especially when you are fairly new or never had a stable schedule before. You just do your hours (6,8, 10 etc... your choice), but make it a priority to login and log out at fixed hours and in time, you will make regulars that will save your ass in dead days. And give it time, because it takes time.

And to quote RedCandy: "How do you want to catch the fish, if you take your nets out of the water too soon? Even those fishermen from those tuna tv shows on Discovery, when they go out for catching tuna, they will sit there for weeks, to come back with the big tunas. They don't go back home after 2 hours of no fish" (or something simmilar she said, but it did stick to my brain when I was quitting over and over again).
Good luck!

Today I logged in 30 min earlier than my usual hour, ooohhhhh!!! I didn't procrastinate anymore, just got out of bed before my eyes were closing and jumped in the shower. Not a pleasant experience, but I can tell I don't need coffee right now, lol.
Putting 10 hours as usual.

Edit: 3 hours and $11. Not getting crazy tho, still got 7 hours left, many good stuff can happen!

Edit: 5 hours and at $27. Woaaaaaah. Cringe party woohoooooooo!!! 5 hours left.

Edit: 7 hours, still at $27. I remember that's how I started December tho, the first 4 days I made under $100, each day and still ended the month at $10k. It does pick up eventually, I am not even worried, I am just FUCKING BORED. I did read all the reddit meal prepping thread, all the threads possible, I AM BORED AS FUCK. Ugh, 3 more hours!

Edit: 8.5 hours at $67. My gooooooodddddddd!

Edit: ending the 10 hours at $67. Shit fest!! Oh well, back at it tomorow.

I love the freedom and the money, but it definitely takes work and being able to hang in there during slow times. For me the benefits more than make up for any downsides. Also I have been alternating days camming and clips and phone work so I switch it up a lot and diversify my income sources.

Not everyone will thrive in this job though, just like any other profession. Best wishes in finding something to do that fits you better.

Edit: 3 hours done and I've made $10. LOLOLOLOL
Going to go to the shop and also eat something before doing the fourth hour. Think I'm starting to stare blankly now. LOLOLOL

So glad I went back on for the 4th hour as I made an extra 0 dollars....

Ah well, off to do school run shortly. Back on for two hours later tonight. Fingers crossed!

I feel you, I was in the SAME struggle about 1 year ago when I was new. I don't know for how long you've been working in this industry but if you are new to camming: no one can get away with the hard work. You have to build up a QUALITY clientele, and that takes time. Money doesn't come easily, there's a huge competition, and it's worth STFO in the long run. Being consistent, doing the planned hours even if you don't make much is the key. You can never know when a generous member appears in the shitty crowd.
I've been online for 1 hour and 15 mins and made $7. What do I do now? I have a coffee and come back to finish the 6 hours. And I am 99% sure it will pay off and I make at least the low daily money goal.

Hugs xx

Absolutely the right attitude girl! You should be proud of yourself. We all have those days and sticking it out is all that matters in the long run.

I deffo needed to read this and found it super inspiring Cutie the fact that you can experience the deadness and still end on 10k through consistency is certainly something to aspire to. Today has been pretty slow so far and SM glitched kicking me out mid show, oh well not my fault. I shall persevere, I did manage to get on early and am half way through my minimum hours :).

Oh, absolutely! As time as you focus on your schedule and not on the $$, nothing can go wrong by the end of the month! Don't let one day or one week to put you down, the more you accept that this is camming for everyone, the better will be on long term. It's our 9 to 5. We login, we do what we can, we log out, we don't look back. Start next day fresh :D:D:D after bad days, there are always goods days coming. And when good days come, we must always be prepared for those bad days, as they are inevitable. Sometimes not even regs show up. Oh well, that's not even up to us, we are there regardless!! 8) 8)

Happy 2022 ladies! May this year rock for us all.

First official week back at work, committed to 6hrs today. Just done 2, taking a food break and getting back on. My best advice for slow shift times is get the PC kindle app, get a good book and read. its been super dead for me today, but the time is passing well cos I'm engrossed in the story I am reading. Anything to make the long hours "feel" less long.

Reading your posts here helps. I have been camming for almost 4 years. I do log on about the same time and try to stay on. What makes me want to quit is when the majority that enter the room , say nothing and do nothing. And ignore you when you greet them…then leave.
I have zero control over this. It won’t change no matter what I do.
And when regulars come in say hi…..then proceed to hang out for extended periods of time doing nothing further. Like it’s NOT a a free hang out. Then I get annoyed and boot them.

Don’t see the point of just “hanging out” on SM. Not gonna go into private..then leave.
Not gonna participate in same way in free chat…they go watch porn.

So much I don’t have control over.

Nice members who engage nicely, tip or go private are harder to come by these days.

I agree they do come….sometimes…but I’m not a patient woman.

I went through the same thing when I hit my 4th full time year of camming. Went from making $40-60/hr to $15-20, if I was lucky. It was heartbreaking for me. I remember one night, I'd pulled 10hrs and only made $157 (I remember the number because it hurt so much), I came off cam and cried. I had changed nothing, not my shift times etc, but somehow SM just didn't love me anymore. Things continued to get worse. So I took a break. I worked other cam sites, namely Chaturbate, on the side, and tried to bring what following I had, over there. That however was not feasible, and after two months of being very late on rent, I went back to SM, tail between my legs, figuring that if I had to stay on 10-12hrs a day, I'd still take that $150 daily. Things were as bad as you described here. I couldn't understand it at all.

One day I was watching Youtube and started messing around with my makeup, doing a completely different look. I decided to go on cam with it, because what the hell right, the dudes didn't seem to like me no matter what I did, so I had nothing to lose by going online with an elaborate look. Sitting there, I saw myself and realized it was the most effort I'd put into my look in MONTHS. I made a solid $25/hr that day, more than I had in a while. So I kept putting in a lot of effort on makeup. The next thing I realized was that my hair wasn't working for me. I got a wig. Boom, money increased again. Then I started wearing lingerie instead of the tank tops I wore then. Money increased again. Changed my background, same thing.

Since then (that was 2019), every time I feel things drop off, I either tweak my look (makeup is the most affordable way to do this, different looks attract different crowds), or just make sure that I am not slacking on the overall package I am bringing to cam. STFO works, yes, but if you are not working with the right tools, then you can STFO til the cows come home, it won't be enough. It also took me a long time to admit to myself that cam was sucking because I had stopped visually taking care of myself, and was rocking up to what is essentially a model job, looking thrown together.

I know it is super hard to want to put a ton of effort into your cam appearance when nothing is working out how you want it to, but its worth it, you have nothing to lose.

This is all from annecdotal evidence, namely my own experience, but there are a few things you can maybe try, to remedy this.

Also, and this is very important, this post isn't to image shame anyone. There is no standard way to look for cam. Going full glamour helped me specifically, but that's not to say its for everyone, however there is something to be said about looking polished, in whatever style you choose. STFO works, it really does, so much so that its like a magic bullet, but if its suddenly not working, there may be another issue, so just bear that in mind, and sometimes the solution isn't to STFO more, its to simply change a few other things and get back to STFO.

It's 68 degrees inside my house but feels much colder which makes me not wanting to get on. Florida hoes don't like cold.
I have a big hours goal this week of 10 hours. Did almost four yesterday. I still have Wednesday and Friday to do another 6.

Tuesdays always suck for me. I'm not sure why, but Tuesdays have always been slow for me. I just lucked out and got a 22 minute exclusive, so I'm almost at my goal now. I wish it didn't feel like so much work. I genuinely enjoy playing around on cam, but these guys suck all of the fun out of it with their bullshit.

I went through the same thing when I hit my 4th full time year of camming. Went from making $40-60/hr to $15-20, if I was lucky. It was heartbreaking for me. I remember one night, I'd pulled 10hrs and only made $157 (I remember the number because it hurt so much), I came off cam and cried. I had changed nothing, not my shift times etc, but somehow SM just didn't love me anymore. Things continued to get worse. So I took a break. I worked other cam sites, namely Chaturbate, on the side, and tried to bring what following I had, over there. That however was not feasible, and after two months of being very late on rent, I went back to SM, tail between my legs, figuring that if I had to stay on 10-12hrs a day, I'd still take that $150 daily. Things were as bad as you described here. I couldn't understand it at all.

One day I was watching Youtube and started messing around with my makeup, doing a completely different look. I decided to go on cam with it, because what the hell right, the dudes didn't seem to like me no matter what I did, so I had nothing to lose by going online with an elaborate look. Sitting there, I saw myself and realized it was the most effort I'd put into my look in MONTHS. I made a solid $25/hr that day, more than I had in a while. So I kept putting in a lot of effort on makeup. The next thing I realized was that my hair wasn't working for me. I got a wig. Boom, money increased again. Then I started wearing lingerie instead of the tank tops I wore then. Money increased again. Changed my background, same thing.

Since then (that was 2019), every time I feel things drop off, I either tweak my look (makeup is the most affordable way to do this, different looks attract different crowds), or just make sure that I am not slacking on the overall package I am bringing to cam. STFO works, yes, but if you are not working with the right tools, then you can STFO til the cows come home, it won't be enough. It also took me a long time to admit to myself that cam was sucking because I had stopped visually taking care of myself, and was rocking up to what is essentially a model job, looking thrown together.

I know it is super hard to want to put a ton of effort into your cam appearance when nothing is working out how you want it to, but its worth it, you have nothing to lose.

This is all from annecdotal evidence, namely my own experience, but there are a few things you can maybe try, to remedy this.

This is such an important thing, to change things up if something isn't working.

I did something similar, upgraded everything, better clothes and makeup, then raised my price almost double what I had before. I've found if I charge more I get way better quality customers and longer shows. The higher price helps keep the minute men away too.

Not a regular to be seen today on SM and mostly just people just popping in and out without saying anything, if I'm lucky I get a hello before they bounce. I've also blocked 3 people I believe. Why is it like this?? *tears hair out" Hour and a half to go. *crosses fingers*

I think members are having trouble connecting to the site today. I had that issue A LOT on SM today.

I cleared my history, changed browsers and nada. Had it a bit yesterday too, but I managed to make it to low goal. I am praying the site is working back to normal tomorrow :)

Let it me know that I sat for 45 minutes with NOT A SINGLE PERSON entering my room! SM HATES me and I hate SM! I was live online and good placement. I went from making $2000 per week, to some weeks not even $1000.

I said I was gonna quit, now I am!

I can make more doing just about anything else! Sad but true.

To have no one even enter for that long with good placement is insane,

Placement doesn’t mean anything!

I quit ! Didn’t want to, but what choice is there. Makes no sense to STFO when it’s always bad!

My downward trend has been similar. I think its slowed down since the Credit card stuff happened. It sucks. But I think the money is still there its been a bad couple of crappy weeks. Customers and regs dont have cash after christmas. Im gonna stick it out. I wish you luck.

It’s not just that. It’s the MAJORITY away nothing. They enter a million times and do NOTHING. That frustrates me more! Regulars do it, new members do it! It’s NOT fun to have zero engagement. What’s the point of being online for the model and member without engagement! In my opinion NONE!

And often it’s the same users names you see repeatedly do this, and then all you do is block!

Anyway, I put in 7 hours today, barely made $100. And sat in silence and boredom 99% of the time

I don’t blame you, if that’s the case. You’ve been pissed for a while and everyone deserves balance. You could try other sites or set this aside for now. Your well being is important.
