Last week was tough because of the contest and I thought this week was going to be better. Until now it's really slow, I feel like as if it was still a contest week :D I have to stick out almost 3 more hours today to hit 6, I really hope I can reach at least my low goal in these hours.
Update:
I did 5,5 hours overall on SM, and apart of 1 excl it was terrible, peanuts. That guy saved my day, I ended up with $75. I had 2 nice shows on Skyprivate, and overall I made $143, so i'm pleased. it was just dull sitting in the deadness & dealing with the time wasters.

Have had an extremely shitty past four days on cam. Totally unexpected after a decent contest week. Going to stfo tomorrow night and possibly pull an all nighter Thursday since I can only work when my kid is asleep.

Well, this staying the fuck on is not paying off this past week. Just having a terrible time. Going to try for two more hours on here but it’s really awful for me right now.

^^ You're not alone, I have been STFO-ing for almost 200 hours and it didn't pay off as I wanted. I still made a decent ish amount, but it's been pulling teeth. I didn't reach my low goal, it's been bad.
But hey, after low times, good times will come. Those are the camming cycles, we take what we can, little as it is and hope for the better. It can't go bad the whole year, so... we hang in here!

I don't know what's up lately but there is nobody in my room for hours. This has been going on for over a month. I'm not even making half of my low goal.

Yeah, I remember tax time being pretty bad in previous years. Thank you for the pep talk. It does always get better.

I haven't even been paying attention to ratings. Three new 5 stars this week :). I think I just need to switch my hours up a little. It's like I turn into a pumpkin at midnight. lol

Sucks to have been sick all week. I'm pushing myself to make up my hours in 3 days/6 shifts. So far, so good. It's been slow today, but I'm not doing bad considering the lack of traffic.
3 hours down, 17 to go!

Next week I aim for 20 hours again.
Okay not going to happen. I took Sunday off on purpose, then Monday was when I got derailed by having to do the new address verification and I had only worked an hour, then both Tuesday and yesterday for some reason I was exhausted after doing my errands and didn't stream at all. So now I have no hours goal and just want to make sure my paycheck is over a grand. Only doing a couple hours today because I want to get in a good workout tonight.

Came back for reg and ended up doing a total of 4 hours and 3 min and thanks to the reg I hit $506. I don't think I'm going to come online at night for my reg anymore though, I hate having something that I have to do that late in the day(usually around 10pm) because until it's done I can't relax. Feels like a chore.
3 hour goal today.

I really just logged on for 10 minutes because last night I couldn’t make the last dollar of my goal in the last 20 minutes I was on. Like not a dime, went to sleep so pissed. I made more then the dollar this afternoon but didn’t want to work any longer this “week” regardless. I have a whole shift tonight.
Did almost 28 hours this week and it was mostly get the fuck BACK on to end the week. Even though I only worked around 5 hours each day instead of 6-8 I intended, I hit my goals and my hourly was better then last week.
I’m getting smashed with this bitrate/image quality issue. Seems to mostly hit the first 20 minutes I’m on. 9/10 times there is no problem with my feed, confirmed by myself and clients. Last night it stuck around for almost an hour while I was in non stop shows. If it does it again tonight I’m gonna take screenshots and I guess actually deal with support.
ok now i know where come to check how is going. bc SM is soooo no comment. atm.... really driving me crazyy guyyysss! hopefully better soon! tho! meanwhile i m going to add more platform to work from! xx

today was good and back to my usual daily goals. went to the gym happy anyway after the bad day... fuck them LOL enjoy life!!! be positive!anyway friday was my rest day and now i remember bc i choose this day.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves.
I'm 2 hours into my 3 hours; the first 90 min were consistent then it died. My goal for the week was just to hit 1k and I am at $1016 so if it stays super dead I guess I can just leave.

3 hour goal today.
2 hours and 50 minutes, close enough. $1097 for the week, did 10.5 hours and definitely want to do at least 15 every week. Next week I aim for 20 again.

STFO for an hour. Sundays are my least favorite day on SM and I usually take them off but since I can't workout today I figured I'd hop on just so I can feel productive in some way. :grumpy:
ETA Well I did it. And it sucked. Never forcing myself to do a Sunday ever again; $68 in an hour and 95% of it I made in the first 30 minutes.

Last week was cake: $888 in 13 hrs.
I didn't stream yesterday so today is my first day of the week and it's been total utter shit: 6 hrs $128. I'm ready to GTFO in 30 min. FUCK THIS!!!
uuhmm sunday was very good, tday dead boring everywhere...SM SC more i did not stream in the afternoon same issue w my cam but i starting to believe is streamate the issue. tomorrw new pc and i am going to see if so. arrived my hp today and it did not work from amazon omg waste of time i ll get refund however... so tomorrow to the shop for a gaming desktop and i ll stream on 4 websites (not portable anymore)... and one pc just for SM bc it make my cam crushing????

I'm on now, 2-3 hour goal. Dead so far I've made like $6 in 15 min. I'm starting to think; since my weekly goal is usually 20 hours and since I seem to do better $$$-wise later in the week if I should just set a schedule of Wed-Sat. Like Wed 6 hours, Thurs 4, Fri 6, Sat 4. Two 6 hour shifts is a lot but if I have 3 days off I feel like it wouldn't feel like a lot.
ETA I did 3 hours, $264 which is more than I thought I was gonna make because for the first 40 minutes I only had 6 minutes in paid chat. So now I have to do 4 more four hour shifts to hit 20 hours for the week.

I'm working consistently now and making good money, but would like to work more hours. After 4 hours I take a lunch break but I am so physically and emotionally tired at that point it feels impossible to log back in. Wondering if I should take a longer break to regroup or a much shorter break of just eating in the office so I hopefully don't lose momentum? Going to try both of these out over the weekend to see what works best.
Genoveve
04-05-2022, 10:21 AM
^^^If I take a break that is longer than a few minutes I usually lose all momentum. I always try to keep protein shakes in the fridge so if I get hungry I can run and down one real quick instead of taking a longer break to eat food.
Ora lavoro costantemente e guadagno bene, ma vorrei lavorare più ore. Dopo 4 ore faccio una pausa pranzo ma sono così stanco fisicamente ed emotivamente a quel punto che sembra impossibile accedere nuovamente. Mi chiedo se dovrei fare una pausa più lunga per riorganizzarsi o una pausa molto più breve semplicemente mangiando in ufficio, quindi ho speriamo di non perdere slancio? Proverò entrambi durante il fine settimana per vedere cosa funziona meglio.
i would suggest a little workout to switch off, take a shower, go for a walk, change the room place where you work etccc helps! i do 4hrs shift 2or 3hr break and then back!

uhmmm look like this in my room no money and well even on SC, now i am working on other site however not built yes clients. hopefully my pc is now arrived and i am ready to split. seems dead everywhere tho! ahah slept 4 hrs so maybe having a slow chill day is okayyyyyy. omg great for you 264 look like even 1$ for me...

On now and only trying to STFO for an hour so I feel like I did something. Just not in the mood plus it is dead AF.
ETA okay this is the deadest day I have seen in a long time. Left at the 45 minute mark and only had 10 minutes in paid from two short exclusives with the last one ending like 20 minutes before I logged off; $27. Might take tomorrow off because I have to go shopping for supplies to build 2 end tables and lord knows I can never seem to make myself log on after running errands.

Oh man. Tonight’s shift was a hard one to STFO. The very first show of the night started with an embarrassing period surprise and I was ready to just log off right then and there and be done. But I have a goal this week I really want to hit so adjusted my approach for tonight and got back on. I figured STFO and making anything at all will be better than giving up and making nothing. Ended up hitting my high goal and without any penetration. Thanking the universe I already had planned to take tomorrow off.

Planned to log off at two hours on cam, decided to stick it out another thirty minute, and along came a customer who took me to an hour and thirty minute exclusive. I’d made almost $50 and was having a slow night, but ended up with $310.
hopefully with splitting i had a good day yday! anyway SM seems slow day by day rn! so weird! i should change flag maybe. i need to try that!

STFO for 5-6 hours today! 1 hour down and at $46, traffic has completely slowed down to nothing though.
My SM goal today is $250, and if I do a token site too my goal there will just be $50

Bruuuhhh why allergies and migraines have to be effing with my stfo flow. Grabbing meds and a snack then back on. I haven’t been posting much, but I’ve been slowly upping my stfo hours on my best days. Still trying to not burn myself out, but work 20-30 hrs a week.

I knew I wasn't going to hit 20 hours for the week so my new goal was 15 which means I have to do 4.5 hours today and 4 tomorrow but idk if I am going to make it because it is dead AF rn. In 21 minutes I have done a 3 min exclu and that's it, very low traffic, very low potentials. Yesterday I made $241 in 90 minutes, I should have stayed on more but I was not in the mood at all.
ETA got to like 33 min and still had only did that 1 exclu. Hoping tonight it's busier.

Just hit 4 hours and $250, I took a super long break after the 60 mins mark. To stay another hour or to be happy I hit high-goal and just leave? I'm tired but am having to skip my usual cam session tomorrow so hmm ��

I got bored and logged back on earlier than intended, I did 2 hours so tomorrow I would only have to do 6 to hit 15, although I really doubt that that will happen. I wish I could just do 2 more now so I'd only have a doable 4 for tomorrow but I am hungry and Wendy's is calling my name. I made $264 in those two hours which is way better than my earlier $11 in 30 min.

I need $30 and then I can log off. Come on SM! It's almost 4am and even though I'm not tired, I'm gonna be paying for this in the morning. Overall, I put in good hours this week and did pretty well. A little behind on my goal but I did skip 2 shifts, so it's ok. I'll do better next week!

I worked two days so far- Sunday was alright traffic wise, Tuesday I made $5.93 on SM.
I am logging on this morning. Just looked on twitter and I may know why some of us are having issues.

Ahhhhhhh SM just disconnected me during an exclusive with my best reg. It's been a few minutes and he's still not back... god dangit that's at least $50 down the drain

streamate's been slow AF this week huh. bitrate always in red, dead traffic, offline glitch still. my placement is really good again but it's never mattered. it's so hard to concentrate on cam when my personal life has been a literal never ending psychological horror movie. when i don't think it could possibly get worse, it does. :') March was the best fiscal month of 2022 so far, but also the worst month of my adult life. working is a distraction but this week it's so slow on SM. at least i had a kick ass thursday LF session that is carrying the weight big time. gonna try to STFO maybe 3 hours total today if possible so i can finish the week strong
