You have a whole month ahead, keep being consistent and you will start seeing an increase!
Thanks! I have a week before I need to leave for maid of honour duties, and then I'll have a week when I get home. Does anyone know if doing two 4h shifts with an hour in between is better than one 8 hour shift? Because I did the 6.5 h straight yesterday and only took two <2 minute breaks for the bathroom. Ended up having lunch on cam too. At the end there I was completely exhausted, and literally logged out because words didn't even make sense anymore.
You have more patience than I do. You can do it!
I hope so! Send help and booze, lol.
Are you super tied to using token sites? Because I feel like you would make a lot more during the new period on streamate.
I'd love to do F4F or SM, or even MFC, but I live in a studio flat, so I have nowhere to put my four cats. I'm tied to sites where it's ok for cats to walk past on cam. There's a kind of sliding "door" for the bed alcove and I tried camming there but apparently that was the worst idea I've ever had in all of history and I was told so by way of the Songs Of Their People. It was an impressive and loud arrangement too. I logged off after 30 minutes, I don't think anyone can get off to that soundtrack.

Okay, okay. I'm here. Got on really late, 2 pm instead of 8 am, due to a morning appointment. Still feel pretty much like garbage, but I'm here and I'm doing topless only today. Better than not logging in at all. Goal is at least 5h. Would do more but I'm still trying to reset my sleep hours so I can start getting up at 4.30 am. Someone pray for me.

Ah fuckit, I couldn't. 6.5h, made $3. Tried for one nine hour shift, and I just can't do it. Maybe tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a new day ! Don't give up you got this !
I'm struggling this week. My arms, wrists and neck, hands and back all hurt, I am close enough on target but not making up for what I wanted last month so far. I am zooming the cam a lot on different viewpoints trying to seem interesting and hide the fact I am so sore. Ignoring people and closing my eyes more on purpose just because the energy is not there. Lets get these coins ladies!

I managed 5 hours! So that's a huge win. Downside is that I made $0. Not a single tip. Oh, well. New day tomorrow, I have one more day on the New label on Stripchat, then I'm out on my own, lol.
ETA: It's so nice that you're all encouraging me, I really really appreciate it. I know we all have slow periods, but IDK that I've ever had 9 consecutive days of fuck all before. It's really easy to get discouraged now. It'll get better.

^^^You mentioned that you cammed before the pandemic, how was it for you then? And were you on the same sites?
Genoveve
06-08-2022, 11:34 AM
And as far as the cats, you have no way to use furniture or room dividers or folding screens to temporarily section off a corner of the room from them every day while you cam? Or sit at a desk positioned in like a corner where you’re facing out, so the corner is behind you on cam, so that if they walk around on the floor behind you they won’t be seen in the camera?

^^^You mentioned that you cammed before the pandemic, how was it for you then? And were you on the same sites?
I'd done it for about six months, and it was slow going then too, but i can understand why. I was camming on my Chromebook and without a microphone or external camera. I still managed to make at least $50 a shift though. I was on Chaturbate and MFC. I tried Streamate too, that worked really well! In retrospect, I think I was mostly playing around with it, since I was doing part-time and night shifts at my vanilla job. So I basically lived on EST hours anyway.
I could potentially build something for the cats. I have a bet door for the bedroom, but they rip the net with their teeth (they're cute, but dumb as rocks, I swear), and the big one will jomp onto it, make it shake and the fall off. All 12 lbs of I'm. It's like throwing a kettle bell around. I do have a cam corner in the "dinins area" (who needs a dining table anyway) with my desktop set up. I wonder if MFC/SM/F4F would mind the sound of cat yowling or occasional cat fights. The oldest will scream at the youngsters of they look at her wrong. 😂🙄
I know this all probably sounds like I'm making up excuses and should probably look for a vanilla job, but I swear I'm not putting sticks in my own wheel for the fun of it.
Off I go to look for screen doors or room dividers!

^^ Room dividers are a great idea, are going to help a little!! I did use room dividers too and there are tons of nice ones! Yeah, it sucks to live in a cramped space with many pets, but you can work your way around. I also suggest filming clips and upload them on cb and stripchat, they sell pretty well!
Also, do you have a vibe toy? That also helps a lot.
Speaking of shifts, I did 10 hours shifts in one go, but I started with breaks. It's not easy to do it, especially since it's dead. I was usually do 6 hours, 1 hour break and then 4 hours. With small bathroom breaks.
You can totally do 4 hours + 1 hour break + another 3-4 hours. No one is crazy to do it in one go, with no breaks haha. Unless you're super busy and don't feel the time passing. So go ahead and split your shift and take breaks!

Do you guys think two 5 hour shifts a day both at there own regular times would be beneficial? It has taken me forever to narrow down the hours were 1. I can make the most and 2. works around kids, dinner, cleaning, dog...bla bla. This week I have officially figured it out after trial and error that two 5 hour shifts at their set times of day would be perfect for me and I actually feel excited to start my OFFICIAL camming schedule!! I will be starting tonight! It feels so good to finally not be wrapped up in when I should cam and just do it! Compared to STFO do you think splitting the day can be just as good assuming I'm there for my shifts the full amount of hours each time?

This is what I plan on doing. Two 5 hour shifts. I used to do this all the time and worked out then.

Just jumping in to say HI, HEY and HELLO here from Spain! ;D
I freaking love this thread. Been going all the way back to the end of last year just to read Cutie101′s posts and they are SO inspiring!
I just made this new Stripperweb profile, so I′m kinda new on here but not really. I′ve been here before because I used to cam back when I was younger but been away for the last 4-5 years because I told myself camming was a closed chapter and "not for me anymore". I was wrong. I miss it and now I′ve made the decision to come back and JUST do cam. Like full time. For however long I want to do it. Haha I′m a bit nervous to be honest but also super excited and since I′m not new to camming I know it′ll be fine. I know what it takes. And now this is what pays the bills and puts food on the table so it HAS to work, right?! ;D
My total goal for this month is just $2500 which will pay the bills for both June and July. I′m going to bed now but I′ll keep you guys updated in here to not only keep myself accountable but also to hopefully motivate and inspire others, just like I′ve been inspired by yours (and especially Cutie101′s) posts in here. LETS GO.

Awwww, thanks! I appreciate you found inspiration into my posts, altough I also been inspired by others here. Yeah, I was also close to leave camming, but I realized it was because I was doing things I wasn't comfortable with. Camming has became much more enjoyable when I stopped fearing that I lose money if I don't do this and that and rather perfect what I enjoy and find my own unique approach. Now I am not mentally tired anymore and I truly enjoy this job, for the first time ever, so yeah... I literally have days when I feel like I just started new, lmao.
In camming the sky is the limit and being ourselves and do what we actually are comfortable with, really pays off because... it shows when you enjoy what you do.
Good luck and welcome back!

I was just talking with a friend the other day about this.. She’s never been camming herself but was curious and wanted to chat about it. And I told her that it’s so important to be the one controlling your own room, instead of letting it control you. Back when I first started I thought I had to do everything they wanted me to do lol and yes, I can relate to fearing to lose out on money too if I didn’t do certain things. So important we just stay true to ourselves and only do what we are comfortable with. And thank you! So excited to be back!
The goal is to stream at least 30 hours this week (I’ve only done 9 so far) and a minimum of 40 next week.

@Cutie101 @KAROLINA_ When I started it was the same I was so stressed because I thought I had to do all the things to be successful....I am the most vanilla cam model out there I think (I'm sure there is more :). So sometimes I do let it get to me still that I could be making more but I'm okay with it because at least I'm comfortable and confident while I'm working and probably that shows....maybe if I did do other things I would get a bad reputation because I would suck at it and hate it lol

I am non nude, among with others in here and we do well. 5 figures a month are totally doable as a non nude, or earnings of $5k+. Most of my camming career has been nude/ explicit type of model and I was miserable. I couldn't do it right because I was feeling insecure and it was showing and the money were bad. I transitioned to non nude in 2019 and things got better and ever since I kept changing my hustle until I found what was finally comfortable to me, I kept trying different things and styles until I found my own way. And I still look into new ways to improve.
So, yes... you will do more in the future because in this industry you always learn something new, always find ways to reinvent yourself, change hustles, have different boundaries (yes it's ok to be comfortable with that now and in the future to not be anymore. And it's also ok to swear you'll never do something and then you actually realize you wanna try and you suddenly like it).

Do you have a post on here somewhere about your transition? Getting really curious now and would love to read about it. I’ve thought about doing a transition like that too but feel like being a nude/explicit model just is so ingrained in me. I’m gonna look, maybe I’ll find some of your posts about it (if they’re on here)..

FIRST CHECK IN POST:
Just jumped on cam 1,5 hour ago. Its almost 7 in the evening here in Spain.
Had a private almost right when I logged on: A foot fetish guy that just wanted to see my feet super quick.
The private only lasted 32 seconds haha but I do love the foot fetish guys tho!
Had another private 50 mins in. It lasted almost 7 mins.
And another one again 10 mins ago where the guy just wanted me to sit and watch him "do his thing".
$24.81 so far.
Now theres not happening anything in my room other than a couple of people bumping in and out of my room now and then. I have the new model status but doesnt really feel like its doing anything for me. Doesnt matter though, Im consistent and will be putting in the hours regardless because camming is what pays the bills now :)
By the way, my main site is Streamate and my rates are 7.99 per minute for private and 9.99 for exclusive. I did sign up on Chaturbate as well, but before my 4-5 year "break" from camming, I used to only be on a private based site like SM, so Chaturbate feels like another world to me lol and havent really been streaming a lot on there since I came back to the cam industry 14 days ago. It is intimidating me a bit but maybe Ill learn how to work it and maybe Ill just find out that Im more of a "private"-based-site-kinda-girl. We will see. :D Kinda intriqued to figure out how to splitcam on multiple sites too. Never tried that before.
Im also signed up with Boleynmodels for the Instant Pay. Not that I really need it, but I do like it. It motivates me even more.
Putting in at least 6 hours today. Maybe even 7. Gotta do at least 30 hours this week, right and 40 next week. As a minimum. LETS DO THIS!

UPDATE on todays camming:
Cammed for 2 hours, got hungry, made some food and ate it while I watched YouTube videos = ended up taking a way too long break :rotfl:
Not gonna beat myself up about it tho.. Its all on me, myself and I, right?! Im in control of my own decisions.
Its MY responsibility to just STFO and not take breaks that lasts several hours like I did today lol
I did jump on again for a little bit, but just logged off to go to bed.
So status for today: I only cammed for 2,5 hours and only made $31.62 in total. But it all adds up.
Gonna do MORE and do BETTER tomorrow!

STFO for 6 hours. Have to do 20 hours this week because I made that my goal in the June Jubilee thread and thanks to my period I have to basically do 15 hours in three days. So I gotta do 6 today, 5 tomorrow then 4. Or I could switch and do 4 tomorrow then 5 but whatever. Today is the only day I have time to do the 6 hour shift. I'm an hour and forty minutes in, would love to do it in one stretch but we'll see.

Came back to camming after...three years? Lost my "new" status on cb on Tuesday, and Tues + Wednesday were AWFUL slow. Barely eked over my absolute basic minimum before throwing the towel in bc it was getting to me. Tonight! Slow start, but hit my absolute minimum within an hour, considered logging off to save myself from the last two days, stayed the fuck on instead and I am SO GLAD I DID. Constant back to back privates (NEVER had this before!) with guys tipping throughout the private and tipping large amounts at the end! Ended up staying on an hour longer and made five times my minimum! Thank you to this thread for motivating me to stay on! Gonna treat my sister to brunch <3

STFO for 6 hours.
I'm officially over the halfway point. The first 2 hours were non-stop busy then the last 40 min has been dead AF. I swear to god every time the site logs me out, when I log back in and restart my stream it is magically suddenly dead. I wonder if it's because they're doing something to the site because why else would I get randomly logged out anyway. Breaking for a protein shake, feeling like I should come back online for the other half at night to try a busier wave but honestly I'd rather just get it done.
ETA I DID IT. It was not easy. $633. Tomorrow is going to be the real test though.
8 hours and 42 min more to hit 20 hours.

YES I think it is too or go to a other site when 1 is dead. Split them all until 1 is busy then go only private mode on the ones I can while the other is busy or sometiems log out of the not busy sites. I am doing longer hours on some days 8-12 hrs and taking other random days totally off instead. I want them to be tipping right away when they see me. 50 hours a week should be enough I cant do anymore

Still have three.fucking.hours. to do and honestly I am exhausted and unless I log on and it is instantly super busy I give up. This week has been very underwhelming, I'm at 17 hours and like $1540something. I just don't see the point of running myself into the ground if it's not going to be worth it financially.

To help with STFO, I'm going to try a few changes:
Being more aggressive in asking for tips or shows, muting my mic (I'm known for being a pretty conversational Domme, so I may not do this, but I'll keep it in mind), increasing my rates (I'm at $8.99/$9.99 on Streamate), and adding a few more "high ticket" options for shows (Topless in exclusive for $50 gold extra). I had a guy tip me last week 100 Gold just to show my breasts, and that sparked my desire to offer it. I'm always of the mindset, "If one man can do X, ten men can do it too."
I'm saving to relocate in December, so I don't have time for little chump change here and there. I think I do pretty well at an average of $62/hour, but I want more than that. Since I'm no nude and only do fetish shows, I sometimes don't feel as confident upping my prices, but I'm sure there's at least 10 other Dommes who charge way more than I do and get shows. We'll just have to experiment and see what happens!

Busy weekend running errands and getting paper work done, so I can get my residencia here in Spain. I just need it in general ofcourse, but I also need it to get my driving license. Im almost 31 and never got my driving license and I definitely need it here in Spain, so pretty excited about that.
But didnt update throughout the weekend. And now its a new week.
Im camming early in the morning today, just putting an hour or a little more in before my nail appointment soon and then Ill get back home to jump on cam again. Camming at least 40 hours total this week.
I had a private 20 mins in, but hit the usb to my cam so my cam froze, I freaked out asking THE GUY "what happened to my cam?!" and then he left ::) Oh what a GREAT start to the day lol :rotfl: but Im back on now - camming and showing up for myself..

^^^Anxious to hear how it works out for you.
I reluctantly lowered my rates today, because I just sat for over an hour without any shows.
I didn't get tips either.
Very little (hardly any actually) traffic.
Sunday used to be my biggest money day.
I was determined to at least make payout, so I logged out to eat, then logged back on.
This is a mini miracle in itself, because once I eat a big meal, and the sun sets, I usually crash.
So glad that I did. The tips were steady as were the shows.
The only thing that pissed me off was that they all were short shows.
I'm raising my rates up again tomorrow, because even though I made more than payout, it took a long time.
I was so glad that I had one guy who kept me company in between shows.
He tipped and had interesting things to say.
I don't know about anyone else, but I hate a dead cam room. It depresses me when nobody says hi, or talks.
Guess it's just the way cam is nowadays.
Most of my customers are 18-25. No social skills whatsoever.

Alright, back at it after a weekend of vanilla work. Was supposed to be on early today, but I ended up having to go back to bed for an hour. It's typical of when I've worked multiple 10+h shifts on my feet, so not worried about that.
Goal today is to STFO for 4 hours. Which isn't long, but it's where we're at. Consistency etc.
Oh, and I'm picking up a screen wall later this day. Does anyone know if F4F or SM will ban you for the sound of animals in the background? CB said they'll ban me for the sound of children playing outside, so before I moved I had to cam with my balcony door closed. On the 9th floor. Because there was a playground beneath me. It was 30+C that summer and I couldn't keep my fan on either, because the microphone picked it up. That sucked. Anyway, now I worry about SM/F4F, because I can finally prevent cats from being on cam, but I can't prevent them from making sound.
(If anyone's noticed, then yes, I am the anxious type. It's ok, I'm aware and I'm working on it.)

I'm doing the same. I'm seeing more and more ladies asking for tips to show boobs, use toys, etc.

I've been asking 50 tokens to put the Lush in. It's so uncomfortable to sit on for hours, even with plenty of lube. Show me you're ready to tip for it or take me private, and I'll do it. I also charge extra for any penetrative toys, because in general I don't like penetration much. I'm willing to do it, but it has a price. *shrug*

Alright 4 hours. Going to eat dinner and see if I can find a spoon to hop on for another two.
