Told myself I was going to STFO until I hit 150% of my high goal to make up for having to take time off thanks to a yeast infection and promptly had my worst night so far. 300+ in my room, nobody tipping, not a single private and had an uncharacteristically high number of assholes yapping away. Made it to the two hour mark before I got too tired and cranky and caved. $30 but jfc what the hell was that all about?

I sat like a lump on SM and almost gave up for the day because I was getting depressed but a long SkyPrivate show & NiteFlirt call came in back to back and knocked me to low goal. Now I realize that doesn't sound great compared to the numbers some of you ladies posted but trust me after $9 in 3 hours I am happy.

Did pretty good today, managed to stay on for more than 4 hours, which is a first in god knows how many months. Just the thought of knowing that the fear wasn't something serious and just cam jitters that other girls can experience made me feel a world better!
I am now a more relaxed, still have to hit the break button to take a breather if I start to feel very overwhelmed, but for the most part it has unlocked so much! I can now say I am two months away from escaping this abuse!
:shy: The thought of getting out of here and finally being at peace, to start a new...words can't explain. Anyways, going to stay the fuck on this week!
I feel like the Genie, at some point I will be free from the torment if I keep strong and stay on.

I was like 15 min shy of 4 hours but I am probably coming back on for a reg tonight so that will put me at probably closer to 5 hours total.

Did 4.5 total. 3-4 hour goal today.
Oops did just under 2.5 I think. 4-6 hour goal today.
ETA omg the most annoying day, probably going to only be a 4-5 hour one. I swear to god whenever I log on and am actually in the mood to cam and feel like doing hours and have a lot of energy---that's when it's dead AF. I first logged on and left after twenty minutes with 0 shows, then have been logging on and off since then and it's still dead but at least I am getting shows. I keep wanting to log off and come back later but every time I'm like 'If I don't get a show in the next 5 min I'm leaving,' I get one at like the 4.5 min mark. But they've all been short shows, only 1 was over ten minutes long and not by much. AND I had two different guys back-to-back start shows and leave before they got charged, that literally only happens to me when I'm already annoyed AF so of course today it happens to me twice in a row.
omg what is this. monday usually is good must be holidays....dead

I actually only ended up doing a little over 2.5 hours this day, I seem to remember that I had only made $178 and gave up.
4 hour goal today. ETA 2 hours down, they were decent which is like the first time this week that I was able to make some money during the day. As usual it completely died around dinner time though so I will have to do the other 2 hours later.

4 hour goal today, almost 2 down. I logged on at like 11:40am which is the earliest I have logged on, especially on a weekday, in I literally have no idea how long. It was not fruitful I made like $56. It was nice being on that early though so after the contest I'm going to experiment with logging on around that same time.
ETA did it. :party2:

I'm giving myself credit for staying on for an hour and not making any money, because normally I'd bail in 30 minutes.
These contests mess with my head.
I did come back on later to at least make it to payout.
Going to be putting in hours on my other platforms during SM's contest weeks.:-\

you are not alone. I have been on for 1 hour today and haven't made a penny. this week has been hella depressing and harsh on my mental health, but I just get up and take lots of breaks, even if its just 5 minutes. sitting on a dead cam site is draining. I was watching one of the top models and even she wasn't getting tipped or taken into shows which is crazy. It shouldn't be this hard to make money on a porn site, ever. but what do I know lol.

I'm not sure. I sent an email to support, but they never got back to me.

It's only slow for me during contests, and during the afternoons for whatever reason.

Jesus. I wanted to do 3-4 hours tonight but looks like I'm stopping at 2 and making the rest up tomorrow. The first like 45 min that I was on were totally normal and then all of the sudden traffic completely died and I was going long stretches with no one coming in my room. It finally picked back up after like a half hour and now it's just really slow instead of abysmally slow. I was at #303 when I logged on and got to #238 so I know I'm not the only one sucking.

why sunday shifts became so shitty ? >.>
Ghost town. but i decided to stay on however i got only 2 pvt sessions this whole time.
On the positive side, on jasmin we can mute shitheads for one month. Still no permanent bann option - shame on them. But a month long mute is much better, than 24 hour version.
so many loser came to rooms just to annoy us day after day. Now they can sit invisible in their basement forgotten , as they deserve. None of them can crawl up to us anymore every single day. Wich is nice ! It s easier now to stay on.

Sunday was always my best day, and I usually could make 1/2 of my weekly goal.
It's been bad since July.
Now that football games are on it's even worse.:'(
Next week is Labor Day weekend. I never do well during holidays.
I've tried for 10 years to make them work. Nope. Not doing it anymore.

September is right around the corner and I am ready putting my first 200 hours month (since March). It's about time.
I have absolutely no desire, but it seems I can't make 4 figures per month with less than 200 hours... I am one of the unlucky ones lol.
Anyway, September is just dipping toes, because from October, the madness starts.

I’m joining you cutie. September to February is 6 months and I’m going to cain it in that time. 200 hours minimum every. Single. Month. No excuses. I am aware how difficult it will be :( but As much as I’m dreading it already, I know it will feel amazing when it starts paying off and seeing the money roll in. Please will you update us all like last time? I found your posts SO inspiring. I loved reading them!

Oh yes, I think I will start updating as well, hehe! Yeah, I am warning you, it's gonna be tough. Discipline and learning to accept the boredom and routine will really play a factor, then dealing with being tired and unmotivated, because I tell you, you will be motivated only the first week. Then, for the rest of 5 months and 3 weeks you will be miserable hahahaha!! But yeah, nothing beats to look at the stats at the end of the month and collect the $$$$$. It will be fucking WELL worth it!

200hrs/month is 6-7 hrs every day.
When you split this big number into small ones, it doesn't look so intimidating...yet, I can't make myself cam every day ;/ That's the main problem.
On monday I did 10 hrs. Then took tuesday off. Idk maybe I should balance it and find a golden middle lol. Because the more often I am online the better the result is. (duh!) and when I take a day off, it's like to start everything over, again.
When Goldfish posted she used to do 70 hrs/week I thought: "it is 10hrs every day! It's pure hero and workaholic, my god"

I know what you mean. I can’t cam every day because I need at least one day off a week, preferably two, but then if I take two days off it’s even harder to get back into it. An object in motion tends to stay in motion is so true in this scenario. Where as if I’m working every day, it will become my routine and I won’t think about it… Maybe I will try say a month, of working every day to see how I get on. Ialready want to cry lol.

It's the same way as with keeping a diet/workout routine ;D
I can't do it even for a one week straight. I cant even dream about a month.
Don;t cry! I think it's really easier to split it into smaller parts like..for example I took tuesday off, and today I need 5-6 more hrs. If I know I need another day off, I'll just try to plan it in advance and keep in mind I wont have any more till the end of the week .
Also, maybe it's easier mentally to cam longer than 6 hrs, but not every day. For example I already feel good thinking about it:)

I normally just take Tuesday and Wednesday off because they are painfully slow and just work 10 hours split into 2 5 hour shifts the other 5 days. It’s just about pushing past the point of discomfort.

I prefer 1-2 days off a week too. I scheduled 1 but I work best camming daily and going hard on months long challenges then taking a burnout break. The mundane is annoying but I've been in situations where it was work or else and that constantly motivates me. Like I have another 2 month goal I'm focusing on but after I'm taking a 3 month long burnout break with selling content and text and phone, only in between.

I usually do 5 days x 10 hours, then 1-2 days off, then again 5 x 10 and so on. During period I take 4 days off. So that's how I pretty much have like 10 days off every month!
You make your own schedule, if you can push 7 days in a row, then take 3 days off, then great. If you wanna work 1 day on, 1 day off, then it's great again!

Alright so... here we go!!!
My first 10 hrs shift in 100 years. Anyway, September will be a test month, to see what's the best schedule, because when working such long hours, a pretty much regular schedule is needed, otherwise my sleep is fucked.
I had a bad sleep all summer, thanks to the heat, despite having AC, my whole body and face are full of pimples, I am groggy and I finally hate summer lol. Glad fall is here, I will sleep better and I won't mind being locked in the house, working long hours!
Edit: 5 hours on... been slow and dead, made something but definitely not the goal... keep going!
Edit: 7 hours on... close to my low goal. WOAH!!!! I forgot how it is to put long hours, haha. The idea of having 3 more is just... bleh. But it's gonna be my life for the next 6 months so stfu and stfo!
Edit: 8 hours and reached my low goal. Yeey! Hoping for the high goal in the last 2 hours. Anyway I am pleased!
Edit: 10 hours and DONE! Wow, that was... hard. And it will be like this the first week. I didn't make much since reached my goal, but a small goal reached is a goal reached so, I declare myself happy for today.
Back at it tomorow! Good luck!

I'll join. I have a daily cash goal minimum, 6 days working, one day off. Sometimes I make goal and log out earlier. Some days I'm on all day. Phone and other work while logged in keeps me busy and sane so I don't have to do free chat consecutively and can take breaks. I do appreciate the extra income of free chat though. Staying logged in for me is just being available for any and everything. I have a mega goal I want crushed by Halloween so I'm really punching in the hours and effort starting today.
