I start my shift at 2-3 AM and end it at 2-3 PM.
My time zone is very similar to yours and I need to start my shifts now at about 4am, to also hopefully be done by 1-2pm my time (it's about an hour ahead of Eurozone time). Wanna start an accountability thing for those of us that begin at that time? It's about 9-10pm EST for US models. Basically we just message each other on Skype to make sure we are online at that time :)

I start my shift at 2-3 AM and end it at 2-3 PM. Of course, with breaks in between for breakfast and lunch.
I wake up at 12- 12:30 AM.
Wow that’s incredible! When do you go to bed then?
I tried to wake up at 11pm-12am but I guess I didn’t sleep enough so I felt tired.

New day, 10 hours!! Yesterday I only managed 8.5 before something to come up and me having to go. I didn't do my workout either, ugh...
Let's see what happens today. Yesterday was horrible.
Edit: 2 hours in. Still horrible, made nothing lol. Full of freeloaders. Oh well...
Edit: 4 hours in. I should have taken the day off. Made NOTHING. 6 hours left...
Edit: 6 hours. Made nothing until a few minutes ago when I caught a new customer and took him $160. Phew... 4 hours left!
Edit: 8 hours and as dead... 2 hours left! Maybe I am lucky with a last minute whale, haha!
Edit: 10 hours. Also dead. At least I know it wasn't me. It can't be me when I sit for so long and nothing happens. Try again tomorow! I'm off to do my workout!

I skipped yesterday, because thursdays mostly suck ;/
Today is just 2nd hr on. I am also in a similar time zone as you, Cutie, and I tried night shifts, and day shifts, both work well for me if I put enough effort and commitment. :)
I can't make myself wake up at at certain hour though. That's where my commitment ends, I guess ;D

Do you always wake up at different hours, or you noticed a certain time frame pattern? And yes, persistence and commitment never deceived and failed anyone.

Do you always wake up at different hours, or you noticed a certain time frame pattern? And yes, persistence and commitment never deceived and failed anyone.
At different. I managed to systematically wake up around 6-7 am (last week for several days haha) but then stayed up late longer till night and next day woke up later. So my shifts are going up and down along the 24hrs frame.
I tried to control it but it's like to try to control a blue jay lol So I accepted it humbly and just wake up, make up and go to hustle.
off topic: the white mask of members on LJ reminds me a skull.hahahah. They also never spend on me so....makes sense;D

I STFO to make bills. I don't usually do more than what's needed to pay bills. Last week was tragic. Streamed about 8 hrs for total shit.

A little over $40 for almost 8 hrs.
Then this week I knew I had to sit and make bills. Total turnaround.

The white mask is the highest member rank, they are called casanova and yeah altough they are fucking stingy and a nasty attitude, some do spend, so it's good to give them a bit of attention, but not too much lol.

Back again, 10 hours today. Let's see what happens. Past 2 days sucked but looking at my previous stats, it's normal. I just do my hours regardless, I learned my lesson after experimenting with 10 hours shifts. In general, the results at the end of the month are more than satisfying, so I'll stick to it!
Edit: 4 hours in, been... meh. Ok ish. Hoping to make goal today.
Edit: 7 hours... can't tell it's friday night lol... oh well :)))
Edit: 10 hours and done. Close to my goal so I am pleased. Not pleased for a friday night tho. But hey, I'm grateful. Good luck!

10 hours again. Today I am late, I was supposed to wake up and wash my hair, but I decided to sleep 2 more hours instead, so I dragged my ass out of bed and just took a shower. I have a headache and it's dead but I am sitting here to do my hours.
Edit: 2 hours in, I'm pretty pleased so far.
Edit: 6.5 hours and I am NOT impressed. So I am out. Mostly because my grandma called and told me she made donuts and my favorite food, it's lunch, I am starving, outside is sunny and I miss my dogs at the country side so... I'm FUCKING OUT. Good luck.

I worked through my period today and was such a struggle. I waited til the very last hour to log in as I wanted to give in and sleep but reminded myself that I had goals and to push and just see what the night shift had. Whale dropped $800 my cut and retired my night. It's 6AM and going to bed very happy.

im not quite sure how to do my shifts. Day after day it s just dead . I dont see anyone, only a few regulars if im lucky. Today 3 hours are done, and not a single person came to my room.
But as i see it s not just me. Vip shows are failing.
It s like the very few customers that are still on Jasmin are greedy irritating assholes who would never come to my room anyway. Like the big majority of customer base disappeared. U know the " normal guys " who are not there anymore.
So what im doing now, sitting at my desk. camera on my face sideways. I dont really show anything and i dont even look at the thing. I try to forget about it and push studies instead. I have a plan to get out of this at the beginning of next year, and if i do well on studies i ll be able to make money another way that is less stresful but more profitable both $$ wise and emotionally.

I meant not the full face masks, but the small white ones. They are stingy af hahaha
These with full masks...idk.I guess they can have nasty attitude since the site tells then 'everybody throws themselves to your feet"
Good to snap their noses ;D

Day 1 - I’m spotting and I know that’s going to suck with my endometriosis. At least today is split into 2 shifts. Here we go. It already hurts a lot, fuck.
Hour 1 - dead, though I guess that makes sense not working regularly. Ugh.
Had a small burst that helped, just have to keep chugging
Hour 2 - Trying not to cry, just need to keep going. At least I tried.
Moving up in placement at least, I'll be at the top in no time
Hour 3 - Got a show with tipping, that helped a bit
Hour 4 - My inner lazy wants to quit so bad. I'm starting to cramp again and its slow. But I can do this.
Awesome, a long show put me back on track.
Hour 5 - Dead. But I did it. Football has started so I'll be back tonight

Hey girl, yes, you're not alone. What you need to do is to detach yourself emotionally from this, especially in freechat, your only focus is private or if he tips/ vibes in freechat. Just go robot mode as in "I'll do my planned hours, if they come in, fine, if not... fuck it, I was here, try again tomorow". Just sit pretty and keep studying, don't worry about the traffic. It's the only way to avoid stress and make this personal because it's easy to fall into burnout, insecurity and anxiety, thinking the problem is you. It's not, it's just how cam traffic is sometimes, or... lately.
I look at models that seem to do good, but paying close attention it's just their regulars. They are "freeloading" in freechat like the rest of us, when the whales are not coming, so... this makes me realize that regulars truly make the difference.
I am planning to get some classes too, of something, to pass time during dead hours.

I am late today, I stayed too late yesterday, but it's probably one of the last truly warm days for this year, for shorts and t shirt, so I played with dogs, I ate good and had a good time.
Anyway, 10 hours, even tho it means I am only sleeping 5-6 hours tonight, but it's gonna be the last night I am working and then 3 days off, so... a lil sacrifice there.

Didn’t make it back, but not a problem. Mondays are usually great for me so here we go!
Hour 1 - thank god for clips, but did get a regular come in for a long show with tips. On track for the day.
Hour 2 - Caught one of those 61 second dumbasses, that was satisfying. I think streamate is glitching though.
Ahead for my goals but need to go to an appointment, be back soon
Hour 3 - Had repeated internet issues. Blah
Hour 4 - Glad I wrestled the internet and didn't give up, starting to get more shows
Hour 5 - Had to make a coffee! Considering kicking stripchat for another site. May just go back to using the shine browser since stripchat is acting up there anyway. Its picking up on streamate
Hour 6 - Regular came back for round 2! So glad I didn't give up!
Hour 7 - Dead, honestly didn't mind the rest
Thats it for me, two days of content now, be back Thursday.

I am not kidding, he calls and gets himself so worked up he cries about how happy he is to submit lol I love his calls.

first day on cam this week due to my period, 2 hours online and I've made $7, 0 shows.. really need to stfo this week. of course the one day I say no penetration, the only 2 people who have even inquired about shows apparently need me to use a dildo to get off and weren't interested anymore. figures. today is just so bad. hopefully it gets better.

hit the 4 hour mark and had only made $16
4 1/2 hour mark I had a chunk of $$ hit my earnings from my cammodels referral link, also a regular came by who always does lengthy shows and he took me exclusive, woo! literally the ONLY show I've gotten today.. got me to my low goal though, thank fucking god lol. almost at 5 hours, staying on for as long as I can mentally handle.

update: i literally dont know how to not cry with how bad its been for me
update 2: at one hour and im at -0.19c
update 3: im at 4hrs and half way to my absolute bare minimum goal, still getting totally shit traffic

I almost cried yesterday, never in my life have I cammed and only had 1 show during a whole shift. I understand Im not a top model who has thousands of dollars thrown at them every hour but I've never had an issue making good money. SM is a ghost town lately. even top row girls look bored and have trouble pulling gold shows, so I know its not us models.
I'm about to log in and stream here in a few and I already have a playlist of youtube videos lined up to pass the time. Hopefully today will be better....hopefully. good vibes.

I logged off and cried, re-did my makeup and lowered my rates by $3 and came back to a block show. I dont love lowering my rates but if it means I make more than $12 an hour, I'm going to stick with it I guess... Traffic is still really slow though aside from that

Girls, don't cry... it's not you, it's just that the traffic is shit. Even top models make shit without regulars, on Jasmin is easy for me to see how they make like 90% of the day money with ONE member.
I stayed 8 and 9 hours with only $20 at the begining of the week. That bad it was... but it's part of camming, ups and downs. It's a common issue before a couple whales come by and become regulars, that are brining our daily goal. Hang in there and try again tomorow!
PS: I used to cry too, thinking it's me, panicking that everything is going down, etc. but putting so many hours online for a few months, it was enough for me to observe some patterns. Those horrible days come in cycles. So never think it's you. I did everything humanly possible (aka putting insane hours), to notice that sometimes I can pour a bucket of diamonds over myself and still won't make shit. But the good news is that great days are also coming in cycles.
That's why it's good to not spend everything when you have good days, lmao :))))
Just do your regular shifts ladies and let it go, it's really not you sometimes, especially if you have decent earnings in general.

Edit: Made shit the first 4 hours and then caught a whale. Yey!
Edit: Done with the 10 hours! Started really bad and ended by doubling my goal. Mmmm yassss!!!

Aiming for 4 hours tonight. In order to hit 20 hours for the week I needed 10 hours and 20 min, I figured I would do 4 hours and 20 min today and 6 hours tomorrow. I logged on earlier but in 20 minutes the only money I made was $3 from a guy who went exclu and tried to leave before he got charged but was a second too slow. So now I have 4 hours left.
ETA just logged back on, did 15 min and made $0. So in a total of now 35 minutes I've made $3 which is just dandy. I don't think I'm going to be doing 4 hours tonight. Logging off to take my dog for her walk since it's obviously dead right now and then I will make a final stab at it after that but if I log on again and don't get any shows again I'm giving up.
ETA II this is officially one of the worst shifts I have ever had. I've done a total of now 90 min and am at like $45. The whole first hour combined I only had that minute exclusive and a $2 tip. Then the last 30 min picked up but it's just been a few short shows.
ETA III just made $127 off a reg, so now my total is still below average but not god awful.
ETA IV Well I gave up an hour early so I did a total of 3 hours and 15 min instead of my desired 4 hours and 20 min. I got tired since the slowness kept pushing my shift back later and later. My total is $247, and it sucks because traffic-wise it wasn't that slow of a day. It wasn't one of those days where my room was so empty I figured the site was glitching, it wasn't super busy but I had steady traffic just none of it was spending and I saw only 2 regulars the whole night, the rest was nothing but numberless dudes. Still going to aim for 6 hours tomorrow so I can hit close to my 20 hour goal, debating on the 25 hours for the contest.

Have a few short owed shows with a reg that likes to play days in a row. I'm going to finesse until he books more sessions. I want $600. If not I'll still be ready in case other clients want to play so whatever happens I'm STFO.
