So I'm gonna either do 4,6,4,6 or 5,5,5,5 or 4,6,5,5....etc. Today is probably going to be a 4 though thanks to football and thanks to me being tired from deciding to wake up at 7:30am which is early AF for me.
I did the 4 hours, I honestly didn't think I was going to be able to do it due to being so tired but a ton of Starbucks concentrate and two Monsters helped. Football is on tomorrow which might get in the way of a longer shift so I am thinking I might end up doing 4, 4, 6, 6. 4, 6, 4, 6 would ultimately be better for me though but we'll see. I have got to try to fall alseep earlier tonight so waking up at 7:30 tomorrow doesn't destroy me like it did today. :sleep:

Hey, thank you so much!!! I am really happy to hear that and I am glad I could share my ups and downs, so everyone can see that you can still be succesful, even if you have to put some extra effort haha.

Back online! Yesterday I was... bleeeeh. I ended doing 2 hours and bailed.
Today, full shift, 10 hours. I won't be able to be online next weekend, so I have to work hard this week. Not looking forward, since period is about to hit tomorow and I wanted 2-3 days off, so I will have to stock on ibuprofen and suck a dick.
Let's see what happens today, tho! My biggest wish is to manifest a 2k day so I still take those 3 days off lol. Universe?!?? Heard that???
Edit: 4 hours in, made like $25 and then a good client came and I am at $185.
Edit: 8 hours and at $245.. Kinda slow but I still got 2 hours left!
Edit: 10 hours and still ar $245. Slow monday but I don't fucking complain, I mean... last monday I made $15 in 8 hours wtf. Nope, I'm taking all of this with extreme gratitude.

I second this - thank you so much, Cutie, you really find the right words to cheer anxious minds up! <3 ;D
I also join Carmen, because a couple of days ago I was stfo for 8 hrs with 25$ ;D , then caught a whale. It was also my record of stfo -12 hrs online. Feels good! }:D

Accidentally deleted most of my post when I updated it, I was basically saying that I never hit the 25 hours for contests because I always run out of steam towards the end of the week so in order to hit 25 this week I want to make sure I have 20 hours done by Wednesday so I barely have to stream during the end of the week. I did 4 hours yesterday and am doing 4 today, then 6 hours on Tuesday and 6 on Wednesday. I want to make sure I get a good workout in today so I can take 2 days off from training because I can only do 6 hour days if I have nothing else I have to do.
I did almost 90 min just now but then I think they fucked the site up because my traffic randomly completely died, potentials randomly went down into the single digits and it did that thing where it kicks me out and makes me log back in and I swear that whenever the site logs me out it's dead when I come back on. So I'll do the rest tonight.

Barely dragged myself out of bed... I was so close to get back to bed and continue sleeping, that I turned on the shower and jumped in without thinking twice. I am still sleepy because yesterday I slept only 4 hours... I said that today I will sleep 8 hours, but I couldn't fall asleep. And I know why, I haven't worked out for a week.
Anyway, period came and I just can't be bothered about anything. I play online games and just do my hours. This will be my plan to survive this week lol.
Edit: 4 hours on, slow overall but I caught a good client. At $140.
Edit: 10 hours and... I was going to type that I am finishing the day at $200, with DEADNESSSSSSS and left the stream going while typing in here when, a member came in and stayed 40 min in pvt and also tipped. Sooo, ending the day at $400!!! WOohoo!!!!

These threads (and the Streamate one) keep me sane.
I ended up doing 5 hours yesterday. It started off brutal, and I never do contest weeks so I feel irritable around this time. Hour and a half into the shift and I made all of $30 dollars or so. THANKFULLY I split cam, so when one site fails me, the other does a little or a lot of something to make up for it. A few of my regulars logged on and made up for it which I'm super grateful for.
I wound up ending the night at $334.14. Can't complain at all. But considering I had weeks where I was pulling $4-$500 in four hours, I want more of those days to reappear.
On another note, I HATE Streamate during contest week. And I'm not hating at all, but you can literally predict who's going to be in the Top 10 every contest. What's the point? If anything, it would be cool if we could be separated into categories based on our rankings and simply compete against each other that way. I'm a non nude Dominatrix, and there's no fucking way in hell I'm gonna beat a blonde haired, blue eyed 20 year old that does DP and everything else under the sun. Like, come on.
But more importantly, I'm no here to compete with my fellow ladies. This is how I make a living. I pay ACTUAL bills with this money and without it, I'd be homeless. So why the fuck would I want to compete against other Women? Compete to earn a living? I'll pass. I'd rather work like a slave weeks before contests now and take off the whole week avoid it. Some people may think I'm thinking to deep into it, but I'm not. This may be all fun and games and extra spending money for some, but for a lot of us, this is our only source of income and I find it gross and distasteful how many of these competitions they hold on a regular basis. Once every few months, fine. No problem. But like, once a fucking month?
I've had enough.

Omg I had an English regular go exclu and I was asking him how things are in "merry old England" and asked him if was upset about the Queen. Then like 2 minutes later it hits me that that's not him and I was like "Wait, you're not British are you," and he was like "No." Wrong reg, similar username. It was extra funny because he's one of those guys that has no personality.
ETA oops meant to write that^^^ in the 'stuff that makes you giggle on cam' thread. Oh well.
I did almost 90 min just now but then I think they fucked the site up because my traffic randomly completely died, potentials randomly went down into the single digits and it did that thing where it kicks me out and makes me log back in and I swear that whenever the site logs me out it's dead when I come back on. So I'll do the rest tonight.
I did do the rest tonight somehow. I had to do 2 hrs and 38 min more to hit my 4 hour goal and after about an hour in I was running out of steam hard, falling asleep. I chugged half a Monster hoping for a placebo affect (because that's not enough caffeine to actually energize me) and it didn't work. The whole first 90 min I was non-stop busy with regs but after the last one left and I had an hour left it was DEAD. Like a basically empty room, I was seriously ready to give up and just tack the remaining hour onto another shift.....I had 53 minutes left, then a reg who does long shows and barely talks(and I pretty much surf the web and text during our shows because that's how boring and non-responsive he is) went pvt for 54 minutes. Hallefuckinglujah. So today I did 4 hours and 1 minute. 6 hours tomorrow.

I hear you. I'm happy for the girls who are competitive and love contests I just loathe them even though I still make money during. To me it's just too many clients expecting me to jump for dimes when I just want my $400 cash like every day. I'm not tapdancing for the same cash they hand out every day. IDGAF if it's Dooms Day. They run them every month and it gets to the point I avoid SM and hustle other sites that just pay me for the sake of paying me and not using me as shark bait or dangling carrots because the site is bugging. "Welcome gentlemen. The site is glitchy but we want you to spend anyway so here's some half priced webpussy and high density virtual catfights to place your bets on. Watch them grovel for a top prize and give you a 1st born son alllll for $5!" I'm good.

I feel you and agree totally on the categories for contests. It’s totally ridiculous when you actually think about it, some ladies are 4.99 a min, others are 20.99 a min , some are Dom and Fetish only, others full on toys etc so I think it has just turned into a contest prob for the top 100 who are usually in the top 100. I’m not competitive at all and I don’t do contests, I work them but don’t participate in the whole leaderboard drama. The prizes aren’t enough for me to push my mind and body like that. I can well understand if you are in the top 5 cos the prizes are decent but I really don’t want to push my body like that.
I guess SM are a business and contests work for them, so they run them as often as they can and for many models they find them motivating and that’s great but I don’t, in fact it has the opposite effect on me prob cos I know that not in a million light years will I ever get into the top 10 because of the reasons you described and the prize money then is decent so why am earth would I push myself hard for a few extra hundred dollars , not worth it to me.
E]
i m working already 8hrs and i m happy to work more if necessary however i can not skip the gym bc it is a job that LOL. i m doing photoshoot while it is contest week so i make it productive anyway.
200$ by day is far from my usual but ohhhh suck it
was a pain SM today others websites make my life better even there lot of TW
make me moody contest me too. and i feel to hate all guysss but i do not still gratefulllll :)
so that to say going to the gym guilty free bc i must care about my body and health. also i was hired from an agency for extra job a very selective one so that is a win

This was the PERFECT depiction of it! Like, spot ON.
On top of that, my videos are getting rejected for dumb shit (wow, you saw my cat's tail and my guy wanted me to use the f word ONCE in a custom. The HORROR) so I'm extra pissy with them even more today than I was last night. So, I'll be on there. But I'm not stressing or putting much effort right now. Chaturbate has been amazing, and I'm pouring into my clip sites and starting up a LoyalFans.

Almost an hour down. Don't know how I'm going to carry on. Morale is low. PMS has entered the chat. I started crying at one point because the verification thing was taking too long to load. Must keep going. Bribing myself with McDonald's; I can get McD's once I make it past the halfway point. :pray:

10 hours shift. Period came but... I pulled myself out of bed and made a coffee. Let's make moneeyyyyy!!
Edit: 6 hours and... $50. I feel ridiculous when I write those amounts, but I do it because I know I have really bad days and really good days and this helps those who might feel insecure or that have no chance in front of those who post huge amounts. It's easy for me to go in the 1k thread and brag only with the successes, but I am trying to show that, for every succesful day, sometimes there are tons of unsuccesful ones.
Same with hours, I have no idea if the next 4 hours something will happen or not, I just want to say that STFO helps. Despite the bad days here and there, I already doubled the earnings from last month. And I've got like 7 working days left, in the month.
Edit: 10 hours and... ending at $60. Today it's just a bad day. Trying again tomorow.

Didn't get my McD's. :crying: I literally didn't have time because I didn't get more than halfway done 6 hours earlier like I wanted to. After a little over 2 hours it totally died so I logged off to eat something quick because I was starving thinking I could log back on after that and do another 90 min right away, but of course when I logged back on to bang out the 90 min it was dead as fuck so I logged off to walk my dog and eat a 'dinner' at home instead. On again now, it's dead AF so far and I have 3 hours and 10 minutes left.....which having to do more than 2.5 hours at night is exactly what I didn't want to happen. Unless it is one of those nights where I'm busy the whole time I don't know if I can sit here for that long. I will do at least 2 hours and 10 minutes though. :ashamed:
ETA dear god. I am so close, 41 min away from 6 hours but I don't think it's worth it. Today has been overall a below-average day and if it wasn't for the reg I mentioned yesterday coming back tonight to do an over hour-long pvt it would have been an abysmal day. I think this is the first time in as long as I can remember that I did a long shift and didn't make what I consider to be a lot of money. I am NOT doing the second 6 hour shift I had planned tomorrow. I am still going for the 25 hours total just because I don't want the toture that has been today to have been for nothing, but I've done enough hours to where I just need to do 2 hours and 53 minutes a day Wed-Sat to hit it. And as god as my witness I am never attempting 25 hours for a contest again.

I'm so proud of myself for staying on Streamate for 5 hours every day this week.
Not for the required contest hours, but to prove to myself that I could do it.
Normally on contest weeks, I'd only log in for a few hours a week, because of how dead it is.
I made my low goal, and am motivated to work the rest of the week like this.
Realized that Streamate is not like the good old days of having 20/30 customers in my chat room, who were active participants.
It's a miracle if I get 2 people who talk to me, and I can go several minutes before someone even enters my chat ( and then they leave immediately). :-\
But, with this new paradigm I'm still making money.
It just takes longer is all.

I feel like I could have written this myself, seriously! This is my experience this week as well. Ive been staying on despite my hourly percentage being embarrassingly bad, and just trying my best to reach my low goal each day. SM is not the site it used to be. I'd literally give anything just to have the good traffic back.
eta: I genuinely think the bonuses are a joke. I know SM doesn't have to give bonuses at all, but they may as well throw nickels and dimes at us. its low key insulting lol. But what makes it worth staying on is proving to ourselves that we can accomplish goals we set for ourselves.

I didn't do my three hours yesterday I did around 2, so I have a little over 9.5 hours left to do total. I logged on during the day yesterday and it was dead so I left after ten minutes, came back at night and the first half hour was slow but steady, then a reg went exclu for 45 min and when he left my room was so dead that I left after 4 min. Aiming for 2-3 hours today and during the day, I do not have it in me to risk having another dead night.
ETA almost at the 3 hour mark, today has been decent. Not tons of traffic but not freakishly dead and the money has been consistent. Now that I have around 7 hours left I was assuming I'd try to do days from here on out, but now I'm wondering if I should do tomorrow's after the 5pm cutoff since Saturday's hours will have to be before that 5pm cut off so that I could potentially have a higher earning 'day' for the contest. I haven't been working with the split at all and only have 2 'days' with a decent total.

The first part of the week I was so busy getting my life together cleaning, errands, vet appointment, more clothes shopping for the kids. Just started my week yesterday. 12hrs yesterday split in 3 shifts and aiming for 15hrs before midnight but will continue until at least 3am. every time I take that many days of I feel like I'm starting over :( doing at least 12hrs Sat and Sun. I really hope this weekend picks up because I just got caught up with everything and I would like to stay that way!!

I discovered this game, called Gold Digger FRVR, it's really simple because it has no timer, you basically dig holes, make explosions and watch out your head to not have stones falling on you, while you collect stuff :)) Easy brain fart game that's addictive: https://golddigger.frvr.com
I initially discovered it on this site (seems on this site there is an older version of the game), that has tons of easy and cool games to play and it doesn't eat resources: https://poki.com
And there were more sites that I liked, such as miniclip, but got bored hahaha.

this is awesome, Its always good to distract yourself with things that will pass the time on cam! I personally watch waaay too much YouTube so I always have a video playing. Reddit is also a fun rabbit hole to fall into if you enjoy reading about random interesting topics. I look engaged and entertained and the guys popping in and out are none the wiser lol. I have 2 browser windows open side by side, one for my chat room and one for my entertainment so I never miss when someone says hello or wants to engage with me. Its honestly the only thing that has helped me stay on cam for hours on end without rage quitting.

Agree with everything you said here.
If the first tier of $250 is met, isn't that something like $1 more per minute (25 hours)?
Lol
It's a cruel joke.
When the contest first started ( Sat at cutoff), my paid time went from 67% down to 14%., and stayed there for 2 days. Yikes. :O
The rudest people entered my chat too.
I'm hoping that this is the last contest that I'll be working, as my other eggs are very prosperous for me.

I discovered this game, called Gold Digger FRVR, it's really simple because it has no timer, you basically dig holes, make explosions and watch out your head to not have stones falling on you, while you collect stuff :)) Easy brain fart game that's addictive: https://golddigger.frvr.com
I initially discovered it on this site (seems on this site there is an older version of the game), that has tons of easy and cool games to play and it doesn't eat resources: https://poki.com
And there were more sites that I liked, such as miniclip, but got bored hahaha.
I miss FarmTown. I wish they would bring it back. It's still there but it runs on Flash and revved up my computer.

Didn't realize it was contest week and now it all makes sense.
But now it's cam-a-thon time. I'll be online from 6am today until... whenever I crash. Hopefully, that's not until Sunday afternoon.
Hoping for a decent weekend after a terrible contest week. Have three hours to cam Saturday, but I’m hoping to do a minimum of 5-6 on Sunday and Monday, 8 if I can.
;D saturday damn ...still contest today? yesterday was fab. defo good move be off!

Hey girls I've been very sporadic for a while and just been catching up through this contest week that coincided perfectly with my period which weirdly seemed to be the case for many ladies here. Happy recent birthday Cutie! Was nice to see you and Sha back! Was nice to read everyone's posts to be fair, made me feel far less alone and was hugely motivating. Staying on longer is getting easier, I realise I need to be trying to do 6 hours a day with a minimum of 4, considering I have busy weekends and often weeks so can only usually fit in 5 days at the moment. On my heavy flow day I stayed on for 9 hours which I haven't done in probably a year, I also managed to get $468 thanks to a whale who came back in two days and has really saved my week. Was really proud of myself for pushing myself like that when even physically it was the hardest. This was also the highest amount I've managed in a day in a really long time.
Today i've only hit 67 dollars in almost 3 hours, I'm still happy with that, as Cutie said, don't look at the days, there will be good and bad ones no matter what you do. For this week I knew I wasn't going to place, but I just want to finish those 25 hours and take the small bonus at least, I know it's not much but it all adds up for me at the minute. This is once again the highest amount of hours I've done in a week, regardless of my time of the month but with that on top, super proud of that. I can manage to fit in a few more hours before I have to go, I don't think I'll hit 1000 for SM but I hope I might be able to hit 1000 across SM and my other site. The 50 bonus gets me over the 1000 mark anyway and I haven't made 1000 for the week in a while as I haven't been putting in the hours consistently.
I know that 6 hours I can manage, and at that point I pay attention to whether the hourly is high if I plan to stay longer than that. Gonna start waking earlier regularly. I have other business ideas I really want to work on, but, I can not feel comfortable doing that unless I have saved enough to pay my taxes in January plus 5 grand sterling in savings ideally. Because then I need a smaller amount saved for my taxes in July. But until I have that I am effectively living in minus. Due to personal and relationship reasons I want my other business ideas to get to a point that at least matches what I am realistically earning here and have the choice of replacing it. For that, I need a safety net and I thank you girls for the motivation to get that in place as soon as I can.
Good luck girls! We are so close now to the end of the contest. Thank goodness for that ha. Hopefully things will be normal or more normal at least, next week. Will update once shift is finished.
UPDATE: So with it being so slow and me having hit 25 hours for the week spread over 5 days! Will take a break and hop back on before I leave for the weekend. 3.5 hours today so far. $975 across the two sites, £920 on Streamate on my period and contest week, I'm happy. Any more I can squeeze out in an hour or so I will take and be grateful for.
UPDATE: Hopped back on for 30 minutes thus completing 4 hours today and getting $101. Total for the week 25.75 hours and 992.49. It's annoying how close I got to 1000 overall but meh haha. Have a great weekend everyone!

4 hour goal today. Then I have just under 3 to do tomorrow.
ETA did around 90 min earlier, traffic was meh, money was okay. Starting on the rest now.
I got really lucky. Came back around dinner time, had a small rush right away then it completely died. Left and decided to come back to do the last 90 minutes later and when I came back I had a rush and then again it totally died. I figured that if it was abysmal I could just settle with 3 hours for the day and do 4 the next, and I was getting ready to log off because I had gone a long stretch without any shows but then a dude went exclu for 40 min. Then another guy went exclu and then a reg went exclu for over 45 min. When I logged off (at almost midnight which is late as hell for me on cam) I had streamed for a total of 5.5 hours for the day. So now I just have to do a little over 90 min today.
ETA 20 min left. Barely hanging on dead AF.

I did it. :party2:
And I'm never doing it again, and of course the end was dead as hell so my final like 40 minutes draaaaaaaaaaaaagged. I wasn't expecting to make a grip in less than 2 hours at the tail end of the contest but jesus. I think I made $35 in the last 60 minutes. I did log on earlier than I normally would just to get it over with, I dunno if I would have done better later. Thank god I didn't end up having to do a lot of time today.
In 25 hours I made $2280 for the week and my 3 best totals were a $535.23, a $412.46 and a $513.93. My actual best shift was my $500 one yesterday but I had to work 5.5 hours to make it. I think Sunday was the only day that I was busy the whole time and didn't have to keep logging on and off to try and work around deadness. Well Thursday was steady the whole time too but I only did a couple hours. My position has been in the mid 200s all morning so I'm assuming I'm going to end up placing in the 200s, so I guess the extra $300-$400 that I'll get in bonuses will make up for the slowness.

I did it!
It took me until 3 am, but I put in my 25 hours.
I took a screenshot from my other phone, which I'll post.
What was awful about it was that hundreds of level 2, and 3 customers popped into chat but never spent any money.
I USED to cam 8-9 hours everyday when I first started camming.
What I noticed (which happened this time) is that no matter what hour of the day I'd be on, the customers always appeared.
It could be 2pm, or 2 am. Bam!
There they are.
I had past customers enter my chat the entire 25 hours.
I even saw level 1 guys who haven't been around since 2011/13.
Why they're not spending on me, I'll never know.
But it sure leaves a sour taste in my mouth.:-\

Two hours in and it’s absolutely terrible. Yesterday was decent though. Aiming for 5 today.

I got on right after the contest ended last night, because I thought that it would be back to normal, traffic wise.
It wasn't. :'(
I want to get on now, but I'm dreading it.
My mind and body feel absolutely dead from doing so many contest hours last week.
Add to that, football is on all day. That usually messes up my traffic.:-\

I have 16 mins left. I’ve made $65 on Streamate and $30 indie. What a fucking joke.

I doubt I would have. When I logged off I was in the 240s and 4 hours later when the contest ended I was in the 260s.

I find that on Saturdays, contest or not, it seems to be dead right around the cut off time. For me the cut off is 5 pm, so like 4-6pm willl be dead. The actual NIGHT nights will usually be fine.

Okay, so I logged off after five hours and was very unhappy with what I made. Took an hour break then logged on for two more hours. Ended up making $128 on Streamate and $74.31 indie. I’m still not happy with that because it’s a very low hourly for me but it’s certainly better than what I almost ended up with at five hours.

don’t really understand it but I find this to be true most days. That 4-6, Especially after a contest. Ended up staying later then I intended last night because it was going so easy starting around 630.
probably jinxing myself by even stating this but the drop off of catty trolls post contest was remarkable. I wish there was some way to contain that better, it’s just so annoying and sad. I am not here to deal with other femmes hating on me I can go outside for that.
adjusting my schedule for fall, giving myself a “weekend” again and shooting for at least 5.5 hours per day, split as life allows. Got a lot going on outside of cam which if I give myself the right conditions to work should make me stay focused on my goals. Already pulled more 2 hours at a time since I gave myself a pep talk.

So glad that I did 2 shifts today. I always do better at night on all of my sites for some reason. Not sure why that is, but I'll take it.:shrug:
I was planning on staying on longer, but the left side of my head started throbbing really bad.
The traffic was steady for once.
Hallelujah!:dance:
