am i literally the only person who makes no money no matter how long i stay on? it's been like this since june. my hourly on streamate is 3/hr this week and MFC is no better. all my indy sites stay on at least 8 hours a day and I don't get anything there either.

No you're not. Sometimes I will be thinking I'm having a good day and then I check out this thread and see someone venting about their "bad day" but they literally made double what I have. I really beat myself up over it.

if i stay on sm long enough my rate will plummit to about $8hr thats why I'm hesitant about finishing the week focusing on hrs because I finally am at a decent rate per hour. but I guess that rate means poop if im never on haha

not sure what indies you are on but just yesterday I took 20min and went through cmd and sky and rearranged some wordings added some new # and uploaded new profile pics and less than 30min later I received 3 calls that helped me move up a few pages which in turn helped a bit more.

Yeah some peoples' bad days are what I make in a week the past few months, and it's not for lack of effort either.

I'm right there with you. I literally only want to make $30/$50 a day camming and most days, I make 0. I do my best though, I have really bad health and its extremely difficult to sit here and wait. But I try, when I can.

I have a disability so I am in the same boat. I used to be able to make $100 a day within a few hours but now I'm lucky to see $20. My hourly today on SM was 0.22c an hour. It's really defeating sitting online when that's my hourly but I try my best as well. I hope for both of our sake that it gets better.

I'm also feeling this. The past few weeks I've been putting in the most hours I've done all year to get less in a week than I would sometimes make on a good day. I saw a girl posting on TikTok about how she had an "okay day" making $300 in 3 hours on MFC and felt so discouraged. Sometimes it's really inspirational to see the success of superhuman goddesses who pull 8-10 hour shifts on the reg, but other times it feels like I've been cursed.

On the other hand, I am constantly trying to change up my strategy and try new hustles and I am SO proud of myself for achieving more hours than usual. I'm trying to focus on the things I can control, but fuck is it hard sometimes.

3-4 hour goal today. 47 min down so far, would love to get it done in one stretch but it has been pretty slow so far and football starts in less than 2 hours.

10 hours today. I confirm the past weeks been horrible. Yesterday i ended at $50... I will split my hours in 2 (5 hours, then 2-3 hours break then another 5 hours) because of how dead it is.
The good part is... if it can be called a good part lol: it's not you. It's dead everywhere, even my friends that work at studios are having a hard time lately, it's a big drop in traffic and earnings everywhere. Those who still make money, have regulars that make like 80% of their income, keep that in mind.

I am also frustrated that i have to work more than others to make money, but i am also frustrated that as a 5'0 height girl, i gain weight quicker and take it off slower comparing with taller women. And so on... sometimes it's good to not look at others and do what works for ME and mind my own little piece of internet space. If it takes me 10 hours to reach my goal (even tho sometimes i don't), then be it. In the end, I made money and it's more important. I just accepted that and moving on with it, until I figure a different strategy. I wished I only worked 3-4 hours a day, when I did I made like $3k a month, which is decent for me, but I need to save to pay the apartament, so I definitely need to make at least double. So, this is it, I do my hours and that's it.

So, heads up and do your best and do what works for you!!!

That’s the spirit cutie. You’re bound to make it through if you keep trying to push it through and showing up no matter what. You have to keep the right attitude even when it sucks sometimes. Stay down to come up. Meditate. No negative self talk. Cry if you need to. Camming is not as easy as most people think

Yeah, you're right... I had same work regimen last year, I did show up for 6 months, worked had, had fixed schedule and it turned out good. I took a break over the summer and worked less and in september i came back to my regular long hours haha. Weird, but I kinda missed it. I love having a routine. When I have too much free time, idk what to do with it, i feel unproductive hahaha.

Speaking of crying, last year when i started my STFO 10 hours routine, i was so dissapointed when i had bad weeks, i was crying thinking it's me, but in time i learned that it's not me. As time as I showed up for such a long time, i did my best. And now I learned that there are really bad weeks and really good ones. In fact, that's how it goes for me, I don't really have average days lol. Now I am chill, I am pissed when I have a bad day but I brush it off the moment I turn off the computer :)) I did my job so.. whatever. Trying again tomorow.

I like that perspective. I also try to protect my energy because constantly ingesting “quitter” energy & reading page after page of “oh it’s slow” & other people’s “losing mentality” I feel can influence you subconsciously. I have a certain “Light” about me that a lot of people don’t have. Im extremely ambitious and competitive. I keep a good perspective and people really wonder how I stay so positive, how I go so hard, & I just don’t want to come to understand the “loser’s mindset” if I understand it and it starts to make sense to me how people can just up and quit, or not go as hard as humanly possible every single day for this shit , then something may change about me. That’s why I don’t have too many friends, I try to be careful who’s energy I ingest

Exactly. For long hours it's important to protect your energy. As time as you show up, you did 50% of the job. The rest is not up to you anymore, in general hard work comes with a dose of luck too, haha. You're there and take whatever you can. It's great to see someone ambitious, chasing your goals and doing whatever it takes without looking left and right. We don't know other camgirls situation, some struggle in 10 hours, some do great in 4 hours, some catch a good whale and work 1 hour a day, we must focus on OUR own thing.
I had the loser mindset for many years, until i opened my eyes and realized that I AM my own engine. I might not be as succesful as others, but I am definitely more succesful than if I give up.

And I definitely learned to stop comparing. It's toxic and poison for my soul, because we don't know shit on how others carry their own hustle. We can mostly get inspired and apply it on our own plan.

Like God Fucking Dammit if it’s so slow all the time and you want it bad enough sign up for every cam site you can find in your spare time and try different ones every single day until you’re tired, take a nap and get up and get your ass right back on the computer. That’s how I am, on the weekends I cam until I’m exhausted take a nap and get right back on because I REALLY want this and nothing else outside of my son matters. I don’t go out like that, I don’t watch TV, Gossip on the phone or NONE of that B.S. I focus on my craft and study my CRAFT.

No you right, I try and avoid reading constant posts about how slow it is and know that you just got to put the hours in, like in any job , you get out what you put in. Having said that, world events are making it tough on people, so I think it’s not as easy as it used to be and the only way I get through ten hour shifts now is by splitting . You right, try out as many sites as you can, don’t just rely on one. Unfortunately the days of just relying on one have well and truly gone! Your hard working attitude will get you far, we all got to keep going and be grateful for what we have . Xx

Thanks a lot, that's my desired outcome, to let people know that it's still possible on the long run, despite being hard in the moment.

You have a great point, it definitely is a bad time, but we stll have days when a good member stumbles across and i'm there for him, haha. The rich ones aren't affected by this, they still afford to have fun.
And speaking of splitcamming, I wrote here before, I used to be a good earning model on Ifriends, it was my main site. One day, in 2018, it shut down. No warning prior, nothing. I turned on the pc to start working and got a big dick slap in my face. I started from scratch everywhere else. From that moment I swore I will never ever put my eggs in one basket anymore. Now I work at least 3 cam sites in the same time, no more exclusivity to no one, cam sites can suck a dick. I will give exclusivity when I will have constant traffic for working so hard, a good payout percentage and the assurance that I reach my goal IF I do a certain number of hours, because I will plan ahead in case it fails. But this is just a dream, so meanwhile... splitcam bb!!! Except ifriends I have never been lucky to make money on one single site. Today I can make $300 on it, tomorow I can make $0, but I make $100 and $200 on the other ones. Sometimes I make nothing on all of them. During theese days, I just suck my teeth and do my hours and I don't give a fuck if it's slow, because I know that by the end of the month I will make the minimum goal.

I do this to a certain extent but 22 hours seems like it may have the opposite effect. The scheduler wont record your hours correctly- I believe working in your predicted hours tends to bring more traffic, you are giving it too much data. I hate when I do this too much and it leaves me unscheduled on my busiest nights.

Yes by doing this you are training guys to take you to a show but if you are coming back all the time they could just never make it a priority to take you then. It cam make you overexposed which would derail a long term plan. If just hitting and quitting it will bring returns.

when you don’t have the time available it will feel like you aren’t making any money.

I do a mixture of stfo And bouncing.


I agree on needing the balance. The way I do it is by hourly average that increases so as to maintain the balance of STFO and leaving. First hour I need to make 20 dollars an hour to stay for two, and in those two hours I must be making an average of at least 20 dollars an hour to stay, 3 hours must be averaging 30 dollars, 4 hours must be averaging 40 dollars an hour to stay on. After that, so far as I'm averaging at least 40 dollars an hour it's worth staying on. Usually it means that my average keeps going up and it ends up being worth it, sometimes means I stick on even if one of those hours is super slow because it all averages out. But if it's under those limits, I find it's better to take a break and try again using the same method. Just my two cents, might not work for everybody but it keeps me motivated.

i took today off and felt kindve bad for it but I needed to do laundry and grocery shop i literally had nothing to wear and no food. Then I had the choice to work 3 hours or take a nap, & I chose a nap. 22hours Friday to Saturday, 9 hours Saturday & 6 Sunday. I was exhausted. Back full throttle tomorrow

With doing those kind of hours you definitely deserved a break. Don't feel bad, doing those other things for yourself are what contribute to your overall health, you feeling good and that's when you're in the best mental and physical state to earn more :)

10-07-2022, 06:14 AM
I had almost a week off last week, due to being sick. It's good to take days off, I usually work 10 hours a day for 5-6 days a week and I always have 1-2 days off. And during period I don't even bother to login, unless I am busy later in the month and need to take time off, otherwise, I take 3 days off.
So, don't feel bad, you need to rest and do things for yourself as well!

So sorry you've been ill like this Cutie! I've had a couple bouts of illness myself. I think flu season is upon us especially as our immune systems all probably got weakened during covid. But we'll make it through!

i wont bother to do more than 4 hours in this biz from now on. :)
Just knowing how things are in these days. Life getting more and more expensive, people losing their jobs.
Im not the super rich and spoiled type of streamer for the richest customers.
And I doubt , average customers ll spend a lot of $$$ on camming in the near future. When many struggling to pay bills.

If i get lucky in 4 hours , that s nice. If no , i accept that too from now on without blaming or beating up myself.
That s my new strategy.

" Exactly. For long hours it's important to protect your energy. As time as you show up, you did 50% of the job. The rest is not up to you anymore, in general hard work comes with a dose of luck too, haha. "

GTFO & STFO is the name of the game with camming. Some days it's like pulling teeth, but if you know how it goes...you get on the next day or next shift with hope and a smile.

STFO 7+ hrs and man, was it shit:

57701

Then I slept, had that go-getter attitude, and GTFO with better results:

57702

Still gonna STFO today and pull as much as possible. I'mma be on that caffeine like nobody's business cause I got a goal in mind.

UPDATE:

Waited patient AF then a whale makes an entrance. You just never know...unless you GTFO and STFO:

57703

Yesterday was stressful. My nanny didn’t make it home til 8:30pm and I stayed up until 3am working. Still had to stay up to pick my kid up at 6am and stayed up all day with him because he was full of energy. Dropped him off and just wanted a break so I had company. Felt good to interact and be around good energy. After that I got some much needed sleep. I’m up today and I’m camming all day today in between naps. And all day tomorrow in between naps �� Let’s get it. Fresh week!

Aiming for 3 hours today and posting here to stay accountable. 1 hour down and $26. Taking it one hour at a time today and logging off for a kitten and snack break.

2 hours down and $49. Very little traffic, surprised I made that much.

$103 after 3 hours. Traffic picked up toward the end of my shift but I can't stay on late tonight. See you tomorrow Streamate for hopefully a longer shift

I’m adding an additional hour of work when I work nights. I normally do three. I’ll now do four. That time frame has been decently busy for me when I cammed it in the past, so I’m hoping it adds to my income enough to make it worth it. Hard to stay up after parenting all day, but I need to make more money than I’m currently making, so stfo it is.

I am at 18 hrs in the last 6 days and it's been really meh. Camscore is bad. Stream has been slow, so I've been making it up on NF and Skype. Logged out for a coffee and did not want to log back in with the excuse of catching up on house stuff. I committed to this schedule though, and plan to do content tomorrow so I GTFO. Crickets for an hour when a FinSub wallet who was lurking the other day found me, doubling yesterday's earnings and sending on multiple sites. Telling myself "if you can GTFO you can STFO!" lets all make bank<3

I did not have a good day, but I stayed on all four. Made $120 in tips in the last hour, so I would’ve missed that if I’d gotten off in three.
