We got good news today! Vet thinks she’s going to be okay
What does your tree look like? I want to get 1 with the fake snow already on but they are all sold out. I have green with white lights it looks really nice on video. 1 year I had a green with colored lights in my background it looked kind of sad so i only use white lights now the guys say it loooks like snow
I am back on for 9 today i need to do some recordings for the holiday season after hopefully is worth all the effort
honestly i got it yday i bought on amazon 26$ just a tree including deco, however i like my kind of deco and light that i bought on shein everything 40$ is beautiful. make my flat more warm and honestly i deserve it. useless unnecessary maybe but mentally feels good, it is an investment lol;D
white tree was at 200$ too much... let s save some money or spend on other things ... you can always use some spray on a green one
how is SM today very weird for thursday
i made 100$ only on others website, usually is a busy day for me. missing something?

Low traffic, low potentials, low tips, low number of shows. I logged off early. 1st of month bills due for these guys, I assume? Was hard to get back in the groove after my short time off. I'll try again tomorrow.

you are right. i see the tree skirt $50+ i think why waste $ on something I will barely see for 1 month of the year.. there are more important things! I do have some white paint... I might do just that!
Thursday become my favorite day to work, usually busy only with customers and not a lot of trolls. Not today.. first of the month I am lucky to make $20 so i made that and log off to do somecontent now. Will push more hrs to makeup for it this weekend.

4 hours today.
ETA so annoying. I logged on and did 20something minutes and it was totally normal, regular traffic and I did a few shows, then after coming out of my last pvt traffic had randomly completely died. Like one person coming in every minute and saying nothing like contest traffic. I think after this week I am going back to only doing nightshifts. It is so rare lately for me to make money during the day for the last like month or so, 9.5 times out of 10 lately when I log on during the day I have to give up and come back at night.

On SM? There is a glitch sometimes, not every day but if someone takes me exc I have to restart stream after every exc show in order to be seen in the public chat

Yeah, I got a lot of bullshitters saying they wanted to go pvt then disappeared tonight, too. I am not a day cammer so I do not know how Sunday-days are. Sunday nights are usually ok for me, in general, with Saturday nights being my best earning night of the week.
As far as tonight, all I can assume is that guys have the post-holiday blues, dreading work tomorrow after long weekend, spending money on Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Holiday stuff, instead? Who knows? I know this will pass but still frustrating. Dec 1 is my 1 year cammiversary with SM, so I do not have previous year to compare to. On a positive note, I try to remind myself that overall, it has been a huge blessing and gotten me out of a financial bind, plus better than my old vanilla job. It def has it's frustrating times like any "job", though. I'm taking a few days off to decompress and reset. Thanks for listening.
Happy 1 year Cammiversary!
This month is my 13th year on cam.
I'm thankful for this job, but at the same time I'm resentful of how bad it's become (for me).
I hate that I'm constantly comparing it with how it USED to be.
Wish I could have a lobotomy and start over.
I have zero tolerance.
The other day was abysmal and no-one was talking or tipping ( Streamate).
When I saw a regular tipper enter my chat, I got hopeful.
I did something that I have never done.
I explained how slow it was, and told him that if he tipped a certain amount to get me to my goal, then I could log out.
He thankfully did.
Lately when these bad days keep happening, I feel like crying, and have to log off. I'm not a person who cries.
Not a way to cam, by any means.
Luckily my PSO is busy and the customers there are lovely.

Ok. I REALLY didn't want to but I lowered my rate and got my first couple of shows. Ending the payday at $27.69. At least there's progress. I may leave my rate as is until my new model tag expires. If nothing else this is training me to do 200 hrs/month

I have experienced a glitch for years where sometimes anyone sitting in your room as you come out of a pvt or exclu won't be able to see you, either you or they have to refresh for it to work again.
So I did not do 4 hours yesterday, between when I logged on earlier and tried to come back at night I did an hour and 18 min and made $49 which is god awful. If I had stayed on longer I think it would have ended up like my awful Thursday last month where in 2.5 hours I made $111. On now with a 4 hour goal again, so far at $0 for 13 min, no traffic again.

Thanks DQ for the Anniv wishes!! I can certainly understand why you feel the way you do even after my short while camming. I was not around camming during "the good old days" of high earnings, but like you all, have good days and bad days. I am in my late 50's with health issues so it works great for me now but I love the PSO option that some of you are talking about. Glad it's working for you! I may look into that, as well.......I always wonder what the "end game" is for a lot of the long time cammers on here, so I am really enjoying the thread that opened called "The Retired Cam Models Thread".....I've subscribed to it. And will comment and ask you all a few questions about the "end game" in there, so I don't get off topic in here. Wed night was awful but last night was better---such a roller-coaster...the uncertainty is maddening, sigh....thanks again! xo

Well I got really lucky. My first stretch was dead AF, at the 90 min mark I think I had made $80, just abysmal traffic. But thanks to regs I'm about to hit my 4 hours with $462. I think I am going to come back later to try for 2 more hours too because I originally wanted to do 6 today. I have a headache though and it's now dead AF again with my regulars gone so we'll see.

About to log off. My earnings went from $0/hr to $2/hr to $20/hour. Glad I stuck it out! My earnings definitely aren't what I want them to be but maybe if I keep at it things will keep getting better. I know I posted a lot but that was the only way I could stay on. The first week I kept logging off and made nothing.

Did not have the energy to come back for 2 hours but did come back for a reg for almost an hour, so in almost 5 hours today I made like $583. Thank god for regs because they have been saving my ass with all this terrible traffic.

You're welcome.:-*
Yes, we should definitely keep the retired cam girl thread going.
I'm 63, and because of chronic health issues, I'm not able to sit in a dead cam room for hours on end.
What I CAN do is lay in bed on my heating pad and stay logged into phone for 10/12 hours.
My mental and physical health have dramatically improved.
So, in other words....there is hope.
Edit to add: All while wearing comfortable clothes, no make up or wigs. Hair in a scunchie, etc.
You get the point.

LOL! I'm sorry but that legit made me laugh. Chaturbate is so hit and miss. A lot of people have said token sites aren't their favorite and I can see why. Kind of a toss up of if it'll be good for you or not. Even for me, every day isn't a guarantee.

I have decided to make my schedule entirely regimented and only work four hour days at the same time Monday-Friday. I’ve always hated working weekends, but I usually do well on Sundays. I’ve been scared to give them up, but I think my overall happiness at having a strict schedule will pay off in the long run anyway.
Tonight has been average. It started off busy and it seems the site is fucking up so I’ve made very little in the last hour and a half. I have $23 minutes to go but I’ll be okay if I make nothing else.

Trying for 5 hours today. I'm getting my period soon and am trying to earn at least $200 before it gets here. Cam has been real slow for me for the past few months and I've honestly not been pushing myself. I'm averaging $20-30/hr which isn't horrible but it used it be more. I'm at 2 hours and $55. As a reward, if I reach $300 before my period, I get to buy more weed this week (I'm out).
3 hours, $73. I normally only cam at night so I'm pleasantly surprised. Hoping to exceed 5 hours now but I'll see what the next 2 hours bring.
4 hours, still $73. Took a long break and back on now.
5.5 hours, $93. Not feeling great about that hourly but staying on for a little more. I think I'll have tomorrow to cam too before my period.

Hey y'all! I'm a new poster here, but have been lurking for a very long time. I lost my camming stamina after losing my mother, but was still able to stay afloat for a long time without streaming. I neglected Streamate so much that I stopped making as much as I once did on there. I stopped feeling motivated to spend more than an hour or two online, bailing whenever it got dead. I decided over the past week to slowly start increasing the amount of time I spend online, solely focused on streaming and nothing else. I ended last week with a total of 15 hours online. This week, I've already surpassed that amount. I hopped on SM early in the afternoon and didn't stop until I accumulated 9 hours online total. I've already made more than I did last week as well.
Reading this thread inspired me to pull this off. I was able to conjure the discipline and motivation necessary to get my butt back in gear. No more excuses about being tired from school, no more wallowing in sadness for days at a time. Thank y'all for posting about your trajectories online, it inspires more people than you could ever know. Despite how excruciatingly slow it was for me this afternoon, I almost tripled that amount of money in the evening. Wouldn't have happened if I had given up!

Argh it's already 10am and I'm still not ready. I guess my 12 hours will be 10:30 to 10:30 lol. I will probably end up working longer than that... we'll see.

I hear you. I rarely have a $500+ day if I don't put 10-12 hours. Only when I am lucky to catch a good reg or a new member, once in a blue moon. Otherwise, my average 6-8 hours days are at $100-$200 ish.
The competition is tough, I am looking at stripchat. Fucking stripchat has 7000 models online. I don't wanna know how many models are on sites like chaturbate or streamate. It's not as easy to make good money, in a few hours, as it was before.
