Aaand, this guy became my BFF ;D;D
I simply am not able to track my breaks, sometimes I forget when I logged in and how much I was on. So, I use this online timer (again... I was using it before, but forgot about it).
I set my time goal and then I pause it when I have a break (aka, when I log off session on all eggs, not when I have a private on one and have to close the others).
Much better, now I know exactly how much time I got left and it actually forces me to take less breaks because I realise at what hour I am gonna finish the shift if I keep doing that, lol.
As that being said, I can track how much I stay the fuck on :)).

I'll be home alone for two weeks in... Two weeks and I planned to make a camathon. Non stop camming until they come back. That will be the first one !
And thank you for this thread ! I'll stay the fuck on tonight, and i'll write some motivational shit to get through that haha.

Oh the timer is a great idea! I have been forcing myself with a clock but I still log out for breaks.
I really love you guys on this thread. Always full of motivation and good ideas.

Hello girls. I am online literally two hours and made 10$ ...ugh.. And the only thing I have in mind is "Log off, read book a little, have a nap and try again". Bad thing is sometimes my naps between shows are full sleep of 8 hours haha. Also I need to make my goal of 150$ in the next 24 hours :/ Last time when I really woke up about 4 AM to work after a nap I made more than at night before that and now I am using this as an excuse to tell them all to fuck off and take my book. :D

Yesterday, I stayed the fuck on, only because it was too hot to go anywhere, and my car overheats whenever it is.
So happy that I not only made my daily goal, but exceeded my weekly goal!

It's been a BRUTAL week for me! This is the slowest I've ever seen! But I decided last month to turn my life around, put in the hours, pay off my debts. It's been slow as fuck but I've been putting in my hours every day and it's paying off :)
I'm so happy and proud of myself! I'm not making $$$$ like crazy, but I AM making enough to pay all my bills on time and for once, not stressing about making my goal! I never thought I could sit in free chat for 4 hours on a slow day, but I have been doing it; it's so motivating to see my bank account fill up slowly and no late payments for my bills finally!
I can't share this kind of stuff with my family, but I'm so happy this forum exists and you ladies are so motivational :')

I usually have no problem with staying the fuck on...except when Streamate has contests. It's just too brutal. I made it 3 hours today...all split up, about an hour at a time. NOPE
AnnieSimon
06-26-2018, 12:04 AM
Uh oh... I failed miserable last night... 3 hours = 3 $ ..couldn't believe it at decide to take a nap.. then woke up one hour ago hahah
So I am back on.. I have 5 hours before I have to go somewhere, so.. must stay on until then!
My motto lately has been "just stay the fuck on". I've been trying to be consistent with my earnings each week and have a set amount each day I need to make to reach those goals. Days where I could have easily logged off and posted in the "camming sucks" thread turned into a "camming rocks" because even though at some points during the day I would have rather stabbed myself in the foot with a rusty fork than stayed on cam, I did until I met my goal and camming rocked that day because of it.
When I first started camming I read like crazy on this forum and saw a lot of girls who log off for the day if it's slow. I took that advice a little bit too far and as soon as things would slow down I would log off for the day and I did that consistently. It wasn't until recently that I realized in order for me to be successful at this business I need to put in the hours and be consistent that way. I'm all for taking a 15 minute break every couple of hours to recoup... but no more giving up for the day mid goal. I realized that the only thing keeping me from reaching my financial goals is me.
I thought it might be fun to start a thread with the motto. It's a bit of a combination of the "camming sucks right now" and "camming rocks right now" threads.
For example this is how my day went:
"Camming was slow and miserable this morning but I just stayed the fuck on and ended up getting 3 nice long exclusive sessions and made my goal early. Time for ice cream and netflix for a few hours before bed"
Post yours and let's encourage each other to just stay the fuck on lol }:D
Lol. Very nicely said. Thanks for this great thread. This was yesterday for me. Awful. They came and go like in the railway station. Ended up with $9 all day. Lol. But I am a beginner. Only 4 weeks camming.

I've been STFO and it's not making a blind bit of difference for the first time ever. I usually know that if I grind it out my daily goal will eventually come but lately, yeah no. Silence, begging, more silence, maybe a small tip, silence, begging, silence, bitching about my rates, whining, silence, begging... rinse and fucking repeat for hours on end.
I fall asleep at my desk in free chat and a small/big tip on SM will suddenly jolt me awake LOL.
DahliaSimone
06-26-2018, 10:12 AM
I stayed the fuck on and went from being stuck at $60 all day, to $120 thanks to a few back to back shows at the end of my shift. Took 9 damn hours, but I did it.....i will say that stfo doesnt always work, but sometimes it does. Normally I would have given in yesterday, broke out the weed, and said fuck camming for the rest of the day, but....I didnt want to start my week like that, especially knowing how bad Tuesdays and Wednesdays have been for me lately and with that fuckin SM contest all week. Hope I can have the same fortitude today.

I have to admit, that I was skeptical about the concept of staying the fuck on, when this thread first started.:-\ , However, after trying the method, I'm sold, because it's been working for me.:)
Every time I get frustrated, and want to log off. I take a mini break, and then hop back on.
I always end up making, if not exceeding my goal.
Most of the time, it's just a matter of waiting until my regs show up.

Are you asking me?
It's easy, because I didn't show my face.
So, I usually watch home shopping channels on my big screen TV, which is right behind my cam. Lol! To the guys, it seems like I'm looking at them.
In my experience, wherever I don't talk, and I ignore my room, is when I get show/tokens.
Seems counterintuitive to me, but, hey, it's worked for over 7 years, so who am I to argue?
I'm sure other girls will have a different way they handle it.

I generally don't talk unless guys talk to me. I will sit there, but smile or try to look like I'm just chilling, even if I'm screaming on the inside :) I try not to look like I'm bored / angry. Listening to music I like or reading entertaining articles can help!

I'm having a glass of wine and then logging the fuck on/staying the fuck on for at least 5 hours. Money wise, I have zero expectations. Whatever happens, happens. Now is the most important time to push myself because I don't ~feel~ like logging on, and I need to break the habit of acting based on emotion instead of discipline. I'm mostly logging on because I want to keep my word to myself. I'm not going to allow myself to be weak and wimp out after an hour, either. Doesn't matter if I spend the next 5 hours reading, watching captioned Netflix, browsing SW, working my texting sites, taking selfies for social media, or staring at a screen. Bottom line is ...5 hours, no excuses.

I still have a little more than half my goal to make before logging off. I would rather crash but I want to see if this morning will be profitable so I'm taking breaks and staying the eff on.

Last week was rough, but I decided to take a new, more positive approach, as well as 'staying the fuck on' and it has paid off the last two days. Saturday was rough, all day, but I stayed on and worked my first ever late night shift and it rocked! Def. going to keep stfo and adding those nights to my split shift!

Last week was period- ish week. I hate that a month I am perfectly fine during period, the next month I can be awfully sick, no energy at all and in pain. Last week was that bad one. Obivously my schedule screwed, I only worked 3-4 hours'ish a day. I was able to work only 4 days and the earnings were embarrasingly disastruous :))).
This week, I aim for 10 hrs per day, since I can only work 4 days, again. And I saw what 3 hours a day of work means in my pockets :))).

I want to log off so freaking badly, but I told myself I have to hit an hours mark, even if there are 0 people in my room, my placement is shitty (SM still totally has placement, I don't care what they tell me re: smartplacement). I need to cultivate discipline!

So glad I found this thread! I am a serial offender of logging off when it gets slow. From now on, Im practicing this. Ive done it before and it has worked wonders, Time to get back into the swing of things and hustle. thanks ladies!

Yesterday I felt like shit all day, couple with zero shows....but, I stayed my course, stayed on and a very very nice guy got me to my low goal on SM taking me for a long pvt just....talking. No sexual stuff, just talking. I needed that after such a long, fruitless day. It may have taken 9 hours, but I stayed on and I made it.

My favourite thread - help me so much when it's slow to read for your succesfull "stay on" stories. Here is mine from yesterday :)
I decided to log on even if it was morning, because I have bills that won't wait my mood to be "right". It was slow, so two or three times I logged off and on. But then in the last minute when I decided "Ok, 10 more minutes and if I am still earning nothing I will log off and read a book" one of my regulars showed up, did my goal, made me very happy and then a new guy took me for a long show and my favourite type of private - when the guy just want you to have fun, and don't tell you what to do :)) So, short story - staying on paid well this day. Now drinking my coffee and gonna do this again today :) Good luck all!

What I've found is staying on to make hourly goals make me so much more money and eases my attitude and anxiety rather than sitting down on cam anxious to make my daily goal. I've done rough calculation and thought I was working for days and days. Then when I started counting up the hours I was on cam (no breaks, no ragequits with a 3 hour break) and discovered I was actually making more than I thought and only worked for about 30 hours, not even a full day's work. I now aim for 60 hours but this is because all my work is sit down anyways so it actually aids me to sit on cam and do work that I need to do.
I'm kind of a potato and I don't entertain unless I'm tipped to or I'm talked to. Before I would be doing all sorts of stuff to tempt men into tips. I discovered that sitting, putting on some anime/ a podcast/ doing hw/ working on my business/ brand and staying on for longer hours have not only made me reach my goal but excel in it.
Not gonna lie, it feels like I have to 'camathon' some days out of the week but as long as I STAY ON I always make it even when I look like poo on screen. But then I checked out this video about how much pornstars get paid and how long they have to stay at their shoots (some literally have stayed at their shoot for over 16 hours shooting) and how they built a big part of their world and business around it, and I have to say I agree- this job can be very rewarding, but it takes a hell of a lot of time, patience, and effort (getting on cam) to get the income you're looking for.

THIS! I'm a Streamate potato too and I zone out literally every shift, but my eyes aren't in the frame, so no one can tell I'm dead lmfao.
But seriously, this has been the most lucrative way for me to "stay the fuck on" to date. I get a lot of work done on my other sites by editing clips, creating PTV games for Niteflirt, texting sites, planning out my Twitter posts for the week, etc. And all the while I'll be logged into SM, so even on my $0 days, I don't feel the psychological burnout of not accomplishing anything.
Also, it seems like the moment I really do focus on another site and forget I'm streaming, I get taken to exclusive. If I in any way attempt to engage with free chat, I'm bombarded with timewasters and in-and-outs. God forbid if I were to just talk instead of type -- every time I try this, guys leave LOL.
I'm just happy I'm not the only one this works for. I'm always feeling torn about giving girls who work super hard in free chat this advice because obviously, that can be a way better hustle if you can get it to work, but I absolutely can't and this has saved me from logging out after 10 minutes of "dancing" and trying to chat up freeloaders. I can actually make it through a shift now lol.

Yesterday was so slow that I got scared. Like “what if my first week on cam was just a fluke and my girls and I are about to be homeless” scared. I had been on SM for 5 hours and had only made 64 bucks. I almost logged off but I told myself to at least milk $100 total out of these guys before calling it quits. Two hours later I left with $200 and all I could do was smirk and think about this thread.

I got on cam 3 hours late and am fast approaching my “quit at midnight no matter what” rule at 11:47. But, no. I should’ve got on on time if really wanted to avoid disappointment. Plus I have a goal to reach. Staying the fuck on.

Literally tipped 2 tokens and demanded that I stand up and show tits B.B. lmao momma doesn’t play that. So I’m just reading through here and making myself stay on....

Yeah. I'm changing shifts. Everyone keeps saying how hard summer is for a cam girl but gah damn, am I feeling that truth right now. 4p-12 ain't working. Dudes just want to talk. I'm going to sleep so that i can get on tonight, midnight-8am. I tried that shift just this morning and it worked so I'm switching it up and doing that shift again tonight because i just CANNOT stay tf on.

This summer has been a wreck train, regarding long hours online. Hikings, vacations and unexpected stuff. I was barely able to make my time goals and it;s visible in the pockets.
My earnings dropped and haven't had new regs in a while, wich is a red flag.
I took a look at top models on various sites and my jaw dropped. They still pull at least 10-12 hours on cam. No wonder they make 5 figures a month.
That was a huge slap and back to reality call for me.
I decided to take it easy and work 12 hours/ day only 3 days per week and keep 2 days for working only 7-8 hours. Till I get used to the new schedule and figure out my time off cam.

Girl same. I'm Also going to do 3 days a week on an intense schedule and 2 days on 6hrs each. That way I get some time off each week to just live life and do what makes me happy. Been feeling major burn out from trying to work too much, failng at it and then getting upset about it. So although this may not net the huge money, it's better for my mental and physical health, both of which I need to be able to even make it on cam in the first place.

I have been doing 4 days a week .. 8 plus hours a day now.. I dedicate those days to camming only.. I try my hardest to get 10 hours a day in but I just can't right now.. so far so good.. I have 3 days off and I can actually get things done outside of cam now.. it's great!
