STFO is supposed to turn out good, but for the whole day it's been total shit.
Ya I feel that so hard. It used to be pretty cut n dry, online = money, offline = not much maybe get a tip if you're lucky or a sale of some content. Online more = more money.
BUT NOW with all these sites having constant problems and leaning into more and more content creation and social media promo, when I go 30 mins without even a 'hello' I'm looking with a side eye at the stream ready to close it and start uploading stuff. When you can log on and have almost nobody even see your stream it's like why did I get ready at all and waste makeup ? Am I dumb ?
I guess what I am getting at is instead of JSTFO cam, its become JSTFO the computer,. Content wise, connect to someone in a msg or a mass email, write a video script or edit. If I've stayed online and its been a waste of time, energy, makeup I'm going to find a way to make it 'not a waste' and create something for the future.
I also need to check out success in previous years more often and adjust my schedule to it. I'm going to start marking on my calendar to take off every SM contest unless I am fine with making half of normal that day. It's crazy how often a high earning day for me is always high or busy, and a low earnings day years ago always dead year after year, despite the change in my overall streaming hours.

Going to try to STFO for 4 hrs today. I just don't have the patience anymore for how dead it is. If it's real bad after 2 hrs I'm getting the fuck off.
SM here we GOOOOO!!!l
Fuck this...44 min almost zero traffic. I'm taking today off!!!
I'm taking the night off too. Hit goal last night but just barely and it was too slow for me to stay sane. I have anxiety and BDD so whenever it's dead I tend to get self-conscious and start picking myself apart in my head and scrutinizing all my imagined flaws lol. Then I'll hide my face off cam and that in and of itself can sabotage my potential earnings, ugh.
I just need to relax tonight. Hopefully I will get enough offline tips to make up for it

I question myself when it’s quiet too. It sucks. I do try to keep looking at my good earning days to try remind myself I can make good money, and I will make good money again.
That being said, I’ve logged off after an hour at $20 hahaha. If it wasn’t for a good week last week and an alright OF week this week, I’d be fucked (or not fucked, as it so happens).

I do question myself too haha, is just a Shiite week. I barely have any traffic in my room or even Freeloaders or potentials this week. Something is cooking for sure. Am very disappointed, I am at 3 h and 17$. Jesus...
Update: nearly 4 h and 23$ - I am outta here, I don't know what the heck is going on but I have 0 traffic, 3-5 potentials where when everything is normal i have 30-80 constantly and at least a chatter. The whole week... oh well, is one of those weeks. Good luck ladies!

I used to think it was me, now I think it's the cheapness. I understand we're in a pandemic but men still have jobs to buy luxury things.
I think it's really brave & vulnerable of you to share that. It takes guts. Bravo!

If it makes you feel better, I have no illness/ disability, or anything like that and I still do and feel exactly on how you feel and exactly what you do. Right now I have a nice pair of stockings and a nice pair of heels and keep the webcam under my desk, because i feel too ugly. Like, i think my cellulite legs look better than my face, right now :))))). Let me tell you, it's natural to feel self conscious, especially in an industry like this, where we all fight to gain attention. Especially when you see what amounts others are making. But even those who make big money, are feeling self conscious, worried, anxious, afraid of what tomoroow brings (unless they lack any kind of self awareness, wich is not the most mature thing). Worrying is part of the game, considering we do a job that literally requires the most superficial assets to have. There's always a prettier, funnier one out there.
What helps me, is to let myself feel like shit, then work on my mind and try to transform myself into a better version of... ME. I try to stay away from twitter (there's always a few thousands $$$ tribute print screen, from content creators i legit know they do make those money), because sometimes, their success, instead of being inspiring to me, it puts me down. I ask myself "why do i feel like this?" and then start to change what i can change on the moment, to feel better.
Go rest and take your time. Be kind to yourself.

An hour into this STFO shift and $21. Not cool. Hardly any traffic and I've dropped 4 rows due to shitty hourly with so many hours streamed. I'm trying to make $1k+ but I don't think that's gonna happen, however...I'm gonna still fuckin try.
STFO 8 hrs total today. Lord, baby Jesus, Universe, Buddha: HELP lololllll

I have been on a break for one h where I filled myself and done my hair. At least to feel sexy. Utter shambles online but is some movement of traffic even if they all bounce back. I despise streamate this week, cannot wait for a second monitor to arrive next week and put my other laptop to work. Just cannot continue this roller coaster ride with Streamate only

I'm exclusive with SM too and when my earnings are poor I get very very angry. I try to practice letting it go. I have a few regs that I do customs and skype shows with, but the bulk of my income is SM. I hear you. I'm getting ready for a career change as soon as my settlement comes in. I have a lawyer and a bed bug case. It'll reach resolution soon. I'm biding my time.
This week has been absolute hell! I did better during contest (without my custom orders). YUCK!!!

01-29-2021, 08:45 AM
SM is my main site now too. I used to do AW and SkyPrivate but I hate both of them. Trying to focus a lot more on onlyfans lately so I have some passive income, but I do want to get the hang of NiteFlirt too eventually. I lost my indie clients when I deleted and changed all my profiles over to my new working name :(

I don't know what the heck is going on but I'm sitting for 20-30 min with no one. What the actual f**k? I called an engineer to check my internet tomorrow morning, maybe is my internet somehow again? I am stuck at 16$ for 3 hm no chance I will make 50 till midnight and I'm very tempted to quit my gosh.
Update- phew, a regular stopped by, 89$ now. Break and coming back soon. Need to make money for rent. Doh!

I went on break one hour ago to eat and be back shortly. I had another regular tipping me in free and I had a gold show with him. Only 2 -3 guys were coming in freechat and not saying a word. Surely something is amiss with this site. Anyway I am sitting at 237$. Maybe other regulars will stop by (please cam Gods). Good luck ladies!

So after bloody awful week of not wanting to get on, and only staying on for very little time. Being way behind for even my low goal. I made the effort today to try and bridge the short fall. I changed rooms, changed my style of dress and put a wig and more makeup than I usually wear.
I split cam between two sites and smashed through the low goal. Had a ball in fact. Soaking in a bath right now with a face mask on.

Do you find you can often hit $1k in 30 hrs on SM ? I find it usually takes me 40+ if it's a good week and my regulars are around but I have a really tough time even pushing 35 hrs on sm

I'm exclusive with SM. I find 35-40 hrs has me hitting $1k on a decent week. On a good week I can hit $1k in 30-35 hrs. This week however has been horrible and I'm just barely above $600 in damn near 32 hrs. Yeah, bad...but this time last year it was bad too.

However, I'm very tired and am taking off, early bed for me, this week was absolute nightmare every time I got on. I have around 30 h and very low earnings. Nevermind, cheers for a new week and hoping for the best!
