I started doing longer shifts and indeed, my earnings increased.
Now I average about 7 hours/ day.
But some day I am online 9 hours, then 8, then 7, then 8 again...depends.
Now I am working on having a 9 hours average per day/ 6 days per week.

I need this thread. I'm going to do a schedule for this week - the last two weeks I've hardly worked at all and I'm going to be broke the end of the month if I don't step it up.
When I'm doing housework or can't web I'm going to try direct chat/phone chat to just see if I can top it up.
I have things that will stop me this week that I need to workaround so going to write a schedule later and just stick with it.

I REALLY need to up my hours but I have such a difficult time even doing like 20/25 a week. So that's going to be my goal next week and forever. Reduce getting ready time by half and get the fuck on and stay there live and online streaming time, not like signing off to work on videos and counting that as hours worked. Such a bad habit of mine

Didn't make my cam goal this week, just my studying goal. Seems like it's either/or with me. *eyeroll*
OK, this week if I hit *both* the cam *and* the studying goals, I'm treating myself to a salon haircut. Desperate times, desperate measures, etc.

Ugh. I need so much help with this one. I feel like, while I love SW, and this is an excellent thread among many other awesome threads, I just need to chat with girls personally when I do this. I miss the old chat here and miss having a live chat with other camgirls so much, that TRULY motivated me to be online so much more, and now I'm just like, meh. No one to talk to while I stare at Streamate for 8 hours, guess I'll go do XYZ instead. Okay girls, starting tomorrow, it's on! I need to do at least 40 hours, which would be the most I've ever done. Motivation, ladies, help!!

35hrs this week for me...going to be a hectic week personally, so 35 on cam will do me solid.

I really want to finally accomplish a 40 hour week, I have absolutely nothing going on this week aside from one pilates class so I have all of the time in the world to do it.

Do you always work 40? that's what I always aim for like a real job.
Was 3hrs shy of my 40 last week. So definitely 40 this week :)

I've got some heavy school stuff happening this week, so I need to pack most of my camming into the start of the week.
Trying for 6 hrs in freechat today, which is kinda at the limit of my body's endurance, but we'll see now it goes.
ETA: Christ on a bike, it's going to be a long day. Freeloaders are all out today...

^^So I ended up getting plagued with tech problems right after I made that post and got to do like no hours^^^. I think I will try for my 40 again starting tomorrow, I have always wanted to do 40 hours so I could see what I'd actually make doing 'real job' hours. I literally start going nuts by hour 2 on cam though, if it's slow I get super frustrated and log off early and if it's busy I get too tired from all the shows and log off early lol.

OK, this week has been very full-on with uni assessments etc, but somehow I've already hit my 16 hrs each of camming and studying, and I'm not even that tired. Whoop! (Unfortunately, I can't afford my reward of a salon cut and colour, because it's been a slow-ass week, but the reward is only delayed, not cancelled.)
I'm taking next weekend off, so I need to fit some extra hours between now and next Friday morning. I'm pronouncing today the start of a new week, and am going to try for 24 hrs on cam and 20 hrs studying by the time I leave for my friend's big party. It's feels like a stretch, but not that much of a stretch.

Just came back from vacation, feeling a bit low. I'm going to take it easy on myself to be honest. Missed y'all

Hit my hours goal, though not my money goal. However, I'm now off for the weekend, and feel like this break is well earned. Wheeeee!

Um, LOVE this idea. I need this so much, I've just been casually getting on whenever. I'll think I'll start a schedule starting tomorrow night :)
Also, some of you girls work so insanely hard, it is so inspiring.

My hours are all messed up this week because of the weekend off, plus it's Pride next Saturday. Looking fwd to a week of weekday daytime camming, meep!
Anyway, the goal is 16 hrs in freechat plus 16 hrs studying.

I try to log on by a certain time, and then stay on until either time online or money goal is met, with as many breaks as I need, depending on how intense my shows are. The time I log on can differ depending on school commitments, or whatever sports events may be happening.
For example, today I was online by 12.30, a bit behind schedule. Early on, I had an extremely athletic 20-min riding show, and needed like half an hour to recover from that. I had a 15-min lunch break a bit later, and some other sundry breaks. Overall, it took me about 3 hrs of streaming to make goal, stretched over 4.5 total hours.

I went on a bender over the weekend and got myself so knocked out that I'm only going back into work today. 2/25 :P

Right, I had to go away for a week, and now, of course, I'm suuuuper reluctant to log back on and do my hours like a grown-up. Time to forget about money goals and measure success in hours again for a while.
This week I need 20 hours on cam and 20 hours of schoolwork, between today and next Saturday. (Hours when I'm doing schoolwork while logged into non-free-chat sites do *not* count as both, though I'm not sure how to count them. I'll work it out.)
So far today: 0/20; 2/20.
ETA: 4/20; 2/20, and that's quite enough for today.

*bumping this thread as I need to get my butt into gear
I have to start taking this job seriously. I do not plan on camming forever but while I am I need to put 100% into it.
I plan on doing 6 hours of free chat 6 days a week. I will break those 6 hours into 2 shifts for 3 hours each. I will do 11am-2pm then do 10pm-1am
Also plan on being available for indy shows for 10 hours a day including cmd, nf, livecammodels, skyprivate and my own advertisements. I will be available from 11am-1am but will take some breaks between for lunch, dinner, time to spent with the girlfriend...etc
I know that if I put in the time the money will come, so far I have only been making enough to pay my bills and sometimes that is even tricky trying to figure out. Time to step it up!
For the rest of the week my schedule is as follows
Thursday 7/21- 3pm-1am be available for Indy shows
10pm-1am Free Chat
Friday 7/22- 11am-2pm Free Chat
11am-1am Indy Shows
10pm-1am Free Chat
Saturday 7/23- 11am-2pm Free Chat
11am-1am Indy Shows
10pm-1am Free Chat
*Will update after each shift

Bumpity bump!
I try to be on 7 hours a day, Monday to Friday; I rarely do weekends as I like to keep it for my mates, bf, and family.
@Slothy: How are you getting on with your studying schedule? I read a few pages back and saw how you were mixing it up. I am about to start an online Master (I need 15-18 hours per week to study, apparently) and I am really unsure how best to work out my time. Like you I fin I end up giving all my energy to one, and barely anything to the other! I have given up my voluntary jobs as I need to concentrate on earning when I am not studying.
Really don't want to spend less than 30 hours on cam per week. Does anyone turn off free chat (if working AW, for instance) and study while not in paid or is it too distracting?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :heartbeat: xxx

when I was studying I'd turn free off on AW and study between shows :)

Thank you, lovely.
Did you find you could still cam full-time doing that? I know they'll be times, like when I am doing assignments, where I might need to concentrate just on studying. xx

Like you I fin I end up giving all my energy to one, and barely anything to the other! I have given up my voluntary jobs as I need to concentrate on earning when I am not studying.
Basically, my brain can't cope with going from a full day's studying to a shift in freechat. If I have to physically be at uni for the day (twice a week at the moment), the only work I plan to do that day is pre-booked Skype or PSO.
On the days I don't have to go to uni, I hit the books 9-12, and then do cam-related stuff 12-7. (This is not a 7-hour shift in free chat - more likely there's 2-3 hours of freechat if necessary, at most, but I'm available for shows on AW).
Make sure to take quality rest. Working and studying rarely leaves people a chance for 2 full days off in a week, but try to have at least a couple of days with only some light reading or some gentle PSO for a couple of hours and nothing else in the afternoon.
Don't beat yourself up if you don't get a perfect schedule right away, that stuff takes experimentation!

Thank you, my love!
That is a great help.
I like the idea of committing to study in the mornings, then a steady shift on cam, maybe finishing a bit later; then mix it up if I prefer to cam in the morning. Might be best to start with the study like you do, though! As if I put it off, anything academic gets less and less likely - ha!
Maybe on the lighter reading days I could just have free chat off, and be available for indie and AW.
I do still try and keep the weekends free though I may have to start doing a couple of hours study on Sunday afternoons. xx

If you can make morning camming work for you, you may find that easiest! When I was doing my MSc, I was still in a vanilla job - I'd head into the office for 8, be finished by 12, then dash to uni and do my studenting after that. It was great!
I can't make any money on cam in the morning at all, otherwise I'd be doing it that way around.
If you need help, message me any time; I've been a peer support and learning skills tutor for a few years now. I'm not a champion camgirl, but I've got that studying shit down :)

Mornings are hit and miss for me. I rarely work late nights but I tend to make it work when consistent. x
