I made money on a token site!! Like for the first time ever, I made enough to be kinda proud of myself. It was MFC and it was SO MUCH FUN! I'm all pumped now thinking of ideas for different ways to enjoy the site. I struggle so hard with MFC and CB but I am stubborn as fuck, and not one to give up until I figure it out. WooHoo to me!

I couldn't sleep so I went on SM at like 3am PST and I made a good chunk of change before I had to get ready for an interview. Also, while I was dealing with my raging headache yesterday I set up a clips store and purchased verysoft. Yay!

I am doing this new thing where I get out of bed in the morning and make money before noon. AND IT'S WORKING! It means I miss fewer shifts by getting distracted by activities and nice weather in the afternoon and I have more hours to cam because I don't get tired.

I finally updated my lingerie wardrobe a smidge. 6 new pairs of panties, 2 nighties, and a chemise/pantie set. I feel so good not having to wear the same 3 or 4 outfits I've been wearing for weeks, trying to mix them up in creative ways. I'm sure my custies will enjoy seeing me in something new as well. It felt so good to have all my bills paid and have enough left over to buy cute sexy clothes for work, without dipping into the laptop upgrade savings fund.

That's so awesome Bootsie! I have to do the same thing myself, Because new roommate Wakes me up At 8 in the morning, Even though she knows I work late at night. Oh well. It Just means I need to switch my sleeping schedule so I'm up at 4 a.m., Instead of going to sleep At 4 a.m. . If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this, i.e., how to Switch my sleeping schedule completely I would be so happy to hear your suggestions. Or should I start a new thread about this subject?

IDK if this is what you are looking for, but I downloaded an app called Time Tune and it is literally everything to get me on schedule in general. Very simple and easy with a great little customized visual reference. Took me ten minutes to plan my life and sleep schedule and it's so easy to refer back to. When I am like "wait what am I supposed to be doing right now?" just check the app. It doesn't clog your phone trying to sync with everything else and it doesn't go off with annoying notifications constantly like every other scheduler/task manager app I've used in the past. Hope that helps. :)

My suggestion is get off an hour earlier every couple days as you feel comfortable. It will take awhile to do this but it should be easier than just trying to jump into a new schedule. I most certainly don't suggest trying to stay up all day to try and get to sleep earlier the next time. That always leaves me more drained and my patience meter doesn't even exist when I have tried that. Good luck :)

I FINALLY jumped on the splitcamming bandwagon and split Bonga and CB. I purposely did it during a time when I am not usually on as I wanted to iron out the kinks. It went rather smoothly other than losing feed every so often on CB. A quick refresh and back to normal though. It certainly made being on Bonga a lot easier. I found I could stay on longer because I was entertained enough by the guys on CB. Yay splitcamming :)

^^ we're on the same boat! That's great news! I'm a little nervous but going to give it shot this weekend. Hyori's instructional video came out at just right time. My number one site in CB and I think I'll start with Bonga as my number 2 site. Soon, I'd like to add MFC and split 3 sites. I do have a question and will post it on the split cam thread too. What do you do if you get a private on Bonga? I guess I could just keep CB going because the guys do keep tipping? I've just never noticed a break button on CB, but I guess it doesn't matter.

I've finally got all the eggs I aimed for in my basket! 4 cam sites and a content site which is making $$ every day. It took me a year to get here. I started camming on Dec 28th and I started on SM. I then added MFC (which isn't my #1 but still a good egg) CB (which is tied with SM for $$ I do very well here and enjoy it a lot) and Bonga (not quite as good as CB but doing well). I feel very comfortable and confident at last and I'm ready to start split camming. I found a studio apartment, put a hold on the next available one for April/May. I'll have so much more freedom to cam and make videos then.

You are doing awesome lady! I want to get on the split camming train as soon as I upgrade this laptop which is very close to happening (another little victory!) I'm also going to be moving to my own place right around April/May. When my roommates were gone on vacation for 3 days I realized how much more productive I was without their distractions. They are fine with what I do, but just having other people in the house can be a huge distraction.
My little victory today - it's kind of sad, but I will take it. I had 2% paid chat on Streamate after 5 hours, officially the worst I have ever done. I made 51 tokens on Chaturbate in 4 hours. I was literally ready to cry. But I regrouped, did some Law of Attraction thinking (even tho I am not sure I officially believe in all that hooplah. I am kind of a raging atheist. But the power of positive thinking, that might be a thing.) Anyways I figured what the hell, put in a couple more hours on Streamate and finished the day at 8% paid chat. Sucky on a normal day, but on a day like today I will take it. My longest show the guy took me premium which I charge double for, so that really boosted my bottom line big time today. When I get frustrated I have to remind myself that it only takes one person to turn the day around, and you never know who the next big whale is going to be.

Was able to hustle and save $1,850 within 7 days for bills. Feels great to be able to pay rent on the 1st for once again, lol. Whew! That and my 2 for 3 special netted me $500 ca$h from my indy regs in less than 45 min. I love this job. I wrote it in my journal, affirmed it, and told the universe that this would happen; and it did. :D

You could keep going or you could put a password on your room, or sell tickets to the show? Not sure how that app works though if you can see while already in a private or what>

I haven't smoked for three days so I expect it'll get easier from now on and I'll probably be able to work again later today (have been crazily restless and jittery and anxious). I used to smoke about 4 cigarettes an hour while I was on cam so it'll be interesting to see if anyone notices that I've quit.
And, you know... beyond work... it'll be a personal victory too. (I've done this before so I know it's not impossible, I'll just have to try harder not to relapse this time.) I look forward to having more energy, better skin, being able to do things for my health without smoking hampering me in every aspect. Whenever I do something addictive I seem to take it to the point where I don't enjoy it anymore; I can't have like half a pack a day, if I do smoke it gradually goes to like... 40 a day or something. At that point you don't derive any pleasure, it's just a nervous distraction. Anxiety and impulse control issues I suppose. Always seem to feel more clear-headed when I quit. More relaxed too, despite what you'd expect.

I love this thread. I think it's so important to have a place to be proud and positive even when you're not balling.
My victory for this week is the fact that despite:
1. My cat getting put down
2. Quitting smoking and going insane
3. Having such a fierce and horrible fight with my insane housemate that I actually left home overnight
I've still managed to make my rent, and so far I've made about twice as much hourly that I did last week.

And congrats for quitting smoking.You will feel much better after cravings are going to dissapear.I kind of quit too,well,I quit cigarettes and keep on e-cig which isn`t half as harmful as normal cigarettes are,my health improved in just about 4 months.Best decision I could make.I even tried a cig two weeks ago in a moment of anger,hell,I don`t like them anymore,they taste awful after you`ve not smoked for a few months.

Must feel great knowing you won't be spending the money on cigarettes too. I really need to work on this myself. Have any plans for what you will do with the "extra" money from not smoking?

I quit recently as well and I decided to use the savings as a way to pay off my credit card. It's about $10 a pack for what I was smoking, so more than a pack a day REALLY adds up quickly. In a couple months I'll be debt free and able to comfortably afford a car payment just because I'm not smoking. Yay new car!!

Haha, good question! I've been smoking roll-ups so I'd estimate I've spent about... £30 a week on smoking. I really haven't had much actual "spending money" recently. I like just buying inexpensive but satisfying stuff, you know, nice incense, clothes to cam in, books. I fucking love buying books, crazy to think that I can get a brand new read or a cute top for the price of a packet of cigarettes. (Smoking is insanely expensive in London, think $13 a pack.) I think actually treating that money as "extra money" that I can spend instead of holding onto will be quite rewarding. I'm usually quite frugal, so I want to do something nice for myself.

This is a bit bigger than a 'little' victory, but after almost 2 years of camming I feel like I have finally cracked the nut that is earning a reliable, sustainable income each and every month. Oh, I still get slow days of course, but they are not a big deal when you are making $200+ days somewhat reliably. I am front page SM and CMD and sometimes I have more business than I can handle in one day!
This time last year I was making between $150-$250 a week- if I broke $300, it was a 'good' week. Lately I've been making between $600-$800/week- by no means enough to justify buying my dream car or anything, but enough that I can comfortably pay all my bills and have a bit left over for savings and little things that make my life more enjoyable- a cute outfit, makeup and skincare products, tasty and nutritious food, books I've been meaning to read, that kind of thing.
Other than the lottery that is finding solid regular clients, the key things that have helped me triple my income have been logging a consistent amount of hours (20-30 hours/week within the same general time frame every day you log on) and not being loyal to just one site. Streamate isn't a barren wasteland where there's no money to be made just yet, but it isn't reliable enough to make it your one and only 'main' site, unless you are one of the top models on there. My 'good' days on there, I can earn about $100 in 4 hours, but the bad days where I earn pocket money are far more frequent. Woman cannot survive on Streamate alone! Find another site to make money on while tumbleweeds blow through your free chat because sometimes, the earning potential just isn't there.
I am sooo excited and pleased that after 2 years of hustle, frustation, second guessing myself, trial and error, and relative poverty, I am finally earning enough to carve out a real life for myself. It's a blessed feeling.

I've been stalking this site for the longest, sometimes participating in the threads. But I'm happy to say that I finally, after almost 3 years of knowing about camming, completed a full two weeks of camming on SM, making $300 both weeks (which is ok to me, I have a day job). Its been a hard 3 years, my first boyfriend brought me all my toys when I first started, but was extremely controlling; he only wanted me to cam when he was around. My second boyfriend told me I had low self-esteem for wanting to cam; he was also pretty racist and sexist (something I learned after we were together for a bit).
Needless to say, I'm with neither of those two idiots anymore, I quit my irritating higher paying vanilla job in customer service, with its irregular hours to work for a non-profit with consistent hours. And I get to actually cam because my schedule isn't crazy.
That's victory enough for me
