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.
Bad things always seem to come in threes. Congratulations girl, keep up with the lack of tobacco and I'm sorry to hear about your cat.

:great: Congrats!
I don't usually last longer than 2 hours. Burnt myself out with too many 8 hr days when i first started camming.
And also have done one too many camathons.:bored::tired:

Logged on for one hour despite a mysteriously red eye and a cough. I've been really mired in depression these past couple months, and my subsequent lack of good income is really stressing us out. I need to really pull myself together so here are my small victories for the week:
Worked 5 days in a row, no matter how short a shift.
Made over $500 this week.
Attempted to tackle my tax paperwork.
Did some housework.
Discovered great new low-maintenance camming hairstyle.
Shit could be worse. I am doing okay. And I will get better.

My rash is almost cleared up. So I can finally get back on cam. I have been doing custom work this entire time but not enough to pay the bills.

The fact that I'm even online right now, having run a high fever for the past two days, is a victory to me. (I reached a small follower count goal on twitter too - 250.)
Sometimes it's healthy to stop and think about what you want and why you want it, otherwise you just keep working into infinity, like a machine. Here is what I want:
I want to make enough money in little enough time and in my own hours that I can spend most of my time focusing on my art and meeting new people.
I don't really need to be rich, I just want to have some time to live.
I can't imagine any other way this is going to happen besides working in the obscenities, so here I go.

Been making zilch on AW for ages and in less than 15 mins had 3 people in my room and made £40. Not the best I've made on AW but definitely encouraging, especially since it's the daytime!

I've had a couple of small victories this week.
Today I was in the zone all day! I felt sensual and sexual and damn fine and people fucking noticed, and I had a great time.
Secondly, I've brought in $100 each of the three days I've worked this week (which after working on SM and only have a realistic goal of $30 is AMAZING)
Thirdly, I did my first roleplay today (soccer mom from next door and college kid home for the summer) and I. Fucking. Nailed. It. He bought 17min and only had to use 5. It was AWESOME!
Also, I've sort of come clean with my boyfriends family with what I do. (sort of being the key words here) but it still feels better than having to pretend to be working retail. :)

I put in my first real shift all month last night and my victory is:
1) I did it.
2) I made a crazy good decision to upgrade my hardware. Being able to use SM Broadcaster and get running faster is paying off like crazy. It paid for itself in that one shift (Not even counting the few hours here and there I put in since the new year.)

Not sure if this is super awesome to anyone else, but I got this random gold show request that I thought was just a tv spot. Turns out it was one for page 1 spot 1! I didn't even know that happened. Super random and frakking awesome! Made my day!

Completely non cam related but EFF YOU carburetor! I did it! I finally did it after months of putting it off and not knowing what to do. Never done it before ever and I figured out how to do it all by myself. I wont actually be able to test it if it runs right (and it probably wont) or a while but just getting it back together and watching the linkage work as it should makes me feel so good! Yaaaaay!

I got a new laptop!! WOOT! It's not the ultimate or anything but it's a zillion times better than the old one. Going from an i3 amd-a6 to an i7-6700hq. From 4gb of ram to 16. It's so much better in every way so far, except the learning curve getting it set up. Anyways this has been on my agenda forever and I'm so relieved.

Oh girl...you are going to be so happy camming. I went from I think an amd8 to an i7 6000 something and it was a huge jump in placement for me. Good luck!!

Now if only I could get the SM broadcaster to set up. After I download and install it, it never actually launches. Just sits there thinking indefinitely. I'm sure it's a user error but Im just so excited! :) Thank you!

So this guy asked for a free preview, which I never do, but he said that I didn't even need to be in front of the cam, so I figured why the fuck not. I had an awesome earnings night so I was in a good mood and indulged him. After the preview he started asking me if I did other stuff (that I don't do), then decided that he really needed that stuff and was on his way. I felt kind of bummed about that because everyone who has ever gotten a preview (though the rest were paid, with one similar exception) has loved what they saw and went on to pay for a show and I don't know, it wasn't a huge deal but I wasn't thrilled about it.
Guess who came back 40 min later and decided that he wanted a show anyway? The streak remains unbroken!

Ya it's super cool before u even click accept for a t.v show they put ur room in the #1 spot to bring in the most traffic possible since they have to pay u if u don't make the goal...

TV spots are always page 1 spot 1 I think.
I'm not sure why they are making a big deal about this now by pointing it out but they seem to be promoting it like it's new when it's not. Maybe it's because they aren't the big moneymakers they used to be and they offer so little money now.
My little victory is that I am waiting for a phone call about a home loan which didn't come Friday and somehow have managed not to freak myself out this weekend while waiting for Monday to get here. I really really hate waiting for news.

When t.v shows first started the owner was like."Do u think we should put t.v shows in the #1 spot to give them the most promo and traffic so everyone more easily will make there goal"
I said Ya sounds like it would help also give ppl on pages farther back a chance to be seen in the #1 spot therefore making accepting a t.v show for them even more beneficial then just getting a guaranteed show but gain some fans that may have not otherwise found them..

I don't understand? how do you do 90 hours of customer chat time in a day? am I missing something? there is only 24 hours in a day? Is that from a lot of referral commission?

That is amazeballs! I think my personal highest day was like $290 or something like that. Although I did make $150 in 4 hours last night, which is pretty damn high for me. Usually it takes me like 10 hours to hit that.

Yes Yes Yessss!!!!!!!
Finally after months off running to every makeup store and searching online I have found a lipliner that is ALMOST identical to the one I hav e been using everyday for 3 years and has been taken out of production
Best part is is only costs 1dollar!!!!
I have been shopping buying 20dollar pencils... finding out later on that the color is just a bit off which makes it look rubbish
Wohooo I can do my nude lips again, just when my LAST pencil was almost used up (I was hording them like crazy so I still had 6 months of pencils when they took it out of production)
I didn't get to work Sunday since I had to take one of my pets to the vet. Then today I was tired as fuck all since they still think 5 am is 6 am from the time change. BUT, I managed to get my ass online and work today and had a great day!

Fuck yeah to all of these things!
When I'm in the zone it totally reaffirms why I cam. And getting it out in the open (even if not fully) always is such a relief, even if they don't take it super well.
I love this thread. My small victory today: After working 8 hours today, I was still $60 shy of my goal... I decided to stay on for one more hour and actually made it! woohoo!

So I would really love to hear about your little victories, in camming and in life. What little wins have you had? Time to brag about the little things.
OMG, I actually got a child support payment! HOLY SHIT... About fucking time! It's been since forever. I'm not even sure how long this money has been on my card, because I'd just given up on even checking the balance anymore. But for some reason, I decided to check the balance just now, and there's $1,700+ on there. My son turns 13 next month, so this is really great!

I've had the new laptop nearly a week, and wishing I had invested much sooner. Before I was getting $9-$12 an hour, and a great day was $20-$25. Now I'm getting $40-$60 an hour, and my worst day this week was still $17 an hour. For the record that's $2 more an hour than the vanilla job I quit to start camming. Excited to see if that number goes up after the move when I will have much faster internet.

I know it isnt much of a victory but i got back to working the long hours and sticking out my normal late shifts like i did before and putting in the hours is paying off. Been difficult living with people but i said hell with it im going to do my hours i need to in order to save to get my own place, im tired but i am back to my old schedule and feels good to have some kind of consistency again.

I logged onto Streamate for the first time in 3 years... and got my first private! I was SO confused because it said "paid chat" and not "private" that I didn't really give the guy a show... he just asked to be my sugar daddy. LOL. I calculated how much he spent on me and it was about $40 for just talking and barely showing my face. Too bad I only get about $12 of that... but still! :D
Thanks, Streamate! And fake blonde wig! LOL

It's the time of year when hornets start sneaking into my office while I'm working. I'm super allergic, so it usually forces me out of my office until I can bomb/get someone to get rid of the bastard for me. No more! Started carrying point and spray insecticide and hit that sucker dead on. Turns out it was a queen looking to nest. #byefelicia #issa'sstillworking
