I'm cleaning UP today! So funny how it all comes at once. Made $1.2k today, 2k total for the week.

Well, the good news is that I'm squarely on target for the challenge in terms of hours, and doing pretty well from it financially as well.

The bad news is that I've just been handed a really hairy assignment at uni, which would ideally have me spend exactly the same number of hours studying as I do camming each week. I don't know if I can handle a 48-hr work week, fatigue & depression have been kicking my butt all winter as it is, and I don't want to get to summer totally burned out.

I'm going to need a new plan of action.

I am in exactly the same boat, my love.

Possibilities to bank are just trumping quality study time at the moment.

My new plan is to start early - like 7 am early - and then to a shift through until lunch, do my workout and a couple of hours study time. then jump on or a few more hours in the evening if I want/need to make more, but not after 10 on weekdays.

Just want to say well done to everyone who is soldiering on - you rock!
I have definitely surpassed my low goal, but not that close to high, either. I've been experimenting with evenings, but it's messing up my sleep schedule and I hate to admit it, but I prefer being an early bird.

My biggest obstacle is working off an older computer - so I am restricted in what I can split - that being only AW and Skype indie sites.
As soon as I get a new PC I will be able to maximise my hours online - hopefully working fewer hours, though more productively- I just have to accept that in the meantime, I need to put the hours in while I am restricted to one main site. :) X

Had to take some days off because I catched a cold, and in combination with my medication it will have stayed if I didnt rest properly (low immune system bec of the meds)

Came back online yesterday, because my finsub had allready been emailing me when I would be back

he told me he needed a big draining
and so we did!

I ended up making 436 on sm in 2 hours (of which 320 dollar was from draining him... he took a 55 minute excl and some tips while at excl)
47568
we continued on livecammodelshow, drained him for another 1200

1633 in one day
biggest day-paycheck ever in 4 years



I am so grateful for this thread,
because I have been back working my old schedule, which is really hard because I have to sleep at odd hours, and timemanage like crazy to catch some sunlight
but because of you all I picked it up and kept at it
and in the long run it always pays off

I Have fallen off hard core. Had some situations that affected my main hustle-- and I do not make nearly enough on cam to even come close to what I needed to achieve my goals. I won't be able to return to my main hustle until June-- so I have to say that I'm just not likely to make my goal this go around. Hopefully the summer/fall will be different for me.

@Ivy WTG, babe! You did awesome!

Ladies, don't give up, we still have a good 4ish months to get it in, especially because the summer could go either way. You got this!

It's shark week and last week was pre-shark week so I've slowed down a bit but I'm pushing through. Laying in bed nursing cramps (I took like 900mg total of extra strength Tylenol and can still feel pain so I dunno what's up) but I still managed to make over $300 so far, tonight.

Okay, it's March, as I wrote on the other thread, my Fall- winter challenge is over, I completed 90% of the challenge, wich is great for me.
New challenge:
Start date: 06 March 2017
End date: 06 September 2017
Low goal: $25.000
High goal: $40.000

I save for: renovations of the new apartament, one more car, pay a bit of the apartament amount, invest in my upcoming business.
The low goal will help a partial complete, while the high goal is going to help me keep the track with my bills and plans for this time frame.

Gotta keep hungry and keep pushing

Had a really rough week, and had to take multiple days off, hopefully it will pay off in better health so I can hustle harder this week.
Still not 100% better, but I have to get back on before I fall back to far

Going to make a new schedule and goalsystem to keep on track

We can do this!

This thread is keeping my ass in gear and I love it

Proud of you that you are getting that $ even though being in pain!
Great thing is that it will make hustling feel like a cakewalk when you are feeling all better again!

My challenge has gone completely downhill the past couple of weeks. I don't think I will be even hitting my low goal at this rate. I am keeping to my hours goal but the dollars just ain't stacking up right now.

BBS, if you are like me and falling behind on your first desired monthly goals because of whatever reason DON'T GIVE UP
Its gonna be hard, but it is still doable;
and if it isnt than readjust your goal so you wont be overwelmed and bummed out

I know I can hold on too a LOT of reasons to bail out, I can use my sometimes poor health (rheumatic backpain), the heavy medication I have to use because of it, negative people around me, my past etcetcetc
But I can also make the most of it, and decide not to hold back

I plan on making this my first Big year
(am grateful and cant complain about my previous years... but I want to surpass all my other years. I havent been able to put in a lot of hours, and want to change that for the better. More input, more investment, gettng bigger).
I hope to cam for another 10/15 years top, and I want to retire with a big fat bankaccount. Gotta make the most out of my younger years now, because I wont get them back. Every day pasisng is a day I could have used to build up towards my future/retirement

When you follow through and do the hours, invest in it, do the homework, read th Good books, watch seminars, pick up different sources of income (for me sm and skype and twitter) money will follow up. It will double if not tripple, in for me a lot of times Unexpected ways

Slowly getting back on track it's been a long winter that's all I've got to say! I'm not giving up got to keep pushing because even if I don't reach the goal I will still have some healthy earnings come June.

Hey everyone, sorry about my absence. I've been under the weather and was I'm trying to find the right balance between work and health. I gave my home a nice deep spring clean today to make the week flow easier, ironed out my schedule, and will be back to balling tomorrow.

My goal is up in about 15 weeks (less, actually) and I still need to update my ticker but I'm still going to hit the rest of this challenge HARD AF. I have plans this summer and have a ton of money, fitness, and emotional bridges to cross so I'm on my way and ready to grind full force these next 3-4 months. I

hope you are ALL OKAY! No matter how BIG your goal is, don't stop reaching for it. Keep going, the money/hours will be worth it at challenge end. I always have this roadblock during challenges where I hit a wall, or feel like giving up and abandoning the challenge because maybe the goal feels unattainable but I'm saying fuck all that. I'm riding this baby to the end no matter what and I hope you ladies are too. It's never too late.

Happy Sunday, ladies! I hope you're doing well and hustling those hours and making that money. Sunday's are my favorite days to milk wallets. The guys always seem the horniest and the weakest on Sunday. Probably trying to get a good nut in before the week starts, lmao. Let's clean up, today!

While I've been quiet on this thread lately, and I don't have a ticker or anything, I was able to make enough to pay off one of my debts in full already! I'm very relieved, and can feel the momentum building which puts me in a good frame of mind. With less stress, I seem to get more shows on cam :)

Congratulations! Doesn't it feel good? I haven't updated my ticker since Jan so I get it. Having bills paid and money in savings really diminishes stress. I'm so happy that you kicked ass and scored!

Thank you for keeping this thread going Kourtney! I am happy to announce that, thanks to Hyori's thread I am successfully splitting even on this crappy old computer lol. And my word does it work! I've been off for nearly a week with anti-anxiety med withdrawal but I am feeling good today and ready to smash my goals. X

Had to take dayss of bec of painfull uti. On antibiotics since today.. I am preparing to come back smachingg goals by cleaning up my camroom and rearranging it (which had to be done anyways), so I will be all set when I am better. ALso rearranging goals and crunching numbers and hourgoals so I can get to the finish

BTW i was planning to take a vacation, but I cancelled it bec of the medication I am taking (wanted to go to Indonesia, but it is to risky for me to go right now with my meds). So I guess I will have EXTRA time to earn that cash before the challenge ends! Which I am happy about!
I ma far behind on my goals, BUT i have 2 weeks extra (bec of cancelled vacation) and I am dedicated to work those extra hours, let do this!!

Whoooo! So glad you bbs are back and feeling a little better. I hope you both feel much better, soon so we can snatch these coins, together.

I traded yesterday for Saturday's day off. So on Saturday I'll do a half day so I don't miss out on earning something. I promised myself a weekly reward for sticking with my financial, fitness, and health goals so I'll take part of the early day to do something I enjoy out of the house.

Eager to see what today through Saturday has is store financially. I smashed out rent and groceries in 2 days but now it's time to bust ass for my other travel ticket.

You go girls!

Than you for the encouraging comments. If only you girls lived down the road and we could share a bottle of wine and enjoy our successes!

Oh lord, I hate UTIS. Never had them in my life then bam - since November 2015 I can't shake the buggers off. Feel better, Ivy. <3

I worked late last night - til around 2.30 am and did really well. I don't think I am going to do it often as it messes with my sleep too much (even if I find I need to stay on a bit longer during the day), but am thinking of mixing it up with 1-2 late nights per week as maybe I look new to them or something? Either way been on since this morning - doing OK - going to stay on until I feel too tired to continue and then work tomorrow morning too.

Do you ladies frequently go on late? X

heavymetalgirl
03-24-2017, 07:39 AM
^I do cam rather late, often past 2 a.m. US Eastern time, starting around 6-ish. Despite my best efforts, I'm absolutely not a morning person. I've tried to get up at the crack of dawn numerous times, but I just never feel well enough to cam at my best that early. I'd really like to be able to work a morning shift, however, just to see how it goes.

Arwen25
03-24-2017, 02:30 PM
I guess that's why it works, we are all at our best at different times. :)

I find it's a different clientele at night, I get a lot of younger UK guys.
The good thing is I manage to catch the US guys when I do Indie in the early hours.

Today and yesterday have been fab, have cammed for about 18 hours over today an yesterday and have made my rent, so that justifies having a few days of with my parents - yay!

I'm a fair way behind on my hours after 2 weeks of ill health. Been doing pretty well on the challenge up until now, and reaping the financial rewards, so I'm going to try a few extra hours this week to make my boss (ie me) happy again.

Arwen25
03-26-2017, 03:31 PM
2 weeks..that sucks. Really hope you feel better soon.:heartbeat

I'm enjoying not having to work through my period, and spend some time with my parents. Back to it on Thursday, and plan to get in hours in over the weekend, too.

I have an brand new i7 on the way, too! I cant wait!

I seem to be mended now, cheers! Migraines suck though, they can get straight in the bin.

So great to take guiltless time off, isn't it? I might bribe myself with a week or so off over Easter if I hit some kind of goal.

Life happens and that's def the spirit to not give up and keeping pushing - speak it into existence.

I been having on and off days were I'm just totally not focus or not feeling it. So been pushing through with that because when I'm not filling it I'm usually half assing and I'm not selling half ass anything.
So putting some extra pep in my step to make this money!!!! Not to mention to big bills surfaced and I do not need any extra debt so going to knock that out the way ASAP!

Teddy_Bear
03-27-2017, 01:28 PM
I am beyond behind and beyond frustrated with myself. To say I am not on track would be an understatement! Life has taken a complete nosedive in the past month and although my depressive states don't usually affect my ability to get on it has this time. I don't label myself with 'depression' but I do suffer from depressive episodes at times in my life and one hit me like a truck a few weeks ago, I haven't recovered.

Unfortunately I am the main breadwinner and me getting on when I'm not feeling it has resulted in bills, bills, bills piling up over my head and being a month behind on the rent! I have no idea how that has happened because I have been camming almost every day of the week but dollars have eluded me thus far barring a few days of really good earnings.

This evil vicious cycle has almost defeated me and I am still logging on every day but the bills are so vast now it feels like I will never be free of debt. Not to mention all the new debt I've landed in to try and keep my head above water!

This is a very ranty post so forgive me but sometimes you just need to get it all out and reading my optimistic post earlier in this thread has made me very sad.

I'm genuinely sorry you're going through all of this. It's so hard to work through depression; it happened to me in February, and the whole month was pretty much crap as far as earnings go. I did rebound from it, and I'm sure you will too. You have been an inspiration to me and I've learned a lot from reading your posts! Sending positive thoughts and vibes your way TeddyBear.

Thank you so much ladies (and the ladies who replied by PM) sometimes you just have a low day and need to let it all out. My night shaped up to be fantastic in the end (see Camming Rocks thread) so it looks like I was finally rewarded for sticking it out this month. As for being an inspiration all I can say, as I've said before on this forum is:
