Starting to feel burnout with camming. I have been camming consistently on SM for over six weeks now since thursday Jan 7th. I tend to disappear from the cam world for months at a time due to various mental health reasons. It's been a hell of a reality check going from being comfortable for years barely having to cam thanks to longtime indie finsubs to now stressing the F out constantly. Looking at how many hours I put in on SM to make even a grand saddens me and I've been really debating making the switch back to MFC where the $ is better and faster but I get anxiety in front of lots of viewers. boohoo woe is me /endvent
Like moneybags said remembering to be thankful is so important right now (and all the time) and really brings me back down to Earth.
Self-care goal before cam is to clean up the house as clutter really adds to my stress & anxiety. I have the house to myself and clean so much better when my bf isn't around lol. Hope everyone has a great week
You're assessing what works & doesn't. This is good. Continue to believe you CAN do it & you will.

you can always consider getting a houselceaner to deepclean 2 x a month or something.
for me its been really helpful. but then again its cheap AF here for that ... but still...
its really nice to start work with a clean cam space and clean house.
try to hang in there. try to set some goals for yourself of something fun or a treat for the future after the pandemic.
also even picking up some face masks at sally's or a candle or something nice.. its really helpful to create your own spa for when you finish camming.

I spent a second night with M (a new guy who is on an alkaline diet, vegan, doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs) and we didn't have sex. I told him I don't have casual sex so he slept over without trying to fuck me the first night. Then I spent the night with him last night. No sex hahahaaaa.
He said he was disciplined and he is cause my nightgown is short and I don't wear panties. LOLOLLLL poor guy is such a good guy.
He took me to a vegan restaurant last night and got me an appetizer, 2 glasses of margaritas, and a vegan burger.
OMG, the taste is incredible. I just might go vegan!!!

Nice! Wish you a lot of happiness in your dating journey <3 He sounds like a stand up guy.
Blergh I am sick AF. Have really bad hay fever and the first attack of the year floors me. Started the day with a T shirt, then a long sleeve and now I am shivering with a sweater on under a blanket. Yes hay fever can get this bad, lol. Got told I just have a very strong immune system.
Did some self care this weekend. Did 30 minutes of yoga and still sore. But very proud of myself. Did a deep clean of the house and going to do some offline work tonight. Going to watch Violet Doll's findom coaching seminar, hope to learn something from it :)

Blegh still sick. Not allergies. I feel feverish and I have a tummy ache. Resting until tomorrow, then working if I still feel the same/better. Feel like Ive been run over by a train now. Think it might be a bladder infection or something. Loading up on cranberry juice, healthy food, vitamins and a lot of rest while watching Breaking Bad today. Hope y'all have a profitable day.

^^When I got a cold not too long ago it started as allergies it seemed (sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose) then it just lasted for 4 days. It was a cold, but with lots of echinacea tea, honey, lemon, and ginger I felt better.
I hate fevers. They are so uncomfortable. I hope you feel better soon. Sending healing energy your way <3

I meditated on the Thank You journey from Synctuition & cried. You are supposed to visualize someone who has been so kind to you whom you haven't expressed enough gratitude for.
I picked my inner child.
I'm still crying now. Great session with good stats.

UPDATE:
Wow, just WOW! I finished an exfoliation shower and a short detox bath as I had a third Reiki session performed by my new practitioner and I feel fantastic. I knew I was messed up tho: 3 chakras needed work and a couple were shaky.
Homework will be to work on Throat, Sacral, and Root chakras as they need the most attention. I've gotta get my canvases pronto so I can paint again: all orders are backed up due to the terrible storms recently. I also need to speak my truth. It appears holding my tongue for a while is not a good thing. I certainly don't have to tear someone a new asshole, but being assertive is always good. My Reiki Practitioner is amazing!!! I can't be thankful enough for her and her skills!!!
I'm taking the rest of today off. I had planned 5 more hours on MFC to learn the ropes, but I'm putting it off. I NEED to self-care hardcore today and I don't feel guilty at all for taking the time off. I deserve it.

Pineapple is doing a burnout support group in April. You should register soon as it takes them awhile to get back to you. https://pineapplesupport.org/support-groups/
I don’t mean to lollygag but with my depression and health problems I only have so many spoons (for those of you who know what spoon theory is). I’m proud of myself for working out, cleaned up the house, and did some food prep. I did my financial self-care I.E. work and really proud of myself for that because I did not want to. Seems like with camming you should not take more than a couple days of consecutively, or it makes it harder to get back on. I’ve been meditating and that helps. I’m trying to stay positive. It’s really hard sometimes because I have legit problems that aren’t my fault that I can’t control. It’s hard without friends and family. This is the choice I made to walk alone. It’s because I do better alone. It’s really hard to do everything by myself, but in the long run it’s better for me. When I’m alone I elevate. When I’m around people I just have a hard time focusing on my goals and I end up abandoning myself for others. No bueno. I think once I have my life together I can have more friends, but right now I just need to do me. I went to therapy, my financial coaching group, and my sex worker support group and got a massage-they are medically necessary for me. I’ve been doing better at detaching with love from people, places, and other things I can’t control. I’m doing a better job at being self-responsibile. I’m just trying to live life on life’s terms. That’s not easy when life sucks. I know it’s cliche and I would never say this to anyone going through a hard time. But I have two choices. I can feel sorry for myself, or I can choose to see this as challenging time and do what I can do. Accept it, grieve, and make the best of it. I can’t be a Pollyanna, but what good does it do me being a negative Nancy. I have every right to my negative feelings, but I have to process them and let go. I can’t get stuck in depression or my life won’t get better.
Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. Buddha

FINALLY got my Cerebral Anxiety Free tea!!! OMG, I have been needing it for about a week. I will NOT run out again. That shit is so full of incredible herbs and keeps my derealization at a totally mild and manageable level.
It's very slow on cam and after EFT tapping for abundance and a deep meditation session I'm gonna have some Kava tea and chill on SM til I make something.
I really need a boost of self-esteem with some earnings as over 5 hrs on MFC making absolutely nothing has hit me hard. I'll try MFC later when I feel better about my skills lololll.

^Hey ShaSha, one of the most frustrating thing about MFC is the camscore. It's a double edged sword because it determines your site placement but if you stay online too long without making tokens it will plummet- and so will your placement. I would not recommend staying online for long periods of time if you're not making many tokens. Shoot for short shifts and try again if it's slow. If you can get some privates that is the fastest way to boost your score besides large tips :) Have you tried converting any SM clients to MFC?
Cam score is based on tokens earned per hour over a 60 day period

I have not tried to convert. & my score is total shit already. I do an hr at a time. I'm still new so have viewers but it's hard.

^Maybe if you can get a longtime client to sign up and do a show with you, they can help get your score up to boost your visibility?
Have you tried public count down shows with a tip menu or content on Share so guys can have incentives to contribute to the topic? MFC is a different kind of hustle as it’s a very social, chat room based site. You might need to start doing public shows first before guys want to take you private. You can say you offer more in private to entice them.
Don’t feel bad about your cam score as a newbie— my cam score was also lowish during my first two weeks and I only had had on average of maybe ~50 viewers in the beginning, then by day 14 I figured out how to play the game and my camscore shot up and I suddenly had 300-500 viewers on average, sometimes even in the thousands usually after completing a countdown. Not sure what chat room traffic is like in 2021 as I have been hiding in scheduled privates.
The key as a newbie is to focus on raising your cam score as much as possible so you can get more viewers bc more viewers = more $ potential
Miss_ShaSha
02-24-2021, 01:47 PM
^^I have tried a countdown for foot fetish related things and no bites. I'm NOT willing to do nude in free lol; I'm sure you understand. I have not even touched content on Share yet. I will def try that out! Thank you!
Yeah, I did a femdom tag search to find myself and I was at the bottom of the barrel. I couldn't even find myself under the sexy feet tag. I'm certainly way off the grid as my camscore is VERY low.
I do have a couple vids I can share and will do that to entice some of the members. I am pretty desperate at this point as it's like totally dead in my room as a new girl.
minibagel
02-24-2021, 05:46 PM
I'm sorry to hear it's dead, I think it has to be because there are more models online today. When I started in fall 2014 there were maybe only 1000 online at any time. Checking just now it says 1964, but I saw it at over 2000 the other day. It's not you, it's hard to get visibility on any cam site these days now that sites are becoming oversaturated. But at least with MFC we know how traffic & site placement/visibility works so if you raise your cam score you can get good site placement! Hopefully things will pick up soon.
And haha oh yes I definitely understand. I will never ever everrr show anything ever in public chat, F the freeloaders waiting around for all the tippers/regs to do the work!
Do you do any tease shows? That's what I generally did public chat, I'd do countdowns for tease shows with skirts/dress/lingerie something like that. I've also done countdowns to play video games or some other random activity, it really just depends on your current room. Obviously I was catering to a vanilla crowd and only did fetish in private so I don't have a lot of experience with femdom over there. I will report back to you whenever I go back!

What about split camming with livejasmin or I’mlive. They are similar to SM hustle.
I think one model said she dedicates a few hours to MFC then a few hours on SM a day. I would keep your SM schedule and maybe add MFC afterwards? It’s so frustrating. Don’t take it personally. Your earnings aren’t a reflection of your value it’s a reflection of how over saturated the market is. The price of pussy has depreciated.
My self care is I did some law of attraction work.

I signed up for a course on Resilience Skills in Times of Certainty on Coursera (it's free to audit courses)
https://coursera.org/share/3cd2cddbb005fb8e9f082567d643f5d4
This is a really good course- as it gives tools to use for practical application.
Recently I've been working on planning/scheduling the tasks that help me manage life a bit better. Scheduled dates for monthly budget and reviewing my budget each week. Set up a meal plan for the month, and dates to do meal prep- I've been making too many trips to the grocery store recently. So this will save me time and reduce any unnecessary spending as well.
I took the time to figure out the best times and dates for certain activities outside of camming. I feel good about this - slowly but surely things are coming together :)

Received some bad news the other day, but totally thankful for friends as they helped me feel better about my situation. As a result of the news I took the whole day off yesterday to just self care and got some social medicine last night by spending time with M the vegan. He's a lil rough around the edges, but has a good heart with good intentions. I enjoyed the time.
I'll be back on cam later today. Going to wait til 3pm CST tho and go from 3-8pm to try to make something. Will split with MFC to up my odds of making money.
This week earnings-wise has just totally sucked, but it's ok. I made enough last week to put $600 in savings and get groceries, prescriptions, and have a good chunk left over for whatever. I feel good about it all.
My canvases have arrived so I can paint again. I am waiting on new paint brushes tho, but I can still paint with the old brushes. I need to work on my Sacral chakra as it needs attention so painting will help with that.

Since the pandemic started my boyfriend has become a rare bourbon hunter/collector or more accurately a full blown HOARDER. He hasn't figured out a storage system yet and there are currently dozens upon dozens of bottles taking up the floor space in the kitchen nook. Driving me crazy, this isn't okay! Besides being such an anxiety inducing eyesore isn't it also a fire hazard?!
In my bedroom I have a mountain of clothes piling up on top of my hamper and it's grown to to waist height, also have other clothes strewn about- unacceptable!! I am a Type A freak in every other facet of my life but I can't keep a neat and tidy living space? What the hell is my problem? My bf does not possess any cleaning abilities within him so it's all on me..
I normally donate when there is too much but the idea of loading up my car and making several trips to the donation center just makes me feel even more overwhelmed. At this point I have no problem paying 1800gotjunk $200+ to just take it out of my hands ASAP. Idc. I've already decided that Mondays are official NO CAM days (since they always suck) so I'm going to really clean up as much as possible tomorrow and get stuff ready to be taken away. I deserve to live in a clutter free space. I have to make this happen soon so I can breathe. I always feel so clusterf!cked /endvent

Ever since I got the bad news, my life seems to be falling apart. It's chaotic & ppl are dropping off. I understand that a couple signs your manifestations are working include signs like these. I don't want to give up, but life just seems so hard right now.
I can't focus when I meditate. I have zero patience to STFO. & I'm just bummed overall. Sine I haven't really been making money for a whole week my motivation to get on is shot.
I'm not sure how to get over this. I'm eating right too & not losing weight. It seems all my ventures are for nothing.
I wanna give up & just cry. Fuck! I'm so upset by all of this.

I really do just want to take a week off after last week being so horrible, but I don't think I can afford it right now. I really appreciate the support though and it means a lot to hear it. Thanks!
I agree about the routine helping a lot. I try my best to stick to mine and it does keep me from spiraling and getting depressed :) I'm gonna try my best to stick with it.

Sometimes 'giving up' is the best-feeling option. Trying really hard to feel good can a lot of times end up just stressing people out more, it's like trying to make too big of a jump.
I can't meditate when I'm really upset or stressed out either.

No need to take a week off, but take 2-3 days in a row off. I guarantee you will feel better.
And please cry. It's gonna release the negative energy. Before one of the $1k days, i cried so bad because everything was dead and i was so low, that when i went online, my eyes were still puffy from the night before. But for some reason, I was feeling excellent!
But for now, take some time off. It's gonna help you come back and finish the week big time. You got the weekend coming and you will be able to hustle hard.

I slept 8.5 hrs and had good dreams. I feel well, plus I had a nice date last night. I am in good spirits. Thanks!
Really glad to hear you're working things out. I was so frustrated with just one bad week. You have to have been so livid that SM has been so underperforming site-wise. Awesome how proactive you are!!!

I did some financial self-care tonight. Right now I just need to work more than anything! With my chronic health issues i only have so many spoons, so it limits my ability to cam. I need to look into phone sex as it’s be easier on my disability. I am going to really focus on increasing my income this month. Also, when I’m streaming I’m going to listen to financial videos when it’s slow AF to keep me motivated.
Tonight, I’m drinking some Kava tea, taking an Epsom salt bath, and putting on a face mask. Also, do some work on removing money blocks by listening to a meditation while I soak.
Damn taking care myself is a full time job.
Also, actually using my goal setting app I paid for this month...lol.

What a difference a tidy house makes. It's pretty funny how life works out cuz at 1pm on Monday, my landlord/homeowner texted to say he is refinancing with an appraisal request and that someone would be by in 24 hours to look at the place and take photos... HAHAH. Lit a fire under my butt, literally. Guess that's the motivation I needed to get it done! I even got into all the closets and I don't think they even opened them haha. My house isn't perfect- have more stuff to whittle down and donate, but still I feel sooo much more at peace.
Sun is out today so I'm gonna go on a walk for that vitamin D! I had blood tests done in December and apparently my Vitamin D levels are "unacceptably low" lol, among other deficiencies. Improving my diet is my goal for March [as I type eating a Red Baron frozen pizza...]

Well, I'm officially starting to worry. Last week was horrible on both SM and MFC. I did 21 hrs on SM and barely made $250 and 9.5 hrs on MFC and made 180+ tokens.
This week I've streamed 13 hrs and it's total shit. So bad I'm on page 2 on SM. I've dropped so many rows in placement it's hard to get any traffic in my room at all. Looks like I'll be meditating, praying, and grinding so fuckin hard today, tomorrow, and Sat.
I'm trying not to let this bother me, but I can't help but feel bothered.
Plan is to eat clean, hydrate optimally, meditate often, and do some EFT for abundance every hour. Fuck...I really hope it all works cause I'm pretty desperate right now.

I have a clip store but after pouring A LOT of time into shooting and uploading everyday it was just a waste of my time. I could just put more time into camming and make more. So yes it is currently. I have shot a couple customs that I could upload to the store and SEE if I make any sales.

Hang in there Sha, things are rough online now, it will pick up. I am at absolute 0 $ and 0 traffic in room with new model tag, I am streaming right now, nearly 2 hours and i contantly dissapear from pages. Last week got 300$ from a regular. from minmum 1200$ a week am at a loss for weeks now, things are very strange with Streamate and i cannot sleep properly and i am extremely worried, I do what I can in my power to make things works and contact support etc. All my UK sites are super quiet and because I haven;t been online there for almost a year I have lost regulars so.. back to square one. Have patience, will pick up <3

I know I can do it if you can do it. Your situation is dire and you're not giving up. That is inspiring!!!
I just uploaded 2 customs to my clipstore and the store has already gotten some hits, so we shall see.
Thanks for the encouragement. Let's just keep on trying. I'm certain we can get through this.

That is a serious slash in revenue and it has to mean SM is messing with placement for this to happen to you. You normally make good money when there is traffic, when you are visible and for some reason it sounds like your stream is buried and you’re not being seen- I can’t think of any other explanation. Have you tried MFC in the meantime? I had a similar experience in Nov/Dec, where my Streamate earnings were absolutely pitiful. I could not even make a fraction of what I used to. I only cammed twice in November but remember it being totally dead like ZERO ppl coming in, but I cammed for two weeks straight in December yet could not even come close to hitting weekly goal, ever. The traffic just wasn't there and I was not motivated to stay on when there was nobody coming in at all. They were doing tons of contests and traffic was very f*cked for me at that time and I was worried SM would never be good for me again. I hope it will get better for you ASAP bc you deserve to make what you used to and more!

I don’t think it’s just you MissShaSha. FWIW, I made over $2k last week but this week traffic has been crickets so I guess I'm a ghost streamer! The only reason my revenue is still good is all thanks to regs + my new high rates saving my ass. It does make me wonder if my stream is buried bc I was on for 4 hours last night and I barely got any traffic either, just people trickling in one at a time. Even Sunday when I made a lot (from regs) the traffic wasn’t anything close to previous Sundays! It was eerily slow traffic wise. I always get worried whenever it’s slow, that at any moment I could go back to like it was in December where I was struggling to make anything bc of low traffic/visibility

This is encouraging. Traffic has been pretty nonexistent for almost two weeks now. I'm staying on, making less, dropping lower, & struggling. I really want to give up, but I know if I STFO it'll work out by the end of the month.
Thanks for the validation & support. It means a whole lot <3

Great session despite lower Gamma (red) as Theta (green) was high which is ideal in meditation. My breath coherence was high too which meant I was rhythmically breathing well. Overall a good sit.

I'll be GTFO soon in hopes a whale or reg shows up. This is my job & I take it seriously. Not giving up.

Thank you very much minibagel! Exactly that I have, is 0 traffic and feeling ghosted. Very strange this site. Normally I accept bad weeks but this is just a different dimension entirely. I'm not into MFC and kudos to you that you can make it work! But I signed for Stripchat and waiting for account approval and I will splitcam. Am still waiting for Streamate's support investigation regarding my new account, however, I did contact to transfer all my favourites and all stats and I will no longer have new model tag. But am waiting to see what the heck is going on with my account technically wise, hope they will find a solution. In a way think I will be more comfortable with Stripchat instead of MFC, need to experiment and so on. You know, can't believe myself I was unhappy earning 1-2K USD a week because I knew is more potential for more money but gosh, I will never take anything for granted when I have now weeks at 0 and under 500$ muhaha. Oh well, the sun will rise at some point. Thank you very much for sharing your experience :-*:flower::flower::-*:-*:-*

It only takes one guy. Hope your week gets better. I had a great night last night. Then horrible tonight. The name of the game is to STFO until a good customer comes to your room. Sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs until you bang your prince

It has turned around quite quickly. A fellow SW offered some really helpful tips that has helped me immensely and I'm meeting goals. I can't say enough good things about this community. We really are here to lift one another up. It's an amazing gift to be a part of this group of ladies and gents who help each other rise.
You're right...with the right attitude and some tweaking we can attract that guy who can turn the whole day or night around!!!

It wasn't until I started engaging I realised how SW works (I am a veteran of support forums so not new to it, just takes my brain a while to get around things), I check in daily here and really like the camaraderie.
