I am finding for the first time in my camming career I can't pull long shifts. I think it's twofold, 1 there are too many losers who just don't get what camming is...I am guessing it is new studios...2nd I have a needy/dramatic basically live in (due to lock down) bf and he is fucking up my mojo. I am feeling this tremendous pull between keeping my private life fulfilled and as busy as we can and being one of the few people who can and work and make good money at this time. so I guess I am distressed but trying to be patient. But obviously not with camming since I am averaging 45 minutes before I break when it used to be 2 hours. Money is there if you can wait it out

MY bf starts to piss me off as well, even if I am trying to play on console, he'd annoy me with needy shit, everytime I take a break he'd piss me off with something. I mean, my mood is fucked up because of the increased amount of freeloaders and negative Nancy's ( It's unbelievable how bitches and mean members can be nowadays, not including the amount of totally new members who find the idea of paying offensive and feel the urge to insult me in all the ways for it, adding regulars who started to announce me that they wanna hold on their budget, while sitting in my freechat like I owe them something and the list can go on), now I don't need his moaning either. I wanna take a break and put my headphones on and kill some monsters and I can't. By the time I take the break, he's already fed up with gaming and he's obviously bored, while I want 0 human interaction.
I get it he's bored and frustrated he's locked in the house, but I am as well and I also been working from home for years, for me nothing changed. I ended up locking myself in the bedroom and camming long hours instead of taking breaks, because idiot freeloaders are more manageable, I just block them and won't bother myself further, while I am finding it hard to not punch my bf in the face right now, because I have no "silence" button...
I mean, the first 2 weeks locked togheter in a 1 bedroom apartament is fun and such, untill it gets annoying.

I have a few thoughts about camming through the pandemic...

1) I don't think we're going to see a huge uptick in new models. The only real demographic I can see sticking around throughout this is other sex workers, and they'll probably be catering to the clients they can convince to see them 'virtually'. Not to say that there won't be some overlap with existing cam clients finding their profiles, but I have my doubts that there will be a large influx from the 'vanilla' population. It's just not for everyone, and I don't see the turnover drastically changing overnight.

2) Tinder and other dating sites are probably going to suffer a loss of traffic in the forseeable future, which will lead to a lot of horny guys hungry for some person-to-person contact, and we're kind of the next best thing. In general, men don't turn to other men to soothe them- most of them need a woman to take care of them, sexually and emotionally.

3) While we may see our less affluent customers and people who get cam shows only very occasionally as a treat drop off the map, I don't think guys are going to be any less inclined to give up their vices any time soon. If you're stressed (and this is a super stressful event), you want things to take your mind off of it, give you some relief from all the worry and mundanity of being cooped up inside. We are a 'vice' that can be accessed virtually any time from the comfort of their homes. We're going to be within arms reach at all times, and considering leaving your house is a risk nowadays, I can see that working to our advantage.

That said, I think we should all anticipate a drop in earnings at some point in the nearish future and try to prepare accordingly. I don't think it's just going to dry up completely though. Lots of dudes working from home, with savings/credit, and a lot of time to kill. Let's try to hold strong and support one another throughout this <3

For those who're asking, I do not have covid-19. Just for the record. And I'm very sorry that I phrased it in that way. I was giving a general update on how life and business was during this time. I'm so sorry for the confusion. Things are going well but I am tired.



My covid-19 update is I'm tired. I didn't even remember the Skype show I did from my tablet or the phone calls I took overnight until around 1pm today. I'm tired and wired. I'm taking naps when I can but it doesn't compare to getting 7 hours a night. That's my norm pre-corona. I'm still working around the clock but my body is telling me to sit tf down. Tomorrow I'm resting my voice and blogging. Maybe take some new pics? But I'm not gonna log in anywhere because this is a marathon and I need to pace myself. They're still out there spending I just making sure I'm putting myself in front of them.

My dad is 78 and my mom is in hospital because she got bacterial meningitis. This whole thing has been so fucking difficult and now I have to worry about them plus my husbands parents live in Italy and they are 77 and 79. I keep pushing through for now. I keep pushing it out of my mind and forcing a smile on my face because I need to keep working. I want to start a family. I have had to put off trying until May because of all this but I am determined to survive this shit. We gotta be strong girl. It sucks so bad but you have to try and be the strongest person you know.

Yeah this is a very difficult situation that the entire globe is dealing with rn. It just really, really is. Stay strong everyone, stay safe.

I wish mountains of toilet paper, isopropyl alcohol and eggs for all of you in the coronapocalypse. Who knew these items would one day become as valuable as diamonds.

Camming isn't for everyone, I don't see a crazy influx of strippers turned cam girls overnight happening & even if it does happen, this job has a strong learning curve that ain't easy. I know when I started camming after I quit stripping, it was a whole nother' hustle in my opinion that took time to learn. I'm still learning it honestly & I've been out of dancing 4 years now.

Since we're all on lockdown for awhile, I guess all that means there's more time on their hands to learn it. I'm not worried about a massive influx of girls though.

My usual hustle I just can't seem to do tonight. This virus is melting my cold jaded camgirl heart.
Feels like we are all one world now, everyone is hurting and I just want to give everyone a virtual hug.

I've always hated gold shows, anything tipped in free chat for requests and always stuck with high priced privates.
Now I find myself wanting to hang out just for the company and can't seem to get my heart into getting them into private.

I guess once the assholes show up I'll get my old self back.

haha, damn that didn't take long.

My room is full tonight of idiots asking for freebies. I want to kill them all.

Ban ban ban.

I saw an interesting statistic on internet traffic before and after the lockdowns. Apparently traffic used to start rising after 5 pm, peaking at 10 and 11 pm. Now it's peaking at 11 am. I think I may try an earlier start time.

Let's try to move this thread into a different direction. I know these are uncertain times and it may be causing lots of stress for many of us but we still need to respect this space. No one should be spamming threads with doomsday post. I just had to delete 11 of them mostly by the same person. This is not helpful.

Please let's use this time to encourage one another to keep going and share hustle tips. Do not use this thread to spread fear. We already have enough of that in other sections. Instead tell us what you are doing to maintain during these times.

Camming has been a bit if a different beast for me since this started! I haven't been getting on as early which is bad, but from next week I'm going to try and get back in to my regular routine - I think it's important to keep that up if you can, to avoid things feeling too weird! If anyone's struggling, DM me. I sent it to another domme on twitter and she said it helped calmed her down too. It was something I saw on Twitter, and it did help a lot when the worry is pretty much constant - especially for family members (my parents are both key workers).

I digress..camming was great last week but my earnings have dropped this week, I can't lie. I'm still doing well though and staying positive. I still have regular spenders. I have actually noticed a massive jump in girls online on one of my main sites. I don't know if all of them are new or just having another go now their other jobs aren't possible to do from home. But yeah, it's undeniably a big jump. I don't know whether the "new girl" thing will apply, but I don't think it will be a long term thing even if they are around for a couple of weeks. This job takes too much hard work for many people to stick to, you've got to go all in, from my experience anyway. I sending you all lots of love. Put in the hours if you can. The money is still there to be made. It might just come at slightly more random times or not when you're expecting it.

A few of my regulars have told me they can't call or buy shows anymore because they're quarantined in close quarters with their wives, girlfriends, children etc. and there's very little privacy. So we may see a drop in shows even from the men that still have money. I assume eventually they'll get desperate enough to go hide in a bathroom or something though.

yeah, this is along the lines of what I've been thinking too. There is less privacy for many of them generally but eventually as this thing goes on they'll have had enough and need to get away from the fam, and develop coping mechanism/isolation spaces/times they are free and go out to the garage/car/mancave/second bathroom/country house and the need will be greater from being really pent up, they may not do as long shows but maybe you could raise your rates for them. Theyll be more grateful, etc.

My posts weren't doomsday at all, they ended well because my mom is feeling better and I have work, but I guess I see how they could be construed as distracting if you want to keep the thread upbeat. I get it. I mean this is a public thread anyway so ther are tight limits.

went online on skyprivate for the first time yesterday for nearly 3 hours. all i got was trolls and time wasters flocking to my shit and i've only made $4 with a 2 minute skype call. i will give skyprivate two more gos to see if it is suitable for me or not. meanwhile, i've just been approved for streamate and i will cam on there tomorrow!

I went 45 minutes today with no one in my room on Streamate. Now admitting I do find SM to be a dead site overall but that reaches whole new levels of dead. That's mummified.

This. I'm absolutely petrified. I've been laid off for 3 weeks and camming is my only opportunity at this point. I have made $60 this week and still need another $300 to make it through the month. Between constant bitrate fluctuations, being knocked offline and the audacity of SM to insult us with a fucking contest right now, my stress level is through the roof. I'm even more pissed at myself for checking out the site to see if everyone's chat is as dead as mine. All I have to say is, virus or not, to witness women giving themselves away to trolls and freeloaders is both mind boggling and heartbreaking.

I'm finding myself in a constant fight with my urges to melt down and lose it.

I feel like I'm probably going to keep dancing sexy (my favorite part of camming, love music and the physical exercise is great) and might even try some more nudity/start a show in public chat which I never do. I'll tease it through to see my tips go up. My custie list and NF rn is dead dead dead so I dont have a lot of options except up my hours. I'm still going to ban non tippers who sit there as I always do. You don't have to interact with dumbasses or be degraded by it if you do what YOU want, and I can still do a domming show and be mean and wacky. I could never "give myself away" to these losers/scum. But if I can increase my $$ so much the better. I've doubled my camscore this week in fact, god knows how lol. My bf tomorrow is going to take some photos or video of me maybe- that I still havent done, that will keep him busy. New goodies might help to mail out) There's also my TTM chat minutes I havent even begun yet. It's slow but just keep trucking girls. Up your hours, up your nudity levels *if you can handle it* and do weird shit, whatever to get them tipping or do shows. If there's family or any option you have to get a loan or some $$ please do it even if you hate doing it. Use your endurance, use your time to do weightlifting or exercises on cam if you get bored. This will help your body and mind. This will be over soon. Hell we even found kleenex today at the grocery so the hoarding's beginning to let up haha. I think Italy may be at its peak. Ours may be a month or two away.

Stay strong. I'm happy and grateful to be able to work from home rn, so, so very much.

It does look like this is probably a good moment to focus on content and phone, aka things that guys can consume in a more stealthy way (going to the bathroom for a call or downloading a video for a quick one). It's more changing and adapting which makes me incredibly anxious, but it has to be done! I'm working on some new eggs myself and trying not to freak out x

if you're only on SM it might be a good time to look into joining some other sites & diversifying

if Im honest, my earnings on SM are down slightly this week - but that always happens during contests for me - last week was my highest earning week on SM ever. try not to worry - keep on going & look into diversifying if your usual methods arent working as well

definitely second ladybuggies tip on clips - my clip earnings have gone way up since this hit

There's no reason you can't try out all four. It's the best way to figure out which works best for you. Between NF and TTM, I prefer NF. But there are lots of people who like the other for their own personal reasons. The best thing to do is to read those threads and get feedback there. Look at what people comment on the pros/cons etc.

Also you can use NF as a clips site too!

I noticed the same thing (the bolded) but I thought it was because of other reasons. Thank you for this, seriously.

I like many others have seen a big drop in the amount of shows im getting. I was doing great until last tuesday, after that its been the same since, big drop in shows. Lots of people still coming in my rooms but not converting. Like people have said in here i think its due to them not getting any alone time to play and also worried about money, so many people laid off and not sure if and when they will get paid. But what i do have to say is this. I have been for a long time now focusing on extending the duration of my shows and i have gone from 8 min shows too most of my shows being around 25-35 minutes long now, sometimes even a smidge longer. So with everything that is going on as there are less shows happening for us we need to make the ones we do get last ages. I have my notepad open for every show and I have a step by step guide I go through with each step taking around 5 minutes. By following this, this is how I extend my shows. Don't know if this will help anyone but thought I would post.

that sounds like a great idea/concept!
I gotta start doing that, I make the mistake of following the guy s lead/ mood and I get those 1 min men calling and I undress quickly when I should make them wait and If they wanna see tits fast then fuck them, I m not missing much anyways...

Honestly I reject more shows than I take. That may shock a lot of people but there are so many time wasters who don't want to spend much money online so I weed them out like crazy. I ask a few questions to them in free and their answers and the way they speak to me etc instantly I know if there going to be a time waster/low spender or not. I will actually try to put customers off and say my shows are really long etc to weed out the idiots.

this is how I do it too. i reject shows from anyone that only types one or two words in free chat, can't go into detail about their fetish requests, or are super blatantly sexual or demeaning right off the bat. it blows my mind how many girls don't like to get to know their potential customers a little more before going into a show. if you're intuitive about it, you really can figure out who's going to be a big spender or who's just going to give you a three minute show, which in my opinion is not worth the time - since i know i can find guys who will do 10, 30, 60 minute shows.

i also tell them i hate quickies both on cam and in real life, so anyone asking "hey babe how fast can you get me off?" or "how fast can you cum?" just gets them a giant eye roll. though if it's a super slow night, i'll be like "sure i'll do a quickie but my orgasm is going to be fake as fuck." helps support the narrative that i like to do long shows and take my time and actually enjoy myself, and if anyone wants me to do something quick, they should know i'm going to hate it and not try very hard. haha.

Has anyone found it best to lower their rates during this pandemic? With money being tight for everyone. I would think some shows are better then no shows....

Nope. Do what works for you, but that's a no for me, dawg. I dont meet men 50/50 or halfway, period. Our service is a luxury service. Customizable porn is a luxury. They have porn and spouses to stress release into daily. If they come to me they expect me to give them a 5 star show, not a cheap discounted one.

So unless they want a half ass show from me, my prices are staying high. Remember, your bills aren't going to lower themselves because we're in a crisis, and SM isn't going to give you 50%, either. People's homes were still foreclosed on during the last recession because bills dont care.

Buyouts came much later and mainly to banks, so nah, they don't get my luxe service for a discount, either. Cant afford me? There are plenty of girls in their price range. Stay firm. Your rent isnt going to go down because of covid, neither should your prices. You are still providing a paid A+ service.

Men will always take a mile from the inch you give them if they can. If they cared about their money, they wouldn't be in our faces. They'd practice self control. There's energy exchange, men take women receive. I'm not going to depleat my energy even more for even less caping for their entitled butts. Fuck you, pay me.

I'm isolating alone and camming everyday. Legit, last week and this INCREDIBLE on SM. If you're willing to sit it out, drag your shows out, and encourage tips...these weeks can be profitable.

I'm no top model, but I'm doing better now than I did before COVID-19. It's like some weird experiment of sorts, but the money is there ladies.

Edit: GOLD menu lower; private and exclusive rates still high.

I'm with you here, Sha! I had a record earnings week last week and this week has been even better. I've barely made anything off my other two British sites which is unsurprising though because they always go quiet around the school holidays etc, let alone at a time like this!

SM has been a saviour and has seriously pulled through.

What I need to do though reading this and the other comments here is learn how to drag out shows. I give into the pressure a bit sometimes (not completely) when people try to move me on quickly. Or I go a bit quicker than I want to cause I worry they're going to leave for taking too long.



Has anyone found it best to lower their rates during this pandemic? With money being tight for everyone. I would think some shows are better then no shows....

I don't know if this helps but I upped mine maybe 3 weeks ago now, just before everything started going mega south in the UK. I didn't think ahead tbh, I just did it. It's definitely not had any negative effect on business with regulars or gaining new business as far as I can see.

I used to up mine sometimes when it goes quiet too and I always found that helped a bit.

Ask them about their day
Pock up on and talk about something within that
Ask them what brought them to you
Pick up and talk about something within that
By now you've covered up to 10 mins
Ask questions
Repeat back key words and phrases and utilise them - "oh you like my tits?" (Tease), " you like these big juicy titties?" (Tease) " what is it you love so much about my big juicy titties?"... wait for the next signals and continue on like this. Do everything slowly. When you find something they like, concentrate on it for a while (teasing with my tits/ not even topless can take up entire shows!), ask teasing questions and lead the discussion, keep THEM talking, if they're into it once you get into the jerking off you can even instruct them and take as long as you like.. bring them them the edge and then stop, again and again.

Challenge yourself to see how long you can extend each part of the session. You'll get better and better at it.

^^I agree wholeheartedly Susie: asking questions and engaging in convo. Getting them to talk and type slows the jack off process so they pause and have to resume. I get them talking. I ask questions and wait for a response before moving on. This is helpful!!!

This is really helpful. The long shows I usually end up with are the ones where the men know what they want and they tend to guide me. When all the pressure is on me to do the talking I still freeze up and it ends up being a pretty short show. It's something I need to work on and this definitely helps! :)

I have a few things so far that have helped me cope:


1) Camming with people in the house that you don't want to hear you - So there are two issues, noises you make and noises like tip sounds from your computer (and your cam2cam or Skype guys make).

I find that even an older logitech webcam will pick up your voice if you whisper close to it. Most customers seem to understand now that a lot of us have full houses and have to "cum" and speak quietly.


I solved the problem of noisy cam2cam or Skype guys by getting a bluetooth earpiece - if your computer has bluetooth most any earpiece will work with it. If it doesn't have it you can get a USB bluetooth attachment to connect. This also has the benefit of routing ALL your computer sounds right to your ear so you can cam in silence, no tip sounds, no moaning guys.


2) Unrelated but a problem for someone who loves food - my online stores were out of bread and even yeast but I had flour. On a quick googling I found that wine yeast can be used for bread! So I found lots of that online, ordered some and Im going to try my hand at making bread.

Also I found a recipe for oatmilk (just old school oatmeal, water and a blender).

Please add your ideas for problem solving! Everything is so different now.

this is how I do it too. i reject shows from anyone that only types one or two words in free chat, can't go into detail about their fetish requests, or are super blatantly sexual or demeaning right off the bat. it blows my mind how many girls don't like to get to know their potential customers a little more before going into a show. if you're intuitive about it, you really can figure out who's going to be a big spender or who's just going to give you a three minute show, which in my opinion is not worth the time - since i know i can find guys who will do 10, 30, 60 minute shows.

i also tell them i hate quickies both on cam and in real life, so anyone asking "hey babe how fast can you get me off?" or "how fast can you cum?" just gets them a giant eye roll. though if it's a super slow night, i'll be like "sure i'll do a quickie but my orgasm is going to be fake as fuck." helps support the narrative that i like to do long shows and take my time and actually enjoy myself, and if anyone wants me to do something quick, they should know i'm going to hate it and not try very hard. haha.

Honestly I couldn't have put it better myself! Exactly what I do, its so true about asking a little in free and you know by their responses if they will be a serious show/spender or not. Those guys with the one words answers I avoid like the plague. I also put notes by their names if they come in again I know what the score is with them. I do still get rarely the odd customer who I thought was going to be good and then they click off - but if they do I note their account or block them and if they manage to come back again somehow I say i'm not giving you a show you wasted my time and didn't take it seriously. Recently had one guy so eager to get another show after I blocked him he came back trying with 2 other usernames!!! Still wasn't having it. I agree those 2-3 min shows are not worth it. Takes away time I could be in free navigating the big spenders and engaging with them to move them into exclusive.

Good question: stall lol as long as possible.

I really need to get better at dragging out - I was never confident in my talking ability on cam but I need to use it more tbh

Thanks Kat! I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, how did you recover from it? :( and yes, i feel for Italy, all of this has hit me hard.
I was heavily exposed to the virus, but Spain hospitals are saturated right now, i didn't go to have the test, i followed the sanitary instructions: stay home and try to get better. I took medicines for the flu. I'm not sure i had covid-19, i just had all the symptoms but i didn't get tested (it could be just the normal flu i hope), I'm gonna keep inside my house for a few weeks more. I need to cam cause i need money for rent and food! also, i am feeling ok right now, only thing is i had heavy stomach pain yesterday but i'm good now.
This are very dark days, we need to be strong and face that many things have to change. The way we live is going to change and we have to face that some things are never going to be the same. Fortunately, Us cam girls are used to be inside our homes for long period of times, so it is just a tiny bit easier for us. Many good things are going on right now aswell, i didn't talk to my sisters for six years, and they called me yesterday, part of me was empty, now is full again, i'm happy for that.
Virtual hugs xoxo

Medicines for flu never helped me. This is what i do every time i'm having a cold:
2 pills of vitamin C ( the strong ones of 1000 mg-pills for swallowing) in the morning and 2 pills at night plus 3 liters of tea during the day. This is a shock treatment and not to be used on a regular basis. It worked every single time for me and friends. Puts you back on your feet in maximum 3 days even if you have the nastiest cold possible with fever and all the rest.

Honestly I reject more shows than I take. That may shock a lot of people but there are so many time wasters who don't want to spend much money online so I weed them out like crazy. I ask a few questions to them in free and their answers and the way they speak to me etc instantly I know if there going to be a time waster/low spender or not. I will actually try to put customers off and say my shows are really long etc to weed out the idiots.

Wow I LOVE this!
I don't know why it never occurred to me to reject short privates.

These short shows lately have been wearing me out. I really need to focus on longer shows and these posts are golden.
I'm probably missing out on big spenders while I wear myself out with the minute men.
