Finally online after sooo long. I feel rusty as hell!! Ugh!! And this constant state of stress all around us is not helping me. When I stay inside is all good but each time I go out at the store or for a walk it's like I am absorbing all that stress and fear and I need to turn on my inner Eckhart Tolle/Buddha/Byron Katie to stay sane. Anyways, I just made 8 bucks being awkwardly mean to a submissive, so I'm happy. I know I will get back to my dominant glory eventually haha. I wish all the best to everyone on here, make that money and stay safe and healthy! <3

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.
I'm learning this too. I've gotten pretty good at being able to discern in free chat if they're going to be a minute man. Sometimes Ill take them anyway, but I find it's not worth the time it takes after they leave for clean up, readjusting cam, ect...it drives me nuts lol. I'm sure we all do this, but I always ask what specifically they're looking for and if they say "I just wanna see you rub that pussy" I know its gonna be a short show lol. I like the men who know exactly what they want and how they want it. Especially guys who are a very specific niche....panty stuffing, lipstick drawing show (no idea if that's the correct term lol), and feet guys. Those guys are going to be a minimum of 20 minutes in exclusive. For me, that's a decent time span for a show right now.
I dunno know about anyone else but I am noticing an uptick in new guys visiting my room and taking me into privates. Not sure if its due to this pandemic (because guys are bored at home) or the fact that I've been streaming like crazy the last week...or both. I'm totally fine with it though! Money money money :)

yeah, it actually surprises a lot of guys to hear the word "no."
it also amuses the rest of the room. like if a guy comes in and goes "hey babe wanna ride this 10 inch dick?" then i smile and say "no thanks, i'm good." the guy gets all surprised, like "what do you mean no thanks?" they just expect girls to say yes whenever they ask for a private and i shut that shit down so often, lol.
i also really play up the GFE vibes to get longer shows. i know some girls rightfully find it emotionally exhausting, but i will 100% always take a guy who likes to "get to know me" and be all personal, over a guy who wants me to do hardcore/physical things for an entire block session. the GFE guys usually let me do exactly what i like and take my time, and are more likely to be repeat customers. so be on the hunt for those types for sure.

This is one of my favorite parts of the job. Of course, no one's surprised because I'm mostly a domme, and never sub.

went on streamate today for the first time! was online for an hour. so many people kept coming in n out of the room and none of them didn't spend not nay dime 😔. i will try them again later on this week. i will give skyprivate a second go tomorrow.
if anyone knows of any online remote jobs that isn't call center related nor doesn't involve coding and all that other gizmo shit, please feel free to dm me on any leads.

I've learned so much and taken so much on board reading this thread. I'm going to start implementing all of it when I next get back online and start being more picky with my shows.
I've started making notes to block people who do shows less than 2mins and if they outright say something like, "What can I get for £20 in a show?" Or some other rubbish directly insinuating they want me to rush or stick a dildo straight up my vag, I always turn those down but actually sussing them out if they don't outright imply it is something I definitely need to work on.
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...
Yes I do this too.. I don't completely give in and whip my clothes off in 30secs if they push me to, but I definitely cut the welcome chat shorter and work faster than I would do normally.
I'm putting a stop to it. Immediately!! lol!

I was really hoping march would be better but it seems like with the pandemic my regs are trying to save money. I'm hopeful April will be my best month yet (I've been camming for a few months)

I'm getting a ton of new phone sex customers at the moment and they all seem to be somewhat soft spoken? Almost as if they need to keep their voices down. LOL It's all good. Usually whisperers annoy me but under these circumstances, I'll take their money.
I'm still following my schedule where I have days dedicated to admin duties, editing, blogging and then days for live sessions. I'm more rested than I was last week and I'm finally able to keep track of my days. Also I finally got the Webstream plugin to work on my site again. A line of code went missing during a php update. But now I'm back in business and will start promoting it again to my new traffic. I want to come out on the other side of this pandemic stacked tf up!

I had a guy who popped in my room, I asked for gold, and he replied with "oh my god someone's shooting, they're telling us to get down. Please help." and left the room
The trolls are getting more intense.

Well since my club is closed, I'm trying camming. I gave it a go for a short month or so about 4 years ago but found the club was better $ so didn't stick it out.
So now I'm back on MFC. I've forgotten basics like how much to charge for stuff but I'll get there. And I'm still shy in that I'm only stripping at this stage no "playing". But I've been online sporadically over the last 10 days and made more than I would at a normal full time job so I'm pleased with that.
Plus the USD to AUD is so good right now!

Oh it gets better. Im a bit weirded out rn as some guy on CB (jade-something) told me he was related to me and in my state of origin.
Wouldn't tel me my name though or any family member name so i m pretty sure a troll.
Also, have no close relationship with any male (young) family member and he seemed nice enough.
Just took the opportunity to send me a dick pic which im pretty sure was fake anyway. Prolly getting off on the thought of me actually being related. This incest porn trend is super disgusting and fundamentally revolting, a real pussy-dryer.
He seemed surprised when I told him I was banning him lol. Dumbass.
Good news? Apparently Im on page 2 of cb now lol

Thiiiis. Medicine was a dream of mine too and I've often had regrets about not going through with it, but with all of this going on, man am I ever glad I didn't. Holy shit. I'm beyond grateful for those who did and are out here fighting this thing; fucking superheroes, the whole lot of 'em.

Well, I'm back out of the closet finally. I don't have as many heads around as before, so now I can spread out again. Today I did a virtual meet and greet from the backyard. No one bought a show but I did sell a few clips..40 bucks from new customers. Truthfully I'm just happy to be able to stretch out.

Last week was pretty lame for me and this one is pretty bad too so far ( to make it worst I lost power yesterday for like 5 hrs..)
Oh well, let s hope tomorrow is better and I m very grateful I can work from home and don't have to risk myself like so many people have to do..
I had a guy calling me today and saying he was happy he finally had some alone time ( his wife was grocery shopping) but other than that she s home all the time...
The first few quarantine weeks were really good for me but now it s going to shit... I wonder if more people keep getting laid off or they are sending them to work from home and more and that s why guys have no privacy... ( and kids being home all the time doesn't help either..)

So I was thinking of transition out of camming but with this covid thing that's not going to happen. So grateful for camming. I'm a travel cammer but I need a permanent place so I'm going to pick a state with few people! Hate loosing my freelance business but it is what ispt is. It'll come back. At least I can make a living. I notice lots of late night activity now...Stay safe everyone!

So..after a long hiatus I am back! :)
Been going through a really tough time at the minute, and camming is the only thing I have to look forward to. Might even start a mini challenge next month if anyone wants to join me? So nice to read all the 'Camming rocks' threads. Gives me a lot of inspirations at tough times like these. x

My inner sarcastic side wants to tell them only boring people get bored (but I bite my tongue.)
I've tried the whole being cute thing looking in the camera and asking them "Do you need me to give you something to do?" (this is for the ones that I think who I could possibly convert or at least get a tip.

from what I can recall, the only time I’ve converted the ‘bored’ guys into a show, which has probably only been a small handful, they didn’t stick around long anyway. So I just try and get a tip out of them at most.
I’ve occasionally had some regulars come in and tell me they’ve come on cause they’re bored but they tip, have a little chat and go on their way. But then that’s all those particular regs normally do anyway.

You can say that without being "bitchy". I think if you watch your tone and use body language you might be able to start a dialogue. If they keep that same IM BORED energy, then silently kick them from the room. If they pop back in say something like "OH, you're back! Are you entertained yet?" (LOL I'm really good at playing dumb.) They keep it moving and some come back when they're ready to spend. I have customers who like when I'm a little mean to them.

Business is still good and I'm keeping on my schedule. But now I have more time to focus on myself and organize. This week I sold a lot of clips and customs. My phone lines have been a little quiet this week but I'm making up for it with my website plugin. It's not like back to back shows, but if I'm at home all day long and I get several shows through out the day then I'm happy. They've all been new customers too! Guys who had been following but never bought a show. I'm working on how to appeal to both the ppm guys and the indy block session customers. There's a mental sales switch that needs to be activated for both of them.

It's not worth the effort. In 10 years camming, I have never seen a "bored guy" tip or do a show. There is no reason to be bored on a cam site unless you are broke. They are looking for you to "unbore them". For free.

it has been steady just like you say. If sm customers could reach me outside of sm to get me to log on i would be there
When I get into the swing of camming, I dont like taking time off, its all about that money.
i find myself the past two weeks not feeling one bit of guilt missing 1-2 shifts. the money is there, im getting ahead weekly.
I am reading little books to help me improve my clips/onlyfans etc and actually enjoying it.
vents about this pandemic
Streamate pisses me off w contest, yes they want us to work, I see where the pandemic brings us down. we make more money working, sm makes a fuckton of money but I feel like sm does not care
I see what they are doing and it makes perfect sense - they dont want us to stop bc if we stop, they stop. I get it but its some fuck shit
I have never had one complaint about a contest from a customer but i did yesterday, it wasnt about the contest but the contest lol
I appreciate other sites upping our commision for the month.
I am not receiving a stimulus check. The IRS has me as not filed when they have my 2018 paperwork. 2018 was questioned when we started doing 2019 taxes. i put off 2019. i wanted to use that money to sink into the nail salon. I was actually thinking about buying shields for the manicuring tables. we joked about that being a deterrent for clients in the 90s bc state board was talking about. we thought clients would think we were not "clean" and now in 2020 its like give me the biggest of the biggest shield and make it bullet proof since mfrs are all gun happy now :)
