i haven't engaged in this thread in over month since i've first started to transition to online based SW back in march-april.

the month of may was decent for me. i had some shit days and i had some glorious days. i'm noticing as states are reopening and with the current political climate that is going on right now here in the US, this week has been slow for me. i mean i haven't cammed much like i should have, but tuesday and today were freaking horrible! the guys were wasting my time and they were being cheap! they weren't as generous as they were last month around this time. i guess it's because my newness has worn off hahaha and algorithms is now showing me to the cheap and broke fucks. they just keep coming in n out of my room by not saying anything or by not spending a dime at all. it's really starting to bug me! i even had a guy who managed to get a free sneakview of my coochie today when he booked an exclusive chat, but x'ed out of it within 15 seconds of it (customers on streamate don't get charged within the first 30 seconds of private chats). at least he tipped me 3 gold though in the main chat.

i don't know what tf is going on, but i am starting to get burned out from camming and i don't do it as much as i should. it is starting to annoy me on how i don't make enough a day for my daily boleyn models payout and it isn't as consistent. i'm lucky if i could make over $10 right now.

as of now, i am still going to continue to cam until i come across a decent remote job that pays well and has hella flexibility. i don't see myself returning to the club anytime soon. i am actually trying to retire from in person based SW. but if i do have to end up going back to the club, i will. luckily i am in position where i don't have to pay rent, food, nor any other essential needs at this time. so i am not stressing too much. but it would be lovely if i could make $30 or more a day on streamate!

i am hoping once things ease down with the political climate and perhaps with rona too, things on streamate would go back to normal. i have noticed for this week, there hasn't been much online traffic and i guess it because everyone is out protesting, back at their jobs, or going outside a bit more than usual.

i don't know what the month of June would be like, but chile it is going shit so far lol.

So I know you're not asking advice but here goes anyways. You are ONLY on SM? Ya, I would lose my mind, too. Try some indie sites where they book the show in advance. Never get naked right away in exclusive, I take my TIME. Also, you can put a note on the peepers and when they come back in to peep, block em.

I appreciate, Ariel. I do have a account on Skyprivate, but I kept getting so many time wasters and it didn't work out for me. I tried signing up for NiteFlirt for cam + phone and
they kept rejecting my listing, so I gave up on them. I have thought about paying someone to write a NiteFlirt listing for me that would be acceptable up to their standards. I only stick with SM cuz it has been the only site that has been consistent for me thus far. It isn't consistent and the guys not sticking around long enough bothers me. I do utilize the notes feature and I do block those who keep coming in n out of my room. I am on it. I need to tell myself not to rush to get naked cuz a lot of these guys only book 1-2 minute calls with me. This week really sucked. I don't know if you follow astrology, but even in the stars shit isn't looking too good. I don't know any other independent cam model sites other than Skyprivate and maybe Cam Model Directory? I'm with Boleyn Models daily payout and I try to stick with the sites they have listed.

Honestly, CMD is really good for me, I would try that if I were you. Yes, you get some timewasters but they have client list where girls can see who are the timewasters and i've avoided a lot of BS like that. Also, they pre-pay so no 1 min dudes. You can have a minimum and they pay for the show, then you call then so if they dip early, too bad so sad. SkyPrivate is worth it just to keep it on in the background while you cam on SM/NF/CMD. Did you email NF and ask what exactly about your listing is not so good? I'm the opposite, I'm barely on SM cause I cant stand the in/out and being "on" all the time. I can be on the indie sites all day but the difference is, in between calls I can cook, clean, work out, watch netflix, chat with friends whatever but on SM while streaming thats basically ALL you can do and it hurts my back haha. I need to do SM more though for sure.

Im going to give some unsolicited advice as well. First of all the client gets 40 seconds of free in Private and Exclusive chat so yeah dont do a damn thing until that has run its limit. But we have all done it so dont worry. It happens

Asl if you're coming from a club perhaps you would prefer a tip site better. Maybe a CB or MV would be more your style. Especially if you really push the "Im a stripper out of a job because of Miss Rona. Wish I was still grinding you lap" angle. Lots of Captain Save a Hoe's out there that love that kind of story and will tip big. I didnt see you mention if you had a tip vibrator or not. I would strongly recommend you get one, especially if you decide to go to a tip based site but even on SM I kill it with that. I can do my whole day in just tips.

I hate to hear that you are burnt out already but I think if you are just sitting in a SM room with very few clients coming to see you that its understandable. Tip based sites are much faster pace and might help motivate you for a while. Talk to Boleyn about which sites you can set up your account with. They pretty much cover them all but you want to sign up through them rather then sign up and then try to add Boleyn cause I know some site it doesnt work.

I feel like a stripper has the experience to kill it on one of these sites if they want to so Im sorry it has been slow for you. I hope a change will help revive it.

I did signed up for CMD and I did try to send my verification details to them, but they never got back with me :/ I may have to hit them up again and see what's up. I will try Skyprivate again one of these days. My newness on the site has work off though, so I don't know if algorithms would show me to generous customers. I haven't hit up NF's team. I literally gave up on them. I was very frustrated and I was like "fuck it". Right, I even feel bad when I'm looking at my phone when there's nobody in my room and a customer comes in n sees me. Sometimes they would leave right away or they would stick around n talk. I will hit up NF and CMD. Thank you.

Thank you for the advice, but I despise CB. I actually cammed on there a few years ago and I would only make 1000tkns a month. It would take me a month to get to $50. I did sign up for StripChat once and I didn't like the layout and no one wasn't spending. So I stick to SM. I know have to try sites a few times just to get the ball rolling, but I'm so impatient lol. SM has been the most consistent for me. It's just been kinda lame for the last week or so. Ima blame the protests/people taking a break from internet, states reopening, and people returning to their jobs. It has been a rough week for everyone emotionally and financially, so imma give it the benefit of the doubt. Because it was decent for me two weeks before George Floyd died. Hopefully since all the officers have been charged and George himself will finally be lay to rest on Monday, the protests will quiet down. I'm black and majority of my regulars and best spending customers are black men. I noticed that they
haven't came to my SM room as much this week like they normally would. I'm assuming what's going on is taking a mental toll on them and everyone is focused on that right now. I don't know, but I will try other sites and keep pressing positive vibes. Thank you.

And no to answer your question I don't have the Lush Lovesense toy. I cannot afford it. Maybe I'll get it someday though.

^^ Would you consider having a client buy you a tip vibe? You could set up a wishlist. And Im still seeing lots of black men. Yesterday they were in my room joking about Black cock matters :D

I hate that its not working for you. Next week will probably suck cause its a contest. Might be a good week to try Manyvids? That site does work for some girls.

I don't want ppl to know where I live and Amazon shows them the city and state once they purchased something off the wishlist. Does MV offer camming? I only know it as a content based site. I'm not looking to make content until I can buy a new phone.

DeepThoughts
06-06-2020, 07:01 AM
^^ Yes they have camming. I do pretty well there if I get on really late at night or early morning my time (Im in Europe so that is GMT +1). They use the Lovense Lush vib on that site BUT you could also ask a guy to buy it for you there cause they can send you the tip through the make it rain link and you would get 80%.

Sign up they are normally pretty quick for sign ups and I dont think they require content. You can go just for camming I believe.

Its a tip based site as well but they also have privates like SM.

Oh okay thank you. I am based in the east coast of the USA. So I don't get to cam late at night like most of yall do. Mainly from 2pm-6pm NYC time. I live with my family and I don't have the privacy. I will sign up for MV today.

You may want to review your keywords and tags and so forth on the sites you're on. Check off as many things as possible that you are comfortable with doing. I took a hiatus from camming right before COVID-19 started shutting everything down. I was camming part time to supplement my income. I am a Black cam model and I got a lot of requests for domination, SPH, sissy training, forced bi and stepmom or MILF roleplay.
If a guy ask you about race play hear him out before you cuss him out lol. I used to be completely disgusted when guys would ask me that, but most of them wanted to be dominated by a Black woman. I wouldn't do any type of race play where I'm not in a dominant position or being degraded.
I don't even have a dominant personality for the most part, but I think that some men assume that Black women are dominating. That's fine as long as they pay me.
Do not limit yourself to the stripper theme and think outside the box. A lot of guys are into ass worship too.
The more sites you are on the more money you can make. Make sure your cam quality and lighting is good too. You may also want to consider a dual monitor/dual cam setup, so that it's easier for you to multi-task. I used a ring light when I cammed. I also have all types of wigs too and I'm great with makeup, so if you're like that too sell that!

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.

Yes, there is definitely money to be made with GFE. I had landed a guy that GFE and he paid so good, but I think he was also a gambler and stopped spending money at one point. Enjoy while it lasts though!

hey i am just now getting back to these! i am in the right headspace to talk and catch up!

thank y'all so much with the suggestions! i did make a manyvids account and i will try to cam on there in the upcoming week. would i be able to cam on there without having to upload content? i am waiting until i get a new phone to make content. right now, i just simply wanna cam. also, what is the minimum payout on mv and how often do they pay you? i wouldn't be able to link my boleyn models account with them unless i post 10 videos or something like that. as for other sites, i will hit up cmd to see if they can get my verification process rolling and i will give stripchat another go. i might even try CB (even though i hate CB with a burning passion lol). my friend tells me camming slows down in the summer and i can definitely see that. a lot of my devoted streamate regulars had returned to their jobs and they have been so busy with work and with their personal lives.

@DarlingNikki4U yes lol. i get A LOT of those white guys who wants raceplay, but want black to be the dominant race. to be honest, i am far from a dominant person in my daily personal life, but i do offer those type of services. i am gonna sign up for mistress marley's bdsm patreon account, so i can learn how to be a bit more 'dominant'. I'm more of the 'submissive gfe' type tbh.

again, i appreicatie all of these tips! i will come back to thread in a few weeks or in a month to keep y'all posted.

This whole pandemic has done me so many favours in terms of getting me focused and helping me to get a proper insight on my potential.
I've been hammering it for 3 months straight though and I really am starting to hit a serious brick wall with motivation now. I hate to put a bit a negative on it but I'm literally so at my wits end and I need to vent a bit!
I'm starting to feel like I'm failing cause I just can't keep up on this roll I've been on!

I'm changing my SM profile up today as I advertise myself as being submissive which really isn't the case anymore lol. So hopefully that'll change some of the new clientele I'm bringing in.
Over time I'm thinking of setting up other eggs doing Niteflirt, Only Fans and starting up Indie camming aswell to keep things varied and take nearly my entire focus off SM/free chat (as much as I love SM!) but I feel so overwhelmed just thinking about it, I don't what to start or where to go next so I end up staying where I'm comfortable which is with SM! My brain feels fried!

Sorry for a bit of a rant I appreciate anyone reading it!

hey guys, i hope the month of July is going well for you all thus far! it sucks to say that coronavirus is still a thing and now it is hitting the southern states real hard.

i still cam on streamate, but I've picked up a retail job earlier this month, because i am slowly transitioning out of the adult industry and i needed to fill up gaps my resume a bit more. sm is going okay, but i needed a more consistent guaranteed income. now that i work a mon-thu full time like schedule, camming would only be possible for me to do on Fridays. which sucks, but by the time i get home, my mom will be home from her job as well and i just don't have the privacy to do such things. the only day when i have total privacy to myself and when I'm not working at my job are Fridays. relying on vanilla job money is something i gotta get used to, because I'm so used to getting paid every two days with boleyn and not waiting for biweekly paychecks haha. it's been awhile since I've last worked a vanilla job. but times are getting hard and i have goals to reach, so i wanted to speed up and increase my earnings a bit. i really have to learn how to budget my funds and not spend so much all at once. it is one big L i have to take lmao.

i am planning to get a iPhone 11 or iPhone se soon. so once i grab my hands onto that, i may consider making a OF. not sure it will be worth it tbh, but i will also try to upload content on MF too. i did take yall's advice and made a mf, but i never got around to camming on there. sm has been the only consistent cam site for me and idk if i have the patience nor time try other sites.

that's my monthly update lol for you guys. stay safe and happy hustling!

glad to hear! this lowkey gives me inspiration to make one as well. since some jobs are opening back up, maybe the girls who signed up for it as a 'alternative' had left the platform lol. this gives me room to post my content on there.

The Pixel 3a XL is going for $350 right now. The camera is comparable to most high end phones but cost way less. And there's the regular Pixel 3 with more storage that cost more. I don't recommend the Pixel 4 because they left some features off the phone that the 3 and 3a have, plus the price. I think I'm gonna wait until a 4a series hits the market. I just use the Pixel 3a for my adult stuff to take snaps and quick clips. Honestly I don't need all the bells and whistles that more expensive phones have. But the camera tho.. my gawd it's so good.

Shout out to the Moto G Stylus. That's going for $300 and has a pretty good camera with lots of storage. It ain't iPhone/Pixel good tho.

Seconding the Pixel 3 recommendation. Get the Pixel 3 instead of the 3A, because of waterproofing (Shower clips!)

feels like the summer slump is hitting now, late with covid - still making goals but with more work and not surpassing them as much
