I always thought it was easy money and then I have my days when I think it is not easy at all.
most of the outside people think it is easy and they hate us for having it so good.
I'd like to know what other models think.... please vote,
thanks:)

I voted it depends. Sometimes it is easy, and sometimes not. Since I am not into only accepting the site promoting me, I have a lot of work to do, and it is never finished. Between promoting, and slow days, it can make for a not so great day. Then there are days where traffic is so amazing that I have a really easy day.
Hard , becuase I market my self, and not all the time does that pay off.
Difficult in the sense that there's places I'd rather be but relatively speaking and taking the job market into consideration -For me , Camming is piss easy big money.
agreed with the economy the way it is the fact you can not go to college and make the amount 4 year degree having office workers are making, shows you that well lol camgirls are smarter than alot of people, We can brush our hair turn on a ca smile and write a check to pay bills yes its easy, and yes it depends
I voted easy... but it def depends on a lot of things and the individual.
Sometimes easy, sometimes hard. You know when you have those days where guys just keep taking you private and you are happy and just so motivated....and then those days where the cheapo's and beggars are everywhere popping in and out of your room and no one pays...it depends and those days can be so depressing.
Actually, if you're so bold to make a statement like that, I'd consider you to be pretty damn stupid.
Edit to add: this kind of mentality/attitude is pretty obnoxious... how, exactly, are you smarter than other people? How are you smarter than the cancer researcher who is contributing to defeating something horrible and benefiting humanity? Are you saying you're also smarter than the people who invented the thing allowing you to flash your pussy for "more money" than they probably made? How about the person with a PhD in nuclear engineering making only 90K per year?
There are people stuck in shitty situations, because they aren't as lucky. They don't resort to camming, or taking the easy way out, because they don't want to. They do what they like, and many of them do it well, and we benefit as a result of THEIR hard work... after all, someone's got to work hard, because we're clearly not really contributing much to society, while benefiting entirely from it. We do what we like, and we do it well.
Does it make us smarter? Absolutely not... never forget what you're doing is only appealing to basic primal instinct people have. Nothing is forever.
I voted sometimes easy sometimes hard. However, I need to say, for any wanna be or new cam girls, it is definitely not 100% easy unless you think being recorded, posted on forums, worrying about your friends, family, ex boyfriends, employers finding your porn online, not making your daily/weekly/monthly goal and stressing out, having to shave and look perfect every day, being told you're ugly/fat/a whore/dumb/"get a real job", being threatened with hacking/viruses/posting your vids everywhere/stalked, is easy....
I think you have to be pretty smart to be a successful camgirl. Not necessarily 'smart' as in good at maths or any other narrow sense but all the successful camgirls I know are smart.
And, for the record I agree with exquizit, don't really see how she was saying anything controversial. I have a day job and I cam. I like to think I'm smart too ;)
I edited for clarification... I really can't stand that sort of obnoxious mentality some people have. I've noticed it quite a bit... it's like wow, okay, we cam. Some of us luck out, and it works for us, "so OMG let's judge other people as inferior to us, assuming they haven't considered equivalent forms of industry to supplement their dwindling income!!"...
I cam, and I was working on my physics degree (my background is accounting/IT/etc)... at the end of the day, camming is what it is, and it's a walk in the park. However, I'm not about to call other people "stupid" or consider myself "smarter" than someone who chooses NOT to do this.
maybe you choose to read into it a little to deep, but calling me stupid.. chick slow your roll real fast literally back up in reverse....
what im saying is compared to sitting on our asses looking pretty all day looking in the newspaper and using out degrees or previous jobs, to look for 10 a hour jobs out there , makes us pretty damn smart, rather or not were contributing to society were taking care of our damn self, agree or not if you DONT go find a cure for something shit..
I definitely don't think she was calling anyone stupid. She was probably just trying to say that cam girls can be smart for using what we have to make money from home in this terrible economy when a lot of people with advanced degrees are being laid off or passed up for jobs all the time. We have to do what we have to do to support ourselves and our families. I think you are amazing for being so intelligent and physics, wow. I am a psych major and definitely not great in physics or math or science. lol. *hug* Let's all be happy and get along and get back to the thread topic, please?
Yes thanks thats exactly what i meant, rather i put it in the correct term or not, its what it boiled down to, Were smart for using what we have and making the most of it in this economy
Wow! That's some pretty awesome sweeping generalizations you're making, for someone claiming to be "smarter than most others"...
Who, with a degree, "sits on their ass looking pretty all day for 10/hr jobs"? I'm really curious. Inquiring minds would like to know, and since you consider yourself to be "pretty damn smart", perhaps you could enlighten me.
Oh, wait... that's right... because you take the anecdata of one or two sensationalized headlines and run with it to justify what you do.
Sorry you feel like you have to elevate yourself, but there's plenty of work out there, even in this economy, that pays the same (if not: better)... you just choose not to do it.
No problem, and congrats on your schooling.Quote:

There's definitely "junk degrees" out there that some people get trapped in to -- and a lot of them have a difficult time finding a job because, simply, there are a flood of people creating a lot of competition and undercutting or just plain out don't know how to make it work for them. Similar things can happen in the cam industry -- who will pay $4.99/minute when you have a bunch of girls doing more extreme things for $.99/minute...
But, that's not entirely their fault either... and I feel sorry for those people, because they've been conditioned and groomed and had the pressure of post-secondary "pushed" on to them without having the chance to think it through, or if it's what they want to do or not. However, there are some industries out there in desperate need of people -- especially trades people... electricians, plumbers, construction workers, etc. It's just there is a desperate shortage of people to fill those positions...
Overall easy. Even the slow days that have me ripping my hair out and cursing webcam still pay better than many 'real' jobs that require a whole lot more effort and dedication, responsibility, accountability, etc.
My average is $30/hr which really isn't that great, but also happens to be the average wage of registered nurses, who work their tails off in 12-hour shifts and are responsible for treating and saving people's lives.
So yeah, compared to that, webcam is easy as hell. I try to keep things in perspective.
Damn right i choose not to do it :lol hell yea and i smile every pay day, on the thread topic Yes this is a easy way to get money y stress myself to make it hard, aint no shame in my game ever, your looking for a debate? you wont get one here i know exactly what i can and cant do thats why i make my choices, so debate all you want sweetie cause my fingers arent typing angry like you, :) enjoy your day darling
I didn't see exquizit's post as condescending. I get it. I also have a non adult related job, been to college... but camming is where I make all my money. I think she only means we are smart in the sense that we are willing to do this work, to take care of ourselves, not sit on welfare, or ask for handouts. I certainly didn't see that she is putting down college educated people who bust their ass in school, to try and get a rewarding career, and better future. In fact she is one of the least dramatic people here. People are always misconstruing words here.
lol you get me, by the way nor does it matter i have a 4 year business degree , and i still think camming is easy safe fun money, its a great thing for a single mom or a career women, your smart if you can make it for a long time, but your not stupid if you dont.
I'm not trying to debate at all -- but I am GLAD you clarified it properly, because this is all I was pushing you to answer, which is exactly what I said the first time around... ;) You're not smarter or dumber than anyone. You simply do what you like, because you like to do it. Just as most people who don't make porn/cam/escort money will stay in their jobs because they do what they like to do.
Don't mind me, I just hate "elitist" type mentality, no matter who/where it is from.
For the time being, it is what I want to do. Is this what I want forever? No. I remember times when I would lose jobs due to not having day care, and really struggling in school and vanilla work. Honestly I wish I found this all a long time ago. It is just more convenient, not to mention cheaper, for me to work from home. Adult work is not the only work I do from home. I also have vanilla work as well. That particular job does not pay well, but I keep it because it's another egg. How many people in this bad economy, can say they have 4 jobs? Just do what you feel is best for you and your family, and get that money.
No need for arguing here. This started out as a decent positive thread.
:) exactley thanks :)
Oh boy here we go again ::) I don't think anyone here thinks they're better than the people out there working with degrees. Hell most of the ladies here have degrees or did she miss that thread?
Good Lord!! ANYWAY, I as well think it depends. Some days,you're hot its great. Other days you may feel like crap and your earnings suck. Ultimately though I think its up to us and the attitude we have when we enter our "cam mode".
Yeah.....this mentality pisses me off, maybe the cam girl COULD have been a rocket scientist, but instead was never supported by family or couldnt get scholarships, grants whatever.... my parents and ENTIRE family have never done a dam thing for me.....to this day!! Everything has been through my own hard work and persistence.....no SD no family money.... no loans to pay back. when my dad passed 10 years ago I got 4grand, a months worth of living expenses in LA. and my mom has dementia and in a nursing home at 3grand a month because my lazy fuck of a brother who has grown children wouldnt take her in. I live three thousand miles away and am a single mom with two kids. .....go ahead and call us stupid. I personally think anyone standing around walmart all day 60hrs a week is stupid!!! I would GLADLY get on the help humanity bandwagon if someone would pay my fucking rent.....
I just need to say that today might be one of my worse days by far lol. I caught myself looking miserable on cam, and immediately logged off. I am going to do some house work, make dinner, and chill out. I will be back on cam later when things are hopefully more jumpin. Today is one of those not so great days! I hate to complain, but I am disappointed because I normally don't work Saturday. I decide to work Saturday, and it sucks ass!
