I guess I should consider myself lucky, considering this is the worst week I've had in months. I usually average between mid $55/$60 an hour and never work more than 20 hours a week (because well, fuck that lol)

ironically this was my best week i've ever had for extra cammodel referral earnings (two guys spending a bunch on other models, but none on me lol. and none of that goes towards the extra bonus. kinda lame, but i'll take it.)
i'll have an okay week after the additional earnings bonus and CM money but this was upsettingly low for my normal hourly average. also the time online here doesn't accurately reflect the actual amount of hours i was actively in "work mode." i got disconnected frequently all week and dealt with a lot of camera/audio issues that i spent extra hours troubleshooting, redoing camera settings over and over, and taking the verification photo every time i logged back on. that extra time really added to my overall "shift" and was incredibly draining.
basically thanks to the bonus and cammodel referral money i will have a pretty "regular" week, which is fine, but doesn't feel like a bonus whatsoever which is annoying.

I don't see my bonus in my earnings at all. How long does it take to be distributed?
Ive always been curious. Do you ladies find that having sound on or off while in the free chat makes more money? Like if you have sound off...just type...then when they go private or exclusive you turn the sound on? Or just having sound on all the time (free chat and private/exclusive)? I've played with both and i'm not sure. I feel like there are times when more cheap asses will sit in the free chat and get off to my voice or even annoying regulars that havent bought a show in awhile. I don't want to block those regulars but its like bitch, pay up. But then I feel like it does help the new guys to get to know me a bit and kind of hook them in and want them to spend more in private or exclusive. But then with the sound off and me just typing it kind of keeps a mystery and gets guys to go private/exclusive. And with sound off for free chat, it makes the regulars want to go private or exclusive because they can have a full on conversation. Its such a toss up. I keep going back and forth cause I can't figure out which one is better. Any thoughts on this?
Do you make decent money with your sound off? I never do. I talk to people to get attention. I do refuse to answer after a couple of questions about a fetish unless I am just enjoying the conversation though.
I think the numbers of non-paying customers makes placement higher so it helps to have some engagement.
I did quite well I don't get much opportunity to stream these days due to RL work, and other activities (now we can really travel!). I had a small amount of Cammodel earnings but did really well for the few streaming hours I put in. I do appreciate the CM commission I have a few cammodel video sales, it all adds up. A few months ago my hourly was dire, this week I just timed it right caught guys who wanted to take me private for a while, good tippers and didn't wear me out. I don't make mega bucks but my hourly this week is towards my ultimate goal, and with the bonus ontop I even better! A cancel in RL and me just taking the opportunity really helped, there were two days when in had a really slow hour (I could only manage to get 1 hour streaming on those days), I thought perhaps I'd blown it or the good day was a fluke but bounced back on my last day of opportunity (Friday), the stars aligned i choose an outfit that worked perfectly for slow strips looked stunning on and off, and I finished on a moderately high for me hourly.
By the way I don't boast for the sake of it, I was genuinely really pleased and pleased I could do what I did. For context I aim for minimum $20 per hour, would like $40 per hour, this week I finished just over half way between minimum and would like goal. I have had weeks when I cannot stream, weeks when I get 10 hours in (in soft lockdown I aimed for 15-20 hours), mostly I'm averaging 5 hours per week.
Thank you both for posting that is so inspirational! That's why I wish we had camming sucks page still... keep it on 1 page where we can complain together LOL
I average $25/hour. Worked last week made $250 less than normal.. the bonus I guess wont cover because too much was media sales. Better than a contest is at least i get something.
Me too.. I try new things a lot. I have spreadsheets over years of it all. My outfits/hair/cam/sound/music/chatting/hours/nails/makeup/toys. I have also had months of a $40-$57 average. The only thing seems to change is the traffic. I hate to blame traffic but I can get difference of $20 + a hour some months depending how busy it is ..why is it? I dont know
I do better with my audio off in free chat. I'm not a chatty person and hate small talk so it shows when my sound is on and I'm short with people. I just type privately to those that greet me and then turn my mic on once they tip or get a show. That's just what has always worked the best for me. I think it just depends on you and your personality. Using audio in free chat hinders my money.
Hi, yes I too missed part of my new girls status earlier this year when I came back to SM.
I agree w/others here about staying on, if you can 15-20 hrs a week. And make sure you have the popular tags, solid advice and I need to get on that myself.
Also, being vocal even when the room is empty. If things are dead-dead, I log off and reset, or eat a meal, etc. Almost always better than sitting there and affecting the hourly over the long haul.
My snapshot at the start of the shift: the more care I put in, the better my placement has been. Face, hair and boobs showing towards camera. Depends on your niche, of course.
Honestly I feel like this past week is not the week to draw conclusions, so be easy on yourself. For me, things improved *a lot* last night, coincidentally bonus week had ended. lol
Toys aren't showing up on my profile page - I haven't had hardly any tip vibe tips today and it's usually 60-70% of my income... Anyone else?
had that start last Thursday. Keep hitting the vibe button on connect till it shows up on the customer page. Seems to then stay lit up till the next time you start stream. Last night the “usual” suspects seemed to figure out that the icon wasn’t consistent. All it takes is one guy to just tip anyway and the others get the hint. Really hope tech figure this out quick though
The bonus week has finished and magically my earrnings are going back to normal ... also I have okish traffic . What a coincidence ah?
Been on page 1 this month working 15-20 hrs/week averaging $52-$68/hr about 1/3 of my money comes from Lush vibe here's my two cents:
Adding Room Topic "TIP VIBE ON HIGH", Always audio on I never type, Nice lighting, Makeup/hair fixed & Nice smile w boobs showcased sexily, gets me a lot of gold menu selections in free chat. I noticed when I'm showing my vibe I get tipped SO much more so I'll scoot back to show it :)
Avoid hitting 'Stop Show' if you can during your shift!!! Don't be afraid to Reject exclusive requests if your room is full and you're getting a lot of Gold tippers playing w the vibe, better than being taken to Exclusive for only a minute or two then the guy bailing and going back to empty room (Unless it's one of your usual customers who'll make it worth your while then Accept) Update your thumbnail to show off your best asset! Let's stay positive and get our money girls!!! :flirt:
They are good advices but everyone has a different approch , and every girl does different shows so not always what works for you works for everyone, for example the girl who are doing femdom wouldn't earn with those kind of things , For example me I do better when I wear more clothes cuz my regulars love me to dress up and undress me with tips and stuff , so I guess everyone has its own approach of show and how to make money
I've been thinking about snagging a lush for a hot second. They are on sale right now too. Do y'all use the og Lush? Or do y'all use a newer one? Does anyone here have a preference between the three that are out right now?
Thank you SoloDesire for your advice =) Over all the years, i've watched how girls handle there rooms. There would be girls who used sound 24/7 and if they got annoyed they would voice it, which I feel like alot of guys would leave from that. It's super easy to get vocal when we get annoyed if the sound is on but when the sound is off, your less to do that...just silently block the idiot and keep waiting for the good customers. Then at the same time, I would watch the girl that doesnt do sound in free chat, just type and shes consistently going in and out of privates. You are right...it just depends on the person. I noticed that I could be nice for only so long and then my bitch side comes out and i'm vocal lol! So, sometimes...sound gets me into trouble lmao! Happy to hear you have success with typing in the free chat. I think I might just stick to that as well lol!
I use both Ferri and Lush, choice depends on lingerie.
Tight fitting = Ferri
Loose fitting = Lush
The other is there as a back up & to enhance the sound so customers can hear it.
I did lose the magnet a lot with Ferri getting undressed or removing. I soon learned to look on any magnetic or metal containing object. I've found it on my phone case, tripod, heel of shoe (some stilettos have a steel shaft inside).
