help....
Ok so..I have not worked a whole pay period in like 3 months :O I have been working like 3 or 4 days a pp at most! Before the last couple months I would work at least 80 hours a pp and most of the time more. Mind you I'm not a new cam girl..camming has been my only income for 4 years. But now It's like everyday I just say oh I'll take another day off and one day turns into 10 days...Last pp I only worked 2 days!!! I don't know whats wrong with me.
A year or so ago I used to make a lot less camming like I would work everyday all day and come out with like 2000 dollars for the pp (I had alot of pp's I averaged OVER 230 hours). So In the past year I figured out how to make 400-500 a day in about 8 hours ...you would think I should want to work more right? When I first started making more I was loving it and still working my super long hours. But now I will just be like whatever I can make all I need in 3 days I will take today off :-\.
I guess this is extreme cam girl burn out? Maybe I am making up for lost time for the years I never took a day off? I don't know. I am always saying whatever just chill out this pp and you will go hard the next one..which hasn't happened.
Can anyone offer some advice on how to beat this?

Re: help....
I'm going through the same thing. My personal life has been hectic lately and I've had very little motivation to log on at ALL even though I need to make money... and then when I do log on I end up making very little, which frustrates me even more. I'm feeling totally burnt out on webcam and I don't really want to do it anymore. I'd rather do something that pays less but has the plus of, well, not being webcam. ::)
I don't really have any useful advice for you... because I'm suffering the same problem. Really the only thing that works for me is to just FORCE myself to log on, no matter how bad I feel... and force myself to stay on for a set number of hours. There's really nothing else to do!

Re: help....
Funny I have gone thru the same thing...I think we love what we do and we know our true fans love us and when gone for a while we come back and make bank for a few nights. I with Smurfette...I have to make myself log in sometimes bc this is my way of income..sometimes I want to go back to the club but years of that drama and I enjoy staying at home but not staying at home. I just simply love being in this industry...I want to do more with it.......

Re: help....
This isn't the best response but I'll confess I'm in the very same boat. I'm so worn out after every session because I do all these freaky things in my shows and they're back to back. Then it catches up to me by the end of the week. So I'll play those mind games to take a day off then it becomes 3 days and then it's time to play serious catch up for the rest of the week, UGH. Here I was thinking I was the most awful lazy person on earth, LOL. But I've promised myself to snap out of it tomorrow.
Maybe we can be accountability buddies and keep each other motivated daily, h0ttie. If you like that idea, drop me a note and we can set something up. This is my only source of income so no camming means no money in the bank, :'(.

Re: help....
Hey girls, I just snapped out of this recently. I am not new at camming, it's been my full time income for the last 2 years. I love what I do, but some times I go on these "no-working" binges, where I just say- ok, one more day off... and last one was 3 weeks long, haven't worked one day in 3 weeks... ehhh... when I get to the point where I can't make myself to log in I just do something to relax, spa day, shopping and when I realize that if I worked last couple days I could get that new bag or watch or shoes it gets me back in the groove... I guess I am motivated by nice things and not having money to get that makes me mad and puts my mind and my tush back to work :)
Hope you snap out of it soon :)
