schedules
How important do you guys think keeping a schedule is? I used to go by a schedule but then MFC started becoming hit and miss, and I would leave to a different site. I feel bad if I don't show up or if I leave if I have a specific schedule.
Too many guys ask me if I'm going to have a schedule, but when I do try to stick a schedule out I tend to do worse...
I don't know. Is it really necessary?

Re: schedules
I do. Basically because alot of regulars wanna know when you're on. I always get asked when I'm usually on..so I just tell them to keep lookin at my schedule for changes. Also, when I log off I tell the people in my room to check my schedule for the next time I'll be online :) It seems to help me.

Re: schedules
I don't. I'm a full time student so my schedule is always crazy. The past 2 months I've made an attempt to stick to certain days and I don't think it has helped at all. I'm actually about to just go back to showing up whenever I feel like it.
BUT I also don't have regulars who a) tip regularly and b) are online consistently. If your regulars are always on on certain days with tokens then it might benefit you to have a schedule.
Over the past year I've always heard having a schedule will help regulars find you. It was the #1 piece of advice most people offered. It could just be me and perhaps I don't have many regulars, but like I said, the past few months I've made an attempt to stick to certain days/times and it's been more stressful to me than helpful.

Re: schedules
I don't usually have one. But I will say that I try to log on when I know that certain customers might be on. There was a two week period where I got a 15 minute exclusive block from the same guy every day. He would often stay 20 or 25 minutes. I for sure got my ass out of bed for that.
I recently put up a schedule again and when I didn't stick to it, a couple guys asked about that.

Re: schedules
On MFC I feel like you kinda have to have a schedule to do well, and I try to stick to mine, but at the same time if I'm not getting tipped then I'm getting the hell off there to go somewhere where I will make money. It's hard. I guess if I didn't give a fuck about my camscore then I would stay anyway and hope money came along, but because of the camscore I won't do that.
I have never bothered with a schedule on private-based sites, I don't really feel like I need one.

Re: schedules
I keep two schedules, one is a Google calendar embedded in my website and the other is on my SM profile. I try to update them every week and I'm able to stick to my schedule majority of the time... I've had quite a few regular clients tell me they really appreciate the schedules because they make a point to get on during those given times!

Re: schedules
I'm having a hard time keeping a schedule right now. My life is crazy, unpredictable and stressful. Plus, I've been sleeping in like crazy! That's what happens when you don't have a vanilla job. I would love to stick with a schedule for webcam modeling, blogging, and affiliate marketing. That's a good idea.

Re: schedules
Its been really hard for me to stick to the same schedule every week.
Hmm... But maybe if I just take it one week at a time and change the schedule weekly as needed.... That may work & it would be one step closer to getting more dependable for days I need to work..
I work like 15 hours a week. I want to work 30 hours a week. I can do eet!
thanks for all the responses you guys!

Re: schedules
I try to keep an updated "schedule" on my profile, but it is basically for each week at a time. I have a lot going on (like most of us do, I think!) so working the same times every week is difficult for me. I usually just direct guys to my twitter for realtime updates on when I am on.
The other issue that I find with having a schedule is to do with my mental state - I find that if I have a set schedule, I start putting lots of pressure on myself to follow it, and get stressed if something else comes up, or I am "running late" and then it starts to feel like these random guys on the internet have a hold on me. And that is just not a good place to be in for me...so I have started just doing whatever I please, trying to keep custys updated, and reminding myself that they want to pay for me!
