Just a quick question, I did the search and could not find anything recent.
I keep reading a lot of posts where people are saying this is the "off" season for camming. Can someone share when approximately the "on" seasons is? lol

Hmm not really sure... I think the summer is quiet due to horny wives/girlfriends, holidays abroad and lack of money from either saving up for a holiday or from having their bank accounts rinsed from the expense of being on holiday..
I reckon as the dark nights draw in and the temperature starts to rapidly drop so will the custies trousers... and away we go! Fap fap fap ;D
we're just moving over right now :D
Let me clarify the above actually. Horny wives n girlfriends due to the summer heat... I know it sets me off on a rampage for sure and have heard other lassies say similar :)
Hahaha! Thanks!
Makes sense!
i always thought summer was not as busy cause of kids being home for the summer... if i think about it, i would think that christmastime would be slow cause there's not a lot of spending money around the holidays. but maybe due to the cold weather, guys spend more time inside with their internet leading to a spank bank hunt. haha i don't really know the reason but summer seems to always be slow.
This is definitely not the off season! Kids back in school, holidays approaching along with all the stress relief needed - gonna start rocking ladies! ;)
I would think the Holidays should mean bank for most of us, because a lot of people get lonely that time of year.
From what I've experienced, we're "back in season" now. And last Christmas was painfully slow. I considered getting a second job around Christmas. Not because I needed money to spend on gifts but because I was struggling to make 1/2 of my normal pay.
But I know that everyone's experience is different.
I'm not sure that being from a hot state should affect your earnings (referring to the slow time in summer reference) unless your customers are only from your state. I know that I log on at certain time b/c I know ppl from different time zones will be on then. I get more traffic during "peak times" for another time zone and not what I would think would be peak times for my time zone. So I assume that means most of my customers are from a time zone other than mine, and I list my schedule in that time.
Also, I get a lot of customers from Australia, so their schedule is totally different. That said, I wouldn't think that YOU living in Florida means that most of your customers are from there... well, unless you tell them you're from Florida and that's why they come see you. Now I'm rambling, sorry. Hope that made sense ;)
For me it normally stays busy all over the winter holidays, starts slowing March/April and then slows for summer around May. That's just my experience though.
The kids being back in school is definitely a plus for the horny guys who like to visit cam sites during the day (when they're off work, though some browse MFC at work too! LOL!). :)
I know that lately, I've been seeing even some top models tweeting about how slow MFC has been for them. And these past few days I've been seeing over 1,000 models logged in...WOWZERS!
Over the past few years I've experienced roughly the same pattern. My revenues tend to go down over the summer (May-Aug) and holiday seasons (Nov-Dec). I've always assumed the summer slump was due to kids being out of school and people enjoying more outdoor activities. Around the holidays people tend to save for presents and kids are out of school, but my revenues are still higher than the summer slump.
Camming season is the same as tourist season for us. October through Easter.
summer is slow ... because of vacations, busier (want to spend more time outside and doing things), kids home, etc.
builds back up in late September early October
I'm not sure if December is slow because of Christmas and stuff (cut down on costs) ... I guess we'll see!
February on should be pretty nice though I would think
In New York & New Jersey it is much slower during the summer months. You will make half the money you make in winter. Everyone goes to the "shore" and the bars are empty. You need regulars, or you work extra shifts to make up the income. Winter everyone is bored, there is no beach so everyone is out looking for strippers lol
i think off seasons is complete bullshit. Men go to work each season. Money flows on the internet everyday. If one market gets slow, learn how to hustle another.
kisses.
I agree with this, it's a bit like asking which site is the best? how much can I earn? etc At the end of the day it's different for everyone and very much depends on how hard you are willing to work, how many hours you are online, at the end of the day if you aint online you aint banking ;) (exceptions to the rule are obviously offline sales but still need a lot of work to build and promote.)
Definitely this will vary depending on your schedule, and your niche, but I think the general consensus is that fall and winter are busier.
Honestly, I just think that it is because people are less likely to be outside when it is cold and/or raining! In the summer, guys are more likely to be outside socialising, but when the winter comes, they sit by the computers and wait for us to take their money...tee hee hee.
Funnily enough, it seems to be the opposite of stripping - where I found that summer was usually better because guys were out in packs (also - batchelor season!) but come winter, they holed up until Christmas time...
^ I kind of agree with CamWhore.... "OFF Seasons" can be BS....with focus and hustle one should be able to make money all the time. Money is still being moved around all year around..plus if people still made big business during previous recessions and great depressions, I think one can still make money now..lol
But I do think it is good to follow a business trend and see what months are best and worse, just like when one sees if they do best at night or mornings, on Monday or Friday, etc and learn to work it when it is at it's strength and just focus on either improvising when it is not at the best time and come up with ways to make more money...or work on other hustles etc...
