Re: Addicted to making money
yes. There are times when I literally see numbers when I'm at work. I can't stop thinking "just five more songs... just seven more to make my new goal. I can make it. I'll get there. I can do this".
Re: Addicted to making money
no but i need to! i'm in kind of a similar situation to you...been camming a year and have really had difficulty getting my ass in gear til now. i'm trying to get super excited about making enough money to pay a bunch of bills and pay off debt, hehe. it's happening...slowly! i've struggled for a long time because i have always seen work like...making what i need to live, nothing more, and i've never really done work that had a good earning potential before. i've never really gotten excited about money or had a reason to be before now. so...i'm trying to build that excitement :)
thank you for posting this thread!
Re: Addicted to making money
I think its worth saying that I havent been focused on the money, but rather on enjoying myself and that formula always seems to bring the money!
Re: Addicted to making money
yes i used to not really like camming when i first started just because i had trouble being patient and sometimes sitting there for an hour or 2 with nothing..... but i noticed if im n a good mood and smiling and dancing around (which makes my time go by quicker instead of just sitting there) i started earning way more and if im busy i can sit my ass there i dont care.... So all i had to do was change my attitude and i love it! i cant wait to log on the next day to see what i can make! .... The only trouble in the mornings is putting makeup on a fixing my hair lol once i get threw that shizzle im good to go! :)
Re: Addicted to making money
There are times when I get a little bored with camming and try to log in at least 2-3 times a week, and there are times when i go h.a.m. Lately i've been going hard and its awesome because the hard work is showing in my earnings but i really cannot take a day off. When i take a day off i just think how much money i'm losing, how much i coulda made, how much closer it would have made me to my goal..etc.. Its sick. I've blown a lot of people off, left places early, and pretty much have become a hermit because of camming. Haha i know its not healthy. I'm just addicted to seeing numbers add up.
Re: Addicted to making money
OMG, can someone please remind me to NOT blow off custies who ask for shows because I really can't afford it. I love seeing my numbers go up, too but the interactions always seem to come at such an inopportune time. I'm addicted to money but I'm allergic to work.
Re: Addicted to making money
Holy crap this thread is inspiring. :O Congratulations!!!
How many hours did you work that week?
Oh also! I've been meaning to ask you this for ages, but where is the pic in your avatar from? I loves it!
Re: Addicted to making money
Yes! Addicted to money, not immune to hard work, but put off by mediocre or just good results from great efforts! Cam is something that takes time and patience to see the big money, Well, for me.....so I have to treat it as such.

Hey hun, ok, so I went through my credits statement for this past week and added the times I started making money to the time I stopped for each night I worked and it came to an approximate total of 9hrs in the week. I also sold a few videos and got paid out a few credits for referrals.
Those 9hrs does not include the waiting time before my first cam session of the day tho.
I have no idea where I got my icon, I found it somewhere on the internet years ago :)
On average I worked an hour and twenty minutes per shift (shortest shift was 30mins, longest was 2hrs 40mins).
Now that Ive broken it down like that Ive had a pretty good week! Damn! I had no idea! Thanks for asking its made me realise a lot of stuff I didnt know before :D
Re: Addicted to making money
I'm addicted to work, but not really to camming. I wish I was addicted to camming, but it's hard logging in & being scared of a hit or miss type of day. I just have to get over that though. I have some big goals this winter & tax man is coming.
I've been on the computer for a solid 10 hours today "working" but haven't cammed once. Video uploading, pic editing, website signing up, social networking/blogging, e-mails, fetish researching.
It's crazy how much time the background stuff takes.
I haven't even been able to sign up for phone stuff yet because there is just so much to do in the camming world.
I'm going to try to start working 5 days a week on cam compared to 3!
Re: Addicted to making money
i love that when i work 7 days and i never make my goal it awesomee to see all my mdeocre days add uo to an awesome week!
