Mhmm...it's really scaring me actually. I need to make about $7,000 by December first in order to pay off the remainder of my BA balance as well as flight and hotel AND school for spring semester. I'm not sure if i'm going to make that goal :(
I'm only on SM and I've been doing great, I don't see any slow down for me personally. What site are you on?
Yeah I'm getting really nervous about it. Mid/End September things picked up like crazy and had me thinking "yesss summer slump OVARH!" now suddenly I'm hit by all time lows. Not even just no spenders, but no traffic either! :(
I am not even sure if I am going to be able to make my bills! UGHHHH
I'd try something desperate, like a public cum show, but I'm worried that won't work and my self esteem doesn't need to know that masturbating for the world to see won't make rent.
That's depressing.
SM has been pretty great for me
SM has been fairly good, IMO too. My problem is with MFC, my room has been deaaaad.
I took a week off from camming (I did chat only) and started again today...AW camming was quiet, IM seems best on there at the moment as it leads to a lot of Skype. MFC was strange this afternoon...more traffic than usual but few spenders, although again, it led to a profitable Skype. MGF never seems to vary but it's a whole different animal for me.
I'm planning how to promote Christmas sales...The Ideal Gift for the man in your life?
Correction... SM sucks today. lol. But then again, it's a Tuesday.
Holidays where people celebrate with friends is always dead. *Not always though*
It's the end of October, it feels great outside! People are probably just enjoying their last bit of fall with their friends. Or at least that is how I see it.
Just wait til everybody is cooped up at home!
Then they'll be saving for the giving holidays. or at least the guys that aren't total creeps will be.
I'm in despair, over here.
I think the summer slump thing is a myth. I did pretty good in the summer.
What's REALLY going on is that we are spilling all our secrets about what sites are good, the times WE personally do good, the days WE personally do good, and girls are just signing up left & right and flooding the days/times we're on. They probably aren't making much more money... probably less because they aren't finding out what works for them PERSONALLY... But the point is that people who read these forums take our words as *gold* and proof that those sites/days/times are $$$$.
Yeah, with the way everyones been talking I'm starting to think it's more than just a seasonal thing. Sigh. Well, maybe our new posts will scare everyone away and our prime times won't be so over saturated anymore. We can hope, right?
hmmm i don't know, i hope so.
what do u mean GlamourRouge about a bigger issue?
Yes, but those shows made it seem a very detrimental career choice. I was thinking if anything those shows would scare people off, especially since their target audiences aren't really girl who would be our competition anyways. I guess it could go either way tho.:-\
See my post above this one. ...That there is a HUGE influx of new girls who come across this forum from googling camming and mass fill up our sites/days/times that we're on. The mainstream media's new reins on the camming is probably only mass increasing those google searches.
Think about it. It ALWAYS gets noticabely quieter for girls like a week or two after the ~*~*~*~*_____ at ___o'clock is SOOO much $$$$!!*~*~*~*~ threads that we start on here.
I have found AW to be quiet for a month now - this is my main stream of income so i am struggling - I am rubbish on MFC ... room full of freeloaders or guys who just want to insult girls .. SM has been on and off ...
I sincerely hope it picks up for you all - everyone has their own stories and struggles and I hope we all start earning some more money soon x x x x
I don't think so. If anything, they will GOOGLE it to see what its all about, and this forum comes up a million times. Combine that with them seeing posts for us saying things like ~*~*~*I made $900 on MFC today in 3 hours, how'd you guys do???*~*~*~ and then everyone on here wonders why they can't make money on whatever site anymore. These newbies don't take into account that these cam girls posting either: 1.) have a large fan base (ex-pornstar, have been camming for years, etc.), 2.) spend a lot of time & money on advertising, 3.) pure luck.
But here's the twist and the reason why they stay. REMEMBER, its REALLY hard for anyone to even get a minimum wage job right now. People are DESPERATE for money. $5-10 an hour camming is better than NO money.
I don't think newbies take into account that serious permanent damage this job can have on them for the rest of their lives in regards to future jobs. ONLY CAM IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS YOUR CAREER, guys! Or if you plan to be self-employed forever. Otherwise you will likely fuck your life up. Like that couple on Lisa Ling's cam episode that said they were distraught when they found out they were recorded and put on several tube sites. And BACKGROUND CHECKS guys, it DOES show up! And I'm sure EVERY man has looked at a cam site at one time or another. Think about how many husbands in your cam room talk about how they are sneaking around on their wives & need to be quiet/discreet. You WILL be found out. Its not a matter or maybe, its a matter of when. And that's why I probably come off the way I do to newbies. Its better to lay out the facts than sugarcoat them with maybes.
its never quiet in my head..
Im my own entertainer..::)
As soon as I hear music( I always work with music on) Im in my own la-la land.
Never wait for someone else to make you happy. Even on the sites..
Happiness starts from within.
Im happy just with a roof over my head,food to eat and knowing me and my family are ok and safe.
Everything else is just a bonus :)
Ok Done preaching lol
^ Who says fridays is not positive! :HUGS:
Today was not only slow on SM, but I also got called boring, rated a 1 during a private presumably because I didn't immediately rip my clothes off and start fucking my pussy as fast as the guy wanted, AND some guy in free chat said he's gonna hunt me down in real life, tie me up and rape me. /:O
And lots of beggars too, of course.
It is a bit rediculous though, I mean really.
When I hear "I made $900 in one night" the first thought in my mind is "ya right"
Anyone ever think that people could be bsing??? To take someone elses word on a site being busy is sheer stupidity. Not only because they could be full of shit, but these sites work differently for everyone.
There could also be "plants" if you are a theorist like myself, there are all kinds of theories that could actually be true, from people claiming to make good money, to the sites themselves making it look as if their top girls make alot of money...you never really know lol
And if it is true, congrats but that doesnt necessairily mean that site will make that money for ME
BE PERSISTANT LADIES!
I really dont ever have more then 10 guys in my Sm room at once. It is how you work the traffic, not how much traffic there "IS" be persistant. Slow and steady wins the race. I am not a top model but I make good and I make due with what I do have. DONT SIGN OFF JUST BECAUSE U DO NOT HAVE AS MANY VIEWERS AS YOU LIKE OR "TRAFFIC" IT IS A NUMBERS AND TIME GAME. IF I AM HAVING A SLOW DAY, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL I MAKE MONEY. IF I AM HAVING A BUSY DAY, ONE OF THE GUYS IN FREE CHAT IS BOUND TO TAKE ME PVT.
Changing your views on traffic to realistic ones will help you out more in the longrun, then worrying about which site has more "traffic" over the other.
