Money is at the top of the list but more importantly being able to make a lot of money quickly so I don't have to put in a 40hour work week.
I also feel like camming allows me to use my mind and talents in a way I never had in any other job I've worked. I'm not talking about sexual talents. I feel like I use my mind in camming more than I ever needed it for any "regular" job I've ever had. I really enjoy and appreciate that aspect of camming almost more than I appreciate being able to pay all my bills only working a couple days a week.
For me it's about freedom...working from home, the hours I want to (although that's restricted to school hours but I sell content and do instant message outside school hours too), being my own boss, able to be as creative as I want to be and bring myself to it. I can have sick days and lazy days, have a nap or whatever! The money being enough to make it a viable option.
I've had jobs/bosses/co-workers from hell...it took a lot of courage for me to go self-employed but I was steered this way and I'm glad I was.
Money is the top on my list. I chose to cam because I am able to make some money without having to leave the house. I hold a job in real life and it is an overnight job but I do not make much money as I do camming or clips. I can make my two weeks worth of pay from work in just a week or less doing clips and camming. Also, my car sucks at the moment.. Doing some extra money making without needing the car is a huge plus! hahahh..
Oh yea, I am able to keep making the money while I am in other country (which will force me to leave my real job for months at a time) and this cams/clips are another huge plus!
Money. I work a vanilla job (I'd never leave the house if I didn't). Also, the freedom. If a customer or my manager disrespects me at my vanilla job, I can say "fuck you" without giving a shit if they fire me. My manager is awesome, the customers are awesome, and the job is easy, but it's nice to know that being fired or quitting really wouldn't be a big deal.
Making at least a thousand a week this month. At least two thousand a week next month.
Being safe is a given, not a goal.
Having fun squeezing money from losers.
After 15 years of fucking, and my personal two drawers full of sex toys and S&M crap that I use off cam, sex skills aren't really anything I'm looking for.
Being my own boss, it appeases to my introverted self and I get to take out any anger I have on my sissies so it's sort of therapeutic.
Also, learning new ways to mess with peoples heads.
I wanna make at LEAST 100 dollars an hour someday... Since I can't use the encoder it's kinda difficult.
Money, and the ability to make $ while giving me the time and freedom I need to pursue my main career goal. While not as much a goal, something else I get from it is safe sex...so to speak. I tend to be generally single, am Ok with it, and have the occasional friend w/ benefits. But, camming gives me a bit of titillation to keep me from mindlessly getting involved with idiots for attention, and the motivation to get my butt to the gym everyday even though in RL I may not be seen naked for months. :)
There is so many things that i am constantly thinking of that i wanna achieve within the course of my camming career. for now (for clips, camming, promoting, etc.) i am working on getting to a place where i have a system down and am able to balance and keep a flow going. i have all the tools necessary to get there but it is just a matter of putting it together and keeping it going sort of thing. school is starting up soon and need to work on my time management skills better. longterm to have my own site/indy, have a solid fan base, and to be more financially stable/savvy and to just build a nice nest egg and invest.
$$$$$ bbs! However I do enjoy the socialization and being told how sexy, hot and beautiful I am on a daily basis. This job has done wonders for my self esteem and confidence!
I'd say everthing you mentioned there and a few more.
Feeling as if I have the freedom to explore my sexuality outside of my marriage
Self confidence that comes from knowing that you don't have to be thin and a barbie doll for men to go so far to have your company and experience you sexually.
I've worked different vanillia jobs, the one's that parents are happy to brag that you do, and one day I just said 'heck with it' and gave the adult industry a try.
I think that my new work gives new definition to the saying 'do what you love, the money will follow'
Like many people the original plan was to work the job until I got a certain amount of needed money. Then I took a break, missed the work and I've decided that I'm staying in the adult industry as long as it will have me.
why put myself through all the torture from 'vanillia jobs' when I'm so happy doing what I'm doing now?
Extra money to save because I have this little dream of opening my own spa(regular, not sex LOL) someday. My regulars from dancing keep me living comfortably but I know I could be making so much if I put my mind to it. I also enjoy that safety factor.. nobody able to touch me is nice too. I'm so tired of random guys touching my butt/boobs so damn much in a club.
Make enough to expand into other areas and eventually buy a smallholding to run my empire from :) short term it's to pay off bills and live a comfortable lifestyle. It already paid for my BA, now I want perfect teeth!! X
I want to be able to say (to myself lol) that camming paid off my debt. Because I don't really look at camming as a JOB so for me to say I got outta debt for having fun on cam really makes me feel like I really accomplished something that not EVERY WOMAN could do. So it makes me feel, i guess u could say, powerful in a sense!! So my goal w/ camming is to be debt free and for me and my husband to buy everything from then on w/ cash. Then my husband's check will be free money aside from water, electric, etc. So that is what I'm aiming towards!! Hope it happens soon!! :)
Short term:
-Stay consistent with my hours which will build regs, which leads to-
-Money to live comfortably rather than scrambling for bills
-Enough to put extra for student loans (less than 10k to go!!!!)- would like to have this paid off within 3 years
-Build a new computer (should have this within the next month)
-Build my own website
-Keep coming up with new concepts for clips- hooray creativity!
Long term:
-Roll around in a pile of money
-Invest in buying land, so I can build a house (log cabin) and be a crazy cat lady in the woods
-Lots of money towards retirement and travel adventures (see pile of money)
It's all about the cash $$$$$$$$$$. Learning to invest my money for the future, putting away a nice savings for vanilla business endeavours, and doing all the things that those who are going into the entry-level workforce with thousands of student loan debt can't do. (Like being able to travel to foreign countries and different US cities whenever I want, and buying new tits and laser teeth whitening treatments in cash:))....hehe
Ha this is irrelevent since I haven't been on much lately, but:
- To explore the depths of fetish from a psychological, biological, and anthropological standpoint
- To push my boundaries and grow as a sexual being even though I'm only cybersexin'
- To network with like-minded people (I'm talking about other girls, not customers lol, but I do thoroughly enjoy talking to my customers)
- To be myself. The gender-neutral soul, the ultra masculine mind & thoughts, the ultra feminine body and physical mannerisms. I can't unleash this in the vanilla working world. But slaves and sissies get me. I'm the yin to their yang.
- To pay for a PsyD, if I decide to go that route. I don't see myself using it. At least no where in the near future. But I don't have too much more to go, and its a personal interest
- To play the stock market
- To open a franchise or other business
The adult industry and fetishism were always strong interests of mine growing up. While my pre-teen and teen peers were obsessing over N*Sync and the Backstreet Boys, I wasn't interested. I was fetishizing pornstars and fetish models. Ha. And femdom was a just a big fuck you to our world that tells us ladies need to be prim and proper. When I have kids, the only thing I'm going to teach them is to never listen to me because no one knows better than themselves. Anyway.
I do it for the money.
I had a career, when the economy changed it changed so I began cam.
I live in a very populated area where getting a job can happen but then driving in traffic takes forever which leave me with no time and a lot of stress.
I love working from home and making my own hours.
When I first started i thought about the psychological interest it sparked in me. Now I could care less about that. I know most people are dumb , cheap or sick. LOL I have met some nice guys camming who were polite and I must say NONE of them were from the USA. LOL
Working on my business plan currently.
Hoping to move out of State.
Sadly my only real camming goals these days are to not starve to death or find myself homeless.
(*sighs tiredly*)
This to will pass right?
goal 1.
work more
goal 2.
work more.
goal 3.
work more.
:)
For me its very much about being able to contribute to my family's financial situation. Not long ago it would have been "to support myself" but i now have a wonderful husband, who is working very hard and pursuing his education. So now it's to help both of us have enough money to get a real start in life.
Another big aspect for me, is that i have panic disorder, and it was brought on (in part) by being horrendously overworked in a specific office job i had, where i was not respected at all, and where it felt like every doctor's appointment meant i might be fired. When my back seized up and i was partially paralyzed for more than 3 weeks, i was getting actual demerits when my physical therapy ran longer than expected! I also felt i couldn't quit because a family member had gotten me the job, so i stayed until my morale had been beaten to a bloody pulp. The stress of that has given me aftershocks of panic in any type of typical work environment. As soon as i feel that office building AC, or see the glow of those florescent light tubes, i seize up in a tumble of thoughts about how no one believes my struggles, i'm always unprepared, never meet the objectives other people set for me, let myself down because i let others down, will never be worth anything in the "real world", etc. If i haven't forgotten to breath, i can keep from passing out now (yay! progress!) It has been 3 years since i quit and was diagnosed, and though i got pretty good at getting jobs....i would always flake out in a panic before the first day, and never go in.
So for me, the biggest goal of camming is to work for a boss that respects me, and to be a boss who respects me. Taking my livelihood by the horns, i guess.
For me the money is kind of secondary to setting up a career and work environment where I feel empowered to make and meet my own objectives.
I am saving up as much as possible to get out of this apt and into a house for my family!
I also want to travel and go on vacations, and I LOVE how camming allows me to do this...and still work when im away from home !! ;)
