Re: Camming for your bills
Reading through these replies I seriously do have some admiration for you!! Ill be honest with you, I'd moved out with a family member over the summer and camming was my only source of income and I was earning about £5-600 a week and at the moment I don't cam nearly as much as I used to, I work in a nursing home part time and I'm saving up for a deposit to move out closer to my bf and friends and into the city by which time I wanna be back on to full time camming. My only concern and fear is officially leaving your reg day job for camming and also not being employable over a certain time.. Lol

Why can't you cam while he's sleeping?
I usually cam at night after the kids go to bed, and hubby is also a night owl so he will stay up till 1am-ish and then I come to bed about 2am or 3am, and then he gets up with the kids in the mornings and I get up about 10am. Then if I take the night off I'll get up with the kids the next morning to give him a break.

Don't you find that the sound of you camming keeps him awake? I have wanted to cam late at night (I'm a total night owl by nature!!) and even though I have a separate camming room, it is across the hall from the bedroom, and the sound of my music/moaning keeps him from sleeping!!
I'm really not too concerned about it - I cam during the day and it's all fine, but I just wondered how you do it without keeping him up at night!

My camming kept RP up until I did a few things:
Weather stripping around the cracks of the door:
http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=495372
Door bumpers along the lower edge of the door (I made the bottom panel out of a slick faux leather and the door slid shut easier):
http://www.ehow.com/how_12140058_mak...insulator.html
White noise machine (this is the one we had):
http://www.amazon.com/Sound-Oasis-S-...=sound+machine
The first two worked fine for most noise but, "when you get 'really loud' I can still hear you. So. At the end of your shows." So I got the white noise machine to drown out the orgasms. Many times he'd be so sound asleep that he'd be startled when I climbed into bed at the end of the night.

In this house I put the book case up against the shared wall (adds a layer of sound baffling) and put egg crate foam and carpet up against the back of the door and weather stripping in the cracks of the door. It's sound proof enough now that he doesn't even know if I'm home. If he's not home when I start camming I get texts in the middle of shows, "Are you home right now?"

Nope, not at all but then again our house is spaced out enough to not have my camming room right next to the bedroom, and I'm not too loud anyway.
Re: Camming for your bills
Camming is my only source of income while I'm in school full-time. But it's just me, so it's pretty easy to meet my needs with cam money.
It's been pretty reliable for me- I get what I put into it. And the checks are like clockwork from SM. Love it.
Re: Camming for your bills
I own a small rental property and cam. I would never date a guy who was unemployed and unable to improve my life. I work too hard already, screw that and I'm not getting any younger.

Exactly.
I read all these posts/threads about camgirls supporting their boyfriends/husbands and I'm like WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I never really want to say anything because I know some will say that I'm being judgmental *rolls eyes*.
I couldn't have a useless man around the house. I don't get all these girls that move their boyfriend into their homes and then
are like "Ooh he's mad at me because I can't make the rent"...really? Why the fuck can't he make the rent?
I just feel like it would be a waste of space to have a guy around that doesn't have a good job/make at least more money than I do. It would be a total inconvenience him being there. I guess my beliefs stems from being Nigerian - we believe a man should take care of the household though I understand I'm in America and believe in a two income home and working together. Right now I live in a great place and live very well, have an amazing boyfriend , have sugardaddies - I
can't imagine bringing some guy in here that didn't do shit for me. I have read the threads and came to the conclusion that a lot of adult entertainers have broke ass boyfriends or husbands for
whatever reason. I also find it amazing that some of those girls are the girls protesting that you "RAISE YOUR RATES" and "YOU'RE WORTH MORE" on these camsites.
It is one. big. fucking. joke.
end rant/ end threadjack/
My advice to anyone here trying to do this full time would be to save your money and find another source of income (a side gig). I used to cam full time years ago and make bank. God knows you never know when your vagina will turn green/or when you'll burn out. Today I can't cam full time because I'm pretty much spoiled. I know I can make what I made and what some of you are currently making camming in a day in a few hours in my current line of work. Camming is great because you can work from home and save on gas and you never really have to ship the kids of to the babysitter if you cam while they're sleep but it can be exhausting. And to make it primary income is hard as hell in these times where more and more girls are becoming camgirls ... not just more girl... HOTTER girls :-). Kudos to those of you that have worked your way to the top (Sarah and others) but to the rest of you that are living on the edge and struggling to make your goal, find something else to do. I've lived on the edge and it ain't fun.
Tis all.

Could you... post pictures of all this? Or post it in verified if not in CC. I'm really trying to noiseproof my place and have done similar things, but maybe I did it wrong. I know there have been lots of "how to block noise" posts lately. Thanks! If not its ok.

I guess I'm one of those camgirls who supports her "broke ass husband" but for those of us who don't adhere to strict traditional gender roles, it really doesn't matter WHO the breadwinner is. Why is it a fucking joke that my husband looks after the kids, changes diapers, cleans etc. while I work and earn money for the family? Just because I have a vagina, means I'm not capable of taking care of the household myself? I believe men and women can both accomplish the same things. Men can take care of babies and women can be the breadwinners, if that's what works for that particular family. In our case, it doesn't make sense for him to go out and work a job where he'd likely make around $20/hour... then I would either have to quit camming or only cam late at night (which I hate), or spend a ridiculous amount of money putting our kids in daycare every day, the cost of which would negate the benefits of his job to begin with!
I personally don't mind working for the family, I mean I barely "work" as it is, just a few hours camming each day, plus a few hours working on my side-income projects which I love doing anyway so I don't consider it "work". And meanwhile, daddy gets to stay home with the kids and me all day, we get to spend a lot of time having fun and relaxing together instead of him being out in the workforce 40-50 hours a week to bring home pennies.
Anyway, that's my reasoning behind it. Every situation is different though. I certainly don't condone doing everything yourself while your man sits on his ass and does nothing but being a stay at home parent is NOT nothing.
I'm pretty sure we've had this very same debate several times in the past though, because I just realized who you are. LOL. :D

My opinion is...whatever works well for you is great :)
Re: Camming for your bills
Smurfette that isn't supporting your husband. That's a mutually convenient arrangement!If he was out at work, it would be you at home with the kids. You're 'out at work' apart from you've gotten rid of the 'out' bit thus giving you more time as a family.
That's totally different-to something such as a woman slogging her ass off camming whilst her deadbeat man sits around doing nowt and expecting her to pay for everything :)

Agreed! In this day and age, the whole 'husband goes off to work while wifey raises the kids and cleans the house' is a pretty rare set up, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the woman working while the man takes care of the kids.
It all depends on why the husband isn't working. If it's to slob in front of the TV all day, then that's bad, but it's also bad if the husband works while the wife slobs in front of the TV all day! SarahTime's husband isn't working, because he's studying, which is an investment in the future of their family.
I think as long as the non-earning partner is bringing something useful to the family, then it really doesn't matter if the husband or the wife is the one actually bringing in the money.

I'm just now seeing this. Were you just seeking attention? Because I just read my post for the third time and I don't see where I mentioned you or your husband. Do you think I follow your posts around and wrote my post for you? Newsflash: I do NOT know you or your situation nor do you know my beliefs. If you did, you wouldn't have post your rant. .My post was for those that continue to support useless men NOT for those that stick with their spouse/loved ones during hard times. Now if you were simply playing house like A LOT of girls do and he was just your boyfriend, I'd say yeahh.. he's a loser.
Re: Camming for your bills
I have a job and a degree. I like the extra income and that's all it boils down to. My husband works and if it weren't for the fact that nursing is a secure job always in demand I would cam full time and stay home all day.
