Organization of income/time worked/ planned work hours??
Good morning beautiful. :)
So. This is kind of an issue I've struggled with for the past 2 years.
I'm sure all us camgirls plan on working at a certain time on a certain day, or plan on making a certain amount in a week- but it doesn't always go the way you planned.
PLUS, Streamate has the weirdest pay-week. Starts on Saturdays at 6pm (for me) and ends the next Saturday at 5:59pm. UGH! Then, that check is paid out on Wednesday, and I get it on Monday.
I was wondering if anyone has thought up a simple way to keep track of all this. Like, I wanna keep track of what amount I will get on each Monday, and what amount I made during that week. But I have yet to find a planner/scheduler that I can modify to fit my needs.
What do you ladies do to keep track of your work hours and/or money made and money received?

I put everything in excel, I just go into the earnings page, by day and put in Customer Session Ended (GMT) Type Price Chat Time Earned as headings, you can then just c&p it right from earnings page to excel, I add a column for the date and then a row across and a column down for daily and weekly totals. I also made a duplicate, but one that I can mess with, sort by guys name so I can see how often he comes online or how ever I want.. I made the mistake by not making a separate one and all the money totals went to the bottom of the page(PITA to have to redo) so I just keep 2 separate files, The second without the weekly and daily totals :)

Im not sure I 100% understand what kind of system youre looking for (amount of time online vs amount earned her hour?) but you may find this thread useful: http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...harting-trends

I actually do it by hand - I have a notice board next to my desk and pin up various goal sheets, targets, print-outs of earnings, etc etc.
My week works from Mon-Sat (I take sundays off, and work daytime). I have one sheet where I track my earnings for each month. It is split into four weeks, and I count each month as the month that I will GET the money, not when I EARN the money. So right now, I have a table up for Jan 2013, because the money I earn this week will be received the first week of Jan. I have a little table drawn up that looks something like this:
Week 1 (dates worked)
Paid out (date I expect to get the check)
Day Hour Goal Hours Worked $Goal $Made
Then I just fill it in below that.
I also have another sheet that has my "plan" for where the money goes, also divided into weeks. It's a list that has my daily goal, and then next to the goal, what it will go towards paying, for example:
Mon - $250 $250 bills
Tues - $250 $100 bills, $150 to rent
I check it off as I earn it, so I can see exactly what I am earning, what I have paid for that day, and what I have left to make.
Finally, I have a little book where I track my goals and plans, and I have a list of what I should be paying/saving each month, so that I can tick that off as well.
I would just find whatever system works well for YOU - I know that I am very visual - I like my charts and tables - and that the way I look at money and calendars is very different to how my partner looks at it and budgets. The system that works for me may not make any sense to you, or might not work. Figure out exactly what you want to get from your tracking (find out the most lucrative times? Track your hours to motivate you to work more? Just make sure you will always have enough money?) and then the best way to figure that out for however your brain works.
