Re: Need some encouragement!
I've been in a similar situation before. I find setting short term goals really helps.
i.e. "I want to make at least $1,500 this week so I can pay my rent, save $400 for my holiday, and have $200 spending money"
then i'd try to make as much of my spending money roll over onto the next week to add to my savings.
each week i'd try & do just as well as the week before, if not better!
I always used to record in a notepad where all my money went. for some reason I really enjoyed being able to look at it.
just a few ideas :)
Re: Need some encouragement!
Hey thank you! I'm very nervous about making camming my only income. And I will be moving out soon so it will be my lifeline.
Re: Need some encouragement!
i also find that when i feel like i can't be bothered, i get ready anyway. then by the time i'm ready, i'm really motivated to start work!
Re: Need some encouragement!
For me my motivation was kinda of a timing is everything kind of moment. So I separated from the person i was with and I found my self not really wanting to go out and hang out like i once did, in fact i avoided the topic when friends would try to do things with me, and honestly i was bored in the house and i guess to really take my mind off of shit I would just play some soft music, get my mind in the mood, get all dolled up and Id cam till I got tired. I was doing a total of 50-55 hours a week so I wasn't camming all day. I didnt even check to see how much i was making at the end of the day, which may sound weird but I feel it keeps me sane to not know if all i made was 20$ for 4 hours. So one day I go check the mail and surprise, surprise my check arrives a day early, I opened it and it for a lil over 6 grand. And that's been my motivation every since.
You treat this like a job and you work the hours it will pay off. Even if your having a bad day, take a bathe, relax, put it out of your mind ( the more you try the easier it gets) and go and make your money. True, its up and down but you will never find out what you can make if your not there to make it. Someone else will however.
Re: Need some encouragement!
and try making vids for your site, I only have 3 up right now but i get about 65-100 a day with them. There foot films so Im sure if you do vids that aren't such a fetish you can bring in more then that.
