Why people feel the need to open these challenge treads & show off with how much money they make?! Or is this a 'bait' thread i just bite lol?! I know i would keep it to myself if i was making that much a week & be considerate for the ones not making that much. While is a good thing for the people making bank these posts make the lower earning performers feel not good cause they believe they doing crap & are 'bad' performers. This is a blade with 2 sharp sides tse tse
A lot of people use these threads for motivation. I know I do. $4,000 is way out of my range, but props to those who can attain that goal. I see it as something to strive for in the future. In camming, the sky is the limit.
It makes me sad to see this. People like opening challenge threads as a way to motivate them to attain their goals and better themselves career-wise. Threads like this can be incredibly motivating for some people, including non-participants like me, and someone as a currently "low earner" (if we're gonna put ourselves in boxes this way!) I mean, yeah I might be a low earner right now, but I'm a very strong believer in positive change. I mean, I made all of $60 this week, and I haven't been on cam as much I should have been, but I'm gonna need to hustle hard tonight to make up for it, and I need to believe I can up my game and make more as I need to.
No one is saying that anyone making under 4k a week is "doing crap", or is a "bad performer".
I'm pretty sure whoever would say such a thing would be shut up pretty quickly, and rightly so... [ETA] - omg.. that actually DID happen to me come to think of it! O_O I just remembered, I was on the receiving end of a very successful camgirl damning me for earning little, but I was still feeling happy with my earnings, and oh my gosh that criticism got to me so much... But it also taught me that it's better to feel proud of what you make, regardless of what other people think of you. Ultimately it is about what you want, how happy you are with your earnings, and how much you believe in what you can make in the future.
But yeah, there's also the thread for earners in the $500 a week range... I'm not even making that right now! But I enjoy seeing that one pop up when it does, as those ladies are just as motivating to me.
Bottom line: No matter WHAT you make - we're still here for you, still believing in you, and still wanting to encourage you to be the best you can. No one deserves to feel shamed: whether they're low earners, high earners, or anything inbetween.
^This. I love seeing ladies make money, even if it is more than I make. I don't find it threatening at all. I look at threads like this and it makes me want to up my game. It's exciting that it's possible to make that much. There aren't many jobs where you could do that.
oh please, this thread.. no..

There's the 1k a day challenge though! That 5 days a week and you have a 5k a week challenge. Could be done... Kblah!!! D: I hope we can just stop.... this.. and either be on-board with this kind of motivation, or put our minds to something we DO find motivating, or ask for help if someone wants help or support (more directed to AliceFun but hopefully ykwim). <3
I really fail to see how anyone doing well should make you feel bad. when I see others doing well I'm happy for them. Why can't a top earner take pride in job well done and share that with her fellow workers? I don't believe in asking others to hide their light so I can shine. That is bad karma.
Sorry, my bad, feel free to be inspired ladies, i just know how much damage such posts do to others same like they do good, these performers just dont talk about it cause they feel ashamed to tell how much they affected, some simply give up camming or take long breaks cause they feel they cant compete. I am fine NOW with how much i make no matter the number, i understood in time how fake people are, i am good. The post came from a 1st time poster & i considered it a troll tread. You can say whatever u want here, i know there are people just having fun manipulating others and often people are behaving like sheeps.
If camming is merely a competition to some ladies who end up dropping out of camming just because their earnings aren't matching up to other ladies on SW, it's probably just as well they leave, because it's a job, not some contest to see who can out-earn who.
Who even cares if the OP is a troll, though? The only more intentionally negative air that's been sent out is that from established posters calling this person a troll in the first place. And, troll or not, this is still a motivational / challenge thread, and you'd better believe there are camgirls making a lot more than 4k a week! They're the ones who probably don't even have the time to post here! XD There's a top girl on SM who was interviewed - she said she made over $6k her first week - and sure, she might have been being "fake" as you put it, but I certainly believe it's been done.
What if the OP is one of those top girls? Surely giving someone the benefit of the doubt is better than jumping to call the OP a troll just because of something like this?
Shitty accusations like this could be so off-putting to those very highly earning camgirls who perhaps want to be a part of SW, but feel they cannot post here in case it offends someone when their contributions could be so valuable to us...
Damn, Only $4000? My main cam site says I can make up to $10,000 per week. That's what I've always been shooting for!
I say, go for it. $4000 doesn't seem unrealistic at all. You can do it BBs!
Soo embarrassed, i got it all wrong then, i was talking about an idea, in general... guess i am PMSing, forgive me
Is ok, You adorable, i finally seen u on cam doing a GS count down, loved it, love ur accent, sweet! xxx
Alice, I know what you are talking about.
When I first started camming it was AWFUL. I was making $4 and $5 bucks a day (on occasion that still happens). When I first got on stripper web and saw all these threads about making hundreds and thousands a week I felt really bad... like maybe I just sucked as a cam girl. But then, I started reading and learning. I still don't make thousands... sometimes I struggle to make hundreds but I'm getting better. I've learned to be motivated by these threads rather than discouraged. I'm still very embarrassed when I post getting excited about making $40 or $50 in a day but that's a decent day for me so I celebrate it! I've had 3 nights over a hundred lately and it feels great. I'm glad for these motivational threads and I've even started one of my own but I see your point totally they can make some girls feel ashamed and sad about their own performances.
Don't be embarrassed to express yourself. My post I hope didn't make you feel bad just offering another way of looking at things. Camming is a job some will make more others less. People want to celebrate when they feel good and we like to vent when we feel bad. SW offers a place for both.
I think most of the ladies starting the earnings thread have good intentions to motivate each other and help push each other higher. Everyone falls short of their goals sometimes, so don't feel bad we all have bad weeks and good weeks. Heck one day I make 250 the next 20 same amount of time. This business is a roller coaster. Just remember on SW most of the ladies are here with good intentions.
Positivity brings success and abundance for me, so I like to surround myself with positivity and goals that push me. So these threads are nice. I don't like the negative ones though because they aren't relevant to myself or my lifestyle. That sounds weird, but its sooo true!
I agree with everything about these threads. "I know i would keep it to myself if i was making that much a week & be considerate for the ones not making that much." Agree 100%. For A LOT of ppl it can be heart wrenching, girls cry, its like beating yourself to keep up and eventually you break. (not you, in general :D) I have been through this myself. I will never reveal my earnings on a forum. I will never say I made XYZ this week. I have a idea :D Most of us do this to live a comfortable life. I challenge everyone to find a way to live comfortable
Alice, I do agree with you. I do think earnings and such are personal
I also think some of the models use this for inspiration.
I'm gonna have to disagree with this. I was actually going to make a $500 a day thread. I didn't want to show off or make others feel bad, but to gather with and encourage those who have similar goals. I started camming seriously from a 5 year haitus last summer making $100-135 or so per day and very part time. I cam to SW as a phone sex operator and then started working my ass off on cam and getting encouraged by what others were doing. I realized several were split-camming and I jumped on that train as well.
I'm not trying to brag here but the other day I made $547 in a night, something I'd never imagined I'd do as a BBW. Days before I made $447 or so. Of course I knew I could eventually, but I thought it would take years to climb from $100-600 in a day. I thought that was reserved for thin Caucasian women who looked like models, and did GS for 15 hours a day. Even though I'm very confident in myself, I realized that things were different for an ebony bbw and I had to fight to stand out and demand the guys pay me the same as my Caucasian sisters.
My point is, I've personally never seen the $$ Challenge threads as a threat or a "brag" thread. They generally are just goal-focused threads for girls who are averaging a certain amount, or are trying to make a goal. We all make different money from the next girl so having multiple goal threads are essential. I've never looked at the $1k a day, or $2k per week threads because I wasn't on that level. If I know I don't make their amount, why would I go in and torture myself or make myself feel bad? If I were to go in there, it was to get encouragement that one day, I too could get to that level. Now that I've made $500+ in a day I will probably aim for the $2k a week thread but it's only so I can reach for a higher goal.
A challenge thread isn't a show off thread, it's a thread dedicated for those who are honest with themselves with what they make, and or are aiming to make that goal. If you don't like the high goal threads, why even go inside them? Why damage yourself by comparing what you make to others unless they make the same as you? At the end of the day, we are all here to hold one another up. There's nothing wrong with making more or less and no one is better than the next.
I didn't want to offend anyone guys. I found these threads very motivating and they ve actually helped me to reach this level I am at now... I have been working very hard to get there and believe that anyone can do it!!!
When i was new on SW i posted in here about making very little money after SM introduced Gold Shows, i posted a number, i got comments from people "if u making that less there must be something very wrong there", etc etc. I said to myself i will never ever post numbers again, not the big ones nor the small ones.
I know i cringed, cried & regret posting. If i post in 'camming rocks' i will not post numbers just 'i did good, i am happy, it was a great day', etc.
In 'camming sucks tread i sometimes post when i feel bad about not doing too good, i also thank people in both threads but more in 'camming sucks' because i want them to know and feel i am near them, i understand their pain/ frustration & offer support either with a comment or Thank.
I might come off as a frustrated low earning performer or hater but i am not, i tend to talk about things that upset me cause i need support or to share these feelings, i dont talk much about the good things happening in my life cause good things are natural to happen, we get & enjoy them, feel good, feel happy & go on.
The non pleasant events are not natural, they disturb us, i need to talk about it with people understanding things properly like no one out of the industry does, i talk with u ladies about things that nobody know or are able to understand.
I also learned to keep a low profile during my cam work years & in general i look and act as humble as possible now after i experienced certain reactions from people around me, family included. When i was young & thin i did good money on cam sites, many years ago lol; i had a boyfriend visiting often, people in my building saw us always coming in with full bags, i renovated the apartment, always buying things (electronics, furniture, etc), i felt them looking to me/ us in a specific way, being either jealous, feeling bad about not having what i had, hating me, etc etc, even my brothers and parents were expecting me to help financially to the point where they felt like not returning the money i borrowed them (one of my brothers did this).
Then i decided to keep a low profile & dont tell about high earnings, just me and my son knew how much i was making actually. Being a person who suffered a lot in life i tend to protect the less fortunate people and dont show off towards them how great i do. Of course some people find these treads inspirational & get the good part of it, depends what u see when u look at the glass, the full part of the empty one, that's an individual option to see things connected mostly to life experience & the way u see things around you.
Either way people have the freedom to talk about what they consider is important to them so again, i apologize for creating a semi-drama, i was just thinking about the less fortunate performers feeling discouraged by the $$ numbers shown in here. Cant help it, this is me & my heart will always go 1st to the ones struggling cause they need more support simply. Have Peace & thank You for understanding.
^^^ This is an anonymous forum though? I'm sure most people on this entire forum don't share these things in real life with non-performers. Or they learn really quickly not to.
