Re: Setting Camming Goals
I used to focus on a money goal, but I found it stressed me out way too much. As soon as I started focusing on JUST the amount of hours I want to put in per week, the money followed. Once I figured out how many hours I can put in each week realistically, I then determined how many days per week I wanted to work in order to meet my weekly hours goal.
Re: Setting Camming Goals
Yeah, focusing on hours seems to work well for me. If I set a $$$ goal, there's a higher chance I'll get discouraged if it happens to be slow & taking a long time... I'll get really impatient and I might quit prematurely. But if my goal is "4 hours", I just start logging the time and I don't worry about my earnings too much. Ultimately I usually end up making MORE this way, because if it's slow, I'll stick it out... and if it's busy, I won't just immediately log off after making a satisfying amount. I'll keep going until the time's up, adding to my total.
Re: Setting Camming Goals
I agree with focusing on the hours rather than money. I used to say that I wanted a certain amount of money each day but all that matters to me is where I end up at the end of the week. So try starting with an hourly goal each day. Focusing on a weekly hourly goal might be too much at first. Take it one day at a time and see where it gets you.
Re: Setting Camming Goals
I do both hourly and money. But I realize that just as with any job there are going to be slow days and periods that are beyond my control. But I have x amount I need to make to keep from going back to vanilla full time. I can't get caught up in that though because of the slow days.... So when the shows are hot and nonstop I just keep going unless I have something that I have to stop for such as an early am wakeup ( and it seems like those nights are my best). But I have learned if I don't put in the hours then nobody can buy a show.

I mean I make money but I think I could make so much more if I set goals. I usually log on and log off when I get sleepy or bored. If anyone has strategy or formula I would love to hear it!

The first question I need to ask is what are you setting goals for?
More money? More time? Better hustles?
You need to figure out which 'star' in your life's sky you are going to direct yourself by FIRST before you can figure out how you are going to follow that star and then how to measure whether or not you are on course to get there.
If not you'll just end up chasing stars that 'look' like 'your' star but you'll end up really lost and frustrated because you never seem to be making any progress at all getting anywhere.
I hope that makes sense, I am really on exhausted side today.
I will just use a famous quote to explain what I mean, seeing I am so brain dead today.

Re: Setting Camming Goals
These are awesome suggestions! Thank you so much! I think I will focus on hours with a $$$ goal in the back of my mind and but focus more on hours.

This is great! I like the way you put this! I think my goal is to get into a a camming routine because I really don't have one and just focus on hours for now.:peace:
Re: Setting Camming Goals
I find if I don't set a goal, I have no pressure and can work smoothly as I please. Goals can = pressure and I have had time run out, guys can be slow to tip. So... I just put up my header most the time and have fun, log off when I want. They get what they tipped for. To reach 3,000 tokens can take some time, often more time than I have.
Goals are great! They motivate, just don't think they sit well with me on cam.
Re: Setting Camming Goals
i hate money goals...i had one for a long time when i started camming.
i dont hate them just because they can be stressful...but because they can limit you too!! i didnt start making way more till i stopped having a money goal. my only money goal now is to make as much as i can lol. :D
hourly goals are soooo much better. that is the only thing you can really control. just do ur hours and work as hard as u can while ur there.
Re: Setting Camming Goals
I get stressed with monetary goals. I'll go for hours or for a set monetary goal like, 500 a week. If I try and go per day it stresses me out.
Re: Setting Camming Goals
This thread has really helped me too! I stress about money goals a lot...it just makes more sense to strive for hours and the money will come with it! I often stop camming once I've made my money goal for the day, limiting myself. And now that we see our hours for the month on the new ranking feature, it makes more sense to strive for more hours!
Re: Setting Camming Goals
I try to do hours only. My ass needs to SIT and STAY on cam. I'll go for money when I've built up a following.
