Amazing! Congrats!

Yay! Glad you are feeling better. It's true about working from home- it is really easy to fixate on stuff- getting outside or even exercising helps to shift perspective.
I'm happy for my daughter- just a feeling a little sad that I won't be able to see her as much. Honestly if I was her- I would move too- it's a better environment. Where I live to do anything really fun we have to drive about an hour and a half away. Nothing is set in stone just yet. This just gives me a reason to travel in the future and it is one of the places I have wanted to visit. Thank you- everything will be okay :)
I've had some more sad thoughts and moments today and SM is being shite with trolls and freeloaders, seeing the positivity at the end of your post lifted the spirits. Everything WILL be okay. Biggest hugs :). I'm just going to finish my 4 hours today regardless of how it goes. 45 minutes left and tomorrow's Saturday, the masturbation day of the week :')
UPDATE: Finished the 4 hours, could have been better, could have been worse, but I'm happy I completed the hours.
This might be a weird question, but what do they do when they are sick? I get that they just stream anyway, but do they keep their face out of the frame? Is there a sympathy hustle that gets a regular to take them private to rest? I'd love to hear the strategy besides just taking the time off. Thank you!
Did not succeed, I did under 2.5 hours. I wanted to do 6 more hours by the time the contest ends tomorrow but it is so dead that I don't think I'm even going to bother. I literally just made $30 in 70 minutes, and what's crazy is that I moved up a few spots in the contest so a lot of people must be sucking. I'm going to try and give it another hour later and if it's dead I will just bounce.
I know this very well. I have to force myself to let things go, but, as mentioned...acknowledge & feel all those feels.
Feel the anxiety fully, or anger, or fear then reframe & refocus. It's easier said than done, but it works. After I've allowed myself to feel all the shit I engage in a meditation. When I'm calm I get back on.
Tough stuff, but you're tougher. Xoxo
That's what the fuck I said lolollll. THANKS!!!
Hahahaaa well he is :D I think it's funny you noticed...and damn does he like to talk a bit before getting nasty. Sooooo refreshing!
OMG, so glad everything is ok. Yes, it's hard to engage the self-care when it's not routine. I still struggle even tho I engage in meditation daily. We are only human. EDIT: Just re-read that...ummmm yeah, feeling is tough. It's a job for the strong haha.
I got super lucky. I was planning to try and do the last 2.5 of my 25 hour goal this morning because for me Saturdays tend to be busy earlier and dead in the afternoons, but my neighborhood had an internet outage for the whole morning so I figured I was screwed. I still hopped on after it was fixed just to give it a chance and actually ended up having a busy Saturday afternoon. It definitely must have been a slower week all around though because even though I only made $6 less than what I did during the last contest, during the last contest I was ranked 401-500th place and for this one I ended up ranked 101st-200th place. :O
1.5 hours into a 5hr shift and I am half way to my low goal. Hopefully this is a good sign of things to come.
Well I made it to 4 hours before I started yawning. I took a little break in between. Almost made my low goal.
It's well known among these models who have super long privates, that some of the members let them sleep in private. It's weird, but it happens. There is clearly some symphaty
On Jasmin you can't keep your face out of the frame. I don't know the exact strategy, except a strong discipline and will to sacrifice, so they can retire super rich. Some models don't wanna do it for their whole lives, they prefer to sacrifice 5-10 years and then do whatever they want.
Maybe they just don't get sick. I personally never get sick... for example, never ever in my life had a flu. I had a cold, but never a flu. My sickness usually means period cramps or some migraines, something that can be easily fixed with some ketopropfen or ibupropfen. Maybe these models are like me.
I also don't have other health issues either. Which makes me even more mad at myself for wasting so many years instead of rotting in front of cam :))))
Day shifts suck for me so bad. I barely made $1k this week, working 8 hours per day. Nope. NOPE.
Today is the last day, I am putting 12 hours. Yesterday I made $80 on a fucking saturday in 8 hours (10 with breaks).
The new payment period on Jasmin starts tuesday, so i take monday to wednesday off, then thursday i am back on night shifts for 2 weeks and see if i am insane or not.
I will do 7 PM- 7 AM UK time (or 5 AM).
OR maybe I should wait for 2 more weeks. I don't even know what to do. I realize I am being unpatient, when putting so many hours it sucks to stare on the walls (Thanks Miniclip. com for the amazing variety of games lol). Thoughts?
PS: This new payment period of 14 days fixed, on Jasmin, makes me realize there are 3 payment periods in one month :))) Two and a half, actually. It's weird but i will get used to it guess.
EDIT: My theory has been confirmed. Once it passed the 8 PM UK time, it started to pick up for me.
I guess I am coming back to night shift. Fuck it. It better be paying well.
Yesterday I didn't STFO but I did 3 hours, today I'm aiming for 5-6 hours, but it will be a token site so even if it's dead money-wise should be entertaining.
After my shift yesterday I realised my issue this week wasn't staying online for long hours or super long slow periods, my issue was rude people and timewasters! Yesterday was slow but I didn't have anyone rude or mean, so my mood was fine afterwards.
Anyway, here's to a day with hopefully very few rude guys!
Ooooh, I meant 8 hours per day!!! I will edit that now hahaha!
Well, rates are irrelevant since the % is different on the sites I work :))) (for example, on SM I charge $9.99/ $9.99, but I take 25%. On Jasmin I charge $3.99, but I charge $3 extra for c2c and $3 extra 2way audio, so if the member turns on his cam and mic, I automatically earn $9.99 per min. Also, the % is variable, up to 80%)
As a refference, when I did the night shifts, I made $4k in 12 days. I worked 12 days in a row, 8-10 hours/ day (10-12 with breaks).
The difference is enormous. My aim is to end up making $10k per month as a standard (aka $2.5k weeks). After I reach the $10k mark, I want to increase to even more. I am only willing to take this big sacrifice for ginormous amounts of $$.
I am super aware that I need to take the $1k weeks for 1-2 months, if i stick to the new schedule, untill i make regulars or so. But I admit I am unpatient :))) In the same time, i hate the night shifts, but my subconscious tells me that's where the money are :))) I feel like this is LOA big time, I atract what I believe in the subconscious :)))
I guess I will have to keep sacrificing, I want my big $$$$ :))))
I wanna play in the big leagues like @Sapphirexoxo, @Cutiecam and @Bigbum :)))
Okay, I’ve been on about three hours and have made just under $100. That’s absolutely terrible for a Sunday. I had one show that was 8 minutes and I’m getting tons of 2 minute shows. Idk what’s going on. I’m hopefully going to be on for another three this afternoon and I may come back tonight. Was sincerely hoping for a $3-400 day but it doesn’t look like that’ll happen.
i did not end up reaching new paycheck high that week before the contest lol. maybe i will push again this week if it seems possible. recently i added a new egg to the basket and it’s been crazyyy lucrative. yesterday i got spoiled hard and struggled with finding the motivation to get on cam last night after the cut off. i can already see this becoming a problem... i had one exclusive but afterwards was feeling like such a spoiled princess that i didn’t even want to sit there for more than 5 mins at a time. was a bad minibagel and only lasted 36 mins total online (including the show). tonight i will SNAP THE FCK out of it and make myself sit there properly and do the time. no matter what i must stick to my ~20-25 hours a week streamate until i can do mfc again (haha), bc with everything combined i can start shooting for higher weekly & monthly goals.
ugh same! last night was decent so I was really hoping that would roll over to this afternoon but....not so much. I'm determined to STFO regardless because too often I'll just call it quits when its dead and not even give it the time to turn it around...here's hoping! fucking football!
I ended up making about $210 in six hours. Not particularly happy with that for a day that’s usually my best of the week. Going to have to pull some late nights this coming week to meet my massive goal. Also planning to buy a new laptop next month so I’ll be on this thread a lot. I mostly struggle to stay on weeknights because I’m a mom all day long and by the end of the day I don’t want to do anything but it’s the only time I have to work. I need to be better about staying on those days.
I am going to try doing two shifts a day starting with today. I want to work a 4hr morning shift and a 4hr evening shift. Starting my morning shift now.
I have been slacking off lately. I need to be more consistent with my hours.
Damn, been on 2 hrs and it's bloody dreadful lololll. Hmmm, looks like I'll have to STFO 8 hrs a day this week cause I've got a hefty goal...and according to last year 25 hrs this week produced a low hrly. Well, not gonna piss and moan. Just gotta find a way to stay sane during these hours.
C'mon Sha...let's do thiiiiiiiis!!! But first, a meditation break :D
UPDATE:
During meditation someone binged my clips on SM and I'm at low goal in 2.5 hrs. THAT'S fuckin sweet :D
STFO 8 hrs still. Mama needs to pay some bills lolollll
UPDATE:
3.5 hrs and med goal. Well this is fuckin swell. I just gotta keep STFO. Mmmm, I can smell the money :D
UPDATE:
Right at about 5 hrs and thank fuck for them level 3 regs comin to see me!!! Better late than never, right? And they were so generous with the GOLD. FUCK, thank you UNIVERSE!!!
