Love this, I'm a writer and was a big reader so I am committed to fit more reading time in. Guys side note you can open up your kindle on the kindle reader website so switch between tabs for reading :).

Today it's slow for me too, in 2,5 hours only made $13 ughh...Yesterday was much better. 3,5 more hours today, hopefully it picks up for us xx
You are welcome Leila, you are a star and I hear you I want to be doing a minimum of 21 hours a week consistently but would like to try to aim for 28. High week goal is 35. Hope you've been having a great week!

Online super late today. I woke up with an ugly headache and i took a pill and got back in bed and slept more. Putting only 6 hours.
Meanwhile, this is on my desktop (I swear it can read my thoughts, because I was feeling bad for putting only 6 hours, but fuck it, I still shown up for half of the shift!):

I did the 6 hours and made $236, I'm so happy now! I have to log off now, as I have 2 hours to get ready for the house party: put aside the cam stuff, clean the room and make snacks.

Very sorry to hear about this Adriana. Had this happen to me for other work in the past and it is heart breaking, you should be so proud of yourself for putting it to the side and continuing to soldier on.

He said "So you'll give me quality?" I said "Perhaps take a look at my tags and comments to make your decision."
Well, he went EXCL and proceeded to tip almost $300 GOLD. That show blew my fuckin mind. Sisters, you don't know what you'll get unless you ask for it. I just kept encouraging him to make the vibe go full blast with tips more than $20 GOLD. He obliged.
ASK THESE FELLAS!!!

As in for me, back on the STFO wagon. I wanted to also take today off, but period comes in a few days so i will take 3 days off then.
10 hours, there we go!
Edit: 8 hours and I had an outstanding day. Spoiled me wanted to take the rest of the day off, to make it up for the days when i did stfo whole shift to barely make my goal, but I said NO! This is what helped me destroy my progress back in the day. I'd work like crazy and once things started to go well, i'd become spoiled and log off early. Not anymore. STFO for 2 more hours. Schedule is schedule!!
Ended at 10 hours and 30 ish minutes. Right when the timer was showing 9 hours and 57 minutes, someone took me to private for 30 minutes. Soooo... yeah. STFO till the very last minute, you never know what happens!
Gosh the last bit of that Cutie was just the inspiration I needed. Getting back on this horse, got my hours goal and achievable dollar goal per week and determined to stick with it. :D

I'm committing to 200hrs minimum this month working 10hrs a day 5 days a week every week. Starting this week I got a late start and my tech let me down at the beginning of my shift but I'm still aiming for 6hrs today with 4 down and counting... I'm very happy I didn't quit at the 2hr mark like I wanted to as I've earned 7x what I had at that time since.
Has it been tough? You bet but failure is not an option this year.
UPDATE: I managed my 6hrs and that's my first 10hrs done for this week in the past 24hrs I'm very proud of myself and I hit high goal, this STFO is working so far.
Love this post! Super inspiring

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Sorry to spam you guys but honestly all this inspiration is just what the doctor ordered. Seeing the highs and the lows is important because it shows us just how things can turn around.
@Vlodina I get you on having issues in your personal life, I only managed 15 minutes yesterday cos of that but that's still better than nothing at the end of the day and completing your 8 hours regardless of what you make is a big achievement, totally get you there.
@Freyasnecklace hitting $120 an hour that's fricking epic girl, absolutely brilliant.
@Emkato, I swear every time I start writing a post here about how things are so slow I always get taken into a show :'D
Cutie love that post about 80% of success is showing up, gonna make that my wallpaper. And I think you're right about building up the hours. I realised that to still enjoy the job and protect my mental health, for now at least, I shouldn't really exceed 4 hours a day unless of course it's going really good because it's always easy to find the motivation then. The other goal for this year of course is as you say not logging off if your hours aren't done just because things are going well. And I want to get up earlier and start getting my hours done at the beginning of the day, then if I feel like it in the evening I can put in extra but I don't have to.
Been slow today and SM has been glitching like mad but I'm very grateful for what I've made so far and just care about completing my hours :). Also due to aforementioned personal stuff was feeling sad and had a customer really cheer me up this morning, in that sense I feel like camming can be a great and productive distraction from the other trials and tribulations of life.
Good luck everybody!

Exactly. That's what you should do, do what makes you feel comfortable. Camming is about freedom, free to make your hours, schedule, free to take as much time as you need to relax and get at a better mental state. But it's also about discipline, no matter how short the hours are, you gotta show up. We don't have a fixed salary, so if we don't show up and we're not responsible, we don't eat lol.
My work regimen is different and it's not everyone's cup of tea. That's because I took it easy for 10 years. With short bursts of hard work in between, but never like now. I also have choosen the freedom to work harder because I am obsessed to become a top earning camgirl, I wanna see how the actual luxury and rich feels like, I wanna see how it is to crave for a brand new Audi and only have to choose the color (it was an example, but I'd like a brand new Audi sometimes in this life lol).
Many choose camming for the freedom of having a life, it's understandable why one wouldn't want to lock themselves in the house for weeks in a row. But for those who decide to take it hardcore... oh... the prize :))))
No one punished me for working less all of those years, no one shamed me for taking this time off camming when i was burned out and no one gave me a medal for finally showing up and working hard. It's me and my life that has been influenced, in good or bad, by my own decisions. And my bank account, of course. That's the freedom of camming.
We all have different goals and expectations, but guess what. Everyone is FREE to try harder or take it slower.
If there's something blessed about camming, is that you are not being affected, shamed or punished if you decide to take it slow and enjoy life.
Never feel bad for choosing to work the number of hours you want to. It's YOUR life, you know better what you want from it, what your goals and aspirations are and such. Just do whaterver you want, as time as you show up at regular hours and build regulars!

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Yesterday, I did stfo. 6 hrs and I hit low goal. I decided to get the gel hell off, clear my head, and make a clip. Woke up to a few sold vids! Ready to attempt 6-8 hrs again. Good luck everyone. You’re all hot af.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Starting my STFO journey, 6 hours today.
ETA: 3.5 down, break time. It's good money today but I am tired already! I think my big reward to staying on this month is raising my rates!
Final edit: Damn, got caught up in uploading vids. I need to streamline that somehow for next week.

Yes indeed, it's consistency I need and I feel great about the hours I'm trying to do for the moment, building up good habits. Because if you consistently hit 4 hours then you can hit 5 and then 6 eventually. The thing for me is I have a dream career I'm trying to make happen separate to camming and it's giving me the freedom to do it but only if I'm consistent. Once I feel on top of camming and the money it's bringing in I can really focus on making that other dream come true. I've almost done my 4 hours for today! I feel like if I have that as my minimum I'm proud of any extra hours I do as a bonus. But I do see a point where I might try 10 hours a day when I have a specific financial goal in mind and I'll have already put the ground work in. As you say you have to be accountable for yourself because you are your own boss and no one else will be. But I love the freedom of this job which you can't really find anywhere else. I can build my job around my life for the first time. And if you have a slow day or week, you have the ability to choose to smash it the next and I love that too. Constant opportunities to self improve and grow :)
Update: I also managed to do my 4 hours in one go! As Cutie said want to get used to doing my hours with no or minimal breaks. Yay!

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
got home from visiting the fam tuesday night. last year in 2021 i started out streaming 10-15 hours a week, in july i leveled up to 20-25 hour weeks, and then by mid october dropped down to 5 hrs week. i think for 2022 i will go back to just 10 hrs 15 max/ week goal, better for my sanity that way haha

in january i hope to see the return of TRAFFIC, room topics, tags, and only little baby glitches. no more offline screen nonsense! that is like the most serious glitch that needs to be resolved i'd say. let’s Make Streamate Great Again 2022!!!
p.s. after reading through here & the SM thread sounds like sm is as glitchy as ever, minus the return of tag accessibility. my last shift 3 weeks ago my stream kept showing as 'offline' at least a dozen times and it seems last night models were having trouble just logging on? ugh

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Shift in 3 parts. Part one was good. SIGH. I have a migraine, though.
Part 2 was garbage. At 1000 for 2 days. I need it to rain money tonight because my goal by Saturday afternoon is A LOT.
Part 3 was canceled due to my sick kid. Need to be available. Plan is to fit a full shift with a short break in tomorrow.
Good luck beauties

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.

update: did 1hr 11 mins more. will do 3-4 more hours before the cut off saturday. only glitch i experienced was a white screen on the member's side during c2c ughhh

Yup, I keep getting error glitches, yesterday I had a regular who persisted coming back luckily but today I persuaded someone new to go exclusive for a simple show, kicked us out and he didn't come back arrrgh makes STFO a little trickier but we must persist. These glitches tend to only happen during a period and don't come back. Apparently Thursdays are the worst. Last night I had the chance to have an early night and didn't take it grrrr, but still fitting in at least 45 minutes this morning before my training session and will do the remaining hours when I get back. Let's goooooo

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.

Hang in there. Do you sell clips? Sometimes I log the fuck off and make a clip when it is way too slow.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
I've already reached my 30 hours goal for the week and made $650! OMG STFO pays off, and it's not that hard doing 30 hours as I thought it would be. I'll be back tomorrow for 5-6 more hours just because I want $700+ this week!!

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Staying on for either 4.5 more hours, or until I earn $260 more (I'm still a long way off!). I'm on a break now but thus far it's pretty unfruitful
