^^I agree that them knowing you won't wait for them does make you more hard-to-get and your time more valuable to them.

That's the right way to approach it! I hate waiting on these guys. He literally asked me for a show at like 1PM, he said he just needed "a bit of time" to get ready. 5PM and he's STILL busy with work and not ready, seriously? Of course I just cammed on SM that whole time while waiting for him, but it's like... why don't you ask me when you're ready for a show NOW?! This guy is a reg and he's nice and all but takes soooooo long to prepare, he fiddles and waffles so much, it's so damn annoying and almost not worth the effort lol.
I got sick of waiting and logged off. And my really good reg never showed up either! I could have made $200 extra bucks today, damn lol. Oh well.
Only doing 3-4 hours today. I'm really dragging my ass but I should be more motivated because my bday is coming up and all $$ I make today will be used to treat myself! Probably all on food and cocktails lol. There's a cocktail bar near me that makes INSANELY good cocktails, I'm addicted, I need more. They ain't cheap tho.
10 hours today. Did my workout before work, so I should be fine. I'll crash in the bed in no time when I'm done, lol.
Dead, I made a bit of fun money so that is nice, but very slow morning overall. I'm OUT
yday was an okay shift today seems dead! nahhhh on 4 websites OMG!!!
I tried, I really really tried but the last 3 hours were nothing! I'm so dead tired. I was 50 away from goal but happy with what I did make. I'm going for high goal again tonight so I need some sleep.
Hey ladies, I'm back! Spent some time away, not working and doing other things, taking a much needed break to look after myself. My hospital appointment went great and I was told it was a false alarm, they didn't have to take things further so very very happy about that. I've come back so darn motivated and was thinking of you girls during my time away. Now I've taken some time on my mental and physical health and finally have my room back, my focus is on building up my hours and reaching my financial goals.
So what I am trying to be consistent with is every time I work doing at least 4 hours, aim for 6 and try for 8. On busier days minimum of 2. For the week minimum 20 hours, aim for 25, try for 28 or above. It would be nice to make at least a grand a week, great to be at 1400 or above a week and I feel like with sticking to the hours it's very doable. I'm excited for it.
I'm sorry for the ladies suffering through the slow patches, hopefully things are starting to pick up. I got the initial wave of okness because my regulars had missed me so we'll see how it all goes going forward.
Waogtrain, was catching up and saw a post about a potential house?! How exciting I really hope it's gone through. Fingerscrossed. The point about internet. I can only have wifi but when we called in someone when we were having problems, they said that actually a big part of the issue was the wire outside the house was the wrong one and slowing things down. Someone came to fix that and the wifi has been way better. So might be worth giving your provider a call about that. Shrugs.
In terms of splitting up the hours, I've been using this rule to motivate me. If I've been on about 2 hours but averageing at least 20 dollars an hour, stay for another hour, averageing 30 or above an hour in 3 hours stay another hour and so on. And if the average is 43 or above then keep staying on, dips below that then go lol.
Hope everyone is doing ok today and having a great day! Done 4 hours already today, aiming for 6 and to hit high goal :)
Thanks for thinking of me! Good luck returning to cam! Those are some relatable goals.
The situation with the house didn't pan out. It was a serious offer but the timeline was going to be too stressful to have everything figured out and I hate relying on a romantic partner's generosity when it comes to housing. He was going to have a legal $0 lease prepared for me and everything but it was going to be too difficult to figure out zoning, building codes, and supply chain issues in such a tight timeline. The good news is that I put some feelers out about my rent increase in June and a family friend said I could rent their house out for the cost of their mortgage and property taxes for at least a few years. They were going to sell it but the sale fell through and its been sitting empty for months. The rent is half of what I'm paying now and $825 cheaper than what I'd be paying here if I stayed and paid the rent increase. Its still going to be a pretty big move so I've been taking this period week to pack books and decorative things, collect boxes, etc. Leaving this place the third week of May so I still have plenty of time to pack but I'm just trying to get ahead during my monthly break from cam.
Counting my lucky stars because I'm having a blessed period week for only streaming 37 minutes. I'll be back to camming more hours in a couple days.

Well I sucked and didn't even hit 7 hours this week, next week I AM DOING 20.
Stayed on today and yesterday and have 480 to show for it. Currently ranked 190 in the contest and wish I had time to cam tomorrow before it was over but I don’t. I’ve never been ranked that high so I’m pretty pleased even though it’s not going to last.
It's shark week and I'm soooo not in the mood for any bullshit today. Once I make $100, I'm done for the day! I can't really afford to do this, but I need to conserve my energy for the rest of the week, when I will be period free. I'll make it up later.
forgot about contest and well it feel it and that is why i landed here. ahaha tbh 100/d it is what i am making since few weeks somedays more however i was at 300 before 0 0
so i do not like that so i am on more websites just to make what i was used to. SM lately is slowing down for me. i am making my efforts. i can blame myself also but ohhh i think that it is on SM end also. xx hopefully itis going to be back as before.
3 hours today. About to get ready.
Thank you ladies for all your sweet responses! Good to be back and Waogtrain, sorry to hear about the house but it sounds like you made the right decision for yourself for now.
I hear you Genoveve in terms of the hours. I only hit 17.5 hours last week but hey, better than nothing. I hope people had a good bank holiday weekend. I like a muppet of course had maybe too good of one. Was meant to work all day yesterday. That didn't happen. And have hopped on very late today, tomorrow I can't work and next week is shark week, so not the best. However I will be kind to myself. At the end of the day, my room still needs to be unpacked and I've had other things to deal with. I will get back into that routine I so want. Taking it day by day :).
6 hours reached today in one go! Phew! High goal reached I'm done for today :).
omg I am pulling my hair how slow sm is..have to work more sites to make..
God help me. I streamed for my whole 8 hour shift yesterday. I gladly shut off my studio lights once that 8 hour mark hit. My eyes hurt from the computer screen and the 3 point lighting...all day!
last night i couldn't even hit 2 hrs. so dull zzzzzz and so over that offline glitch. streamate's tech team is full of a buncha jokers. today's STFO goal is make it past the 2 hr mark
i really loved their email "reintroducing room topics", never bothering to explain why it was taken away for like 6 months. haha cute guys cute

Wow, Streamate is just sooo dead. I'm going to try to put in 30+ hours this week. I've never had to work full time hours but this year has not been kind to me. Not much activity in my room and it doesn't get better when I'm in lingerie, so I'm gonna go back to wearing tshirts. I did very well and I was comfortable my entire shift. Might go back to black hair too, idk. My rates aren't gonna go down though, fuck that! lol
Oops I had changed it to 2 hours but it was too busy to update. I did my 2, wanted to do 2 today but it's so dead idk.
ETA did 1 hour and 52 minutes and it was rough. Very shitty day, made I think $126 and I had some of the most annoying customers. I blocked so many cheapasses out of pvts and exclu and was turning down a lot of guys because of cheapass vibes. It felt like a Sunday. Tomorrow I do 4 hours and I really want to get on cam earlier.
Lol yeah like no reasoning at all on the room topics, no? Ok then lol. Also don't you just love it when another contest week is announced on your shark week..... Yeah I'm not a competitor next week. Will allow myself a smaller hours goal to account for that. 6 hours on Tuesday was decent. Today it's been like pulling teeth but don't care will just stick to my goals. And ravenskyy, yeah I'm always fully clothed with layers that I can take my time removing in the show haha.
