Congratulations on the new place!
I fell asleep woke up to a few small sales on sext panther, it's taking my every nerve to get up and Hustle again. It's 3AM here, hopefully the morning shift will do me some good. It's Friday so we should have a great day due to clients getting paid.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
4 hours today. 1 hour down.
ETA logging off at 2 hrs and 20 min, coming back at night to do the remaining 4 hours. First hour was busy, last hour and 20 min were not, it was completely dead when I logged off.
Doing below average but not terrible. It's crazy because I have done almost 7 hours this week and I'm only at $498. My paid % is 48%.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Hi ladies, just wondering what your pvt and exc rates are? I’m getting so sick and tired of 2 minute exclusives I’m not sure if this is the norm or if it could be because I have my pvt and exc rate both set at $9.84. I have no problem getting exclusives but the short time in there is a pain. Also I’m interested to hear how long you have streamed With SM and how many favorite adds you have x

I did come back, ended up doing a total of 4.5 hours and nighttime was non-stop busy. Wish I could have stayed on longer, ended up with $525 for the day. 3-4 hour goal today.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Did not manage to place this week, but feel like I got really close! I did gain a couple more regs this week who will come back to do more shows, so it's been worth it, but I just wasn't up to doing the hours that I needed to place. It would have been one thing if I was consistently getting shows, but I find it exhausting to make small talk for hours on end with people only for them to end up tipping 3 gold and no one doing a show. I know that's just how it is sometimes, but my energy for giving something for nothing is limited!
That said, this was sooo much better than other contest weeks have been for me. I think the last contest week I ended with less than $200 for a regular week of work, and this time I'm more on par with what I usually earn even though I did more hours. I am grateful for what I did get, and next week will be back to normal (fingers crossed)!

I didn't make my monthly goal for May so I have to hustle as many hours as I can this week. Unfortunately I am already in pain.

Me too honey bunny I know being sexy and hustling dancing around is going to get more tips and things but doing so many hours and so exhausting I dont have it in me either. I think this is why sleep shows getting so popular on SM they are just doing to get hours and catch a whale..oh well if you can t beat em join em

Are you on any pic/sexting sites? I find that they make up greatly when the screen and back problems are too much. Clients are really unto interactive chat and sending pics, vids, and gifs adds up vs sitting waiting for shows.

I'm not. I use the stripchat messenger a bit. I tried to sign up for some years ago and never heard back, guess I didnt have enough followers :shrug: I use my fan sites a lot like that, but when there is no fans subbed it's not as active as I'd like

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
I've never worked a full 40 hours on SM before. I've definitely put in 40+ hours a week into camming, but just not on SM. I'm hoping I can STFO this week.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
2 hours Friday, 9 hours Saturday, 8 hours Sunday. Really need to push harder. I'll be on again on Wednesday.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Been waking up at 6AM to make $315, now $350+ and it's been working. Pulling from all of my eggs of course.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Okay, this is probably more of a vent: I took a break during the pandemic (did some vanilla work, guess twice what my education is in...), and now I'm back camming. Splitstreaming with Chaturbate as my main site, Stripchat as my other one. Figured my new account on SC would gain some traction, but nope. 600 anons on Friday, 400 on Saturday, 10 on Sunda and 1 today. My CB room is absolutely dead.
My goal, absolute minimum to not go broke, is $2000 this month and so far I've spent 16 hours over 4 days in order to make $21. I'm doing 3h shifts, and usually 2 of them before I loose light despite my cam light. I'm dancing, I'm looking at the camera and talking, and fuck. all. Currently I haven't had a single message in an hour. I know slow happens, I know it's summer, but come *on*. I'm fucking old, this is taking up all my energy.
@self: GTFO and STFO. 9h/minimum.

Do you mind sharing what sites you use? I'm seeing a major decrease in business lately and I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm on SP, SM, CMD, Phrendly and Skype and I'm barely making shit anymore.

3 hours a day won't bring anything, honestly, unless you're extraordinary lucky. You gotta do at least 6-8, login at fixed hours and be patient, at least 5 days a week. Yes, camming means your room will be dead for months, but the $2000 a month is completely doable right from the first month, if you have a fixed schedule.
Treat this cam like a job and you will get your $$$. There are money to be made, but you have to understand that there are tons of models nowadays and the moment you press exit, you lose potential customers. The longer you stay online, the more you grow you chances to be seen. Fixed hours will help you be found by members who maybe can't spend today, but next week will come at same hours and look for you.
You're new and it takes time to rank. $2000 is super duper doable, I promise. You just need a fixed schedule and a minimum of 6 or 8 hours.
And yes, some days you won't even make $100. It's normal. Don't panic, don't stress, look at the monthly earnings not at weeks or days. They can fluctuate harder than the craziest rollercoaser.
Login at your regular hour, do what you can while online, log out and don't stress. Rinse and repeat and draw the line at the end of the month. I promise you'll make the money.
My room is dead most of the time and I still manage to make $5-$8k a month. Because I have a fixed schedule. If you look at my posts in this thread back from october- november, I posted every single day. I'd go for 6-7 hours with only $13 and then boom, 2 good clients and ending the day at $350 or even more. Still happens today. You make your own money in this industry and guess what. There are tons to be made and they are there, waiting for those who STFO hehe! You never gonna be starving with camming, the only sacrifice is to put the hours in and be patient.
Also, there are girls in this thread who can make $300+ in just 4 hours. I am not them and it doesn't work for me. I dealt with the idea and I went my own way. Maybe some day I will be popular enough to do my goals in under 5 hours, but till then, I do STFO like a 9 to 5. So you should do the same. Do what works for you, don't look at others and don't look at first pages. They are different monsters. On Stripchat I barely have 1-2 people and I made $200 yesterday, because I caught 2 good clients. So... more viewers and followers don't equal more money.
Focus on any potential customer, there are many good spending members, looking for models with less audience, because the top rooms makes them look invisible. You can give them the opportunity to feel special and seen, because those will save your day eventually.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
I agree Cutie101, all good points. I stream very consistently and for "long hours" (4-7 hours at a time, sometimes 8 hours depending on the night) I treat it like a job because it is my only job, at the moment. I "clock in" even when I dont feel like it and stay on no matter how slow it is until it's time to "clock out" give or take a half hour. I typically stream 25-27 hours per week. My room never looks crowded, slow in fact, but I am not looking to be top model status anyway. It doesn't take a crowded room to be successful, as most guys are freeloaders anyway. Just takes a few good spenders. I do not even use a tip vibe and still do well. I just want to be comfortable and pay my bills plus a lil extra. I consistently meet my minimum 2000.00 per week goal (often exceeding it) by camming this way. I am super grateful for this opportunity even though I know we get super burned out and frustrated at times. I'd rather do this than go back to my vanilla career any day! Jstfo. ( btw, not bragging here, just letting you know it can be done, and I am old af!- you got this, ladies)

I think it's just the "new" thing, tbh. People haven't gotten used to seeing me, and on top of that I can't cam on the best hours EST, because I'm CET. I'm trying to get to the point where I can get up at 4 am to start camming, but it's slow going since I'm far from a morning person. Being on from 5 am to 7 am is my goal for July, because I start a full time office job I have to leave for at 7. It's only 2h, but it's mostly so I won't be forgotten and so that I can log more hours when that temp job ends and term begins.
Goal for June is 9h/day. I'm up at 7 now, which is 1 am EST, and usually on cam from 8 or 9 am to 2 pm, then take a break and get on and do 3 or 4 pm to 8 pm. So in total I'm doing 6-7 hours in every day now, but split into two shifts. For example, yesterday I did 3.5 hours, logged out to eat lunch, then did another 3.5 hours. Made $0.50, but that's $0.50 that I didn't have before that shift. I'm about to go online again, trying for 2x4 hours. It's just hard when I get hungry, lol. My cam space is a corner where one "wall" is a giant noisy sliding door that's actually into my kitchen, so I can't go off cam, fetch food, and come back. Plus Stripchat only allows you to walk off cam for max 2 minutes anyway, so I try do that only when I need the bathroom. I keep snacks at hand, but I do need lunch.
Ugh. I'm sorry for being a negative nancy. Just gotta keep grinding! Especially because I have fucking stupid 6 day holiday coming up that was booked way last year, and that I can't reschedule since I'm the maid of honor. Going to do Twitter promo af while I'm away, maybe film a few clips.
So now I GTFO and STFO. I've got 5 hours before I know I absolutely *have* to do lunch.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Ah fuckit, I couldn't. 6.5h, made $3. Tried for one nine hour shift, and I just can't do it. Maybe tomorrow.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
4-6 hour goal today.
ETA did 4, made an underwhelming $341 which is surprising because it was pretty busy for a while, but my first 30 min were pretty dead and my last 30 were as well so it's like I only made money for a 3 hour shift. Could be worse, especially since I was debating giving up after the first dead 30 min.
Same goal for tomorrow.

Are you super tied to using token sites? Because I feel like you would make a lot more during the new period on streamate.
