Thanks! I have a week before I need to leave for maid of honour duties, and then I'll have a week when I get home. Does anyone know if doing two 4h shifts with an hour in between is better than one 8 hour shift? Because I did the 6.5 h straight yesterday and only took two <2 minute breaks for the bathroom. Ended up having lunch on cam too. At the end there I was completely exhausted, and literally logged out because words didn't even make sense anymore.

I'd love to do F4F or SM, or even MFC, but I live in a studio flat, so I have nowhere to put my four cats. I'm tied to sites where it's ok for cats to walk past on cam. There's a kind of sliding "door" for the bed alcove and I tried camming there but apparently that was the worst idea I've ever had in all of history and I was told so by way of the Songs Of Their People. It was an impressive and loud arrangement too. I logged off after 30 minutes, I don't think anyone can get off to that soundtrack.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Okay, okay. I'm here. Got on really late, 2 pm instead of 8 am, due to a morning appointment. Still feel pretty much like garbage, but I'm here and I'm doing topless only today. Better than not logging in at all. Goal is at least 5h. Would do more but I'm still trying to reset my sleep hours so I can start getting up at 4.30 am. Someone pray for me.

Tomorrow is a new day ! Don't give up you got this !
I'm struggling this week. My arms, wrists and neck, hands and back all hurt, I am close enough on target but not making up for what I wanted last month so far. I am zooming the cam a lot on different viewpoints trying to seem interesting and hide the fact I am so sore. Ignoring people and closing my eyes more on purpose just because the energy is not there. Lets get these coins ladies!

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
I managed 5 hours! So that's a huge win. Downside is that I made $0. Not a single tip. Oh, well. New day tomorrow, I have one more day on the New label on Stripchat, then I'm out on my own, lol.
ETA: It's so nice that you're all encouraging me, I really really appreciate it. I know we all have slow periods, but IDK that I've ever had 9 consecutive days of fuck all before. It's really easy to get discouraged now. It'll get better.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
^^^You mentioned that you cammed before the pandemic, how was it for you then? And were you on the same sites?
-
Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
And as far as the cats, you have no way to use furniture or room dividers or folding screens to temporarily section off a corner of the room from them every day while you cam? Or sit at a desk positioned in like a corner where you’re facing out, so the corner is behind you on cam, so that if they walk around on the floor behind you they won’t be seen in the camera?

I'd done it for about six months, and it was slow going then too, but i can understand why. I was camming on my Chromebook and without a microphone or external camera. I still managed to make at least $50 a shift though. I was on Chaturbate and MFC. I tried Streamate too, that worked really well! In retrospect, I think I was mostly playing around with it, since I was doing part-time and night shifts at my vanilla job. So I basically lived on EST hours anyway.
I could potentially build something for the cats. I have a bet door for the bedroom, but they rip the net with their teeth (they're cute, but dumb as rocks, I swear), and the big one will jomp onto it, make it shake and the fall off. All 12 lbs of I'm. It's like throwing a kettle bell around. I do have a cam corner in the "dinins area" (who needs a dining table anyway) with my desktop set up. I wonder if MFC/SM/F4F would mind the sound of cat yowling or occasional cat fights. The oldest will scream at the youngsters of they look at her wrong. 😂🙄
I know this all probably sounds like I'm making up excuses and should probably look for a vanilla job, but I swear I'm not putting sticks in my own wheel for the fun of it.
Off I go to look for screen doors or room dividers!

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
^^ Room dividers are a great idea, are going to help a little!! I did use room dividers too and there are tons of nice ones! Yeah, it sucks to live in a cramped space with many pets, but you can work your way around. I also suggest filming clips and upload them on cb and stripchat, they sell pretty well!
Also, do you have a vibe toy? That also helps a lot.
Speaking of shifts, I did 10 hours shifts in one go, but I started with breaks. It's not easy to do it, especially since it's dead. I was usually do 6 hours, 1 hour break and then 4 hours. With small bathroom breaks.
You can totally do 4 hours + 1 hour break + another 3-4 hours. No one is crazy to do it in one go, with no breaks haha. Unless you're super busy and don't feel the time passing. So go ahead and split your shift and take breaks!

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Do you guys think two 5 hour shifts a day both at there own regular times would be beneficial? It has taken me forever to narrow down the hours were 1. I can make the most and 2. works around kids, dinner, cleaning, dog...bla bla. This week I have officially figured it out after trial and error that two 5 hour shifts at their set times of day would be perfect for me and I actually feel excited to start my OFFICIAL camming schedule!! I will be starting tonight! It feels so good to finally not be wrapped up in when I should cam and just do it! Compared to STFO do you think splitting the day can be just as good assuming I'm there for my shifts the full amount of hours each time?

This is what I plan on doing. Two 5 hour shifts. I used to do this all the time and worked out then.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Yes, as time as you have a fixed schedule (or at least try to login within that time frame), 2 split shifts are working great!! So, go ahead and plan as you can, @coolbeans!!

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Just jumping in to say HI, HEY and HELLO here from Spain! ;D
I freaking love this thread. Been going all the way back to the end of last year just to read Cutie101′s posts and they are SO inspiring!
I just made this new Stripperweb profile, so I′m kinda new on here but not really. I′ve been here before because I used to cam back when I was younger but been away for the last 4-5 years because I told myself camming was a closed chapter and "not for me anymore". I was wrong. I miss it and now I′ve made the decision to come back and JUST do cam. Like full time. For however long I want to do it. Haha I′m a bit nervous to be honest but also super excited and since I′m not new to camming I know it′ll be fine. I know what it takes. And now this is what pays the bills and puts food on the table so it HAS to work, right?! ;D
My total goal for this month is just $2500 which will pay the bills for both June and July. I′m going to bed now but I′ll keep you guys updated in here to not only keep myself accountable but also to hopefully motivate and inspire others, just like I′ve been inspired by yours (and especially Cutie101′s) posts in here. LETS GO.
$253,09/2500

Awwww, thanks! I appreciate you found inspiration into my posts, altough I also been inspired by others here. Yeah, I was also close to leave camming, but I realized it was because I was doing things I wasn't comfortable with. Camming has became much more enjoyable when I stopped fearing that I lose money if I don't do this and that and rather perfect what I enjoy and find my own unique approach. Now I am not mentally tired anymore and I truly enjoy this job, for the first time ever, so yeah... I literally have days when I feel like I just started new, lmao.
In camming the sky is the limit and being ourselves and do what we actually are comfortable with, really pays off because... it shows when you enjoy what you do.
Good luck and welcome back!

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
I was just talking with a friend the other day about this.. She’s never been camming herself but was curious and wanted to chat about it. And I told her that it’s so important to be the one controlling your own room, instead of letting it control you. Back when I first started I thought I had to do everything they wanted me to do lol and yes, I can relate to fearing to lose out on money too if I didn’t do certain things. So important we just stay true to ourselves and only do what we are comfortable with. And thank you! So excited to be back!
The goal is to stream at least 30 hours this week (I’ve only done 9 so far) and a minimum of 40 next week.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
@Cutie101 @KAROLINA_ When I started it was the same I was so stressed because I thought I had to do all the things to be successful....I am the most vanilla cam model out there I think (I'm sure there is more :). So sometimes I do let it get to me still that I could be making more but I'm okay with it because at least I'm comfortable and confident while I'm working and probably that shows....maybe if I did do other things I would get a bad reputation because I would suck at it and hate it lol

I am non nude, among with others in here and we do well. 5 figures a month are totally doable as a non nude, or earnings of $5k+. Most of my camming career has been nude/ explicit type of model and I was miserable. I couldn't do it right because I was feeling insecure and it was showing and the money were bad. I transitioned to non nude in 2019 and things got better and ever since I kept changing my hustle until I found what was finally comfortable to me, I kept trying different things and styles until I found my own way. And I still look into new ways to improve.
So, yes... you will do more in the future because in this industry you always learn something new, always find ways to reinvent yourself, change hustles, have different boundaries (yes it's ok to be comfortable with that now and in the future to not be anymore. And it's also ok to swear you'll never do something and then you actually realize you wanna try and you suddenly like it).

Do you have a post on here somewhere about your transition? Getting really curious now and would love to read about it. I’ve thought about doing a transition like that too but feel like being a nude/explicit model just is so ingrained in me. I’m gonna look, maybe I’ll find some of your posts about it (if they’re on here)..

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
FIRST CHECK IN POST:
Just jumped on cam 1,5 hour ago. Its almost 7 in the evening here in Spain.
Had a private almost right when I logged on: A foot fetish guy that just wanted to see my feet super quick.
The private only lasted 32 seconds haha but I do love the foot fetish guys tho!
Had another private 50 mins in. It lasted almost 7 mins.
And another one again 10 mins ago where the guy just wanted me to sit and watch him "do his thing".
$24.81 so far.
Now theres not happening anything in my room other than a couple of people bumping in and out of my room now and then. I have the new model status but doesnt really feel like its doing anything for me. Doesnt matter though, Im consistent and will be putting in the hours regardless because camming is what pays the bills now :)
By the way, my main site is Streamate and my rates are 7.99 per minute for private and 9.99 for exclusive. I did sign up on Chaturbate as well, but before my 4-5 year "break" from camming, I used to only be on a private based site like SM, so Chaturbate feels like another world to me lol and havent really been streaming a lot on there since I came back to the cam industry 14 days ago. It is intimidating me a bit but maybe Ill learn how to work it and maybe Ill just find out that Im more of a "private"-based-site-kinda-girl. We will see. :D Kinda intriqued to figure out how to splitcam on multiple sites too. Never tried that before.
Im also signed up with Boleynmodels for the Instant Pay. Not that I really need it, but I do like it. It motivates me even more.
Putting in at least 6 hours today. Maybe even 7. Gotta do at least 30 hours this week, right and 40 next week. As a minimum. LETS DO THIS!
-
Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Im in for 10 again today. Going to try and add some stretch breaks from now on
-
Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Okay, I had booked a day of meetings and chores in order to cam as much as possible on all other days, so didn't STFO, but I did GTFO. Did 3h, made $2.50 off of a shitty joke, but I'll take it!

So, this is my literal first post once I took the transition step: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...=1#post3115358 but go trough the rest of the pages because I did update trough the years, here and there. Also there are some really good insights from other models too (especially cutiecam, she has really gooooood advice).
