I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
So I keep spotting all these posts about girls mentioning what they were watching while on cam... and it might be so obvious that I completely missed the mark (tends to be the case a lot for me) but.. how do you watch netflix or whatever without customers noticing?
-
Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
I don't watch TV. Don't even own a TV. I just look pleasant and surf the Internet until I get a show.

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
Dual monitor setup :) I think most girls put netflix on silent with captions. I try not to get too distracted when I'm online though, because I look really bored if I'm watching netflix or browsing reddit! I try to look lively and smile into the camera until someone in my room starts talking.

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
Smile and wave. It always gets someone to say at least hello.

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
Subtitles on my tablet, right next to the monitor, or at least in front of it. I tried to get a bluetooth headset connected for sound but I could never get it to work!

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
Haha, thanks for the replies. I was afraid it was subtitles! So hard for me to enjoy my entertainments without sound. That bluetooth idea is awesome! New project!

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
I don't understand. So you log on & then zone out by surfing the web or watching tv shows & movies? If you worked at a company & did that you would be fired.
When I log onto cam, I'm there for one reason: TO MAKE $$$$ I do the ENTERTAINING! If you aren't giving your room the full attention it takes to convert into sales then you are missing out on Sales... it is a hustle. I give my job 100% when I log on, it is what my customers deserve.
If in the RARE case of it being dead for me, I log off & switch sites & tactics. If that doesn't work, I log off. I don't reward guys with my attention if they aren't spending money. Switch gears & either film videos or start editing videos.
Here is a great opportunity to make money from home 24/7 whenever you want, why not give it 100% to it?
Smooches

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
It's so nice that it's a rare occasion to have an empty room for lots of girls. My room is empty much of the time with tons of in-n-outs. Not sure if it's glitchy site or what, but I'm the first to admit I don't understand the hustle aspect of the job at all.
Right now I'm just working up my motivation to get beyond my anxiety/depression double-threat enough actually log in, then stay online for any decent length of time to begin building up my hours and increase my site ranking that way. So for someone in my position, having to choose between "staying the fuck on" or logging off defeated, some peripheral entertainment to keep your mood up isn't anything to snub.
We can't all be rock stars. At least I've been doing pretty decent pulling for the 'amateur/real girl' angle and hustle doesn't seem that necessary there. It'll probably get more important once my exposure (and hopefully traffic) levels up. I know your intention is very helpful Sam and I always appreciate your contributions. It's important to keep in mind you don't know everyone's situation and we all have a unique hand to play; what's important isn't being the best, but doing the best you personally can.

This is me yesterday! Just died down and had a lot of guys begging to see my ass or tits so I went for a walk with my dogs. Then I came back to take their money but after a couple hours it died again. I had one guy who I know will take me private but first must ask 1,000,000,000 questions about meeting me and when or how he can meet me or what we will do. All to which I give vague answers and remind him we can talk about it in private all he wants. Then the door bell rings! HA! Goodbye fucker! Should of taken me while you could. I love teaching them those little lessons.
However, I support anyone watching Netflix or browsing the net. Dont listen to Sam just keep doing what you do. You make enough money right so dont be afraid to zone out and Im happy to pick up the slack for you ;)

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
Hustling & making money is a mindset. Chilling out watching tv or surfing the web means looking bored. I've seen those girls & exactly why guys click in & then out of their cam rooms. Men log onto these sites to be tempted, to spend money.
Of course, you have to deal with the beggars & broke guys, but even then it is your JOB to get them to spend money too. I pester them to tip or go private as much as they pester me for Free. Much rather frustrate them & have a laugh instead of the other way around.
Yes, I'd rather ROCK Star it out. Rather make $100 to $300 in an Hour than to take several hours to make that kind of money. Time is money. If I'm not making it on cam then there are other things I can be doing on the back end to put money in my pocket. Of course, I had to put my time in to get there, just like everyone else. I have to do it every time I sign up to a different cam site.
I also greatly admire those top performers on most of the cam sites who got there too. There are many different hustles, what I do may not fit for you. Been there, making $20 per hour, slugging it out. Will take $100 per hour over $20 EVERYDAY! When I average $200 an hour even better. We all have different priorities.
What I can guarantee, looking bored on cam is a race to the bottom, not the top. This is entertainment, people don't pay to see boring movies, plays or concerts. :)
"Things may come to those who wait, but only what is leftover from the hustlers!" Abraham Lincoln.
My new favorite quote is "Glam, Glitz & Tits" from The Producers.
Smooches,

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
Maybe this is a question for the stay the fuck on thread, but for those who do those 12 hour shifts WTH are you doing? Like really are you standing up dancing around? Sprawled out on the bed? Are you watching TV? I also get a lot of in and outs in my room. Especially on SM. We all do. It doesn't mean you are boring or less entertaining than others. Somedays I can sit there with a sweet smile on my face and greet everyone that comes into my room. Poof they gone. I can stand up and tease. Poof they gone. Next day I sit back down and wear a tshirt and panties. Make a couple hundred dollars. If you can make money consistently doing the same routine. Awesome. But me I have to change it up. Everyone is different. I've seen girls who just lay there looking bored and uninterested.But yet they are placed at the top. Does this mean they're making a bunch of money. I dunno? Some days I make the most money when I ignore my room. I surf the web and look at things that will make me laugh and look friendly. Because my resting face makes me look unapproachable. I've been told that in my real life that I look intimidating when I don't smile. People assume I'm a bitch until they speak to me and find out I'm super silly. I flourish when I can have a banter with my customers. My wit is one of my selling points. If they are in and out then I can't do anything about that. I just keep trying. I understand why this question was asked because not everyone is the same and not everyone want's to make the same amount of money.

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
You ladies make it sound so easy! X) "Not everyone wants to make the same amount of money", "I'd take 100/hr over 20/hr anyday"... lol yeah, me too, I'm sure all of us would. We all want to make bank in this industry but it's not like all of us can just decide to. I agree a shit ton of it is mindset and I'm trying to get there but nobody can magically cure fatigue or snap their fingers and be rid of anxiety. There's a reason it's called an illness - it's not something you can control.
I appreciate how motivating some of these ladies are trying to be but it just comes across as jeering when you suggest those of us struggling to make it work are simply not as interested in making money as you are.

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
Girly this is exactly why sometimes I don't log into the forums before I need to go to work. Theres a lot of awesome advice here but sometimes it can be a mindfuck. Sometimes it's best to not even listen to what anyone else tells you. Feel free to omit this post from you mental bank. But what I mean is you go by your instincts and work on your tunnel vision. The peripheral is the side shit and banter that you don't need. Just focus on what you need to do to get to where you want to be. I think we all come here from a good place and try to help but I don't know you. I would suggest you check out the Just Stay The Fuck On Thread. To me those ladies are like mystifying warriors. I was on all day yesterday and made shit money. It wasn't until about 2am tired but stubborn as hell I got back on. And then I made a lot of money. Ideally known of us want to be on all day long. I usually am not but sometimes it just be like that. Try not to take what others say personally. Take what you can use and omit the rest. Including this post if you like. :D

IT's all about where you position that screen it could be a tablet, a smartphone, another TV, another computer, and if you have powerful enough machine you could be watching it on the same screen as what you are camming on.

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
I have ADHD and hate sitting there doing nothing. But it's really not good to just zone out and watch tv or something. You gotta get creative. For example, I got a Slinky and some Play-Doh lol. I got tipped the other night for sculpting a smiley face.

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
I would make nothing if I just sat around watching movies. Zilch. Nada. Zero. I envy you gals who can get away with just being pretty.
I'm exhausted in a good way after today. I worked my ass silly. My gold show sounded like a fucking auction house for my pussy and boobs. I sold my group gang bangs like I was in a competition for the sluttiest bitch on planet earth on MFC and CB. I fucking drained cocks and wallets like some kind of sperm dracula goddess. Yeah, I'm proud of myself. Patting myself on my spectacular ass. Poor guys didn't know what hit them.

You are fucking fabulous.
OP, I was inspired the other night. Frustrated and defeated by the evening ($20 in two hours), I logged out of chat to see WTF the other girls were doing to bring in the customers. Guys log in and log right back out of my room and believe me, it makes a girl wonder what the fuck is wrong with her! LOL! In real life, I am the life of the party. Magnetic, charming, and fun! Don't know what the fuck happens when I get on cam, but for some reason I freeze. I don't know what to say or what to do really.
Anyway, after clicking on several rooms of girls just like me, bored and frozen (prolly watching TV), I found the most adorable, bubbly girl on SM! She sang along to the music, danced, made jokes. Men were eating it up. I fell in LOVE with her too!
Maybe that's a good starting place for you. Play some upbeat music (softly) and entertain that way! Sing, shake your titties, and giggle a lot. Of course, it won't work if you're naturally serious, but its worth a shot, right?

THIS when I first started camming years I used to read all threads, and everyone said you have to hustle, do this do that, dont look bored blah blah. I didnt make much for a while trying all this stuff. Then I said fuck it. I relax now, I dont even show my face in free chat, I watch tv some days with the sound on. Some days I sit there doing nada like a mute, some days im bitchy and i let it be known and I make way better money than I ever did before trying to be entertaining and its pretty consistent. I have slow moments but everyone does, and no im not pulling in 10000 a month but I make enough to pay bills (I have alot of them too lol) and save money, Im also 95 percent of the time on the first page in the middle page on SM which is good enough for me. Now if you want to make big money like 3,000 and over im not sure my advice would help. But from and inroverted camgirl chilling out works for me.

Re: I have a silly question about passing time on cam..
To each their own...everyone has different personalities and doing something that doesn't fit yours will not make you money. I've experimented a lot with this. I make the most money when I'm "busy" doing other things and when they decide to talk to me I always stop what I'm doing to give them my full focus. I'm happy, cheery, and smile while I conversate with them. If they can't be bothered to say hi, then I can't be bothered to dance around and wear myself out for them. I ONLY do things if they are paying me. If I try to stand and tease to a quiet room I just get super frustrated and end up being pissy with them or logging off altogether. Sure, I get way more "talkers" if I'm teasing in free chat...but do they revert to sales?! Nope. So, if you need something to do to keep you "busy" and that's what works for you then do that! Just be sure you are giving them your attention when you should be...and try not to have resting bitch face lol ;) Always smile and look pleasant!!
