    Thumbs up Being a webcam girl rocks.

    I complain about webcam a lot. Pushing myself to get on cam sometimes is pure torture. I can think up any excuse... this past week in particular was awful. One night I didn't work because I really really wanted to play The Sims. Another night I didn't work because I was on a "cooking spree" and felt like baking shit instead. (if you're wondering, yeah, I'd be cooking and playing videogames on MFC if I didnt share my tiny house with my fiance & kid, lol).

    Sometimes I log on and make very little, whether on SM or MFC... I get frustrated, give up and quit for the day, $100+ short of my daily quota. Then I whimper and whine about how webcam sucks and I don't have any money.

    BUT then I realize that 1) I am extremely lazy, and 2) I don't know how freaking lucky I am!

    My last job I worked for $8.50/hr, full time. That's $340 a week BEFORE taxes. Getting overtime felt like striking a goldmine since my rate jumped up to a whole $12!! What did I do at that job? I changed old people's diapers. Gave bedbaths... to both living and DEAD bodies. I worked my fucking ass off. I was puked on, bled on, spit on, even slapped in the face once. All for $340 per week.

    Now I can make that same amount in two days, working no more than 6 hours each day. More successful models can make that $340 in one day flat. I probably could too, if I put in more hours. Some models can make that in ONE hour. Some models get tipped $10K for doing absolutely nothing... just sitting in their bedroom joking around and having fun on cam (see: Nikita420 on MFC just a few days ago).

    Before I worked at the nursing home, I worked as a waitress in a fairly busy restaurant. I pulled in $200 days every now and then, but those only came from DOUBLE shifts, meaning I came in at 9AM and clocked out at 10PM or 11PM. On my feet ALL DAY LONG.

    Now I can reasonably expect to make around $200 in six hours. Some days I make less, some days I make a lot more. But whatever happens, it beats the hell out of waiting tables for 12+ hours.

    I am making this post because sometimes I forget how incredibly lucky I am to have found webcam. Sometimes it's easy to forget that WE HAVE ACCESS TO AN ALMOST UNLIMITED SOURCE OF MONEY. We are only limited by our work ethic. It doesn't even matter what you look like, really, as there are always guys out there who will want you, whether you're black, white, small tits, big tits, skinny, BBW, young, old, pregnant, etc.

    Not making any money on X site? Try another one. There are plenty to choose from. Not making money on ANY OF THEM? After trying for a full 6-8 hours (not just 15 minutes before you give up)? Then make some videos, take some pictures, work on your blog, set up a Twitter, sign up for new webcam sites, etc. etc. There is tons of stuff you can do.

    I never imagined in my life that I would be able to work from home, work MY OWN schedule, as many or as little hours as I want... log in at 6AM, or midnight, or 2 in the afternoon, and regularly make $20-$50 per hour for what REALLY ISN'T HARD WORK. Sometimes I make bank on MFC just hanging out in my bedroom, dancing around and getting drunk. NOT working hard, at least not compared to any "normal" job that pays similar wages.

    Other times I have to log on to Streamate and work a bit harder, and maybe I only make $15 in an hour, and things are shitty and I'm in a bad mood. Well, I really shouldn't complain, because I'm still making more than TWICE the amount I made at my old nursing home job, and only working a fraction as hard. I'm warm, comfortable, hanging out in my own space, browsing the net, and listening to my favorite music, with no boss yelling at me. If I need to make X amount of money by a certain date, all I have to do is put in the hours and work hard. I don't have to beg my boss for an extra shift or overtime hours. I just have to log on and do the work until I meet my goal, however big or small it is.

    SOOO... the point of this post is to get you all to just sit back and look at your job with a new perspective. Appreciate what you have because it certainly beats the hell out of the MAJORITY of jobs out there in the world today. I know I could be making a lawyer's salary if I really worked hard enough. The only thing holding me back is myself and my own laziness and lack of productivity.

    I wrote this post as much for myself as for the rest of you ladies... I hope maybe this motivated you a bit more. I am personally going to work my ass off this next week and be HAPPY about it rather than grumbling and bitching and moaning. I have wasted far too much time just half-assing everything.

    Thanks girl hopefully more will see the value in being a webcam model.

    Right now I am getting assisstance since I quit escorting, escorting was draining me hard I was working so hard for little pay just to clear 3k a month from escorting when I needed to make that $150 a day doing webcam which is about $18.75 an hour

    that same $18.75 an hour is what I use to get get paid working in a call centre office graveyard shift. dealing with idiots and some fucker who couldn't keep his mouth shut cause he saw me on a porn site.

    I am starting school in the new year and moving to a new place in the summer it hasn't been easy when I was escorting I didn't have the mental power back then to go back to camming as much as I am ready to now, but I am not even remotely interested in sending out my resume for some minimum wage job cause I do not have high school diploma right now.

    Everyone should google what minium wage is in their city and work towards that goal on webcam minium 25 hours a week. if you can't make minimum wage doing webcam then maybe its not the job for you.

    Smurfette thanks for your post! I hope people read it and do realize that this is a great opportunity. I don't know any other job where I can work 24 hours in a day, if I wanted to. I don't want to work 24 hours, but if I had an emergency, and needed money, I would. Once I did work like 17 hours I think. It drained me, but so many people struggle just to get over time at their job to make extra money. We got all day and all night to get overtime, and then some. I feel really lucky and blessed to be able to do this, and pay my bills.

    I love all these posts girlies. I was thinking the same things many of you have said just the other day. I have my bad days where I make crap ass money and I have hella good days were I'm like wow did little ol me really make that much. I cherish webcaming with whatever amount I make because the perks you get with webcamming you can't find anywhere else.

    But in the same breathe I've been a fulltime camgirl for a couple of years and I feel like its time for a change. So I'm looking to go back to school and possibly find other employment. The one thing I do know is that with whatever I do webcamming will always be a full-time/part-time job/side hustle for me. Not everyone has a secure job and I'm grateful/thankful to know that webcamming will always be there for me with whatever I choose to do with myself.

    Thank you so much for this great post. I have not been getting on cam except Fri night and I was such a bitch to all the guys, made $2 in an hour and went out and got drunk with my friends instead.

    I have been soooo super lazy and making all kinds of excuses but this post has really given me a kick in the ass. I love being my own boss, but that means I need to put in the work too!

    I'm a SAHM and i do camming during the "naptime" hours. I love it.
    I normally would have to wait until a holiday or if my SO is generous enough to give me money. I would then hold onto it like its my lifeline cause i don't get money often.....Not anymore! I make my own money and spend it how i please. Its a wonderful feeling knowing i don't have to leave my apartment (especially now that winter is coming) or leave my daughter with someone i don't know.
    Plus who doesn't love being adored and told how wonderful they are for a few hours and get paid for it??? Sure don't find that in retail!

    Hot momma! I didn't even know you were a mom.

    Yes, no longer having to worry about daycare is a BIG deal for me. Too many bad experiences with daycare providers (and home daycare providers taking days off and still charging parents for it), plus it's one less thing that I have to pay for. And another nice thing is that if you have an errand or an appointment or something that you need to take care of, as long as you have a child who's in school, you are free to do what you need to do, and continue camming whenever you get back home. I know when it's close to Christmas time, I'll be doing my Christmas shopping during the day when my son is at school.
