    AW is rockin`
    Make some pics and vids, sell them wherever you can , adultwork, clips4sale, rude, kinkbomb, niteflirt.
    Work out, go to the movies or a concert so you have lots to talk about, experiment with a new hairdo and makeup. Money is there and it will come.

    omg the begging started again, it happened so bad at xmas week I said screw it I am logging off for 2 days I cant take the begging and it was ok afterwards. I use to hate coming on but I sat down what day and I said to myself I need my way to deal with them not sure if it is the new guys getting free mins and now learning the ropes into begging because I notice the difference in the guys more free beggars. so now 99 percent of the time i put sound off and I type and showing a smile most times. sometimes I play some music when they start begging for a whole hour I turn off the sound and turn on three's company or some classic like lucy ball and just laugh at the show and all this time they thinking I am smiling with them and typing which I am not. now I use short forms now and I know their tricks and it works so much for me, all the girls are giving it away for free well they better think again not me.


    if they ask me-
    -----------------
    show ass bb-I smile and type show gold bb xoxxo- they leave-time wasters
    what i do priv-i tell you in priv or see my sexy profile- I even have the answers copy and paste to a clip board.
    can I see body-sure see pics on my profile you love them xoxxo
    show nip-cum priv when ready. I still greet them by name and ask them where they come from then I start screening the ones with the tons of questions with short answers not forgetting they lovely free requests.


    I honestly have to keep my cool with them otherwise I will be blocking the whole bunch or kick them out I know how they work. before i use to kick them out and it was fustrating me with the begging. I dont kick them unless they rude even the beggars I just smile and the cam watch three company give a wink or even say hi with sound every hour.. they stuck in my room like bird watchers I say nicely -ok guys think about it and come back when you ready I am clearing out my room love ya.

    What's going on? The same thing that's happened with stripping and every other sex-related business since the economy has been in the shitter: waaaaayyyyy too many girls plus too many clubs/camsites/agencies. There aren't proportionally more customers to support the increase in service providers. The fact that men have less money to spend lately is another thing, but the factor with the biggest negative impact is the simple fact that there are just too many girls.

    Get competitive even if you aren't. I did, and my sales actually increased this week.

    I was in no actual competition , except to come top performer, which i executed. The motivation in wanting to become top SHOWED, thus increasing my sales.


    Now im not asking any of you to step on toes or just completely take over...lol

    I notice a small change of attitude in how you see things helps so much. (re: The secret ) <<LoL corny I know but it works...

    If you would have asked me a week ago if i noticed, I would say hell yeah!

    But the new year came around and I told myself If i dont do anything else, im going to get this money...and have exceeded my goal each day for 4 days straight now.

    (not bragging, just uplifting and motivating... change up and you will get your change up! =) ) Happy camming!

    I heartily agree! My earnings have been increasing. Just keep trying different things until you find out what works best for you. You'll hit on something that works.

    even if its lowering your rate. a few months Id laugh if you ask me to lower my rate....right in your face.

    but i gave it a try, and its worked better ...like WAYYYYYYYYYY better, and im talking dropping it by a measly 50cents.

    its the very little things that can make a big deal.

    Agreed on the attitude thing being helpful. We can't change the fact that there is ever-increasing competition and ever-decreasing clientele, but we CAN change our attitudes for the better, which always helps.

    The only thing I am against is rate-lowering. One does it, then another then another then another, and it snowballs until we all end up pricing ourselves down to nothing. LOL! Not that I really believe that extreme scenario will happen, but I'm sure you get the point. Be very stingy about lowering your rates.

    I've noticed at lower rates I get much more stupid customers, and at higher rates I get a much better quality of clientele, even if my lines ring less, I still make more money or at least the same with less work!

    I totally Agree with you.

    I just happen to make more money now... so I guess it works for me. I dont WANT to, but I do this for a living and on weeks like these, I cant be picky.

    Now what I hope is, that I never settle for 50 cents less than my going rate. I have seen it happen to PLENTY of girls... goin from $4 to $2 in a matter of months... It makes me scared of this industry.

    I agree , I do this full time as well , and the uncertainty of a paycheck makes me sick.

    And on good nights "tomarro can never be this good" is ALWAYS there.

    biz was crazy weird busy yesterday morning for me. I changed up my show and clothes a bit, and camera angles, sort of messed with the guys. Didn't chat as much, gave more visual chat, said hi, while leaning over, more allusive behavior, and slam. Busy. We need to keep it creative and changing.

    I am also worried about this industry. I was on a webmaster forum talking about affiliate sites for camming and seems that many are frustrated with streamate. A lot are promoting ifriends because of payout and frequent incentives/$$$. A number of people said streamate affiliate payout has dropped in the last few months and their support has become obsolete.

    If streamate doesn't support affiliates who direct traffic to us, they "could" lose market share, but I am NO expert on this (hope to be soon). I can't work for a buck a minute. Chit, McDonalds sounds more fun if it came down to that!~

    Monday and Tuesday I've made my goal, but this morning I've been on AW for over 2 hours (even updated my gallery with another new photo) and JUST now got my first group chat. Pretty strange. I've just been laying down in between paid shows, because my head was pounding earlier and half of my face was numb. I'm feeling a little better now after laying down, though my head still hurts a bit.

    Wednesday is kind of a busy day for me and my son, so I hope that traffic goes back to normal for me on AW soon while he's in school.

    This is true to a point, but I have found you really have to look at the particular site and price yourself on the higher end, but within reason. I remember when I started at Adultwork years back I had my prices at 4.99 and couldn't understand why I wasn't getting viewers.

    (I gave up for on that site for awhile but then I looked at what others were charging and adjusted, also didn't realize it was in pounds at first). For most hosts there really is a limit to how high you can go if you want steady money.

    I don't think I have ever been this slow. I will just attribute it to lack of money after the holidays.
    Taking a break from all unproductive shit will prove to be the best choice you can make.

    I'm totally noticing it too. I'm getting shows but its definately slower. A few guys trying to get a free twirl and a man this morning who said I am wearing my wifes dress please call me a dirty filthy whore. I told him I would love to in private. He went off to get credits and I never saw him again. Random shows but slow. I'm sure the holiday did empty peoples pockets.

    How has MFC been for everyone? I think I might have to resort to working there today and possibly for the next few days because I have a damned infection that won't go away, so I'm left with very little confidence and a sense that pounding away at my vag at this time would be a terrible idea.

    I'm really pissed off because I haven't worked in over two weeks due to the holidays... I'm SO motivated right now, not to mention behind on some bills, but I'm just in limbo waiting for this infection to go away. Grrr...

    Woah, I just realized that there are only 184 models on MFC right now. The site also happens to be extremely slow... it must be having some server issues.
