    Default My Great Epiphany (long as shit)

    This post is going to be very long, and part of me feels like I'm exposing something special to me by putting all of this out here, but I honestly feel inspired and I think I should share. Something has totally come over me in the past week or so (more specifically the past few days) and so many things just "clicked" in terms of having motivation, goals and a sense of direction in this business. A very important part of that ended in my creating a schedule that fits my personality and lifestyle. I feel really strongly that it will work out for me, and I'm posting this just in case it may help someone else out too. I'm aware that it's not perfect and I'm sure it'll change as I go along. So also if there's something important that I'm missing I'd really appreciate a heads up

    I pretty much overhauled everything this week related to camming. My content, my website, listings, my personal appearance, creative ideas, my perspective, my boundaries, my attitude, where I choose to work... everything! Honestly it became too overwhelming to deal with all at once. Right now I'm so burned out! So I decided that rather than become overwhelmed and focus on a little of everything all the time, I'd consider the basic foundation laid at this point and implement a plan to simplify my business. I've chosen to break each month up into 4 weeks and focus fully on one main aspect of it each week, month after month, without fail.

    The plan is to first use my google calendar at the end of each month to plan out my camming (face time) hours for the entire next month, and have that calendar automatically update to my website as well as e-mail my day's schedule to me at 5am each morning and notify me via sms message one hour before my set times to be on cam, so that I never falter. My target is 4-5 camming hours/day, 4-5 days/week. Absolutely no more than that unless I'm having, like, a suuuper great shift.

    In addition to putting in face-time on cam, I came up with 4 important pieces to camming and streamlining this business-- content, promotion, technical/design and creativity. My plan for success in each area breaks down into four weeks of intense focus, as follows:

    Week One-Content: This includes creating videos, photo sets, mp3's (a few each for sale and a few for promotional purposes), and gathering any physical goods as well (autographed posters, panties, socks, pantyhose etc.) Also any custom requests will be recorded, edited and delivered all in this week. Personally I watermark everything I create with my website name. Working 2-3 hours per day on content for 4-5 days (a total of 8-15hrs) should suffice. Next comes...

    Week Two-Technical and Design: This includes uploading the new stuff created and edited during content week to my personal site and anywhere else that it can be sold. It also includes re-reading every page of my website to check for grammar/spelling errors, maybe even updating personal info (if I changed my hair color or had a "birthday" (am I now a 22 year old blonde instead of a 21 year old brunette making sure all of my links are still correct/current (it's easy to forget to check these things and not know that maybe one of your hosted pictures is no longer showing up, or that you have dead/broken links somewhere), continuously looking for new ways to optimize my site for search engines and keywords and all that jazz, obtaining quality back-links for my site, writing 7-10 blogs and post-dating them to auto-update throughout the weeks I'm not focused on blogging (adding some of the promo pics and vids to my blogs to have a content-rich blog), etc... and also learning more about affiliate programs, researching new potential sites, etc... It is imperative that my website and listings/profiles on all of the places people will come to pay me are damn near perfect because next comes...

    Promotion Week: Now that I have tons of hot new photos and videos and panties and such to sell along with some sexy free photos and videos to lure guys into wanting to see more (from week 1), and now that I've posted all of these great new items for sale on my nicely maintained website and profiles everywhere I work (in week 2), it's time to let people know about all of these great things and where to buy them! In week 3 I'll join and post on as many different forums as I can, read and respond to other peoples' blogs, join and post my promo material on any and every social networking site I can think of, flirt with people who express interest in me on these sites, find sexy magazines' online amateur model sections, post to modelmayhem, etc... vyou, youtube, vimeo will all receive the promo videos etc... this is where I'll use the watermarked promotional content to whore myself out hardcore all over the fucking internet... anyplace I can think of... I'll create and constantly update a word document with each place I visit and my logins and passwords, and spend maybe 2 hours each day corresponding to people, adding friends, complimenting other peoples' videos/blogs, etc... and everything I do will be with the intention of linking back to my awesome website, which links back to those awesome profiles where they can spend, spend, spend! After this, I can chill out a little bit and relax from so much online social interaction. Because in a few days, the guys will suddenly notice that I'm no longer responding to their messages, and they will come looking for me at the web address they keep seeing everywhere, and my site and profiles will be sooooo tempting and neatly arranged that they will buy them while I sit back, collect their money, and enter...

    Creativity Week: This whole plan will be organized so that creativity week falls during my period. I'll kind of just relax and watch what items sell the best and worst, and come up with new ideas for starting the 4-step cycle all over again. By then my payments will have cleared and I will have a designated budget to invest in fresh new outfits and accessories for the next cycle, new panties and other physical items to sell, and any props/new toys/games/materials I might need to make my shows more interesting. I won't really *work* when I'm not on cam, but I'll just allow my creative juices to flow... I'll come up with new contests and games to try (MFC), I'll think of cool new ideas that might correspond with whatever holiday might be coming up next, and at the very end of that month I'll map out my calendar/schedule for the next 4 weeks.

    Wash, rinse, repeat, month after month, without fail.

    I believe that following this plan and combining it with regular, set hours to be on cam will mean that my archive of content to sell will eventually be fucking bananas. I'll have a never-ending supply of hot, new watermarked freebies to whore myself all over the internet and keep driving people to my website even if they'd been there before (there will ALWAYS be something new!). I'll have tons of people interested in me and I'll be driving my own traffic. My websites, listings, profiles and blogs will be virtually perfect (for my needs), content-rich, and will rank high on search engines. I'll always be fun and interesting and unique (I get bored watching myself use baby oil show after show so I know the guys are tired of it too lol). I won't ever have to work during my period. I can plan for vacations and special outings. I'll only be working between 6-8hrs/day 4-5 days/wk (from 24-40hrs including face time on cam), meaning I'll also have a great personal life, time to spend with my boyfriend, time to be *not* a camgirl, tons of money to save/invest/do fun things with, time to sleep enough, cook healthy food and work out to keep optimal health and physical beauty, which only translates into more $$$!

    Each step kind of reinforces the next, and I see it all as one huge system. The whole is the sum of each tiny part. This is exactly why whereas I hated MFC before and couldn't get past the thought of the freeloaders, I now see it as a huge part of this business model. All of the promotional work I'll be doing in week 3 IS free, but the point is to drive traffic to my payment processors. The way I now view MFC is that if I play my cards right, I can get a "Week 3's" worth of promotional work in one 30 minute public show damn near every time I hop on cam (theoretically)...

    I used to be the type to never get nude in public because I didn't see why if only 10 people tipped, 500 should be watching. But this business model suggests that the whole point is to make sure as many people watch me as possible, so as many people as possible go to my website and find something that they think is interesting... this business model rests on the principle that the more people know that I exist, the greater chance I have of some of them either millionaires, financial submissives, or really fucking addicted to the type of girl I am. It makes me want to treat everybody who isn't a complete fucktard/asshole like they could possibly hit the lotto or win a large settlement or inherit a small fortune tomorrow and they might come back and spend on me for being so creative and awesome and fun and nice to them... it makes me feel like doing anything and everything I possibly can to be completely fucking ready, armed with an arsenal of banging ass content when these guys have their cock in one hand and the credit card in the other.

    And I'm really, finally fucking excited to feel this way about this job. I've come a LONG way. Hope this inspires somebody Thanks for reading.

    Bravo!!! a business plan - good for you girl! I'm very impressed. Good luck! and if you ever need web/graphic design/development help, PM me - I take on lots of probono work and I have real references.

    Once bf starts his new job tomorrow I can FINALLY start camming and then come up with a business plan of my OWN. Ain't it great to work yourself? I can't wait.

    So if you want to be with me
    With these things there’s no telling
    We just have to wait and see
    But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
    Than waiting to win the lottery
    Besides maybe this time is different
    I mean I really think you like me

    This is awesome & inspiring! You've moved me to start thinking much more concretely about a business plan, too! You're killing it, lady

    Approaching it one week at a time is genius. Much less overwhelming than what I see most people doing. Good luck!

    I really cannot thank you enough for this and it was very considerate of you to share this with all of us! I was just sitting here adjusting my cam settings because i feel fat and ugly today and my cam seems to be making it worse. I know I have to work but i have no motivation and am over whelmed with other parts of my life crashing down. I actually found this post while searching for 'motivation' in the nifty little search bar and it helped tremendously. Thank you!!!

    This is just what I needed to read right now! I've been trying to kick myself into gear to do ANYTHING and this was extremely inspirational. Think I'll get on my google calendar, set up reminders to do EVERYTHING (sad as this sounds, I have to be reminded to get out of bed these days) and get into a routine!

    And Dixie, I may need your help with some design stuff, I'm SO not technologically gifted.
