I made more money this week on SM than I EVER have, even though traffic has been terrible. I've still been consistantly making triple digits an hour. There's still money to be made, for sure. You should think about pushing privates more. Some days just aren't good days for gold shows. One big exclusive can make my shitty day completely turn around, earnings wise. I always see you at the top when you're on, GingerStripper. Keep your head up! Bad weeks happen to everyone.

you are not alone girlfriend.. that's why I split cam.. I made 300 something also.. Only one day I made over 100 on sm... uggh.. and I used to be able to make at least enough to pay the bills and I used the other sites for extras.. I am adding one new kinda site weekly now.. since not doing so great on SM these days.. since I had a shoulder injury.













^^ holy cow! that's a long time.. maybe you shouldn't stay logged in so long.. you are killing yourself which leads to less good shows less customers less money.. trust me that I know this.




Never had bad weeks until I returned in August. Average weeks maybe, but never bad. Something has definitely changed for the worse and it ain't me LOL. I never have triple digit hours because my rates aren't high enough, but I made enough to keep me content.... but now it has become peanuts.




That was shorter hours than usual LOL. I often do 20 - 24 hour weekends. I've even done 15 hours shifts (I have a huge family to support). I don't visibly fade (I mean if I fade the customers don't know about it) - been doing these kinda hours for 8 years. But fading has nothing to do with it. It was very quiet from the very first hours when I was still fresh. Nothing I do is different than I was doing before - the only reason for the drop is that the site is starting to go bad. Sites do go bad. It has happened many times over my camming career. Back 8 years ago I could make a very good income on just one site. The only way I can survive now is split camming to many.




That was shorter hours than usual LOL... because I was getting bored. I find doing few privates is more tiring than doing many. I often do 20 - 24 hour weekends.

But fading has nothing to do with it. It was very quiet from the very first hours when I was still fresh. My later hours were better than my earlier hours. Nothing I do is different from what I was doing before - I believe the only reason for the drop is that the site is starting to go bad. Sites do go bad.

EDIT: I don't mean to be alarmist and I really hope I'm wrong.

I'm in agreement on this one. A lot of people in the US get paid either at the start of each month, or bi monthly on the 1st and 15th. My old job was every other Thursday, some were every other Friday, etc. The two week cycle make sense if we assume a lot of people are on bi-monthly pay...




I have a sister who just turned 17. She doesn't know I'm a camgirl and I don't want her to be one. No one in the family knows I do this. My other sister married a poor man and can barely look after herself, so right now it's just me...
... so I do get a bit stressed out when a site goes bad on me. I hope it is just a hiccup. I can't access the site to see how I'm positioned.
I agree with SarahTime.
Like her, I don't think that you should leave Streamate but I do think you should look around at other sites to help with your sanity when SM is being stupidly slow and I completely agree with her MFC recommendation.
I make jack-shit on MFC myself but I always end up going back to the site because I find taking a break from the 'per-minute-hustle' for the 'token hustle' is like a mini-vacation in a way since it is such a change of pace.![]()



I don't know if this matters, but this was my third Aug camming. Each year Aug was the calm before the storm. Last Aug I thought it was the end of the world and my cam career was over. But it got better and a lot better at that. Maybe it is teh transition of school starting and that added expense? Idk, there seems to be no Rhyme or reason in the cam world.
um wtf where is the traffic usually sat is wonderful i do great even early in the evening i should have gone out i think ppl have to pay rent out of this weeks check its the first of the month still so maybe that is why





The site is still very good for many girls, just all of them stopped posting about it because they always get told things like they are bragging, lying, exaggerating, or put on a different server that has traffic, when its just not true. So what you are seeing posted is a very one-sided (and negative) version of what its really like. Just remember that is only one side to the reality of the site.
I do think what you are seeing is that a.) there are more girls than ever, and b.) if you don't have regulars, it means the money pie is cut into a lot smaller pieces for every girl who does not have regulars. But this will happen to any and every site. I mean look at MFC. Do you think the girls in the first 5 rows would continue to stay on there if their regulars disappeared? Nope. Their cam scores would be like 2,000, if even that.



I have to agree with this. I never post when I do well on SM because it'll be between posts that are of girls complaining how they haven't made anything. I posted once when I got a $160 tip in the bragging thread and that was it. I like and respect a lot of the girls here and I don't want to come off as cocky or offend them.
However, I love SM and for me it has been better than ever.
People have been saying SM is going downhill ever since I started camming 2 years ago. Actually, after reading CC thoroughly, they have been saying that for quite a while now. lol
