    Skull The CamGirl bad habits thread

    I know newbies come here all the time asking for advice on how to attract more customers, how to make privates last longer, what cam to buy and all those things. But I don't remember seeing any thread that compiled what you should not do if you want to be successful at camming.

    I was thinking about making a list of bad habits I have (or used to have) that I know that can put my success (aka $$$) in jeopardy. I keep a board in the room I use to cam where I write my goals, collect pictures of stuff I want and I was going to glue this list there as well. The idea was to read it everyday so I could keep reminding me of what's keeping me from making more money. Then I thought, why not making a thread about it?

    I'm gonna start with a few things that come up to my mind right now, feel free to post some! If I have time, I'll edit the post every time new suggestions are posted:

    - Sign up to many sites and not work on any of them on a regular basis
    - Probably the most common problem of us all: SLACK! Keep telling myself I'm gonna log on in 1 hour, maybe 2 hours from now... Then I end up going online 5 or 6 hours later then expected.
    - Browsing other sites while I'm on cam.
    - Spending too much time putting make-up on, with such details that aren't even noticeable on cam.
    - Keep logging on and off every few minutes.
    - Sometimes I get lazy and I don't set up my cam properly before going online (I mean, contrast, brightness, saturation...)
    - Lose too much time browsing about new/potential sites to work on.
    - Get lazy about producing content and updating my profiles.
    - Ignore customers messages (not the crazy/creepy/annoying ones).


    Anyway, I'll post some mora as I remember (or if I catch myself doing something I shouldn't!).

    Not something I do but I see it all the time. Girls, get off your cell phone! it's obvious when you're texting and it makes guys lose interest.

    If you're in a bad mood either hide it and act happy or go offline for a bit. A sour looking face isnt a turn on for anyone...at least I dont think it is..lol

    Failing to adjust your volume so that if you type more than you speak, your key strokes don't come through as if you are stomping on them with lead feet.

    Being disorganized! OMG I am so bad that this, it takes alot more time to get ready to get on cam if you have no idea where the hell you put everything you use on cam. Ex. outfits, make up, toys, things that some of your regs may request, lube, etc.

    Not sticking to the schedule you made.

    Leaving early because it's slow. ( I almost missed a big spender doing that the other day. He made my goal)

    GUILTY of all of these above. Trying to get better, especially regarding worrying about perfect make up and postponing the log in.

    Not having your computer sound loud enough to hear when a customer leaves paid chat and not checking the paid chat panel often enough to realize that the paying customer(s) left paid chat. You don't want to be still performing when free chat re-starts.

    great thread! I know I do a lot of those things in the original post. The biggest one is not logging on! God, why am I so lazy sometimes? I want the money. I need money. I need to log the fuck on!

    I think the fact we can "easily" make 200 or 300 (my case, some girls make more) a day makes us lazy... it's so easy to think "oh, fuck it, tomorrow I'll make it up for it"...

    Just remembered another one:

    After having a good day, I tend to skip the next few days. I have to remember that making 300$ in one day and not working the next 2 is the same thing that making 100$ a day, not so great...

    I'll start editing the original post...

    I think this is a common problem of freelancers everywhere. When you can make your own hours sometimes you don't end up making them at all. Time management is the most important skill we can learn...even more important than deepthroating!

    LOL, I'm not at all guilty of this one. I see girls talking about wearing full makeup, even eyelashes and I'm like, "psh. I barely do eyeliner. They can't see that shit so why do it." I'm so lazy.

    I have a septum piercing and sometimes I have to adjust it. Ppl always think I'm picking my nose. I have to take the jewelry out and show them before they believe me.

    Being a bitch (you catch more flies with honey, right?)

    Dancing (I'm Elaine-Benes bad when on cam because it's like being alone, and I have actually had guys tip me to stop shaking to my music)

    Talking about myself too much

    Acting as bored as I feel

    Not hustling/expecting shows to just come to me

    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

    Can't believe that no-one mentioned the ultimate BAD MOVE for camgirls...

    Don't do shows that get guys off in Free Chat, it is BAD business for EVERYONE INCLUDING you.

    Make them pay, do group, go private, whatever, but never let any of the get off for FREE.

    Not communicating with the audience... I've seen some gorgeous models from head to toe that are nearly mute the entire time... which brings up my next point: have some personality! No one wants to spend money on a dull barbie doll... they want more than just tits and ass.
