    Default Will it pick back up again?

    So we all know camming's in a bit of a slump right now. Do you think it's just because of summer and it will pick back up again in the next month or two? Or is it because of the changes made to the Network sites...SM introducing Party Chat option....the influx of freeloaders.

    What do you think? Thoughts?

    Honestly it hasn't been too slow for me. Traffic on SM has been steady... at least it has every time I've logged on this week. I'm not a $100/hr earner, so maybe the "high rollers" would consider it slow but I'm perfectly happy with my hourly average. This morning I've been making $25 an hour consistently, which isn't superb but it could certainly be much, much worse.

    When I end up sitting in free chat for 20+ minutes without anyone coming in, then I'll start to worry!

    Yeah, I'm itching to finish my shift so I can run off to the lake this afternoon. Staying inside in my room with the curtains drawn all day is no fun. I can imagine cam customers feel the same way.

    its not that customers are not there and not willing to pay...
    its that there is too much competition lately....
    girl posting about how much they make doesnt help for sure...(I;ll stop doing that)

    ya I agree. :/ however, it's nice to motivate each other. I just wish this forum was fucking private! I don't want hundreds or thousands of guests who don't contribute shit to the forum reading our tips and how much we make and which sites are good, etc.

    When it's slow, you can try rethinking how you do things, maybe experiment with different approaches. If it's seasonal, it's seasonal - people have families, kids are home from school, people vacation, etc. But if it's about the changing nature of camming, increased competition, growing boredom with camming once the novelty loses its appeal, it might be a matter of adapting.

    I don't have answers, but I do think it never hurts to experiment a little.

    I thinks its seasonal. This happened last year too. Beginning of summer it slumps. Usually picks back up.

    I hadn't thought about the kids being home from school!! I figured it was seasonal - more people wanting to be outside instead of hunched over their computers - but yes, vacation time, kids home, etc. would make a HUGE difference.
    Oh, and I have seen an insane drop in my traffic / income. INSANE. A couple of you have already heard me whine about it elsewhere lol

    Today a guy on SM was telling me that nights are better since people are hornier. I remember seeing a thread on here where many of us commented that early morning until 11 AM ET is great. I haven't been getting on SM at nights, but I wanna start trying it tonight.

    I'm looking forward to trying out nights. I really should be getting on SM at nights prior to getting on MFC (I'm not on MFC everyday), but I've been getting a little too comfy on that couch, watching George Lopez and Everybody Loves Raymond...haha.

    I'm getting on SM tonight though after my son goes to bed.

    All porn site sales go down in the summer. Hence why they make changes to their systems in the summer time, including cam companies.

    I had a bad two weeks, but my numbers are back up and better than average that I make.

    Got to build up your regulars all year long.

    Good Luck,

    I've never cammed in the morning (before noon) ... is it really good? I will often come on at 1 or 2 for my customers that are across the road and it's like 6 or 7 in their time zone. Otherwise I try evenings. I should try mornings. Or later nights. I was on til 1 last night/this morning and that was pretty late for me.

    Oh another thing, people usually have vacations now. So people may be gone for a week, two weeks, three weeks with friends or family. That's quite a bit of time ... that they aren't spending with us :p.

    And aha yeah I don't have many people other than regulars. :p

    Of course this is the time when I actually *need* the camming money...

    I rarely make money on SM at night. I also think that alot of people on SM are in the tristate and east coast area. Almost everyone that comes into my room lives within a 50 mile radius of me. I'm going to sign up for adult work, I need another site that has traffic that I can work on during different times of the day.

    Nights used to be better for me but lately I've noticed that I make just as much money, if not more, in the morning and early afternoon (Pacific). Early evening is decent too. But I hate working nights most of the time so I don't even bother anymore.

    Whenever I need it to pick up again. I double my efforts on marketing, that always does the trick for me. I do NOT just depend on the cam companies to get me traffic.

    Constantly changing up time I cam so that can recruit new regulars.

    Smooches,
    Sam
