    Default How many different streams of income do you have?

    I right now embarrassingly have only 2 coming from the site i cam on and video sales. I feel like i'm not being an efficient cam girl and should have at least 3 different streams of income coming in. Anyone care to share what else they're doing and whats out there?

    I have a ton, more than ten but honestly I'm spreading myself too thin right now. I am in the process of calculating where to concentrate my efforts and put the things that bring the least cash on the back burner.

    live camming (streamate, imlive, adultwork, cams.com) and some non-adult work.
    over the next few months i plan to add clip sales (clipvia, clips4sale, skinvideo) and diversify non-adult work. also hoping to join southern charms.

    Ha! I only have one, SM. I need to make NF work for me somehow, and C4S. Ugh....
    Is ImLive worth doing? I feel like I might as well just sit on SM instead of signing up for more cam sites, but I know I need to sell content and do phone. Lazy.....

    Most my income comes from my own traffic and sales but I use niteflirt for most of my live time billing, with some also through alertpay, amazon gift certificates, random tributes from various places. I sell content on 4 sites plus use amazon affiliates. I keep a spreadsheet to track every penny from every source and it's kinda complicated lol. There are over 10 sources but some are only used occasionally. I use 6 frequently.

    But really, I only have 4 actual different streams: live time (cam or phone), content sales, random tributes and gifts, amazon affiliate commissions.

    I have MFc and SM. I want to give up MGF for AW, and give up Clipvia for C4S. I'm also looking to sell photo sets. I do Indy cam with Virtual X Girls. I also have XCams, IMLive, and Adult Fetish Cams on the back burner.

    This is where I am. There are few things that are guarantees, but there are definitely some things floating out there for profit that have a once-in-awhile "what ad is this charge for?" or "what is this small check from? fuck Im still doing that?" attached. Then there are the fun ideas that have some $ "ehhh maybe, maybe not, but probably not" attached. I'm spending too much time on the last one lately and have to do a similar accounting and re-prioritizing.

    OP - adult webmaster forums are a godsend (cozyfrog, ynot, etc), it is ridic the ways that people earn online without even taking pic of themselves. A lot of it is a waiting game and figuring out how to advertise, but its a neat way to try to think outside of the box while webcamming.

    Part of my burnout prevention plan to not make all of my income just about me and my own voice, image, content so I'm in a bunch of different pockets. It is tough, sleep is elusive, and I'm not there yet, but if you're all set (like emotionally) with your 2 streams: no need to complicate it? Hey remaining consistent is hard for most in this industry and imo that's a virtue, so if you've got it - you're good.

    I work 3 different cam sites, although I'm on a bit of a hiatus from one. I sell vids on MFC, but intend to start doing some fetish stuff for c4s. I just hate making vids, but I love the extra $$ they bring in! I wanna get into this affiliate thing, and do some indy camming. Unfortunately there just aren't enough hours in the day though!

    I have more than 10 different things I do in both adult and non-adult combined....Glad to see I am not alone when it comes to just having so many damn things to focus on.....but I want to be careful as I can spread my self to thin but some of my gigs are once in awhile type of things and others are more frequent hustles so I try to keep it like that to not get swamped with too many appointments deadlines etc....

    Like as for as adult goes the only thing I probably do not do is "porn" or mainstream porn , I guess I mean.

    Then there is affiliate and similar type of things, vanilla work, and I do have an outside the home job but it is very flexible and I just do it enough to keep my license up to date which is like a few times a year so eh... Yep that is pretty much that.

    But I need to organize it so I am not looking like a chicken with its head cut off...

    thanks ladies, lotta good ideas. I've always been tempted to try pushing the affiliate work more, but i always just half ass it and end up not caring because the returns are coming slow. I think I want to look into that more, i want more off screen income. I love camming but I feel like i'm burning out quicker than usual these days.
    I hate making videos too haha but i have a big archive which i add more to here and there which makes em easy to sell.
    I wanna try night flirt but heard it's going down. Honestly i dont want to start another work project unless it at least brings in a small but substantial amount. I remember at one point i had a buncha checks and deposits coming in, some even as small as like 12 dollars haha. That gets a little crazy but i love the feeling of getting paid like 3-4 times in one pay week.
    thanks, definitely going to check out more adult webmasters forum.

    Breakdown:
    -Online Sessions (Non-cam/phone based) = 65%

    -Phone = 10%

    -Random Gifts = 10%

    -Assignments/Tasks = 5%

    -Tangibles (ebanned/direct sales) = 5%

    -Clips (clipvia) = 5%

    ~~~~~

    Explanation:
    -My primary money maker is a weird fetish that I happen to be skilled in. This is where about 60% of my money comes from.

    -I'm not actually doing "phone" at this time despite it being listed as revenue--1 call for 1 hr, isn't enough time to say, "I do phone." I intend to fix this soon, but I'm still not getting enough traffic/regulars for me to add this to my permanent 'hustle' at this time with my other life obligations.

    -I use NF to sell assignments--and I wish they'd give me a damned Flirt Store already as I have enough feedback!

    -I'm on clipvia because I don't have enough clips to be on C4S yet. (I just never find the time to shoot any, and I'm going to have to fix that.)

    -My intention is to add webcam to this by doing AW soon. I'm still finishing my tower build at this time though, so I haven't had a chance to start camming because of that.

    ...Basically, I make decent money compared to what I was making, but until I get my $hit together more, I won't be able to ramp up my earnings further.

    My income is 100% SM. I have tried doing several sites and sharing my time between them but I have found that I do better when I can build regulars and have a good presence on one site.

    I have never tried doing split cam stuff, sounds too complicated to juggle more than one site at once. I'm always so busy on SM I don't know how it would ever work.

    Sometimes it makes me nervous to have all my eggs in one basket, but I am approved for camming on 3 other sites so I guess I could go else where if I had to. I would like to do some of these other things like phone, IM, MGF, etc but with school full time, 3 kids, camming, husband, etc etc etc I don't know where I would fit it in! Would be nice tho.
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    WOW! I am so impressed with how much you ladies are doing!!

    As it is, I get most of my camming income from SM, with a (currently dormant) MFC account that I am planning to get back into next week. I also include amazon wishlist stuff here.

    I also work as a body piercing about 25 hours a week - pays the basic bills.

    I also am an apprentice tattoo artist, working about another 20-25 hours a week on that, but that one doesn't actually pay...YET!!

    I also do a little bit of modelling/film/extra/promo work...but I have been cutting this out as much as possible lately because I was feeling that my plate was too full....(now I feel silly saying that, seeing how much some of you guys do!!)

    I would love to be able to be a full time cam girl, and work only in the adult industry - if this was my only job, I would definitely be doing a helluva lot more with it! As it is, it is something that I do part time, while I tattoo....one day I will be an accomplished artist and have more time to devote to my camming as well....
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    That's what I just left from doing. I went from doing 95% mainstream modeling, acting, and promotional work, to almost full adult work in the course of a few months.

    It's my intention to start working with some production companies/studios doing non-nude/hardcore fetish work soon since I've noticed that there are people hiring even in this climate.

    I still get offers for mainstream work on a daily/weekly basis, but the money I make doing this, easily trumps that so I pass the info on to friends still in the industry. I'll still take an easy gig, but those are few and far between in this economy.

    I gave up on Etsy and I'm currently trying to "sale out" all my stuff after being on that site for 5 years and only making $600. The time/promo effort it takes to make $$$ just isn't worth it. I make more doing less with the adult work.

    Cam on AW and clips on C4S is where I get my income. Random tributes via Amazon gift card happens now and then.

    Im in the process of converting all my videos to wmv to make it easier to add to AW and Ive started a second website focusing on a niche fetish.

    Can someone talk more about these adult webmaster forums and also places to promote myself apart from own site and twitter that is!

    It's not 'my' fetish, but it's remote access computer control. I have a background in computer repair and construction, so I'm a good fit for the niche.

    I have 5 right now and 6 when I actually cam. I used to have more then I took a long vacation because I got burned out from spreading myself too thin. I had atleast 15 places I had to mess with on a weekly basis and I just couldn't do it. I am happy where I am right now... I can efficiently update everything easily within the week and still have time to cam and/or do whatever else.
