    Thumbs down SOOOO Fustrated **Rant Alert**

    I have a customer service job that I do part time from home in addition to camming. Dealing with random people's BS about being pissed about being charged for stuff THEY signed up for in the first place is tedious on its best days. Today I reached a new level of pisstivity and I literally had to take 15 min to collect myself before I could continue.

    I really feel like this job isn't worth it for what I get paid and I'm thinking about just doing camming full time. I always think if I stuck with camming for the 5 hrs a day I do this other job I'd probably make wayyy more.

    Here's my dilemma. I haven't been doing so well in the camming area. My room is usually empty when I do get on or full of cheapies who come in say hi and leave. I know that comes with the territory and it takes time to build up a client base but I'm afraid if I give up the CS job to cam full time that I will be stuck with nothing. I don't make a lot with the CS job but it's better than nothing...

    I have no clue what to do. I've also been looking for jobs in my field (getting my masters degree in psychology in december) but there's nothing out there. I don't want to cam forever...just to make ends meet if I can. I feel like I'm stuck between a rock, a hard place, and a bunch of asshole customers lol. Most of the time when I'm on cam I get fustrated and log off to make clips for my C4S store instead. Sorry I just had to vent a little bit.

    Well ... it is a job If you get frustrated and walk out of work they don't pay you either. This is definitely a job. Sometimes you want to puke and turn off the screen but that's the work part of it. You could try another adult biz job like cocktail waitressing or something too
    Yes, I'm real.

    You're right. I def need the money which is why I have stuck with the CS job so far lol. I wish I could take a full week off from the CS job and just do camming to see if I'd do better. That would give me the motivation to do it full time. Maybe I just need to kick myself in the butt to make myself get on cam at night consistantly. Thanks ladies

    Quit your day job, you are worth more than the shit you have to put up with in those types of jobs!!! If you hate it enough and want better for yourself you will put in the effort it takes to make it as a cam model. Maybe take a month to organize yourself for success with lots of promo and advertising, making a bunch of vids and time their release, take a ton of teaser photos, think about adding phone sex, pulling in a bunch of diff income streams in adult business. Then after you take those few weeks getting ready you can quit your job with confidence. It is possible if you work for it.

    I was very upset when the company I worked for went under.
    Now looking back my only regret is that I waited so long to get into camming full time.

    Try several sites and find some that will work for you, perhaps run several at once. Treat it like a business and it will pay you back.

    I'm actually splitcamming right now on SM and AW. AW is always kind of slow for me. I do like that I have free chat turned off so if someone pops on there they are already paying me...and if they leave after 2 seconds it's no biggie because I didn't waste time talking to them lol. Going to stay on as long as I can tonight. Have already had 2 private shows already. One short and a medium sized one lol.

    I tried MFC for a little while too but I think I will just let them go for now. I don't make much on there because of my cam score.

    I have learned that my computer hates the encoder. Whenever I use it my computer shuts completely down eventually. Has happened 3 times in the past 2 days.

    Hay Caramel have you tried using the encoder by itself, without splitcamming? It could just be that the encoder and splitcam are taking up way too many resources on your computer together. I know it seems like a good idea to work 2 sites at once, but if your computer can't handle it and your cam is constantly freezing or your computer happens to shut off in the middle of a private, you may lose that customer or customers in the future.

    Give it a shot with the encoder on just SM for a few hours and see how your computer reacts, if it still crashes it's probably something else.

    Stay positive and try to make some money camming! You don't need to take that stuff from the CS Job

    I'll give the encoder one more try tomorrow by itself and see what happens.

    Oh yeah! When I was using it earlier today and I checked my placement on SM, I noticed that it didn't show that I was streaming in HD even though I was? I had higher placement than other girls though and was in between other girls with the encoder. It was a little weird lol
