    Thumbs down I'm doing somthing very wrong and I dont know what.

    Last week I made $150 in 3 days working about 2-3 hours a night and that was my first GOOD week in awhile :/
    I mainly get on naked.com but have accounts on MFC and SM which as of now I hardly use because I never get more than 5 people in my SM room and never more than 10 people in my MFC room so I make no money what so ever.
    I talk to people.
    I play music.
    I get up and dance from time to time.
    When I dont get up to dance I at least get up and pose around, etc...
    I act super flirty and let them know if they want a peek/ something sexual to tip/ go prvt

    Idk what I do wrong...I really dont know...If I didnt need this job so much I would stop all together and come to the conclusion that I'm just not made for camming...

    Ive never made more than $178 a week

    If anyone has ANY advice please Pm me or something (and if youre not comfortable sharing what you know just dont tell me, dont get offended that I'm asking for help).3

    honestly lately $50 for 2-3 hours work is pretty average/good for me (on streamate). i think you really should try to put in some hours on sites other than naked - it takes time to build up steady income on streamate, get good placement, and get more people in your room. it's totally normal for me to have only 5-10 people in my room at a time (sometimes less than that) and i'm on the front page on both streamate and cams. but like - it takes me 4-5 hours minimum to earn $100 on streamate or cams these days (my average is like $18-$25/hr - thanksgiving boosted it a bit). so i'm probably earning the same hourly as you, just working more hours on different sites. and i've been camming semi-regularly for over a year. not everyone is making hella cash...it's just the rest of us have to put in more hours to make our goals. my hourly average and placement went down when i moved because my internet is slower where i live now - that might have something to do with your situation too.

    mfc doesn't work for me at all (although now that i have a prizewheel and can do shower shows i might give it another shot). naked sucked for me when i was there - i'm glad it's sorta working out for you. but streamate is a lot like naked, just has much more traffic - so i'd recommend putting in some more hours there regularly for at least a week or two before you totally write it off.

    And on Streamate, watch for the times your niche has the least traffic from your country and try that. Like I am a BBW and I have found it more beneficial for me to be on when not as many other girls are on from the US, maybe that sounds insane...but it's working for me a little. It's the only site I have tried so far, just fourth week in, but seems to be determined on hours worked. Money is there, some of us just have to pull harder to get it.

    First of all... Yeah, you're really not putting in enough hours to be freaking out. I'm not trying to tell you how to feel. But it doesn't seem like you're at the end of your rope really, and it seems like you have a lot more you could be doing before you even start thinking you're totally doing everything wrong.

    If you're only putting in 2-3 hrs/day, that's the first thing right there. That's 21-22 hrs a day you're NOT camming. No one stays on cam all the time, but you gotta mix it up. I can't even count how many times we say "try working different times."

    Secondly, $16.67 to $25 an hour really isn't that bad. It kind of seems like maybe you thought you were gonna sign on a few hours a week and pay all your bills? For most of us, it just doesn't work like that, especially not when you're new. The first couple months I was on, I barely made $50 a day. I got a new webcam, a new mic, a new computer, better internet, more lingerie... and some confidence. Eventually I started making more and more. It still fluctuates and there are some days where it's hardly worth my time to be online. But... overall, it gets better and I get better, then it gets better.

    And unless I'm doing Party Chat or a Gold Show countdown, I don't have more than a few guys in my room at once. My weekly goal is high. But it's a full-time job for me. If I don't make money, my bills don't get paid. I don't make goal a couple weeks in a row, that motivates my ass.

    If you're really honestly asking us what you're doing wrong and what you could do differently (you mentioned how you act in your room), pick a lady on here you trust, give her your cam name, and ask her to watch you in your free room. Studios do that for their girls, some cam sites do that for their girls. If that makes you uncomfortable, don't do it. Just a suggestion that maybe someone could give you more specific advice that way. If you work for a studio/site that offers that service, take advantage of it. Sometimes you do something that you don't even realize you're doing and once you stop doing it, you make more money (or maybe there's something you're not doing that you could be doing). I had my hubby watch one of my shows and he mentioned a small thing that I was doing. I stopped doing it and I made $100 more the next day.

    Another thing to point out: Being consistent with anything in this biz can really help. That is how you gain regulars.

    Try to find at least one hour out of everyday that you can consistently be on at that time, all the time.

    You can do it, chica

    I was totally dragging ass my first few months on here. Then hubby quit his job and it was like WHOAAAAA I GOTTA WORK NOW. And so I did. And guess what... I made more money. And then I got some confidence and started thinking that it would work out. The more confidence I had that I could support myself camming, the better I did. The guys know when you're feeling desperate. They can smell it on ya. And then the begging and bargaining starts. Most don't try that with me b/c even tho I'm polite I have a "I don't really need your money" attitude. I'm not ungrateful, but I'm not desperate either.

    Well, it works for me anyway.
    We're here for ya, girly. Keep at it. Try ONE new thing every day. Treat it like an experiment. Remember those boring-ass experiments from high school? Change one variable at a time and LITERALLY make notes on what you're doing.

    Maybe it sounds stupid, but I've been at this over a year, I make 10x what I made when I started, and I still take notes on what I do, what works, what doesn't.

    I think it's time for you to dedicate your time to a new site. Personally, I believe there is a site for everybody...you just have to take the time to figure out which one works best for you. It's all about trial and error. Good luck.

    My first site was SM an I was making $100-$200wk but it would take me 8hrs per day an 3-5 days a week. Over the years my wardrobe style has stayed the same but I've upgraded my cam, lighting, internet connection, an computer. I didn't really notice a difference until I started paying attentions to my busy hours. Once I started working my busy hours and stayed consistent with it I notice a huge difference. I only get like 5 ppl in my room as well but now it takes me 4hrs to make $100 an 8hrs to make $200. It took me trial an error to figure out how to make more money but sticking with it paid off.

    One thing I have noticed, CONSISTENCY IS KEY. I know it's hard, especially when all these sites make it initially seem like you log on, look cute, and the money rolls in (NOT). I have been consistently logging in and my income has slowly been rising. Also, definitely, try out multiple sites. You might find that some work better than others for you. Happy Camming!!

    Honestly, I'm going to echo what most of the girls have said so far...

    You aren't doing that bad! I just don't think that you are working enough, hon. Only 3 days a week, and only 2-3 hours a day is really not a whole lot of time, and this is affecting your income in a couple ways. First off, its just not enough time to make a lot of money! You'll find that for a lot of us, the first hour or so that we are on isn't that lucrative, because we are "warming up". If I am working 6 hours at a time, I will make the most money between hour 2 and hour 5 - before that I am warming up, and after that I am getting tired. And if I am working a short shift (after the day job, usually) when I only do a couple hours, I will pump myself up like nobodies business so that I need less "warming up" time. I still don't tend to do as well (in terms of $ per hour) in 2 hours as I would in 4 hours.

    The other thing is that if you are not on very often, of COURSE you don't have a lot of traffic, regulars, or good placement. It takes time to build up to that, and the longer you are on, the better you will do. If you are only on for 6 hours in a week, and only 2 hours of that is on SM, you can't build up a regular. These guys are on a LOT, and want to see you a LOT - or at least know that there is a good chance of you being on when they are. 2 hours a week is a really small window of opportunity.

    I would focus on one site, work more hours, and work consistent hours. $20 an hour is a decent wage, so don't get too disappointed with that - really! I have to agree with CamModelJess - it kinda sounds like you had unrealistic expectations.

    I don't mean to offend you or sound mean or anything like that, but honestly, the chances of being able to just hop on a couple hours a night, a couple days in a week and make a killing are really, really small. The top earners put in a LOT of work and effort, and a LOT of time - this is a full time job for them! Starting off making a consistent $20 an hour is really good, and usually you will find that if you put the time and effort in, that will start to rise. Consistency and time is the key....

    And if you would like me to watch you and comment, I would be glad to.

    When you work part-time then you make part-time money. It is very simple equation.
    Naked has where you can record videos with your cam, do a few of those everyday too.

    Everyone has posted some great advice.

    Watch some of the top girls on these cam sites. See how they emote, how they control their rooms, not letting the freeloaders control it instead.

    Read books like the "The Secret","the success principle". Positive attracks positive.

    Emote, emote sexiness, keep it in your mind these men cant resist me, they all want to spend money on my fine ass. Look directly in the camera when you do this. You will be surprised how much it works while staying fully dressed.

    Want full-time money, then put in the 8 hours a day to get it. The same principles work in all kinds of business, work part-time then you earn a part-time check. Work full time, work on being your best then it pays off in the long run.

    People who get ahead work harder & better than their competition. There really is no mystery to it.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    Sam tells it like it is!

    That's one thing I need to work on is looking into the cam. I tend to look at my own cam window to check how this and that position works, do I look sexy, am I making a funny face etc. Eye contact is key in every business...it shows confidence. I think once I gain more confidence in my performance my shows will get a lot better because I won't be looking at the screen so much.

    But yeah, I would suggest putting in more time....When I worked on SM for 4-5 hours, I would walk away with about 150 daily. and Im still sort of pretty new so I haven't done much promo as I should....if I am on for about 2 hrs....then I'll make about 50....My only advice, is to maybe concentrate on a site for more than 2-3 hours hope that helps!

    Also - splitcamming changed my earnings dramatically. Sometimes I cam off of two computers to preserve CPU with two webcams and it has a similar impact.

    IDK if you work one site, but I wish I told myself to not silo myself on 1-2 sites for so long. Splitcamming increases your likelihood of earning more. You also wontf eel like youre wasting your time.

    Not sure how that'd work on 2-3 sites that have huge swells of traffic with mandatory freechat (like MFC and Cam4 simultaneously or something), but trying other sites to tack on may be useful.

    [but dont go overboard with this, there are a few sites where I feel like Ill forever have JUST under the minimum payout due to impulse "ooo Ill...Ill QUADRUPLE splitcam on this no-name site!" signups. seriously. One I should be tarred and feathered for even bothering]

    i'm struggling with splitcamming - i like splitcamming cams and streamate, but my placement has been improving on streamate (which in turn has been improving my income there) and when i splitcam, my placement goes down there. i feel stuck. either i split cams & streamate and have shitty placement on streamate or i just work streamate with the same amount of money. either way it works out to about the same hourly. (it's impossible for me to get faster internet than i have and my computer can handle splitcamming - it's most likely my only 1mb/s upload.)

    ^Have you ever tried programs that kill applications running on your computer? That can speed up your comp and increase your CPU. I surprisingly got away with splitcamming on my shitty netbook when I was travelling recently (yes I said NETbook). I did a few other things to get it going but it cranked it out. Ill PM you

    Also OP, Ill be a creeper and say if youre as nice on cam as you are here and that is a picture of your boobies - youll be fine with more time.
