    Default On average, how many hours...

    Hi! Sorry I'm a newb and Im doing a little research to find out if camming is going to work out for me.

    I was wondering how many hours a day/week you are online.
    In your opinion if you can only devote, say 10 hours a week to camming is it worthwhile?

    Thanks so much!

    If your completly new to camming 2 hours a day would be very slow.

    For the girls who have been doing this for years and already have clients built up 2 hours a day may be worth logging in for.


    But I think as a new person it would be very hard to start building up a client base at only 2hours a day. or 10 hours in one day..no matter how you break it down that's not alot of time.


    But I don't think anyone could say if it's worth it. Some of us girls often log in and make 200 bucks in 2 hours and say fuck it and log off for the rest of the day....it happens

    It also doesn't happen alot.

    All I do know is it your not online to make the money the money doesn't come
    and sometimes even if you are online all day the money doesn't come

    a lot would depend on how much money that you need to make. 10 hours isn't a lot but you might build up some good regulars with time. I'd say its worth a try.

    I usually only work on average 3 hours a day and make good money but I have put in 4 hours a day the past 2 days.

    for me 10 hours a week would be $150-$250/week depending on how i broke it up and how good the week was and how long i'd been working. to some people that's worthwhile - better than minimum wage, anyway.

    someone else said this best on another thread (and i can't remember who) - if you want to make full time camming money, you have to put in full time camming hours.

    but if you're working only two hours at a time, it's more than likely that you'll make $15 the first hour and nothing the second. you have to stay on for 4-5 hours at a time to really start seeing things even out. and you have to be on consistently to build up a customer base.

    right now i'm on 20-30 hours/week. trying to up that to 40.

    It all depends what you consider to be worthwhile. For me personally, anything is better than zero -- but then again I am freaking broke!

    There isn't really a way to tell you whether 10 hours is going to be worthwhile, honestly. I can sometimes make $400 an hour, or leave with only $50 after working for 2 hours. It all depends on so many different factors, and it takes a while to even figure out those! I'd like to say it's worth it, because I know for me it can be, but it really depends on if you're willing to take time to figure out each site and get some regulars.

    It can be, but I would advise to really stick to the same two hours each day. You can still build up regs and make money, but consistency is going to be a major factor if youre only doing 10 hours/wk.

    I think more important than how many hours, is consistency - I managed to build a good portfolio of regulars at SM when I had less time to cam and only did 2 hours a day - but I did them always at the same time slot, and if a regular asked me to stay online for him or wanted to book a show a lil off schedule, I'd accommodate - this lets them know you're reliable and worth building a relationship with.

    just get online as much as you can. don't worry about what it averages out to be hourly, it all ends up to be the same amount in the end anyways. when i was worrying about what it would pan out to be hourly, i noticed that it only discouraged me from making more money. just get online and make as much as you can and you will build up a good reg base along the way. 10 hours a week just won't cut it, especially if you truly want to make this work. think of camming like climbing a mountain, it takes a lot of endurance and persistence to make to it the top but once you reach it, the view is so beautiful and refreshing. i am still climbing my mountain and i will reach it. so will you, if you have it in you to do so, it just comes down to how much you want it and how you go about getting there.

    Thanks for that lovely metaphor! That is exactly how I have been feeling for a week now and I couldn't describe it any better!

    In my opinion yes it has been worthwhile. I don't think I've ever been able to cam more than 15 hours a week.
    Obviously - the more the better
    But 10 hours is more than 0.
    I'd also suggest going on for longer periods
    Example, three times a week at 3-4 hours each
    Instead of less than 2 hrs a day

    I can pay the bills on 10 hours a week, I can live comfortably on 20. Although it took months to build up to being able to be online 2 hours and still make good $

    This is just my fifth week camming. The first week and Thanksgiving week I cammed both weeks just under 15 hours total. A little each day. Both weeks I made just under $300 with absolutely no prior experience. On Streamate and a BBW, to me that was worth it.

    Besides, I thought I could just rush right in and pull 60+ hours a week...I have always been able to do that with plant jobs...but this is really an overwhelming job at times, especially being a fresh face, you should be able to devote your all and I just can't pull even the 40 yet.

    In my experience, I am developing an overwhelming interest in getting this right and any hours worked = money and experience earned.

    Give it your best hon...as much as you are available and things will get good....IMO. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!

    I started really focusing on camming in May but I had another job so I only worked about 3 hours a day, only a couple days a week. I was fairly consistent regarding the time of day I worked. I was able to build a fan base and consistently raise my per hour earnings with only working 2-3 days a week, 3-4 hours at a time. Very slowly, I started decreasing my day job hours and increasing my hours on cam. I quit my day job in October. I still don't put in full time hours in camming (maybe ~15hrs/wk), but I make more than I ever did working a full time "straight" job.

    Everyone is different though. Everyone has different experiences. What works for one person, may not work for another. What is a kick ass earnings night for one girl might be completely unacceptable for another. I'm able to afford my life making $700-800/week, though I'd love to make more, but I'm lazy so it is what it is.

    Absolutely! I personally do about 12 hours a week. I make $70-100 per hour.
    I feel like if I logged on more hours my earnings would actually go down. Working less makes the guys miss me haha.

    It will definitely take longer to build up a base of regulars working less time, but I have other commitments, so I work between 10-20 hours a week and am happy with my earnings.

    The only thing to do is to try it and see - and make sure you are working consistently, and putting in real effort when you do work.

    Lately, I've actually been online camming about 20 hrs/week...but when I include the hours I put into working on my blog, twitter, content, graphics, etc I'm putting about 40 hrs/week. Hope it'll pay off!

    Hey, what I do is a make a weekly goal amount, then i work it till i reach it for that week. So for example bank $500 each week, so say i go on 5 times a week, make $100 each night..BAM, and usually I make $100 bucks in about 2 hours, sometimes I make double in that time, so if i do i just work less days that week. Usually tho, my goal is $500 each week. But hey im not complaining when I do infact go over $500 a week which has been happening a lot more now since im getting a good amount of regulars !!!!
