    Default I miss free chat :-( seriously.

    Some of you may know that I am 100% indie for the moment (1. because I do well indie, and 2. it's freeeezing outside!).. but I'm sitting here reading all the threads about SM and I'm actually MISSING being in free chat. eh?

    I'm pretty hesitant of even going back to mainstream because it's so overcrowded right now, and it seems like I would have to work EXTRA hard to get back to where I was pre-indie. I was bringing in $300-$500/wk easy with about 2 hrs a day of free chat.. and not sure if that would even be possible now with the overflow.

    I'm very in between on whether or not I should even give it a go. I know I'm not going to make $100/day in the first couple weeks.. but it seems like everyone is having a tough time with making decent money in a short period of time.

    Do any of you miss free chat or camming after you haven't done it for a while?

    Have you noticed that you had to work super hard to get back to banking the way you were before you took a break?

    and then there is the GOLD shows.. I probably won't touch these with a 10-foot pole. I did horribly on MFC and I imagine the gold shows would put me in the same predicament. Any BBWs doing well with Gold shows?? Or Dommes??

    I'm just stressing slightly because I want to make more than I've been making before my property taxes are due in March. Christmas has killed my pocketbook.

    I'm doing indie and clips4sale and that's keeping me with my bills paid and a little extra at the end of it all.. but I went bat shit stupid on black friday and dipped into my tax moneyyyyyy... !! a little... please don't yell at me!

    So I need to grab any extra little bit before they are due... I hate borrowing money from my family because they are hoity-toity buttholes and it will give them a reason to look at me like I'm a bum or something. I hate that.

    Ugh. Just ugh.

    I could never imagine going back to free chat, but if I was in your shoes right now I totally would...it's better than asking your family for cash, and I suspect you'll be surprised how quickly you get back into the groove...the difference between a new cam-chica and someone like you is that you already know how to talk to custies, design a profile that suits your base, transition a convo towards a private, etc
    I say go for it. It's a great time of year and people are spending. I always find Dec is a wicked $$$$ month, right up to xmas, and this year seems no different. It may be a different story on big box sites, but who knows? The worst thing that could happen is you discover you don't want to go back to free chat for good, but you'll have made some $$$ anyway
    I think you're stark raving mad for actually 'missing it', but I say go for it!
    good luck and tons of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Why are you speaking as if the decision is all or nothing and final? The way I schedule, I only deal with free chat certain days of the week and for a few hours only. The rest of the time, I'm "behind the screen". Put SM on a rotation where you log on there for maybe 3 hours twice a week. I don't think that would be a huge time investment at all to get a feel for whether or not should incorporate it back into your routine fully.

    Also, don't pay attention to how other people say they're doing, even the ones who say they're doing well. Set your own goal. Aim for it. Fuck all these external excuses for why it's "slow".

    THIS.

    In the summertime, cam girls say it's slow because "guys are on vacation with their families."

    Right about now people are saying it's slow because "of the holidays."

    In January, people will say it's slow because "guys are recovering from the holiday spending."


    LOL. Not good enough. And if it's slow, then all logging off is gonna do is earn you $0 (unless you happen to get offline tips). If you want to make money, you have to turn on your cam at some point.

    And don't let the guys in chat get away with the "We're in a recession" excuses either. Especially the ones in chat who are bragging about the new expensive phone they just bought.

    Obviously, there are guys willing to spend on cam sites if models are completing their room topics and doing public shows.

    I agree with everything Spinerette said. If that indie train is working, please ride it, ride it hard for the rest of us
    . Im always glad to read when others get by well not on freechat... but if you need it every so often (like I do), keep it limited like Spinerette suggested


    lol at the title of this though - words I thought Id never see strung together!

    i'm a bbw and gold shows are worth it for me the higher my placement gets. right now i can only meet a $50-$75 goal but that's $15-$20 i didn't have before i did the show when privates are slow. and the higher my placement gets the higher goals i can meet.

    whatever you make is going to be more money than you had before. you might have to work harder than you did before you took a break but it'll even out eventually. for me i notice the more time i spend on consistently, the more money i make. so that means every time i take a break for 5+ days it's slow at first starting back up but once i'm on today, then tomorrow, then the day after that it picks up and it gets better. that's just how camming on big box sites is. the more you're on the more you'll make. don't log on and you won't make anything. you know? if you're worried about money every little bit helps.

    and i agree wholeheartedly with what's already been posted - it's not all or nothing. work indie, cam on big box sites to fill in the gaps. or whatever. i'm glad indie has been working out for you

    I just want to grab a feel for the air of mainstream right now.. I've been on 'break' from mainstream for a very long while now and am almost intimidated of going back to streamate with all the new changes. Plus, beings I cam outside >ugh< and it's freezing now is also having a big impact on my "should I, should I not? Is it worth it?" It's okay when I know I'm getting a show and I can run out there for 15-30 minutes and perform.. but sitting out there for hours with the possibility of no money? brrrrr...

    But for realz- I do miss free chat. Don't ask why cuz I dunno I think I miss the interactions and talking out loud, honestly!

    I just don't know if I'm going to sit out there freezing my vag off for nothing.. and I've been doing this long enough to knoooooooooow that it truly is a case-by-case basis as far as being 'slow' or not. I guess I am just freaking out a little bit. But I think I will give it a go for maybe two weeks and see if it will pan out for me or not. That's all the freezing weather I can stand unless I'm making hella money.

    If you need to watch how a BBW can work a gold show, take a peek at www.juliasands.cammodels.com sometime. She's off the hook.

    Oh I love JuliaSands. She's a cutie and great personality too.


    Uh, why are you camming OUTside? I am so confused by this statement.

    Do they make sexy snuggies? ^__^ (shhh, I call dibs on patenting those!)

    I don't think missing free chat is weird at all. I got into camming because I'm an exhibitionist and after performing for free for awhile, I discovered I could get paid for it. I LOVE being watched. I love interacting with the people watching me (as long as they have more than 2 braincells). It's fun for me. You don't quite get the same feeling when it's just you and one patron. :/

    I have not acquired the love for the gold shows yet. I am also BBW on SM and I make anywhere from 300-500 for 11-26 hours a week so it is definitely possible. I am trying to up my hours to discover my true potential, but the category has been flooded this month.

    Besides, when I first started looking into camming, I found this forum through a mention on Youtube. And BlankStare....you were one of the people that inspired me. You had your face with a cigarette in the pose for your avatar back then. I didn't understand that you were Indie, just knew I had never seen you on cam on SM, but your pictures (as well as Julia Sands) made me believe that us bigger girls could be successful too!
    And you seemed to really know your stuff on all your responses.

    I sincerely hope you have a fun time!!

    i have tried working no free chat sites or indy...and i don't like it.
    even though i have days when i hate the things that come with free chat (like begging) it's still much better to me than just kind of waiting for money to come to me. i like the fact that with free chat its more up to me to make a sale (aka get a pvt). all i have to do is make sure i have a good attitude, say the right things, don't get frustrated, and look happy/sexy and i can make all i want. but without free chat its kind of more of a get lucky thing.

    haha I cam outside because I live in a one floor rancher w/ my fiancee and I also take care of some relatives, so I've got a full house here. I cam in my camper that sits just close enough to the house where I can grab a decent wifi signal. But there's no insulation and the heater I have in there is a joke. It's one of those nice Amish electric heaters, too... I should have realized 'Amish' and 'electric heater' was prob. not the best investment.

    Ahhhh! I was wondering why you were camming outside.

    I bet that guys would love that naked-underneath-your-blanket look. Laying on your side and having a nice large blanket covering your tits and pussy, allowing them to see just enough skin to drive them crazy.

    I would totally pick up a large heating pad to sit on (you can get battery-operated ones if you can't run an extension cord) If you're sitting on something warm you won't be as bothered by a lower air temp

    Why worry about competition...

    There are plenty of girls on there making money because the traffic & $ is there to be made.
    Your making a way bigger deal out of all this than necessary. After a couple of days back to camming on SM you will wonder WTF was I worried about.

    When I was a stripper, I always wanted to work at the club with the most hot girls. Because that is where guys with money go. A club with less competition meant no men & no money.

    At the end of the day, only person you compete with yourself. To do better numbers than the week before.

    I am a bbw, I do well on STreamate. LoVE the gold shows. I use them when it is slow or getting ready to work that day. Heck, I made $100 today showering and then drying my hair naked. By the end of that time had a bunch of them ready to take me prvt.

    Take advantage of it instead of being scared of changes.

    Smooches,
    Sam

    Log on and just do it. You will be able to find MORE indy customers interested in you. Especially if you have a website or another "indy profile" online. ( with the same name of course)

    Logging on to these sites are beneficial ! It also cures the boredom sometimes. Me and you are in the same boat.

    I took a long (2 months) break from free chat.

    I needed it to recharge my batteries. Go for it! You'll do great. Free chat can wear on you, but the money is nice at the end of the day!
