    Yes, it will! You should all stay offline and let me check for you. I'll contact you when it appears to pick up again. But due to the economy it probably never will. So you should stay offline and work somewhere else.

    There are lots of variables in that equation. But given that the majority of total webcam dollars being spent are spent by American customers, January is typically affected by ...

    - credit card bills for Christmas shopping arriving in early January

    - the $106,000 limit on US Social Security taxes resets, meaning that a large number of higher earning American guys will see their paychecks 'shrink' until they again earn a total of $106,000 in 2012 thus Social Security taxes will again stop being taken out of said paychecks.

    - estimated taxes for 4th quarter 2011 are due on January 16th ... a time period that often includes year end bonuses / Christmas bonus payments / higher seasonal business earnings etc. ... which will require a higher ( sometimes much higher ) estimated tax payment be made.

    - for homeowners who don't use mortgage escrow, annual property taxes may be due in January

    - for people in northern climates in both North America and Europe, high seasonal heating bills start rolling in by mid-January

    ... all in all, January usually represents 'cash crunch' time ... leaving fewer dollars available for spending on non-essential items like webcam girls and exotic dancers !

    It may be dead after the holidays, but the only way to find out is to actually get on cam. At least we know that somewhere in the world, there's guys with money ready to spend on the cam sites. Otherwise MFC models wouldn't be completing their room topics, and SM models wouldn't be performing their gold shows.

    January/February is when a lot of people get tax refunds too. That's another way you could look at it.

    That's true, but mostly for 'working class' employees with little or no savings or investments. They are the only ones in a position to file a tax return based on their last pay stub of 2011 plus an employer W2 which is legally required to be filed and sent out in January. And from a logical standpoint, 'working class' employees make up a minority of paying webcam customers.

    For anyone who has investment income, business income, interest income, royalty income, etc. the official documents necessary to prepare a tax return aren't legally required to be filed and sent out until the end of February. Even with immediate tax return filing plus a quick turnaround by the IRS and state tax agencies, this means that 'refund checks' aren't likely to start showing up until late March or more probably April. And logically speaking, this group makes up the majority of paying webcam customers.

    Also, based on the way things are going in Washington right now, it's likely that Americans are going to be 'hanging onto' their tax returns this year. The reason is that, so far, extensions of the Social Security / medicare tax cut, as well as extension of the GWB income tax cut, will only extend through the end of February 2012. If/when these tax cuts are allowed to expire, it could mean a 5% reduction in 'take home' paycheck size i.e. a 'lost' $2500 for a 'working class' taxpayer earning $50,000 per year, and even more for those Americans with higher incomes. This additional tax will directly impact the 'disposable income' level ... which is of course what funds paid webcam sales.

    I knew someone was gonna dispute my original post.

    And I'm trying to look at the bright side of things. You MAY get customers who just happened to get a nice tax refund. As I said in my original post, you'll never find out unless you GET ON CAM.

    Also, cam girls have to stop constantly making excuses like "I won't get on cam this week, because it's dead this time of year." That's one week that you're GUARANTEED to earn $0 (unless you're on a site where you get offline tips), while the guys with money go visit OTHER models and pay THEM.

    Getting on cam (even if it's dead) at least means that you CAN earn money. When you're a cam girl, you don't have a boss, so it's really easy to allow yourself to slack off.

    Next month models are gonna be like "I don't feel like getting on cam, because I think it'll be dead. Guys are recovering from holiday spending." No matter what site it is, there WILL be girls on there making money. And you staying offline just means that guys will go visit someone else's chat.

    If cam girls continue thinking like this ("It's dead this time of year"), they'll hardly ever get on cam.

    In the summertime, men go on vacations with their families.
    On Thanksgiving, men are enjoying a nice dinner with their mothers, etc.
    At Christmastime, men are buying gifts for the gf's/wives/kids/parents/etc.
    In January, men are recovering from the holiday spending.

    It's always something...lol. That doesn't mean you should just NOT cam at all.

    A guy spent $43 on me last night on SM just to type topless to him (keep in mind that was just 30% of what he actually spent on me) and I know a lot of gals here still get guys spend a lot more than that on them. The atmosphere in this private was also completely chilled, because he didn't seem to be frantically jerking to me with a billion different physical requests with one eye on his wallet.

    If I was off cam that night because I worried I wouldn't get much on account of guys being tight for cash at this time of the year, I wouldn't have made anything at all. But now I think I may have just caught a pretty awesome regular.

    Please - don't forget that there IS such a thing as wealthy, wealthy fucking guys. We want those ones! And those wealthy guys are more likely to show their faces during this time of year because they've done their Xmas shopping, etc, but they're still coming to camsites! The poorer guys will be offline during this time of year.

    The wealthy ones however can and do spend on camgirls in what we are tempted to see as "low points" during the year - because they can afford it.

    The guys we WON'T see turn up in our chat after Xmas are the poorer guys.

    Think of it this way: This season is a filter. This season filters out the poorer guys.

    Reel in the big ones girls! x

    Exactly!! And let's not forget that just because you're short on funds doesn't mean you won't spend money on the things you really want. How many times have we all spent money on shoes, make-up or some other guilty pleasure even though we might have had a bill due? I know I have. I know my cell phone bill is due but going to this movie really makes me feel good so I go see the movie. Guys will spend money on things to make them feel good and they will always have a little leftover to spend on us. It's a credit card for God's sake lol. I tried not to come into this thread because I knew it was going to be filled with all types of reasons why we wouldn't be busy. Glad to see you have a positive outlook Brownfox.

    ^^^ I'll also add that, on a case by case basis, in both strip clubs and on webcam, there's nothing preventing a particular dancer or camgirl from appealing to a particular customer who has 'money to burn' !!! And this is just as likely to happen during the month of January as at any other time.

    So even if the overall averages point to a conclusion that dancers or camgirls in general are going to face lower earnings potential in the month of January, that clearly does NOT mean that every dancer or camgirl is going to experience lower earnings.


    This season is a filter. This season filters out the poorer guys
    This is absolutely true. Thus 'Upscale' dancers and camgirls aren't likely to experience as much 'January effect' !
