    Default Does anybody cam 7 days a week?

    Tonight will be my 14th night straight that I have been camming since coming back from a mini vacation and I am afraid to take any nights off because it seems like the first time I take a single night off, my SM placement drops like half a page. I have great placement now and am paranoid as hell to miss a night so I have been steadily camming every night for 14 nights which is making me miss out on so much sleep but whatever...

    Just wondering if anybody else cams every day of the week without taking any days off?

    I am not sure how long I am going to go without taking a day off but I really don't want my placement to fall so I figure getting 5 hours of sleep a night isn't as bad as losing great placement.

    Don't wear yourself out chica, 5 hours is under the recommended average for adults...lack of sleep can cause all sorts of problems :S

    But yes, I'm interested to see what people say about this as well...

    Placement on SM is based on how much money you make per hour and in general. And of course using the encoder, phone, etc. After that, I believe its rigged by Streamate to show celebrities first then pornstars. But if you make as much as them per hour, then you are usually up there too.

    I work abotu 3 to 4 hours a day on camming, then some days I see my escort clients my sleep comes first. I use to work longer hours camming and after a while you get tired its not worth being on longer in a day. it's actually more healthier to be working shorter hours everyday. As for the placement I haven't noticed a difference.

    Well I only work 2-3 hours a night tops.. I log on after the kids are in bed at 8:30 and stay on till 10:30 most nights but sometimes to 11:30 then it's 12:00AM by the time I am sleeping and getting up at 5AM to get the kids ready for school and to clean house, etc, etc. I sit anywhere between the 1-3 top rows every night but in December I was at this placement as well and I took 1 night off and I dropped down the bottom of the page and just barely got my placement up again. So I suspect that logging in every 24 hours does have some affect on placement as well, atleast for me.

    Don't wear yourself out!!! Working 5-6 days and being able to do it long term is better for placement than working a month straight, getting sick with exhaustion and having to take the next few weeks off entirely to recover!!

    Personally, I work 3-5 days a week now, but will be going up to 6 days once I am done with the day job (five weeks. Five week. sigh) That said, I am working anywhere from 2-7 hours a day, so my total is anywhere from 6 - 30 hours a week depending on my schedule, how I feel, etc etc.

    I wouldn't get so stressed about placement - you don't want to burn out or get sick!!
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    I take 5 days off in a row sometimes and my placement doesn't drop, so I wouldn't be afraid to take days off because of that. You will get really burnt out!

    But damn, 14 days in a row! Good for you!

    I take off like 5 days in a row when I'm on my period and my placement doesn't seem to change at all. And I only work like 3 days a week.

    I try to work for at least 2 hours every day. It means that I never have the 'oh god, don't make me cam' feeling, but also keeps money dripping in.

    I also have my boys text me when when they're going to be online too so I know I can hop online and make cash and log off

    I've been trying to work every day for at least 2-5 hours a day, because i haven't been making enough money lately,

    There is a News article floating around the interweb at the moment - ''10 things people regret on their death beds '' , something like this ... and one of the top biggest regrets of the dying turned out to be ''I wish I had spent less time working ''

    Take heed guys , everything in moderation ... Life's for living also , it's sometimes hard to remember that when you're self employed .

    I know Im gunna sound like a cheeseball but in reality all that matters is the time you've spent doing what you love and sharing your time with who you love, those are the only things that truly matter in life. Make enough money to live what you consider a happy life, I know i don't need much of that "paper" to be happy. I prefer to spend more time with my daughter n friends. !!

    Default Re: Does anybody cam 7 days a week?

    I try to work for 3-4 hours every single day and only take a day off if I am really cranky and know my attitude on cam is gonna suck, if my female parts are just way too sore, or the first couple of days when I'm on my period. That usually works out to me only taking about 5-6 days off per month, and I can manage working up to 16 days in a row.

    I personally find it easier to work fewer hours more days than more hours fewer days, but when I've had to take 1-3 days off in a row I haven't noticed it affect my placement at all because generally I am very consistent. Fwiw I work mornings, I'm usually in the third or fourth row on the homepage, and usually first or Maaybe sometimes second in my category (ebony). I wouldn't consider myself a top earner AT All, my hours are very part time even though my hourly's not bad.

    I'm right there with you TXCamgirl. =] I only took off 4 days last month.


    It is not worth camming unless I make over a grand per week after taxes and paying my own benefits. (As you guys can tell from my 'Taxes Is Camming Still Worth It' thread.) I treat this like a normal job, 40 hours per week, set schedule and always on time.

    I try to, even if it's only for an hour. Emphasis on try. I only work about 3 to 5 hours total anyways, so I figure why shouldn't I?

    Well last night seemed pretty sucky so I logged on and made 35$ then logged off... I'll see if my placement dropped any tonight since I only stayed on for 45 minutes. I worked for 20 hours last week over the period of 7 days so not full time but enough for me. I finally did catch up on a little sleep due to logging off early last night though and it feels good!

    I think I might start taking Fridays off each week since they generally suck balls for me.

    Taking days off is for those who work 6-8-or more hours a day..

    If you only work 4-5 hours a day...its ok to work 7 days a week....

    I have been trying to work seven days a week, but only because if I am off cam for one day I find it so hard to get back into the groove and get back into 'camming mode'.

    I only work about 2-3 hours a day these days. I am trying to work longer but free chat has been burning me out.

    I just got back to camming after an 8 day vacation and didn't really see my placement drop a lot. Maybe one row? So I am not sure how much taking time off affects placement.

    The past months I focused more on indie shows, freechat is kind of a pain cause my attention span sucks, that's why I can't do more than 2 hours with little breaks these days! Ugh need to work on that.

    I would just like to say, I totally admire the heck out of you! I have no idea how you manage to push yourself to 40 hours a week, you are a freaking rockstar! I'd love to hear some of your advice on how you are able to keep at that pace.

    Yes! Like some above said, dont wear your self out! My husband & I did that once. Worked EVERYDAY for a straight month! Averaging 5-6 hrs per night. We also got up on Sat morning (after working til 1am) Fri. and worked for about 4 hrs then took a break, got back on that night and did it all over again. lol We have FIVE boys and we needed mega bucks for Christmas! And yes, they had a GREAT Christmas but we was sooooooo wore out! We then ended up taking a week off or so.. I was soo tired. I also do my solo girl during the week days but I couldn't even do that! lol Took about 2 weeks to recover from that =P
