    i was stripping and working at the salon at the same time. both FULL TIME! eeeek! i know it isn't camming but i did both for about a year and i just couldn't take it anymore. it was nice at first to be so busy. i was always on the go all the time and it made me feel important for some odd reason. but i also hated living that double life to be honest. hairdresser by day, stripper by night. the hours and the time turned extremely stressful on me and i was always tired, i barely even had enough time to sleep. also towards the end before my quitting the salon, i had a couple of my clients walk into my strip club, saw me and kept requesting dances from me and kept coming up to my tip rail for my stage performances. it was very unprofessional and i did not like that one bit. with that said and along with many other long list of reasons, i had to quit the salon and ended up dancing full full time (7 days a week, i practically lived at the club). i made damn good money at first then shit happens in life and made some life mistakes, blew the money as fast as i made it, which kept me in the cycle of working all the fucking time and making much less money on top of it cuz the economy in my area kept getting bad.

    i was in the crazy busy working routine for damn near 4 fucking years. it was honestly refreshing when i entered into camming. for the first time in my whole life, i could really fucking relax and make good money. as lazy i get at times, it is still nice as hell to work when *I* want to work. it took me a while to really get into the swing of things camming wise (since it was a whole new world for me, esp. being so used to face to face interactions only while working) but now i am at the point where, i have a routine, (don't always follow it to the T but as long as my numbers stay consistant, it's what keeps me on track). and now i got my camming hustle down very well and have a very good footing on dealing with the whole online aspect of my work.

    i am very glad that there were a cpl of camgirls working in my club (that was how i found out about it and peaked my interest, then my online research began.) i found SW before camming but then realized that after searching the whole interwebz on the topic, i found out that all the camming info was already here. this was before CC when camgirls were in otherwork, so it wasn't as clear as day to find unless u did a specific search function of the topic. i feel that i have so much potential ahead of me, my life is way more flexible than it has ever been.

    i plan on doing some traveling this summer to visit some fam in other states and i wanna check out the local strip clubs while i am out. because now i can do that not because i have to but just because i just want to. having fun and making money. i feel like this is a whole new chapter in my life and am creating a whole new me. i owe it all to camming. as much as i enjoyed stripping for a while, i started getting involved with the wrong types of ppl and the geo locations of stripping crippled me as far as making money goes. camming truly saved my life and sanity. i wouldn't give it up for the world.

    ETA: sorry for the long post.... oooops, Lol.

    I'm just now starting to work both my jobs from home for a while, and LOVING IT! But I think that a big part of that is that I have created a schedule, and intend to stick to it to the letter...I work very very well when I create my own schedules and stick to them - it was what I did when I was dancing full time, and I never missed a night of work unless I was really, really sick. But I'm not a major procrastinator - I tend to just do stuff.

    When I was working my day job, however, it was killing me - I wrote a post about it a while ago about coming home totally exhausted and drained, and unable to find the energy to get on cam and work. I started filming clips and doing admin, because I just couldn't force myself on cam.....maybe it's different if your job gives you energy, but I was drained at the end of every work day.

    I've been looking into other work to do besides camming since I graduate highschool this month and I'm not sure what I'll be doing...job/college/trade school wise..
    I've been thinking about a part time thing to kind of fill in the money gaps and the resume. Then I got an offer to do sex toy parties for a new business. It's mostly independent work just orders done through the site and they get their cut. I'm really thinking that this would be a fun way to make more money and it's also a bit more "legit" Plus, another flexible schedule but this one out of the house!
    I have two kids and I'm single, so having time for them is so important to me

    Update...Its now been a couple months that I have been working entirely from home - camming and (supposedly) working on my art/tattooing.

    All my dreams of schedules and keeping to plans and making all the money kinda went down the drain, and FAST. I started lazing around the house, doing a whole heap of nothing, and convincing myself that it was ok, because "tomorrow I'll just work 12 hours". Ha! As if I have ever been able to cam for 12 hours in a day!! LOLOLOLOL So, instead of making loads of money, I was struggling, and my tattoo equipment has been gathering dust.

    Damn.

    I'm finally starting to pick up, get used to having my own schedule, etc etc, and am creeping up to my target of 30 hours per week. Tattoo stuff is still dusty, but we're getting there.

    I think that it is incredibly difficult to motivate yourself and actually GET IT DONE....but once I get online, I do much better, because I am happier - more relaxed, etc etc. I think that I was working more when I had a part time job not because it motivated me (on the contrary - I would get home exhausted and wouldn't work) but because I knew that I only had x number of days to work.

    I still wouldn't go back - but it's much harder than I thought it would be!!

    Due to my health issues, disability and such - I try my best to stay busy as much as I can.

    I have a lot of vanilla gigs on the side that I still do, just to stay active.

    I do a lot of computer repair (IT Degree), Legal Consulting on certain matters, (1 semester away from graduation because I haven't gone back due to my health), and I also bartend at different legions for different events and travel to different bars.

    I have a vanilla job, go to school, and do various forms of sex work. I'm always exhausted and have basically no relaxation time but I feel really rewarded in the end and that's what matters most to me.

    This is a decent thread to revive though, I was talking to a camgirl friend about this the other day. I am not going to pick up a vanilla job, but to be less hermit-y I am planning to check out some volunteer opportunities that sound interesting. I tend towards hermit in general, so I have to force myself to go out and socialize a bit so I don't turn into Gollum, stroking my favourite dildo...my preciousssss...

    I've worked so many different " hourly blends " a week. I think the happiest blend for me was about half dancing ( or sexy massage depending on what I was into at the time ) and half normal vanilla work for an ultra smooth cover story and well as just having the dose of " normal life " . I was only a successful full time dancer for about a year before I started burning out and went part time.

    I have a vanilla job 2 days a week. I don't cam on those days unless I'm behind and need to make my goal badly. I'm just exhausted when I get home from my vanilla job. ON my days off my vanilla job I cam. I don't feel like camming is a job....I consider it fun, so its like my hobby that makes me money

    I have been lurking this site for so long! lol. It has been such a big help in me starting camming, but this is something I have been struggling with. I have been jobless since moving in with my boyfriend and thought that I could make enough just camming, and give me the flexibility to have an income while we are constantly moving around (he's in the military) but I'm finding that having so much freedom in choosing when to work makes me sooo lazy lol. I reeeally want to devote much more time to this. It's so hard to find the motivation to get on cam, but I know when I do I feel satisfied because I'm making good money. But it's really like pulling teeth to get me to log on. So I'm thinking about getting a part-time vanilla to help get my work drive going and get me to get on cam more regularly. And also to have some emergency money on the side when I don't feel like camming lol.

    I find it easy to be a hermit and work from home. I've always worked from home. I'm autistic and find it overwhelming to spend 20-30% of my day dealing with office bullshit. I mean I had a negative performance review because I did not want to eat lunch with catty girls at the office last time I tried a standard out of home job; even though my job description didn't include "listen to pointless small talk from stuck up women while trying to enjoy food". Also, I can't drive, which limits my options.

    But I do work vanilla jobs from home..just as a safety net.

    I agree with what many of you are saying about working at home, not enjoying typical office jobs. I'd rather have my freedom, than have it controlled by others, as Minnie was saying. I'm sharing this link, because if you cam, or do other adult things, but want to balance it out with some vanilla stuff, this might be helpful. Side hustles are always nice! Some is online and some is offline, I believe. http://www.believeinabudget.com/

    But there's a side hustle challenge, how to earn more in side hustles etc, that I think all the (very smart) ladies on here would appreciate!
