    Default What the hell is wrong with me?

    One month ago, I was feeling amazing. I was making really good money, I had some fantastic regulars who spent lots on me and my placement was getting higher and higher. Now fast forward to today. Things have gone to shit and I'm trying to figure out where it all went wrong.

    All my regulars have disappeared and now all I'm getting are 3 minute men. I can't remember the last time I got to the point in my show where I was filling my pussy. The camgirl friends I consider my equals are suddenly outperforming me on a daily basis. I spend all my time in free chat wondering where my next private is going to come from. I'm desperate to go back to stripping but I need to keep camming for money while I go through auditions, but being on cam is making me feel like crap. I can't work out what's changed.

    I'm not even sure why I'm posting this, I don't know how anyone can help. I just need to get it off my chest, I guess :/

    I see you have a link to Streamate in your profile. Its because they have changed a lot this year paying-traffic-wise, probably.

    How long were you working before things went bad? I think that in a lot of cases, if you are newer, you start out, and OBVIOUSLY things just keep going up, if you are any good at what you do! Placement rises, more and more privates....and then you plateau a little. Maybe your goals go up, or you have a really fantastic day/week and then it goes back down, and you feel like it has all started going downhill.

    There are definite ups and downs in the industry, so I wouldn't overthink it if you have a little slump.

    I've only been camming for 2 months, but I've already gone through a couple of slumps so it's not my first. Oh well, I changed from a croptop to a bra and I feel a bit better for the moment

    At two months, I wouldn't think twice about it!! Especially when it comes to "regulars"....I'm pretty stingy with that title...comes from dancing! I want a guy to be around for a couple months AT LEAST and spending regularly (at least once a week) before I consider them a "regular". And there are a lot of guys that will come in, get a little infatuated, spend a bunch of time with you for a few weeks, and then disappear completely....short attention spans!

    Honestly, I'm thinking that you have just plateaued a little bit, and are reading more into it than you should - the upward trajectory starts to slow!!

    I also don't know the time limit on being a "new model" for SM, but one month sounds reasonable. So you may have just dropped off the "new models" page...and if you were doing well, you were probably page one for "new models", so you were first stop for the guys that LOVE new models...now, if you are not on there anymore, that is a loss of a customer base. You'll build it back up again.

    If you've only been camming two months, I would say it's very normal for you to be in a "slump" right now. A month ago you were at the top of the "new models" page and probably got a lot more traffic because of that, so it gave off a perception that you were doing great. Now a month later you are not the "new girl" anymore, and that is going to take a hit. But, work at it and it'll get back up for you.

    I know how you feel. I have been kind of agitated these past few days because I was not getting the kind of traffic that I normally see and it shows in my paycheck. We all go through these slumps every now and then. It always feels good to get it off your chest though. It will start looking up again

    I've been camming for over two years and the last two months have been the slowest that I've ever known, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just keep your game up and keep trying your best and you'll be fine. I think a lot of people have been finding the industry quite slow for the past while..

    I totally sympathize with you! The same thing happened to me. I've been told many times that I'm beautiful but my problems are super slow upload speed (0.21mbps) and a blurry, choppy cam. I got those two things taken care of so now I'm ready to give it another try! This is my side job but I take pride in that I'm still a 'Head Hoe In Charge'.

    The posts above are right, lost the new girl tag, and everyone goes through slumps.
    but don`t let it get you down!! The custies can tell when you aren`t really enjoying what you`re doing!
    suck it up and smile, it doesn`t always work but most of my custies love the fact I am so 'happy'
    even on slow days, they think I am there because I love it. and I do, but I mean >.> i do it for the $ lol :3

    Thanks guys. After I made that post I changed outfits, went back on cam and ended up having one of my best ever days. I feel kinda silly for freaking out now
