    Default A little gratitude and inspiration!

    Something that I posted in "You know you are a camgirl when..." made me want to create a whole new thread....so here it is!!

    I had been feeling a little bored and burnt out lately, and then had a bit of a realization this morning....this job freaking ROCKS!

    I mean really...I was thinking to myself that I haven't been making "enough" money lately, and blah blah blah. Then I realized that I was thinking this while sitting on my balcony in the sun at 2pm, and the "not enough" was still around $30 an hour (appalling!). Lets think about that for a second...if any "normal" person saw this as a job posting, they would be leaping all over themselves to apply:

    "$30 p/hr + (up to $200 p/hr, performance dependent)
    Completely flexible hours. Work whenever you like, as many (or few) hours as you like.
    Unlimited vacation and sick days.
    Work from home
    Freedom with dealing with customers - only work for those you choose to.
    Apply any time."

    If I had seen that ad before I got into the industry, I would have assumed that it was a scam!

    And lets be honest, even if the money was miserable, I would still do this!! If I could only do one job, and I was choosing between this and, say, managing a store, or piercing (which I used to do), or admin....I would choose this one for the same money. Frankly, if I had to choose between this job making 50K a year, and being a lawyer (I went to law school) for 100K, I would still choose this one, because I would hate to have to work 60+ hours a week...

    So I'm going to stop getting frustrated that I "only" made $30-40 per hour. I'm going to stop acting like a spoilt brat, whining (in my head) about having to actually WORK instead of lazing around reading and sketching all day, and remind myself that I am incredibly lucky to have such an incredible job.

    With my new mindset, I had a lovely day on cam. No, I didn't bank. But I did actually enjoy myself. I finished without feeling exhausted and miserable. I felt grateful to be working.

    So maybe tomorrow (or today!), just take a few minutes to really think about how lucky we are to have this job! I can't promise that its the secret to making a grand today, but it maybe is the secret to making today grand!

    I've stopped knocking what I make - whether I make $6 in an hour or $60 in an hour, hey, it's still money I didn't have before I turned on the cam! Great post lady

    Definitely agree with this. The conditions of camming are pretty much amazing. The only real downside is that it can limit your future career options, but aside from this the job itself is pretty amazing. 30/hr for fapping/catering to fetishes? Awesome.

    I plan to cam as a side job for pretty much forever.

    Ahh yesss. I actually did the math on this one just a few days ago using my earnings from the other week...
    The money I made from approximately 20 hours of camming would have taken me about 170 hours to make at my old dreary office job.... Holy hell.... Yes I love this job, not only because of the money- but because (most of the time) it doesn't make me want to kill myself/everyone around me lol

    & fridays i get what you mean too but, if they are already in camming connection it's probably too late to stop them anyways

    Thank you so much for this! I'm new and I keep thinking to myself about how much it sucks to have "only" made $200 in like 8 hours. I actually have it pretty good. I need to stop being so greedy.

    Haha - I get ya!

    But at the same time....like Peaches said - anyone reading this is already on SW looking at being a cam girl...which means that she's wading through all the posts about annoying customers, stalkers, stresses, neighbors, being "outed", etc etc etc. It's a risk I'm willing to take to spread a little positivity.

    Thank you for reminding me what a totally awesome opportunity I have every time I turn on my cam.

    I'm not too worried though about this post attracting new hosts. There are a lot of folks who have religious objections, too shy, too uptight, privacy concerns, don't have the tech knowledge or the will to educate themselves, and for every $30 an hour host there are many others who can get on cam and make literally zero (has happened to me more often than I'd like to admit).

    Also, let's all remember that $30 an hour is not what you get to keep! Subtract expenses, taxes and anything else you'd be provided as an employee and you may find it's equivalent to what you might make in some types of corporate jobs.


    I'm still glad I can do this though, because with my health issues that have gotten worse in recent years it's likely I'd be quickly fired for calling in sick too often for any other job.
