    Default camming vs stripping: practical advice/solutions

    Hi friends.
    Summer here at my club is horribly slow. As in, Consistently less then 50 dollars a night. A few facts about me, to help weigh the pros and cons about the area/ season/possibilities.
    a. I currently work at a club
    b.I do have a vehicle ( runs good, needs 2 new tires in order to go on highway)= about 200 or so in repairs.
    c. I have about 20 bucks to my name
    d.. I own a laptop and a webcam, and have a decent connection
    e.. There are two more clubs in town, but they only do 10 dollar lap dances.
    I need help, and ideas to help me stay afloat during the summer. I am even looking for a regular vanilla job to help me out because this 50 dollars a day crap at my club is killing me. Ive had 6 interviews this month, two places were supposed to call back today but havent. I feel discouraged, anxious, and most of all, worthless dirt. Worthless because to the custies, I am only worth 50 dollars, and to the places I apply at, Im not worth a call-back or a job. I want so badly to have a positive attitude but instead I am scared, I feel stupid and like a hamster on a wheel.
    Should I completely give up dancing here until September or so? How is camming in the summer?
    Sorry if this post has a desperate tone to it but times are hard in michigan. I feel trapped literally in my location, financially, and to my club ( becuase of a non-competion policy) My goal would be to cam until I have some money saved up to travel dance, or if feasible switch over to camming fully in August.
    IS it super slow everywhere this time of year? I am scared my utilites are going to get shut off.

    Why not do a bit of both?

    You can still make awesome money doing those ten dollars dances. The best night I've ever had as a dancer...was in a ten dollar dance club.

    That sucks, girl! Sorry everything is so slow in the club scene where you are.
    Sounds like you have nothing to lose at this point, I would definitely give camming a try if I were you, even if it's just once in awhile for some income assistance until things pick back up at the club. Some girls say summer has been slower in the cam scene for them than other times, but I haven't really noticed any difference. Of course there are always good days and bad days anywhere, camming is not excluded from that, but camming can definitely offer you a lot more than $50 a night, mostly once you get into the swing of it. Who knows, you may not ever want to step back in a club again after trying it!

    I usually don't recommend specific sites since there are so many and some work for some people while others don't, so in most cases people try out more than one, but since you money situation seems quite urgent I would check out Streamate since they pay weekly and having a following/regulars doesn't really matter as much as it does on some of the other sites. If you decide to sign up, make sure to do it directly through the site so you don't get stuck in some shitty studio. The direct model sign-up for Streamate is Streamatemodels.com, it does require you to print/scan your documents and ID for registration though. MyFreeCams.com is another site that also approves applications pretty fast (like 1-3 days fast) and you don't need to physically print/scan them anything to sign up, they pay twice a month though, and the model sign up is right on their normal homepage.

    Goodluck in whatever you decide and if you have more questions just shoot.

    Well, I have never stripped in a club so I can't really compare, but I'd also say, why not do both? Especially considering that you already have everything you need in order to start camming as far as the computer, cam, and internet. Some people say summers are slower but this is my third summer camming and it's been my sole income for over two years, so you can definitely earn what you need to whether it is relatively slower or not. I work on a couple of different sites and I've found that if one is slower, the other one is usually a bit busier so it helps to balance out and allow me to reach my goals. Also, if you are in need of fast money you could do a search for Princess Jenny's daily pay studio. I am not registered with her myself but I've heard nothing but good things about her service. Basically, if you register for a site through daily pay everything you earn in one day will be paid to you the very next day, which a lot of people prefer over having to wait 1-2+ weeks for the site to pay them. There is a small fee involved (it's very small, and very reasonable), but if you need your funds available immediately it's definitely the way to go.

    Hey PinkBunny I used to do exotic dancing myself before I started camming on SM and I personally like camming more than dancing. The club I used to dance for in the Midwest was extremely slow, and I would generally take home about 75 dollars a nite and if it was a good nite I would take home around 200 to 350 dollars. All that really didnt matter though because Iwas constantly putting my money back into the club to work the next nite (stagefees, gas, costumes etc.) Camming gave me a lot more freedom then dancing in a club ever did, but don’t get me wrong if your at a good club with steady traffic like Hustlers or Spearmint you probably wont have a issue, but even there you still have deal with competition between how many girls are working the floor that nite and how many customers are actually willing to spend.



    The plus side to Camming is that you can get on whenever you want; you’re basically your own boss. You don’t have to deal with rude or pushy customers if you don’t want to, no stage fees or doing 8 to 10 sets on stage a nite with people tipping you practically nothing some days. If you want to get up and leave you can, unlike the club where you have to finish your shift. You don’t have to compete with other dancers and there’s no tip out at the end of the nite.



    Like Laurie said I think you should try both first and then see where it takes you!

    Good advice above...

    I'll just say I've stripped and went into camming and did well from the get-go. You have hustle skills, I am assuming, and you know your game I imagine. But camming and stripping, while they share a lot of characteristics, are two different animals entirely. Though I have to say with what you're making right now at the clubs, I'd waste no time (if you are sure you are ok with the possible downfalls of camming like being recorded on tube sites etc) and get to it right away while dancing. If you have one of those lights that bend/have three or more bulbs you can move around, or just some good bright light, you can get away with the cam you have on your computer built in for awhile...

    Good luck. It's hard being in those situations. I've been there. You may very well surprise yourself with camming. It's not instant riches but you can make really good hourly wages to begin with (it's definitely not unheard of to start at $25 or more per hour with camming if you have a good niche/look/luck/consistency)..

    Thanks- laurie I feel like both is a good idea. I might do bachelor parties for the summer, along with camming. Kyuupio- lol its kind of not funny but it is, I am always putting more money back into stage fees, etc.

    Blueroo- yes I want to suprise myself.. Just going to log on and do it! ps I am already a member/ signed up for mfc and adult work. The next one that would be cool is stream mate.
    and thanks isobel for the link. I searched high and low for one here earlier and I'm sure it will help.
