    Dizzy Taking A Day Off

    So I've been lurking here for a week or so now, decided to finally post something. I searched for but I might have missed something so, if this has already been answered, I apologize!
    I've been camming for about a week now and I try to work every day. I've been doing pretty well (2-3 hours a day, $100 every shift) but I've started getting stressed out when I need to take a day off. For example, I worked my day job earlier today and came home sick and I've been sitting here anxious that if I don't feel better and cam tonight I'll lose regulars.
    Does anyone feel like this ever?

    Thanks!
    xoxo

    It *is* okay to take a day off if you need to.
    As long as you work regularly, nothing bad will happen.
    your regulars will come see you regardless, that's what the other 6 days of the week are for.
    Don't forget you need you time as well, and a miserable looking cam girl won't make $$.

    I too sometimes find myself struggling to take a day off, thinking that it might 'get me off track' somehow. I just tell myself that if I don't take a day off, I'll go crazy, and they don't let you work if you're stuck in a mental hospital.

    It is totally okay for you to take days off throughout the week. Success doesn't come from working non-stop, it comes from being consistent. Post a schedule on all the sites you work, stick to the schedule as best you can, and you will be just fine

    babe!! your well being and health is more important! it is SO ok to take a few days off a week. as long as youre not MIA for weeks at a time, you will never lose your regs. on that note, try setting up a twitter for camming so your regs can be up to date.

    You can absolutely take off a day or two every week - in fact, I would think that you would go kinda nuts if you DIDN'T!!

    Remember - this is a JOB - if you were working in an office, and they told you that you were expected to work 7 days a week or you would "lose clients" would you take that job? Or would you report them to the labor board?

    Don't worry that if you aren't on every day you will lose customers - you'll be fine! And you are working a vanilla job too? Geez, woman!! You'll burn yourself out! Go curl up with a book and a glass of wine and r-e-l-a-x......

    By all means, please take a day off. Believe me, regulars do get "tired" of seeing us. I don't take just one or two days off, I've taken weeks off and still do fine.

    I work 7 days a week, but I could NEVER even fathom doing that if I worked a free chat site. I'd lose my mind and would probably join MJ in the psych ward

    Big box camming is tiring, emotionally and physically, and you'll burn out if you don't schedule yourself regular days off. As some people have pointed out here, and in the past, taking scheduled days off can also keep your regs from getting too 'comfortable' with you, but also allows you to find new customers if you log in regularly. You need balance, real talk. I'm not the best one to talk, but you need to chill out every now and then, particularly if you have a full schedule doing other things. I promise you, your customers won't disappear if you give yourself days off.

    It's fantastic that you've dived right into camming, and that you're already starting to build regular visitors. Like everyone said, keep to a schedule and log in regularly, just make time to rest your mind and body as well. You're obviously off to a great start, just don't forget about balance. Aim for consistency over exhaustion

    welcome to camming and sw

    I am the most random person when it comes to camming.... some weeks I will cam less than 5 hours other weeks I will cam over 15 hours... I don't stick to scheduled. I work when I feel like it and I take time off when I feel like it...

    I find that my regulars find me no mater what and if I am missing them they are that much more appreciative of the time they get with me and they go pvt faster.

    I only cam 4-6 days a week and most of the time it is only 4 days. I also don't spend more than two on cam at time because really that is all that I can handel

    also camming at different times of the day introduces you to meeting new regs.

    I cannot go a week on cam with some asking me if I am new or where have I been... Its kinda of funny to me because I am normally on the front page. But this is what works for me.

    I totally feel like this! Like tonight my bf is over and I'm stressing out thinking omg if a regular sees I'm not online hell think I'm unreliable or even find someone else to be a regular to or what if I'm missing out on a great pvt?! I try tell myself that any other job you would probably have at least 1 or 2 days off a week and that it's all in my head and to just shut the hell up and relax

    You HAVE to take days off.
    I used to be addicted to the easy money making when I started camming but now.. ugh I love my days without having to look at some guys sausage.

    Days off are not only good for my mind, they're also good for my bank account!
    My regulars panic when I suddenly wasn't online for a few days and the next time I was online I had really long shows because they missed me, wanted to spoil me a little and some of my regulars just want a long chat after not talking to me for a while.

    Plus on my days off I get greedy and start shopping and a wishlist is good for motivation.

    Make a schedule and stick with it. On your days off dont even look at the computer/camming site you work on. I even try not to look at StripperWeb the days I dont work, lol but thats tough sometimes .


    Free your mind !! Get out do something fun!

    Thanks guys, I needed that. I ended up working last night (stupidly) and I only managed $80 over three hours because... I wasn't happy about being there. *facepalm* I'm definitely going to take at least one night off this week to relax. I've got a paper do this week anyway so, maybe, if I go work on it my regs will panic and spoil me next time like Milaa's do! (A girl can dream! lol)

    I'm just so glad I found stripperweb, I'm going to be frequenting here alot!
