    ^^^ This is all AWESOME advice!!!!

    I think the problem is that so many girls get into this thinking they can just hop on cam and make a living.... and then wonder why they aren't making any money. It truly is a business, a full time or MORE than full time job. You really have to work hard at it if you want to make it.

    Thanks for the tips Sam!
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    Sam38g your amazing! I wanna be like you when I grow up! lol ... I admire your hardwork and you give us such great tips. And yes the book/movie "the secret" will change the way you look at everything. It's very empowering once you realize you control your own destiny!

    Hmmmm...I would be pretty stumped too!!! I mean, those are REALLY bad numbers...

    When I read your original post I thought that maybe you were just new, and it was your first three weeks.....which would make sense - but you have been doing this for two YEARS?

    How consistent are you with your hours? I have found that my placement vastly improved when I started logging on every day (or, 6 days a week) rather than just a couple days a week...Consistency really helps.

    Honestly, it seems like you have gone through everything that I would think of - checking your profile, stream, equipment....

    Advice to do clips and promote cammodels is great, but it won't solve your underlying problem if you are just not getting privates when people come into your room.

    All I can suggest is changing attitude - working like you are GOING to make money, like you are just the happiest girl in the world - I know that when I start getting frustrated, it does start to show, and I have to take a break and shake it off otherwise I can see the desperation in my own eyes!! Personally, I wasn't a fan of the Secret at all, but it is definitely a worthwhile read...

    nope nope nope. I had a freaking computer programmer fluff my computer and set up my encoder and it works GREAT. I started 3 weeks ago camming in the morning like 7am- 9:30 or 10am EST and was doing well like $100 well. Private shows only!! Id be on for 5 minutes in the morning and be in private with only a few minutes between them. So, one night I decide to go online and check out the PM crowd. DEAD! I sat in an empty room for 60 min and logged out.

    You have to keep in mind that most girls go online at night. Try mornings or afternoons. If you are trying to get to page 1, you are being compared to the girls who have regulars for years and are doing great. In the morning and afternoon your stats will be up because it's all about averages.
    You vs 18566849397264657 girls making $300 a night or you vs. 400 girls making $100. Your averages will increase.

    I just read the whole thread and it went away from the issue of placement a bit but I just wanted to say that for me, being higher in placement actually seems to HURT me more than help me...sure, it brings in many more people but those people are looking for gold shows or very cheap shows...I rarely do gold shows because they just never seem to be worth it to me, when I have done them. I've had someone staying with me lately so I haven't been able to log in nearly as much as I need to and it is KILLING me...I know that is part of the reason I'm not banking as much...but I just wanted to mention the placement part as well, for me it seems to do more harm than good believe it or not. I'm going to look into promoting as well though as I definitely started slacking on all of it

    Idk what you girls are saying about not making money on streamate. Ive actually been doubling my pay. How about maybe changing your schedual. Sometimes that can work. Some models do better during the day while others do better at night. Today i kept reaching my goal show gold which was normally over 200. Maybe try a different site, some models dont do as good on one site as they might kick ass at another. DOnt give up just find a niche that works for you and stick with it.

    Tonight I was on page 2 and rolled in over $200 in less then 3 hours. Yesterday I was on page 1 and made around $5, granted I was only online for 30 minutes, but sheesh, over 25 minutes in free chat.

    ^^ Second that. There might be slow days, right, but never slow weeks, or months, or seasons. Weekdays are not as good as weekends, but definitely not dead. Cam often, regularly (daily if possible), and for long - that will help you get a nice flock of regulars to guarantee your income.

    OP you never mentioned how much you charge..
    what you charge has direct impart on how much you make.

    but there is also a very important point here...
    everyone is so obsessed over SM so everyone;s fighting to get more, do more..
    BUT.. SM has only 1 st page and only 6 first 6 rows..
    How do you get there? Stand out from the crowd! How?
    thats for you to decide , but you need to stand out......

    I have always found that in the sex industry, Christmas is an insanely lucrative time. I LOVE christmas.

    Yes, there may be some "extra" girls logging on, but there are far more guys that are sad and lonely because its Christmas, and they are the ones that will pay to sit and talk....love it. People are also off work and bored, men trying to get some alone time away from the insanity of a family christmas, guys blowing christmas bonuses, guys coming home drunk from all the christmas parties....

    Merry Merry indeed!

    Agree!

    Oh it's Valentines day - guys will be doing out with their girlfriends / wives / partners!
    Oh it's football season - guys will be out drinking!
    Oh it's Thanksgiving.. Oh it's Christmas.. Oh it's election time.. Oh it's Summer.. Oh it's Winter.. Oh it's New Year.. Oh it's Friday.. Oh it's the goddamn WEEKEND!! GAAAH!!

    Lol! I promise this post is not to spite anybody who has said things like this - I've come out with a few myself too! It just can get very demotivating to see it so often - always people coming up with new reasons as to why things aren't going well, when all it really is is that some days are better than others no matter WHAT is going on.

    I don't think any of us can tell you what you're doing wrong. Maybe you could privately ask a cam-girl to watch your cam and give you advice. It might help to look at your feed through different eyes. I'm sorry I can't offer advice, but I do feel that there must be something wrong with your feed or audio. It just doesn't make sense otherwise.

    You almost forgot ...

    It's the beginning of the month: Guys are broke because they just paid their bills
    It's the end of the month: Guys are broke because they spent all their extra cash.

    Okay, okay ... I just mean this in good humor, I promise.

    ok y'all i want to thank everyone for their advise..this is the first time i've had the chance to get on cam since starting my new job...and here has been my findings.

    i'm still using my friend's laptop...

    when i use the Encoder..my cam time lags by at LEAST 3-5 minutes behind. Which loses people because there is such a lag.

    Ok, i tried just using the built in thing (HD High, HD Light) which of course doesn't have the encoder quality..and it makes my cam lag and jerk..which is what i'm trying to AVOID.

    With the encoder i have adjusted the settings..i've had it on the exact recommended ones..i've also tried to put it at the frame rate at 12 and bit rate 650 settings..and still with the time delay..on top of making my cam jerky.

    i don't use geo-blocking. This laptop is a gaming laptop..so it has EVERYTHING we're supposed to have. i7 core, etc.

    i have never, ever gotten a tv show, and i usually opt in for them.

    i am at a loss..i don't know what else to do!

    My internet connection is the fastest i can get for my area and company.
    My download speed is 72.69 - 81.63 Mbps
    My upload speed is .18 - .55 Mbps.
    The download speed happens immediately but the upload speed takes about a minute to connect and test.
