    Default SM How long do you stay online...

    When your not getting any money?!! I've been trying out different schedules and sitting online is no fun Espically when there is no traffic.... anyone have a formula that worked for them? When I was online on Monday for example 2 hours was about $60 and everytime I was ready to log out... boom private! But the rest of the week was pretty darn dry.... like 7-15.00 for an hour or two

    Now I've been on for about 1/2 an hour with barely any convo and/or traffic.... using encoder and phone so I'm pretty sure placement is ok... *can PM SN, if you feel inclined to check for me, I'm geoblocked....

    So Ladies, what do you do?? How long do you generally stay on before just, logging in later?

    If it's slow starting out I'll stay on for a full hour to see of it picks up... If nothing happens for that hour I'll log off and come back in an hour or two. If I've been on for awhile and doing good then it comes to a screeching halt I'll usually wait for 30 mins and if I go that long without a pvt or only with short minute men I'll sign off and try again later...
    However last night I had a BAD first 40 mins...I made $4 in that time...but I have company per for the weekend and they were gone so I decided to stick it out a full 2 hours until they got back and ended up making $100 for the 2 hours just with a really shitty first 40 mins...

    Geoblock affects.. How many countries you geoblock..Customers: single,married or couples? Do they watch web cams/porn Mo-Thu and drinking/dating/clubbing/be with family/buy sex at weekends? Do they watch web cams at the work/home/after work/before work?

    I have a schedule, and I stick to it no matter how slow it is, because I have many regulars who expect me to be online that time and would show up and have a pvt. Regs are my everything: even on my slow days, they get me my goal)).

    I wait at least 30 min if there is no show in 30 min i leave and take a 10 to 15 min break then come back. Regulars and big spenders can pop up anytime so it's good to wait it out as long as you can. All it takes is one show to turn everything around. Like it's possible to go 1 hr w/o a show then out of no where I got a 100 dollar show. There were so many times I find myself thinking I'm glad I didn't log off.

    This is me...except when I do get off I just think to myself "what if I had stayed 5 more minutes and then got a long show?" and I end up torturing myelf til I get back on.

    Yea lately this has been happening to me too. One night I was not feeling very well and was wanting to log off early. Good thing I didn't cause I made a lot of money at the end of my shift.

    If I go 15-20 minutes without a private I generally log off and take a brake - I am just not able to sit in free chat and do nothing. I have to be engaged/doing something - I have an anxious/hyper active personality so just sitting doing nothing kills me.

    I work really hard at not logging off until I have done the hours that I wanted to. At this point, I am usually working 5 hours at a time (finally - took me a while to build up to that!), and will just get on and stay on until I am done, traffic or not.

    I have found that if it has been slow for an hour, I'll start doing gold shows - even if I don't always make the goal, it brings in traffic, livens up the room and gets me talking - switches up the energy a bit! I've found that on the rare occasion that I do not start the show, someone will take me pvt as soon as I am done the countdown. Win win.

    Other than that, I might switch up the music, get up and dance, or start playing little games with myself - everyone knows that I LOVE to visualize silly things to get me in a good mood - so I might create cartoon characters out of usernames, or imagine them as breeds of dog, or whatever. Keeps my brain engaged!!!

    At the very most, I will take a 10 min break from time to time if I am just going INSANE, or if someone really throws off my groove by being really mean. Then I do a little mini-meditation and listen to a motivation video on YouTube - the speech from Rocky always gets me going...."If you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth!".

    I don't know about you, but I find that if I log off, I am DONE. It is so hard to convince myself to get my ass back on that half the time I don't. So powering through it always ends up more lucrative than "getting back on later"...because I never get back on later!!

    I would say stay on as long as possible if it doesnt mess with your mood. Some girls can stay of for 15min w/o action and still keep a positive attitude which will aid them in making money eventually. If staying on and having zero action makes ur mood impossible for guys to take you pvt, i say take mini brakes but only after you put a full hour in first.

    Are you referring to the 6th Rocky movie (titled 'Rocky Balboa') where he's applying for a license to start fighting again, and they're refusing to give it to him? The part where he talks about 'the pursuit of happiness', and he's like "I'm tryin' to pursue somethin', and you're not lookin' too happy about it." LOL! I'm a fan of the Rocky movies and have a big Rocky poster on my wall.

    And yeah, after his speech, they ended up approving him for the boxing license.

    I have set hours I like to work, but I refuse to stay on the whole time if I'm not making money at all or if it's all just those "free peek" dudes. I will stay on for 15 minute increments w/o any shows. So if I get one show (no matter how short), I make myself wait for 15 minutes before I log off. I rarely have to do this tho. But I've found that over-exposure is detrimental to my earnings. If the guys see that I'm not gonna sit around for free all day, the ones who DO intend to spend (mostly talking about my regs) are less-likely to try to milk me for free time before going private.

    Also, signing off and signing back on sends out notifications to anyone who is set up to be notified when you sign on. I wouldn't recommend abusing this. But if my room is dead, I'll take a break then sign back on. My room tends to fill up right when I sign back on, and it's usually not long before someone gets a show.

    It's when he is talking to his son about how he is blaming others for not being successful...

    "But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"

    I am the same way as you. I am really bad for getting back on later on since it is such a chore for me to get on in the first place. Plus I never enjoy my 'break' because the whole time I am on it I am thinking to myself how I should be on cam and just torture myself so it doesn't really relax me anyway.

    Forever. I stay online forever.

    Okay, I am exaggerating But I have been known to put in 8-12 hour shifts. When I was on SM I would just suck it up and work until I reached my goal no matter how long it took. Why not? It's not like on MFC where if you go too long without tips it negatively affects you. Traffic always came in clear waves for me. Even today (not on SM) I made $50 in two hours, but I don't really think of myself as making $25/hour. It's more like, $0 for an hour and 45 minutes, then $50 in 15 minutes. You're never going to catch those whales if you log out too early. I almost logged out right before my reg came in and spoiled me and man, am I glad I didn't!

    I try my best to stay on for 4-5 hours no matter what. But if I am not getting shows, I just start a gold show and usually end up with a private after. Gold shows are a good way to get the room moving if it's been dead.

    You have a "vanilla" job though, correct? To pay your bills, and camming provides you with "lifestyle" money?

    I know that if I logged off after 10 quiet minutes, I would NEVER make my money. But then again, I have my rates set to encourage longer stints in free chat and then more lucrative sessions...

    Yes, camming is my small side job. I only cam for a bit extra money for shopping and things of that nature. What are you rates on SM?

    Aha! Yes - I am imagining that for full-timers, logging off after 10 mins would be killer...but darling, I am SO jealous that you can do that!!

    My rates at the moment are $5.99/$10.99. Since I majorly upped them, I am making WAAAAY more money - although I spend far less of my time in paid chat. Went from around 75% to around 30-50% of my time in paid - and frankly, I prefer it that way! I find it less physically exhausting.

    Side note - I was about to type "atm" for "at the moment"...but I just CAN'T anymore!! It reads "ass to mouth"...gaaah! Camgirl brain!

    Lol it's not that impressive My main site is rather slow but when I do get privates they are generally long and I make a good rate so it works for me. Free chat, though? Boring as hell, especially as I am not allowed to play music. Normally I am browsing 9gag, facebook, sw, etc. while in free chat. The guys there don't really engage much so when I try to talk to them and they just like to sit and lurk in free like creepers I pretty much forget about them. I definitely don't interact with them as much as I would on, say, SM or MFC so I guess that's why it's easier for me to cam for longer? I definitely have to force myself to be patient and not log out but it's getting easier now that I've found fun things to do that don't take up to much of my attention.
