    Default Camming over Christmas!

    It's getting to that time of year again!! What are you guys planning to do differently, if anything? Are you taking the xmas holidays off, or working your usual schedule? Do you usually make more money over the holidays, or less?

    In another thread, Sarah mentioned that she switches her payment to FedEx checks after Thanksgiving to balance out the mail delays that always happen this time of year - excellent idea!! If you get a mail check, it might be smart to start doing this, or make sure that your budget allows for the possibility of late checks...of course, if you are not in the US, you would have to switch to a wire or make sure that you can cope with late payment.

    Do you plan to work more in the run up, and take the "big days" (xmas eve, day, boxing day) off entirely?

    Personally, whenever I have worked as a stripper on one of the big days, I have RAKED it in - practically no one works those days, and there are lots of lonely guys that are looking for company. I wasn't camming over the xmas holidays last year - really interested to hear the experiences of anyone who has cammed on the holidays.

    I'm planning on still working the 24-26th, just taking the Sundays off - just like usual. The only difference will be that I am working slightly less hours on each day, and earlier in the morning, in order to spend afternoon/evening with families on both days. I'm also going to be doing christmas-themed shows for those days, and a few running up - cosutmes, etc, just like Halloween.

    What are you guys doing?

    Good thread. I'm interested to see what others have to say, as this is my first year camming around the holidays.

    I'm definitely working Christmas Eve/Christmas/Boxing Day this year, just like I did last year. Not only do I not celebrate but all of my friends and family who do are 2,000 miles away so it's just another day for me. I just looked at my stats from last year and while I didn't record how many hours I worked on those days my earnings were good. Christmas day earnings were a smidge less than what I usually made on Sundays, but still decent. I earned a nice bit on Christmas Eve, and an exceptional amount on Boxing Day. I honestly don't remember how many hours I put in each day last year compared to usual but this year I plan on working as much as possible. Why not? Actually looking at the numbers the entire holiday week was good for me.

    You are absolutely right, my experience was that there were fewer viewers online but far fewer models as well so it settled in my favor. Last year I was working on SM, which is huge and has international appeal. This year I am working on a much smaller site and the majority of my paying viewers are located in the U.S. I am really curious to see how the holidays pan out but I'm not plannng on doing anything differently. Just work work work and let the cards fall where they may.

    Last Christmas I worked extra hours so I could take off the holiday, so I have no idea how the actual holiday days are. I do know that I didn't see any drop in earnings before or after the holidays, so that's a plus.

    This year I'm doing the same... working extra hours so I can take the holiday off. Having 3 kids, it's hard to work the holidays especially Christmas. We go to see family over night the weekend after Christmas as well, so I'll be off then too.

    So at the very least I'll be off the 24th and 25th, and then the 28th and 29th. In reality that will probably translate into the 23rd-31st off LOL so, that's why I work a lot more before the holiday.

    I don't bother with any "themes" on SM... I don't feel like the traffic there gets really into that sort of thing. It's definitely something to do if you are working on MFC but in my experience, SM guys just don't really get too into that stuff. Which sucks, because it can be so fun!
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    I'm totally working through X-Mas and NYE/NY. I didn't really push it, last year but I'm putting in the hours, this year. I don't celebrate either and I'm planning a trip to see my lil Sis, in early January. I want to make as much as possible so I can take a week off, straight. I have had insane X-Mas seasons where I've made killer money so I'm relatively optimistic. NYE/NY always seems a bit slower but oh wells. It never hurts to try and that's the crunch-time, before my trip.

    I will try to do at least a few hours on mfc christmas eve and on boxing day. This is my first year camming so I'm curious to see how it will turn out. I thought maby for the december month I could get a wishlist up, shoot some christmas themed video's and if someone buys something from my wishlist they get the video's.

    Depends on what my family has planned. I'd love to work Xmas eve & Xmas day and I'd rather just spend time with my family on the weekend but I'm not the one who does all the planning.

    I'll also be working NYE day (going out at night) and doubtful I'll make it online new years day for obvious reasons lol.

    I'll be going home for Christmas so I won't really be able to get any hours logged I'm just trying to accomodate for that by logging as many hours and making as much content as I can right now

    Ha - I know the feeling. Luckily, we are only having family here for one day, so I can get up early and cam before they get here....and then we are going out other evenings - it just looks like I'll be having a fairly sober and sleepless xmas season.....

    Holidays even out. Weekends even out. All days even out for the most part. When its a holiday, there will be less camgirls on and less guys on. When its a weekend, there will be more girls on and more guys on. It all evens out. Just work your normal shifts. I will probably work Christmas just because I'm either going to travel before or after that time, but not during.

    I'll probably take off Christmas Eve and Christmas, and watch Xmas movies with my bf. I'll work the rest of the week for sure.

    Last year I didn't work, but this year I plan to. I don't want to feel like I might have missed something! Besides, my son's birthday is a few weeks after Christmas....so I'll take all the money I can get.

    I feel like the longer I'm doing this job the greedier I get. If that means I barely get any sleep over the weekend when my sister's out, so be it! Just give me the money! lol

    I normally do not celebrate holidays.
    My very first day of camming was New Years Eve 2010. I fell in love with it from then on. I said to myself, "WHOA there is something to this"
    When I was a stripper I went in on Thanksgiving and made more money in one night then I did the whole week before. I worked 4 hours this past Thanksgiving and went to dinner. Heck, I even tried to leave so I could get back to it.

    I love working holidays. Even if I am going to celebrate, I get it in where I can fit it in.

    In two weeks from now, kids will be home on Christmas break for like 2 weeks straight. So models who only cam when their kids are in school will have to figure out what they wanna do (maybe hop on cam while your kids are spending time at Grandmom's house?...cam at night instead?).

    From December 22nd til January 2nd or 3rd (?) my son is off from school, which means I'll pretty much be doing all of my camming at night when he's asleep.

    I am going to be working most of the time, this season, I believe..I say that cause I'd like to dance as well, but decent clubs are a pretty long way from me, my knee's been acting up big time so that's a factor.. Also, I've moved & my net connect is much better, my room mates don't care. I have a part time/'some time' regular type of job (they sign ppl up for hours, then tell them not to come in wtf) I'll be picking up a check from that tomorrow, (after taking 2 days off for my move so they may just can me, whatever)
    Thing is, I've cammed in over a year now, so no telling how it'll be, I'll be (I am!) like a newb starting out..
