    Default Panicking!

    So my main source of income which paid at least my rent is going to be gone in 1 month exactly. I will get paid from them two more times... I am in PANIC MODE. WTF do I do? I def dont make enough camming! I have no idea what I'm going to do! obviously I'm gonna save enough for rent for next month but other than that, I'm VERY screwed. I'm on cam as I'm writing this and making NOTHING. I'm REALLY scared. Any advice? I'm obviously out looking for a vanilla job but it needs to be enough to pay my bills.... No part time sales associate crap, even tho that would help, but... I'm REALLY upset right now.

    It really depends... I mean, are you wanting to do stuff online? HAve you tried doing multiple adult oriented sites at the same time? Example: MFC, SM, MGF, etc, all at once?

    I'm on MGF, I don't make CRAP there (I have no idea why? Maybe I'm not online for cam there enough), I worked SM and MFC at different times today. I am gonna go back to imlive and try there.... I was online for an hour straight on SM and couldn't keep 3 people in my room at the same time, and made nothing. On MFC, I made $2.25 in 45 minutes... I am going to apply at my bf's job on Monday, and hope to God that I get it. But I really want to keep camming & making money too. I do well on C4S, but I can't rely on that throughout the month, as it pays out after the 1st.... And right now I"m not making enough to cover rent. I'm just seriously upset. I had counted on this other source of money for another year and a half, and to have it cut short with a month's notice, AT CHRISTMAS, it just... scary. If I had KNOWN things would be this way, I wouldn't have spent 1k on Christmas presents for my family. I understand it's slow for everyone right not camming, but to make $2 in almost 2 hours on cam is... ridiculous. Maybe someone can coach me, tell me what I'm doing wrong? I was doing fine in October, beginning of Nov, didnt log on for a couple weeks, and now its just awful.

    Hmmm, guys are so fickle it's hard to know what they want at any given moment... I mean, I don't mind dropping by the next time you are online to check it out and give my 2 cents (Whatever that's worth, LOL). I think part of it is that it's the holidays.. yada, yada. I mean, do you have any specialties (if that makes sense).. things that you do to attract guys? I see that you are an alt model, and most girls in the alt world online do pretty well.

    Have you considered applying for vanilla jobs? If you are not making any money on cam, and this other source of income will be gone... it sounds like a good idea to start thinking about other areas of work.

    I'm an alt model & I do a lot of diff fetishes, too, but MFC isn't exactly fetish-oriented, thats why I was doing streamate, and that was working for me for a while, but lately, sm is just god-awful. I'd love any input, or any marketing tips, advice, etc. I have a twitter & a tumblr & I try to promote on there. I'm gonna be trying more for skype shows, even tho I've never done one & be accepting payoneer only cuz I need the money itself. I just need to sit down and make a game-plan at this point, about what I can do. My bf has a job but he only makes $9 an hour full time and we have a lot of other bills, but I think cable might be going here within the next couple days.... :/

    Cut out all bills that are not absolutely necessary. Not sure about your specifics, but eating at home also saves a ton of money too. Do you track your spending so that you know where your money is going? Once I started tracking all my spending on mint.com I found several areas I was able to cut back on or eliminate and have saved hundreds monthly.

    Oh geez, I'm sorry to hear that. Have you thought about doing a girl-girl show? I mean, even if you don't swing that way, you could always fake it. One of my best days ever, a friend of mine and I did a show for two straight days (about 6 hours total) and we both made close to $2500 each. It's not a long term answer, but it could provide some "buzz" to your name and get you more followers, plus some quick bucks that you need.

    That can be a chore, but you never know, there may be girls on here who would be willing? I did them all the time when I was in Alabama, but since I moved to Texas, I haven't done one because I don't know ANYONE in this state.. LOL. But eventually I will, and I'll do another.

    try SM in the early morning like 6am. Its much better then. And an hour straight with no guys? Thats quite common for camming. Sign up for every single site you can and switch when they are dead. I hate split cam so I run 2 laptops on 2 sites or make vids of my privates.
    Sign up for MGF, that can be quick money. It takes time to make $$ camming. It's taken me a year to not have to work as hard as I use to.

    I also didn't know that girl/girl shows could be that lucrative, I see a lez couple on Sm struggling sometimes, but then again, who knows? I only know one camgirl in my area, and she's on a break right now, and she happens to be my FRIEND who I found out casually was a camgirl, so its slightly awkward, lol. But hey, it may be a possibility. I just feel like camming doesn't have the resources to pay my bills right now.

Unfortunately being on opposite coasts makes that a bit difficult. I honestly had no idea girl/girl shows were that lucrative!
    Well, they're not ALWAYS that lucrative.. but I've been lucky to have enough of them to make it worth my while. My first girl-girl show was a total bust. Well, we made like $100 each in 3 hours, but I still felt ripped off for some reason. But, it's like anything, once you get enough practice looking like a porn-movie style lesbian, you do pretty well.. LOL. I like girls off cam as well as on, but the reality of what 2 girls is in real life doesn't have the same appeal to a man who is used to watching two girls scissor in a porn-flick.. LOL

    Maybe since you ha ve a month you could set up ebay auction while you are looking into other options. That could bring in some cash pretty easily with hardly any time investment.

    I've never sold on Ebay, but I don't have a lot to truly sell. I should get back into EBanned and list some things there... Thank you everyone who's responded!
