    I did it (a month straight), and it was like hell. I was doing 9-hour shifts, though. Anyway - taking at least one day off a week would be a good idea, even if you make your shifts like 5 hours long to make up for it.

    You can do anything you set your mind to do. Just set a minimum though because though $30 is attainable an hour, you'll have days where you may not make shit. I would make clips and sell panties and do what I needed to do to make that bank. Also, you mentioned school, is it possible you can use some grant or loan money to help?

    LOL there are downsides such as seclusion. If I dont work I feel lost. Remember I have a teen that needs everything. I am spoiled as well. Days I did not want to work I did. When I had my back injury I worked. Working is a addiction. I guess a good one? Friends get mad bc I put work b4 anything. If I go out, come home get on cam. Vacation, I cam. I slacked off a lot this week but I still cammed. Until Mr Right (fuck me feed me and finance me) comes along I will cam prob every day. I'm scared of being poor bb

    stay away from back breaking jobs where you have to pay money for sitting(child care).(been there done that) You loose more money and time with your kid. School and Cam. YOU CAN DO IT... you will be amazed. I dont want you to cause more stress than needed.

    I'll have to do some marathon like this. Upcoming wedding lots of $$$ needed. I was procrastinating making money for it since August!!!! Now I also ordered The Now Habit, but it looks like someone stole it, it didn't arrive in 3 weeks. I thought I worked so much this week and it was 17 hours only...

    I am just going to echo Fridays & Tempting since I am a workaholic here...LOL

    Working daily, 30 days 8 hours a day is easy for me but it is second nature and I'm use to it. I feel off when I'm not working unless I have something social to do and still even then I am like I can be working. But working 16 hours daily 30 days a week is hard and YES, I have done it..CTFU I guess I am kind of crazy like that, crazy for the moolah! lmao

    I work everyday, but not constantly broadcasting. I work on MFC about 4-5 days a week for 2-3 hours, or more depending on if I'm making money. I do Skype shows everyday though. I have only been averaging 2-3 shows a day, but the more I do it, the more business I am getting. If I am home and on the computer, which 90% of the time, I am, I am responding to instant messages from potential customers, doing a show, or updating profiles, or something to do with work, haha.

    Yes, I have done 30+ days, 8+ hours a day before when I had a goal to reach. It is exhausting but doable, especially when you know you just have to keep it up for a little while and then you can go back to a more normal schedule once you've reached your goal.

    I am also moving at the end of February! So Christmas was my last day off, I've worked every day since then and my sincerest hope is to work every day up until I finally move. Most likely now through February 27th or 28th, depending on when my ISP shuts off my internet and phone.

    I have calculated how much I need to pay my bills and then save for the new apartment and the move on top of that, and I've divided that by how many days I have to make that money. I'm not really aiming to cam for a specific amount of hours a day, but I MUST stay logged on until I reach that goal, and preferable go over it if I am still feeling up to camming. I have a very all or nothing personality, I either want to work all of the time or none of the time, and I know if I take even one day off it will likely snowball into many days off and I cannot afford that right now. Luckily my daily goal is fairly modest so I won't be killing myself every day, just going at a comfortable and steady pace. I've also been investing more time on MGF so on the first couple of days of shark week when I cannot live cam I can keep selling content and exchanging paid messages.

    Consistency really is key, and all of the times I've had to go long stretches without a day off I've found that just being consistent and not pushing for crazy high daily goals has helped me to earn more in the long run. I am so excited you've started this thread, let's work our butts off together bb

    I usually shoot for at least 8 hours a day because my site is slow and privates are few and far between (though they are often long and rack up a lot of $ very quickly when I do get them). I could never put in a full 8 hours on, say, SM or MFC for more than a few days straight, I don't think the body's designed to handle something that demanding for very long. Girl as long as you reach your goal give yourself permission to log out of you are having a slow or bad day, remember you've got to conserve your energy for the long haul. Seriously, preventing burn out is the best way for you to reach your goal of moving.

    Right now I am only $6 away from my daily goal, but it's still early and I still feel good so I will probably cam for a few more hours. However, if I make another $6 and decide to go enjoy the rest of my day I will not feel guilty about it, and you shouldn't either. My advice is definitely not to go crazy with your hours or you'll exhaust yourself unnecessarily, just make your money and be proud of yourself.

    I cannot wait to see how this thread progresses and how we kick butt on reaching our goals! I am also really glad there's someone who has pretty much the same camming goal as me right now.

    I work 8 hours plus a day. MY BIGGEST TIP IS TO BREAK IT UP! I cam in 3-4 hour increments, enough for me to justify slapping on makeup Once your mind is set to work non stop then you have fallen in the depths of being a workaholic.
    Making money is not just being on cam, hustle hustle husssssssssssstle Put your mind in gear first, then the rest will follow.

    *DO NOT LET MONEY CORRUPT SCHOOL ... it can easily be done. Priorities first. (this is a momma voice talking to you)

    Hmm. not sure if I could do 60 days straight, but I'm willing to try a marathon of sorts. Everyone needs a day off, but sometimes it's great to have a lofty goal! It is only short term, that's even better. Honestly, I probably won't make it a whole month. LOL So maybe mine should be 2 separate 30nday marathons. Yeah, that sounds better. So I'm gonna try for 30. When I take a day off, I will reset for another 30. This seems way more realistic, for me at least...

    hmmm....I wonder if you'd be able to set aside one day a week for pre-scheduled skype dates, so after you've been working for a couple of weeks and get your "regulars" then you could start scheduling them on those days, so you know (so long as no one cancels) you can have a short day and still make a certain goal.

    I ended up making $47.48 more than my goal today. It's still fairly early (just before 9pm) but I haven't eaten all day. My plan is to go to the store for a sandwich and a bottle of wine and relax with a good movie before going to bed at a reasonable hour so I'll be refreshed to cam tomorrow. My regular cam shift starts at 9am, btw.

    Somehow this plan makes me feel incredibly guilty. Almost like, I'm not drop dead exhausted yet so why stop camming now??? I came to this thread to remind myself and all of you others doing the 30/60 day camarathon that it is OKAY to take the rest of the night off if you exceed your daily goal! We're doing a camarathon here, we have to conserve our energy!

    Nah, you're just working smarter, not harder. If you feel that bad, have yourself go online for thirty minutes before bedtime in case it's crazy good. Otherwise, schedules are good.

    I so wish I could do a cam-a-thon but I'd have to start small...like 15 days in a row.
    In all seriousness, I have health problems that don't allow me to cam daily. The days I do get to cam I work for as long as I can though.
    I would like to try to cam for 15 days straight and for me that's a start. Perhaps the second portion of January. I have some saving up to do for a number of things and instead of just scraping by I want to actually have savings and not do the paycheck to paycheck thing anymore.

    Here is a good quote on work ethics....“You don’t try to build a wall. You don’t set out and say ‘I’m gonna build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that has ever been built’. You say ‘I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid’. You do this every single day, and soon you have a wall.” ~ Will Smith


    ^ For me working "ALOT!" comes naturally and even I still get exhausted and need to slow down but it did not happen over night either. I started officially working about 15/16 yrs old and begged my parents to let me babysit, rake yards, sell school supply to make money before then so it has been time for me to get use to working so much...

    You have to know yourself and know your limits and push them enough for your own success not to anyone's standards but your own, as long as you are happy and content.

    Tip! Breaks are Great. We are in a position we don't have to work straight through shifts. There are 24 hours in a day, you may sleep on average 8 of those. 16 hours to get in breaks and work time!

    Multiple Incomes: Work is anything that brings you money now and later for your survival. Cam is one part of it, but also Passive earnings too. Plus there are also so many ways online to make money besides just sex work so we can do both. Gives you another break and variety. Then the good thing about 'branding" yourself guys on mainstream sites will Google you and find your indy site to get shows even if you are not actively "trying' to steal traffic, we can benefit from big box cam sites traffic. That is good because now you make money without too much of your energy and efforts on cam or free chat. Then even hustling for indy shows is something you can be relaxed and do...get on your laptop plop on the couch, watch tv a movie, and do some promo work and hustle up some shows... Just find which solutions makes you happiest. Work Smart while still Working Hard! =)

    So I have three different goals in my head to prepare me for my move at the end of February: a bare minimum goal that will only leave me with a couple of hundred bucks in savings after all is said and done (but I'll still have what I need, and that's the main thing), a moderate goal that will leave me a nice chunk in savings when all is said and done, and a "fuck, yeah!" goal that will make me a very wealthy lady. I usually try to make somewhere between my "moderate" and "fuck yeah!" goal. Today it's a holiday and I'm not feeling too well so I'll be happy if I just hit my bare minimum goal. I almost took the day off because I am ahead of schedule earnings-wise, but then I remembered this thread. I love the support on here

    HD, what are some other ways you make money online? I do some ghost writing (articles) and some HITs on Mechanical Turk but it's just for a very little extra, definitely not enough to cover the bills and my hourly average on cam is much higher so I tend to neglect those. Sometimes I work on HITs in free chat when it's slow but it's really just chump change that I make when I'm bored and want to preted like I'm being productive. I've found a couple of manufacturers in China to get some cheap goods wholesale and I plan on starting an ecommerce site once I'm moved and settled; I'll be housing my own inventory so it doesn't make sense to do it now. I'm also trying to get more into affiliate marketing, specifically ClickBank products, but I don't feel that I have too much time to invest in it right now because I'm camming so much. I do have passive income from adult and fetish videos (really need to start updating my c4s store again!) but I'd love some non-adult ideas to make a good side income.

    I won't list all my streams of income or earnings for privacy reasons besides the common ones ~sex work jobs, like cam, content, affiliate marketing, etc and some other things in the works. I have accounts on those places you mentioned above but I rarely touch them if ever in a really long time. My other vanilla jobs, I have to market to get work on them and they are not overnight money makers for real, though they can and can not be lucrative. But here are some places to start off for non sex wahm jobs... These forums alone will keep you busy for job leads and "ideas". The best thing I can say is think outside the box when it comes to ways to make money. There are the obvious ways to make it but then there are less obvious ways that may require more work but when you find it, they will make you money too, if not more down the line. Even sex work besides affiliate marketing, think outside the box for other ways to make money on it without being the "star" of it sort of speak, or the performer.
