    Default Monetary Goal Setting

    So many of us have monthly or weekly goals. I'm just curious if you bbs find you do better when you work like 8-10 hours a day a couple times per week, a couple hours each day 7 days a week, or something in between. I also realize many of you do not do goals at all or have restrictions.

    I'm restricted to certain hours...I don't have a monetary goal because I can only cam weekdays from around 10am to 3pm. I can hope to earn a certain amount but I can't keep camming until I reach it, so I aim to work as much as I can within the limits I have.

    Workaholic here so I works A-LOT! Been that way well before I "officially" got into sex work ( always had some SD's on the side since 16 yrs old even with my non-sex jobs) But because I worked a ton before sex work it just transferred over when I got to sex work. Just like vanilla jobs I would rape the time clock clocking hours and doing numbers, same here. It's a fun game to watch money add up with hours. lol
    I sleep mostly 5 hours, tho I do catch up on my sleep sometimes and get a full 8 hours in some days. Rarely sleep past 8 tho.

    I work daily majority of the time. I just try to work the hours I have planned to work without a monetary goal anymore since commission base jobs are semi unpredictable and with just working enough it will add up. Rarely I only work 4 hours, a lot of times 8-12 hours , and sometimes I do 16 hours +. Just depending on my energy and mood levels. I do a few things online to make money besides Cam but even with just cam I put in a s#$% ton of hours as well.

    I just do it until I get to the end of my fuel in which I may slow down and only work a little bit daily until I feel rested enough to go hard again.

    Personally, I find I do better no matter what with the more hours I work period. Every time I am working is the chance to earn an extra $1. lol

    Same here, i find that just putting in the hours with as many lucrative income streams as possible is what does it for me.

    I have a different goal for each day of the week, and it's a cumulative goal, so doing exceptionally well the day before leads to less time on the next day or a day off.

    Default Re: Monetary Goal Setting

    Right now it's odd for me. I'm scheduled as a maybe on 4 days a week, but never work all 4. And I'm happy just having extra cash, however little it may be. However, once February comes, I'm officially back to work. But I'll have a small weekly goal since I'll be back to dancing on weekends too. I have no doubts that it's an attainable goal since I'm already hitting it with barely trying. I would prefer that I actually make my goal camming and be able to use my dancing money as my play money though. My cam checks go directly to the bank and with the dancing money I can deposit my taxes out of it, but still always have cash on hand without going to ATM all the time.

    Besides, I'm a lazy and short tempered person. I love when I make a lot on the first day, that way I can log off whenever I feel like it the other days.

    I work four days a week, six to seven hours a day with a weekly goal. My weekly goal isn't much, simply that of what I was making weekly in my vanilla, slightly above min-wage job. I know I need that much to at least survive. I'll usually make it by day two or day three, so day four is simply extra $$$ in the bank. But I also have a wonderful guy, who knows that if I need to work more hours to make it (hasn't happened yet), or if I want to work more to save for something - say, a vacation - I'm going to. I like that flexibility and knowing I have those options.

    Default Re: Monetary Goal Setting

    My system is similar to Jess's, I have a weekly/monthly goal that I then break down into daily goals. At the end of each day I recalculate how much more I need to make my weekly and then set a new daily goal every day. This way if I have an awesome day I can work a bit less the next few days, and if I have a slow day I can work a bit harder the next few days.

    I prefer setting smaller goals and working more days, ideally 7 days/week. It takes the pressure off and I'm more likely to log in consistently that way. Plus, then I have free time every single day after I've reached my goal as opposed to some days all off and others all working.

    I aim for 5 days per week with moderate goals. So if I want $2000, I divide it by 5 and aim for $400/day.

    I'm in school full-time til this summer, so I kind of cam whenever my schedule allows. But also, I find that if I'm not "in the mood" (i.e. if I'm feeling fat or not-sexy) the guys can tell, and I don't do so great on those nights. Unless rent is coming due, then I make myself hit at least 800 for the week.... hate those weeks though.

    I don't work everyday, but theorytically I have a low and a high goal for the days I work. Recently I developed my own retarded method to make it easier reaching my goals. It's the miracle of "round" numbers.

    I can't stop myself, I check my earnings after every single private show, so lately I'm making my goals in small steps. Like I made 23,48$? Okay, let's make it to 30$. Then I end up with 36.78$? Cmon, let's make it 40$. Oh it's 57$ already? Let's make 60$ out of it! etc

    I figured I like this method no matter if it's slow or back-to-back privates.

    If I'm on SM I keep an eye on the encoder to see how long I've been working. And even if I'm fine with my goals, I only log off if the timer shows x hour(s) or x hour(s) 30 minutes depends which one is closer.

    It fails if I get really pissed or in a really bad mood, but I still find this very useful for me. Too big or too "long-term" goals are not working for me. I end up procrastinating and/or looking at them as too big, impossible, i cannot make it etc.

    I have a "per day" goal that I aim for. If I achieve it but still feel like working, I just carry it over onto the next day (or the day after that, etc).
    That way, if I don't feel like working one day, I can take a quick look at whether or not I can "afford" to take time off! I really am a bit of a workaholic though, so more often than not I just carry over and keep going.

    I was never a monetary goal setter because I always felt like that was limiting. I always want AS MUCH AS I CAN GET. As a stripper I never would set daily or weekly or monthly goals, but just went to work each day with the attitude of "I'm taking as much cash as I can out of the club tonight". I would be that girl still out on the floor squeezing out every last dance or VIP time I could possibly get right up until the very last song, while pretty much every other girl was already in the back packing up to go home, and I'd keep going to work on my usual schedule all week/month no matter how much I made. I work the same way now, with the exception that I can log in/out whenever I feel like it instead of being limited by a club's hours of operation.

    So often I see girls make their goals and then slack off the rest of the shift/week/month, when they could be earning so much more if they didn't stop at some arbitrary goal. OR girls get all disappointed if they don't make that silly goal, and that disappointment is a huge DEmotivator; not good.

    I say work smarter, not harder. When the money is flowing, keep on taking as much of it as you can. Then when it's slow you aren't desperately trying to make goal or banging your head against the wall because bills are due and you don't have it - you can instead relax and be happy making whatever you make because you maximized when business was good.

    In my experience this method has made me more money because 1) I'm never desperate and desperation is never sexy and 2) my overall average earning is higher because I'm maximizing those good times instead of working double time to make some silly goal when it's slow.

    Of course we all have schedules and things we have to deal with so it's not always feasible to do a marathon or stay on another 2 hours when the money is flowing. But when you have the time and the energy, keep milking that cow until it runs dry!!! Mooooooooo!!!!

    I don't set monetary goals really, though I should and might start....

    I typically set nightly goals and make them moderately sized. Though, my "moderately" sized goals might be miniscule to the other models on here. I really do need to work more!!! But unfortunately, I can't because i'm a full time student and have a "vanilla" job on the side. So time is stretched very thinly for me to make the goals I want.

    Since how well I earn on cam varies daily, I now set weekly goes so it works best for me. As long as I make my weekly goals than I'm happy and don't feel so bad for those days that I made little to nothing at all.
