    Agent?? Is she a pornstar or something? Good for them for making that much especially on LJ. I thought about signing up but I read alot(to many) negatives. Plus there layout really erks me. Anyone that works on that site deserves to make $34,000 a month.

    Does anyone else feel lIke some major details are missing from this article?? lol. I have learned from experience whenever someone at the club or a cam girls says I make "add large amount here" and only work "ridiculously low amount of hours here" there are huge details being left out. For example some girls have a whale that send them most of that money or that they work 18 hours a day. I don't buy the "just two to three days a week". I feel like they really mean is they worked 72 hours in one week which roughly equals 3 days technically =p There is one girl I can think of on SM that makes $700/30 min gold shows a couple times a day. The catch? Its an extreme 30 min toy show. But if you ask someone trying write a good story on cam girls they will say she makes $700 in 30 minutes! Whoah! She just turns on her cam and the money rolls right in!
    I have had some amazing month so I don't doubt this is possible at all. Hell the top earners on MFC make that and then some. I just feel like they are simplifying this A LOT. I'm not a huge fan of people that believe we do little to nothing and making thousands of dollars a day. We work hard to make that money. Promotion, experience, and sometimes long hours. Yes we make great money but being an independent contractor means we do a lot more then the average person. We are internet experts, computer experts, photographers, video editors, graphic designers, marketing managers, masturbating experts, well versed fetish extraordinaires, actors, the list goes on.....These kind of articles are breeding grounds for stupid ass comments like the one Smurfette quoted. Do we even pay taxes on it?? Lol why don't your research it before you start going on a witch hunt for tax money you douche

    Ok I'm done with my rant lol
    Good for those girls though. They are clearly working their behinds off and deserve due credit. They have the work ethic I wish I had! I start getting moody after 2 hours and lose patience at 2.5 hours lol.

    No I understand where you are coming from. But I'm only 23.. I don't really have real friends (because those friends dumped me when I started stripping 5 years ago), nor do I have much family. I want to be done in 7 more years. And I'm gonna be the boss when I turn 30... I love this industry, but fucking myself on cam is not my end goal, LOL...

    I have no debt, and my house, cars, and college education was paid for by this industry (and my inheritance) and following my game plan..

    And more importantly, I have reasons why I won't be able to do this forever, and if those reasons were known, everyone would understand why my shelf life is pretty short... (of course, public forum, so I can't go into those reasons).

    Over time, I won't be putting in 16 hours a day, because I have a slow plan that will allow me to make much more in much less time. I invest and save what I have...

    My dad did very well, but he worked until the day he died (well before his time)--and he didn't really hit "success" per se, until he was in his 40s.

    It taught me to do everything I can while I'm still young and healthy because as you stated, we don't know what tomorrow brings. But I will tell you this... I do enjoy myself. I love making money, not for the sake of money, but because I lack for nothing, and money doesn't stress me out a single day in my life.

    I'm seriously about as happy as a person as one can be. I came up with a goal when I graduated high school, and I've stuck with it. I don't regret a single second of my life, nor would I do it any other way. If I didn't do everything I can to become successful when I'm young, I know I'd regret it later in life. And once you've taken that path, you can't take it back--we only get the chance to live once, and I intend on spending my 20s making a mountain of cash, that way when I'm in my 30s, I can sit back a bit and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

    Be careful with that mindset. It can really, really hurt you. After all, you don't take the money with you. You can't buy friends, or loved ones, or good relationships with family. It's a cliche, but it is true - money won't buy you happiness.

    I offer up the example of my mum, who is a good, and fairly typical Scottish woman, who considers money something to be saved, not spent, and who spent her entire life working her ass off, not spending, saving away - all so that one day, she could retire with her husband, enjoy all the money they had worked so hard for, and relax and spend it. She had plans to re-build her dream home, get a personal trainer, enjoy life to the absolute fullest. And what happened? Her husband left her. In fact, he left her because he got so tired of being with someone who was always saving for the future, and couldn't just relax and enjoy the now. There are other things, of course, but the great irony of it all is that he got most of the money that SHE had worked so hard to save, and the golden days that she had spent 30years working for were lost.

    Or, another example - a friend of mine from high school. Another lovely girl, but one who was all about saving it up - working your fingers to the bone NOW and then enjoying the rewards later. She basically didn't have a social life through high school, because she was working on her grades. Then she went to university, and basically did the same thing. She busted her ass to become a lawyer, and basically put her life on hold until she could become one. Then, a year or so after she actually qualified and started working - she got cancer. Luckily, amazingly, she pulled through, but she nearly died before she could enjoy the life she worked so hard for.

    At the end of the day, I think that it can be too easy to say that you will work like mad, and then enjoy it all "later", but the risk is that there won't BE a later. There has to be a balance - a way to push yourself, and to work hard and make enough to build good savings - and to spend smart - finding ways to enjoy life without being a total wastrel.

    I wonder about these girls who are earning 10K a week, but working 7days a week, for 15-20 hours. Not just in this industry - I feel kind of sad thinking about ANYONE working ANY job that many hours. I mean - you work 16 hours a day, and basically have time to have a quick bite and a short sleep...and that is IT.

    Would I love to make 32K in a week? Of course! Would I ever think it was worth losing time with my friends, my family, my animals, my health, or just enjoying the world? Nope. Not even if I said "I'll do this for 6months and then take 3 years off on the proceeds"...because I've had my own brushes with death, and I know that you can't count on 6months from now happening.

    That sounds really negative - oops. It's not meant to be. I guess I just wanted to say that, well, money really isn't that important. And putting your life on hold to earn enough for "later" can bite you in the ass.

    Enjoy your life NOW - earn enough to make you happy, and don't make your job your entire life! There is so much more exciting stuff out there than just working away all day every day for money.

    I always wonder if that would work, y'know? I feel like in this industry, you would have to work for a while to build up to that kind of earnings, and then if you stopped after 2months, you would lose all your regulars and have to start again from scratch...

    So instead of it being work two months, make 70K, take ten months off, repeat...you would have a situation of working 3-4months to build up to that level, THEN 2months of making insane amounts, then 6months off....and frankly, the idea of starting over from the bottom would just kill me. Ugh ugh ugh. I would rather work 12 months a year with good placement and regs, than work 5 months starting from the bottom again.

    But yeah, if it worked that way, I would totally do it! There are times where I kick myself for how stupidly I dealt with money as a dancer years ago. I COULD have gone in cold, worked 3months, made 100K and taken the rest of the year off! Ah well...hindsight is 20/20..

    I see what you mean and I'm curious as well. It would be great for a occasional cammer like me. I do wonder if it would work as you'd have the "new girl" touch each time for new sign ups. I wonder if regulars would fall off too much because you'll still have your great reviews which would give you a leg up.

    Technicality, but if you had the "new girl" for being a new sign up, you wouldn't have any reviews on the same site. Also, some sites (like MFC) don't LET you repeatedly sign up, so you would have to keep going with a profile that hadn't been touched for 6months or more. On order to get the "new girl" tag, you would have to basically sign up for a new site each year, work half the year, take half the year off. So you would be starting from scratch, unless you were able to transfer custys through social media, website, etc etc...which would also die if you didn't touch them for 6months or more of the year.

    Not saying it isn't possible - I know tempting was making a bit of a joke, anyway! Just that it isn't a practical plan for this industry, given the work you have to put in to build up followers/regulars/placement.

    No, I said new girl "touch" for new sign ups aka new members who hadn't seen you at all before. I took a lonnnngggg hiatus and I still have my reviews from 10' and I still get a ton of new guys coming in and asking if I'm new and buying shows. I'm also seeing old members from NF and other sites picking up where they left off.

    It sounds to good to be true but it's possible. If their averaging $75+ an hour 16 hours a day, they'd make $33,600+ a month. Of course they'd have to be banking every day for this to happen.

    True, but if they really are popular girls, then they are probably making more than $75/hour. To make $33k+ in a month, that's only $1100/day. I mean, yeah it would take a lot of work, but it's not an unfathomable amount of money. On MFC alone, I have friends who average over $200/hour. I can't seem to do that over at MFC (well, I rarely ever log on there anymore anyway), but it's certainly possible if you buildup a loyal and dedicated following no matter what site you are on.

    When I'm camming, selling photos, videos, etc, I far exceed $75/hour. But, most of my time working isn't on cam anyway, but on communication. I answer hundreds and hundreds of emails and messages every day. I actually write back every person who messages me every single day (well, sometimes there are too many messages to answer in a day and they spill over into the next day's load of work). I know not everyone is willing or even able to do that, but it's the little things like that that make a huge difference in your ability to make 5-figures a month (or whatever your goal might be).

    My point to all this is simply that anyone can achieve whatever financial goal they have if they are willing to put in the dedication and work to get there. Some simply people use camming as a part-time or bonus income situation, and that's definitely a great thing... others want to strike it rich, and it's absolutely positively within reach to do just that if your heart so desires.

    For me it would be easy to just sit back and not say anything, but, for me, I want every other girl to exceed their needs, wants, and expectations. This business is HUGE.. and the customer base is huge as well. The adult industry continues to change, but it also continues to grow. And each girls' success in this industry is dependent upon the ability to shift to those changes and also putting in a lot of hard work to achieve their own financial goals.

    And I want to make sure everyone also understands that this isn't a fantasy goal or an unrealistic expectation. It's all very real and obtainable. Heck, why not make it $50,000 a month or even $100,000? No one can stop any of you except yourself (yeah I know, real cliche, LOL) But it's absolutely positively 100% true. GO GET THAT MONEY, GIRLS!

    She is on most popular page on live jasmin. Always on the top. Well, there is one thing which helps her work 16hrs every day and that is a glass of whisky. To be honest if I could drink alcohol I would do it too.

    The article never mentions her working long hours - it says she works 4 to 5 nights a week, and another host it said 4 hours a day.

    It's odd to me though - I can not find that host's name that was mentioned in the article on LJ at all.
