    Smiley 80 Hours+ A Week on SM

    Hi,

    I'm looking forward to working on SM. I have been in the adult industry before and intend to dedicate a minimum of 80hrs a week to Camming. It's just something that I'm fond of and I was wondering, with Streamate, what would the earning potential be? Also, are there any other girls working that amount of hours that have some advice?

    HAHAH, 5 different clips popped in to my head when I read that. You are absolutely right.

    OP, you do realize that 80hr/week = 12hrs/day EVERYDAY, right?

    80 hours.......don't do that.
    I don't think any girls on her work that many hours... That's over 10 hours a day throughout the week.

    As for potential, what do you plan on your hourly being.. Multiply that by 80.
    I think once you try to work that many hours you will quickly give up due to fatigue and burnout especially on a private based site like SM

    can't think of anything that would make me want to put a bullet in my brain more than a canning 12 hours a day every day. this is a terrible idea for anyone in any profession. it's just not healthy.

    Eh.. What is that quote? "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life"?

    I was going to say "I want in on her secrets!" But her secret probably is that she genuinely loves, loves, loves her work... which is a beautiful thing.
    I say she should make a post about what she loves about her work enough to get her on cam those hours! Could be pretty inspiring stuffs.

    This!! That reminds me to research how to enjoy your job and see if I can get ideas. I want to cam a whole lot more, but I get so stressy.

    I'd suggest OP try this: http://xkcd.com/320/ I'm considering trying it myself. I tried polyphasic sleep schedules in the past and failed, but this looks healthy enough and doable. Anyway, it would give you more time not only to cam, but also more down time so that you don't end up a nervous wreck. My husband suggested it to me, and I'm likely going to try it out sometime in the coming month.

    Yeah but people have different boundaries. What's too much for you might be too little for someone else, and we all have different tolerance levels. Maybe our OP finds ways to even involve eating or even sleeping during her job... One of my fave top girls seems to live on cam, and she's hugely successful (she was also one of the girls who starred in a recent SM advert) because of the voyeur-ish aspect to her stream. And then, when she actually starts paying more attention to the guys, it's like she could hit any GS target she wants because she isn't hustling like a madwoman trying to make her goal. I love it. I do completely understand what you're saying, though for me, if someone genuinely says they're cool working that much - because they love it - they find it enjoyable... I can understand that too and I also think it's awesome that they do that. *shrugs* If she's rocking those hours and enjoys it rather than it eating her soul, I really, really admire that.

    When I first started camming ( the week I turned 18 ) I want to have my own freedom and I love that camming allows me to do that. I tried the whole phone sex thing and that didn't work to much so I pretty much just focused on camming.I didn't know what hours would work best so I tried to figure it out by working as much as I could. I don't have any kids and I'm not in school right now so I just make a schedule of my week. Over the time I've been camming I've gotten into a routine. I will go online in four hour blocks. Most of what I do is just teasing and men really love it. I start taking clothing off only in private chat. I NEVER will let them get any of this honey for free lol. We all work so hard and it doesn't make sense to.

    I'm not a DOM but I tell the men up front that I'm not going to be rushed and that if they want me to fake getting off that I can do that in about 30 seconds. Lol, if they want to see me really enjoy my time with them then I need to work my way up to it. What I've come to realize is that the men that are REGULARS will allow you to enjoy yourself too. It gets them off that much more. There are always going to be men that spend money and then you never hear from them again but my regulars are where I make my living. I am also a night owl. My slowest hours are always 1pm to 5pm. However, If I'm having a really good day, that gives you the energy to keep going lol.

    I'm just a regular girl. I don't promise to give the customers anything except a good time. I find that in this business, if you put in the hours you will make the money.

    How about this. Try it and see if its possible. Its probably not. This job is a lot like manual labor, even if you don't use toys.

    I find it's a mentally draining trying to stay "oh so fucking happy" for 2 or 3 hours at a clip. Almost like energy vampires they are.

    I work marathons if I need money. I just sit there till guys take me private. My boobs do the work. I barely talk to them till the $ starts. I don't smile & shit really. (Shrug) Sometimes I watch tv & whole movies with the cam on. Only stopping the show when I'm in private. That's how I do long shifts.

    The very first time I cammed was for a studio let's say around 6 yrs ago, I worked from Tuesday through Saturday 8 hrs each day with only 30 min lunch and lil bathroom breaks. Damn I was sooooooooo tired it's not even funny Hence I only lasted like 4 months. To me even 8 hrs straight is like so much I wouldn't do it, I would probably turn into the biggest bitch ever and not make any $. You get tired of hearing guys and their stupid comments, bb Paypal? bb show tits? bb this bb that waaaa.

    Okay, I'm awake and on a computer, so let me get a little more into this:

    The ONLY way i can see a 12-hour work day working is if you spent 6 or 7 on cam, and the rest promoting/editing/etc, which I think is what a lot of girls do. I cam about 3 or 4 hours and spend about 4 doing all of the other crap that goes along with this job. Like I said in an earlier post, I'm passionate about ice hockey, punk rock, cooking - lots of stuff - but if I did ANY of those things for 12 hours a day, every day, I'd probably end up jaded in about a week. You need time to live. You need time to rest. You need time to be in your own head.

    I probably have one of the worst financial situations on this board, I desperately need money, but even I won't do 12 hours a day on cam. I hope you take this all o heart.

    I think best is to work as long as u feel good and dont push to the extreme, is great if u love ur job and wanna make great money but at 1st u should love urself more than anything else. While wealth is important the well being is more important in my eyes, every of us function differently but none of us is a super human, we have our physical and mental limits.
    I had a very good cam girl too friend who was really successful and banking on cam but the price she paid for it was big, after many years of intensive work she lost valuable things in live: her health, her husband, me as a friend and not sure what else as she is not camming anymore since a few years.
    She got soo obsessed with work that she lost focus on other important things like relationship with her husband, family, friends, she became antisocial and living like a hermit, eating, going to bathroom, sleeping and working.
    And all these at what cost? Cause now even she might have lots of money they are of no help. Sad but true.
    At the end camming is still just a job even we do it as self employed.
    Let's not be our own slaves.
