    Default How to prevent burn out and avoid hating cam?????

    I'm super new to camming (like days new)so I'm all too happy to cam. I wake up, I get all dolled up, walk up the block( I live with my family so I rented a room one block over to cam at) to get paid to talk to a guy who cant stop telling me how sexy I am or to F myself. To me this is the best thing since slice bread. When I'm on cam I find myself working 8-10 straight hours and I honestly get excited before going on cam, its compliment's and money, how could I not? However I worry about one day waking up and being burnt out from working all the 10hour shifts and just wanting to quit cos some asshole said my earlobe was fat. Am I the only one who thinks or worries about this? Are you doing anything to prevent or bring your self out of currently or at one time feeling this way?

    I get burnt out from camming when I stop camming for days... It sounds weird, but I won't want to go back on and I'll make excuses... I'll feel bitter when thinking about putting on my whore make up and I'll get lazy. I'll start to think it's the absolute last thing I want to do. However, when I am continuously routinely camming, even for like an hour some nights, I don't get burnt out. For me a way to avoid burnout is to be consistent but not overdo it, and never miss more than 2 days in a row.

    Also, be careful not to make it something you HAVE to do suddenly. Be consistent and save money, so if you do take time off, you don't have to get back into it suddenly trying to pay a bill. It can cause resentment. It's great pressure to have to cam to pay bills and reach your goals.. but it is not fun during a long haitus from camming to be like, OH CRAP, I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO COVER THIS EMERGENCY BILL, and have to rush back into it.

    Definitely be sensible about your money - there is something wonderfully liberating about watching money roll in when you know it is just for spending/saving, and something miserable about trying to slog through a shift that you HAVE to do to make rent.

    Other than that - GRATITUDE!! I cannot emphasize how important this has been in my life - keep a gratitude journal - find joys in new and different things each day that you cam, stay away from negative threads, truly appreciate and try to connect with your good customers.

    And try not to worry too much! Like my gran says "Don't go borrowing trouble, the interest rate is too high!"
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    I was going to make a new thread (just now), but saw this one. Sorry if this is kind of a thread jack.

    Just a few minutes ago, I was in a new camgirl's room. She was venting about her troubles and her problems with camming. I wish she didn't do it online for her sake. If it was a hustle to get a white knight, I hope it worked (more power to ya girl). I did agree with some of her ranting though. Without saying too much (not trying to out her), camming is not for everybody. However, some people gotta make a living where they can.

    Anyways, it reminded me of when I had a great awakening about camming. I no longer liked the job. I liked it the first year and a half of doing it. Then a few months ago I was honest with myself. I didn't like camming anymore. Couldn't stand it. It wasn't burn out either. Camming just became a mundane, stupid job. Honestly, I loved my honesty. I went to work the next day and felt at peace with it. I hate the job, but love the money. After a few weeks with that attitude, which in fact worked for my advantage, I began to knock more activities off my "what I do in private list." These were things I am now annoyed with doing in private (like role playing). What did I find out? I still make the same amount of money and it's growing. Maybe because of the confidence. Maybe because even though I am a pseudo actress, I'm still able to be myself without compromise.

    Just be honest with yourself every step of the way, and roll on from there.

    I get burnout weekly. Because I powercam nonstop for a few days straight, make all my money, then hit a wall and don't move off the couch the rest of the week.
    But longterm burnout? Idk my problem is that I'm a workaholic. And I truly love this job. As to avoid the ramifications of before my hiatus, I spend as little time actually live on cam as possible. Maybe 15 hours a week.

    I fill up the other hours with content content content. I can be left to myself, do the types of clips (types of "shows") I want to do when I want to do it, not worry about someone on the other end as I'm doing it, watch it make money while I sleep, it does me all sorts of good. Content is where it's at.

    Plus I'm with an adult entertainment company that owns a franchise of fetish websites and I make videos for them for pretty good $$ and that takes care of a nice chunk of my income. They give me the plot, I make it when I feel like it, send a heavily watermarked sample, get the money in my payoneer account usually minutes later, and send the video on its way.
    So my answer to not burning out on cam is...not camming.
    Gee. I'm helpful.

    I have to be honest, and say that I really think that this is NOT a good attitude to have if you want to keep camming long term. If it works for you, then all power to ya. But for me, I find that an attitude of "fine. I hate it but I'll do it anyway" just spirals into negative thinking...and that ain't good.
    I think you may already be starting to see this happen - you go from liking some things, to telling yourself it is boring and mundane, but you'll do it anyway, to telling yourself that you will stop doing x acts, to telling yourself that you will do the bare minumum....and then ending up sitting on cam for the bare minimum hours that you will allow yourself, generally being miserable and wanting to log off. The guys can tell, you start making less, you start hating it MORE...and the cycle goes on until you are living paycheck to paycheck, miserable.

    If I decided that I wasn't burnt out, and HONESTLY could not enjoy camming at all - I would quit. Obviously not in an instant - there are bills to pay, after all!! But I would look for something else and transition out asap. Life is too short to do something you don't enjoy.

    And it may well BE burnout. When I quit dancing a couple of years ago, I was sure it wasn't really burnout, that I was just done with it. I had danced on and off for six years, I was dragging my ass to work, lost my mojo, the whole negative cycle that I described earlier. I was convinced it wasn't burnout, and I was DONE. Then, well, I started to miss it. I started saying that I would go back if I could go to a new club, that maybe I just was burned out. After life stepped in and created a situation where I NEEDED fast cash, I went back to the same club. And love it. I am SO happy to be back, and what I thought was me done, was just burnout after all.

    Slight threadjack, but still...hopefully relevant!!
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    Your reply really made me think.. if one feels burnt out.. she doesn't HAVE to force herself to cam further. The money is tempting, but not everyone is cut out for this job long term.. and that's totally okay! You are not weak if you decide you don't want to cam anymore.

    Sidenote: I also hate roleplaying, and straight up tell guys I am a novice at roleplaying.

    To help avoid cam burnout for me, I work on clip sales or spend more time on MyGirlFund. It changes things up nicely for me and it's good for me to feel that I'm not 100% bound to camming for my entire income if I don't feel like getting on cam and entertaining live. As much as I love camming, the energy and effort that I put into trying to be as good an entertainer as I can be, can take a lot out of me, so it's good to swap things up.

    Gee. I'm helpful.
    Actually, that was very helpful. I am a workaholic as well but there are only so many hours in the week I can be effective on cam. Dyslexia takes over and I'm telling guys I want to fuck their juicy cunts and hitting refresh on the streaming page instead of the other browser to check my placement. Hey, where'd I go? (That just happened, LOL! It's the end of my work week, phew.)

    Lately I am working double time to get my content going and I've been trying to envision a scenario where I am splitting time between both. Honestly, after working on video editing for a day or two, I am happy to be back on cam where I don't have to wrestle files and encodings. And vice versa–I get tons of ideas for new clips while camming, either through chat requests or just browsing forums if it's slow then I can't wait to start filming again!

    What you described is a great fit of the two, and it definitely is inspiring to hear how you're doing it.

    Thank u for this Now i've got my motivation for today! Because everything i make this week is going into savings, well everything but my car payment! Good Advice because ur right it DOES suck to get on there and hustle just to give it all up for bills but if ur caught up u can have fun and just hustle even harder!
    And i just started writing on a dry erase board that is close to my cam. I put daily goals up X amount of $/X amount of hours. that way i know im making the most of my time there. And also just making a daily game plan on the things i want to improve on. Then i go online with a plan and it's really helping for motivation and focus while online.

    THIS^^^ I am SO fucking burnt out its crazy. My husband keeps wanting to go places... take the kids away for the half term holidays.. go out shopping somewhere... go 4 a weekend trip. all the fucking time, and whenever Iget back I just dont want to cam. It's like lazyness but its not lazyness cos im sat at the computer in my cam room with my lighting done but i just dont want to put on my wig and be dissapointed when no1 tips me. If I cam everyday for ages I have no problems.

    I thought of another thing while I was talking to a custy today...Having regulars, that you actually build friendships with and look forward to signing on and having fun talking to and hanging out with. You gotta be careful, as to not get a room of freeloaders and beggars but back before my hiatus I had the BEST regulars who were always there waiting for me to sign on, that tipped and bought shows and contributed to the flow of the room, and were really just cool guys to hang out with. A couple of them I would truly consider "friends". Even if it's just on a professional level. Putting time into building a good following, and having that as something to look forward to every night, really helps with wanting to log on and keep going.

    I am burned to a crisp right now.

    But, I don't hate camming.

    I hate being at the mercy of the income roller-coaster ride that comes with camming. To me, there is a major difference.

    So my advice is that you first need to figure out if you hate camming itself or you hate being at the mercy of having to cam since you will need two different sets of solutions since they are two completely different problems.

    ^^^ I have other hobbies too that I have been ignoring because of camming. I also want to lose 10lbs, so I need to spend less time in my office/work area and more out moving and about. I'm only working 8-12 hours a week as it is, in the $500 club here, sometime less...but this is just supplemental income..and yup, it's WAY better than working $7-$10/hour for 40 hours a week. I get to spend more time with loved ones too. I LOVE camming though, especially if all the guys were as nice and respectful about it as half of them. The rest of the jerks though, I'm sure we could all do without their neanderthal/"john" attitude! That would bring anyone down..seriously, these guys should try getting on cam and having a bunch of rude ass men fawning over them, telling them do "do this, do that..it's YOUR job to entertain me"..(not for free though!)

    You better preach! Poverty comes in many forms but poverty of the soul is the worst kind. I can totally relate to what you're saying. I feel like I'm too focused and obsessed with camming and how much I should be making that it's starting to make me feel a bit in inadequate!

Sometimes I feel like I'm slipping into poverty. It creates an awful spiral of fail and burnout. Then I realize that I've only made $300 because I've only worked 8 hours. Then I realize that a lot of Americans make $300 in 40 hours.

    Yesterday, when I was watching a Stephen Hawking documentary and I cried my eyes out...that's when I knew I have to take it easier for a while! I was like: OMG, the cosmos, the physics, it's so...BEAUTIFUL!! This guy is so...INTELLIGENT!!
    So I knew I worked too much. Again.

    I burn out easily and I have to force myself to take it easy for a day or two. I get in work mode and I can't get out I'm terrible, because when I take some time out for myself, I feel bad and feel like I'm not working hard enough and I won't make money when I get back; that I'm missing out on money. I have no idea how to change this though! I'm in a constant cycle of working too much - burning out - taking some days off - feeling guilty - working too much. At least I recognize the signs now.

    I try and do other adult work things on AW as well, instead of JUST camming (though I do camming the most), to make things more interesting.
    I do PSO work as well, and sometimes I can't be arsed getting all make-uped and so on so I just go on DirectIM instead.
    I make personal videos sometimes for people who have requested them, so that's a bit different.
    And I'm thinking of writing some erotica and putting it up on AW - I love writing.

    So yeah...I mix it up a bit.

    Being camburnt is horrible. I don't know, I space out my day so I spend as little time on cam as possible.
    Like, I'll work from 10-12 pm, stop for two hours. Then work 2-3. Stop again. Pick it up again around 6 am.
    It's just..better that way. Keeps you in work mode while taking breaks.
    Oh, and browsing through cams is always fun, too.
