It's really hard to get a good idea of how you are doing with figure out of context...How long have you been camming? How many hours a week/day are you putting in? How regular are your hours? What do you WANT to be making?
Bear in mind that it will take some time to get used to it - you say that your camscore went from the 700s to 200 in three days - was that three days consecutively? If that is indicative of how much it has been dropping, that sounds like you have only been on there for a week or two...
In any case - here is my advice. Research, plan, execute, evaluate.
1. Do as much research as you physically can. Watch, read, think, consider. Write yourself up a schedule, a plan for marketing, a plan for games/goldshows/hours/etc.
2. Figure out what you need to make, and how long you are willing to give it before you need to get another job. I personally think that a month is a reasonable amount of time, but it will depend on your financial situation.
3. Work your plan. No excuses. Keep researching, keep tweaking (keyword - TWEAKING - don't go madly different, but alter lighting, outfits, etc within reason as you learn more. Try new games or approaches. Don't alter your hours TOO much after the first week or so, or you will find it harder to build regulars).
4. Assess. After four weeks (or however long you give yourself), look at how you did. Did you make the money you wanted? If no, were you close? If not, are you increasing your earnings week-to-week? If it continues that way, will you be making enough soon eough to survive on it? Don't just look at money, but also look at the rest of your life around camming. Were you able to stick to your schedule, or did you feel like you were flailing and struggling? Did you feel like you enjoyed it and were happy, or were you miserable? How did it feel working from home? Were you lonely, or did you enjoy the solitude?
Take a serious stock of things.
And then..well, if you aren't happy, or you aren't making the money you need to be...stop. We LOVE to encourage new girls here, but at the same time, this isn't for everyone, and there is no reason to plug away for months and months on end to make peanuts, if you would be happier and better off working as a bartender somewhere! You need to be able to make money and be happy - it doesn't sound like you are either right now.
Good luck!
