    Default is $50 a day do-able?

    EDIT: I wasn't sure if this should go in dollerden or not, since it's primarily camgirl related. sorry if i'm all wrong!
    hello!
    some of you know this from my previous thread, but i'm moving out due to a potentially unhealthy atmosphere with parents. (constantly worried that they'll find out and disown me, and not being able to work fully.) I figured it was in my best interest to get established and be on my own so that being disowned wouldn't leave me homeless and what not.

    So! I have a question for you lovely ladies.
    I am currently figuring out budgeting and concluded that $50 a day camming would land with with $1,400 a month living expenses which would basically mean I could have reasonable savings, pay rent, and keep my head above water.

    I just wanted to ask you all, because you're more experienced, that if I really keep at it (as in come on every couple of hours and try again, and keep a dedicated schedule, and really dive into everything) if at least $50 a day is realistic. I'd be putting a lot of effort into it, as much as it took. However, I am a non nude model because my boyfriend has issues with me getting naked. I do A LOT of sexual stuff though. Including taboo role play (I take it to a skype call, because it's against MFC's rules to do it apparently.) and going down on my big fake dildo, and flaunting in my underwear, and orgasming. I've been able to make decent money by doing things half hearted. Like, I charge 500tk for a 30 minute skype call and since i'm so sexual, have been able to book some and get a couple of regulars.

    I'm hoping it's all about dedication, effort and mindset. I just wanted to pick a penny for your thoughts.

    Thank you for any feedback!

    Yes, 50 a day is totally doable. Even as non nude. In your own home, you can be online more than at your folks. You will do fine.

    I agree. $50 a day is definitely doable!

    I do worry that $50 won't be enough to live off of since you do have to pay taxes on that money and don't get to keep it all.

    I'll be putting $300 a month to taxes and thought that would be enough. D:

    I'm in the UK, but here I need to put 45% away for taxes and student loan (35% without the student loan). It's super important to check what your taxes will be. Other than that, you will make $50 a day

    JW...if we see models earn as much as $1,000 per day...why do we question if anything less than that doable?

    ^^If we don't read the information available to us, then we don't have the answers we need

    I don't know how anyone could live on ($1400 minus taxes =) $980/month, but maybe there are some places where rent is seriously cheap. And if you have no cell phone bill, utilities included in rent, no credit card or student loan payments, and no car payment... then I suppose it's possible.

    If you've never lived on your own, it's very easy to overlook the small things that add up fast. Internet, phone, car, gasoline, electric, gas, taxes, rent, groceries, toiletries, camming items. It adds up.

    I really hope you are able to move out, but just know what you're getting into, and make sure you're willing to work as much as you need to in order to pay bills.

    It should be... however last week I had a night where I made $12.... and this week I'm back to at least $100 a day. Best thing to do is cast a wide net and try it out. And $50 a day seems very low for someone to live on IMO.

    What I mean is, $50 a day is only $1500/ month. And you said living expenses are $1400? I mean it is doable, but seems like a tight budget.

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. I really appreciate it. I'll try and work it to 100 a day. and if not, i'll grab myself a side job.

    If $50 is all you are aiming for then there are probably less risky and less demoralizing ways of getting it. Aim higher! x

    I don't mean to preach to you but if you stop living up to others expectations (your parents, your boyfriend) you can easily pull in 3-4 times more than that. Especially since you're naturally sexual and enjoy what you do.

    Thank you!
    Money is not the main reason i'm doing this- it's more so dealing with bipolar disorder meets chronic pain meets an inability to keep an okay sleep schedule. I also find this job to not be demoralizing for me! I really enjoy my time and make sure if anyone disrespects me I click that ban button.

    The things that this job offers me are really super beneficial to me as far as dealing with my various problems goes. And I enjoy it a lot. I'm of course aiming for more- but I wanted to make sure that bare minimum would at least keep a roof over my head.

    Thank you so much. That's always a really inspiring thing to hear.
    I wish I had the courage right now! Maintaining a healthy relationship while doing this can be really hard.
    Hopefully it won't come down to survival meets going nude. Of course, if it does, I will prioritize survival over the approval/comfort of my boyfriend.
    But I still try to respect his boundaries. It's such a hard thing to try and balance.

    Not everyone finds camming demoralizing though. And if someone did find it demoralizing, I'm not sure more money is worth that. If camming seriously makes you feel bad on a soul level, it's not worth 200/300/500 a day.

    The same thing can be said about non-camming jobs too. (*grins*)

    Was thinking the bold as well. @Princess I gather from your post that you're only on MFC. I wouldn't put on your eggs in 1 basket, I'd branch out more. I'd try Streamates, spiltcamming, MyGirlFund, and Clips4sales along with still working on MFC. Working all those sites consistently will def generate more then $50 a day.

    As Susie is a cam vet of at least as many years as I am, I don't think she means the "To debase the morals of; corrupt" definition of demoralizing. I read her post to mean the, "To undermine the confidence or morale of; dishearten" definition. Camming isn't *always* demoralizing in that way, but it certainly can be. I know it's changed my point of view, especially on men. Personally this isn't a bad thing and it hasn't made me a "man-hater" but has made me more aware of the depth of behavior across the male gender and in a specific man on his own in different situations. To some other girls though, the perspective we gain camming can be temporarily or permanently shattering.

    Camming isn't for everyone, and I've got to say that if someone told me that she was able to work a 9-5 job and planned to instead sink those hours into camming and earn $50/day (6.25 hr before tax removed) I would advise her to go do something else. There are other ways to earn better wages and not risk being outed as a sex worker and therefore tainted in the public eye. In the OP's specific case, she'd also be tainted in the eyes of her family and boyfriend. Particularly in the case of the former, this is a big deal, at least if having a pleasant, non-confrontational relationship with one's family of origin is important to the person "risking" that relationship.

    Also this again:

    I just used the advanced search function and went through all 14 pages that show up when you search, "non nude" and culled out the things that are actually relevant. I bring you, the definitive list of non-nude camming threads!

    ...I didn't separate them into rough topics like I usually do. I don't love y'all THAT much.
