    Default kind of freaking out about rent atm help please!!

    So I'm late on rent; and I currently only work on mgf but I'm making steps to starting to cam again. I just bought an awesome computer because both of my laptops broke within the same week...but mgf has been steadily getting slower and slower for me I guess because I only sell content there (can never get cam to work on mgf and honestly most guys seem to just want content there) and pretty much everyone who wanted it bought some, I've talked to 99% of the people there. Traffic just sucks on mgf.. I'm now 5 days late on rent and need to get it in asap. I've just burnt out that site and I'm barely pulling in $40/day when I used to be able to pull in 200 average What can I do?? I'm in the process of signing up for DP on streamate. Any ideas??? I need it in by next week

    (I'm 680 short...)

    Try NiteFlirt, they pay multiple times a week. Ifriends and Naked both also pay weekly.

    I've been there! If you can't make the money in time with camming, I'd see what your other options are.
    1. Talk to your landlord/ management company. Let them know you have every intention of paying and see what they can work out for you. They can sometimes be surprisingly understanding.
    2. See if there is anything you don't need that you can sell on ebay/ craigslist
    3. Ask friends/family, this is something I absolutely hate doing but if it means keeping a roof over my head, I'll give it a try.
    4. Look into doing a title loan on your car. If you straight up own it that is. This has saved my ass before! Then cam like hell to pay it off ASAP.
    There may also be churches and other organizations you can look into if you get very desperate.
    These are some non-adult suggestions that I have. I am sure these ladies will have plenty of other suggestions for you! good luck!!!

    I have had to be late several times on my rent in the past. If you let your landlord know ahead of time, as long as they're a generally understanding person, I don't think a couple of weeks would be a big deal. If you even have a little bit of money to put towards the rent and can give a specific date that you'll have the money by, that should put them at ease. Legally, you should have 1-2 weeks to come up with the money, depending on where you live. If you've been a tenant for a while and are on good terms with your landlord, maybe you can ask if it's alright to pay double next month? As long as it's not a recurring thing, it should be okay.

    I agree with selling a few things if you absolutely need the money right away. If you have anything like that, just ask around and definitely ebay or craigslist, even facebook. I hope things work out for you and that you can make it! MGF seems to be the fastest way you can get money, so work that site like there's no tomorrow. You could also consider offering a '1 week sale' or a sale for a few days on your content. Good luck!

    Imlive is glitching bad right now. so if you need the money yesterday, try everything else cause you might just get more discouraged and waste precious time there. I feel you on MGF. took all my info off myn profile since I was outed and I didnt want the WHOLE family reading that i had some awesome, yet repulsive to some of them, clip descriptions. I dont even know when i will get back on there. I ran into many beggars lately and i thought it would be a good idea to take a break until i'm ready for their crazy demands again. good luck, you can do it. May the power of the camgirl be with you!

    Shit, I've been there. Everyone else has covered the camming-related things, here are some more ideas:

    - Pawn anything you can. I promise you'll make more once you start working different sites (forget $40/day, $40/hr is perfectly realistic on SM for example) so don't worry, you'll get it back.

    - Do you have any change jars? Seriously, I know it sounds ridiculous but when I put about 2-3 months of loose change into a CoinStar it was like $57 (and I barely ever paid with cash.) I had no idea it would be more than $10 or $15. A lot of people keep their change for YEARS. If you're one of those people you could have hundreds.

    - Just bite the bullet and ask anyone who might be able to help you out. I hate, hate, hate doing this but it has saved my ass more than once.

    Also check craigslist and see if there are any listings for focus groups or plasma donations. Every few months I do a focus group/survey for about 40 minutes and walk out with $75 check and I think donating plasma gets you like $30-40 each visit.

    Thank you! I feel like I'm going insane trying to get money all day on mgf and not making a dime. I honestly having nothing of value to sell other than my computer...and I can't donate blood...I tried awhile back and from what I remember I'm about 10lbs under their weight minimum and not having info on my tattoo/piercings was a nono. Grr...so frustrating...mgf was going so well for awhile there I dropped all other camsites for it..I always put my eggs in one basket, but luckily I can usually work my way out of things. Anyone know how long it'll take to get approved to sm daily pay? I just sent in all info for that and ifriends/adultwork today...I'll definately talk to my landlord asap...

    You might also want to try making clips for Kinkbomb and Clips 4sale. You won't get the cash right away but in time you can make bank on there. Always good to have this as a safety net.

    Is there a way you can take your computer back and get a more affordable one just so you can cover rent? Something that has great specs, but is maybe a cheaper brand like Acer or something? Then, once you start making more, you can upgrade.

    I bought it on ebay and the return policy stated 7 days :{..even if I could...I'm in love with that computer, I know if I can just make the rent I'll be making good money when I get back on cam because my main issue with webcamming in the first place was lagging/freezing, try camming off of a single core with 1gb of memory lol...it drove me insane when I lost money, customers, and placement due to something that I had no control over and even back then I did (imo) pretty good. I kind of figured out a good way to make money on mgf for the time being...I'm advertising custom videos on mgf while before I was just selling content. It has had a few bites already so we'll see where this goes. I'm just praying that one of the camsites with daily/weekly pay accepts me asap.

    A few other ideas not mentioned:

    Sell clothes to Buffalo Exchange or similar. Cash up front and I've made hundreds at a time selling shit I wasn't wearing anyway. Look up what they're looking for before you go so you don't haul over a bunch of clothes they won't take. They're probably buying lots of sweaters and coats right now, so fashionable styles from good brands are a good bet.

    Have a yard sale/stoop sale if it makes sense to do so in your area. Have a couple friends come help. I do this every summer and we bank, partially just because we're cute girls so guys will buy a $20 record so they can talk to us.

    Go on Craigslist to the gigs section and see if there's anything that you're able to do. It could be adult work (private party dancing, etc.), non-adult work that still relies on being attractive and magnetic (shot girl/bartender stuff and promo modeling), or something totally unrelated (helping someone organize their office).

    Also try out MFC you may not get paid til the 15th but if you give your landlord at least half the rent and tell them something came up they'll most likely work with you.

    MFC usually takes about 24-48 hours for approval. Then set your topic and goals. I was surprised with a shot to hell score I've already pulled $400 from a few privates, a skype show and some teasing. I don't even get naked in free chat there and that was in just a few days. There's still 8 days left so who knows what my end payout will be.

    My sister and mom have used FB to make $.

    They told me that if you search for Buy/Sell/Trade groups in your area you can sell things, and it's faster and better than Craigslist. Overall better experience. (Look for and join the groups that have the most people.) My sister advertises that she can clean houses and do some babysitting jobs so thats something to think of too.

    Thanks for posting these resources! I went to the guy's website who wrote smart women finish rich and found that he is giving away a copy of one of his books if you sign up for his newsletter.
    http://www.finishrich.com

    I thought it was probably a preview, but it's a whole book! It's short and not a lot of details, but I think it's enough to get me started.

    I'm really fucking tired of living from week to week and never getting ahead.

    I know it doesn't help NOW, but being in this industry is as you already know, unstable. Without careful planning, it's hard to rely on this job when we don't know what it's going to be one day to the next.

    Here's some suggestions that hopefully can help going forward. Trust me, I've been there and until I made some solid changes, I was living week to week also!

    - Once you start camming, keep track of when you log on, when you log off, and how much you made. Do this for a long time and you will gradually start to see how much money you can reasonably rely on for your hourly average. That helps to know how much you need to work each week to make your budget.

    - Make a budget! Budget everything!!! Take one month to track all your expenses to know where your money is really going, then find places to cut unnecessary spending. I use mint.com for this and it's great. Since SM pays weekly I prefer to do a weekly budget. As far as rent goes, I take my rent amount and divide by 4 (4 weeks in the average month) and then I put aside 1/4 of my rent every single week into my bill account. I have a spread sheet that lays out what bills are due on which pay week, and I know exactly to the penny how much money I need to make every single week to break even on bills, gas, and groceries.

    - Get a separate checking account for bills only! Transfer money for bills into that account and pretend it's gone! Don't spend it! Use it strictly for bills that way you always know exactly how much disposable money you have to spend.

    - Start putting money into savings every week, budget it in, to build a cushion! This will be a life saver!!! If you get sick, you can pull from the cushion to cover bills and build it back up when you are working again. We don't get paid time off, so the only way you will make it thru slow times or being sick or whatever else is to have that cushion as sort of insurance for when you cannot work.

    I really hope you can make the money in time! Everyone else here gave all the suggestions that I would have given. Good luck!!!

    Yea! great post sarah!!.. I don't live paycheck to paycheck.. I narrowed down my expenses to half what I make.. so when i am freaking out that I am not making enough money, I am talking about disposable income, LOL.. Now, I do not necessarily do what you do, but similar. I do track my hours and diligently work those hours unless i am completely spent , and burnt and on fire.
    But I aim to make double my expenses every week and don't settle for less, there are times it doesnt happen but oh well.
    I have 2 checking accounts and about 8 savings accounts , an IRA and an HSA (health savings account) and a regular Investment Account.
    And EVERYTIME I GET A CHECK.. I put certain percentages in each.. Not everyone can micro-manage so well but give it a whirl, the money just grows and grows.. I was able to spend 4 grand just back in May to take real estate investing classes, even through all the B.S. of this job.
    I am more than happy to answer questions .. I am doing pretty good for being single almost a 14 yrs and raising two kids.. I even pay child support for one and have the other one in college part time.
