    Smiley Trying to figure out good schedule

    Last night was my first time working Saturday night on streamate and I made 2$ in 1.5 hours -_- Sunday nights are normally good for me, but I'm assuming Friday and Saturday nights are bad because everyone is out!? I'm officially making camming my only source of income so it's stressing me out but I'm trying to stay motivated and keep at it.

    1.5 hours is a pretty short shift really.
    Personally I'm trying to do a few 2 to 3 hour shifts every single day to equal 8 hours. Exhausting but I have a ton of bills to pay and I am wanting to build up a decent savings again.

    Honestly it seems there is no rhyme or reason to when traffic comes these days. Best thing you can do is when you do get a show, make your performance the best you can and gather more regulars. Ask them to add you to their favorites.

    It's hit or miss any day. I made $170 in 2 hours on SM last night with back to back prvts and exclusives. Last Saturday night I made $97 in 3 hrs. Just log on consistently and hope for the best.

    I am a new performer, and I have the new model status and even that didn't seem to help. I'm super pretty, friendly, but I don't show shit for free. Hopping on again tonight, will try for three hour shifts! That's what people seem to say, stay consistent. Hoping I get busy soon.

    If you're a new performer, don't work too hard! I had only really stiff toy that dragged a lot and I'd do pretty much anything anyone demanded instantly. Anal in under a minute? Done. Fuck pussy really hard without stopping forever? Done. Shove four fingers in orifice bb? Done. Don't be like me. Write down what you'll do in premium (fingers, toys, no names, no anal, no special requests, whatever) somewhere (you don't have to post it) and stick to it. Write what you'll do in exclusive somewhere. Stick to it. If you won't flash w/o gold, don't.

    This will make it easier to go longer. If you do everything, you'll burn out in an hour. Personally, I've found I do better at night (10pm-3ish, EST) than evening (5-9pm EST) and that too late, even on a weekend (4-7am EST) is slow.

    Ahh yes my issue is now just finding a schedule and sticking to it. I get discouraged when I log in and don't make anything and I've never cammed longer than an hour or 2. Just hard for me to put so much time into something I feel like isn't getting me much. Going to stay positive and try for 3 hour days, every day. And gradually move up

    You are so cute. You just have to get some regular guys. my first week I only worked an hour or 2 a day and thought this is crap! what is this? I am not making any money!.. don't worry. even if you are not making money you are getting seen and known and they will spend money later.. I am NOT ashamed to tell you I made 35 bucks my first week in 2003 working 2 hours per day!.. now i make 4- 8 grand a month!. I do not even work more than 40 hours per week or less! Just keep being persistent!..if this is for you and resonates with you.

    I do have to tell you also that in my last over 10 yrs of camming I think SM is just the best with traffic.. it's easy money.. so don't fret so much.. I think it's amazing that girls ONLY work on one site cuz I have ALWAYS worked on multiple sites since day 1..

    I only use one site, streamate. Traffic is good. I don't have the hustle for MFC, and I don't know of any good sites so I just stick to streamate now. Might dip my toes into clips for sale eventually

    I think there are trends in traffic, but it can vary. Some girls love the day shift, some do well at night. I think you should try for 4-5 hour shifts. Usually the first hour or two is slow for me on SM, but then guys come back or I have built up a little group in my room and I get more shows. SM is kind of like a snowball, it builds speed the longer you are on

    Make sure your rates are a good price (at least 3$ I would suggest) and don't rush into your show too much. The first 30 secs are free, so you really shouldn't be giving them anything they can't get in free until after that.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with only having one site, as long as you are doing well on that site. If I'm doing well on SM it makes sense to build regulars and a reputation there instead of spreading myself thin by trying to raise my camscore on MFC or gain followers on chaturbate.

    I am at 4.29 a minute I've always kept rates good, because I know myself and the performance and attnstuon I give is worth it. I deff know about the 30 seconds and work it. Thank you all for your help, this is going to be along road for me, and hopefully not too bumpy of a ride!

    The new tag only draws trolls, guys looking for the new girl that doesnt know shit abt camming
    just give it a few

    I assume Fridays are bad bc everyone is logging on, reg cammers, PT cammers.. I do good but it can be a hit/miss. Often I log off and back on for better results.

    ^^ same for Saturdays. IDT it has to do w ppl going out, it has to do with number of models streaming.

    ya for sure just keep logging on. in my first week I got $56 bucks. I only worked one day for about two hours. then $75 my second week working 2 days. same about 2 hours a day. then my third week I got $550 working 3 days and about 3 hours a day. then $780 my 4th week (this past week). I worked 3 days for about 15 hours total. ive learned no matter then time of day if youre on that time consistently, you start getting some regulars and that helps out so so much! I went from averaging about 7 to 9 people in my room at once to now I average around 20 and hit high 40s when I do gold shows. just stick with it and work as many hours as you can around the same time a day so you can work on getting some regulars

    Oh wow, I've never had more than 10 people in my room! Yes I am FINALLY going to treat this like a job and stick with a schedule and slowly start building up hours. I'm going to try for 15 hours a week, and move up from there. Glad to have you ladies along for the ride!

    ya its a little disheartening at the begging. but my boyfriend told me the same thing you just said. he said I just have to treat it like its my job and I have to log on hours even if im just not in the mood to start. I tend to be grumpy for the first 10 minutes then I get in the groove and im my normal self lol

    lol ya neither am I. it helped out a lot to have my boyfriend pushing me to log in and get some hours on there. but once you see the bump up of people in your room you rarely have any time sitting around waiting for a show. im either in a gold show or private/exclusive probably 4o to 45 minutes an hour. which makes the time go by a lot faster and easier, and makes me want to work all the time. do you have gold shows yet?

    No gold shows yet and I prefer not to at the moment. Once I get busier I'll be okay. I still have my new model status, I just thought that would help my traffic but I have no more than 5 people in there at a time

    I still fall under new model as well. A thing I've learned. Even if you don't hit your goal for your gold show. It brings in more people when they see you're doing a gold show. I cancel my gold shows sometimes when guys ask to take me private or exclusive. So just a tip to get more guys in your room once you get gold
