    Default Getting on cam when in a bad mood...

    So I'm generally new to camming. I tried it back in January or so on MFC and it just wasn't good for me since I'm slightly curvy and hate talking 24/7. Anyways, now that I'm pregnant and on SM I do a bit better, averaging 35 an hour or so, though I can't work many hours because I have a 3 year old who doesn't like to sleep at night.

    My husband just got a huge paycut, where we wont be able to survive if I don't make some serious cash. I know I need to log on like right now, but I'm so pissed and I know everyone would be able to tell. My question is: how do you girls hop on cam when everything in your life seems to suck? How do you get motivated?

    Thanks!

    First off, check out this thread:

    https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...y-Crappy-Times

    Personally this is what seems to help me the most, in this order:

    1. KEEPING A SCHEDULE. My most profitable week was right after I lost my best friend, the dude I was sleeping with was being a humongous dick, and I was just coming out of withdrawals. Shit sucked majorly, but I made money because I was on cam 5-6 hours every single day. It's so much easier to be on cam every day at (for example) 10 am to 2 pm than it is to try to get on cam whenever. Think about when you've had to go to work or school every single day in the morning. It didn't really matter what kind of mood you were in, did it? It was what you did so you just did it.

    2. I like to listen to music and dance around while getting ready. Just be careful that you don't get distracted by how damn sexy your reflection looks. (Guilty.)

    3. Do something that makes you happy. Last time I was on cam I took a break and was in kind of a shitty mood... so I went and bought some candy. OK, a lot of candy. I could not stop smiling when I got back on cam, they all thought I was drunk. It was ridiculous how happy that candy made me. Eat some candy, play with your kids, do something to put a smile on your face.

    Sorry to hear about your husband's paycut but I'm sure you'll figure out a way to make it work.

    I've been watching comedy on Youtube before the start of my shift (or in the middle of a bad shift on my break) to help put myself in a better mood.

    Lately I've on an Eddie Izzard kick....

    Possibly off topic, but since you're pregnant you should also consider doing some pregnancy fetish clips on c4s etc. More sources of income may help you relax a bit more about money and try to have fun on cam.
    I've been responsible for all my family's bills for awhile now, and I got so stressed and obsessed with the money I just couldn't get a pvt, my aura just screamed "give me your money and eff off!!!!!" clips were a life saver, especially since my 1 y.o. only takes one nap and gets up several times during the night.

    Lately I've been forcing myself to get on cam when in a bad mood. I've surprised myself and found I'm able to channel it into being a sassy little bitch. I learned that this past weekend when I was angry with my boyfriend because he texted and backed out of our plans. I decided to jump on cam, knowing he would sign on and watch me work. I had a hell of an attitude, and while my bf was watching me from his place, told guys in my chat about it in a very confident way. Like, "this guy chose to go home instead of coming over and fucking me, and I'm not happy about it." I was a bitch with a smile on my face, because I felt I was getting back at him. I got a shitload of privates, and it felt wonderful watching guys in my chat say he was crazy for turning down sex with me. They loved my bitchy attitude! I think it's because I felt totally in control. Funny thing is, it turned out he planned the whole thing and it worked out great in the end, but that's beside the point.

    It's a different scenario, but if you can find some way to subvert your anger and frustration into your work, rather than trying to avoid those feelings, you may be surprised how it works out. Or hell, you might get on and get no shows! But you'll feel better for powering through. Set a small goal, like "I'll get on cam for fifteen minutes", so that it's manageable and you're not over-thinking.

    It's easy to get bogged down feeling the weight of your obligations, "I have to pay the bills, take care of the kids, walk the dog, make as much money as possible, husband needs financial help, if I don't do it we are screwed and won't be able to pay the electric, insurance. . . " Before we know it, the task at hand seems too overwhelming, so it's easier to do nothing, though we feel worse in the end.

    Small goal that you can succeed at first! Then another, and another! One thing at a time.

    Sometimes when I'm in an angry mood it actually works to my benefit? I am usually sweet on cam but sometimes the "fuck you, pay me" attitude actually works to my advantage?

    I tell my free chat, "I am too fucking nice, if I started acting like a rude ass bitch then you'd fucking take me private, assholes."

    "No, no, no, we like nice girls."

    "No, you SAY you like nice girls, but nice girls don't get paid, you assholes only spend your money on rude bitches."

    Then I act like a rude bitch. Then guys tip and take me private. I'm not even a Domme. It makes no sense to me but it is what it is.

    Just yesterday I was in a BAD mood over some guy. I had someone take me into a long ass private because of it- I actually made my daily goal off of that one show, and he was all, "I love you. Fuck that other guy. Take out all of your frustrations here with me. Do you feel better now?" You're paying me $6/min, fuck yes I feel better

    Cut out the things in your life that are putting you in a bad mood. Or, I know pregnancy you can't exactly avoid, but look on the bright side. Think about all the money you are stockpiling for your baby. And the more time you put in now, the less you will need to when the baby arrives.

    I recently cut out most of the things that put me in a bad mood (even the ones I didn't realize!), and I'm able to work long hours again without a problem. I'm actually one of the weirdos that enjoys camming and interacting with my favorite customers.

    I have been in a bad mood these past couple days so I can relate. I'm a single mom and camming is my only income. Pressure of bills and such sucks, I know and it sucks when you cam because you have to, not because you want to. Before I get on cam I set up a playlist and only put upbeat songs on there that make me feel like dancing or songs that make me laugh. I heard that if you smile, even if it's fake, your mind will somehow trick itself into thinking you are happy and that that will elevate your mood. I just plaster a fake smile on my face while listening to music. Having chocolate nearby seems to help too. Kudos to you for camming while pregnant. I know I couldn't do it. I was overly sensitive and would have been crying over everything lol

    Think of the $$ you can make. You are pregnant. I was so busy and could make minimum $50 an hour, I raised my minimum price twice in 2 months. I know I was raking in cash so easily when I was preggers. Soon as you start lactating, make sure you click that in the attributes section. Clips are great when you don't feel like dealing with people.
