    Default Camming during the day vs. night.

    What have your experiences been like. I am usually a night girl but decided to get a baby sitter and see how days went. I need to make 350 plus to break even because im losing money with a baby sitter. so right now im making 100 away from my goal...Not sure if its me or because I dont have a customer base yet during the day???

    I would love to only cam during the day, but it always seems so much slower than at night. I guess it could vary from site to site though. If you like it and are close to goals try it longer and see what happens.

    I would try it for longer. This summer I did a lot of day shifts and the first couple weeks were slow, but once I built up day time fans and regulars, it picked up. Give it a while longer before you decide.

    Im mostly a swing / split shifter, and lately, daytime traffic has been better than late nights. Seems like a lot of my latenight guys disappeared I dont even see them log on.

    (I'm in Eastern Standard Time)

    I cam from around noon until about 7 or 8pm with a sanity break somewhere in there. Sometimes I log on as late as 2pm, but never later than that. If its super dead, I'll jump to different sites. I work non-free chat sites primarily, but I will jump to free chat sites if my main game is slow.

    I have a loyal fan base on my main two sites (no free chat), and they're busy at weird hours because I have worked days for so long, plus a lot of UK customers.

    But no matter how many days I work on free chat sites, (MFC, SM, CB, ImLive, Etc), it never seems to get busy there until after 5pm.

    Basically, I rely on my prebooked shows, if its after 5pm and I'm not getting the traffic I'd like to see, I'll jump ship to a free chat site. If its before 5pm...I don't even try to free chat at all.

    I don't cam at night anymore because a lot of the late night crowd is a bit too eccentric for me. I find that the guys I tend to attract after 8pm can be very demanding, have taboo requests, disrespectful, and may have other qualities I try to steer clear from. Not sure what the difference is, but I certainly like to be done with my day by 7 or 8pm.

    3rd day camming during the day.
    Since you've only tried it for three days, I agree with the others who said to try it out for a little longer. I like camming on MFC at night from around 10 PM EST til 12 midnight. I don't like doing daytimes on there. I had experimented with early afternoons on there for a week (or was it two weeks?), and I got tired of it because it was pretty much one of my regs (from the night shift) doing all of the tipping.

    Gone are the days when you could just log on and do a 10 hour stint and always make a fuckton of money (IMO), though I do know a few girls who still do that. IMO, its best to log on a few hours here & there, which spans morning, afternoon, and night. But again, it all depends on when your regulars are on IMO.

    I cam on MFC and I get tipped alot faster at night, not necessarily MORE..because I guess at night guys log on to you know, get a quicker relief vs in the morning/during the way while at work...so for me night is better. I do cam at both night and day though.

    ^^^This.

    @gingerstripper Most times I work evenings and nights. When I'm up early enough I work morning-afternoon, evenings, and nights. I find it better to work morning-afternoon, evenings, and nights rather than just evening/nights.

    I noticed that at around 4 hours I start to get tired and a little cranky so I usually only do 2-3 hours per shift. I think doing 2-3 hours per shift is the easiest way to go.

    [shrug] I think it's really more about keeping a schedule. I'm more successful during the day but that's because I'm far more consistent. At night I bail a lot more to do other things [ go out to dinner, movies, party ect] so I find it much more difficult to keep up a consistent night show.
    That being said I usually TRY to do a split [ so like 1-4 ish and 9-12ish] but I am far more consistent with my day schedule. Prolly cos I'll often make my goal and then just be like "fuck it, I made enough today" lol gotta stop that shit.. ><

    I generally do better in the mornings/afternoons (PST here). For some reason, my room usually slows down a lot after 5PM. I'm guessing it's because more models are online in the evenings, plus I don't have a base of evening regulars built up.

    A consistent schedule is probably the key. I make the most between 2PM-5PM because that's the time when I tend to log on the most.

    I have done every shift and shift combo imaginable.

    1st thing, being you are a new model make sure you are taking advantage and your rates are not cheap. if you don't know, ask SM to raise your minimums you can charge.

    2nd I found it does not matter what time of day. Some weeks night is better, some times days are better - CONSISTENCY is key. I do like to mix it up, gain regs from all times of day and rotate my schedule - they miss me and we we have a great time.

    3rd I have found the best time to cam is when I have the most energy. For some, after a workout, others afternoon, some int eh am, depends on you.

    I cam whenever, because I have regulars who always pop in no matter when I cam. Plus, I always gain a few new custies when my scheduale is all over the place. Not too long ago, I have said that camming in the wee hours was always good, but now that camming traffic has changed, it's all a crap shoot for me. That's why I don't rely on camming for my sole income anymore.

    I've always been a night time cam girl. I was never able to make more than $100 in a 6 hr day shift. A 6 hr shift at night for me is usually $200. Over the summer though I got tired of spending all night camming so I decided to get up early one day and try the morning shift. I was on at 7am EST and did fantastic. I had my goal by noon everyday. Once school started though it went back to being horrible for me. I can only cam from 8am to 3pm and after 9pm. Wish I could get on in the middle of the day, but I can't. I've still been doing the morning shift. I barely crack $100 but even $40 is $40 less that I have to make up for that night I guess.

    I do a bit of both. I personally hate the "I'm at work" guys. So wTF you want me to entertain you in free?! Generally I find it slow during the day, but when you do get a show its a longer one. I get more 1 minute peepers at night.

    I have two different shifts on sm. I'm on really late at night (from 11 pm-bar close) and then have a short morning shift from 5:30 am-7am.

    Literally I've made $100+ in my morning shift alone. Most pvts in the morning are quick and to the point. But when its one after another, I'm alright with that. Plus, if you try to have a sense of urgency that you have to get somewhere soon, they'll pile in.

    Default Re: Camming during the day vs. night.

    I cam from 7am EDT to 11am EDT. Which in my own timezone is 11am-3pm GMT. So I guess its considered daytime/mornings. Children are at school and husband at work. They all start coming home around 3pm gmt so i have to quit. But there have been a few times when I tried the afternoon and night shifts on MFC. I found that one night I logged on I felt like I had a new model tag and made bank really fast, lots of new faces and they all wanted my videos, but alas I never saw any of these guys again as it's hard 2 get on at night. But a few weeks later I got on again at night, expecting it to be like the last time. But it wasn't. I had around 3 viewers the entire time and no1 tipped or spoke or anything. I noticed that there were loads of top models online, so i guess thats why. all my regulars are on in the daytime. they tend to be Australian guys as it is actually nighttime for them when its daytime for me. I think about 90% of my tippers are Australian. They are really nice and generous tippers too, as it's very cheap to live in Australia. The other 10% of the tippers are ones that speak very little English and are from european or asian countries. I very rarely have a UK or American guy customer on MFC. Uk guys always ask for free stuff and beg for you to open cam and American guys are either too busy tipping Romanian girls in hopes they will marry them or hanging out on guest account recording your shows.

    It's funny because a little while ago I was saying that ImLive is better in the morning (around 9 AM - 12:30 PM EST) and dead at night, but now it seems like vice-versa is happening.

    I work both. Some mornings it is off the hook!!! But this morning was fail..... I find nights to be the same - it is all hit or miss. I was even on first row with great traffic this morning - 35 min no privates so I had to log off. I had 100 people add me as favorite and plenty of traffic, plenty of peopel telling me how hot I am so I am not sure what the issue was with no action. Starts messing with my head and my cam score so I had to log off. I will try again tonight.

    I like camming in the morning through the night if that makes sense. I like to get the morning wood guys and end with the guys getting ready for bed. Sometimes it varies and you have to just be on long enough to make your goals which is what I try and do. Sometimes the mornings can be very busy, sometimes the nights can be and visa versa.
