    Default Camming just doesn't seem to work for me

    I've been a dancer for years. I've tried camming off and on but I never seem to make that much $ with it. Like its weird bc I know how to talk to guys how to hustle.....but guys never stay in my room very long. This is on cams.com. Also tried mfc but never got the hang of it w cheap guys. Streamate is cool if I could stream that encoder....maybe it's just not my thing....

    What kind of advice are you looking for, specifically? How many hours have you devoted to camming? It can often take a while to build up your income. Most of us started out making very little compared to what we make now after working lots of hours and building regulars, etc. You can't really expect to dip your toes in every once in a while and make good money right off the bat.

    I agree with Smurfette.

    Camming is a full-time, part-time job. Or a full time job for some of the ladies.

    I definitely didn't make much when I started, but by sticking it out and working consistent hours, you eventually build regulars and find your niche. You really have to invest your time in it if you want to have some results. You can't just hop on and expect to make money straight off the bat. Unless you're Jenna Jameson lol.

    Thanks so much for this! I just started myself and only made about $20 so far camming for a few hours a day. This gives me hope.

    Ya you really DO need to treat it like a job if you want to earn good income. LIKE THE BEST JOB EVER WHERE YOU GET TO MAKE YOUR OWN HOURS AND STUFF!
    I danced professionaly...oh my whole life until about 19.. and when I started camming it took me a lil while to really get into my groove with it. Best advice I got was to keep a schedule even if I was only camming twice a week. The schedule is SUCH a good call cos then people who want to tip know where to find you =D

    Camming has not worked for me since I had surgery last year, I was gone for at least 4-5 months. When I came back I couldnt even make $1 !!! I would cry because I used to make quick GOOD money I used to love camming so much and would brag about it to my man... camming paid for my phone bill and I was planning on saving for my first car. I got very bad ratings one day from just about everyone when I was doing an awesome being kind of handicapped lol (i only made $12 bucks)... I was injured and still healing. I stopped again..3 months later came back, I was so healed that no one could tell I was injured or anything was wrong... still no money...came back a week later...no money....the next day...no money....not even 2 people in my room.

    Now I'm making it a MISSION. To come back after Christmas and make some money. I don't care if its $200 a week It my new years resolution to make between $500-$800 a week. I'm still healing and it will take at least 2 more years to completely heal...

    But you shouldn't give up, you should keep trying, you never know what could happen. You should have a regular job or home based job and cam for a little bit every other day.
    You could have an hour long private or get a huge ass $100 tip. Some guy tipped me $100 when I was just sitting down in free chat...he meant to tip me $1...but still I was happy as hell lol.

    Focus and have determination. anything is possible.. I'm so determined. I registered to like 4 new sites likes clips4sale.... even started a twitter account

    p.s I opened two fortune cookies today they said... "keep up the good work, you will be rewarded. and ....."you will inherit an unexpected sum of money within this year." ...haha I hope its from camming.

    ^^^ Sorry to hear about ur health problems sweetie, i wish u all the best, can i ask what surgery u had that it takes soo long to heal? If u dont feel like telling here u can PM me or just dont answer at all, sorry if i ask for too much.
    To Original Poster, u can keep trying with cam work and see what comes out off it, u can combine cam work with other work or just give up caming if u feel is not working for u and u get nowhere, for every of us cam work is different and we all have different circumstances. All the best there, Good luck!

    It was such a freak accident I was in a very good mood and making good money camming..I had just passed my learners test that day! and I was finally learning how to drive ...to finally get my own car ..
    I was holding a glass vase in the bathroom... and slipped and fell on it..., my hand (writing hand) broke the fall...(kind of gross tmi)
    It was so bad you could see the inside of my hand, the glass split it open. I lost so much blood i fell out. I was in surgery for 4+ hours and he had to cut open my wrist too just to connect everything, the surgeon said it was the worst hand injury he had ever seen. I had to go to therapy twice a week to be able to move my fingers,I had no feeling in my hand. i had to learn to squeeze again, straighten my fingers, try to make a fist..and so on.... I could not write at all...therapy and hospital bills for this was sooo high I stopped going.
    the glass cut through 4 tendons. I had to wear a cast for a couple months, and then an arm brace which i am still wearing and this happened LAST YEAR .. Then the camming money stopped coming in. It was hard to use a vibrator, using the other hand was difficult too because I'm a lefty. But when I got better enough to use my left hand again...still no money. They probably thought it looked a little freaky because I did get questions.

    i still don't have complete feeling in my hand, i cant get all of my fingers straight or make a fist. He said It will take 2 years to completely heal but there is a chance I will never heal at all. But try putting your hair in a pony tail with one hand, it was hell for me. My bf had to do it.

    well, as a stripper i'd like to say..stripping and camming are two very different animals. apples and oranges. you could walk into a strip club and make a few hundred in a couple hours just by hustling but camming is so different.at least for me it was. you really need to be on point with your technology..like good cam quality, speed, lighting, etc. anndd you need to stay on there for AWHILE, on multiple sites if you can. and you need to do it a lot, like keep trying every day. you probably arent going to make as much camming as stripping, at least not as fast. also just gonna throw that out there

    Vanity6girl I just prayed for you. I really hope you get better soon!! :C
    And Jasmine don't give up! I started on myfreecams and was terrible at it.
    In fact, it nearly began to destroy my self-esteem. lol
    I moved to Chaturbate and started making good money.
    Made $1,140 in the last two weeks from Chaturbate alone. And I am wearing a ratchet wig barely any make-up and I have a rabbit with dying batteries LOL. I don't even know why they think I'm hot tbh. loollllllllll. Men are strange creatures...
    Anyway, the girls are so right!!!! A schedule is really important. So...because I go to school I take advantage of the holidays. Make videos, take pictures, use twitter, promote yourself. You will gain fans that love you. Look at what other models who are on the right track do. Buy a hitachi, don't let non-tipping males take advantage of you.
    I have a friend who I have never met irl b4. He's cute as hell and Asian. We used to skype all the time, and I lovedddd him lol He was funny, sexy, sweet, interesting and awesome. When I think about that, I understand what these guys want from a camgirl. (Even though he's a male.)
    Be happy, smile, be real and do your thing! ^~^
