    Default What was your worst night camming so far?

    Yesterday was my first day camming. I got one private show for a total of $8.18. To be honest, I am glad I got at least one show, I would have been bummed if I didn't. I wanted to work today but my recovery from having my wisdom teeth removed took a turn for the worse so I've been in bed and in pain all day I am hoping that I feel better tomorrow and can cam at least the rest of every evening this week. I'm trying to not get discouraged, I know it takes time and I have to build up a fan base (plus I'm waiting for some new toys to come in the mail!)

    So what has been your worst night camming? I'm sure there will be nights that I don't get any private shows, hopefully that will be when the rest of the week has been good.

    I'm working on my niche and getting the hang of it. I really feel like I will be able to do well on this, I just need to put the time in. I think I just need some encouragement! Sorry, I'm sure these kinds of threads are on here all the time

    Sorry to hear about your wisdom tooth, ouch! I hope you feel better soon and have lovely money-making times!

    I've had so many nights where I think to myself "THIS IS THE WORST NIGHT EVER!!", and I've been having a good these past few nights! It hasn't helped that I've been off Streamate so long at this point, that my rating has gone back down to 4 stars (they put your stars back down to 4 if you haven't been rated 5 times in 90 days), so I've been chilling on like, page FIVE... O_O I used to be top few rows on page 1, so it's been pretty tricky easing back into it this way.

    For some reason my memory goes to shit when I think about past work sessions from ages ago and I've no idea why. But yeah, I've had many a night where I've logged off crying and wanted to punch my laptop, chew my camera up, destroy the internet, etc, etc.. lol.

    Thankfully though with camming, the nature of this is such that if you can picture the worst night ever, you can also picture the greatest and most incredible night ever.
    They'll both happen - for sure... but the brutal nights, and the jaw-dropping incredible nights seem to even things out nicely in the end. <3

    My worst night was probably a 3 hour shift where I did zero, and got nothing but "preview bb" beggars on Skype that entire time also.

    You might want to think about other options also, as your 8.18 should have been closer to $15. IM is taking about half your money.

    You're with internetm0deling? Am I reading that correctly? If so, that seriously is the worst way to start a camming career and you should stop right away!! There are other ways! Get out before it drags on and your contract will go on and on and on.

    But either way, don't give up! My first paycheck was like a hundred bucks. A few months later, it was $800 in 21 hrs. It will get better-- you just have to put in the effort first and wait.

    Yes! I need to remember that! I knew that I wasn't going to make much at the very beginning. I just read a thread where people were talking about coming up with games to play while in the free room. That sounds like it could be fun. I might try to think something up so I can keep people engaged. I also don't have the gold show option yet, I need to get however many more ratings and private shows. Not sure if that's an IM thing or a SM thing all around, but that kinda sucks.

    Also, yes, I wish I had found this forum before I signed up with IM I have sent in an app to MFC and I bookmarked all the sites to work directly for so I can apply to them too.

    Today. I made $0 dollars and .0 cents. ( for the later viewers) Its Sunday and I deiced to work the afternoon, which I never do. Since day 1 I work from 10p-9a, This is always the window you will find me and I hate Sundays so I try to avoid but at the same time money is money and Im never to good to work a slow to make it. HA!!!! never a fucking again.
    I only worked an hour and 20 min (and it felt like 5), which I get is not a lot of time but Ive had days where I only worked 30min and 15-20 of those min where spent in private so the fact that I could get a dollar says a lot to me.
    I know its my job to be entertaining but I blame the boring ass mother fuckers in my room. When they weren't acting mute, they were only giving one word answers or making a 15 mile long list of request in Spanish. I was honesty was about to pretend I didn't understand so they would shut the fuck up. Instead I kept kicking every one out the room, which really helped my sanity.

    Dont even worry about making such a low amount, I think my 1st day I made like 28-30 bucks. It wasnt cos I wasnt getting privates It was that I didnt know how to keep a private going for more then a few min, I called everyone the nut and done crew, cos every thing was under 5min. Now no one every leaves my, sexual based, privates in under 16min. Just do your research and watch porn and add stuff to your performance. Once you figure out how to lengthen them the number of privates you do really wont matter.

    Thanks for the tips! I've been watching webcams non-stop for what seems like weeks. I am thinking about making a sort of Cards Against Humanity game and seeing if something like that would be fun in my room.
    The one private I did have was someone that I had talked to earlier in the day when I was on. We actually had a fun conversation about tattoos and he messaged me some photos of his tattoos on his arms, and then he came back later for a private. So I think I at least have a fan now!
    I really want to do a burlesque/pinup style show. I need to either make some outfits or save up and buy some new ones. I have a few things to start, but some fun lingerie definitely won't hurt.

    The past week, until I can ban all this asshole of a turd, sick man names out of my damn LIFE!!!!! He has torn my room apart and ruined it for many. My customers say they will come back when he is not around, or they hit report. I swear to god, this guy is sick! So I either ban all those names as they roll around or do password shows only that my customers get. I stayed on for an hour last night, made $52. That's it. Worst 5 days of my life due to him.

    When I first started on MFC, I was on for an hour in a thong the size of a bandaid and a stripper top on which each cup was the size of a credit card that I somehow got over my big C's/small D's. No money, none. I was way too nice and underdressed. Plus, I was letting guys PM me for free. So, I logged off and went to a different site in a tank top and boyshorts the next day, that went much better. PS-Avoid IM unless you're truly desperate.....and even then, just rob a bank or something instead.

    Last month I made a whopping $4.35 working four hours one night. I cried myself to sleep. Worked the next morning and had 2 hour long exclusives and a bunch of privates and tips. It will get better, don't worry. You'll have slow days and then you'll have amazing days. And sometimes you will have those days that just plain fucking suck and you'll make jack shit.

    I shutter at the thought of having to count the number of times I have ended up with a big fat zero after hours and hours of being on MFC.

    Thanks for this thread. Yesterday sucked--in a bad way, and I was in the sort of mood where I just banned anybody who called me "bb," "ru," etc. (I really hate those pet names, for those who are unaware.) "sweetie," I don't mind so much, because it doesn't sound totally retarded. Also, most of the premiums that came into my room had no tokens. I think a whole bunch of things had to do with the lack of success from last night, so I need to keep that in mind, but it sure was a downer. But I did do better this pay period--I was just a few dollars short of my goal.

    SM is just sucking for me starting this week. I had a banner week last week. I would blame the season, but the girls in the InstantPay program are absolutely rocking it - very embarrassing to compete with them this week. I'm not sure if seeing other ladies' checks is good or bad for my self-esteem.

    Today also looks like a fail, I just flipped off SM after about 30 minutes. Going to do clips all day and wait out Santa.

    It's hard to say because I'm really bad about staying on when it's slow. So while there have been times when I've made <$10 (or even $0) since I tend to sign off when it's that slow I was probably on less than an hour most of those times. But the other day I did earn $16 in 3 hours... That was a little depressing.

    However I have to say that reading this thread is super encouraging. I kind of got in a rut after that bad day and have only worked 2 days since... both of them better but still not great. So it's awesome to hear that people are having great days right after their bad ones

    When I first started it was bad. On MFC I made 10 tokens in like 4 hours. And my first few times on SM, I think I made like 2$ an hour. BUT I didnt offer sound/was using a built in isight on my mac and I wasn't very confident at all.

    OMG, I thought life was over. 2 days in a row, 6 hours each, $0.00.... I am used to making around $1k in 15-20 hours... I was devastated and panicked that cam career was over. Next day, $347 in 3 hours.

    Cheesy answer: the worst night camming is when I come up with too many excuses to even get on for a moment.....so that's, um, lemme think, ZERO. Usually follows right after a low paying night.
    But to answer what you just shared, try the clearance section of www.yandy.com I don't know what I'd do without them (and they do have burlesque, too) Good luck and hang tough~

    No such thing, I can always find a way to turn it around. I don't let it defeat me.

    If one cam site is dead, another usually is busy for me. If both are dead, since I am already dressed up make some clips. If my energy is off or low I can edit & upload clips to make money in the future.

    Part of this job is determination & attitude. I don't get upset or let it get me down. I figure out how to make the best of any situation.

    Don't stay on for hours if you are NOT making money. You are just rewarding those who are not spending money with your time & energy. Log off & work a different site after 30 minutes. Go run an errand or do the dishes & then come back to it. Log off & make a few clips then log back on. DO NOT sit there for hours NOT making money, it is not the best use of resources or time. Sometimes logging off & doing something worth while & positive changes the energy & brings you $$$.


    Good Luck,
    Sam
