    Default How Long Do You Normally Stay On If It's Slow

    Slow if different for everyone, but I am talking about if you've been on for an hour or two with NO shows and just time waisters. How long do you normally stay on SM? Usually if all I'm getting is beggars, I will stay on for an hour sometimes a little longer, and then try again.

    In the past I would have said fuck it and log off after an hour with no shows but lately I've stuck it out until I see the light!

    I stick it out if its slow, but i am allowed to do gold shows sometimes I will start a gold show which some how triggers people coming in my room even if I don't make the goal I might do the show which seems to turn around the slow patch.

    I'm on MFC and I give it an hour (or a half hour if it's PAINFULLY slow, like barely any basics in the room either). It sucks because of the camscore thing. I could have had a private in the next five minutes, but I had to log off.

    Well previously I would just log off after about 30 minutes. Now I have a shift that I work every day even if its slow. I'm on SM though. You can always meet people who may turn into customers another day. It's a good way to get favorites.

    how long I stay on when it's slow for me depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood I'll give it 2 hours if I'm in an ok or bad mood 1 hour

    No shows at all? I would not stay on for an hour with no shows, fuck that. I think 20 mins is the longest I've been without a show. If nothing has happened in 30 mins, it's better for me to log on later. I've noticed it starts to train my customers too. They know they have to catch me when I"m on because it's hard to predict if/when I will be on next. I tried the schedule thing, but it just made me miserable. Part of what I like about camming is its flexibility and working any and all hours.

    Oh it all depends I really try to stay on for at least an hour but if all I'm getting is begging freeloaders and my regs are "broke" I tend to not stay on too long.

    One full hour before I decide to log off. But if someone known for tipping every time happens to enter the room right as I'm getting ready to log off, I might stick around a few more minutes...because sometimes they'll make it worthwhile for me to stay.

    i would say a couple or three hours, trying to end with a pvt or a gold show so i don't feel that bad, that's when i'm in a good mood. when i'm in a bad mood, well... it depends, sometimes being bitchy for a while to the beggars seems to ease my irascibility haha and when my self-indulgence has no limit i might stop after 10 minutes with some lazy excuse... :/

    Depends on my mood, an hour or two then take a break before hop back on. I do not normally get on at this hour but damn, my placement sucks and means I get lesser traffic... I just did a 10 min voyeur gold show - to do my long overdue exercise with resistance bands and I had fun! I think doing voyeur shows while catching up your exercises or whatever would kill the time and maybe land a spender.

    I'm glad you guys said that. I was starting to feel like I'm the only one without saint-like patience. Some of you ladies are just amazing!

    My rule is: If I make less than $10 in my 1st 30 minutes, log off. If I don't hit $30 by the 1st hour, log off. If I make less than $20 in any of the following half-hours, log off. Like Charlotte said, I like to keep the guys trained. Plus, unusually low earnings might mean there's site issues or something, so I should do something else productive to have free time later when things are running properly.

    Of course, that strategy only works if you have a pretty flexible schedule. If you only have a few set hours to be online, you're sort of stuck. If you work a token site, you probably have to wait a bit longer for the tips to start rolling in. If your business is very heavily centered on regs, you will probably end up waiting longer (don't get me wrong, regs are great, and you should have them, *but* if they aren't online at the moment, there's not much you can do about it). Not to mention that everyone will have different free-chat-tolerance levels. Like pretty much everything, it really comes down to your style and what works for YOU.

    I've been switching sites like crazy when it's slow, but I really need to get back to sticking it out for a bit. I think I should do a 45-minute minimum whenever I log on to a site.

    Default Re: How Long Do You Normally Stay On If It's Slow

    Honestly it's totally dependent on how bad I need money and what my other options are. I stuck it out over 2 hours tonight on IML with almost nothing to show for it. If it was the beginning of the pay period I would have peaced out after 20 minutes.

    If it's been a busy night and it hits a slow point less than ~3 hours in I'll give it a little more time. It's not unusual for me to have ~30 minute lulls in the middle of decent money nights. But if it's much more than that or if it's already near the end of my shift/I've already made goal then I'll more than likely sign out.

    Not as long as I should, usually two hours. Like others said, there's sometimes site issues and that's what tends to happen when it's more than an hour or so with barely any money.

    I used to long off after an hour if it was slow. Now that I have set up a goal of moving back to SoCal in August, I'm probably going to sit my pretty butt on cam until its time for me fully log off. I need to make that dough

    I give it an hour. That's it. An hour with less than $ 30 and it's usually a site glitch. Apparently according to my calculations it's been glitching for me for about 2 weeks. I have no patience for this. I hate watching my daily percent in paid taking a shit. I don't want to be on the back pages. I took all the geo restrictions off and I seem to be on the first page near the top. And nothing but time wasters. 1300 ladies on in the toys category. Everyone is trying to get paid at the end of the month, but guys are also paying their end of the month bills. Meh. Why couldn't I have been born fucking fabulous looking. You know. The kind of looks that keep you in back to back excl. Sigh.
