    Thumbs down Camming on Fridays or weekends...

    Was just wondering how Friday nights are for everyone or even weekends. I'm new to Streamate but it is soooo quiet, wondered if its just the fact its Friday night. Wondered if I should try a diff site tonight like Chaturbate, or is it all the same?

    Just try it. Just because it's quiet tonight doesn't mean that it'll be that way next Friday. You may log on next Friday and do surprisingly well. The point is that you'll never know until you try. Just try to stick it out for the rest of your shift...maybe even splitcam Streamate with Chaturbate (though I image that splitcamming two mandatory free chat sites would be difficult???). Also, Friday is payday for a lot of people, so hopefully someone will spend a little of his paycheck on you. Good luck.

    Usually I do pretty well on Friday nights, but this week is slow. Just hang in there!

    The big stars generally come out during prime time, so it usually cuts into business for everyone else. Just changing up your hours a bit can make a big difference in your income on SM.

    Welcome to the unpredictable world of camming where it is never the same for any two people and you can never take anything for granted!

    The best way to figure out your own personal best days it to create a spreadsheet so you can look over a large period of time (say six months) and see what days have been the busiest.

    Just work whatever time is convenient for you. You need to get some regulars. If you're trying to work overnights and falling asleep you're not going to do well. If you're a night owl, you will be ok. Not every day is good anymore. It's hit or miss. Best of luck.

    Slow as 1st of the month is coming up and bills are due. Always a week where it's slow. I'd think it'd be slow everywhere. This August is a 3 paycheck month though, so people will be spending that extra cash!!!

    What JAC said is right on. Last Saturday I made nothing and this one has been steadily busy. Sometimes Sunday is the busy day, I went a long spell where Tuesdays were my day to rake it in. Personally, being consistent with the time of day I log on has been better then trying to figure out which days will be the best. That said, if weekends are your best time to work and you always work them, your customers will come to expect that. It's not the same, for example, as Friday night at a strip club, guaranteed $$, in my experience.

    It doesn't matter what day it is. Just get your butt on whenever you can, and try to keep a regular schedule. It helps

    I dont get it. It isn't slow for me.

    My job is to get them to spend money no matter how few of them maybe in my room.

    I do marketing like crazy to build up regulars & bring in new guys so that i make the most of my time on cam.

    There are still plenty of horny men, you are getting back what you put into the cosmos.

    If it does slow down, I just log off make clips. There is always something to do or learn to help me make money. I don't give up that easy.

    :-) See it was the opposite for me, this Sat was a bust and last Sat I killed it. AND my % in paid was through the roof this week and I had great placement yesterday but all I heard was crickets, so go figure.


    I have researched, analysed and studied this to the point of exhaustion for the past 3 years. As soon as I think I have found the secret algorithm I am soon proved incorrect; there are WAY too many variables.

    One could make arguments for weekends that more custies are around due to having weekends off, but that is still a loose variable. Plenty of people work crazy hours who have money, not just m-f/9-5'ers. Heck, I get guys on Sat telling me they are watching me at work as much as I get guys saying that on a weekend or even at night. And we are international so add that to the mix.

    Fridays and Saturdays are hit or miss for me and it doesn't matter if it is day or night or if the Queen of England is having tea with Bob Marley. Sundays are great for me BUT, I have worked on Sunday consistently forever and custies know they can count on me being there. I have made $300 on a Wed and $60 on a Sunday for the same amount of hours- so again go figure.

    Bottom line it is what you put into it. If you go at this haphazardly, then that will be your results.

    Friday used to be really awesome for me, but now it's easily become my worst day of the week. I avoid working Friday if at all possible now. Weekends in general used to be the best time for me but now, meh. They aren't worth working for me right now when I could be with my kids/hubby. I'm hoping this switches back to weekends being good for me again after summer/when school starts/something!

    That's my experience as well. I used to love Friday nights and now they aren't very good for me. I tried Saturday during the day and it was so bad. OMG I wish I hadn't logged on. I think I will keep my Fridays for sites with no free chat when possible.

    This basically sums up why I don't have official days off. I consider my week to run Sunday to Saturday, set how much I need to make that week, divide by 7, and try to make at least that every day. If it's super slow, I know I have to double up the next day or just keep putting in the hours until I make enough to call it a day. If I get way ahead and wanna take a night off, I do it then, but only after I've gotten to my 'money I must have to live' threshold. It's a good mentality to get into for me since I never know when a day will be fast/slow for shows and just getting on is the fastest way to make any money. Plus, I split with Arousr and some PSO work, so I can usually net mid-to-high hourly wages on at least one of those fronts to get to my goal.

    So, camming on weekends? If I still need the cash, I cam. I try not to look too hard at who else is working.

    Exactly. With how bad camming has been for a lot of us, models are probably now working on days they had previously designated their "day(s) off."

    that is what is so lovely about camming, it keeps you guessing and on your toes.. LONG time ago the best day of the week was MONDAY, and then it was SUNDAY! and NOW?? I have no IDEA.. it's hit or miss these days!.

    YES!... you never know!..which is annoying.. which is the way I have always worked 7 days a week.. I do not have another person bringing home a paycheck or another source of income... and another reason after many years of this I cut my expenses way down and always strive for living off half my money but I cannot make it with that for 3 people.. but I try.... and so NOW i work 7 days a week for ME!!!.. not cuz i have to.. cuz i want a future beyond just cam and struggling and living day to day and paycheck to paycheck.. there is a difference to working cuz you have to and cuz you want to.. I still feel i HAVE to cuz i am older .. almost 42 and I let everyone take my power away from me in my younger years and I have ended up with nothing and i am worried and concerned about my future.. but it's nice to know that I don't have to work every single day to pay the bills.

    Friday nights are usually slow/dead for me. Saturday and Sunday use to be good but now they're a hit or miss. When Saturday's are a hit they really are a fucking hit though. You should try as many sites as possible but you might want to think about split-camming. Although weekends have become a hit or miss for me I think that I'm going to try an start working them consistently because I like starting my week early. Waking up on Monday seeing $$(even if its not alot) in my account already is a great feeling.

    I remember the first time I took the "leap" into prime time/weekends, etc.....I had NO need to be daunted after all. My attitude is "what do I have to lose by jumping on for a bit?" Seems to work. Good luck!
