    Default Advice on how to get all those little 'non-camming' extras done

    How on earth do the rest of you girls stay on top of all the 'non-camming' extras that need to be done? By the time I finishing tweeting, taking pictures to use in tweets, doing HTML for all the places that need it, getting clips together to use upsell camshows and all those other little fiddly things that need to get done --- I find that I have hardly enough time left to even cam!

    I am so overwhelmed on trying to stay on top of all the time that marketing myself takes and could really use some advice on how to be more efficient at it.

    I just made a thread about balancing adult and non-adult work but this topic is a biggie for me as well. Sadly, I do not promote at all, clips and pics are very time consuming for me. Have you considered sitting aside time just to do the extras? I think, if I ever figure out a balancing act to even cam again anytime soon, this is what I will have to do. I am overwhelmed as it is but I feel as though I am cutting my own throat here. Kudos to you for getting it done, even if it is time consuming!

    For me it's easy because I don't do a lot of extras. I just make myself look good to get on cam and that's it. I don't market myself, sis!

    I do set time aside for the extras, the problem is that there are so many extra things to do that it just eats a crazy amount of time so what I set aside is never enough.

    I find it is so hard to priorities what is important and what is not.

    I make pretty good money on the extra little things though. Just doing clips and pushing my cammodel link nets me hundreds of dollars extra a month.

    My suggestion is to take one day of the week to record your clips and take your pics for the week.. that way, the rest of the week can be focused on camming and tweeting. Send out a little each day of what you already made...pics, clips etc.

    Have you considered doing all the "extras" in one day? You could just dedicate one day a week to taking pics, filming clips (ugh--that's the only one of those things that I even do and it's my least favorite thing), setting up automatic tweets in Hootsuite (or whatever the kids are using nowadays--as I said, I don't do Twitter), etc and no camming, or you could only do indy camming or voyeur shows on that day so you have time for all that stuff. Then you won't even have to think about it much for the rest of the week and can use your time to cam.

    EDIT: Lol looks like SoloDesire beat me to it!

    Okay...I see where you are coming from now. Well, I know you say it is hard to prioritize what is important and what is not, but have you looked at which extras are earning you the most? That is what I would try to stay on top of and devote some, just not as much time to those that are not netting the most cash, or try to somehow incorporate the two.

    I have no problem with the recording clip part.....it is the processing and editing the clips that take forever. :/

    Oh, I definitely have. I only focus on four main things but there are so many little things to do within those four main things. :/

    I guess I should give some more details to show where I am stuck. I already have my encoder set up to record my stream everytime i am online. I use voyeur Gold Show to record clips for clips4sale. I've already got stuff like having my #FollowFriday and #TittyTuesday tweets already pre-queued till the end of the year. I have posts on my homesite queued up too.....it is the stuff like remembering to tweet every time I am online with fresh footage, having new clip packages uploaded and ready to upsell on Streamate and stuff like that where I keep tripping over.

    Since I record all my Streamate footage I have hours and hours and hours of footage to edit.I find that anything that takes a lot of time and focus like editing clips impossible to do in Gold shows because it burns out my focus to try and do that task while keeping track of when the timer is running out of my gold show too.

    I am glad I started this thread....I might be more organized then I thought I was. LOL!

    Try being here in UK with 0.8 upload!! It takes FOREVER to get things done! I am only just beginning to take things seriously in regards to clips and cannot believe how long everything takes and how much space! So I feel you on this subject totally.
    The 1 day a week thing is what I've been trying to do and then my oh takes my stuff to work (risky!) to upload otherwise we'd be waiting weeks!

    Tweets as you get online are easy though - quick selfie with whatever your cam outfit is and bam upload straight from your phone with cam link. I do this every few hours im online x

    Alternatively, if you're cool with getting all Machiavellian about it: plan out your outfits for the week and take the pics all at once. It's worked for a few compilation clips for me--this guy wanted me to make one short clip every day and put them together into a longer clip. Between each "scene" I just changed my clothes, switched the lighting up a bit and tousled my hair and got it done all at once then edited out the in-between parts. He liked it enough to buy several more like it and everyone was happy. Why do things the hard way?

    You know how cam girls say that you should get on cam even if you're only able to stay on for like 30 minutes to one hour (cuz you never know when someone will pop up and buy a 10-minute session)? Is it possible for you to keep yourself available on indy camming sites (such as CamModelDirectory by staying logged into Yahoo! Messenger/Skype) while you're editing/uploading? Or are you the type who has to stay 100% focused on that one activity (editing/uploading) with absolutely no interruptions?

    I'm just starting to get into clips and all that entails, and I'm a stay at home mom of two little ones…I find that I can get my clip editing done during the times that I can't be on cam because my kids are around. I'll usually take my kids outside in the backyard and haul my laptop down to the back porch - that way I can keep an eye on them and do some editing at the same time.

    I also take a few hours at the beginning and end of each month to schedule my tweets (even the random, everyday activity ones) on Hootsuite. I also don't cam during Shark Week because too much blood, so I use that once a month break to edit and take videos and photos that don't require nudity.

    This probably doesn't help you much, JAC, since our lives are a bit different and I don't cam nearly as much as you do…

    I find it easier to set a full day WITHOUT cam to do all this stuff, then just cam extra on the other days. Works better in my opinion anyways.

    I think maybe you're overwhelming yourself. Try to cut down a bit maybe? Do you really need to record ALL of your shows? I would go insane trying to sort through all of that! Maybe if you just take the one day, free of camming...to upload enough videos and pics for the week then you won't be so stressed. Then all you really need to do is take 10 minutes before hopping on cam to tweet your links and/or pics out the rest of the week. A few clips and pics a week are plenty in my opinion.

    Yes!!! I so agree with you. I cannot convert and cam at the same time so it seems to take me forever to get clips finished. I bought a second laptop to help but it has Windows 8 and I cannot figure that out.

    Maybe hit clips to upload before u go to sleep so all be done by the time you get up? If you are getting online on time consistently, why not preque tweets for cammodel and whatever. For editing the footages, make that a whole day or two with doing little extras in between rendering help you.

    This is a good idea.

    I struggle with the same thing, kinda ... I don't really do much marketing (bad camgirl, I know) but I struggle to get non-related cam things done, like cleaning and laundry.

    I'm working harder to promote my clips and upload more regularly, and i find that is eating into my twitter and blogging promo work. Uh...and I've been traveling, so my schedule is a hot mess. I have slow upload speed (fuck you, UK internet providers), so what i do is set my clips to convert/compress before i go to work in the morning (love you, handbrake) (i work a full time vanilla job) then i come home and cam or live my life, then i upload clips while i sleep. Next day i do all the descriptions and schedule then while available for Indy. I have 3 days off this week from vanilla and camming due to travel plans changing, and I'm hoping to spend 5 hours each day filming clips and taking photos. Then i will gradually edit and release. I used to film my shows, but i got totally overwhelmed by the sheer volume of footage, so i stopped that for my own sanity.

    Speaking of doing extras...does anyone know of a software program that will let you set your webcam to take photos at intervals? The native webcam software i have let's me set a3 sec delay, but only once. I want a diy photo shoot effect, the pics my webcam takes are better than my phone, and I'd rather take a ton in a row and sorry through them after, and it will be easier for a few pic set ideas i have that are too involved to jump up, press go, and get back in position.
