    Default Share your Worst Camgirl Bad Habits!

    So I thought it would be fun to post our bad habits and see if anyone can relate or have advice for us to kick the habit!

    Ill go first...

    I use to do this all the time in the past as well so I know this is my worst habit!

    Breaks - Ill do a show no matter how long it is and log off right after to have a 15 to sometimes 30 min break. Im a smoker so I keep telling myself just a 5min smoke break n next thing I know I'm logged off for longer. Ugh super frustrating I've been online for 2 hours today but only really worked an hour! This is my worst habit.

    Anyone else wanna share their bad habits?

    With the one time I cammed, something I know I did wrong was doing too much in free chat. I was exhausted within the first 10 minutes and I had nothing to show for it.

    I do that!

    When I was on MFC I also had a nasty habit of smoking on cam- told myself it was a way to bring in the fetishists, but it really wasn't, it was just a way for me to get my nicotine fix. If I was smoking, it always seemed to make more people come into my room so I would just have a cigarette if it was a bit quiet. I ended up smoking so many more a day. Also suspect that whatever extra I made by getting more people into my room just went on cigs...

    My habits were, and somewhat still are breaks and being way too block happy. "bb can u show ass" BLOCK! "bb smile" BLOCK! I do try to smile a lot but after a while my face is hurting, but it's not really a good reason to block imo. And if someone asks me to show or shake my ass, I could just ignore them and act as if they don't exist. So I am getting better at trying to block less people. I also use to block pple who asked if I do anal. Then I realized I was being to hard.

    Breaks, after each show I would break. Now I will do my best to not do that as much. I try to stick it out out 1 to 2 hours and then break and come back. Oh and snacking too much. Now I don't do that.
    Taking a break from all unproductive shit will prove to be the best choice you can make.

    I use to smoke on cam as well until some guy took me private and paid me to just sit there and smoke after that I have never smoked in free. Although if I did I wouldn't be having 30 min breaks all the time!

    Falling asleep, exhausted from shows, with my caked on makeup. Thinking, oh I will just take a nap and get up and turn the cam back on in an hour. NOPE

    Telling myself I am going to get on cam for 6 hours then hit my goal in 3 and log off.

    Not keeping my schedule, starting 30 minutes late... bec I constantly do that I loose lots of worktime
    hitting the break button to often
    getting discouraged when its slow
    doubting myself when it is slow
    stayaing inside the house the whole day even though it makes me feel more depressed
    beinga perfectionist and always worrying about my shows/performance/makeup etc etc etc
    reading sw way to much, hiding for myself and work, feels like I am doing something usefull but knowing I should just work and get online instead
    spending way to much time putting on makeup bec I want it to be flawless which isnt going to happen anyway XD and I know they guys even like it when I wear less

    OH worst camgirlhabit; earning much and feeling down when the paycheck lowers even though it is still way higher than you would get from any regular job..
    oh and to add, to take it personal when making less and getting angry at youreself beat youreself up about it

    Not signing on, or finally signing on waaaaay past my regular time so none of my regs are even on.

    Not signing on to all of my sites... sometimes I'll sign on to Skype but not even bother to bump my CMD ad or sign on to YIM for the first hour. And I'm almost never on MGF even though it takes the same effort to be on there or not be on there.

    Not getting dressed/making my bed/setting up my cam until my first show. It demotivates me so I don't hustle as hard ("ehhhh... do I really want to do a show for this guy? I'd have to make my bed and everything...") and then I have to run around like the Tasmanian devil trying to clean up once I do have a show. Also applies to in between shows... I almost never clean up or get dressed between shows so then I have to make guys wait a few minutes after they've paid to get their show. No one's ever seemed to mind but I'm sure it comes across as unprofessional sometimes.

    Not logging in to free chat sites (or even IML on "break mode") at the same time as indy/MGF. I know I could double my earnings but free chat sites take so much out of me. I can easily last 6-10 hours just doing Skype/MGF shows but on free chat sites I'm ready to drop after maybe 3 hours and I just dread it.

    Using Payoneer. The fees are insane but it's so convenient... I really have to do something about that. I'm thinking of saving up a cushion then getting a Capitol One 360 account and switching to direct deposit.

    Not marketing myself. At all. Which is especially bad for someone who relies on indy as much as I do. :/

    Not doing clips/photo sets/etc until someone specifically requests a custom.

    Wasting my time between shows... I could be doing promo, I could be filming clips and taking photos, I could be texting or doing phone sex or something, but instead I mostly just watch TV and browse the Internet.

    Basically just laziness.

    Whenever I'm in a long private and run out of things to do or get tired I end up with laying around doing nothing for the last 2-3 minutes in the chat. Literally just like give a blank stare into the camera fml. It's such a bad habit because the last few minutes are what the guys will remember the most and I want to try to be more exciting and leave a better impression
    I'm going to try to talk back and forth more and slow down so that I don't show all my cards all at once but what's a better way to survive long paid chats?

    Give yourself a break between orgasms (or "orgasms".) Personally I need a few minutes' recovery time before any more below-the-belt stimulation will be effective so I tell guys that and switch to playing with my boobs/spanking my ass/encouraging him. Sometimes we both just take a breather and end up talking for a few minutes. Speaking of which, I talk a lot. No really, a lot. I ask questions constantly. The only time I shut up is if I need to concentrate to cum or if I'm listening to him speak. If you're sitting on your bed in a flattering pose, talking, smiling and laughing, they're going to have a positive impression of it. I also tend to bounce around a lot--hard to describe but I'm literally bouncing on my knees. I flip my hair around, blow kisses, etc. I'm always playing with my boobs or running my hands along my legs or whatever. It gives off an energetic vibe but really takes very little energy.

    I don't really tire myself out during privates. Sometimes during very long ones (hour plus) or ones where the guy wants me to cum over and over and over and over and over I'll get tired but in that case I just tell him I need a minute to catch my breath and switch to the stuff I mentioned above. I also rarely do anything physically taxing (like fast fingering) for more than a few minutes at a time.

    I also move veeeeeery slow most of the time. He wants pussy play? OK, he can get it... after I take off my pants... and my shirt... and my bra... and my panties... and I've shown off my body/gyrated around a bit... and played with my boobs... and spanked my ass... and show off my pussy/sloooowly finger in a few different positions... then maybe after a while I might finally get around to giving him a cum show.

    At the very least, talk and smile instead of just staring into the camera! There's always something to talk about. How amazing that last orgasm was, how hot it is to see him stroking for you, etc. This is just stuff that works for me, do what comes naturally to you

    My worst Camgirl bad habit is self-sabotaging my goals.
    Example: "Okay, tomorrow is Sunday so I need to make $200 on SM per day five days this week to make my $1k a week SM goal."
    Wakes up the next morning. "Fuck, I don't feel like logging in, I'll start tomorrow and just make my goal $250, or I'll make today my only day off and work the rest of the week."
    "Fuck, it's already Tuesday and I haven't logged in at all. I'll just work until Saturday and make my daily goal $200 again with no more days off."

    Not getting on when I'm meant to.
    Not staying for my whole scheduled shift.
    Taking unplanned days off.
    Failing to tweet as much as I should.
    Getting impatient and angry when it's slow.
    Big One: Not camming at the start of my work week and then stressing late in the week. If I can work at least Sunday, if not Sunday and Monday, then I stress less.

    My worst right now is getting angry and focusing too much on things that I can't change. Like how many hours there are in a day. Getting overwhelmed and shutting down when I don't hit my goal.

    Procrastination. I'll be ready to log on but then I get anxious and start browsing the web first...next thing I know 2 hours have passed! Also having trouble sticking to my schedule. I procrastinate and tell myself "ohh, you don't feel up to logging on now? You can always get on later today." and when later comes I'm stressing out because most of the day is gone!

    My biggest one is justttt earning enough to scrape by. If I stayed on 5 more hours a week-ish I could start a significant amount of savings and/or buy some non-essentials that I could really benefit from. Like a second car for my household.

    Taking a dog's age to get ready. I don't cam from home so sometimes I let little tasks pile up. I intersperse them with procrastination. I arrive at my cam studio and 4 hours later I'm online. Here's what I do, normally. Arrive, tidy up, start uploads to clip sites, browse twitter or SW etc., clean or lay out toys, pick out an outfit, fire up my Hitachi, perv on some camgirls, watch a Gold Show or a few minutes of True Blood or something, upload more vids, update clipstores, clean out my butt, straighten my hair, set up lights, back to the Hitachi, pour a glass of wine, do my makeup, answer some emails, get dressed, fiddle with cam, check lighting, pose for a while to see if I look OK in this or that pose in the lighting, take selfies, THEN get online. I know I can cut out a lot of that "routine". My problem is I get performance anxiety (only before I cam, not during, and only when I am not camming regularly, which is like always these days) and so I procrastinate while I get ready. I just typed "dready" which sort of describes it perfectly, haha. It's such a time-waster though, I could be putting in a mega-awesome shift and I end up with just a few hours to cam before it gets to late and I run out of energy.
    Another bad habit of mine is obsessing about details getting ready. Do I really need to paint my nails and toes and do my makeup so meticulously when it doesn't even show up on HD cam? I feel I do because it's part of the "ritual" of getting ready for the performance. It's all the extras that are a bad habit, yet it's frustrating because I don't like feeling the anxiety of the constant rush to get ready, it doesn't help me get into the necessary mindset to cam. This is why I don't cam many days of the week. it's just such a production.

    Not having enough self-motivation to on enough, only getting on for 2 hours then signing off and then complaining when I don't have enough money. That $1000/ week challenge got me thinking though and I've made a generalized plan.

    For me I sit there and do my makeup watching the other ladies in free. Getting ramped up, end up sitting there for an hour or longer. Example ready to rock and looking good at 10 am, don't actually log on till 2 pm after nap and lunch. Fuck I'm lazy, but it takes time to log on with this shit eating grin and make money. When I do I'm good, one wouldn't think you still get nervous after 2 years but I still do.
