    Question Working 9-5/Living With Family

    Hey guys. Basically: life sucks & I'm moving in with family this weekend. I am so nervous about it so I thought I'd ask for some advice from the most brilliant people I know.

    My first issue is making sure my camming gear is packed somewhere I can find it, but not discovered by my family as they are helping me move in with them (and while I'm living with them!) They are coming to get me this Saturday, so my plan is to carefully pack all my camming gear (And anything else illicit) in my car on Friday. So they have no chance of coming across it and I can pull my shit out my car when I am ready to get back to work.

    Second issue is the fact that well, I will be living with them! They work long hours, Monday to Friday, and they are basically giving me their basement. While I am grateful to have this safety net I am so afraid that I won't be able to make the money I need to make to move back out! I am telling myself that it is just for 12 weeks. 3 months to live rent-free, save up money, plan my next steps and take care of myself in a clean/safe environment. I'm just curious if anyone has any advice or experience with strictly working 9-5? I figure this will be good because it will get me on a consistent cam schedule, which I have been lacking. But I am also afraid that I won't make money because I won't be able to work nights and weekends. Like, I'm going to work on improving my NiteFlirt and stepping up my phonesex/clips game.....but I still won't be able to work nights and weekends at all with my family in the house.

    My (insane) goal is to make ~$1K a week for 12 weeks, save up $10K so that when the new year comes: I am ready to put $2K down on a new place and have a cushion in place so I hopefully am NEVER in this horrible position again.

    I am literally in the exact situation as you (staying at family's house for 2 - 3 months so I can save up to get my own apartment, living in their basement, they go to work/school all day and come home at 4pm/5pm)

    9 - 5 works! Stick to your schedule - it took a few days for my regs to find me again, but they did and you will get new regulars! Don't worry about the nighttime and weekends - for me, it was just too risky to work during those times, so I gave up on it. Just focus on what time you DO have, and hustle as much as possible during those times!

    Worrying about making $x per hour and telling yourself "if only I could work after 10pm, I could make $xx per hour!" is a waste of time to think about. Just don't do it. I did that, and I wasted the whole month of September worrying about 'fixing' my schedule, when I should have just sticked to working the hours that were available to me.

    This month I finally accepted my 'fate' of working the morning/afternoon shift, and hey! It's just fine! I'm still hitting my goals and making enough $$$ to move out by December, which is my goal! Sure, I would probably make more at night/weekends, but I will worry about that once I move, which is what working in the mornings/afternoons is allowing me to do

    Also, as you said, start branching off into making clips/PSO work. I've done a bit of PSO at night (quietly, in a whispery kind of way) and some audio clips, it's not much, but it's making $$$ that I won't be able to during the weekends!

    Oh wow, our situations are VERY similar. It's nice to know i'm not alone. I was on the phone with my sister and her husband, crying about how I am going to be homeless next week and they were trying to convince me to lose my pride and come stay with them. They finally said "We work all day, we're NEVER here, it's an empty house for you!" and I was like. OK. Fine. Maybe this is doable.

    Now my only fear is my family somehow finding out what I'm doing online. lol. I just need to keep up my "I'm doing freelance customer service, writing and editing work." and not arouse any suspicion about what it is I'm doing all day.

    Focus on the hours that you CAN work. Nights and weekends do not always mean more money. I used to have a roommate who is a school teacher that works 9-5 so I'd have the whole house to myself. I actually loved it and make good money because less girls were on. I recently just moved out on my own so I will be working a lot more mornings and afternoons. I'm more upbeat and energetic during the days. Take advantage of the time not having to pay rent and just do your best. Focus on the positive and a CAN-DO attitude will go a long way!

    These girls are saying awesome stuff. I'd like to add that your ability to work at night isn't totally done for. Silent voyeur shows (i.e., you not talking to them) can still get you money, as well as voyeur shower shows (where you can lock the door!), cleaning shows, etc. will work great. You just need to make sure that they don't walk downstairs while you're doing them. If you do the shows without audio and position the camera away from the door, you shouldn't have a problem even if they do come downstairs. It won't be a lot, but that could be an extra $30 per night if you do several hours of it.

    You can always cam without audio at night. I cam without audio and it's never been a problem. I wish more girls would try it! Your ability to adapt is very important!

    I usually make majority of my income in the mornings (from 8-11)

    I cam without audio since I'm living with family. I usually work late at night when everyone's asleep. I usually meet my high goal despite my circumstances. I don't use any toys and rarely do cum shows. I've been working fairly consistently for something like 2 to 2.5 weeks now and I'm just shy of $3000. IT'S DOABLE, GIRL!

    Love this thread...its inspiring me and making me realise that no matter when I work if I go hard it will pay off. I have a bad habit of talking myself out of working if its ot the right time/day etc.

    Hello everyone. Just felt like offering a cute little update. I moved yesterday and now I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my family reading SW. lol. I feel so much better now that I'm out of my shit hole apartment. It will still be a bitch camming only when family isn't home/awake but I will make it work.
