I've worked in Social Services, where everything is all about income verification. They wouldn't have accepted the check stubs from SM because, like Melonie said, they aren't real pay stubs from an employer. An employer pay stub would show info like salary or hourly rate, how many hours you work per week, how often you get paid, and that kind of thing. They are at least a little reliable, because an employer is going to make sure that you show up for a reasonably consistent number of hours. We all know that, as contractors, no one makes us show up, and we can take off weeks or months if we feel like it.
This may or may not apply, but at Social Services, we would normally verify self-employment income using a tax return showing business income. Since the OP hasn't worked a whole year or filed taxes yet, the next best thing would have been business records since the start of the business. You might want to ask if they'd accept that.
Business records would normally include a list of all income that you've received from camming, and all expenses that you've paid specifically for camming. Under expenses, you don't need to go crazy counting parts of your utilities and internet and stuff. Just stick with actual camming supplies and expenses, like your cam and your dildos and other stuff you use just for camming. Your record should also show the date you started camming and the date that you wrote the business record so they can tell how long it took you to earn that amount of money. I don't know if that would be sufficient or acceptable, but if you're having difficulty verifying income, providing business records is an option worth investigating.
