Damn, power outage in my area so can't stream. May resolve in 2 hrs, but not guaranteed. Ugh, I don't wanna stream eve. Hump
I'll GTFO as soon as I can.
Best ladies!

Thanks for the support everyone! I'm okay, just thinking out loud about the struggles of sex work and self employment when your brain happens to work different than the norm! Hugs <3 x





This is why you are exhausted. That used to be my style too when I was part time, bubbly. But to do full time hours and that level of HYPE, the only way to maintain it is heavy drug use like the twitch gamers and youtubers you see who are all UP all the time like that, MANY of them are on adderall or drugs. Nobody is up ALL the time even those of us who are naturally social and friendly.
I had to make BIG changes to my cam style to do over 10 hour days completely sober. I didn't just start 10 hrs 1 day. I worked up. When I 1st started cam I could barely do 1 hour. I'll list some changes I made for those of you who want to work up to it maybe it will help!
Sit down or lay down more. I only stand up for 7 hrs of a day max. My chair was uncomfortable so I got a new 1. It was worth investing in.
Ignore *some* people on purpose. I learned doing it intentionally forces them to tip to get my attention and surprisingly works well. If someone gets offended that I'm busy for 60 seconds they are not the kind of customer I want anyway.
Type less, speak less. If I spoke to everyone my voice would go out. Even saying 'hi' out loud to each person is too much. Between the fake moaning and orgasm screaming you cannot talk to everyone. I make as many copy paste responses as possible for chat. I'm still searching for the balance of speaking and typing.. as I said before my hands can't take 5 days at 10 hrs.
Smile less. Smiling only some of the time. If I smile all day my face muscles will be sore which only makes me cranky for tomorrow.
Close up the cam on different body parts. Change up my position, or keeping my face out of cam altogether lets me relax it for awhile.
Distracting myself when nobody is in the room so I dont notice how dead it is. Staring at an empty room drives me nuts, so I don't. I write video scripts in the meantime, twitter statuses, take pix, record a video, read a book, draw just SOMETHING ELSE.
I often felt like I NEEDED to interact with everyone since anyone could be a spender but you dont NEED to. With everything going mobile these days more users than ever can access us just for something to do/kill time. Not all of them will convert. I needed to save myself from burnout. They dont all deserve your attention just for being in your room.
If you know what triggers you to exhaustion you can start to find ways to work around it you can work up your hours. If every time you get up and dance you dont get taken private or tipped it is potentially wasted energy. So I just tracked what worked best for me and what didnt. Experimented and made notes on everything. I'm sure the models who do 15 hr days have even more better tips than I do that's only what I've learned so far
I admire your optimistic attitude <3 AND ON THE 1ST OF THE MONTH TOO YOU KILLED IT !! I have a goal this year to do more time than I did last year and see what happens. You just know it's been 15 mins too on SM cuz we have the setting where after 15 they disappear from the chat list SMH
Yes the ringlights really strain me too. So far I've not found 1 that lights my stream nicely that doesn't hurt my eyes. When I dim them to the lowest setting it doesn't affect the look of my camStill looking for better lighting options. Also, do you use a 'blue light filter' setting on your monitor? It's worth a try if you are in a dark room or stream at night.





In regard to your style & energy conservation: resounding yes! I cannot do 8-10 "on" the whole time.
I practically lounge the whole time, do not show my eyes, & only smile & talk sultry to those who engage first.
I tried altering my style back to how I used to cam: show more body & face, smile a lot, talk more & I made the same amount but felt totally drained after a couple hours.
In regard to my day yesterday: THANK YOU! I was surprised myself. I am sticking with more optimism & less frustration as I feel much better. I'm going back to my roots. I used to be very positive & I let myself go. It's much healthier to let anger go.
You've got a good plan. You're pretty determined so I see it working out for you.

Thank you for your tips, they are very useful! I always show my face and full body, and smile when someone comes to my room. I great everyone, and ask and type how are they doing. Its very exhausting, and after 4-5 hours I feel really tired. I will change my style because I want to do more hours.
Im just a little bit afraid that potential spenders will leave the room if Im not engaging. Anyways, its worth trying, thank you!





In my experience they will leave your room, but you never know when they will come back and spend, but I actually enjoy that they leave because it means I interact with less people for $1 here and $1 there, instead I'm feeling I'm generally getting better treatment and longer shows with spenders because I'm exerting less effort it feels more like a win for me.
Do you regret the change? I used to think like 'oh this isnt how I want to appear on cam, this isnt "me"' but this is what I have to do to pull these kind of hours. Ultimately I dont regret it because I make more money now.




Thank you very much MissAdriana! I will adjust my style deffinitively because I really have wrinkles now from msilling non stop, is an automatism now. I gotta get more hours and exposure and I will have to do as you said, is no other option, thank you very much for sharing all the tips! I got in a break, had one hour block with a regular (got him via referral on my old account_, but the extra money from referral doesn't appear as is new account and maybe, just maybe the support will give me, i will have an answer on Monday. I won't think about that. however, i have 180$, had one hour break, will go again live and breaks ertc, need 5 more hours and i will have 30 hours today. I am gutted that always when I sleep little and am tired then I have traffic, but in the days where i am rested is no traffic, bummer!) have a feeling will be traffic this weekend ladies!
Update- i should fo 2 more hours but I'm knackered. Did 2 gold shows and had a generous regular tipping me loads. I got total 330$ (i should get 110$ more from referral if support will grant) so I am super happy! Andni will get a night sleep yay! There are still generous guys!

Sex work is the worst and the best job ever! I’ve been in the sex trade in different ways for twenty years and I find it empowering, liberating and it’s given me so much . I think it all depends on your mind set, your background and your expectations. It’s such a personal thing. For me, I thrive on it, maybe it’s having power over men haha who knows but I wouldn’t want to do anything else. I feel really blessed to be able to do it and have made lots of money over the years. That’s just my two pence. Hope it helps xx





I make a bit more now than the first year I tried being "on" all the time. I tried being "on" for a period of almost 3 weeks & made a little less than I normally do conserving energy & showing only cleavage, mouth, & nose.
I do NOT regret how my style is now or how it has been. I have a lot of energy for the big spenders who usually do shows. I am very animated & sexy in shows. I am very chill in free unless talking which helps me close the sale. I only talk to buyers. I save energy for the buyers.
I do well for myself on just SM alone. I am keeping my style cause I'm not draining myself for free.
To add:
When I split SM & MFC I am "on" the whole time. Last time I did it for 2 whole hours splitting & netted $29! You see? I was tired & disappointed.
I will NOT do that again!

Damn, internet down all day and now I have no motivation to do this night shift. After gym I was just lazy all day waiting for Wifi...fuck!
Plans to STFO from 5pm-10pm CST. Meditated already so I'm gonna try to do it all in one shot. Did just get a foot fetish EXCL so I'm at $37. Not a bad way to start the eve, but I've gotta stay on despite no motivation.
No expectations just hopes. Going to remain in a good mood and try to keep a positive mindset about tonight.
Let's fuckin GOOOOOO!!!
UPDATE:
Well, 1 hr in and still $37 and truly ready to just get the fuck off. Damn, seriously doubting I can do this. It's pretty dead and a couple timewasters have started to bug my good vibe.
Might just go to bed early and stream 10 hrs tomorrow. UGH!!!
UPDATE:
IDK how I'm still here lololll. 2 hrs in and just $68. It feels weird tonight. I got a troll I had to ban and two members are saying they're new and can't do shows. It seems like April fools today. Yesterday was smooth AF. Tonight? IDK the freaks are fucking with me and I don't like it.
I did get a new foot fetish member to do this however, which might be the only reason I'm staying on:

Haha sweet! Yeah, I can tell in just a few exchanges who is going to do a show. I flat out get right to the point so I don't waste my breath. I used to try the chatty Cathy approach, but it just drained the shit out of me and made me resent camming. It didn't necessarily end up in more sales either. Ut uh, not anymore.
I've even seen some Dommes say they won't even talk unless tipped. They'll type haha. I'm not the only Domme who doesn't want to expend energy for free.
Sha





Yea, I'm using it, too.
Camming uses enough energy as it is!
MANY MEN WANTED TO LAY ME DOWN, BUT FEW WANTED TO LIFT ME UP
-Eartha Kitt





I am Domme also and I type more than I talk. I usually only talk when tipped. I need to cut down even on typing and stop responding as much, especially when they ask stuff like "How do I go private?" I think it's pretty obvious!
I have also been camming for a long time and can usually tell who's going to spend but sometimes they surprise me.
It's a constant learning experience.





Well I bailed last night after 2.5 hrs. It was bad for me and my anxiety was high. I slept 9 hrs and feel good. Going for 10 hrs today. Gonna try 8:30am-6:30pm CST. I've got 19.5 hrs logged and wanted 30 hrs this week. Today is my last chance to mke $700 this week. I'm pretty close, so hopefully the guys are generous and I make more.
No expectations, just hopes. Gonna try to remain in good spirits the whole shift.
Let's GOOOOO!!!
UPDATE:
1 hr 15 min and $88 which isn't bad, but I can't seem to get the guys to stay longer than a few minutes. I've had several shows but all minute men. I'm stalling too haha. FUCK!
Lots of feet shows tho. I'm def having fun!
UPDATE:
2 hrs 10 min and $138 which is decent. I have no expectations just hopes to do really well today. Still in a good mood. Going for 8 more hrs. Hopefully a whale spoils me rotten. I think I can do this![]()

Slowly transitioning back into night shifts which have been successful but getting enough sleep after? I'm failing in that department so far. Riding it out through the exhaustion for 8-9hrs today. 2hrs down!





You can do face exercises for that. Search it on youtube they show you what to do for free. I've only been doing it 3 months and already see a difference. Great job you must be super happy!! I hit 240 yesterday I tried so hard to hit 300 but it didnt happen, oh well. Looking for 120 today to beat last year but I only need 60 to beat the week, we'll see what happens. Happy Easter ladies!![]()
