    Without knowing certain details it is hard to tell id this is Normal/High/Low

    Is 160 working two hours or 20?

    When I started I averaged around 20-25 dollars an hour, keep in mind it is summer and summer is usually slower

    It took me about a month to make $100 dollars on SM.

    Hi and welcome.

    I'll chime in. I started out at around $80/week for 1st 2 weeks. But at that time I only logged in to cam about 3 days at 2 hour stretches (sometimes less). I was frustrated w/ my equipment.

    But, I then stuck with a fairly regular schedule (Mon - Fri for about 2 - 2.5 hrs). I then made average of $160 - $180/week.

    Just last week, I hit $250. Same hours. I built up my regulars, got approved for Gold Shows.

    To many other ladies, this is low. But it's what I need to supplement my vanilla job.

    Keep in mind things like: your per min rate, the number of hours you log in to cam.... as well as the time slot you're selecting... and how consistent you are (this helps your regulars find you)

    All of that factors in... as does your equipment.

    Personally, I think you're doing great so far.
    xoxo...

    so 2003 my first check from camming was $300

    then it climbed up over time to $1500 for 2 weeks - working cams.com

    Now fast forward to today I am about $500 a week. but I really do need to get up there back to my numbers I had years ago when I started.

    but I have narrowed down what is missing when I cam now that I had back then.

    my rate is higher now, and I honestly need to be more fun when I am on cam. I have no worries compared to what I had when I started and I need to really focus on my gratitude when I log on so I can see those results I use to have.

    I think between 15 and 30 an hour. The thing about camming is it's inconsistent. Your wage most likely will fluctuate day to day, you have to look at the median average of the first month to really have a good picture of what your average $s per hour is.

    Don't get discouraged! Some girls hit the ground running and some need time to build a following. You'll find your niche.

    I have been going a week and done really well over all but one night I sat and got NOTHING and last night I did well in the end after two hours of not earning a penny so I think its about sticking with it. Late at night is much better than early evening. I'm going to try and get on another site too as AW is very up and down it seems from crazy busy to nothing.

    Stick with it it's summer. Today (after almost 4 years of camming) i made less in 5 hours than I did in my first days of camming. You have days and days stick with it (i tell myself that constantly).

    I was making $20/hr when I started last summer. In the winter I was seeing $100/hr on occasion, with an average of $40/hr.

    This summer I've been rocking $15/hr on average, imagine my delight.

    My first ever day on cam October 18 2014 ta-da!! (on Imdead and with 90 mins at 0-98 please note girls!) was 200 bucks (I was sitting in freechat talking to everyone, it was sooooo funnnny). I was kinda blown away, then it was up and down with days like 20-50 bucks in few hours and 100 days seen as great days!. I used to struggle with getting on cam, sticking to the schedule, putting hours and being patient, getting burnt out and etc.
    Nov, Dec were like 1000, then Jan at 1500 and after I have got to 2000 Feb-May (I was super lazy in June and it was like 1200). All on Imdead until July. Now July is half way through and I am close to 3000 atm and I hope to end up with 5000.
    I have been always intersted in getting better so I invest...new cam (LG920 instead of 520 or smth), new light (not a pro, but I spent hours with youtube tutorials and playing around, when my make up is fucking shit guys think I am a goddess lmao), I think about what to wear and make up, I make pics (I hate dat shit) and update profiles, I have started social networking (I hate dat shit as well, I even dont have FB in RL), I have read this forum a lot and added 2 more sites to my busket (I wish I did that earlier). In Jan 100 night was good, in July 300 is my goal, I cant make it every day and yes I still get tired, yet compare to January, 100 is like I show up briefly and dont want to work at all.

    Good luck girl!

    I'm also new to camming and I am on SM (I've been on for a week) and I've been averaging about $20-$30 an hour, sometimes as low as $6 sometimes as high as $65. I've gone on for at least four hours almost every day, and I track my earnings meticulously. My first check is going to be $315 (from a half pay period, since I started mid-week, that's from 11 hours between 3 days), and so far this pay period I have worked a little under 15 hours in 4 days and have made $430. I think it helps that I set my hours regularly and stick to them (even if I can only schedule a day or so in advance, which hopefully won't be an issue much longer). I also ask members for ratings/tags/comments after every show (if they stick around after they cum) which has helped as well. I have only gotten five star ratings (I think like 15 in the week I've been on SM) and 10 or so tags. If you can get people to start doing this, I think it helps, but again, I'm a newbie too so I definitely don't know a ton.

    That said, the past two days have been terrible for me on SM and I only managed $30 in 3 hours today, and had to work like 6.5 hours yesterday to make $97 (whereas on Sunday I made $215 in that time) so the fluctuation is REAL.

    For the record, I also have good internet, the HD encoder and decent lighting, but I use my i5 computer and the built-in webcam and mostly cam during the daytime. Not sure if any of that helps?

    This gives me so much hope. And I feel less bummed for generally making about 15$/hr as a newbie. One question, when you guys say your averages, is that your cut or just total what you make from the site? (ie: you got 20gold on SM in an hour. do you count that as $20 an hour or $7?) Just wondering.

    At least in my case I am referring to my 35% cut. As in, if I say I made $7, the customer actually paid $20.

    It's our cut
    We all work on sites that take a % we all knew when we decided to get into this. Even if your independent and camming your billing process takes a cut.

    To be business online there will always be something taking a cut. so why focus on what your not getting.

    I made between $50-$100 a week for about 6 months consistently. I was in a studio though so they took 10% of my earnings. Its much better now.

    Ive started camming 7-20-2015, cammed mostly in the afternoon, not everyday, and not going to work on a schedule (will create a schedule clients seem to like that), I worked around 24 hours total, (some days 2 hours and other like 4-5) and made roughly 6000 tokens, would be like $300, and an amazon gift card of $100, did fuck up many times, didnt do extensive research before starting, more like learning on the go, but I have been reseraching a lot, and I think I will get better. This was mostly in Chaturbate and one day MFC. Now I am accepted on SM so I will try to schedule like days to be on diferent sites, and stick with it, and see which sites work better for me, IDK if being in 3 is too much for starting out...
