    Default How do you track your earning?

    Hey all,

    Just wondering how/if anyone tracks what they are making?

    Do you have a spreadsheet set up? Do you compare how much you are making each site, times, days of the week etc?

    How long you were on for vs how long you earn?

    And what you earn depending on what show you did?

    I figured it would be start to start tracking all this to maximise productivity and was hoping on some advice on where to start?

    Thanks!

    I have one of those daily planner notebooks that have a section for each day, like this - http://www.ipadforums.net/attachments/xudts-gif.12009/

    I keep it in the drawer of my desk and as soon as I'm done with my shift, I write down how much I made and how many hours I worked!

    Then, at the end of the week, I have a master spreadsheet (for SM) that I input how much I made that week.

    For other sites (clips, phone, my member's site) I have a monthly spreadsheet that I only update at the end of the month.

    Here's a daily income one that the amazing Tsani on here made:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...#gid=130243577

    And here's the one I use for my monthly deposits:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...Zqs/edit#gid=0

    **EDIT**
    I love having the notebook because if for some reason I didn't work, I can write down the exact reason why - I had company, I wasn't home, laziness, fatigue, period, etc. So that way if I'm looking at my spreadsheet and wondering why I took so many days off, I have excuses! The lazy days are written in RED to make me feel bad and motivate me to get online more

    I use Google calendars. I just put my earnings each day.

    Default Re: How do you track your earning?

    I keep basic records of what I make every day, simply by writing my daily earnings down on a physical calendar in my bedroom/camroom. I currently only make money through SM (camming) and C4S (passive clip income), so I have a different color pen to represent each one. For a while I was also writing down the amount of hours I worked next to the SM amount, but I actually found that more discouraging because my goals are ultimately based on earnings, not time spent online -- so my hourly average isn't that important to me. I find that using an actual calendar on the wall is more motivating than a digital calendar because it's in my face all the time.

    In the near future (by January 2016) I'd like to make an elaborate spreadsheet to track earnings with more specific variables, and also keep track of expenses and taxes.

    I have a spread sheet and physical calendar on my wall. I also use my computer's sticky notes to jolt down what I've made on each site right quick in a hurry in between sessions. With 3 calculators set up it's super motivating and a great way to know how much you're owed and what day payout is.

    Default Re: How do you track your earning?

    Last year I used spreadsheet that innocentindian posted above, it's amazing! I could even track my vanilla earnings and keep track of which site or job was leaving more any given week.

    alas, when 2015 rolled in I was not able to find an easy way to switch it all to the new year, so I stopped using it and now I miss it so much. I keep track of my earnings (vanilla and porn) in my head and you know how well that works. :/

    if anyone knows a straightforward way to change those calendars' years in Excel, please holler. My economy demands it. (Maybe I'll just take the time to do it manually from now on.)

    I've been searching in old threads for a website lots of camgirls were using, pretty sure you had to pay for it,but you could put in your hours & earnings & rates, it gave you so much information regarding your hours online & the most successful times to be online over the days/weeks/months. Anybody remember what it was?

    I use a spending app. Type in spending in the app store search and I believe it is the first one that comes up. You can track income and expenses. You allocate your expenditures into different categories and it automatically gives you a pie chart of your spending when you turn your phone side ways.

    I dropped the ball with making a new spreadsheet for 2015. Been dealing with lots of health issues among other things. Someone said they fixed it so that it works for 2015 but I forgot who that was. Anyways, For 2016 I'd like to put up a new one that's not specific to the year, it will be usable for any year. I know it's not convenient to not be able to see the actual dates on it, but maybe it would be good to use as a template? It's just a lot of work to manually change the dates and the amount of weeks to each month. Maybe I'll start with the universal one and use that as my template for making each future year easier.

    Though I make no promises. I'm still dealing with health issues and other projects. But I think I can get something together before next year. Also, I've seen some other awesome spreadsheets that other ladies have done. I'm also all for my spreadsheet being tweaked and changed to suit y'alls needs so have at it! I'm pretty sure the specific one that innocentindian linked to is a modified version of mine.

    HAHAHA another spreadsheet nerd, yes! I've got an unnatural girlie boner for spreadsheets as well, which is probably why I made it. I'm glad I could get you all juicy in your panties bb Hopefully I can get the new one ready before next year.

    I use Microsoft office. I created the spreadsheet for SM by month and week and day. Everyday I can enter the amount I earned and the hours I worked. The weekly earnings are shown below the week and so are the total hours. Then there is an extra column below that that shows me what I made per hour that week. At the end of each month is the grand total for the month (hours and $) and again the $ per hour amount for the month. Finally ending in a yearly grand total hours and time.

    I keep two other basic spreadsheets, one for my website and one for "other" work I do. but then I divide those up again for different currencies. I have to deal with USD/CAD/Euro on a daily basis which can get confusing but assuming you only deal in one currency I wont try to explain all that.

    I stopped tracking what I earned vs. show a long time ago. Also because Im on SM exclusively I get paid the same per show regardless of what I did but if you want to track that you would need a different spreed sheet where you list by month and per week the type of shows you offer. So for January you would have Mon. to Sun. along the top row and all the types of shows you would be willing to offering along the left, You would have to create categories for each, might be something like, Deepthroat, Penetration, Anal, BDSM, FemDom and ETC., Then have totals at the right for each of the categories and at the bottom of the whole spreadsheet you have a total for each category by month. However, this will just track $ per day, per show type not exactly $ per show type individually. For that forget the day, week chart and list the show type along the top with the amount you make per each show below and a total bar below that but your gaining way less info like this. You could still divide this up again by month and week but not by day unless you have a program that allows you to enter all kinds of data into each individual cell. This gets confusing to explain but it is possible if your really good at spreadsheets.

    Now to properly appreciate your info you really should lay it all out on a graph, I like line graphs but you can do what you like. Its amazing the insight you can gain here. From the earnings Spreadsheet you can track things like what is your best earning day of the week. The period your motivated to work. The best month of the year etc. Once you have more then one year under your belt (i have 8 years) then the info you can generate is amazing and its like getting a glimps into a big secret.

    I have to manually enter all the information to create my graphs but obviously if I had Excel it would be automatic. I am giving serious thought into purchasing that program (maybe I can put it on my wishlist, hmmm), But if you dont want to make the time and/or financial commitment that I do then one of the programs the other ladies listed will do the same. The best advice is just start, you wont regret having the information ever!

    This is so funny, because I actually just bought a bunch of stuff to track everything with (I'm the type that likes to do it by hand/just have a physical copy of it, plus my laptop is super disorganized)

    The funny thing is I'm actually super excited to start logging everything. I feel like such a nerd. I'm like a little kid about to start school with all my nifty new school supplies. Yeeeee!
