    Default Goals in camming

    When everyone logs on, do you each have specific goals? Hourly, weekly, average etc. Do you stay on until you reach an amount or do you stick to hitting hours.


    How long did it take you to reach your goals? I am willing to put in the time and hours, and I know I'll be sitting around a lot, but if I know good income is coming, then no issues!


    Think it would be nice for everyone to share their stories of how they started and length etc. might motivate us to stay on longer or don't give up!

    I've only been camming for about a year and a half, but I have noticed drastic improvement when I actually stick to my hours and put in the time it takes!

    The first year I cammed, I only cammed when I wanted some extra money for luxuries and things I wanted but didn't need. Now that I have my own apartment and have to pay rent, I cam in order to earn a living wage, and treat it like an actual job rather than a hobby.

    When money is tight, I log on with the sole intent of making as much cash as possible, no matter how many hours it takes (like right now, with Xmas around the corner!)

    When I've actually budgeted and don't need to freak out too much about money, I log on each shift with the intent of putting in my scheduled hours, and try not to worry too much about the money, because each day will be different, and there's no point in beating yourself up and getting depressed over a slow day when tomorrow might be much better!

    I have a daily goal, and they're always different. I challenged myself to hit $5,000 in December so I divvied it up over the weeks and days taking into account when I think it will be slower. I do MFC almost exclusively now so I try not to drag it out by putting in more hours if the money seems to have dried up (so my camscore stays reasonable) - I take a break, read a book and come back. This has been SO much better for my mental health - cranky trying-to-make-goal Jackie is way less chill and less likely to get money than whatevs-I-got-fed-who-wants-to-see-my-tits Jackie.

    For example - next week my goal is $1,150 so I distributed it into:
    Sunday - $350
    Monday - $200 (I have really great Mondays for some reason)
    Tuesday - $150
    Wednesday - $150
    Thursday - $150
    Friday - $150 (Christmas - could be tough)

    I'm hoping to smash my Sunday and Monday goals just in case this week is even slower than I accounted for. I don't have days off from my day job until Christmas Eve so I'm stuck at 3ish hours camming a night Mon-Wed so I'm not a zombie at the office.

    Ah I love it! It's awesome to be able to see how far you've came and realizing that camming IS a job. Couldn't work a vanilla job 5 hours a week and same is with camming. That is until you stick to it and get that!

    I am trying to get away from money goal to hours actually. I had a very well paid office job (very well for office, I can make more on cam and I do with 20 hours a week on cam), and I was working crazy hours like 60+ and I know if I worked same much on cam...damn 5 figures a month will be totally possible. Money goal is still there, but sometimes you log on and you make your high goal (which is 300 for me) in like 4-5 hours or less and you log off, when a right thing to do is to stay more. You can always catch a whale, and whales save you during quiet times.
    New year resolution for me is hours instead money, while money is running of course. I am going to treat it as job I swear, putting in 40 hours a week at least. More I work easier it gets with custies and overall staying on cam.

    It can be extremely tempting to keep checking your Earnings tab while you're camming. And it can be really demotivating on slow days! I used to sit for 2 hours and see only $36 and get really annoyed. The "Staying The Fuck On" thread is really great because it's a numbers game - your first 2 hours might suck, but in the next 30 mins a good regular could pop in and make up for the sucky hours!

    I've resisted looking at my earnings tab and resorted to keeping a timer on my phone - every 2 hours go by, I take a 20 minute break and then log back on for another 2 hours. I don't even look at money until I've finished at least one shift (4 hours in the morning, 4 hours at night). It's much easier to stay online, even if it's slow, when you're not depressed by earnings!

    Now I'm not saying don't study how much $$$ you make and when - writing it down is a great tool for future use, so you know what hours of the day are typically slow/fast for you. It's great for noticing patterns - if you see that your afternoons are not doing so well for 2 weeks in a row, it's probably best to change your hours online or your hustle.

    Just keep the money obsessing for when you're offline! Don't let it distract your hustle, because it is very very easy to get annoyed and sad over earnings by the hour, and that is not a super attractive look on cam Build up the hours in your main money maker, and make sure to keep other side business going (phone, text, clips, etc.) for when your main site is slow!

    I have a weekly goal, although I frequently tell myself 'the goal is flexible'. I have found that I have a more enjoyable time on cam when I log on without worrying about time fames and money. If it is quiet I will log off and have a cuppa and then log back on.

    I have been camming for 2 years, although I have only been consistently earning my goal and higher for the last year. The time I started making more money was when I logged on with the intention of having fun and meeting new people. I love engaging with people and keeping a positive, happy vibe in my room. I avoid interacting with rude and demanding individuals as it takes my attention away from potential customers. I try to always have the same days off so that my regulars always know when to seek me out!

    Yes ladies! I agree! If I'm on for 30 minutes and don't have a guest, I'll log off annoyed. And then complain it's slow and I make no money. I have a goal. I am going to cam for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Break it into two 4 hour shifts. I'm not going to check my balance until the end of the week! I just want to blow my own mind
