    Default What is the most work for the least bit of $$$

    I'm just recently getting back into camming after a long extended leave and feel like a complete newbie again. Last week I worked almost 26 hours and saw roughly $215 for it, which is the most I ever earned on SM. Just curious what other gals might have done because it's so easy to get discouraged. Granted, I never made much camming but I'd like that to change.....I'm having panic attacks because this is my only job and I can't support myself on this income.

    7 sites at the same time??

    ^^^ God, that is amazing, seen maaany windows open in ur taskbar in the print screens, how can u pay attention to soo many?
    I am in this for 15 years myself but the max i was on live with was 3 (when no true HD existed) and i was lost already, to deal with all that people and pay attention to every site rules & regulations & coordinate them all, u must be very skilled there.
    How many pc's, screens u use?
    I only have one pc and one 17 inches screen so for me i can only do two sites at once now.
    Thinking to connect my flat tv screen to my PC as the 2nd screen but will need to see how to do the setup in my room which is also the livingroom where we watch tv here when i dont cam.
    Congrats for being able to multitask at that level, i cant LOL

    Splitcamming if u can Scarlet, doing more sites but one at a time if u cant splitcam, moving onto a new site eventually, i am in the process of doing this myself as SM is too unreliable and glitchy lately to 'afford' to rely on it only, it's hit or miss there for me, either very good or very bad shifts but not as consistent as i want it to be, in the process of adding a new site here myself.

    I tried to Splitcam, but I think my computer isn't up for it. I have an i7 but as we know all computers aren't created equal. Perhaps moving on to a new site? I have no idea. I tried to splitcam doing AW even tried cams.com but the site was way too busy/loud for me, IMO.

    If you are having trouble with your computer then my suggestion would be start working on your indy camming. It takes a longer time to be able to build up a customer base then on big box sites so even though it may not pay out immediately it is something you can do when you are camming the big-box sites since you can just log off when someone books an indy show.

    OP, split cam and work multiple eggs at once. Phone sex, texting, free chat, tip sites, making clips and or working independently (skype shows) will do the trick. More eggs, more income. Up those hours to 50 if you have to. If there's a will, there's a way. Be consistent and treat it like a normal job with hours, deadlines, and shifts/breaks thrown in. Good luck!

    I split between two cam sites and have I have an internet affiliate + marketing business (I really need to come up with a better name of what I do)

    basically working only one site can be extremely difficult to make as your only one source of income. It can be done but it is a lot of work and hours to make it happen. basically it seems the new standard of camming hours is 80 hours a week.

    So if this is what you want to do you need to create an omnipresence for yourself. Which basically means being everywhere. Everywhere in your sites you work with and everywhere in your marketing.


    Which could mean more exposure and more chances of being outted and even sites stealing your content if you can't handle the omnipressence you would have to think of a new game plan.

    If working like a dog on a cam site to make what you are currently making isn't enough then you would need to think of something else.

    I tried splitting today with cams.com and it was a huge failure. Nothing but insults and lagging video on both it and SM. I guess my best bet would be to concentrate on SM until I can afford better equipment.

    I use LCMS and SM and sometimes Flirt4free, depending. I'll start splitcamming very soon to see if I like it. Truthfully though, HOURS are the key here. I've had really shitty placement and made great money when I was working lots of hours consistently, and I've had really amazing placement where I've made almost nothing due to inconsistent, very short shifts.

    Work them hours and also be online at the same-ish time everyday, whatever your shifts are. Guys like having a cyber girlfriend they can find. they also like it when you are "reliable".

    I don't work as many eggs as I could or probably should as currently my tech just doesn't allow for anything good, but I make up for that by putting hours in. Many a time its saved my ass.

    If you're new on SM again, it will take time. My first week back I worked about 28hrs and made about $228. But, it did go up from there, so don't worry about that. Raise your rates and be consistent and that amount will increase.

    My looks and my stream, all I know is I didn't like the site and never want to work it again.

    That's fine. You can work half your shift on SM and the other half on Cams. Or, you can work SM and have like 3-6 phone sex, texting, clips stores, etc running in the background. Most platforms allow you to log into the site. No equipment needed but a phone.

    I should have been more specific, I really like SM and REALLY disliked Cams. Thank you for the great advice, I'll look into it.

    Scarlet, everyone here has given great advice. The hardest part of starting up again is that NO MONEY START. I've been just now getting back into camming myself from doing it a while ago and honestly, it's hard to not feel down after you make nothing when putting in the effort, but just remind yourself -- Rome wasn't built in a day, and one pay period, your FIRST pay period back, is not the projection for you if you put in the effort. I HIGHLY suggest looking into Clips4Sale, Iwant Clips, ManyVids, or other clip sites, as well as the Phone sex. ALSO -- TWITTER. PROMOTE! WEBSITE! Everything. The more promotion material you have for yourself for them to google or look up, the more people can follow you, favorite you, or find your content, etc. This really is a BUSINESS and you have to work it like one too. Good luck!
