    Question Camming schedules ?

    This has probably been asked before but I'm far too lazy to search and the info could be outdated.
    I was wondering how many hours/days do y'all cam girls work in a week? As a newbie did you work regularly or needed breaks?
    Thanks for answers in advance!

    Honestly, Cam when YOU feel like it. There isn't a perfect set schedule that works for us all. It's all up to when you can work honestly. There's a lot of threads here that can help you out.

    I'm collecting Food Stamps so I work very light. An hour or less a day. High goal would be 5 hours a week!

    Lol, girls on CC will come for ur head if u say ur too lazy to search. jus sayin.

    From what i've seen it varies a LOT from girl to girl. Some of us work 10, while others work 60. That could be all on-cam time or include time spent on behind-the-scenes stuff like marketing, making vids/pic sets, editing that stuff, etc. Personally I work ~15 hrs a wk because I'm also a full time student. I also spent an extra 5 hours a wk on promoting, taking pics, etc. I usually can't work more than a 3 hr shift and I take a short break every hr or hr and a 1/2 bcuz it's physically draining.

    Oh I know, saying I'm lazy to search starts some dramz lol
    Just being honest though! Not a newbie to SW at all.

    Was wondering as I plan on trying to work at the very least 20-30 hrs a week (pretty much when I'm just home) and wondering if it's feasible or I'm setting myself up for failure. I've done cam years ago but was very on and off as I was dancing and when I was still hyper I'd log in and work on cam till I got sleepy or bored. I was filled with adrenaline though! All my stuff to start (I' an annoying perfectionist) is coming this week and I'm totally spazzing out finally. Got the newbie nerves going on as it's been awhile that I've actually "worked".

    20 is definitely feasible. I do around 20-25, and trying to work up to 30, but it often feels like any more would kill my ladybits. This job is a lot more draining than your average 40-hr week vanilla job. Start slow and work up to your limits.

    I tend to be a workaholic when I do work so hopefully I'm the same with this. Thank you for letting me know it's feasible!

    I do half hour, take a break, do another half hour etc. Trying to find out which are the best times to make sure I'm online then. I think if it's busy I'd stay on but there are times when it's just people wanting to talk for free so then I log off.

    If you don't use the search function or read through all the threads on here you are disadvantaging yourself. There is a wealth of information at your finger tips that you'll never even know about. But that's fine. .. more money for the rest of us

    I think 20-30 hours sounds good, but like the others have said, no one can tell you until you try - it depends what you do in your shows, your own personal health/tolerance for it, which site you go one, what else is going on in your life, etc.

    I agree with heyho that it's way more draining than for example sitting in an office doing admin. Well at least I think so.

    Good luck xx

    My food stamps benefits were just revoked. So I guess I'll be now forced to stay on for 45 minutes a week, instead of my usual 30.

    THIS ^^^

    I never believed how draining this job could be until I got my snazzy new PC that allowed me to get online whenever I wanted...and I am exhausted after an hour It's going to be an uphill climb to my full earning potential

    I've been so lazy, but the plan is that - on days when my son is in school - I wanna be logged into ImLive private chat mode from 9:30 AM EST - 3:30 PM EST. A lot of that time logged in is *crickets*, so when I don't have a member in my private chat, I'll take advantage of the natural sunlight (if it's a sunny day) and take pictures of my eBay items for sale. When that's done, while still logged into ImLive, I plan to log into my Fancy Hands dashboard to search for tasks to do, and log into Amazon Mechanical Turk to find tasks to do.

    I haven't decided which day of the week will be my day to record for Clips4Sale (needs to be a weekday when my son is in school). I also need to decide what day to designate as my "Go out and buy items to resell on eBay" day (also needs to be a weekday when my son is in school).

    Personally I don't agree with the "cam when you feel like it" mentality, but as always, Your Hustle May Vary. If I cammed only when I felt like it, I'd be so much further behind and would've achieved far less in the 1.5 years I've been camming. Specific time and money goals were key to helping me get into a consistent cam groove and stick with it.

    I aim for 20-30 hours a week, but I actually hit a record 32 hours this week -- alas, this was only because it was uncharacteristically slow and took much longer to hit my financial goals.

    When I was a newbie, I worked 3-6 hours a day, 3-5 days a week. Being online semi-regularly/consistently helped boost my placement and gain regulars quickly.

    Never done a desk job. I was a dancer on and off for about 7 yrs. Then moved my hustle to getting money while having fun with wealthy men. I have to be doing something. I'd want to shoot myself at an office job LOL

    I wouldn't cam when I feel like it either. Never know even when slow when you'll get an online whale. Whoop whoop!

    If you were a dancer, OP, you may find that it takes you less time to get used to longer cam shifts than somebody who'd never had a customer-facing entertainment job. Whatever happens, if you find that you're getting too zoned out to keep an engaged, interested expression on your face, take a break. Also, camming is more dehydrating and calorie-eating than you'd imagine, so if you're getting tired quickly, more water and snacks could be the answer.

    As a noob I could barely do shifts of over an hour, and if I did more than 3 hours total per day, I couldn't log back on the following day at all. Now, I'm fairly comfortable going for 3 hrs at a stretch with a small break here and there. I prefer to do 2 + 2 with a 2-3 hrs break between the shifts, aim for 4 days a week, and consider myself a part-time camgirl.

    I try to aim for ten hours a week on one or two days a week (if I work that long on one day a week, I take frequent breaks to eat and relax). I'd work more but I have a small child and a small house so I only cam when she's at my parent's house. If I had a larger house where I could be sure she wouldn't hear me at night or she went to school during the day, I'd work more... like 20 - 30 hours. But really it all boils down to what works for you. 20 - 30 hours isn't really crazy but don't push yourself if you feel like it's too much. Luckily with this job you don't have to keep a strict schedule like a vanilla job w/ a boss breathing down your neck, so you can take breaks if you need to if you feel burnt out.

    I actively cam on 2 different sites right now and try to get 10 hours a week in on both, so 20 in total. I suck at sticking to a schedule though-I'm trying to be better at it. On MFC, sticking to a schedule is very important because it seems like regulars are really important on there and the whole camscore thing-if you're not on for a couple days, guys get very impatient on there and will spend their tokens elsewhere. On Streamate, sticking to a schedule isn't as important, but working more hours helps your placement. On Chaturbate, sticking to a schedule doesn't really matter because your placement is based on how many people are in your room at any given time.
