    Default SM Averages from 2014 to 2016

    After sitting in free chat longer then normal this year I decided to run my averages from 2014, 2015 and this year. I am a private and exclusive girl with 95% of my shows coming from exclusives. I was curious as to how much my earnings drop from Sm this year vs last year. I've worked the same hours for the last 3 years for the most part. Here are my numbers. Did anyone else run there numbers and saw a big drop in averages this year?


    JAN to March 2014/2015 /2016
    ...................$109/$104/$72
    April to June $97 /$86/$68
    July to August$97 /$90/$69

    I actually did this recently! My averages are slightly down from 2015, but they are higher than 2014. My overall earnings are significantly higher this year (highest year yet). And tonight I suddenly had a huge upswing in my hourly average, so I'm hoping that it's a sign of more good things to come!

    Do you ladies track this on your own using like excel spreadsheets and stuff or do you use something else? How do you do the comparison? I used to do this but I got out of the habit. Seeing this thread makes me want to do it again. My earnings are highest this year than any other but I don't think it's a fair comparison because I work more hours at different times of day this year than previous years

    I too wonder the best way to do this.. Right now I use a word file for my day to day stuff then excel for weekly.. I am wondering the best way to organize my excel spreadsheet? For the record I splitcam a bunch of sites and i really don't want to do any type of "dailies" on there just because it is already complicated looking with all the sites I splitcam lol. I also need this for tax purposes...

    If you record the date. add another column =text("date cell","mmm yyyy") make rows of month and year then use a sumproduct(--((range of dates="mmm yyyy")*(range of numbers from earnings)))

    That will auto fill in a report of your monthly from the daily data. For the average

    sumproduct(--((range of dates="mmm yyyy")*(range of numbers from earnings)))/sumproduct(--((range of dates="mmm yyyy")*(range of numbers from earnings<>0)))

    If you include your start time and stop time so 12:00 until 13:00. /24. To get 1. Then divide your earnings by that to work out cash perhour for what ever time period you want.

    For weekly its a case of create a lookup table. Its actually better to use a business calander of the 4-4-5 for this.

    So week 1 would be 01/01/2016. However next year it would be 12/25/2016 because thats the last Sunday. Off that table use. =if(isna(vlookup(date,lookuptablecells,2,0)),"date not found",(vlookup(date,lookuptablecells,2,0))) to tag the date with the week number. Then its just a case of make a week sheet.

    Update the daily and it auto updated weekly and monthly.


    Edit. I just ask hubbie how he would do it so it wasnt much effort and he just sprouted that while I try and keep up.

    Thanks for those very helpful tips! Specifically about the above though, how can you tell if any components on your connection are bad or how healthy your modem is? I've read that it's best to change your modem every 6 months or the quality of your connection may degrade, but I'm not sure how to tell degraded quality - is it getting slower speedtest results? Because mine fluctuates pretty wildly on any given day.

    Splitting software - I no longer work other sites, but I learned in the past that SM is very particular and can detect split software. In addition, SM is a site that requires full attention to the traffic... I've never found the site to be "split friendly".
    Also for girls who split with SM or work multiple sites, earnings will naturally decrease on SM because many guys will find you on other sites and spend on those sites instead, especially if you have lower prices on those sites.

    ^^I have been splitting sites with SM since 2014 with no splitting software. I have a cam dedicated to every site. I don't think earnings will naturally decrease because guys will find you on cheaper sites. In my 2.5 years of splitting I think ive had 3 or 4 guys find me on another site but they weren't my regulars on SM either. I double and sometimes triple my overall hourly because I have shows on 2 or 3 sites at the same time. I only work 20 to 25 hrs per week and started making 6 figures per year when I started splitting. When I was working SM by itself I was making 70-80 grand per year working 20 to 25 hrs.. I make sure to get a new laptop every year or year and a half for camming only because CAmming is my business and I want to make sure I have a system that can handle SM upgrades. Well.... I confess... I also like new laptops because they are soo pretty...especially the gaming ones with all the pretty lights. My price per minute has been the same since 2013. As well as my hours for the most part. The only change I see to "My" room is traffic is lighter and a lot more freeloaders who sit and stare.
