    Default Need Advice Please!

    Am I tired of camming or is this normal? I mean somedays I just fucking hate it. I hate having to spend more time talking them into a show than the show actually lasts. I hate the guys who only come in for 2 minute privates all the time, like when they ask if i'm ready and I look at our history I'm just thinking no I don't feel like taking off my clothes for a whole $2 so I can go back into the freechat and start all over romancing the next one. Over half my clients are high paying regulars but 99% of them drive me crazy with the "here is my number" "why didn't you text" "what if I buy the plane ticket" bullshit and if I just straight up say I will never ever fucking meet you they don't come back. I've been camming for a long time, but really I don't remember it being like this before. I thought before I almost always had people in my room and privates were easy I didn't have to deal with so many freeloading idiots. If there is 5 guys in the room all wanting private it seems like lately I always manage to waste my time on the nearly broke one. Do I need a break? Assuming I just look like the average jane on the site if I put all my effort into video sales or something could I still make just a lousy 1000 bucks a month on clips4sale? My house, cars, everything is paid for all I need is monthly small bill expenses. I make a a few hundred extra from vid sales now, but I don't put much time or effort into it.

    Why are you taking your clothes off for $2? My advice would be to read the threads about making your shows last longer and not to expect guys to be cheap.

    Here's a couple, there's loads more:

    lol, yeah times have changed. when i read this thread, i went back 10 years and yes, it wasnt so hard to get guys buying shows and yes, they wouldnt ask to meet u too back then. everything has changed and now more guys wanna meet and talk to u outside the cam world. i have a problem also with few of them wanting to meet me as i dont tell clients i live in brasil but in uk or usa. it pisses me off because i know im gonna lose them no matter what; if i give them my "cell #"( my number for clients) i will lose the client and if i dont give the # out i will also lose them, so no matter what i do or decide, its going to be a loss.

    I think I misread your post a bit - just get heavy with the banhammer. The ones who ask for your number or want to meet BAN THEM. Your sanity will be restored with each freeloading timewaster you manage to catch and ban.

    Hi promised

    I think most cam models get to point every now and again where they lose all enthusiasm for camming and the time wasters really don't help.

    I think that taking a bit of a break might do you well. Also try changing things up a bit and try a different site for a little while with a different format. Maybe work on having an image change, pamper yourself a bit with maybe a new hair cut or colour, get your nails done, buy new sexy clothing. This works for me sometimes by making it feel like it's all fresh and new, if that makes sense.

    Another thing that might give you more umph is to raise your rates. It feels so much better to do a show when you know your earning more per minute.

    Also, you need to keep a guy in your chat for a few minutes before you start getting your clothes off. I always ask how the guy is and then if he's having fun on the website. Next I ask what he's into and then speak about how what he's into is pretty hot or fun etc. Im a domme so I don't often get my clothes off unless it works into the scenario but the questions still get a few minutes in before we actually start any scenarios.

    I hope things start getting better for you soon.

    Xxx

    I don't think you're burned out. I think the traffic sucks right now.
    As far as c4s you can give it your best shot, but I'm an "average Jane" and I don't make fuck all there because I don't do taboo.

    To me, it sounds like a case of burnout.
    I feel like this when I have a case of it.
    It even happened back when camming was different, and I didn't have as many freeloaders.
    I take a few days, or a week off.
    Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    When it doesn't work, I do something a little different.
    I will go to any service job that I can find, ( usually McDonald's), but any place will do.
    I then, get my coffee, or meal, and just observe the workers. And customers.
    Or I go to the local social services offices ,( welfare), and sit and observe. The way those workers are treated,. ....yikes!
    For ME, it puts things into perspective of how good I have it.
    I'm a visual person, so I need to see something in order for it to sink in.

    Great post Glam! I do the same. I will observe grocery store workers and remember how I was treated when I was a store employee. It really does make you feel blessed!

    I just raised my rates a couple weeks ago to over $4 pvt/7 exc and it worked great for a couple days, then back to feeling like a telemarketer lol. So my cut of a 2 minute private is usually around $2 $3 bucks. I seriously feel like I'm trying to sell people something they weren't expecting. They think it's free or really cheap and I have to convince them it's worth it, and I get tired of that. Most of them discuss what they want before taking me private, so after a minute I'm naked and they leave. I used to get taken private to "do whatever makes you cum" now I get taken private to "stand on your head bb, dump oil all over yourself, fuck your ass while trying to burn your expensive cam with a cigarette bb" Like they gotta think up some crazy shit for me to do if they are gonna be paying by the minute. The biggest majority of the time I'm trying to nicely say I won't meet them, while still implying maybe someday so they won't leave or wasting my time talking them into a show for 20 minutes just so they can either leave the room or take me private for a whole couple minutes before I get the "ty bb, I cum"

    I've read everyones advice and thanks for all of it, I'm gonna try everything and still try camming again in a couple days, maybe I'm just having a bad week and need to change some things...again...

    Camming is a relentless sales job. That's what it is. And yes, no matter how much I like it, believe me, I also have those days where I'm like "omg am I really doing this boring shit again today?"

    Take care of yourself. It sounds like you are burned out. This Summer has also been really rough. If all your assets are paid off, take some time off, re-evaluate and see if you want to continue. There's nothing wrong with being done with it. People in vanilla jobs quit all the time to follow other pursuits. But take some time for you first.
