    Default from camming to dancing?

    Hello, I am a cam model or have been for the past 2 years, I had an account previously but forgot the login. I know there are other related posts but none that are recent and need some advice. I am getting my masters degree and I cam. I do full-time hours I login every day and usually do 6-7 hours. Im not sure if its the season, me, my hustle, my internet or computer but I can barely make 100 dollars. I used to make 2000/ a week up until this spring. Its discouraging because I'm nice attractive and young and see others banking but Its been extremely tough on me. I make more than minimum wage but its not enough to live decently and pay my school bills. My daily goal is 200 at the minimum but I only make 200-300 on the weekends and thats if I work at least 6-7 hours. I know it completely depends on the person but would dancing be a better option? Has anyone jumped from camming to dancing and did you make more doing so? I generally here the opposite so Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated
    thank u xo

    In general...and this is based on knowing nothing about your appearance, hustle abilities, etc. But in general, women make more money while dancing. Dancing is a harder gig - both physically and mentally - for many women. But it does tend to be more lucrative. Also, the money is generally under the table. Which may not make a difference for you depending on how you handle your taxes.

    Hello!
    I was in the same boat as you. In school 5 days a week making little money on the weekends before I started camming. I made avg 100-250 a day. My cam fans seem way creepy and more invasive since its easier for them to find you on the internet.

    I've stripped for 9 days and had 3 days making 400$+ in a small city! I greatly prefer dancing because I can put less effort into holding regulars. In addition, if you have a large following already regulars will come to see you strip. (I would only do this if you find a club that is at least 30 minutes away from the one you live/frequent most often and only use your cam name there but not your regular club.)

    Hope this helps!
    Good luck.

    I went from dancing to camming full time & make way more if not the same I did when dancing. I feel that camming is easier bc I don't have to deal wit schedules, managers, or other weird shit. As a camgirl I do have regs but they know nothing about me IRL & they always return to me everyday spending & aren't weird, it's easier for me as a cam girl than a dancer.

    In general you will make way more stripping than you are camming.

    That is baffling to me. I did well as a stripper, but I make so much more on cam!

    You make more camming in $$/hour? Or do you make more because you work more hours? Do you have a less conventional / niche type of beauty? Or is your look very mainstream?

    If you're mainstream and make more money per hour camming than dancing, then i of course believe you, but you may be an anomaly (the 10-20% at the top that don't accurately represent most people's experiences).

    Yup, my look is very young, cute and bubbly aka mainstream. I used to work 6 hour shifts 5 days a week and still work 25-30 hours per week. Camming gives me the whole world at my fingertips, I can create relationships and a sense of community. Camming for me is incredibly consistant. Dancing was limiting for me. I was limited to who was in town, who walked through the door, if it was summer or winter. I just don't have that issue online for some reason.

    There are so many variables out of your control with dancing, for sure. A big one is location. It'd be pretty easy to out-earn local dancers as a camgirl if you live in a low-earnings area or in an area with only crappy clubs. Shrugs.

    I do think it's more of the norm to earn more as a dancer than as a camgirl though, for women who have mainstream looks and hustle abilities.

    Definitely a give and take. Editing my initial message b/c my initial style of camming was just burning me out. Camming is going better for me. It is still nice to dance occasionally to break the monotony/have cash in hand same night.
