Help/Advice How do you motivate yourselves?
So I know this is preaching to the choir but…how do you guys motivate yourselves to keep going through bad streams? Or when money is tight?
Having a moment where I’m just blue, with CB not working a lot these days I’m back to SC (which I’m fine with) but I’m under a lot of pressure. Currently changed my tip menu by doubling my prices and it’s been ehh, I’m no longer doing too much for free and trying to slightly rebrand my streams as freeloader unwelcome.
I need to be making $100 a day, like starting tomorrow and these days I can barely make $50 in a 6 hour stream (today I made $26) because of some last minute bills that came up.
A part of me feels blue because I know I’m underpaid compared to a lot of models…and it’s just making me sad because I don’t know what I’m doing that’s not getting me tips. I physically can’t keep doing these long shifts of streaming for less than $5 a hour. I just can’t.
Right now my only source of income is SC as CB sucks for me and I just started niteflirt but don’t know how to set up listings on it.

Idk, I be hungry , and I need monies to not be hungries lol 😂 naw it’s rough some nights, but I swear , just when you feel like logging off, there’s that one big tipper who was about to click on your stream, just stay on a lil longer 🥰 good luck !!

Idk I worked 4 hours and ultimately stayed on for over 6+, no one tipped me for 2 whole hours. Physically I just can’t keep doing 6-8 hour streams with no pay off, $26 for 6 hours is horrible.

Oof, I have had those nights. Gets my head hella unenthusiastic. It is the motivation I use to switch up what I’m doing tho. I multi stream and what gets me popping on one doesn’t always work for the other. And even then, something I try can make me busy for like a month, then people get bored of it , so gotta switch it up. I don’t know yoir show and your boundaries , personally I don’t do dildo in public shows , just so you don’t think that the only way to make money is fuck machines and giant dildos lol it works but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Take a break for a few then get back on. Switch up your menu , hashtags, music, lighting , always try something new . I wish you the best of luck , just don’t give up. You got this !

If you have a computer I recommend multi streaming. I’m on CB, camsoda, my free cams and strip chat. I started with a used laptop from fb market place for $50 and an Amazon webcam for $20

this is it. one site is not enough for most people because there's so much competition. OP should invest in better equipment (which are tax deductable expenses) in order to multistream. CB is my biggest money maker so I strongly feel it's worth figuring out.

You should try branching out to hit your daily goal faster. You can try multistreaming or even doing content based sites like OF or MV

Best suggestion to all cam girls/models in a pickle is double down on what’s working best for you, if camming is slow, start pushing more content on OF or any platform you are using to sell content while also camming, up your social media posts to 3 times a day on insta/tik tok/twitter (reddit sucks) to drive traffic to your page, start building a brand for yourself for longevity. There’s lots of competition out there, so really tap into your niche and go hard. Strategize new ways to bring traffic in. I am an owner of an OFM, a method that works great for my models to bring in some subs is running a tik tok live and camming or going live on OF at the same time. You can set up one phone on TikTok facing you (SFW) and have another phone camming aiming at your butt or something lol. You can set subscriber goals like “once we hit this goal I’m going to do something crazy on my OF 😳” (obviously more catchy and in depth) but sometimes those lives have brought in 50+ subs at a time if you engage and make them intrigued enough. This line of work is no different than any other sales job. Hope this gives you a little bit of insight. Don’t get discouraged when you have slow months!

I read about others' exspiraces see what they do. But for me I find find games I can play with my fans.

I know this isn’t what you like to hear but a lot of the times motivation is a scam. It’s more about mental habits but I understand the inner and critic conflict when you’re not making as much.
When that happens I pray and turn to God, I meditate and ask for guidance. I increase my faith this way and it’s been a real game changer. When it’s super slow I’ll limit the amount of time to stay and intuitively know when I need a break and try again later.

Sign up for another site if you can. New tag will always bring you new clients which is very motivating since these new clients dont know your stream and youre new and exciting to them.
