I’ve been struggling with this issue from the very beginning of my camming journey. Nobody told me there will be days when I will have to sit on my bed for hours with nobody talking to me or tipping. Nobody mentally prepared me for all the self esteem issues that these experiences cause, for all the anger and frustration that come along with it.
To be completely honest with you, I still don’t know what to do when it happens.
I did, however, find a method that temporarily works and that is a bit “unprofessional” but hey, we do what we gotta do in order to survive as cam models.
So here’s what I do:
Step 1: I log into my MFC account and click broadcast. I wait for a couple of minutes to see who joins and who doesn’t. Usually I can tell within the first hour if its going to be a shit day or not.Â
Step 2: I sigh as I realize there won’t be any cash thrown my way despite all the efforts so I stop trying.
Step 3: I walk to the fridge, open a bottle of champagne/wine/vodka and I pour a glass. I drink it on cam.
Step 4: I walk to the fridge and pour another glass. My tolerance for alcohol is shit, so at this point I am already a bit tipsy. I start laughing about everything my regular members say, making them think they are funny when in reality its not really the case.
Step 5: I start making jokes about my bald uncle called Adrian. If you’ve been with me for a while you know exactly what I mean.
Step 6: I’m probably on my third glass, struggling to understand what the fuck is going on in my room while dancing at the same time.
Step 7: Hours pass really quickly when drunk so at this point I don’t really give a fuck about the fact that its been a slow day.
Step 8: I log out and start sobering up. I remember what a slow day it was so I eat my sorrows away.
Step 9: I go to sleep and hope tomorrow will be better.
So as you can see, it is only a temporary solution but sometimes it’s the only one. I still love my job, tho.
