@lakers, am I right that you're fairly new to adult/being self-employed? I'm not trying to be bitchy, it's a genuine question. I guess your OP reminds me a bit of myself back when I first started camming. While we're in dif areas of the adult industry, I think what most areas share in common is that the first year is way more volatile than what you have to look forward to. It makes sense when you think about it...you're still building your customer base so you don't have a massive resource of repeat business (rebills I guess in your case?) to even out the ups and downs that accompany being self-employed

When I first started out I used to drive myself crazy focusing on daily sales figures, then I figured out that individual days mean(t) nothing. Daily earnings just...aren't relevant. To me the more important question is "am I where I want/need to be at the end of the week/month?".

If the answer is yes, build on that and you'll grow your business. Obsess over individual slow days and you'll waste time and energy on stats that don't matter. This goes triple when you're first starting out.

Men will always want porn. No matter the time of year, which holiday is around the corner, there are men out there with hard-ons that need release

If you're not making the $$$$$ you want over time then def switch up your strategy, but take a deep breath in the meantime, for real

36 hours is not a reliable indicator of anything.

peace and $$$$$
its true, im just being a whiny little girl for now. Yeah, ive seen days like this before. I guess im just bored and in need of attention. But, at the same time i want to know how everyone else is doing.
