Yes, usually last 2 weeks of January are slow for live cam. My clip sales and content have been fairly steady though. But, every year I see a dip last few weeks of Jan (in Live stream income - going on 10 years now), then it picks up. People get taxes on their mind and stop spending (I think? I'm not sure how it works, taxes don't affect my spending at all, but other people seem to be affected by it). That's what credit's for BBs lol Hang in there girldo you guys think it will pick up next month?
Its been slow since Mid December for me. I talked to a few girls they said the same. Just wish I didn't screw up so many years and actually save more money lol for slow times like this.Yes, usually last 2 weeks of January are slow for live cam.

(this post was brought to you by too much caffeine, but it is factually accurate given my experiences anyways).
Slow times do really suck, I had literally never thought about people buying things on credit before it was mentioned here but it makes sense why these two months kind of sucked.. I also found august and start september to be a struggle some years, not sure if this is still the case though, might be worth saving for if someone know it's still a thingIts been slow since Mid December for me.

I put two utility bills on my credit card so I would have grocery money. Really sucks when a whale beaches themselves over stupid, petty, bullshit reasons. To the point it rocked my confidence so hard I haven't been able to post on OF at all this month, losing money there too.Slow times do really suck, I had literally never thought about people buying things on credit before it was mentioned here but it makes sense why these two months kind of sucked..

it REALLY does.. and I'm sorry to hear, you have been in the business for quite a bit.. you're good enough to get through this! I believe in that at least! you will get that confidence back I'm sureI put two utility bills on my credit card so I would have grocery money.

Honestly.. if it would make you feel any better, you should just start the thread in my opinion.. I think it's okay to vent here sometimes.. I also just stopped talking to a model that I talked to for 8 months and had met up with etc and thought about starting a thread, but I also ended up never doing it, because well.. it was maybe also my own fault xD"When the dust settled, she met the newest version of herself."
Thank you for the kind words. I'm a pretty tough cookie, need a few attagirls and I'll get back in the saddle.
I wanted to start a thread about it and though it would be therapeutic for me probably wouldn't help anyone here, or maybe it would. IDK
Seems like CB users pick fights with models when they overspend and try to make it the model's fault.
I'll give it some shower thought, if I do post it feel free to jump in with your own story if you want.Honestly.. if it would make you feel any better, you should just start the thread in my opinion..

Thats how they are. It's so annoying. I found OF difficult. I make living off of camming but couldn't off of OF.I put two utility bills on my credit card so I would have grocery money.

No alot guus do that even on MFC. They try to guilt you for their not having self control lol"When the dust settled, she met the newest version of herself."

It will happen again for ya soon.I never made more than $1000 that was years ago and on my bday
The affiliate stuff is great. I signed up with the affiliate link for the model I visit and it's like free money for her with no extra expense to me. Some great tips in your post.getting slow is inevitable. it fucking sucks. sites might not be as popular as they were before. the economy goes up and down. holidays or life events. there will sometimes be an outside factor that is totally out of your control that is negatively effecting income. usually when it slows down thats a sign for me to change some things.
learning how to adapt new sales techniques- like making adjustments to your hustle. for example; restructuring countdowns to changing up your look. i once got bangs, and was mistaken as a new model lol. adding additional sites can help direct traffic to your main camsite. going on to other sites, people might follow you and sign up through your model affiliate links which you then return get a percentage of everything they spend on the site. i haven't streamed on streamate for over a year and still get anywhere from $50-300 weekly from my cammodels link. mind you cannot go onto competitors and advertise your camsite, but you can easily link your affilates in your socials. hey you may never see that user ever again but they sure do love spending hundreds on hotassanalbb94 and you still get paid.
its also important to not take it personally. if you find yourself having a hit to your self-esteem or overall depression because being commission-based income is fucking taxing, please reach out to pineapplesupport.org. get you set up with a therapist to help you through this very stressful and tolling time. please take care and be kind to yourself
