Sometimes I have such a hard time getting over the mental hurdle of doing hair, doing makeup, getting my toys out, and performing on camera. I end up streaming like every other day and I could do so much better if I increased my time spent on stream.

What do you hotties do to combat this? Do some of you not experience it? I want/need MONEY MONEY but my own libido is pretty low and I have always hated being on camera. I never wear makeup IRL either and my hair goes up in a clip. Couple that with the general distaste for jacking guys off, dealing with broke guys who don't want to tip, having to please low tippers to encourage higher tippers, and weirdos who [insert terrible thing here], it feels like I'm climbing a mountain every time I want to make $50 bucks.

I make about $50-60 in 2 or so hours, which is better than a regular job but not nearly what I want to be making. I'm working on learning how to multistream so I can get more traction for the same amount of effort, but that's another hurdle. As far as looking for alternative work, I have a day job and this is my supplement. It's the only other viable income stream I can currently get, so I need to make it work.

Thanks for listening to me rant :) I have so much respect for sex workers and the effort they put in -- it's not "easy money" by a LONG shot. The mental load is huge and you guys are rock stars.
 
I had to adopt the Nike slogan, "just do it." Not every night is going to be the same and if one time slot isn't working, try another. I put very little effort into my appearance, I only use the toys I want to use. But at the end of the day, the only true motivating factor is having a successful night.
