Camming honestly just takes time, more than I'd like to deal with sometimes. But when I consider that I make more doing this, for less time, than I do at my part-time job, I stop bitching.
If you want to make a cammer of yourself and you're disappointed with your score or income, you have to be the one to change it.
It's working hours not just when you're online, but offline too. Tweeting, creating content and games for your room to increase your internet awareness, create a following, and keeping up with your current regulars. For those members who have tipped to receive texting priveleges, for me it's texting them periodically with a smiling face photo or a "how is your day going, dear?" Keeping your fan base interested in you, your life, and everything else takes time. If you don't want to put in the time, you won't advance.
I learned that the hard way when I first started camming, so I'm not just talking out my arse. I got bored of sitting online just talking to people who wanted to jerk off on my face (or so they told me) and not making barely a tip to my name. So my hours lessened, and the meager tips did as well. Then, working a cash register at my other job (and hating it dearly, mind you), I realized that I was getting tipped money, real money, to sit on my bed and talk to people... in my panties and bra, sometimes my pajamas. With a dawn of realizition, I wondered why I was still working at a job I hated instead of trying to improve a potentially awesome one.
So I put in more hours on the site, showing up to my other job a little bleary-eyed and snoozing through a few lectures in class, but I started seeing improvements after about two weeks. My paycheck literally tripled, I shit you not. I also started getting site message asking when I would be on, what we would be doing next, what was going on in my life for the day... and I started having regulars. Now even if regulars don't tip, they often encourage others to do so, which is sweet and helpful.
So while I still work a part-time job, it's more for a social thing a few times a week than actually taking it as a serious job. MFC is what I consider to be my job, and I really do like it. I've met a lot of nice people and it's probably the most fun job I've ever had... it just takes time and hard work to get to a point where you'll really start to appreciate what you do.
Ranting over... sorry, I write too much. Life story fin!
[EDIT: ] Oh, yeah, I almost forgot... if your boy-toy wants to see more income made, he should try camming himself or trying to bring it in... see how much he bitches then when it's his booty shaking on the internet. ;D
