r/CamGirlProblems

I feel that monthly income is not that bad. like $8,000 monthly working an average 27 hours weekly. I do stream in like 2 hours block, then a break and so on, but the most I have made in a day is $700. I have been camming from like 3 years and never ever have had a $1000 day. Are those type of days mostly luck or is it more like putting crazy hours like working 20 hours a day or so?

I don’t stream on SM much due to the severe lack of traffic.

Has it gotten alot worse or is it just m?

It feels like a ghost town

Keep pushing!! Normally when I stream I make 800-1k consistently, but everyday last week I was struggling to get above $400. I know I should be grateful to make ~$100 an hour, but it was so disheartening seeing my numbers drop like that. I felt like such a failure and sobbed like three times about it lol. Also, my life is built around making a certain amount, so not being able to hit that was incredibly stressful. Idk if a lot of users got paid Monday or something, but last night I finally broke 1k for the first time in over a week and it was so relieving. Really hoping it was not a fluke.

Just a reminder that one bad week does not mean that’s gonna be the new trend in your earnings, because I needed to hear that five days ago when I was crying in my car lol.

I've been an operator there for nearly 2 decades, and I'm tired of the shit they've been pulling lately. My biggest issues, I will list below. I want girls starting off doing phone or thinking about Talktome to please listen to me before you make a mistake with them.

• The same girls are ALWAYS at the top. The top 3-10 girls are basically the same girls over and over. The same people are always on the first page. It really feels like they have their favorites. You can have a profile thats been there forever and still be buried on page 2 or 3, while somebody special's fake "new" profile somehow gets put right at the top. Unless you're one of the chosen few, good luck getting that #1 spot.
• A lot of the men on there are into some really disturbing stuff. A huge amount of the conversations seem to be about pedophilia, bestiality and other disgusting things. It honestly makes you wonder what kind of people this site is actually catering to. It doesnt feel like its real women talking to normal callers anymore.
• They allow people to steal your pictures and identity. People can copy your photos, your profile, your character, basically everything, and make a fake version of you. Then those fake profiles can actually get promoted and put ahead of the real person. Imagine building your profile for years and then someone copies you and the site puts THEIR copy in the #1 spot. How is that ok?
• Payments can randomly become a problem. Sometimes payments are late or they suddenly come up with a reason to remove you from the platform. I've heard of people being told their ID is suddenly invalid, even if it was originally approved. They will find any reason to get you gone if they want you gone.
• The new 2257 rule is really questionable to me. They require all this 2257 content from YOU (I suspect they are mining content and trying to get your characters IDs for free, since their fake profiles will quickly take your content and 2257 content costs money and is hard to find these days.). Plus, if you've lost old papers for your 2257 content, suddenly your account can be terminated now. But at the same time you can see their top operators using the fake identities they stole from you... So what exactly is the point of all this then? It's just another loophole to remove girls on a whim or rob girls of their content.
• If you complain, you can basically disappear. It feels like speaking up or complaining about problems can get your account frozen, restricted, or just pushed out of sight. You dont really feel like you can say anything without worrying about what they're going to do to your account.
• The pay is only 35% and you're not going to get the same treatment as the favorites. You can work your ass off and still barely get anywhere because the same people keep getting the traffic. Meanwhile the girls that have been there forever or seem to be favored get the good spots, get paid more than any new operator will be paid, and get more callers for being in a top spot. You end up doing twice the work just to make half the money they do.
• TalkToMe lets people leave fake reviews. Good luck even trying to be an honest talker there, if you start to do well... other operators will notice, and they'll leave bad reviews. Customers can leave you bad reviews without even calling you, and they won't do much about it, because they're probably the ones who set up the fake reviews in the first place to lower your rating below their "favorites"...

I've been working for them for nearly 20 years, and I'm fucking tired of them. They're getting worse and worse and worse... please avoid at all costs.

And if you know anymore dirt on this website, please post it below. I think it's time the phone sex workers of the world are aware of the truth going on in the back doors of this website.

If talktome keeps playing these stupid games, they are going to crash as bad as Mygirlfund did back in the day (anyone remember that site?)

They are on the same trajectory. If you rely on phone sex for your living, I would go back to niteflirt or start looking at some of the other websites. Talktome is trash now.

Hey y'all! 35f here and have always wanted to do camming. As an exhibitionist, getting paid for shows sounds like, a real life fantasy job lol. I'd never done it in the past because I was sexually repressed through my youth and had shit to work through which I have and I've found a lot of joy in connecting with kink groups/friends in my city, I've gotten a lot more comfortable in the 😆

I have AuDHD and every 9-5 I've ever had has ended in crippling burnout. Today, I walked out of my current job of two years. I have three months or so of bills in savings and I've done HELLA research (shout out to all who post on here 🩷) about camming for the past year and had been planning on doing this at some point- here I am!

I would love input on how realistic my goals are? Not right away of course, but maybe after a few months of consistency. I need to gross $2400 minimum per month ($2000 bills + $400 for taxes). I'm going to start streaming this coming Monday on SM (I prefer the 1:1 style), M-F 10a-4:30p EST with a half hour break. That's $600 per 30 hour week, $100/6hr day. I guess I'm just hoping for reassurance it really can work, or a reality check if its a stretch?

Also, I'm in the US. Happy to remove this if not allowed but my SM username is MissMaeI. Tattooed, bbw, milf, switch niche. Thanks for reading 💖😅

I’m going through a really bad slump on SextPanther right now. In all the years I’ve been on that site, I’ve never dealt with anything like this.

If I drop my rate really low, I get flooded with guys. I get tons of leads. Before, they would at least interact, but now they don’t even wanna reply to a $1 message. And at that price, I honestly don’t even wanna turn my camera on because it’s just way too low.

But the second I raise my rate by like $3, I get NOTHING. Literally nobody. My account just completely dies. No calls, no interaction, nothing.

I feel stuck in this vicious cycle because I actually wanna do cam, I just don’t wanna do it for $2. But if I put myself at $5, it’s like I become invisible.

I seriously don’t know what to do with this site anymore. It used to be the site where I made the most money, and now it feels completely dead for me, while I’m watching other girls make money every single day.

I’ve changed my pictures, I stay online, I show up in the online section, I’ve tried switching things around, and I still can’t figure out how to break out of this cycle. It’s honestly starting to get to me because I just don’t know what else to try.

getting bad gate way when attempting to open the app and website, anyone else having issues right now?

Or if anyone has any tips as a high earner, let’s use this as an educational opportunity for everyone! I’ve seen quite a few posts about feeling discouraged, especially during contest weeks, so I thought this might be a helpful tool for others! Let’s all help each other 💕

It's shark week so I'm honing in on the phone sex market. I love to talk about fantasies and dirty sex stories, of which I have many, but I've found soooo many guys want a dominant woman to humiliate them, role-play, be mean and aggressive. That just doesn't come natural to me! Do I bother with the scripts or do I just stick with what I know? When in chat I can be whoever they want me to be because I have time to think about my responses and get creative, but on the phone I just get so awkward and stumble over my words. I've even done some soft/gentle femdom on cam and I did well! I am not a dominant woman sexually though and I never really have been; I much prefer a submissive role and that's something I'm much more comfortable with, but I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on a huge part of the market in the phone sex industry because so many men seem to want that specific thing. It probably doesn't help that I look like I would be a dominant woman... long black hair, tattoos, "resting bitch face", goth style... Help!

I’m curious what other creators prefer and why. Do you find private calls easier for earning, or do you like the more relaxed vibe of tip shows? Has your preference changed over time?

This may be a weird little post but I’ve been camming just over a year and I do extremely well. I’m on a token site and I do 10k+ tokens every single day I stream, I’ve kinda lost my life though. Every time I’m not streaming I feel guilty for not being online, “I could be making more money” “my rank is going to drop when I’m not online and I’ve worked so hard to get it up already” I want to try and stay in top 100 for the month but as soon as I take a day off it drops quite quickly, only be a couple of ranks but in terms of tokens that’s probably 10k+ behind straight away.

I feel like I don’t do anything with my life other than cam. I went to a birthday party this weekend and the whole time I was there I was thinking oh I could be making more money, then I knew I’d be hungover the next day so I couldn’t get online then either.

How do I stop these thoughts? I started camming so I didn’t have to work all the time but I feel like I’m working more now than I ever have in my life. I love the money but I’m making all this money and have no friends / life to even spend it so it’s kinda just racking up. Is anyone else in a similar situation? How do I balance it out?

Hi everybody! Well long story short, I have to go in soon & get a bunch of extractions (some will be in VERY noticeable spots when I talk or smile) and I have no idea what I’m going to do while I have to wait to heal & then get my partials. It’s much needed! I’m also 23 weeks pregnant so my traffic has been so good. I’m really nervous. I’m thinking about going faceless for a while or wear a mask. My smile is one of the things people do compliment me on but little do they know, all of those crowns are failing or there are hairline cracks on the bottom of my real teeth which means I have to get a lot of them pulled. I’m only 27 so it’s rough to think about missing that many teeth but it’s for my health and I’m tired of hating my own smile :(
Please, no judgement. Or people talking me out of getting the work done. I finally have enough saved up for a good partial that I’ve been wanting. I was just wondering if I can’t get an immediate partial (put in right away), I’ll have to wait a couple months minimum to get it.
If anyone else went through drastic dental work while still having to cam, please if you wouldn’t mind sharing what you did to still get by?! My husband doesn’t quite make enough for us to get ahead and have all our bills paid, money put away for new baby and we also have a 2 year old right now. Money is tough.
Much love 💗

Seasoned model here. I've been on Myfreecams 15 years ago, when I first started. Been with it for a few years back then, but it never really worked for me, I was making small- average amounts there. I remember it was one of the most popular sites, at least until Chaturbate took over.

I recently came back to camming and went on MFC, out of curiosity, to see what's going on there nowadays and I was shocked to see there are only 500 models online, when everywhere else are at least 10k models on. I was also surprised to see models that were on top 15 years ago and they still rock the Miss MFC tops. I really thought everyone retired.

So, what's the deal with MFC? What's with this massive drop in models?

I hear the sentiment that everyone has low paying days sometimes. I sure have had my share haha. Was there a point where your pool of regulars/followers grew enough that you can always count on a certain amount hourly, even slower days?

I guess speaking for myself, I had an occasional under minimum wage day a few times and it sucked. But now I’m hitting $40/hr regularly, and $25 to $30 is my “low” day. Much better than the handful of $7/hr days I’ve been humbled by 🫪 Just wondering if those days are likely over or if every model, even the ones making $100+/hr regularly, still gets hit with a super shitty hourly average every once and a while?

Trying to manage my expectations about my growth I guess 😅💕

i stream on SC and sunday i made like $40 and i probably was on like an hour but it was just sooo boring i didn’t wanna stay on any longer so that was kinda on me. monday was pretty good painted with my tits out on free chat and made about $100 in an hour, then did a private w one of my fav regulars and got another $230! today was kinda ehh, made $50 this morning painting and doing my hair then another $30 this evening doing dishes. idk it’s not a bad week so far by any means, i’ve just been kinda lazy with streaming lately so i’m wanting a big bang of a paycheck!
How’s your week going and what site do you use?

Let me preface this by saying that I am NOT complaining, this is a mere observation. Some of my best paying privates have requests that have little to no sexual stuff in them. 2 days ago one of my RM11 regulars booked a private room, paid $220 for 30mns, and he literally just wanted to chat about life and future plans. I double-checked with him that he doesn't want a show or anything and he said no, just companionship. He said he got a promotion and had no one to share it with, which I thought was so sad :(, so we kept going back and forth talking about how difficult life is at times and how sporadic accomplishments like these can keep someone going for longer.

I used to end sessions like that feeling a bit guilty, like I owed people more skin for what they paid, but it has happened enough now that I've gotten over it. They're all grown and they know what they want, it's not up to me to decide. It's also a breath of fresh air from the crude requests I get at times.

I keep my personal details vague for the obvious reasons, but within those limits I'm real with them, and that honesty seems to keep them coming back.

Companionship and emotional presence sell just as much as sexual stuff, which, again, is sad to see 😞, despite it being profitable for us. Are you girls noticing this as well?

Hi ladies! I’m a cam model in my 40s, and my niche is natural, hairy, and pretty mild. I’ve been camming for about two years on CB and one year on BongaCams.

I’m working really hard, but I’m still not making much money, and I’m starting to wonder if I’m doing something wrong. I know that older women may not be as popular as girls in their 20s, but I don’t want to use that as an excuse—I’d really like to improve.

At the moment, I average around $2,000/month before tax on CB and about €200/month before tax on BongaCams. However, this month has been especially slow so far: I’ve only made around $600 on CB and €20 on BongaCams.

For those of you who are more experienced, do you have any advice on what I could change or improve? Things like my profile, room, shows, pricing, schedule, promotion, or the way I interact with viewers.

I’m open to honest feedback. I’m just wondering whether there are things I could be doing differently, or whether I simply need to accept that my age and looks limit how much I can earn.

I’d really appreciate any advice or constructive criticism. ❤️
