So I'm super broke. Borderline burnout from working three jobs. But my friend suggested I should go in the camming or patreon pics business. A part of me is disgusted by the idea, and knows how terrible that business is, but another part is deeply considering it, and even thinking about ways to make it more tolerable. Should I go for it, and try to make a few bucks here and there, or should I completely decline the proposition?
If I should do it, what would u guys suggest?
If I shouldn't, what can help me get out of my financial misery?
Well, if you're good, you could get away not showing your face, so it won't affect other aspects of your life. But keep in mind that the stuff is way harder than people think. There are thousands of people doing it and if you're not getting a decent amount of attention nor can't sustain it, you're not going to make much from camming.
Overall it's probably still in the top 3 of things to do besides coding and whoring.
Nolan Kelly
Just a tip: if you plan on going trough with camming, don't give your bf any of that money, not even a fucking dime. It should be spend on you alone.
Adam Turner
How about being a sugar baby? (Assuming you are a girl, it is never stated)
Chase Clark
Hm you're very right, I tried coding but my photophobia made me stop due to migraines, and whoring, no thanks that's too dangerous. Do you have any idea of where I could start for camming or pics? If I'm gonna try that job I'd want at least a place where I can actually get to know people. Idk I just don't like the idea of taking people's money just like that, I feel like there should be some sort of rapport or relationship, or that just me not having a good opinion on it?
Easton Ross
Going to need to see some pics before we can tell if its a good idea.
I think you'll do fine. But if i may ask. Why osn't your bf able to financially support you? Just the thought of a bf bringing up such a thing is quite weird to fathom for me.
Mason Scott
>Do you have any idea of where I could start for camming or pics? No clue but you generally want to do your own research, comparing the cuts from the sites and so on. It's a lively market. Can't hurt to have some social media presence too, more attention and a potential to build up a character. People are more likely to spend money on qt_anonnette94 who likes cookies than on camgirl0358911.
>Idk I just don't like the idea of taking people's money just like that, I feel like there should be some sort of rapport or relationship, or that just me not having a good opinion on it? Well, depends a lot on the exact thing and obviously generally it's good for business to build a relationship. Though don't see it "takings people's money". You're providing your most valuable resource, your time.
Chase Rogers
It's..complicated? As much as he often offers to help me, and I sometimes accept it, he's also financially struggling. He studies and does two jobs but school loans are expensive as well as debts and some medical bills that have been costing us quite a bit. It's also the fact that I have already been in a relationship where my ex was abusive to me and used financial dependencies have control over me (e.g: won't let me make much money and make me depend on him for everything) In other words, as much as I am struggling, I still wouldn't want to drag him with me in my problems, he works for his money, and I respect that. I just need to work on mine more
Oliver Watson
You seem to have a nice figure but that jeans really look bad on you.
I didnt say whoring and said sugar baby for a specific reason btw, i assume you are from usa?
Dylan Ramirez
Yes I am
John Moore
Ok you really should just reply fo posts instead of putting it in thread general. It is confusing.
Anyway, camming might work but cant you just first try other options? Like giving ultimatums to your employers about increase your wage or you will quit?
Thomas Cox
Seriously, how fucked are your expenditures if you're working three jobs and are still broke?
Where does your money go, and what are you actually trying to acheive?
Maybe consider these things before you start sucking dick on webcam.
Ayden Russell
My bad, my device is being a little shitty. I've discussed with my bosses and the only thing that came out of it were warnings of me getting fired or losing hours. I'm still trying to apply to more jobs but they either pay me less or simply are not interested
Juan Watson
I work in retail for two store, to which one owns two branches. The don't offer raises and only giver me 10-15 hours a week individually if I'm lucky or if I cover coworkers shifts. I'm trying to get rid of financial debts and save up to go to university, as well as pay rent, phone bills, credit card bills, medical bills, and with the leftover money, try and help my mother and siblings. Keep in mind that in total I may make 20-25 hours a week on a good one, with a minimum wage and no commissions off my sales
Jordan Ramirez
Have you tried properly rationalising your expenditures first?
The best way to immediately boost your spending power is to get a cheaper phone deal and switch your bills to cheaper companies.
Then consider getting a 0% credit card if you haven't already, use that to pay off your highest interest rate debts (being mindful of how long 0% lasts for).
You need to pay off your debts in the most expensive interest rate first, and pay the minimum on the rest until the 1st most expensive is done, then take the monthly repayments you no longer pay and put it into the second most expensive etc etc.
High interest debt is what traps people into being poor for the rest of their lives.
Also how the fuck are you burnt out from doing 20-25 hours a week? I hope I've misunderstood that, you fucking hippie.
Gabriel Wood
Also theres literally no point in saving money when you have high interest debts. You're literally throwing money away.
Isaac Lewis
It's not morality, it's dignity, if you don't have any dignity do it, but if you do, don't, or you're gonna regret it down the line
Austin Hernandez
Actually it's neither.
Logan Green
Yes it's very few hours, but the rest of my days are running around helping my family, going to the hospital, applying to other jobs, and more. It may seem like a breeze, and I hate the fact about being burnt out, but it's not by the labor, it's by the stress of trying to make do with the little hours and money I have. should've been more clear, I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding.
I've considered every possible thing, from getting a new job or more jobs, ive tried participating in medical tests or surveys, ive worked for events and catering, and it all helped for a bit, but those were all temporary jobs. I have an arrangement to pay off my debts for the next few years with my bank, I'm trying not to waste my money or years by frugally buying only my necessities. I never go out, nor do I buy myself expensive clothing. Everything I buy is either from the dollar store or a thrift shop. If I'm lucky maybe Walmart.
I am fully aware of the consequences for considering that field. And I know my hands are not entirely tied, but I simply already do so much that it's hard not to think of quick ways to make cash. If I'm able to make a little more money I could possibly even get some online classes that may help me get better jobs down the line. I'm just in a rough spot
Angel Ward
Hmm shame. Ok try to get a more permanent position in a small mom&pop shop maybe? They usually can provide more hours.
How old are you btw?
Christopher Reed
>They usually can provide more hours. While demanding more and paying less.
Henry Collins
Your advice is still really important as well, I'll see if I can look again at the debt arrangement with the bank and find easier and more effective ways to pay off the money. And high interest debt is my biggest fear, I'm trying to avoid those like the plague.
Jaxson Baker
I've applied to pubs and some restaurants, hopefully they might consider my application!
I'm 20, I should've added that earlier, sorry about that.
The whole cam girl or patron is really something that has been suggested that I can't get out of my head, because of how desperate and time sensitive all those debts and issues in my life feel. I know i don't have it that bad, that's why I came here for opinions, to hear advices and feedback
Joshua Powell
Ok before anything else, you shouldnt apologise this much. You already did twice to me already on this thread and i am some fucking dickhead user accross the globe.
Also there is always premium snaps, a way you can attract followers is via tinder saying "i dont check here often hmu at snap or insta"
Obviously this suggestion should be taken after you try the more public options.
One of OPs problem is that she csnt get enough hours atm, maybe per hour will be less but she might make more in total.
why should she rely on her bf, if shes independent, she'll be better off.
Tyler Cook
Okay, I'll apologize less (although I'm using every fiber of my being to not say "sorry" once more right now)
I guess I can make a snap and tinder, it'll be a little weird though to probably see people I might know on it, but that the price to pay I suppose
Wyatt Sanchez
why dont you get a real job that you can rank up and have your pay increase over time? or go to school. all these virgins here are giving you the wrong advice. that won't work in the long run. once you get older, your cam or whatever audience will diminish. until the point were it wont be enough to degrade you'reself on the daily. which will result in your having to get a job anyway. your really really young...like stupid young. go to school for something that your good at. be a cashier for 2 years then work at chase bank.(they pay good) as a teller . by then hopefully you'll be done with college. if not then be a clerk or office admin for a bit then data entry. and finally into book keeping which goes from $30/hr to 60-70/hr. use this as a guideline. im really trying to give u some sort of path to rely on. of you dont fuck with this tho. then i wish you luck regardless .
Charles Phillips
I currently can't go to school, it's too expensive and my family cannot help, nor can my partner, he's still managing with his own school fees.
Regardless, I'm still looking forward to get back to class! I've been missing it a lot, and I look at YouTube videos or free trial classes on my free time to learn as much as I can!
I am definitely not looking at cam as a long term job, I feel like I have more to offer to the world than some meat that will rot over the years.. The ideal would be to not cam at all, but like someone suggested, a qt_anonette would be better. If I really have to down that path for a while, I'd want to make friends and get to know people ( 〃..)
Joseph Roberts
: / even if u start with community college . u got no financial aid?
Julian White
None whatsoever. My debt Is actually due to a student loan. It's quite a long story, but tldr, I started college, started dating my ex who was quite the nightmare. I was doing 6-7 classes back then, while living alone and working part time, and dealing with abuse. I went through a very depressive episode that led me to stop going to school. And the loan, well I gave back the balance, but the part I used, I still owe..
I haven't been able to get back on my feet ever since, but I still keep my head up!
Lincoln Gutierrez
I don't want to give out more information on that if that's okay with you, I don't want to turn this post into a pity party or anything
Zachary Johnson
nah its fine. you should eliminate a distractions and organise your home. you cant organise your room if you cant organise yoir life. buy a white board. write down goals on one side and write down where u are on the other, draw a line from one to the other. and list all the things u need to do to get across . and just focus on that. make sure , its your number 1 priority. i got work to do rn. but im here writing this. its normal to still get distracted but. as long as you get.back on track . youll be fine.
Ryder Morgan
Your advice really hits home, it means a lot to me, thank you for that important reminder that I should stay on track! I'll do my best to keep my head up! (ง •̀ω•́)ง
Aaron Richardson
Get tinder plus or gold or whatever, one of them has a future that allows you to only be seen by people you swiped right on. That way you can make sure you reduce your risk.
You seem like a kind soul by the way, hope you dont do anything you dont want to. And i truly wish i could help you out more. But i am from europe, so yeah.
Best of luck
William Miller
Oh and i am also the person who keeps saying "sorry" and "thank you" a lot, thats why i noticed it, it is a habbit i can do without.
Noah Price
The tinder plus/gold might be helpful
And As much as the whole thank you/sorry can sometimes be a drag, I'm very grateful for the advice and support you're offering me! People can sometimes be mean, you're help and kind words mean a lot to me, So don't worry about the distance! (^ω^)
Hudson Gutierrez
Oh, i am also one of those meanies when the time is right. I love it when OP is literally a faggot and do gay stuff.
I wish i had more suggestions for you, but nothing comes to mind really. I guess just keep safe and shit like that?
Evan Young
Well in that case you're a very appreciated meanie in my books; thanks for all your help! I wish I could help you as well in exchange but I don't have much. (I can share..My marble cake recipe perhaps?)
If you'd like I can keep you in the loop with how things are doing?
Also I hope your day is going okay
Ps: ((I'll stay safe!))
Cooper Lee
Oh i am up for the marblr cake recipee for sure, always had a sweet tooth.
I'm disgusted by the current trend of egirls (belle Delphine style, etc)
It's not the job or the act that repels me but rather the approach they use, how they're proud of taking guys money and calling them desperate incels or virgins.
Or for example the amount of twitch girls that spend most of their days jiggling boobs and ass and then complain about being censored or reported/ get negative feedback.
I feel like if you're gonna do that kind of job, to be respectful of your audience and not take them like idiots. And if I'll be part of that community, I wouldn't want to be seen under that light..
