As the title says, I've been camming for 5 years and consider myself as doing pretty well. I only work on SM, and dont feel like I put in much effort into public chat, because I've always made hwat I consider great money and so I haven't felt like I need to go above and beyond and I jsut do what makes me comfortable. I only show my face in shows, never in public, and for the most part make $100-$120/hour (except fort he last year, it's been slower). I get told almost daily that my dirty talk is unmatched. I'm conventionally attractive and fit. Yet I have only made over $1k in a day one time, in 5 years. One other day I made $900, a few days $700, more $500-$600, and obviously many more the cheaper it gets. As far as large tips coming from one person, that was the $1.2k day. I know a large part of it is I've only ever clocked 5 hours in a day at the absolute max, it's usually more like 2-4. I've only ever had 3 other guys that have tipped upwards of $600 in a single payment or session. It just doesn't seem to add up to me? When I actually participate in SM contests I usually place 200-300s, for 3-5 hours a day, 5 days a week. I know I'm not putting in max effort, but I feel like for still doing so well for so little, and having 5 years under my belt, I should've met a few more whales by now. Is this unusual?
