Best/Worst Days and Times for being on cam?

[kaynmike]

Hello Everyone!
We're pretty new to caming... just 20 days into being on Chaturbate. We've definitely seen differences in days and times when we've been on and want to get others opinions on what has worked for them on what days of the week and times of the day work best?

We're west coast and don't really stick to too much of a regular schedule just yet (have normal work schedules to work around), but we're typically on in the evenings around 7pm PST. Have noticed Monday and Tuesday evenings are generally slower... then last night had one of our slowest shows ever. But I think it was just one of those days and not necessarily anything else.

So I am on MFC, which probably isn't helpful to compare to a couple on Chaturbate, but no one replied so I wanted to jump in to stir up some conversation.

I do best in the morning on MFC. I usually work from 8am-10:30am my time. I can easily maintain 100-150 in my room and average around 250 for cumshows. I usually hit the second row of the front page during this time. But once noon rolls around and the gals with consistent followers log in, it drops to maybe 50 or so. I can't make any tokens if I sign in early evening or evening. I can do well after midnight but it is hit or miss. Which is why I became an early morning cammer, because I noticed my method worked for me. Monday mornings are my best morning typically. I struggle on the weekends so I normally don't work them.

That's really interesting and a good point about mornings. On chaturbate, as a couple, we have no problem getting to the top of the first page... it's just our tips arn't what I thought they would be yet. We'll have 1500-2000 in our room and pull in 2-3k tokens in 2 hours. I was thinking maybe it's time of day or days of the week. I think a big part of it is just building our followers and refining out shows.

I think we'll try some new times this week and see how it goes.

I think it's important to take about one to three months to try out different shifts (weekly), which is what I did, to determine the best time to cam for you.

I would work at least 4 hours at a time and could get all the way up to 10 as well. You don't have to cam that long but I do suggest at least 4 hours.

I spent one week working 8am-1pm. Second week from 12noon-5pm. Third week from 5pm-11pm. Fourth week 11pm-4am. Fifth week 3am-8am. On some of the weekends I did camathons and just stayed up as long as possible. I would cam at least 10 hours but got up to 15 hours.

In my experience, as others here have stated, I hit the most people in my room in the early morning 8am-1pm. I had the most new tippers at this time as well (probably because there were many more chances mathematically due to the room count being high). However, the best time to cam for me is in the evening. Although I had the most people and new tippers in the morning, the numbers they were tipping were low. In the evening, there are less people in my room and all of the major cam girls are on as well but it's when it's best for my best regulars (best meaning highest tipping). Although fewer in number, I had much higher tips and thus made more money during this time so I stuck with it.

Another thing to note with trying different shifts is that you meet a lot of different people, many of whom will log on when you log on after they get a taste I had this happen with several people. It's important to also firmly decide on a schedule and stick to it but, when you're new, you can afford to experiment to find what's best for you.

Hope this helps!

Personally the time slot I, well I hate it but it loves me right, is about 2am-6 sometimes 8am PST. This way I get the local pervs and lonely half drunks and the eastern time pre-workday releasers. This, in theory, would give an added bonus of early evening European and Asian (continent, not ethnicity) viewers on weekends. Just remember the eastern hemisphere is a day ahead

This is great data, thanks for sharing it! It'd be interesting to see if they have the data for the users of the site, not just the models.

At first glance, it seems like it makes the most sense to log on during the mornings, when there is the least amount of competition. However, it stands to reason that the girls with 5k+ cam scores log on at those later times for a reason.

As someone who has tried every shift possible, as I detailed in my previous post on this very thread, it really comes down to finding your *quality* members (the ones that will tip you reasonable amounts on a consistent basis) and what times those quality members log in and match it. Room counts, other models, and everything else doesn't matter as much in light of matching your quality members.
