How To Handle Time Wasters

← All Articles

There may not be a way to completely avoid time wasters and freeloaders when you work as a camgirl, but that does not mean you have to let them work their magic on you. You will always find somebody trying to sweet talk you and get something for nothing.

When you are self-employed, you do not have the luxury of allowing yourself to become distracted. These tips help you handle time wasters and freeloaders who might be trying to receive your services for free.

Know Your Time’s Worth

As a camgirl, you need to know the worth of each minute of your time. You can look at last month’s earnings to determine how much you should be making hourly. When you know that you are worth $200 or more an hour, you will become motivated to avoid the time wasters who pop into your DMs or chat.

Use Affiliate Links

Many time wasters are prone to popping into your DMs and private messages with no intention of tipping your or purchasing your services. Rather than typing out a long reply, you can simply send a link to a service. If you use an affiliate link, your time waster can click the link and still help you make an income without ever buying anything.

Say No

No can be a complete sentence, and you should not be afraid to use it. As soon as you spot the signs of somebody trying to waste your time or get a free “sample,” feel free to decline. You do not have to justify your actions to a non-paying customer.

Set Up a Personal Store

The good news is that you never have to deal with time wasters when you set up digital and physical products in your personal store or launch subscription services. People can easily purchase goods and services without you having to spend any time working out the details.

Engagement is great, but you need to know that reaching out to fans is not always worth your time. Know the difference between engaging with fans and fending off people who waste your time.
