Choosing the right schedule for your cam shows is the first step to consistent income

Creating a consistent cam schedule is an important part of making a good income in adult webcam shows. It helps your fans find you easily if they know when you’ll be online, and it makes it easier to convert single shows into loyal regular customers. As you set your schedule, one of the choices you’ll have to make is whether to cam during daylight hours or if you’ll become a night owl. While you may naturally gravitate to one or the other, each shift has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. Can’t decide? Check out this list to help you figure out which shift suits you best, or try both on a trial basis! Don’t forget that time zones come into play here: working daytime hours in your time zone will put you squarely in night hours in other time zones. Day shift in North America is night shift in Europe, and vice versa.

Benefits of the Day Shift

• Schedule lines up with schools, daycares, and the rest of the 9-5 world.
• Your sleep schedule will stay in line with when stores, medical offices, salons, and other businesses are open.
• Many customers seeking sexual relief during the day are on a timeline, and are more likely to “get in, get off, and get out” instead of sticking around and browsing.
• Cam room viewer numbers are typically lower, and the “vibe” is much more laid-back and relaxed.
• I’ve found that there are fewer trolls on the prowl during the day, and fewer intoxicated customers causing chaos in my cam room.

Benefits of the Night Shift

• Higher viewer traffic.
• More of a “party” atmosphere, particularly on token-based cam sites.
• Games and contests work better at night, when viewer numbers are higher and members have more time to stick around.
• Intoxicated customers can be good spenders, and you’re more likely to find those customers at night.
