Setting realistic expectations

Hi everyone! I've been camming on Chaturbate since mid January. It's a long story, but I am on paid leave from a job and took this up as something fun to do. Now I love it so much I am trying to transition *at some point* to it being my real job.

I'm in my 40s and a curvy BBW. I contacted another model on Chaturbate who is my age and body build and she is mentoring me. She's been camming 3 years. She has over 400,000 followers on CB. She also sells videos on ManyVids. She told me last year she made $130,000 US.

I am gaining about 1500 followers a week. Currently I'm just under 9000. I've been on the front page several times and last night I was in the top 10.

The money isn't amazing yet, but it is creeping up. Last 2 week period was about $900US and this 2 week period is looking to be the same.

I have regulars for sure. They're mostly not high tippers but they are extremely consistent tippers. I get one private show or more maybe every other day.

I have a few videos and picture sets for sale on Chaturbate. I sell a few, but not a lot. I am selling Snapchat and Kik subscriptions, and I've got 6 dudes that paid for that. They often come online and tip too.

I am not trying to brag, I swear I'm not that kind of person, but I have very little to compare to so I'm trying to figure out how I'm doing compared to other people.

Honestly, I think I'm doing really well, maybe better than average, but I have no idea what "normal" is for beginning cam models. Is this average or better than average?

My true feeling is that in 6 months I might be up to $2000/week. Do you think that's delusional?

I see a lot of talk around here about good sites vs. bad sites, and different ways of marketing yourselves, but frankly I don't know how much is "average" to make once you're established working full time.

If this is hella rude to ask this kind of thing I apologize in advance. Like I said, other than my mentor I don't know anyone else doing this that I can ask.

Wow! How many hours a day do you do? Every day of the week?? I only broadcast maybe 3x a week and I'm just over 300 followers!
Is it okay if I find you on ChBate for inspiration?

It sounds like you are doing quite well, actually. CB can be tricky for some models, as it is often saturated with many gals giving away the goods for free. Good for you. Whatever your "hustle" is, it's working. Stay the course! Keep your eyes on your goals (daily, weekly, monthly) and mix up your shows as you see fit. Way to go!!
