I Quit My Job to Become a Full-Time Online Cam Girl


Hi. I'm Cassie. I'm 36 and a new mom of a 3-month-old baby girl. I'm days away from quitting my job and working for myself as a full-time cam model. This is one of the riskiest decisions I have ever made. I have no savings. No assets. No safety net whatsoever. I mean, who quits their job with a newborn at home when they provide the only income for the family? It's insane. Right?


There were so many factors that brought me to this point. The most important one was wanting to spend more time with my daughter. I want to be there as she experiences milestones in her growth and development. In addition, I'm tired of working my bum off for someone else's dream. 


Being a cam model wasn't my first choice as a means to support my family. I would much rather do something more creative, like writing this blog full-time or something dealing with art. Unfortunately, my patience looking for a work-from-home career ran short about 2 months in. 


A friend of mine knew I was looking to work for myself and suggested being an online cam model. She said if I had an open mind and a hustle mindset, I could make enough to cover my monthly expenses. So, I gave it a shot. I signed up for a few different sites to give myself options. I took a few photos of myself to post on the sites and made a social media account to advertise the times I would be on.


On my first night camming, I made a whopping $30. I was so awkward. I didn't know what to say or how to flirt with the members who came into my room. After the first few nights, my money intake became considerably better. After a month, I was making $220 in a 3-hour shift. That's about $73 an hour. I eventually realized I could cam for a few hours a day and still have lots of time to care for my family. I was too scared to do it full-time then. 


Now I'm ready. I don't want to work hard for anyone but myself. Life has rewarding moments that are way too delicate to let pass by in a 9 to 5.


I'm not going to lie. I'm so nervous. I'm afraid I will fail. I'm also very excited to be able to spend valuable time with my family and make a home for them. 


I'm hoping to use this platform as a way to chronicle my journey from a stable income to a self-employed income without any kind of safety net. Failure is not an option, but it may be an outcome.

Green Bean, Sausage, and Potato Foil Packets

Green Bean, Sausage, and Potato Foil Packets Find a printable version of this recipe here on Whisk Have I mentioned I hate doing dishes? If not, I'll let you know I hate doing dishes. Thankfully, there are a ton of recipes that don't require using a ton of cookware. Foil packets are a method of cooking I've become very fond of for this benefit. You can make so many dinners using this method. They are great summer meals because you can put them on the grill or cook them in the oven. I cooked my packets in the oven in the recipe below. I hope you enjoy it. Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. If you're using a grill, go ahead and get that going.  Get all of your ingredients together after that. You'll need to wash and snap the ends off the green beans, scrub and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and cut your sausage into slices. Place everything into a large bowl. Drizzle with oil. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, and oregano, and toss...

Creamy Summer Squash Soup

 Creamy Summer Squash Soup This was a recipe that I was nervous about while it was cooking, but once it was done and I tasted it, I couldn't stop tasting it. 😀 The way the seasonings and the flavors of the veggies came together was absolutely delicious. I think this recipe is best when the summer season ends. All the hard work you've been doing in your garden will pay off. When researching recipes similar to this one, I found many that incorporated sweet corn. I wanted my dish to be savory, so I omitted the corn. These are the ingredients you will need: 2 yellow squashes sliced 2 zucchinis sliced 1/2 large onion diced 1 large carrot sliced 1/2 c. Hope and Sesame Unsweetened Sesame Milk/ or Half and Half 1 tbsp sea salt 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp basil 1/2 tbsp black pepper 2 c. hot water 1 Knorr chicken flavor bouillon cube Let's get into this recipe. Since my vegetables were not ready for picking in my garden, I headed to the grocery store for fresh produce.  The zucchin...
