Thanks to everyone for the interesting chats on MOOTCHAT. I'll be off AIM for the next few days, but if you'd like to be in touch in the mean time, feel free to e-mail moot@4chan.org.

Hey cgl,
cosplay and lolita are wicked expensive hobbies, so what are ways, other than "working 7-4 M-F"? What are some alternative ways you fund your hobbies?

I recently lost my job and have been looking for 5 months with no luck and still have a cosplay costume to finish up by july so other than whoring myself out, i'm willing to do most anything for cash, so please give me ideas!

I used to work at a Sanrio, and when the store closed because business sucked, they didn't actually "lay us off" so we couldn't collect unemployment because Nakajima USA is the shittiest company in the world.
(SAGE+ protip: hole in the wall Sanrios are easy as fuck to steal from because they refuse to put cameras in them and the employees don't design the store, corp does and for some reason find it's a good idea to keep smaller items, stamps, pencils, phone charms, etc in the corner furthest away from the register. I also hate the company so feel free to have sticky fingers.)

Anyway, when that happened I just went to a Hiring/Temp agency and got easy as fuck work which brought in a lot of cash, so I suggest going that if you're having a hard time finding work by yourself.

I hope one of those girls who sell their panties post in this thread because I'm thinking of doing that on the side aswell, but don't know where to start or where to sell, or even how in a way to keep me safe. If anyone knows +2 invisible internet points for you if you tell us how you do it.

A previous thread had a girl recommending eBanned. Her precise suggestions were:

>Include worn photos
She also said that it's best to post ones with your face hidden/cropped from the shot. They don't give a shit about your face and it can actually ruin their illusion of "pure young maiden" since most girls over 18 don't look it in the face.

>Don't be afraid to say that "this is (your) first time"
Apparently, some of the fetishists ONLY collect first-timers' used undies. Again, that whole purity thing.

>Offer to take special requests from the winning bidder.
This can mean anything from special, exclusive photos to masturbating/urinating/whatever in the panties. You can set limits on this, of course, in your listing, but that limits your market.

>Don't be afraid to chat the creepers up
They will message you in advance and try to establish a connection so that the panties they buy are "personal" to them.

>Get a PO box at least two zip codes away from your residence. Never mail from your nearest post office.
It's inconvenient in terms of mailing, but it makes things safer if you're worried about these guys tracing back to you.
>>
>>6773203
Thanks for the advice!
I'll probably not take requests because for me, just chatting the creepers up is enough for me..
But I work 3 towns away from where I live so I could just get a PO Box there and do it during lunch.
I don't need enough money to live off because that's what my job is for, but will be used for extra spending money.
Do you happen to know how much a pair sells for?
>>
>>6773206
If you're lucky, you might sell a pair for $20 every now and then. But expect to do a lot of photos and camming too in order to get buyers
>>
>>6773206
I don't remember exact numbers, sorry. It was a pretty decent amount. I do know that she that a) she got more money as her reputation on the site built up and b) she said she gets cute/cheap undies at stores like Target for under $5, to maximize profits.
>>
>>6773209
Sorry. Should have been $5 a pack.
>>
>>6773208
>>6773209
Ew, that's like nothing.

>>6773206
Personally, I don't find it worth it, and would only resort to doing something like that unless it's something you're into (if thats the case, you wouldn't be asking) or if you're in desperate need of money, which you said you aren't because you have a job.. If I were you, I'd avoid it.. it's a bad place to be..
>>
>>6773214
>Personally, I don't find it worth it,
Neither would I. Another anon said that selling socks actually works out better because it's less overtly sexual to begin with and because you can get away with flying under the radar on ebay.
>>
>talking about selling panties to creeps like it's nothing

You chicks are weird.

I write ebook erotica for Amazon, Barnes & Nobel, and other sites.

I am not even fucking with you it usually makes me enough to buy a new dress each month but you have to be dedicated and continue to write in your spare time whenever possible. I've made it work as a part time gig besides my real job.
>>
>>6773246
I wanted to do this but they say you need to have had one book already published to write short stories for them?

I've just recently closed down my little personal business which I'd started on ebanned years ago. I'm looking for careers and I don't need anything like that showing up about me.

So I didn't do panties, I did socks. And because of that I showed my face which got me tons and I mean fucking tons of business. Guys liked that I refused to take off my clothes for the camera, that I wouldn't talk dirty past a certain level, and that I offered video of me wearing their socks or pantyhose or whatever with their item for a fee.

So if you don't want to do the "be naked hide your face" thing, you can easily do it the other way around.

Also, I started with panties but they sold like shit because they're so many of them! I had so so much better luck with foot fetish sales and in some ways it was a lot less creepier.

Mostly you need to know how to "act" with different customers. Some guys want to be completely dominated by a girl and some just don't.

You will need a PO Box though. It doesn't have to be a far away post office, just don't use your real damn name and its fine. Make a new gmail for your fake persona and run with it.

Everyone wants to hear about the cash so I'll say that with socks and with not putting tons of effort into it, I made roughly $100-300 a month. It could clearly be more if you focused on it more than I did. I also made an extra $50 or so from youtube ad revenue because I'd started an account to save footage of me wearing the socks I was selling on ebanned. After the first year, I had so much interest from my 5,000 youtube subscribers that I never even posted listings on ebanned.
>>
>>6773252
That is complete and utter bullshit.

I don't care how you guys on 4chan feel about somethingawful but go into google and type in:
"self published erotica and you, part II" and read the first page. It's got all the info you need to know to get started.

I'd never published a damn thing in my life until I started on ebooks. I just found my niche (romantic hardcore gay bdsm) and went with it.
>>
>>6773256
You're my hero.
I can't write for another month because I've got some serious deadlines, but there's some stereotypical femdom storylines I've been wanting to churn out for a while.
I dropped my email in case you ever want to chat.
>>
>>6773256
I think I may have one of your ebooks. You didn't write "Wesley Crusher: Teenage Fuck Machine" by any chance?
>>
>>6773246
How long are your stories? I'd liek to earn a bit of money on the side and I'm good at writing BDSM and lesbian stuff.
