I was 5x a week! Now I update twice a week! I havent had locations to shoot! I dont work outside of SC so its all I really do so I have a lot of time to get updates in! I like guys to have something new to see! Its also a lot of fun to do the photos! I started SC in 2009 and just did my 600th update today!

I have gone from 3 times a week with a few random bonuses to twice a week. Though a couple weeks just had one update. Sales/memberships have taken a hit recently and were not fabulous to start with mainly because I have a limited niche market. Things IRL get hectic and the photo shoots on my own take forever, well sometimes 6-8 hours beginning to end. Any tips? Need to work smarter not harder.

Wow! looking through your replies, I'm stunned. I'm brand new and we're trying to figure out how to get that many sets in? He works a full time job (hubby), plus he's my photographer, I've started working again and started a class for two months, so I'm not home when he is......... How do you do it?

dragonlady - try doing multiple sets at a time :)
Also - try taking pics yourself! Get a tripod (they aren't that expensive and they are very worthwhile). I have done all my sets myself, except a few random pics here and there.
I work full time and am taking college courses as well, but I am often able to do multiple sets every week or two. I've been able to maintain 2-3 sets in a week. I have not been getting the videos out as much as I want though.

Sorry for the late reply--I update 3 times a week, Mon, Wed, Fri. I try to get ahead on updates so I'll have extras ready and don't miss any days. Occasionally throw in a bonus set.

I will be getting a new dslr camera soon. One with a remote so I don't have to reset the camera for every single photo, grrr, the continuous setting only works if the flash is not needed. Which is why, well one of the reasons, currently it takes so long for a photo shoot. The last one was on the beach during the day with a lot of people wandering by. I had to time things just right and I just did a bit of boob flashing anyway. It still took 2.5 hours to walk to the beach, take photos and walk home. I will have to try for a 7am shoot instead of after work to get more out of the gorgeous setting as there will be fewer people.

I try to do twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays, but occasionally things get so crazy (especially with a new job) that I might only do one or miss a week completely. I try to make up for it by doing 3 the next week, I do feel bad when I don't get at least two up. :-(
Hoping to get more into the routine and put up some more fun and creative sets soon!

Twice a week with the occasional extra day added in when time permits. Try to always stay over 90 pics in every update now (in the beginning they were a bit smaller though)

I have just purchased a new SLR Camera and have recently brought back weekly updates, I really would like to keep doing this for the rest of the year, I'm hoping for some positive feedback in the way of new members to know I'm on the right track. I have over 560 Updates and have been a Charm for over 9 years!

The new DSLR camera and remote are working fabulously. I have 123 sets and have been here almost a year. 2 -3 updates a week sure keeps me busy.
