I recommend that anyone with questions about MFC at least read the first page of this thread. MissEgo did a good job putting lots of info in that first post. Plus some of the posts in here is just some of us talking about how our day went on cam. So if you don't feel like reading all 30 pages of this thread in one day, just read that first page, and maybe a couple of the end pages.

I am hanging ... man I am hanging. If I wasnt a calm person , this would drive me nuts. This would be a god dose of humble pie for camgirls that are use to banking I ate two today ;) yummy
I have a question, ok 2
Is it normal for the :tenmin and :fivemin not to work after it counted down and finished? Cant figure out what will get them tipping. I am streaming HD if that may have a effect, IDK
ALSO
what is the going rate to view cams these days?
Been creeping the AC forum as well, so im digging but some questions... I cant find a answer for

Sometimes the timer resets when it ends, and sometimes when I type it again it'll start at some weird middle time, but I've asked and the guys can see the correct time on it.
As for it getting them tipping, it's a combination of threats, pouting, eyelash batting, 99% luck, and swagga lol

Tryed something new today and it seems to be helping out when i have about 4-5 guys in my room that have tokens or hidden and i wasnt being tiped i posted this
If you're enjoying yourself please show some thax and appreciation by spending a few tokens on me every contribution helps my countdown and I’m grateful for.
And even tho I only got 80 tokens today without posting that a few times I probably would have gotten about half that (maybe less :/ )in the two 1 hour shifts an hour apart from each other that i did. And I was and using the timer emotes

yeah charge 40 tokens a min or tell him to go pvt or charge a flat rate one of the tops i watch charges 2000 tokens flat
and yes those are all the timer emotes on the site as far as i know theres tens of thousands of emotes. all the ones we use that arent yellow circle headed type similes were submitted by cusites or other models are kept in a database on here - http://www.myfreecams.com/mfc2/php/user_chat_images.php?cache_id=undefined
you need to be loged into a model or custie account to get the page up log in as a 'guest' and u just get a white screen on ur browser

Answer to question 1) this has been asked and answered at least 15 times in this thread already. The no public masturbation rule is there so MFC can push it off on you if they get in trouble. The rule is actively broken and the honey badger gives no fucks.
Answer to question 2) Depends on your computer specs too. Slow computer and no upload will save you. That said, mfc has relatively low needs for non-HD streaming. I know some who use .3-.5. Me, I have 5 up.
Wow. MFC seems better for me. I wish I could make it work for me. My computer is not at all compatible with SM's HD encoder.

I actually thought :fivemin and :tenmin were the only two timer emotes there were, so I'm glad that snowy posted the codes for other ones. :) The :fivemin one automatically resets when it gets to the end, and that drives me crazy! I like the :tenmin one more because that one doesn't reset. It stops at the zeros.
Some models charge 100 tokens to watch a guy's cam, and some charge 200 tokens. I tell them I'll watch cams in private. When you watch a cam while still in public chat, it's VERY annoying having to go back and forth from PMing that guy and typing in the public chat. Every time you go back to type in the public chat, it minimizes the PM window of the jerking off dude. It's kinda awkward to be PMing a guy about his dick, and chat with guys in public chat. Plus I think guys doing cam-to-cam should be paying for that individual attention. And if he's one of those guys who jerks off maaaaad slowly like a turtle (how can it feel good when you're stroking that slowly???), who knows how many minutes you'll be sitting there watching his cam.

When using the model web broadcaster there is a little wrench that says options next to it near the bottom.
Click that.
Then, in the last tab uncheck HD.
HD causes custies to get a lot of lag on mfc, so I always have it off. I get more complaints when it's on.
TheBrownFox
05-23-2013, 04:10 AM
On the model web broadcaster, there was an option for 'HD video' and then 'Beta HD video'. Every time I checked off the Beta HD video option, it caused problems. But clicking the regular HD video option was fine. The weird thing is that sometimes I'd just click the regular HD option, and it'd go back and uncheck itself. I was like wtf. Kinda like how on the Logitech webcam software, a person can turn off Autofocus, but then Autofocus goes back and checks itself. What I'm saying probably doesn't even make any sense and sounds like rambling...lol. I need my Claritin-D and a breakfast sandwich from Subway. Good morning, ladies! :P

You can buy smaller token packages. (Ex: Click "Purchase Tokens" below the main packages is an option you can click for smaller packages. 95 tokens in $9.99. The guy probably had that clicked and was too derp to change it)
But 100tkns for 10min on skype :( That's 50 cents a minute :(

Every time someone is giving excuses for why they "can't" tip, I remind them that there are token packages as low as like $2.49/$2.99. I'm sorry, but if you're in my room announcing to everyone that you've just bought yourself an iPad, yet you're in my room every night not tipping, it convinces me that you don't respect that this is my job.
100 tokens for 10 minutes on Skype is really cheap. He's basically getting a one-on-one private show (aka 'true private' on MFC) from you that you're only getting $5 for. Are you logging off MFC immediately to do the Skype show, or are you agreeing to do it at the end of your MFC shift? I know you want to help your cam score, but by logging off asap (for the Skype show), you're leaving behind other potential tippers who will go to a different model's room when you log off. Trust me, one day you're gonna look back and be like "Wow, I was offering 10 minute Skype shows for only 100 tokens???"

You're charging too low for that many minutes. I think you should reevaluate your camming if you charge that low & still aren't making money. I don't mean this in a mean way but that is not what our rates should be.

I don't want you to think we're trying to pick on you or tell you what to do. We just don't want you to get taken advantage of by some of the "Got Skype, bb?" guys on MFC. 100 tokens is actually the price many models charge per raffle ticket (for Skype show raffles and stuff). If you ever decide to do one of those, that'd be cool! :) And then you could have the raffle end on the last day of the MFC pay period (May 31st, or June 15th if you did it next pay period).
Do you have in your room topic how many tokens you require for each flash?
Aw, don't ever feel that being a bbw means you have to charge very little. :( I don't think that's true at all. Hopefully other bbw's will chime in.

I use skypes only when I need to boost my camscore. Most people who run around asking if you have skype do it because they're too cheap to pay the priv/trueprivate rates. My skypes are the same rate as true-private, so I only get a couple takers on them because they aren't uber cheap.
That said, I absolutely LOVE my skype guys from mfc. Like, hugs with bacon love.

No, doing without Skype will not screw you over. There are plenty of models who don't do Skype, and they do fine without it. If you're torn between whether or not to do them, you could always just avoid mentioning Skype in your profile/room topic, and just have a price in mind for when guys do ask about it. Keep in mind that a Skype show is basically an MFC true private (those are 80 tokens/minute), so when you see models charging like 2,000 tokens for 30-minutes of Skype, it's because they don't want it to be too discounted, and they want it close enough to the price of a true private.
If you want, you could save Skype for 'highest tipper' contests or monthly/weekly raffles.

Well you already have the first step to success which is desire. I think you may need to investigate some type of fetish you could specialize in. Something to make you stand out. If you want to pm me with your name I could check you out & give you some makeup and hair tips too.
Sometimes we try to be what we think a camgirl should be like. But if iits not earning its not working. So we need to be more of ourself and then we will attract a different clientele. There is only one you.

If people on your friends list pretty much never chat with you/tip you anymore, don't be afraid to delete them (this includes guys on your friends list who suddenly turn into lurkers who never speak to you/tip anymore).
The 'one hour a day' thing is a good idea. I stay on MFC for an hour (one hour from the time I tweet "I'm online!") before deciding to log off early. Let's say it's 12 midnight when I get on cam. If it's taking too long to make my topless goal, then at around 12:50 I'll post the :tenmin timer emote on the screen. When the timer runs out at 1, I thank those who did tip, say goodnight and log off. And I log off the model web broadcaster asap too, so I can just get outta there without people on my friends list PMing me to death...lol. The first thing I do when logging off MFC is turn my light off. I don't need those bright lights on unless I'm actually being seen live on cam. I'll log onto AdultWork paid chat only mode, and when I get a paid show on there, I'll quickly turn the light back on.

I don't recommend this at all. I did that a few times until eventually MFC informed me that if I wish to work there, I have to continue using the current account (they didn't want me starting over making a new one). I was pissed at first, but now I understand where they're coming from, and am glad that's the rule. We can't get into the bad habit of closing our accounts and making new ones, every time our cam scores get low. It's up to us to do what we need to do to improve our cam scores. Besides, it will just annoy/confuse your regulars every time you close an account to make a new one.

Yes, every MFC model struggles sometimes with her goals and has slow days. A good night for one model may be 400 tokens per hour, but for another model 400 tokens per hour may be considered a bad night. As your cam score gets higher, so will your goals.

do u think 200 for topless with my cam score (320s )is too much or not enuf and theyre not taking me seriously ?
I am not an expert on MFC by any stretch of the imagination but I have found that you also have to give them 'small things' that they can give you small tips for. I find it a lot easier to get 10 TOKENS out of someone then 100 TOKENS.
