Yes bb is just a name mostly used by freeloaders and any decent custie knows that it's a word that's gonna make him look like a moron. I hate it too, lol.
I don't know about this question except for the second part I think that it does not hurt to add models if you can figure it out, To me it makes you seem like you have a personality and are not full of yourself. Also, they are already on your page, and if they're gonna stray elsewhere then I think they are ready to leave your room anyway..
My camscore is absolutely horrible. I have not been working MFC like I am supposed to and right now mine is at about 500. I barely go on there anymore cuz I am so frustrated and I think that the camscore does make a difference in a lot of customer;s minds. I think they should just do away with it, but if I had a nice score of 10000 I'm sure I'd feel differently :P Nobody really knows exactly how it is calculated, but it has to do with how many tips for how long you are on there.
I saw that the wiki said that too, pretty darn ridiculous if you ask me!!
I also never have more than 20 viewers at a time since I haven't built up any regulars since the half dozen times I've been on there.. I started probably a month and a half ago. I think that consistency with your schedule, going on the same time every week, helps with attaining more viewers though.
I am in the same boat as you. I'm starting a new vanilla job tomorrow, but other than that have been unemployed and any night I make any sort of money on there I get way overly psyched :D
I don't know about the other questions that I skipped. But good luck and let us know how it goes =)

Hi!...And do you think this could hurt since someone could look at my profile and then go view a model I have listed as a favorite instead of me?
- How important are the cam scores and how is it calculated? ...
The wiki even says to ignore the score, so why do they even have it at all? Bah! I don't even understand it and I hate it. :grumpy:
- For offline tips, (I don't remember on what page) TheBrownFox said to use our Model ID # alone with the offline tip link. So I've got the link, but can't figure out where to find my ID #.
- How do I get more viewers? I don't think I've had more than 20 at a time (and that includes guests, basics and premiums). I know that part of it is just from being on the site long enough to gain followers, but how do I get the followers?
- I didn't see anything about this throughout the thread, but wanted to ask opinions if it would be a good idea to follow similar models (whether they are cam models on MFC or have their own website elsewhere) on Twitter or do you think that could hurt the traffic I get to my links/cam? Just curious if anyone else does this and if it's worked out for you.
- And lastly, can I just say as someone who has been looking for full time work outside the home for the past 2+ years, I am highly (and overly) excited that in the past 4 days I have made $35.05 in tips. :hyper: I'm sure at some point, I will look back and be like $35? What are you nuts? But for now, I am so happy to have something other than zero's staring back at me.
- And wait, and this is the last thing. Really. Is there a way to see how many hours I was logged on cam on a certain day? I
Favorite models should at least consist of yourself. add other models as you want to this probably will not affect your traffic and makes you look like you are into watching girls too
My best advice for camscore is that it goes up 1 point for each 10 tokens made while online and double that for offline tips. Also camscore tends to tripple results from a tip over 500 tokens while offline. Easy tip to get money and score maximum ; go away and claim you have to set up for private chat, get the user to tip offline and then come back whenever you can. May not always be possible but it seems to work for the days when I just log into chat only at the beginning of my shift and I get a regular to tip in advance for his request.
Offline tip link is http://www.myfreecams.com/mfc2/php/tip.php?request=tip&username=YourNameHere
To gain more viewers you need to stand out of the crowd somehow. I won't give you all the answers but be creative with your outfit, camera angle, "work" platform, The more kinky and "out there" you are the more dough you can make on MFC. To each her own comfort level.
DO follow other models...their followers may become your followers or at least some. The conversion rate on twitter is extremely low but it is a good place to get in touch with other models to work together or to chat and help out on the fly.
good luck, let's hope next week you double those earnings.

mine almost at 400 its 390 slowly slowly it will be 500 thats the goal right now then 750 then 1000
If it makes you feel better, my cam score has been in the 400s before and I worked my way back up. My best regs are the ones who were with my when my camscore was non-exisitant.

- And wait, and this is the last thing. Really. Is there a way to see how many hours I was logged on cam on a certain day? I haven't been keeping any kind of exact record yet. From what I've read in this thread, I know that the $35 I made should have been done in about 2 hours of camming, but it was probably more around 5 or 6.
Oh yea also your hours are listed under "token sessions"
It says
Private Tokens: xxxxx
Voyeur Tokens: x
Group Show Tokens: x
Tip Tokens: xxxxx
Returned Tokens: x
Token Fines: x
Total Tokens: xxxxx
Public Time: xxxx Minutes
Away Time: xxx Minutes
Private Time: xxx Minutes

So question--- Skype pricing on MFC- I know it should be in tokens according to MFC but it seems a lot of girls either sell their skype name with tokens and/or have open skype but charge off site??? Apparently MFC doesn't really crack down on this?
I know I should price it at what I value myself at etc-- and require a minimum time limit etc-- but I really would like to have an idea of what the average is in general-- more or less than the token amount-- if more/less quite a bit?
Since I have no idea on what is normal when someone says it's too high/too low I am confused on whether it actually is or if I should stand my ground--
I guess I feel if I knew generally what was normal I'd feel more stable in my own pricing..
(I also don't want to go too low and undercut other camgirls-- I tend to keep my goals etc higher than average)
I go with a minimum session of 20 minutes. I charge 60 tokens per minute and offer blocks of 20, 30 and 60 minutes. They pay as much as they would pay for a standard private but get a true private experience. I've also started offering payoneer payments arranged 2 days in advance (once the private load has been submitted via payoneer it takes 2 days to reach your account. I make sure I stick to it so that they can't take their money back). I charge $60 for 20 minutes via payoneer which is equal to 1200 tokens. It works out cheaper for them though. The good thing about taking tokens for skype shows is that they raise your camscore (or shall I say scamscore) as they are normally tipped offline or minutes before you log off. However it's nice to have a payoneer option when you need quick cash. I also offer payoneer for custom videos and if they just want to send me a cash gift without having to share with mfc. I'm sure it's against mfc rules but let's just say lots of things happening on that site on daily basis are.

i have a guy who wants to do a long skype show. tells me that because he is a platinum member he only tips during the middle of the show. i explained that i need tokens before the show. he keeps saying his minimum tip amount is 4500 tokens. is any of this true?
he also says its an unspoken rule in the lounge. my BS meter is ticking!
I have a guy who has almost 300 000 reward points and whose profile is full of praise from most of the top girls on mfc. He's done hour long skype shows with me before and now wants to do a 3-4 hour session. However he wants to pay for the show 'once it's finished' and 'would he ever lie to me?' and 'I thought you trusted me' and 'oh ok I guess you're not interested in earning money' BS. Arrrh I'm beyond pissed off

Hey MFC gals - I have a question. Any of you girls do stuff in your house and use sound effects to give the impression that you are out in public? Like, we saw someone earlier who was clearly out in public, but the noises sounded like they COULD be fake if she wanted them to be, lol.
My roomie and I are talking about it, but not sure if it would work. We're also talking about maybe actually doing it out in public, but how does that work? Is it illegal to do stuff like that and have just strangers walking behind us without their consent? It sounds like it would be. We're just seeing how much we can do on there :)

Filming porn in many places is illegal. Doing a show outside/in public is also highly likely to violate your local obscenity laws. You might want to look up the ones for your area to be sure.
However, as far as faking an outdoor show goes that would be up to you. You could risk highly offending your regulars if they find out you faked it. Or no one could give a fuck. It's camming, and there are no rules to success.

I suggest faking it because it is illegal or at least frowned upon in most countries, to be nude or performing lewd acts in public with the general non-consenting population.
How I fake it: Glory box set up in my back room. i basically built a "dressing room with 3 walls, mirror and glory holes on each side. get your roomate to put a strap on in the hole or even a real one if you find someone to "sign on" for the project.
audio of a public place can be added for effect, it's definitely a nice touch. That may not satisfy any public sex fantasy but a lot of them. And you can try to set up cam in an open garage that faces a back yard or alleyway, keep a robe handy and edit a clip to make it look more realistic. Also if you have an enclosed porch or balcony out of sight from public eye shot you can put the cam facing you and do a show in the doorway, i have made custom clips like that and guys ate it up.

The last couple of nights there's been times when I was broadcasting (on my end, at least), but my regs in the room would be like "We can't see you, fox." So I'd have to close my chatroom and come back. I'm glad they tell me, because one day I sat there for damn near 30 minutes, and no one told me that there was no video showing...until like 30 minutes had passed. I was PISSED.
See, on MFC we gotta stress about our cam score too, so it sucks when time is wasted like that.

That was happening to me Sunday morning (like 6/7am PST). I had to restart my chatroom 3 times and it was always right as something was happening. I flash the room and they tell me my cam was froze so they all missed it. And there was a regular in the room (does coming in twice and tipping both times count as a regular? lol) and I don't think he would lie about that. But funny enough they could still hear me.

I'm trying really hard not to be boring I've tired games I have cards and did high/low a few times no one tiped me those days I even went and spent $10 on a bingo set and i got nothing.

Days like that are one's you want to not even go online. Day's like that are what made me just settle for the goal of "don't not make any tokens". Makes me wish the profile of the model was visible while in chat to keep them there reading and starring.
Hmmm ever just try to pretend like you have a little secret (toy inside already or something nsfw), giggle and don't talk, just say thank you and and dance around, pretend you are more into yourself than they are lol.... Put on an act, a little theatrics never hurt. I do this and get a lot of response even though I am not talking to anyone I say thank you daddy over and over. ( I only had one girl tip so far and I said mommy) Also I pretend to be doing things when the room is dead, I pretend to be watching a users cam, talking on the phone 'doing' phone sex,Porn tube playing on my TV in the background lolz. I think I heard that's called perpetrating once IDK
Play a humping game, see how many inanimate objects you can hump in free chat, do a booty clap for each entering user. Tape your body up and charge to remove the strategically placed tape (my fave). I have dice that i roll while in free chat for posing positions too ( I have sex dice but you can number a dry erase board or set in topic what each number should represent as a guide for users), keeps the thinking out of my day partly. Dayumm I have a lot of ideas but most importantly I think the guys like random games and something from your brain and something that is within your comfort zone.

Want to know my 'secret'? Be insane. Have you ever watched the A-Team (the TV show, not the new movie). I channel my inner 'Murdock'. I make up songs and sing out-loud about how everyone on MFC sucks, I read books outloud. I tell stories to no one. I don't really greet anyone. I am just doing my thing when they come in and either they stay or they don't. If they give me tokens I'll talk to them.
In summary: Pretend you are every insane character you have ever seen on TV and throw some sex appeal in. That is how I build my regulars on MFC. ;)

^^^ Haha, i do stuff like that all the time too, when my room is full and no one is talking i threaten to put on the worst pop songs i can think of sing to them (i cannot sing to save my life) and i always follow thru! Now it has actually become a bit of thing in my room and the regs get a good laugh and it attracts new guys who like that i have a sense of humor about the whole thing. Plus it keeps me busy so i dont get all frustrated that no one is talking, otherwise i would just look all pissed off!
