Yeah, one time I had a raffle participant who wound up getting banned for being a dick, so I got threw out his 1 or 2 raffle tickets. It's really not that hard to behave yourself in a damn chat room. If your fucktardation (or 'fucktardness'?) gets you banned from my room, that means you won't be winning that Skype show either.

i thought raffles would be fun.
NOPE. Stopped doing them. I always feel like I'm beholden to it.....what if I'm not feeling like it at the moment they want to "claim" their show? What if I'm too lazy to bake those Valentines' cookies I still owe my [awesome & patient] reg? (True story: I've been too lazy to bake anything in awhile because of the clean up process without a dishwasher. blah) Or, ugh, another vid to shoot?
Obvs, I'm just lazy, but I haven't felt like I've had enough entries to make all the effort worthwhile. Meh, maybe I'll retry eventually...
@BrownFox - IF some freeloader dickbag was "gifted" with a ticket from another nice member, I'd be like NOPE, person who tips is the person who's entered. You pay, you play. You sit there like a cheap asshole, you get the "reward" of I OWE YOU NOTHING.

Hey guys IDK what happened. I stopped camming like two years ago, worked as a waitress for a bit, did really well, then started working in a bakery and then
I actually missed camming. I guess I'm back. I can see that I didn't miss anything. I'm glad to see some familiar faces.

I hate to ask this again but I'm desperate here! I'm trying to file my taxes but turbotax will NOT let me continue unless I put in the EIN for Myfreecams. I didn't get a 1099 because I only made slightly over $400 from them, but I know I need to file.
Please please please any of you ladies who got an EIN, can you please pm me or let me know the EIN for MFC? I really need it and I've tried everything else to get this info.

chatting and being goofy in jeans and a tshirt.
This! It makes a refreshing change and guys love it.
On another site, because there's no camscore, I often log in just to have a coffee break and ask how everyone is. It's often my best session of the week.

It really makes me happy to get some new tippers on MFC, whether they're tips for flashes or just 10 token tips. I get so many guys coming through who do have tokens but choose not to spend any on me, and we all know how irritating that can be. So it's always pleasing to see some tips coming from a new name for a change, and not just the same regular all night long.

It's funny how every time an MFC member claims he's "leaving" MFC for good, I think to myself "Yeah, right! Stop being dramatic. Tits/ass/pussy galore...you'll be back!" LOL. Another member has resurfaced. Talk about a blast from the past. It's actually a good thing, as long as he doesn't forget that he's in public chat and accidentally blurt out personal shit.

I wish guys would tip sooner and not wait til I say "Goodnight!" to do so (trying to get me to stay on longer). That whole thing where they give tokens here and there to try to get me to stay on longer...a long time ago I would've loved that shit. But now that I actually make myself go to bed by a certain time (and I ENJOY getting sleep now), it's just obnoxious to me now when they do that. I'm grateful for the tokens, but damn...you've been in my room for several minutes, and could've tipped then. I think like 10 minutes before I log off I'm gonna start putting in my room topic "Last call for privates; logging off at _ EST."

i went back on mfc i think for good this time and not to do the go on for a pay period or two thing for a quick goal then disappear for 2-3 months and im trying to not be a snobby bitch I've been letting basics talk because theyre the ones that talk the most and for the most part theyre not bad but the ones that ask me to do things is what im wondering is the best to handle then. ive just been banning them to prevent them from bugging me and asking me over and over is that the best approach or should i have some emotes to spam them with ?
Snowy- I'd say to let them know you'll do x for x tokens. If they continue to beg then ban. Some guys will just never pay. Esp on a site that has free pussy dailyx100. You'll get YOUR guys after awhile an those beggers won't be shit.

I used to let the basics talk, but then some of them would always come along and ruin it with the begging or demanding. I've gone back to muting guests and basics all the time because it's just better for my sanity. Plus these guys get enough freebies as it is...there needs to be some incentive for them to upgrade. I used to have two basics who I thought were pretty cool, but then they started showing their annoying true colors. One would nag me about wanting my phone number to "get to know each other better." And the other one became a 20-point premium who tipped me once and never let anyone forget it...he'd send me long, rambling PMs...he'd ask about taking me out to lunch...he'd ask if he can send fruit to my house...and he'd ask if he could pay my phone bill for me (uh, no...those favors would require him having my personal info...lmao).
If you want to keep basics unmuted, then I think you should. I'm sure you know how to control your room, and won't let it get bad...like some of those rooms where models got a full screen of nothing but guests/basics begging and demanding. :banghead: I've seen premium members even say that they refuse to stay in rooms like that because it's annoying as hell. If you want to mute basics, do it without feeling guilty. It doesn't make you a "snobby bitch" if you mute them. It's all about personal preference. If they want to really enjoy my public chat to the fullest, and they like/love me as much as they claim, they're gonna have to get over their hurt feelings and come up with the $19.99 to upgrade...especially the ones who've been basics since like 2009. Smh.

I agree. I know my regs personally hate guests and basics. They call them bottom-feeders and would get seriously insulted when I didn't mute them because 'it was just a matter of time until they ruined all the fun just so they could get a reaction from the model.'

so i decided to sign up for mfc as a nearly nude model and i was wondering what do i have to do in private shows? and who can join the private show? and whats the difference between the private show and the group show
cherryblossomsinspring
03-28-2014, 05:34 AM
Basic Private = $6.00 per min (60 tokens per min) Model receives $3.00 per min (30 tokens per min) - You are one on one with a member. You can chat, play, dance etc. -- You may have voyeurs that will watch typically at $2.00 per min (1.00 per min to the model)
True Private ( No Voyeurs) = $8.00 per min (80 tokens per min) Model receives $4.00 per min (40 tokens per min) - You are one on one with member no one can enter.
Group ( $1.00 per member requires 3 members to start a group show) ( model receive 1.50(3 members at .50 per member) This can go up as higher but in most cases when you're new one member will try to get a private show in group by getting you to jump through hopes for $0.50 per min. If I were you. close the group when it gets down to 2 people.
I've had members ask me ( when I was logged into my premium acct) to help them take a model to group knowing damn well I was going to leave within a few seconds and the other guy was going to leave as well. So it was all really to help 1 guy get the cheapest fucking private on MFC. Please don't fall for that. Also do not watch anyone's cam in group. If they are too cheap to spend money on privates then they shouldn't get any cam 2 cam action in a group either. If they do want it tell them to tip 200 or 300 tokens for you to watch their cam in group. Usually that shuts them up. The problem with watching anyone in group is that the one person typing the most and being the most needy tends to want to chase out other members in your group so he can have you alone for a $0.50 private.
My point is just watch who is the loudest and group and that's the guy that you may need to kick out.
chloemay
03-28-2014, 05:56 AM
You can disable group shows if you want. I did b/c its too complicated for the $ to me, MFC is alot going on anyway. I can see how it would be very profitable for a popular model, but also I'd probably be the airhead who forgets to pay attention and ends up doing a show for one dude at .50 a minute.

Hey,
okay so i just started on mfc not to long ago and my first paycheck came in and considering i kinda gave up after a week and a half i was shocked that i got over 50 dollars when i checked and tally my tokens and it only came out to 15 dollars. do we get paid hourly or something?

03-29-2014, 06:25 AM
Could you rephrase the question? I don't understand (but I'm sure MFC does not pay hourly.)
Cam_Model_Jess
03-29-2014, 06:57 AM
She expected that her tokens would equal a $15 check (300 tokens) but she received a $50 check. She's not sure why her check is $35 more than expected & is wondering if the difference could be explained by an hourly wage.
I'm guessing she actually had more than 300 tokens or there was an accounting error.
TheBrownFox
03-29-2014, 09:30 AM
No, MFC doesn't pay hourly. If your check was over $50, that means that you earned over 1,000 tokens during that pay period. Each token received = 5 cents in your pocket.
If your check had been $15, that would've meant you earned approx. 300 tokens.
MFC pay periods each month are like this:
A) March 1 - March 15. Payday on March 16.
B) March 16 - March 31. Payday on April 1.

I'm having a hard time understanding My Free Cams.
I am much more used to doing one-on-one camming for a set price, it makes the most sense to me, so I can't wrap my head around this idea of "tipping" and the tokens thing is kind of hard.
I'm never sure what I should do, because I'm afraid that i'm going to waste my time doing shit to turn guys on for free.
If they ask me to do something like stand up to show them my full outfit, should I just stand up and show them, or should they be tipping me for that? I have no clue what is considered a good enough reason to tip. I don't want to just sit there looking bored, but I don't want to put effort into something only to realize that I'm getting guys off for free???
I was hoping I could talk to someone about this. I've never done any public camming before these last two complete failures and nothing I'm reading around here has really helped much.
I need some specific instruction because my brain does not work with vague advice.
Basically I need help with these things:
1. Trying to decide what I should be doing for free, and what I should be doing ONLY if I get tipped
2. If I get a request, how do I politely say it's going to cost them? Do I tell them a certain amount of tokens necessary for me to do it for them? I'm having a hard time understanding what my actions would be worth. I am not sure if I am more scared of underpricing myself or overpricing myself.
3. Some guy said something about helping out new models get started while I was camming (it was quite obvious that I was doing really shitty) and said that if we skype, he can give me some tips??? I said no because I had no idea if I should trust him or not and I found it kind of weird that he would just do that for free and I have no idea if you can get info about someone when you skype them and I don't even DO skype so I'm wondering if it was right of me to turn him down?
4. Someone pm'd me and said that he'll give me 2,000 tokens if I cum and I said no because I have no idea how that works, like, would I ask him to give me the tokens first and would I switch to private with him? I don't even know how to do private with someone.
I feel really dumb but I'm just so... lost...
There are a lot of qualities about me that make it hard to cam successfully and I'm not sure how to emphasize upon my positive qualities in order to overshadow my shortcomings. I have Asperger's so there isn't much changing I can just do in a short amount of time but I have a serious hunch that camming is going to be the best work for me if I just stick to it.
I'm sorry this was so long I'm just having a difficult time and I refuse to give up. I'm taking this very seriously and am working on buying things to improve upon my shows but I need to make money for that first and it's difficult.
Any help will be so greatly appreciated I will love you forever
If they ask me to do something like stand up to show them my full outfit, should I just stand up and show them, or should they be tipping me for that? I have no clue what is considered a good enough reason to tip. I don't want to just sit there looking bored, but I don't want to put effort into something only to realize that I'm getting guys off for free???
it really depends on how you can work it some can get away with just sitting on a bed and talking others move around on a bed and act super sexy others stand up dance move around. if you want to make mfc work you have to do what works for you no matter what it is.
1. Trying to decide what I should be doing for free, and what I should be doing ONLY if I get tipped
This really depends on you and you feel some things are worth - some guys will pay some wont but thats ok because what your doing is building up a fanbase of guys who like you and the way you work ur room
2. If I get a request, how do I politely say it's going to cost them? Do I tell them a certain amount of tokens necessary for me to do it for them? I'm having a hard time understanding what my actions would be worth. I am not sure if I am more scared of underpricing myself or overpricing myself.
You should be using the topic of ur room as a tip menu or make a profile and have a tip menu in there start off with what you think ur worth and then if your goals are getting met faster then ud like up them
3. Some guy said something about helping out new models get started while I was camming (it was quite obvious that I was doing really shitty) and said that if we skype, he can give me some tips??? I said no because I had no idea if I should trust him or not and I found it kind of weird that he would just do that for free and I have no idea if you can get info about someone when you skype them and I don't even DO skype so I'm wondering if it was right of me to turn him down?
yes that was right to turn him down i feel for this when i was no and he never helped me just talked to me for free for a little while until i blocked him
4. Someone pm'd me and said that he'll give me 2,000 tokens if I cum and I said no because I have no idea how that works, like, would I ask him to give me the tokens first and would I switch to private with him? I don't even know how to do private with someone.
he was asking you to do a public cum show probably - if he really meant it that was 100$ ur cut u missed out on ...

I think that once you fill all the information they don't contact you anymore maybe one email with a password once you fill the payment information, that password is to use in case that you need to change the payment method in the future.. You need to check those steps and if all of them are green flagged it says something like you can broadcast now. If there is a a red flag you need to do that step again until they approve it. Usually they approve the ID within 24 hours, if you already had an old account with them that could be the reason why they are taking too long.

i like the rate and admire for me ego's sake (not a good enough reason, i know!)

I still see models saying in their profiles (or room topics) "Please rate and admire me, guys! It helps my cam score!" I wish they knew that it doesn't. Yeah, I appreciate the gesture too, but if guys really want to help me out, tokens are appreciated. That's even in my topic often: "ALL tokens are helpful/appreciated." Even if it's not enough for a flash, at least it can go towards the room topic and get me a little bit closer to topless/naked.

Yeah. I went back to my old ways and started doing topless/naked countdowns again, and I'm sticking with that. I like how it's going so far. Last night they actually got me topless without my #1 reg being there. I was stunned. And this guy who wanted me to watch his cam actually did tip 100 tokens for me to watch it. I couldn't believe it. Lol. Like the Twilight Zone or something.

Yup, that's Group Show. 10 tokens per minute for each member. I actually don't bother with groups because it used to piss me off being expected to fuck myself for so few tokens (those guys never stayed long enough to make it worth my while). Some models get long Group Shows though, so for them it may actually be worthwhile.
I just do privates and true privates. I used to say "Dildo in true private only," but I've changed my mind and decided to go ahead and use a dildo in regular privates too.

If you are seeing a huge $ difference just one and I would devote all your hours to that time of day but if after one payperiod your still not sure, or its close go for a 2nd one switching your hours up, it couldnt hurt.

I know in the Raise your rates thread, it's often been suggested to stick it out (when trying a new rate) for at least two weeks. Since the new pay period just started and each one is two weeks, this is good.
If, at the end of this April 1 - April 15 pay period, you find that things were "worse off" than before and find yourself regretting camming at those times, switch to a different time. If, at the end of the pay period, you find that things were pretty much the same, the decision really just comes down to which time you really prefer. If you find that you actually did better, maybe that should be your new time. Whatever you decide, you're sure to earn yourself some regulars, which is good because regulars are a big deal on MFC...they probably make up a huge percentage of your earnings. So once you've made a decison and are pretty good about staying somewhat consistent with times, you should be good. Let us know how it goes!
