^unless you have my away button. It shuts off randomly between 3 and 5 min and just shows my cam room sitting there empty until I get back. Haha. I wish it would last long enough for me to get a cup of coffee.

okay, not that my MFC room ever got super busy anyway. But I'd like to split it with CB & BC soon. I'll test it out this next week. ^^ that's funny shrunkenviolet LOL

I dunno what happened but my $ on MFC totally collapsed. I am going to try to make payout one last time and then I think I am done there. It makes me sad because I used to love the talkative, cafe-type vibe, but lately my regs aren't on MFC any more, and the guys who show up are just troll after freeloading asshole after troll. I'm so over it.

I used to love MFC too, but it's really tough on there when your spending regs move on. I got sick of the freeloading on there as well, and guys asking "Where's __?" because they were dependent on that one reg to do all the tipping for them. Smh. Guys becoming so spoiled that even Skype raffles don't appeal to them anymore. Guys being so quiet in the room and then other guys saying "Maybe their hands are busy..." as if that's supposed to make me feel better. Lol.

They don't like you open img a new account. If you leave it for 6 months to a year your camscore MAY reset, but if I were you I'd delete it altogether and open a new one in a few months.

Last Broadcast: Wed, Aug 26 2015

and my cam score has actually gone down since i last logged in . so the 6 month mark for me was hit a few days ago so i dont know if they stopped the reset to 1000 after 6 months or there is other things involved with that

I'm glad I don't care about camscore. I know some girls do, but I never look at it. I think I made it so it doesn't show up in my profile too. I don't make bank on mfc and never have, but I like the site and like the few friendly guys I've had in my room. I think of it as advertising and just simply getting myself out there. Doesn't hurt in the long run. I split with bonga today to try split camming and it worked well.

I've done 6 hours in total (3 shifts) and made $21. That doesn't sound a lot to me, compared to most of the other first shift posts on here :/

I know this is a marathon rather than a sprint, but it's a real slog to try to be upbeat and happy when there's never more than a handful of people in your room...

sexysusie
03-03-2016, 07:38 AM
It is Cat I totally agree. That's why I find it much more fun and less stressful to split mfc with another site. I also don't put much energy in except when I feel like getting up to stretch or dance or when I'm tipped for it. Mfc is a hard slog unless you chill out and go with it x

JessRyan

^^ I've got a sore spot with MFC and just grunt through it. It's my lowest priority site I've decided to split cam with. I make the MFC box so small I don't have to see it when splitting it with CB and Bonga. I make a few extra bucks so I just think of that and the extra marketing. I keep thinking that one day I'll get that ONE guy who throws down some major tokens. LOL The nice big tippers on CB make up for it and I focus on them. Bonga is second, but at least they tip consistantly. mfc? meh I'd NEVER cam it all by itself. Alone, it's not worth it.

Accept upfront, offline tips for Skype shows and make them a little less per minute than MFC rates. That will boost your camscore pretty quickly. Once you are around the 3k mark you can stop until you need the boost again.

I do accept (well, I OFFER) Skype shows, but every single "Skype?" guy wanted to pay by PayPal. I think that's cos I'm a newbie on there though, they think I am a complete novice and can easily be scammed. (I'm not, and I can't, lol)

With regard to Chaturbate - I suck even harder at that! Even FEWER guys in the room than MFC, all begging for me to PM them. I've made more on MFC in 3 sessions than I did the whole of my first month on CB. I prefer the *feel* of MFC over CB, but I prefer the cash of SM over both.

Still, can't hurt throwing a few hours at it every week. I too look at it as another marketing tool.

If guys keep asking for Paypal, there are girls out there who are accepting. That's the only reason I can think of that keeps these guys asking. They must be opening anonymous bank accounts and shit like fucking drug lords and gangsters.

is there a way to view PM history after i've already closed the chatroom/session during which it took place? i fucked up and allowed someone to scam me into doing a free skype show (i know, lesson learned) and they made me really uncomfortable during that show, i actually burst into tears once i ended it. something about their voice and the way they were talking to me. i went as far as having my camming skype deleted (i've decided i don't want to do those at all) and now i want to ban them from communicating with me on MFC or entering my chatroom, but i don't remember their username and they are not in my tipping history.

i feel really stupid about the whole thing and will never ever do anything without demanding the money UP FRONT again. i just need to work on being more assertive, i have such a passive personality and tons of anxiety about standing up to people, so i need to learn fast.

Lots of great info about MFC in here! Glad to see I'm not the only one with a shitty cam score because guys are cheap mofos in there :( I'm thinking about the paid up front Skype shows now, I did get quite a few requests in my last session. Is there a going rate for Skype shows right now?

I gather it's slightly less than the True Private rate (which is 80 tkns/min), offer it in blocks of time (5, 10, 30 mins etc), and never take PayPal. (But then you knew that ;D )

I keep getting a cheapass on MFC who wants me to do a lingerie fashion show on Skype for him for 100 tokens=10 mins (so that's $2.50/approx £1.80!) because "it's not nude and only one outfit". I remind him that he's paying for my TIME, not per outfit or sex act...

Zefyra
03-08-2016, 12:11 AM

omg, all cam has died for me. Does anyone have the problem of having either not many or competely mute guys in your room?? Like I'll happily sit and chat but they don't even respond to me lots of the time :/ I dont know how to keep the 'sexy party' vibe up all on my own.... honestly idk if it's the site for me as I'm not very creative with games etc... but if they're not even getting involved well what can I do!

I'm mainly going online in the morning (GMT) so idk if i'm on at a really bad time... some people are at work and just camping out with no sound i guess. *shrug* My first month(jan!) was pretty good and it's just tanked.

I had a great shift the night before last when I was on 11pm - 4am (unusual for me as I prefer to be on my other site then ) but things really only got going about 3am which is about 10pm is some US states. Unfortunately during the daytimes gmt I onky get UK guys, and UK guys anywhere but aw are cheap as fuck!

Really dumb question but I can't figure it out and haven't been able to find the answer on here :(

I made an account years ago on MFC. I left camming about two years ago and am now back in the game on SM.. with a different name. I'd love to make a new account on MFC but can't figure out how to shut my old one down? Is there a button somewhere or do I need to contact support about it? Also, about how long should I wait to make another after I shut down my old account? I remember I tried to make a new account back when I used to cam on there and they said they wouldn't let me.

They have no guilt in being rude or over stepping boundaries. Being polite & nice only leads to believe they can be even more assertive. Warn once, then if they continue ban or block, they may apologize but continue without a thought. It is very predatorial.

It isn't rude to ask for money or to be paid, it is your job.

Hi there! I am a brand new cam girl and this is my first post with a question for all you wonderful ladiess!
I have been researching for like 4 months in total because there's a lot of different areas in camming that I wasn't aware of! I've learned so much especially from this site and the search function.
However I do wonder what people charge for tips. I see things like tipping menus a lot but they are WIDELY varied and I'm not sure if I might be glancing at some over seas ladies. What seems like the norm?
Also if this is wrong, if there was something explaining this recently and I overlooked it, SO SORRY!! I know you girls tell everyone search, search, search! And I have, but I didn't see anything for this.
Thanks darlings!

There is no norm or average, different girls value things differently and set their prices accordingly. Personally I would sell those items that take up more of your time (offsite contact such as snapchat, phone, mailed goodie baskets etc) for more than you charge for say flashes in public chat (which are quick and easy), and highest of all for those things which you consider high value (such as skype shows, personal pics etc). Another thing to keep in mind is that the customers are having to spend double whatever you charge. I do consider the massive exposure of a site like MFC to be a fair trade off for selling things slightly cheaper than i would elsewhere as it will help to build your fan base there which will increase sales of all kinds, including passive income if you have your video/panty stores linked.


Do tokens expire on model accounts if they haven't logged in and broadcasted in a while? Or if they change usernames?

Under transactions and fees in the T&C's it does state "MFC may modify the number of tokens held in your account for any reason(s), including but not limited to: purchases, refunds, chargebacks, fraud, customer support issues, technical errors, account inactivity, penalties or fines." I've nevr heard of this happening, but others may have.

MFC question - I see topics all the time like "all tippers over X amount get a video!". I'd like to do something like that, but I don't work MFC that often and I don't know how girls keep track of the tippers and send.

I know I can see my tipper history, but I can't click the names or anything so how do I distribute content after the show?

I am brand new to camming, so new that I haven't actually done it yet. I have been thinking about it for years and now I'm finally going to do it. I've been reading and preparing for the past couple of weeks and will start probably the second week of April 2016, after the foundation work is done on the house. I managed to read through this entire thread and want to reiterate that anyone planning to join MFC should. There is so much that I wouldn't have thought of that I learned here. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Some highlights I found here and elsewhere are (sorry they are all over the place, I'm pulling them from the top of my head and notes I actually took):
1) use a PO box, preferably in another city and mail stuff out from the same area
2) don't use Googledrive to distribute video (I will be trying Mega and Sync instead)
3) use Twitter to let people know when you are getting on and other little things going on in life
4) MFC is all about making connections, so doing things to help bond and let people get to know you is good
5) have a pricelist and stick to it (cam girls are luxuries, if you can't afford them it isn't our problem)
6) when making a pricelist everyone values things differently and that is okay
7) have at least a basic profile to help people get to know you (I didn't look at the site building stuff because I have a friend who's doing that for me)
8) have a light above and a light behind the camera and use full spectrum bulbs
9) I live on the internet is a good response to "where do you live?"
10) use a bogus company name when mailing stuff to people so it doesn't look weird when they get it (I still need to come up with one actually, maybe Crispy Snacks)
11) keep track of your VIP's (personally I think I'll focus on what they've given me total for a month and not single tips)
12) turn off auto focus and check your mic before recording videos
13) have some material ready to sell before you start camming (I already have a bunch of ideas written down)
14) play games to get the room more lively and because men are competitive
15) when shipping panties let them dry overnight, wrap them in cling wrap, then put them in a ziplock
16) if you aren't sending panties right away put them in the freezer to help keep them fresh
17) use a bubble envelop and first class mail and mark that there is clothing, don't outright say what it is
18) have an idea of what tags to use before hand since people use that to search
19) CB is the best site to split cam with MFC
20) it is good to have a couple of sites you are working, so you aren't putting all of your eggs in one basket (I'm thinking SM, the only reason why I didn't look at them as my primary choice is because of all the tech issues they have been having.
21) you can include a VIP gifter
22) don't start your prices out too low, otherwise you will only attract the cheap asses
23) don't give too much nudity on your profile
24) you can use the manycam program to watermark your stuff, so if it get's to other parts of the web it is advertising for you (make it subtle)
25) don't just sit in front of the camera, do something (coloring books, blow bubbles, cutout/oragami crafts, reading in funny voices, etc.)
26) be careful about amazon wishlists, they aren't always secure
27) lube toys ahead of time
28) have cleanup stuff on hand and don't touch anything if you are oily (towels, baby wipes)
29) look your best with groomed body and hair, done up nails, and makeup
30) use this site for easy pic sets https://www.camgirlwiki.com/wiki/Low-Budget_Solutions
31) wear a diva cup while on your period, so you can still finger and don't have to take the week off
32) send simple things that remind you of your VIP's (a pic from the web and the like)
33) have some music, pandora and spotify are options (I'm actually having my bf make ma a playlist. We are going to try something more from his era because the spenders are probably in their 30's and 40's)
35) instead of using photoshop, use one of these: http://alternativeto.net/software/adobe-photoshop/
36) instead of using media encoder, use one of these: http://alternativeto.net/software/adobe-media-encoder/
37) dry erase boards are good for games and VIP names
38) bright, colorful hair seems to attract people
39) have clothing/lingerie to change into nearby (heals, stockings, etc.)
40) I'm going to quote this one directly, but sadly I forgot to add the name of the original writer in my notes: "A little phone app called WiFi Speaker. It forwards the sounds on PC to smart phone. I have a large house, and cannot hear the computer prompts if I leave my camroom. I got earaches wearing a bluetooth, and cannot just sit in the room when not in a show like a whatever..now I dont have to worry about missing the chat rooms noises. I can even go outside! I couple this with another app called simply Bluetooth Manager, which routes the sound on the phone to the phones bluetooth. I use it when the guest has a mic of his own, which eliminates any feedback. This has made my life so much easier"
41) require longer blocks of time ahead of time for things such as anal
42) get paid upfront for everything
43) NEVER USE PAYPAL
44) make a basic price with extra options (ex for customized video an extra could be extra time or calling out the person's name. for panties extras include exercise, extra days worn, rush fees)
45) people sell pops O.O I haven't decided if I'll try this one yet
46) when charging for time have the price go up if the block of time is getting too long and they are requesting it all be play
47) camscore is based on the amount of tokens you earn per unit of time compared to the rest of the girls on the site (or something like that) so offline tips are good
48) it's good to charge for pms and c2c so you aren't overwhelmed
49) I learned what jerk off instructions are lol
50) use one of these to record skype shows and sell them for an extra fee http://alternativeto.net/software/free-video-call-recorder-for-skype/

PHEW well that was more than I meant to type when I sat down here. I swear I meant for it to just be me saying hello lol. Did I miss anything? Well at least I hope this helps other new camgirls like me. <3

So just finished camming for the night on MFC. Been camming on there on and off for a few weeks but have been more consistent the last few days. So today some dude asks me about my hobbies and I mentioned that I scuba dive. He then goes on my wishlist and the says my new scuba gear should arrive on Tuesday (over $500 dollars worth). He didn't ask for anything in return. How serious should I take this? I'm trying not to get excited because it seems like a scam just to boost his ego. Anyone ever have this happen and actually have it work out? You know. Hope springs eternal type of situation :/

Yes. This is the type of crazy thing that is far more likely to happen on MFC than any other site :D I mean, don't go all gaga over him and give him anything in return till you actually physically get the stuff through your door, just in case. But fingers crossed. I've had a lot of wishlist stuff over $100 from MFC guys x

I think that, for those of you who do wish lists, it's a good idea to mention on your camming profile that wish list gifts are just that...GIFTS, and that members should not make such purchases with the expectation of receiving something for themselves. You can word that however you want, but you don't want these dudes buying you stuff, and then turning around asking for a Skype show. Plus if they spent a lot on your wish list, like that guy just did, it may be a good while 'til they actually tip you on the site.

He's probably telling the truth, though. But yes, wait 'til you actually have the package in your hands before you go all "OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!" on him. MFC does have a lot of really big spenders (And look at some of those pricier token packages they buy...whoa), so it's always a pleasant surprise when you get a big spender on there. I'm happy for you! :)
