Hi Hi :-)
So I'm new to MFC but don't have new status anymore. My camscore if it makes a big difference in 769. I guess that's pretty low.
I don't do nude in public chat, and I don't do videos. The only nude stuff I do is live. I have skype shows available on my profile, I do group/pvt/true pvt and a few fun things in public to keep it lively.
I know there are girls that do well and don't do nude in public, but they have a big following and are obviously established.
So, I'm wondering how much time (days/hours) do you guys suggest I spend to build it up. I have to keep camming on the other site since mfc doesn't provide me the needed income yet. I don't like to split cam but willing to do it until I can build up more on mfc, if I need to.
I know its a tough question since it depends on my look, personality, time on etc.
I'm just still trying to learn mfc and try to go on an hour or two each day I work on the other site just to set a presence. The other site is just so quiet and boring and I can pull off that bubbly giggly personality. The other site is totally lame right now lol you can guess which one!
I don't work MFC alot. I'm pretty much alot like you though. I think the thing is to just keep what you're doing and people will find you. For me the hardest thing is not having alot to do to keep the guys entertained. They want you to have all this shit on there, but in order to do all that you need $$$. In order to have $$$ the bills need to be paid FIRST. It sucks. And of course then you'll have guys that will offer to buy some of the things you needof of your Amazon wishlist. BUT they won't just give you an amazon giftcard, or just buy a show. They're totally just trying to find out where you live. Losers.

That's what gets on my nerves about guys on these camsites and wishlists. I know they ain't buying me shit out of the goodness of their heart. Oh you wanna buy me a "gift" yet u cannot tip me the same amount or spend same amount in private. Huge red flag.

Just wanted to say I'm thinking of joining MFC, I use twitter and EVERYONE uses it, but I'm reading this thread to get my bearings before I hop on. I use chaturbate right now, and it's been okay. Pretty slow though. So I'll try MFC (joining this weekend) and see how well my start goes.
I wish you luck. It seems like the guys on Chaturbate are cheap as hell compared to the guys on MyFreeCams, so you might end up liking MFC more. I sure do miss the days when MFC daily pay was an option for me. Yeah, the cam score thing sucks, but it was definitely a huge motivator to get me to log in more.

Currently a SM model but thinking of trying MFC for a little bit ... is it possible to do indie while streaming on MFC?? While on SM I can jump on and off if someone hits me up for skype and not sure if I could do that on MFC.

The process for starting and stopping your stream on MFC isn't nearly as complicated as it is on Streamate, so you should easily be able to what you're asking.

In my short experience, I got a LOT more guys when I was slightly hairy. I say leave a patch and shave the rest, but really it depends on your audience and regulars.

Charge whatever you want. Depends on how much you can drink and how many guys will actually buy.

Cool, thanks!! I have hairy pits and a bush and I do really well with it on SM, but I'll have to shave at least to my bikini line when I start dancing again in a few weeks. Secret bush ftw!

Same here but I think a lot of girls just fake it by using water or apple juice. Better than alcohol poisoning. Although you probably can't keep at that for too long without someone noticing you drank enough "vodka" to sedate an elephant.

I saw a girl who had a set number of shot glasses that was a mixture of actual alcohol and not. That way it was kind of a game and there was anticipation for if she hit alcohol or not.

Hey ladies,
I cam on MFC, but I imagine this is something that is encountered on all sites. For some reason the men seem hell bent on getting me to do a Skype show and it seems suspicious as they've never tipped before or anything, they just pop in and ten seconds later "hey bb skype?" Can't they chargeback and get a refund to their account from MFC since you have zero proof that you fulfilled the task? I may feel fine with a regular doing this, but is it a bad idea to accept that from a newbie?

No they can't get a refund. MFC states that all tokens tipped are a gift and there are no refunds. Just make sure you accept tokens only. I charge the true private rate for Skype which is 80 tokens per minute.

Joined MFC few days ago and I actually love it cause I don't feel like I have to try so hard to keep members attention like I had to on Chaturbate and Bongacams. Any suggestions where I could find customizable templates for my profile page? Preferably free cause I'm saving all the money for some different stuff.

MFC can and does refund tokens and suspends accounts for customer complaints for offline shows. We have several cases in the last few months.
If you do a show offline, you need to do it for MFC tokens. If they tip tokens, make sure you do the show. If the client complains, its a warning to start and it will escalate from there all the way to full site ban for the 2nd or 3rd offense.

Does New Model Status on MFC start from the first day you made your account, or is it activated when you do your first broadcast?

I think it's possibly the time you're "signed in" to your account. I heard a model saying to make sure you log out as a new girl if you want to browse cams to get the gist of what other models are doing so you don't waste your new girl status. That could be wrong but I wouldn't risk it. Only sign in when you need to edit things or if you're ready to broadcast to be safe. From what I know, it's the first 10 hours you spend on your account.

I signed up for MFC a year ago and never went online. (Still haven't broadcasted yet). I checked my cam score and it's at 1000. Is this the default score for new models before they broadcast or did I miss the chance to use my new model tag?

Recording your Skype shows is an option. You can also screenshot how long Skype said you were on a call.

Is mfc still warning crazy? Last time I logged in I got like 4 warnings for private shows I did. They even gave me a warning saying I would be banned if I mentioned "milk" again, it was pretty crazy. Considing trying again anyway and telling guys all fetish shows must be done on Skype. Mfc has always been my highest earning site for $ and gifts...

starting camscore is 1000, it goes up or down depending on how much money you made an hour, tips in free chat count more than money in pvt though towards camscore which is why alot of girls dont do pay per min pvts on mfc

Yes I am 1000 now. So excited for my first broad cast.
Anyone got some tips for me? I am planning on using DivaTraffic, to get more traffic to my room. I promote the hell out of it on Twitter but as usual Twitter guys are lowlifes and so far only one offline tip. I am so nervous!
What is the best time frame for MFC? I am thinking about evening time (GMT, I am in Europe) or maybe early morning.
I am so nervous! Guess I just have to try it. Cam score is nerve wracking.

Good Luck! :) You'll do great! My advice is to not worry about the camscore, focus on building the vibe of your room and the members. Eventually the camscore will even itself out if you are consistent and build up your regulars. Have conversation starters but know that it will be hard to get them to talk at first (I don't know why but MFC has serious shy guys who will come in your room and be silent- some of my best regulars didn't talk for the first week) so I recommend having plans on doing something aesthetically pleasing for the moments when you don't have anyone talking to you because it can get painful and awkward otherwise. Sometimes when it's slow talk wise, I do things like Ivy Trivia and give away little freebies just to get them talking. Have them guess things about you for a flash or for a naughty pic etc. usually works pretty well and gets the vibe going a little more.
It can take an hour or two for the room vibe to build. So, don't log off if it's been slow for the first hour. Give it a couple :)
If you have a slow night or a bad day then don't worry. MFC is all about long term conversions- a lot of members will come hang out for awhile before ever tipping a token because they want to make sure that they like you first, but then they can become your biggest spenders.
It always works best for me if I make sure to put prices of some menu items in my topic- the more they know what they can tip for without looking at your profile the better. :) and if you're doing a count and it isn't working sometimes it works for me to log on naked and work backwards. "Keep me naked! this many tokens by this time to keep my top off" type of deal.
If you type /help in your chat it will send you a pop up window of all the shortcuts for the chat commands.

Thank you very much for your advice Ivy! I prepared myself well, I hid the cam score and plan on doing my first shift in the next few days. Thinking about a 3-4 hour shift, not too long, but not too short either. Indeed build the room vibe, but I don't want to stay on for too long, because I am afraid that it will work against me camscore wise.
I also filled out my white board with my tip menu, have videos to offer, and some fun gimmicks in my tip menu like raffle tickets and stuff. Planning on using Charlesbot to maybe do a game and stuff.
I am not too worried about silence, lol. I come from Streamate which is awkwardville like right now. On SM hanging out without tipping is a NO, spending money is expected there for guys... I myself had more fun on MFC then SM in the past so I am excited.
I just think it is important to be myself, and not let these ' new girl predators' get their way. I turned off PMs and trying to get them to talk in free chat, from the short time that I have been on MFC before I know that the minute you log on as a new girl you get all kinds of PM's of the lowest scum of the site trying to get you to do freebies and degrade you. So that's not gonna happen lol.

I'm about to give up on this website. Everytime I log in my Camscore gets lower, assholes tell me to get naked for free or masturbate for free to get paying members in etc...Just because I'm new to that site doesn't mean I'm PLAIN STUPID!!!! The traffic is so low and now my Camscore is below 1000. I'm dancing sometimes for a hour and get not even a dime.
Seriously after that New Model thing was gone I made nothing on this site LOL
And if Myfreecams is really about being halfnaked all the time for non-paying members who are jerks to you and barely any traffic, then this website is nothing for me!!

Hi everyone
Im not sure why im so curious about this given its none of my buisness (ide like to ask anyways though) but Im incredibly curious your alls thoughts on this....
Ive been camming on MFC for 5 years now and in that time ive seen and watched other girls who were on there working everyday and being top 10 miss mfc consistently for months or years...then all a sudden you never hear from them again and they havent logged on in months or years
tal health (as much as I love camming, the freeloading drives me mental sometimes)....take a break. Maybe thats what these girls are just doing...but im scared if I take a break I feel like it might be that much harder to get a new audience given my camscore will be down and I wont have that "New model" status on any of the sites I work on to help me once I started camming again. I always feel like taking a break will severly damage views that I once had when i come back?
what are your thoughts?
laurielegs
06-08-2017, 11:12 AM
Could be a lot of reasons. Maybe they had a goal and reached it, made investments and no longer needed to work.
I've taken forced breaks from camming due to illness and when I came back I regained my audience pretty fast. Sometimes taking a break lets you make even more after you come back rested.

This is obviously not the case for everyone but I imagine that at the top tier MFC level the energy, life force and time one has to dedicate to maintaining cam score/placement is tremendous pressure. It's gotta be so completely exhausting.
EVERYONE gets burned out. It is a part of the industry. There is so much emphasis on working all the time since nothing is guaranteed in this business and it can be inconsistent, and not enough emphasis on taking care of your mental and physical health in my opinion. If you feel like you need a break, TAKE A BREAK. I've gotten burned out twice in 4 years of camming. The first time I took a week off, ignored everything pertaining to cam and came back feeling great. The second time I forced myself to push through it and ended up pretty depressed and feeling like shit physically all the time and then barely worked for the better part of a month. Would not recommend obviously. If you want longevity and happiness and success with cam you HAVE to take care of yourself.
One of the reasons this job is so fucking awesome is because you're your own boss and you call the shots. Take advantage of that and give yourself a break. You've been working MFC for 5 years so you are obviously a pro and definitely capable of navigating a well deserved vacay for yourself.
ETA: I don't work MFC so I know it's a little different with the camscore, but taking a break has never affected my earnings in the slightest. Absence makes the heart grow fonder when it comes to these dudes and their boners. Plus you will have SO much more energy and be happier once you're rested up which will lead to $$

That's very interesting. I didn't know that. According to their billing help section:
"We are NOT able to issue token refunds for:
Tips (Tips are gifts and cannot be reversed, just like in real life.)"
I've sold so many things (both physical and virtual) on MFC for tips. I've never had someone complain to MFC that they didn't get what they paid for.

Hey! Just signed up to MFC yesterday. I was getting bombarded with private messages and someone told me that if I set messages to friends only and charge people to be my friend it'd both cut back on that (some people were getting damn rude when I wasn't replying instantly to their PMs!) and make a little but I can't seem to find where to do this in my account settings? Thanks!

I posted on here before about the time I got a 1,000-token chargeback on MyFreeCams. It was probably back in like 2011/2012 or something.

Lol. This makes me appreciate SM. At least there I dont have to look at rich guys having 10000+ reward points in their accounts who still can't tip me. ;)
