I have been watching other models room and MFC is NOTHING like it used to be. There are very few models who are actually DOING something?! No games, no dancing, no flirting, nada. Just sitting in front of the cam and staring or typing. I see so many models complaining about not making money but I am hard pressed to find a room that (as a user) I would actually want to spend time in. Am I missing something? Do games not work anymore? I have been watching for almost 2 months and it seems only the top rooms (camscore 2k+) are entertaining.
My question for all of you. . . what do you do in your room?
I am playing games and teasing and I average 50 ppl in my room. I am not making the best money yet and my new girl camscore (4300) is slowly dropping but I'll be damned if I end up like the models who look sad and bored. I have noticed very few people are receptive to my slew of games and I fear MFC may not respond well to my ideas. It used to be all flashy shows and who could be the silliest/weirdest while being naked. The top rooms still do this (kind of) but damn, its a ghost town of energy if you scroll down.
Trying not to be discouraged with all my ideas. I only have a few tippers each show and SO many lurkers. Will I be able to convert the lurkers to paying customers? Will my weirdness attract a crowd? How low will my CS go before I find out hahahaha. I have conceded that MFC is a long-term hustle and I need not be saddened that I make 4x as much money on SM. I didn't log in to MFC for 2 weeks because I was so afraid of fucking it up but I have realized I am already doing well and I need to set regular hours and post as many videos as possible on MFCShare.
I have not had a single sale for a Skype show even though I push it hard. Any tips on this? Am I charging too much for MFC? 750tk for 15 min / 2000tk for 60 min.
Just needed to vent/share as I tackle the behemoth MFC.

Why do girls offer Skype when they can just take you private directly on the site?

It ups your camscore to take tokens for a skype show and then log off MFC. Your camscore is based on time logged in and money made.

Camscore is a 60 day average, it could mean a good day you had 2 months ago dropped off. Don't stress! The next time it can jump up because a slow day from 2 months ago dropped off. Don't let the camscore control you!
OHHH I didn't realize about the 60 day thing. Thank you!

my weirdness attracts all of my regulars, just be yourself if that's your vibe! i do wheel spins, lovense, and tell silly or sexy stories about the strip club or sexual adventures i have had (or made up lol). flashes and teases along with sexy stories seems to turn a lot of guys on enough to go private and the customer requests are definitely reflective of whatever i'm talking about

either for the offline tip score boost, to take outside payment, because MFC is lagging/fucking up, or because some guys prefer it because you can see and hear them better

Basically followed you advice to a T! I was very weird and flirty and I booked my first Skype show!! He said he loved the ambience in my room and had to know me better, excellent advice you gave. And yes, the skype experience is 100x better for the viewer. And it boosted my CS lol.
I logged off after 2.5 hours because it was very slow but I will keep going on at the same time as I made a few new fans.

You have a 4300 camscore though. I remember the days when I had a cam score that got up into the 4000s. That was back in the day when MFC was really poppin, and raffles were a big thing. I remember I had one fantastic regular back then who spent a lot, and the majority of my earnings were from him. If I could find a regular like that again, my cam score would shoot back up for sure. I have ONE great regular, but I haven't seen him since August 15 (my birthday) when he sent me a 1,000-token birthday tip. I no longer have the patience to be doing MFC five nights a week. Now if my cam score was high the way it used to be, then sure...I'd happily do five nights a week again. But for now it's two nights. If it continues to drop lower, I'll probably quit the site again.
If, God forbid, you one day find yourself with a camscore that's down in the three digits (which is where mine is now...super low), you will see a difference. Way less viewers in the room and less tippers. Yes, you may have 50 people in your room now, but how many of those guys are actually tipping?
You sound like a fun model. :) I'm fun too...and funny...and very talkative. But since so many of these guys have the attention span of a toddler, and like to pop in and out of models' rooms and not even interact or say "Hi!" back, they're missing out on me. You can have on a sexy costume...have good music playing...good room topics...be engaging, and STILL have shitty nights.
I'm not getting up from my bed, dancing around/wearing myself out for two hours, HOPING that people will tip. I actually tried that once several years ago...remained standing pretty much the entire time I was on cam...bouncing around...dancing...being all chipper, and it made no difference. Not doing all that for free. It says right there in my topic that for 50 tokens I'll flash ass (and that's an entire minute of an ass flash), which includes a little ass clapping during it. Still rare af for me to get tipped for that, but then again my cam score is REALLY bad now. So I have very few people in the room, and I'm sure I'm very far back on the homepage.
I've been unmuting basics so that they can talk. I'll even open up the Family Feud Live app on my phone, and read the questions aloud so that people in the chat can help me out with answers. I mean, it's getting people to chat, at least. Because they sure ain't saying much when I ask them about their day or try to make chitchat (They just say "It's ok," and then nothing else...smh). Lol. Otherwise the silence of MFC free chat (even though I do have music playing on YouTube) would drive me absolutely bonkers.
A little natural flirting is cool (with the men who will actually speak), but I'm not about to answer a bunch of rapidfire "When's the last time you got fucked? What's the biggest cock you've had?," etc. questions in free chat for dudes who are obviously trying to get off for free...or giving them a bunch of free dirty talk.
It especially feels shitty when you have premium members in your room with a shitload of tokens visible in their account, but they choose to just lurk and not tip you at all while in your room. Hmmm. If they've been sitting there for more than a few minutes, clearly they see something they like. It's crazy because these guys will sit in free chat and watch a model have a whole phone conversation with her son while she's on cam (Saw it on Streamate the other day). Meanwhile I'm dressed in my Special Ops Officer costume or my sexy nun costume, jammin to music...ready to interact with dudes, yet I can barely get them to even say "Hi" back to me. Lol.
I still love MFC though.

Gee thanks. Sorry I'm not running laps with my clothes off and greasing myself up in a slip n slide in public for 9/10 bucks an hour. We aren't inactive because we want to be. We just have less traffic so there are less people to help keep us active and bounce energy off of or they just dont interact with me. Believe me if dancing constantly and games actually brought in the traffic and $ for me I would be doing it all the time. I've done it. I continue to try it. It doesn't get me tips right now. I will keep experimenting. It's fine for me since this isn't my main income anymore. I just so happened to try another game the other night and you know what happened ? Nothing because I don't have 50 ppl in my room. My guys want private or skype and then they leave. I've never got to your level. Some of us never will.
You are already doing just fine. Keep doing what works for you and dont worry about us boring bottom feeders

^Exactly. Glad to see I'm not the only one who was rubbed the wrong way by that other post. Like seriously...get back to us when that 4300 cam score (Mine was in the 4000s once too, a long time ago) has dropped significantly, and you've lost your best regular(s). And I am FAR from boring.....

Just wanted to chime in here ... you know what I HATE... when there are premium members in my room not tipping and I look and their tokens keep going down. So they are in my room enjoying the show and tipping other girls!!
Oh also wanted to second your comment about dancing around not making a difference. I used to wake up sore everyday because I would be dancing around trying to entice viewers. Now I just sit there, sometimes smile sometimes not lol, and I would say I'm a "top" model.

Whenever guys do that shit, I WILL call them out. I find it incredibly disrespectful when these men camp out in my room (They obviously like what they see!)...contribute NOTHING...while they're simultaneously tipping some other chick. No, I can't make you spend your tokens on me. But I'm damn sure gonna call you out for that shit!
There was a guy on ManyVids Live (who I USED to like), but the last time (or second to last?) I saw him in my room he lied to me. He acted like he was gonna do another one of those private shows where he has me model different pairs of panties for him. So I went and grabbed some. He had the tokens...NEVER went private with me...and then I saw his token count going down. SMH. I was so pissed, I had banned him. Then I eventually decided to unban him to give him another chance. But he still hasn't tipped since he's been back. He'd just come in, and say stuff like "Hi. Ooh, looks like you're wearing white panties today!" *Eye roll*
Now I won't even get ANYTHING "ready" for a private show. I ain't doing shit until the guy actually hits that private button. The only reason I had gotten the panties out for him was that I thought he'd be good for it. He's taken me private before, and he was one of the reasons I had made the Top 100 on ManyVids the one night (which shocked the hell outta me...I'm never Top anything on these sites...haha).
Also, thank you for backing me up on my other point.

I flat out ask them how many cams they have open from the get go (PM viewers) They seem to answer honestly (2,5 etc) so they are waiting to see other people tip for things and half freeload/ they are seeing who they really want to camp out at. Or they are just those users who only like public shows and only want to tip in for a show they know will happen or is somewhat close to happening.
I often ask who is in the chat what they want to see/do. They never want to play games, if they want a dance they tip for it. A few of them told me if they wanted games they would go to twitch. I try games and end up repeating myself like a broken record and they dont participate. Dancing only sometimes gets my room count up with freeloaders but usually that never seems to result in a show or tips. MFC is weird that way. There are top models who are more 'entertainment' and top models who are more 'strictly sexy' Unfortunately there is no formula we can all follow to make a million bucks

Thank for the advice guys! I've been camming a little over a year and still finding it hard to stand up for myself. I find it easier to just ban. People always ask why there is no one in my room and it's like ... do you know how demoralizing it is to have a full room and no one tipping? It's always quality over quantity.
Congrats on the top 100!! I was shocked too with my recent rating I am never top anything either lol.
Re: Games --- the amount of times I have tried games and end up feeling like a loser sitting there with my deck of cards, oh man. I make more money staring into space.....
Oh and also those guys on MFC who have been a member for 10 years and like 300 points!! Instant ban for them. Like how can you be freeloading for this long?! Am I really supposed to believe after 10 years I am the one who is going to convince you to finally buy tokens?

Thank you. Yeah, I made sure to get a screenshot of that, because that was a one-time, very brief achievement for me on MV. Lol. I think that was around the time I had that guy in my room who used to keep tipping me to play Country music (After a conversation where I said I don't like Country music, and he was trying to convince me to give it a chance...I said well if you keep tipping, I'll keep playing it...lol!). Man, I miss that guy! He had stopped coming to my room, and he was my best spender on there.
I keep logging into my MFC account to see if I have any new MFC mail, PMs, or if my cam score has gone up at all. But no, it's still in the 200s. With a cam score that low, there's no point in me doing anything on that site other than to maybe upload new stuff to MFC Share.
And YESSS about those long-time MFC members who are still sitting on 20 points. They've bought tokens one time (so they can become premiums, and be able to talk in all the rooms), and act like they deserve a gold star because they've bought tokens/tipped ONCED. Haha. Boy, bye. I can't do hours in free chat like other models...sitting there having my hot flashes, and wearing that uncomfortable-ass wig on my head. Lol.
And that PM Viewer feature on MFC needs to go!

I've never really figured out wtf to do with those guys. I used to ban them all. If they are chatting I might let them stay to get the room count up to make it seem busier than it is. Same thing with 10 year basics.

What do y’all think is a good topless goal when your camscore has dropped significantly and isn’t what it used to be?
Back in the day my topless goal on there was 1,000 tokens ($50 in my pocket)...then when that cleared another 1,000 tokens ‘til naked. And then I think another 1,000 ‘til baby oil.

Yeah, I noticed something like this too (lower viewer count in top rooms) recently when I decided to log out of my model account, and just peek in a few rooms briefly to see how many viewers top girls were getting. Not nearly as many premiums in their room as it used to be back in the day. Same thing with the top rooms on ManyVids Live. I know there was a brief period on ManyVids Live where I had this regular who was such a good tipper. And then one day he gave me a heads up that he wouldn't really be able to visit/tip anymore due to his financial situation.
A lot of people's income took a hit in 2020. Including my musician/singer friends who couldn't perform live anymore, and my karaoke jockey friends.

TBH I have no idea. It prob depends how long you want to stay on and if you count share tips etc. Maybe you can crush 500 topless fast but 1000 topless maybe it takes all day. In that case I would do more smaller goals but I think it varies too much nowadays. You gotta have lots of vibe toys. Just experiment and see what sticks. 1000 used to be a pretty reachable go-to goal and then like 2000+ per goal for top 500 models. But now I see lots of models dont have goals at all !! I have goals but never reach them. I dont work enough hours on mfc to grind out a consistently good camscore. I basically only do skypes from guys off there now so I dont have a good answer

For the life of me, I cant broadcast on here..
It gives a blank white screen, my cam doesn't turn on at all..fine w/sm!
Edit: it says flash is blocked, (by vpn tried unblocking, nope)
I thought maybe cause of my vpn, I turned it off & no, same thing!
Waiting for my older laptop to boot, I'll try it on there.
Any ideas? Please? Thank you!

I usually use the WebRTC or whatever it's called to broadcast on MFC, but I've been having a lot of problems lately with CONSTANTLY getting kicked out of my room (Which I've emailed them about...waiting for them to do something to fix this). Tonight I tried it, and it just kept sitting on the "Connecting..." screen. So I ended up using Flash (which isn't recommended because Flash is about to be gone for good January 12th, I read) because, for some reason, that's the only way I'm able to cam on MFC right now without constantly getting disconnected from my room. But since it's NOW January 12, I know I won't be able to use Flash again. So now it looks like I'm gonna have to be MIA from MFC again (I just got back to camming on that site, and THIS happens...right after I get myself a good reg. too...) until they get this bullshit fixed. I don't have this problem when I'm on ManyVids Live. Only on MFC.
Send MFC Model Support an e-mail. I read on another forum that another model is having problems with her private shows dropping. I feel like all of us should e-mail them, so they can realize some screwy shit is up with their site. I should not be having these problems. The laptop and webcam I use for MFC are both newer than the laptop and webcam I use for ManyVids Live, and I have high-speed internet. This isn't normal, and it's fucking with my money, because people aren't gonna stick around in the chatroom waiting for me to reconnect when I'm kicked out for the fifth time.

Yup they are having major server issues it is known by them, models, and by regular customers as well. The webRTC option is the only way I can stay connected and look halfway clear, All the other options are messed up pixelated cam or laggy as hell

Unfortunately, that WebRTC option (which had been great before until just recently) IS the option that's been getting me constantly disconnected from my room. The last few times on there I've had to resort to using Flash to cam, and I didn't get disconnected a single time while using Flash. Can't do that anymore since today (January 12) is the day that Flash absolutely can't be used anymore. I have no patience for OBS or encoders. So I'm really gonna need the WebRTC option to work tonight, since MFC's tech people are taking their sweet time getting back to me...

^Have you tried using OBS?
See my above post. Yes, for like a minute until I said fuck this. I have no patience for these OBS/encoder options, and it drives me crazy. I want to be able to just plug in my webcam, hit the broadcast button and start.
And I had better luck last night too. What I did was disable some of my Google Chrome extensions on Laptop A (the laptop I use to cam on MFC), and then on Laptop B (which I use for ManyVids Live) I had to sign myself out of Google Chrome. I had realized I'd been signed in to Google Chrome on BOTH laptops while broadcasting on both sites at the same time!
So if I use Laptop B to sign out of Google Chrome and just switch to "guest" mode on Google Chrome...OR I use the Microsoft Edge browser instead, I can broadcast on MFC via WebRTC (on Laptop A) with no problems. I absolutely cannot use Firefox to broadcast on ManyVids Live, btw. I learned this recently, and MV even told me themselves that their other models have also had problems using Firefox on there...and that it's best to use Chrome.

Someone on AC Forum said she's been having problems with her MFC private shows dropping. It's rare that I get private shows on there, but last night I told this guy (who tipped and thought it's okay to PM me to death while I'm working) that he should take me private if he really wants one-on-one attention. To my surprise he did! And of course about three minutes into the session my damn webcam video went black. :( BUMMER.
I usually don't like it when guys on there try to get me to log off to do Skype (MOST of the time those guys are full of shit...wanna pay with Paypal...or want a ridiculously cheap show), but with MFC fucking up like this, I might actually be fine with that now. Not happy about MFC's issues fucking with my money.....

Hi Girls,
I've been on MFC around 3 years now and my cam score has never been higher than 2000 lol .But I still make okay income . On average I make $200-$250 a day which is enough for me but the past few months viewers are getting annoyed with my cam keep lagging all the time and guys just getting fed up with me :( . I currently have the Logitech 1080 which is a great webcam but today I've ordered the Logitech brio steaming from amazon it was the last one in stock but I hope it can stop lagging so much as it suppose to be 60fps camera .
One of my guys on cam told me how all the MFC models use OBS to stream and that's how they get their webcam looking 4k and crystal clear .
It's weird how the top girls on MFC webcam never seem to lag or freeze when they have over 300 viewers but mine keeps lagging all the time and signs me out
MFC is my only source of income at the moment and I've moved back home at the moment and don't have the space to do OnlyFans content till I move back out again.It's such a shame as I love MFC and have all my favourite regulars on there .
Can anyone help me what to do ? Can OBS help with my webcam lagging and does anyone know how to use OBS ?
Thank you in advance :)

Here are the suggestions I got from MFC Model Support:
Please restart your device or computer, and your modem and router if you have one.
We can also suggest that you temporarily disable any firewall, internet security, browser plugins or virus scanning software to see if that helps.
Also please be sure that you are not signed on to your account twice.
If you're signed on through another browser or another computer while you're trying to cam it can cause issues with your broadcast.
If you're on a wireless connection, try plugging directly into your router or modem. Please be sure that no one on your network is downloading files or streaming media while you're trying to cam.
If you're using OBS or WebRTC please try a different browser.
If you use the Flash broadcasting mode you will need to switch over to WebRTC or OBS, Flash has been discontinued.
If you are using an incognito browser tab that will not work, please use a normal tab. More help with the web broadcaster is here:

And then about two weeks ago these were the suggestions I got from MFC:
Please restart your computer, modem, and router if you have one. We can also suggest that you temporarily disable any firewall, internet security, browser plugins or virus scanning software to see if that helps.
If you're on a wireless connection, try plugging directly into your router or modem. Please be sure that no one on your network is downloading files or streaming media while you're trying to cam.
If that doesn't solve the issue and you use Windows, you can try this:
http://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html
Some models have had success with the flushdns command.
If you are using a cam splitter, try broadcasting without it to see if that is causing the problem.
If none of this helps, please send us the results of a traceroute from your machine back to img.myfreecams.com so that we can better troubleshoot your issue.
Help with doing a traceroute can be found on the web. Here is a link to a tracert help page that we found:
http://www.wikihow.com/Traceroute
Make sure that the trace goes to http://img.myfreecams.com/ not www.myfreecams.com or myfreecams.com. Also be sure to do the trace while you are having the issue with broadcasting.
Please click this link:
https://tests.myfreecams.com/
And attach a screenshot of the result to your reply.
Also be sure that you are not signed on to your account twice. If you're signed on through another browser or another computer while you're trying to cam it can cause issues with your broadcast.
Lastly, please go here:
http://beta.speedtest.net/server/5904
Click "Change Server" and type in: metapeer and then use the Seattle Metapeer server to run the test. Once the test completes, Click "Share This Result." Copy the link there and include it with your traceroute information.
Thanks!

I’ve been on the site since it started, and the traffic is NOTHING like it used to be. It’s a huge bummer. Most of the traffic seems to be longtime members who stick to their favorites.
I feel like they don’t really buy much traffic anymore ... I don’t see a lot of new customers from day to day .... always just the same people in my room or friends rooms :/
Just went on MFC and the room with most viewers only had 600. Has the site be getting less traffic or?
I was on there some years ago, it seems to be more relaxed now? Less hardcore shows?

I have the same issues with private as do a lot of regulars to the site. Hence the skype BS I gotta go through. I just get them to add me and tip first if they dont tip then they get banned and can never attempt a show with me again so sucks for them. But its a lot of logging on and off which never feels worth the hassle but its all I can do on there for $ atm hopefully they fix their shit

Yeah, and MFC is THE site where your regulars are important (A majority of your earnings come from regs.), as well as being consistent with your schedule. Which is why I really, really hate the fact that I now have to be okay with logging off in the middle of my three hour shift ("Shift"...haha) to go do a Skype show for Mr. New-guy-who's-never-been-in-my-room-before (and then return to MFC after). :/ I mean, yeah, I'll do it if there's currently no tipping happening in my room, or if I'm only getting like 10 token tips here and there. But I'm not logging off MFC for Skype if one of my best tippers is in the room and on a roll.
And that guy the other night who claimed he'd do a show with me after he got off work at 12 midnight never did come back to my room. Lol. A lot of these guys who inquire about Skype are full of shit anyway.

01-14-2021, 12:12 PM
Yes it absolutely is a lot of hassle to weed out the spenders and log on and off for them. I'd prefer not to have to do skypes at all TBH. If I get someone tipping lots in my room I tell them Im not doing skype atm. Whoever is paying gets the attention

Cam score is based on tokens earned per hour over a 60 day period. The quickest way to really boost your camscore is to encourage your viewers to do privates or groups. 6-7 hours per day is a lot of time to put in at your camscore (I'm assuming in public chat) and unless you get new whale tippers contributing to your public shows it will be difficult to increase your score without pvts/groups.
With the hours you put in, maybe Chaturbate would work better and then you don't have to worry about camscore!

Is it worth buying the Logitech Brio cam even if I don't use the OBS/encoder option on MyFreeCams (and choose to use the WebRTC instead)? I look amazing when broadcasting on ManyVids Live, but on MFC I'm looking a tad yellow now. :/ If I move much closer to the computer, it looks fine. But when sitting at the normal distance away from the computer, I look a little yellow. That's probably because I'm using the WebRTC instead of the OBS. I just really don't wanna use OBS. I pull my hair out every time I attempt to use a cam site's OBS/encoder.
And OMG, I had an awesome token night last night!
EDIT: I have been sitting on the floor with my dark blue airbed behind me on cam. Maybe that's causing the weird hue? I'll go back to sitting ON the airbed this time (instead of having it behind me), and see if that helps any.
TheBrownFox
01-19-2021, 06:40 PM
So it turns out that this yellow hue issue is only happening on my newer laptop (the one I just got last month). No yellow hue issues at all on my older laptop (the one I got in February of 2020). Okay, that's odd. The whole point of me buying a second laptop was so I could use two computers/two webcams to cam on two sites at the same time, and not have to do that annoying 'clicking back and forth from one tab to another' splitcam shit. Guess that ain't gonna be happening now. I'll just use this new one for everything else BUT camming, and let the older one be for camming.

Did you update the drivers? Does holding up a white piece of paper look yellow ? Sounds like the white balance is trying to automatically compensate for the blue bed in background. You cant fix it by manually adjusting the white balance?

Yup, all the drivers are updated. And it was still doing that even when I was on the other side of the room away from the blue bed. I think you were right about the white balance though. I put the Logi Capture software back onto this laptop just now (I had uninstalled it the other day after deciding not to cam on this laptop anymore), and enabled the auto white balance. So it looks fine right now with no yellow hue. Thank you. :) Do these Logitech settings just go and change up on you at random like that? I've had this blue bed since like December 16th, but this yellow hue situation just started like a week or two ago.
It's daytime right now and very sunny, so if I were to broadcast at this moment I'd just be using the natural sunlight anyway. The true test will be tonight to see if it's back to normal when I attempt to cam on both MFC and MV. Since I'm using the OBS encoder on MFC now, I have not been kicked out of my room not even once.
MissAdriana
01-23-2021, 10:31 AM
Yes it does seemingly randomly reset like that. I make it a habit to open up that capture software often because I miss the updates if I dont. Or all the sites wont let me stream HD thats how I know its time to open it again LOL
OBS never seems to kick me off but it's like I get NO traffic at all when I use it I can sit there for a whole day with no tips. Even though my #s are way better for my stream so IDK wtf this site problem is, better quality streams used to place higher, I make more $ using webRTC so I stick with that for now

01-26-2021, 10:25 PM
Is there any way to make my webcam video BIGGER for these guys when I'm using the OBS encoder? I have two guys complaining earlier about how small I looked (I thought it just looked like that on my end), so I had to log off and fuck around with the settings, and I put it on a larger resolution size. The one guy was like "You're still small though, but it's a little bigger than before." How the hell do I fix this? I told y'all I hate dealing with these cam site encoders...lol.
MissAdriana

First where you added your cam in the sources section right click on properties make sure it's set on HD resolution there
53929
Then on the bottom right click the settings button, check these in the videos tab and make sure they are the same
53927
Then also check inside the output tab. I leave 'rescale output' unchecked I'm pretty sure thats the settings they want
