^ I think they mean that they have videos that they've already sold on MFC that are watermarked with their MFC name, and they can't sell them on MGF with that watermark.

i'm a bit worried as i signed up four days ago and still am not verified. emailing support just gets a return email with a copy of what it says in the faq about verification. how long did it take y'all to get verified?

still not verified, it's been five days. does anyone have any insight into the verification process? i know they have to vote but damn. this is taking forever.

They verified me in a day when I signed up. If its been that long something is amiss. Are you sure you submitted everything according to instructions?

i submitted the face/sign photo where it says to, submitted a (very high quality, easy to read, i've used it to verify on other camsites) photo of my id where it says to, and uploaded 9 pics. i've put a little information in my profile but want to wait before putting more. i thought the verification and other photos were the only things required, though?

Maybe try uploading a different sign pic, just to see if it's that. Also are you using a name you've used anywhere else? Try messaging the tech guy, maybe? That's all I can think of :/ hope you get verified soon!
tinydancer23
09-10-2011, 08:26 PM
no, it's different from the name i use elsewhere. i'll try uploading a different sign and main pic... :)
eta: just decided to deactivate my account and start over with an even different stage name and being more careful about what pics i post...we'll see if it works this time.

TinyDancer, MGF has been total dicks to most BBW's that sign up through the site. I've heard 2-3 other models complaining about them for those reasons. They have some members that vote whether you should be 'verified' or not.
Sucks, I'm sorry.
On a different note, I totally told some kid off for sending me penis picture. I was in a grumpy mood so when he sent me it I sent him a reply that said,
"Sending penis pictures is RUDE, especially to someone you haven't even said hi to. Please learn some manners."
He promptly sent me a live chat request. He went on and on about how he was sorry and that he sent the picture to the wrong person. Yeah right! Hehehe, I got complete pleasure from shaming him!

that explains a hell of a lot. if my new account doesn't get approved i will definitely be giving support a piece of my mind. that's ridiculous. if i don't make money on the site, fine - but i deserve a shot, especially since they don't advertise that you must be thin to work on the site. and if i do make money - they make money. so what is the problem? this fucking pisses me off. if it were like an application site where they only accepted young, thin girls, that would be one thing - because they would say up front not to bother applying. but i have complied with all their stupid rules and verification requirements, and they don't state anywhere that curvy girls are not welcome. this is shady as hell.
sorry, i'm just really angry. i meant to respond to say thank you SO much - because i would have been sitting here scratching my head for another six months wondering why my accounts there never get approved, lol! i really appreciate it.

Tiny Dancer I've heard that they can be hit or miss in their approvals especially for BBW's. I'm not a BBW, but am not thin either (around a 10-12) it took about a week for me to get approved.
Brilynne- You can state your cam chat price on your profile page. It is kind of confusing at first cause they don't give you clear instructions. When a guy wants to live chat with you that little box at the bottom right of the screen pops up and you can click it to accept. This will put you into text chat. Once you've determined that you're going to live cam there is an option in the chat box, you then put the rate you are charging total for a block of time up to 30 minutes. The guy then has to accept the rate, if he has sent you a contribution first confirm that you received it and you can just choose to charge $0. I wish they had a per minute rate option, but I haven't seen one.

The best way to put yourself out there, well for me, I have posted a blog every day for the first few days, and then I can click on "friends" at the top and see the guys who added me to their friends list. If they haven't written me, or tried to speak to me, I write to them, to get something going, and usually they respond. I have made most of my money just on emails. I had a contribution for a picture set, and a contribution from a guy who spoke to me, and he said that was my "welcome gift". He is also planning to buy some videos once I get them up. I plan on working on some more content tomorrow. Make sure once you put content up you advertise it in the "offers" blog area.
I did 2 webcam sessions so far. You can do 3 minutes for free. I do that if they have contributed in some way. The girl who posted above me gave good instructions on how to start the webcam.

Girls just a heads up when you are uploading videos the maximum file size allowed to upload is 250 MB
Meanwhile I just spent the last 12 min or so getting myself off to find out, my file is to big, and now I can't upload it.
Fail. :-\
Lacy Luck
09-12-2011, 04:11 PM
Yes the small size limits the videos you can upload, but the way around that is to put your videos on mediafire or another hosting site and then sell the download link.

i thought they were strict about no outside contact info or links? or do they not enforce that?
Lacy Luck
09-12-2011, 07:35 PM
They are fine with selling videos, its more money for them. A video download link gives no other info than just a place to click and download media. Its not outside contact like email, names etc.
tinydancer23
09-12-2011, 07:41 PM
i know how mediafire works, it's just other sites i've worked on would probably consider that a violation of the "no outside links" rule even though it's not contact info or outside promotion, that's why i asked. thanks for clarifying!

If you're using a free Mediafire account though the file size limit is only 200mb.
There is a way around it though, something to do with converting the bit rate to a lower number after you've recorded it and this will decrease the file size. I haven't had to do this yet, but there may be something in the forum already. Otherwise here's a yahoo answers link that should help: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070501214055AAzsJTg

I have all of my content on my website server. I CAN'T just copy the link and give it out on mgf, nor can i convert it with bit.ly and sell it on mgf. I have to use mediafire, which gives out no offsite info.
ETA - they will boot you for giving out offsite info.

Sorry if this has been asked but I've searched and can't find the answer ...
I want to sell pic sets/videos but have no idea what appropriate pricing is for either (I will do full nude) or how many pics per set are normal or how long a typical video is. Can someone PLEASE help?
MissEgo
09-14-2011, 07:57 AM
Any any anything you want. It's YOUR content, nobody else can tell you what it's worth.
A while back in the Girls Only Blog someone said typical video length is 5-10 minutes cuz that's how long it takes a guy to... ya know. :P
I have pic sets that have 8 photos and pic sets that have over 50, so the price varies, of course.
There are tons of girls there who sell ALL their content for $10.
Yesterday I sold two videos (one 8 minutes, one 4) for $55. I'm non nude - they were just videos of me dancing around in a mini skirt and gyrating and whatnot. YOU price your content.

You have to use your actual information to sign up, otherwise you won't get paid. As far as your model name it has to be something you don't use ANYWHERE else on the web :)

2 things:
Does anyone else think MGF is ahhhmazzzing?! Getting to cash out whenever ... what a bright idea! Why the heck can't other webcam sites do this? It's so much more motivating to work on there, especially if you need cash fast.
2nd: for webcamming, I know you set your own price so do you agree on a price/time limit with the customer, wait for them to send you the contribution and then begin? Or does it work differently?

I do love the instant cash out option, but I find working MGF painfully tedious.
As for your second question: When chatting you can agree on the time and price. You then have 2 options, the guy can send you a contribution and only after you confirm it's received you can set the price after choosing video chat for $0. Or you can agree on the time and price and set the price for whatever you decided and they have to accept the request. You will still have to watch the clock though.

I signed up for MGF thinking it was just going to be "okay" and that I would need something better for a back-up site..
Man was I wrong. MGF is keeping me busy! It's turning out to be a great back-up site :-)
I've almost made the same amount I made at MFC for the same pay-period, and I do pretty decent on MFC... o.o

It is time consuming, but I don't mind that IF it's rewarding. We will see how long rewarding lasts ::)

I chose a name that was different from but similar to another I use. MGF messaged me and said if was happy to change the name they'd activate the account, so I did and they did. And it's already working for me!
I can see it may be time consuming...I'll set aside a certain amount of time each day to be on MGF and see how it goes. If it takes me away from MFC or my own private work without enough return then I'll let it go. I do enjoy all of it though and as MGF is a little less "full on" it's something I may do on days off.
FelixGirl

MGF is perfect if you can drag your laptop around with you from room to room. I also sign in and out pretty often to keep at the top of the list.
I tried messaging the guys like the other girls did, but it was worse for my business! All I do is stay signed in and let them come to me! I still make great money with out having to send a billion messages. I've also only ever made like 2 blogs and 3 offers.
I just change my profile image every day or every other day.
I log out and back in every 20 minutes.
I accept every live chat request. I give them about 5 minutes of talking time to buy sometime before I politely excuse myself.
and I rate every guy.
I find the guys who want to spend will spend on you even if you don't jump through hoops of messages and blogs.
Btw, I'm not saying blogs don't get attention because they definitely do, and I've only had positive things happen because I posted a blog. But I'm just saying that they aren't completely neccessary to still do good on the site.
I think MGF has saved my sanity from getting too burnt out on free-chat sites.

I tried getting verified with MGF, but it took too long. Probably because my name was similar to my SM name. I'll register with a different name and try again.
sweetsam
09-16-2011, 06:07 PM
Take advantage of the new girl status, even if it seems like nothing at first, if you do a few blogs, and get some guys attention, you can make money just from responding from emails. Upload as much content as you can, put it in the offers blog, and the money should come in. I have been on MGF only two weeks, and although this probably doesn't sound like much I have made $71 from messages, $45 in contributions, and $40 from webcamming. I only have pictures for content, I had worked on videos, and had issues, so I want to get a few videos up, so when people ask, I have something to sell.
I chose a name that was different from but similar to another I use. MGF messaged me and said if was happy to change the name they'd activate the account, so I did and they did. And it's already working for me!

Someone tried to live chat me tonight when I was just checking that my profile was still active--
I got a message asking if I wanted to flat rate him, or give him 3 minutes free. And then it asked how much I wanted to charge for him videotaping it (if I wanted.)
So they can't tape it without us allowing it? That's kind of cool.
Still, I don't want to put my face up yet online so can I just get away with dancing in panties or nude without my face?
Thanks :)

Do explain so they rest of us and the newer girls know what you are saying when you are referring to this....
because I know I am taped in cam sites...as far as MGF - I haven't seen any of my shows from MGF pop up anywhere yet..and I cam there more than anywhere else. So I would like to know HOW they can tape us as well....
I know MGF has some pretty stringent procedures and walls in place - so I'd like to know aside from a screen grabber and simple screen recorder which doesn't work because my friends and I have tried, that you know of please. :)

Thanks for the info Lacy, I was concerned about that, since a few of my cam regulars have followed me to MGF.

They LOVE MGF...They said it's the best investment next to the Sloppy Joe! LOL

I had a few guys mention me from MFC. One guy even asked me if the videos that are available on my MFC profile that he could get with my Labor Day Sale when I had my content for one price. What a moron. I have some videos that aren't available because watermarking is a big no-no.
Each time I just tell them that it's against the rules for them to mention what sites I work on, and that I may get banned or fined because of it. I never flagged the convos, but I never got in trouble either.
As far as watermarking goes....
I watermarked ALL of my videos with MyGirlFund. :)
Watermarking goes A LONG way. Especially when can sell them on Mediafire on MGF. :) That is SUPER important.

Well, when I work on MFC (well I when I do go on there, when I feel like it) how I normally do it...is I will give away a free striptease video for guys to sign up under my MGF link....once they have signed up I make them give me their screen name, and then i send it to them....normally, once they find out the killer deals I have, they buy stuff...then it's a gravy boat from there.
It surely is a science. It's YOUR rules and there is something there for everyone. When I spam - I don't spam my offers. Once in a blue moon I have done that. It doesn't pay off and it gets guys annoyed. However, if a guy says in his profile, send me your offers, SURE - then send it....but READ his profile, strike up conversations, LITTLE THINGS matter.
See where I am going with this?

And I believe that the featured girls list...
has lots to do with how much money you make, how many people visit your profile, how many people you invite to the site, overall activity....but I keep it to a minimum because I don't LIKE to get slammed with people anymore. Sure, I like $$$ but I don't want to get it to point my VIPs suffer for it. I have the luxury now to where I can go to a few of them and say Hey, I need money and I get it...I will not ruin that. :)
**Moved some to the MGF Group
Does anyone know if they changed the rule to where girls can't do content together anymore? I don't know if they changed it and I can't remember if I read that somewhere or not.
These are just MY personal things and I hope anyone who reads this doesn't do exactly what I DO - guys don't like EXACT copycats there either LOL (I know that sounds fucked up, but it's true story time LOL) I hope that you find your own sense and make it into something that is about YOU and ONLY YOU...sometime that makes your niche in the MGF community and makes you some $$$ BABY!

New content!!! EVERY time you get the chance.
I make new content, every single week.
Any time I get the chance I make it. If you are bored make it....
Like for example, what I will do is research different fetishes, make some videos or do pix when I am bored...stash em for a rainy day...start building a collection...
After time goes on, you just upload a little at a time to where you don't need to do as much all the time. I have like 6 months of content that I have yet to upload because I got so bored....LOL The only thing that needs done is watermark and it's done.
