I have the technology part down! It's just the people stuff I'm working on xD
I'm currently on streammate. From what I've read here, MFC looks pretty crazy!
Thanks ^.^

Thanks everyobe for this thread, I've been finding camming super slow lately (and sometimes it just IS)... working on aw, Saturdays are usually my busy days and the past couple of weeks with school holidays plus the start of football season its been RUBBISH. It helped to come here and read how others have slow times too, and kick myself out of that headspace that has me saying 'oh woe is me, it's obviously cos I'm not doing it right' *blah!*
After reading today I've spent time making a couple of vids, updated my movies on C4S and aw, and I'm putting in an extra few hours online this evening. Gotta keep slugging at it!!

Soooo, Wednesday/last night was pretty different from my "usual" MFC schedule. I'm usually on from 8-11pm PST but I found that I had more traffic closer to the end of the shift.
I logged out ocassionally to switch over the SM. DUUUUDDDDE. SM has been a total disaster for me. So then I'd inevitably switch back to MFC. Frustrating.
I'm hoping Thursday picks up a bit.
Regardless, keep up the good work I know we're all doing. Persevering during these slim times will be worth it at some point!

I went on for a few hours this morning (12-3am UK time) expecting it to busy because the American guys would be more "alive" than during my normal times, and it was pretty shit. Disappointed. :-( Actually, first half hour was good, then it turned to shit. And banned 3 guys in that time. :-(
Vlondina, I just want to threadjack and tell you how sexy you are. That's all. :)

What? That's crazy! I just started splitting SM with cams in the past 2 weeks and I get much more paying traffic on cams than SM. And I don't give it too much attention. I also probably need to add another site. I don't understand why SM hates me lately.

I remember when Friday was my best night of the week every week without fail. I'd kick ass and take names. Lately they make me want to kill myself. I need to try a few other sites as well, and get a new laptop since SM sucks on this one. I signed up for Chaturbate a month ago, but have yet to broadcast. I really need to get off my ass and do so. If I don't do well my first hour tomorrow, I think I'm going to try it. It won't hurt anything to do so. Once I get a better laptop, I need to set up split camming. I just am afraid I'll miss some one trying to go pvt or something. Stupid anxiety over nothing that will really be a big deal in the end.

Strange this must be a new rule for adultwork. I just used my DL to sign up but that was I believe in 2011.

Hi!!! NF is only phone calls? And MGF what company is? There are free chat in chaturbate and cams.com? Naked dont accept anymore european girls :(
I try to split in mfc and imlive but if i try in other more site my quality cam gets bad....i have logitech c900 and 10 megas internet.

Chaturbate is like MFC, all about free chat, public shows and just few privates. MGF=MyGilrFund doesn't accept you if you a)don't have English as mother language or b)you live in a country where English is not the language spoken. My application was refused for one of these reasons. There are threads for Chaturbate,MGF and NF you can read them. NF is a site for ladies who got they own traffic.

Thursday I did my first hour with the SM encoder... my room was never empty and guys were chatty...but I made 70 cents (two dollar tip) no one wanted to go to private they kept asking for a gold show - i don't do them- and then were angry if I didn't flash for free. WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT. today better not be more of the same!

The whole week has been like that. Even when you do a Gold show half these tools never join in so I stopped doing them. Streamate needs to start buying traffic again and stop putting all their money towards Gold shows and their tv channel.

European girls do really well on MFC. I say rock if out there. American guy love love love the super sweet and sexy European ladies. Usually they are typically in the top 100 models on the site.

Camming was alright tonight--I did a public cumshow, which I almost never do, but I made my money... what sucks is some bitch named VenomKiss sent me a message right after telling me she'd recorded my show, and sending me a helpful link where I could go watch it! Isn't that nice. Ha. Ha.

I'm getting so fucking discouraged... I haven't made a paycheck over $100 in almost a month, and we have a lot more debts right now because, when the paychecks were good, the husband and I bought a few nice things on credit. Now we're struggling again. I hate this so much, and it's really hard every time I log in to keep a smile on my face because I'm just prepping for another day of fucking NOTHING. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I haven't changed my hustle at all, and it worked fine before. This just really sucks, and I'm terrified that I won't be able to make enough to keep us afloat.

*breath* Try c4s.elm.mgf. Sometimes camgirls go through rough spots. when i kept thinking negative...I did not do well.
Head up rose :) I know its tough. Ive been there.....every successful person reachs rough patches... you have to fail to grow even more :)
YOU CAAAAN DOOOO THIS. try different times if you can. I know some ppl have a schedule, get a back up site as well. I nevvvveeeer rely on just one site anymore.

I got msg "connection lost" on SM five times last night(not in encoder log but on streaming page)! I don't know wtf is wrong, is my internet connection dropping off for a second or two or is it a SM glitch...I got disconnected in the middle of GS, and than later one guy bought a hour block session but I got disconnected a min and a half after so I ended up with just 2 min payment! I feel so sad and discouraged right now, I'm afraid to log on again! :(

I also have c4s, but it's not really paying out the big bucks, you know?
I've tried and tried and tried at MFC, but it just fucking... I can't, with that.

I know it sucks the big fat one because I am in the same boat as you are right now when it comes to being in debt but with the way camming waxes and wanes you need a whole bunch of little eggs in your basket that you are actively maintaining. $25 here and $25 can go a long way when the end of the month comes.
Plus with the business decisions Streamate has been making lately I'd been looking around for something else just in case they end up shooting themselves in the foot.
Feel free to send me a PM and I will help you the best I can with what little I know. :)

This is exactly how I feel. I was on for an hour, in the freakin' bath, with wine and a wet tank top... $35 in that hour. All from one of my regulars. Once he had to leave, the rest of the room dropped to nothing. Definitely hope that was just a warmup for some late-night camming!

Camming sucks right now because I'm not even getting stupid asshats. At least with ridiculous twatwaffles, I can post what they say in "Stupid annoying shit" for giggles. I do a mental happy dance every time some pencil-dick soggy scrotum douchenozzle comes in and makes an ass of himself. These guys who just come in and leave without a word? They're the ones who really get to me... I can't even make fun of them properly, other than "Man, he's such a minuteman that he jizzed just from seeing my face for a second! I bet he left out of shame!" But then even that insult feels empty because there's no one around to hear....

Wow wow wow. Slow morning. I made $1.40 the first hour! Now at $17 at the end of second hour. Not sure if I should slog it out or just admit I'm beat and log out. I can't keep answering inane questions like "Are you wearing panties?" while my legs fall asleep for that much longer.

Argh! Another day of 0 tokens on MFC. :/
PrincessXOXO
08-27-2013, 12:44 PM
ugh!! MFC was not only dead but full of whiny people.
one wanted a 30 minute show for 200 tokens and I tried to explain to them why that would be a huge disadvantage to me/would not be worth the time and effort.
another wanted a private where I smother jam all over myself until it was up for 200 tokens. I tried to explain, again, that 1.) the way it'd make me either have to take a shower or make everything sticky/camming difficult for the rest of the day and the effort for a custom fetish like that just wasn't worth it.
one was trying to get me to watch his cam for free and asked again even after I explained it to him the first time.
I made a total of 0 tokens after being on for 30 minutes and my camscore took a huge plunge. I don't regret turning down those offers, though. for a grand 100 tokens less than what I make for a normal skype show I would of spent 30 minutes catering to someone's every demand and another like...what...5 minutes? covering myself in jelly.
