If the advice is that camming is unpredictable, with its ups and downs, then.. I can't help but think.. Why put so much time into it?
Sooooo Much time wasted sitting in front of the computer, it sickens me! The one thing in life that can never be gotten back is time.
'The Future is Leaving!"
I'm probably much older than most on here, and I can tell You, that's NOT any way to fully live.
New Year- new plans. At least for me. I hate giving up so much for so little, in terms of becoming a hermit, and never seeing the light of day.
I can relate! I really don't have much of a choice with my health issues though. Camming and adult work from home is the only thing I know of that can allow me to make enough to pay my bills when I never know if I will be able to work or not. I have to have this flexibile schedule.
I'm realizing I enjoy making videos much more than free chat so I'm transitioning into taking an entire day off one day a week to shoot and edit and upload my vids, and adding in some indy sites to keep me out of free chat. I think if I can make at least half my income with clips and other passive sources of income I won't mind working a few hours in free chat here and there. Sitting there all day is not how I want to spend my time any more!

^ I am exactly same with you. I had to leave my job due to medical reasons and I am scrambling on everything. So, I will do c4s regularly soon and to find all sites I can work on. I still have this little worrying on back of my head that I may not make my ends meet from camming, but that is nature to worry. I have to stay and believe in the positives or I would not be able to make anything. Being actively on this forum makes me feel a bit better because there are so many other resources to make money that girls on here came up with! :)

Had a great first night on Saturday night, then come Sunday afternoon I got my damn period, and I'm not comfortable yet getting on cam while its here (at least not the first couple days)! I was looking forward to kicking ass this week and making some good money! Damn, looks like I will just have to work extra hard the rest of the week!

I am so annoyed right now with this guest who enter in my room.
I wonder why i talked to him though? :-o i didn't noticed he was just a guest i think.
Moron: do you have time for private or you leaving soon?
Moron: i mean how long you will be online?
Me: I just got online. I will be here for 5 more hours.
Me: and all online models have time for prvt. If they don't have time for that then they will not be online.
Moron: Great. I thought you will leave soon.
Moron:cause my boss is still in office, so if u can wait 10 minutes then we go in prvt.
Me: Okay, i will wait
*noticed that he is just a guest*
Moron: i forgot to tell you, i have left only 20 cc
Moron: so im sorry cause we cant be longer then 20
Me: Login!
Moron: next week ill buy more cc and then we can be longer then 15 mins
Moron: do you have cellphone?
Me: Yeah i have but it is inside your ass. Go Fuck yourself, okay?
*Clicking the ban button*
Moron: You are so stupid...
*ban*
Waaaaaa I am so annoyed because he got to respond before i clicked ban (T__T).

Ok ladies, I experienced my first scalper last night on MFC. I had some skinny bitch (which was awesome being a bbw and still very new to the whole game) in my room trying to steal (and a few successful) my guys. I had a regular very nicely inform me of this. I have a couple of questions...
How are models able to keep themselves hidden from the guest/user list in my room? I could not see her anywhere but many ppl told me she was there. Is there a way to keep "hidden" models out of my room? If you can't at least show yourself, I don't want you seeing me then. I have no problem with other models coming in my room, that's how I figured shit out myself. But fuck really?
Please say I can call her out on here, I won't do it until I have the ok, but man this bitch pissed me off last night. I think I handled it ok, I called her out in my room when I saw her, and told the guys that those aren't the kinda guys I want in my room who would go to a skinny bitch offering herself for obviously way cheaper than I was. The guys in my room were really awesome and helpful about it, and I super appreciate the one regular letting me know or I would have never.
I'm still fuming (it was a slow night on MFC last night) and intend to report her to MFC.

I had some skinny bitch (which was awesome being a bbw and still very new to the whole game) in my room trying to steal (and a few successful) my guys.
Sorry that you've experienced this. I've had desperate models in my room advertising themselves. A model even advertised FREE Skype shows for members. SMH. Some model told my room that I'm "fugly," and that they should visit her room instead. I have models blocked from my room, but all that means is that they can't visit me under their model accounts. They're still able to visit under their premium accounts or in guest/basic mode (I mute guests/basics), which is fine as long as they're not using my room to advertise themselves...or to PM my members with "Come to my room, bb!" Yes, there are some trifling-ass models who actually do that shit. I think those "women" should be reported.
When a model is advertising herself to your members like that (or freeloader members are PMing your regulars to beg for links to your videos), your regulars should take a screen shot of it and send it to you and to MFC. And then you need to 60-day ban those models/members who've been PMing your regulars. I'm not sure if MFC would even do anything, but informing them of the situation wouldn't hurt. If a model wants more tippers, she needs to step her game up and earn those tippers legitimately...not hide out in other rooms to steal members. That's a bitch-ass move, and I think it'd be funny as hell if the members blasted those models on the MFC news feed and on Twitter...lol.

Thank you BrownFox!! I think one of the guys did report her. What gets me the most, is I didn't realize that models could essentially hide themselves from the other models when visiting their rooms, I think its pretty obvious what your intent is at that point.
While it pissed me off, I actually took it as a compliment. I wasn't making anything last night (I sure hope that today is payday for most guys, $5 night compared to my first night...) so hopefully she took my freeloaders/beggers. The guys who stuck around were awesome though, and that made up for the whole shit show that was.

Sorry to hear about the rating, but don't be angry with yourself. It's not your fault. After all, your child was sleeping. I wish your customer could've been a little more understanding (especially if you apologized for the inconvenience).

My friend knows that I only have one day a week off. We were supposed to go to dinner 3 weeks ago and she wanted to reschedule because of financial issues. I told her I would cover her but she didn't want that. We rescheduled for last week. Last week it was the same thing so she rescheduled for today. Today, I get ready, everything is set in stone and we had plans to do dinner, and the bar, and I told her I could pay for her as she chose Subway for dinner when the plan last week was supposed to be an upscale Chinese restaurant. I choose something she can afford as I had coupons. Sorry but the last time I ate inside of a Subway was when I was a child. The plan was to chat and go somewhere nice.
This bitch blamed the weather for her cancellation 10 min before we were supposed to meet up. >< It wasn't even snowing anymore and that bad outside. She wanted to reschedule for tomorrow. Did she forget Saturday is my ONLY day off? I could've did personal shit today but cleared my schedule for her, 3 times in a row, only to be disappointed again. I'm so teed off I think I need a break from fucking with her. So that means every time she texts to go out, it's already predetermined that I'm going to be busy that day.
Honestly, I think she has an issue with one or most of three things. 1. She's embarrassed to say that she cannot afford to go out. This isn't new. 8/10 she's broke and I have no problem covering a friend and I've covered her several times before. 2. Her eczema is acting up again which I understand but why make plans then cancel them? Just be honest. 3. I intimidate her. I'm not trying to be shallow but I tend to get attention when I'm out and she doesn't and I think she's a bit jealous of me and doesn't want the "competition". I never do anything to make my girlfriends feel comfortable so I don't know what to do?
She's obsessed with this local band that her family member is in. He's attached but is always complimenting me, telling me how beautiful and good I look. The other band members all kiss my hand when they see me and I tend to attract a lot of looks from guys. I'm no groupe so it's sweet, but I'm not on it like that. However, I cannot help the way I look. I also feel like once I lose weight she's going to ask me to hang out frequently. It's unfair and annoying as fuck.
I had a very good friend that I met online in a moms chat room years ago. At that time we were both overweight and got along great. We both decided to lose weight together . I lost 104 pounds and she didn't lose anything. Losing that weight lifted my confidence and I started to buy new clothes and got a boob job. I noticed she wasn't answering my calls, never answered my e-mails and started to ignore me. It hurt and I finally had enough and cut ties with her. It took me awhile to get over it. Deep down I knew it all boiled down to my weight loss and all the attention I received, I just didn't want to admit she was like that. I know it's not the same as what you just posted, but your comment reminded me of it. Just recently I got a e-mail from her, and me being a person that still cares, and doesn't like to hurt others....I answered it. We talked for a good two months and just about three weeks ago she was out drinking with a friend and I guess the booze loosened her up and she opened up about it. She asked me what happened between us four years ago and I told her I didn't know..I just felt like you abandoned me. She told me the real reason she treated me like that and it was because I lost all that weight and she was jealous. She said sorry and we are okay. I don't judge her for those feelings and I understand. Jealously is the most evil and hurtful feeling out there. I don't know if we will ever get back to where we were...but I'm fine with her and I think it took balls to admit what happened.

I have made friends with one model on MFC. Sometimes I float around model rooms looking for ideas and seeing how they talk to their customers. If a girl does something I like, I will rate and admire her and compliment her in her profile. I made a few friends that way.
But yeah, other girls can be conniving bitches. It's those girls who give our entire gender the "catty" label. Sigh.

Long-time lurker, first time poster making my debut in this thread - yeehaw! January sucks regardless money-wise. My relationship imploded this week leaving me totally stressed, drained and unable to fake being happy or enthusiastic about anything, let alone being on cam. Traffic is abysmal & my cheapskate regulars seem particularly clueless and entitled this week which is making it hard for me to not be openly contemptuous towards them. I know my attitude sucks but shit man, it is BRUTAL out there right now. WOMP.

It seems like I've been venting about FB a lot on here lately.
The topic of women with kids came up, and this guy on my FB friends list was running off at the mouth about how NO good mother would go out to a bar to have a drink, and NO good mother would go out dancing at a club because "why would a mother want to do that?" SMH. He says that any mother who'd do that "isn't taking care of their kid." The topic of strippers came up when I mentioned that I went out to a club once to see the pole dancing, and he said that strippers are cool yet he "judges them too because they're one step above hookers." WTF?! Yeah, he actually used the term 'judge'. He went on about how he's raised a well-behaved, intelligent daughter, and that he never leaves her with a sitter. And one of his FB statuses said that he proudly passes his controversial views onto her. I don't even know this dude. The only reason I had accepted his friend request was that I saw we have a mutual friend. But I just posted my last response to this douche and removed him from my friends list. There is no reasoning with people like that. And I noticed that none of his rants were about men...only about mothers.

Camming sucks because I had to work 12 hours STRAIGHT yesterday, in order to make my weekly/monthly goals. Only took a quick lunch and dinner break.
I really though that after camming for 3 years everyday, and building my brand, that I wouldn't have to be on cam this long!
So glad I did, though, because my main site is now down, and Nobody can access it.

Block the countries where those models come from. Once I did that I stopped having that problem.
Countries where no money comes from:
Romania
Colombia
Russian Federation
Most spending members are from 1. US 2. UK and then a few others like Norway, Sweden, Canada etc. They can't get in your room if they can't even watch your cam. Maybe the can pouch from the lounge but typically a cam pimp is doing that.

A girl I know who was a stripper at several different clubs said "Don't be a cam girl, you're better than that." Keep in mind she has danced both nude and bikini. Da fuck? It's like the pot calling the kettle black.
And today I tried something new on cam... put nice lingerie on, got a chair, started dancing and teasing and being bubbly... a half hour goes by and like no one is in the friggin room! WHAT THE HELL? Like I swear to god, I could have three dildos in my vagina and I couldn't get people in. It's Saturday! Where are they!
