I made NOTHING today. Nothing. And I was on and off for four hours. MFC is DEAD slow. Only 800 models on and no customers... wtf? I always see at least 1100-1700 at this time. Usually when there's not many models, there's more customers in my room... but nope. Nobody. I was floating around other model rooms and there's girls doing cum shows and stuff and no tips, and when they do, it's like 10 tokens. So sad ):< wtf is with it today!

HSVAKR if you think that's bad it's only going to potentially get worse. Technically the first month or two is easier on MFC it's after that it gets harder and it's after that point it's make or break depending on how well you can build up good spending regulars.
On a seperate note my "camming sucks" post is going to be about me quitting MFC, I officially quit. I have had enough of no tippers (been there 6 months) was great for 3 months and has fully died this month. No idea why. But on a positive note onto better cam sites

Yeah I agree. When I get over 3000 tokens, I'm happy about it really. When I have shitty days, I sometimes logg of with 300 tokens :banghead:
I once logged off after an hour with 30tokens lol My worst record to date

Last night on mfc I made 3191 tokens in six hours! It was so fucking slow! I almost quit twice and took two half hour breaks. For a new camgirl (only been camming for a month) is this at least decent? Please no negative comments on how it's really really shitty, I'm working on it! I need encouragement! I also believe it's the end of the month and that's why last night was DEAD.
What did you do before you became a camgirl? Were you a dancer or a pso? Anyways I've said this before sometimes we forget how much money we really are making in this industry. I know I do. I complain about slow times and then I think back to waiting tables and needing a pedicure once a week because I was on my feet all day. Or IT support and going through Tylenol like skittles. And not make anything close to what I do now. So yea I would say that's a pretty good haul for a bad night. Just save the money you make on your "money" nights so the shitty ones don't bother you as much.

^^ Wrong thread, bb! I checked this thread specifically because you posted, and you're usually over in the "camming rocks" thread. I thought it must *really* be bad if you're posting in "camming sucks", lol.

Just when I thought today couldn't get any slower.... I made $18 the last hour on SM. Been busier on my 3 other sites today than I have on SM. Something is not right with that!!!

Today was a waste of time and make up. I didn't go to the gym in order to work more hours and I made close to nothing. I am gonna have to wake up early tomorrow to work 8+ hours to make it up for today. In 3 years of camming this one has been my worst week. I am not even angry, I am sad because I don't wanna get in pessimistic mood but seems like every single site is getting slower by the day.

SM is glitchy as fuck tonight. Guys keep getting kicked out of the room left and right. Made $74 in 3 hours... And my placement was fine???? Oh and some people gave me gold, but when I looked at my earnings it said they had given me less gold than the chat room had told me. I emailed support...but is this normal. I have never seen that on SM.
Also, some asshole stayed 57 seconds to see my feet and rated me a fucking 3! I had to email support about that too. I hope they remove, bc i have all 5 stars from literally everyone else, so I know I don't totally suck.
Sigh ... It's been one of those nights :(

well, made $50 for 2 hours, something is something, more tomorrow!
Thats the mindset I'm trying to have too
yeah audrey, when things sucks just try to stay positive... 25$ per hour is half of what i do normally but it's a lot anyway! and while i was typing i had 0$ for an hour i had two privates (from the sam guy bc he was kicked out all the time) and some gold, and just when i was about to leave i got an exclusive where i did nothing more that typing (he was a sub) he left early idk but he left me 5 stars... so...
my placement was fine too so idk :/ SM should fix all the glitches there and stop worrying about the fucking new layout. Everytime i complain about something they tell me everything is ok and nobody else complained it about it. SURE.

People have been popping in and out of my room too…seems like they get kicked and then try to come back, then get kicked again =/
This week has been quite sucky for me…I guess it just happens for whatever reason here and there. I have had other awesome weeks in the past. It just gets frustrating when it's like this. One of the things keeping me in good spirits is that I opened my first C4S studio four days ago and I have sold ten clips so far. I am very excited about that…wish I had done it sooner.
When it's super dead I log off and record a clip then upload it so I feel like I accomplished something lol.
Hope everyone's day picks up…=D

It's a scary day when I'm making more money on IML than I am on SM. Hopefully it will get better soon (especially since I'm now signed up on another site that I can try when it's slow)

MFC has been so dead the past few nights. $30 tonight, $30 last night. working 2-3 hours. i was hoping to get on 2 hours earlier tonight but my laptop gave me blue screen of death and so i spent those 2 hours doing driver updates and restarting a billion times. hopefully this weekend will be better. i need it to be.

I wasn't going to post in here, but reading through how yesterday suked for everyone, here goes...
4 hours on SM yesterday morning, and not 1 prvt.? Insane
I had tons of traffic. I tried lowering my rates,,,, yet 0
the worst part was when regs would come in to my chat and say he was just there to say hi, and couldn't buy a show! Pricks!!
I just figured it was the first of the month and rent was due for guys.
I finally just did a bunch of $1 gold shows to at least make something. Then, a few regs came into save the day. Barely
I didn't even get on last night, because I think there was a major Bball playoff game.
RaeRae
05-02-2014, 03:55 AM
There are also hockey playoffs going on as well as the basketball ones, which I'm sure isn't helping things
My favorite is when guys come in and are starting to have a conversation with you and get kicked. WTF!!! You know they were liking you and POOF gone. And yes this week I have seen a few guys get tossed and come back only to get tossed again. So clearly they were liking me.
So to any guys that read our thread please let us know what's going on. Send a sm mail, tell us and by all means complain to SM. We don't count for making them $$, but maybe if the customer who is always right complains they might do something.
And on a totally paranoid schizophrenic note: Could the powers that be with Operation Choke Point be jamming the signals? Just think about it. Nobody could prove it. And if it's true that they want to get rid of undesirable industries....

So how you guys doing with this new SM Layout (money wise).. I can't tell if it's my injured shoulder, the end of the month (rent is due blues) or the new layout! but I am sucking hardcore this week..LOL ..It's friday and I still haven't made enough to pay the bills yet..irk! ..I usually do that on tuesday or wednesday.

FUCK THIS FUCKING SHIT (excuse my French). MFC chat software keeps crashing on me and kicking me off. I can't broadcast on the site OR split cam elsewhere because my computer is too slow. I'm thinking of just saying fuck it and buying a new damn computer. It's not worth it. I'm making nothing anymore since I started having issues with the software (and how MFC is dead period isn't helping). I just want to throw things.
So maybe get new computer, split cam on MFC and some private only site, and uh... yeah. Hopefully that'll be the solution to life.

I didn't work Mon. Tues and Wed I did moderately well. Yesterday I did awful.
I hope its better tonight.

I generally try to log on to MFC when there are less than 1100 girls online because that's when I seem to do better, but I really need some money right now, and there are over 1400 girls online...and my room is fucking DEAD. Ugh.

You know that when there are slow weeks like this the site has to be taking a hit as well as us. They have to see that something isn't right when they actually look at the numbers of money coming in. Right??? Right???!

For me, camming sucks right now because it is far to easy to just not do it. I need a virtual pimp who can reach outside my computer screen and be like "bitch, I don't care if it's snowin', you gon' be out there hoin'!" I think this would be helpful :)

Camathon tonight...Finished bleaching my roots, showering, getting my hair and makeup done and my fucking computer first won't turn on. Now it's in safe mode doing a system restore and isn't looking good. I JUST sold my crap i3 last week because I got this i7 ... If this computer doesn't work after this I'm screwed ... I am chilling watching tv trying to calm down hoping this thing boots up. :(

That's funny jadedesire…I agree with you there are days when I can totally use a virtual pimp. lol When I finally do go online and start making money I regret not going on sooner….

I was late logging in today because I am lazy (I need a virtual pimp, too!), and it is soooo dead, I've been on for onver 30 minutes and 21 tokens. BRUTAL. I want to cam for a total of 10 hours today, but that is going to be hard at this rate. Don't want my camscore to tank too much! I'm under 1,000 for the first time :(

I am feeling sick for the past 2 days, got online for 30 minutes but really felt like leaving the entire time I was online, and was happy everytime a regular left the freechat without buying a show bec I am afraid the show would suck since I dont feel well. :(
Just going to clean up my cammingroom and pray to the camgoddes I will have my mojo and energy/health back tomorrow

I once logged off after an hour with 30tokens lol My worst record to date
Now I just had do check out my worst day. April 9th = 10 tokens! Haha so, so bad. But I really think I gave up after like 60-90 min. Whole april was complete shit. I only want payments once in a month (every 1st) and my latest payment was 305 $ (!!) Lol, I feel so ashamed! But I have to blame myself a bit though... I started to get really annoyed with freeloaders and non-tipping regulars nagging and nagging, which made me give up after an hour almost every day. I just felt irritated and really pissed of last month... Oh well, my first day of may was actually good, so I hope it will stay like that.
Officially my worst week $-per-hour-wise. Damn it, SM.

05-03-2014, 06:33 PM
Ok so I didn't cam since the month started I just haven't been feeling well. Just lethargic and sleepy. So I log into MFC and it was just horrible. Some guy even tried to get into an argument and be all pissy because his 10 tokens didn't give him anything. He kept trying to argue and I finally banned him. I logged out and again a 20 token there and a 25 here. I was thinking wow I can't even make $100. So I left again after several hours only making $51. Yeah not that fun..... Even my highest tipper seemed like he wasn't really tipping like he was so I assumed lean month... or so I thought... The rest goes over to the Camming Rocks Thread...

I dont like how there is no secure placement now.. it just bebops around.. so when i checked my placement this week. i got anxiety thinking i was doing something wrong. but as i sit here and watch the site. i realize.. hey its not me... its the way they have it formatted now. >.< so ya.. over it.. will adapt.. not happy about how effing slow it is.. and ugh

I've been making about a $25/hour average this week. That's less than half of my usual. What. the. fuck? I have bills :(
EDIT: I ended my night with $33/hour average on what is usually one of my best nights. Looks like I'm going to be camming at least 12 hours tomorrow to make up for this awful week.

05-04-2014, 03:19 AM
So the last three nights on MFC have sucked! Tonight I was on, still sucking. Logged off after two hours and 500 tokens to take a break and sulk. Went back on, employed extreme patience, left with over 4300 tk! So ladies, there is hope if you just manage not to lose your fucking mind lol.
