I'm on MFC but my first week was a total bust so I decided to change my hustle and go all in this time, just waiting for my camming essentials in the mail. :) I have a c4s store and I also plan on applying for Chaturbate (rejected my picture ID like 5x lol but I am gonna email them soon). ELM, AW, MGF, Arousr for side income. :)

MFC is rough to start on, is there a reason you don't want to use SM? Also, don't forget CMD and LCMS.

I know it is, especially for beginners. But I just really want to cam on there! :-[ All my extensive research has only been about MFC so I was anxious to start. I'm also near broke at the moment so I was kind of desperate to start immediately. I'm just learning that it was a bad move, starting on MFC I mean, unless you're super duper hot like what they said, you would probably do well as a new model. When I get my supplies next week, I'm gonna have a polished hustle and fix my camscore, I'm in the 560. :( Although, I plan to get approved on CB first so I can build up regulars there and then maybe take them to MFC, that way I can up my camscore. :)
On SM... it's just that I haven't done a full research on it yet. From first impression, it seems... it's private-based right? It intimidates me a little because I have to entertain only one person, I think it would be kind of awkward? Plus, I don't do hardcore stuffs, never done dirty talk--but I am gonna study this and practice as I know it's important in this field LOL. So yeah I don't think I can please one man very well in private. Correct me if I'm wrong though! I'm not closing my doors on other cam sites, it's just that I have limited knowledge on them for now. :)
And oh yes, CMD and LCMS! I will try those as well!

Is there a handy guide on stuff to make your shows INTERESTING? As in, not just having a cute face, nice laugh, cute smile, big boobs, etc? I tried googleing but so far all I found is a short article on a ventriloquist webcam model that gives the doll a BJ and does weird stuff with it.
I am putting together a schedule of shows that I want to do, and I don't know if they will work.
1 day of the week my show will be just regular chat: flirt, play innocent, fetishes, etc.
2nd day of the week my show will be costume-based: use role-play, stories, voices, etc to support my character
3rd day of the week my show will be something that I like doing: cooking, cleaning, etc.

Do you know how to get into your network settings? On your router, there should be an IP address such as 192.168.1.1 type this into the browser bar and press enter on your keyboard. You will need to enter your network password (probably on your router too). You will get a page that lets you configure your network. Go to the tab or section with the channel settings, and change your channel. Sometimes when you live in a complex of either condos or apartments and almost all of your neighbors have the same ISP, the technician will set up everyone on a default channel. This causes too much traffic on the network, and causes each user to experience slower speeds. The less people on a channel at the same time means better speed for you.
I have a 3mbps package, but I get really good speed. Once every few months my speed lags reeeeeeeeeally bad and it is usually during peak hours like 2-4 am. So when that happens, I usually just switch the channel and it immediately fixes the problem. Don't go paying for something that will not get you anywhere (you don't need a better package). Internet companies take advantage of the uneducated consumer when it comes to tech stuff and it is very sad.

I know this is a silly thing to be worried about but I am, I am a curvy/bbw model depending on who you're asking lol, anyways I want to lose about 50-60lbs for personal reasons so I really wouldn't follow into the bbw category any more. I am worried about gaining a following as a bbw and then losing all my regulars when I lose weight. Has anyone started off a little bit heavier and then lost weight if so how did it affect you on cam? I guess I am just scared I will have to start all over in a way.

I go through weight fluctuations as a curvy/thick girl...and it never effects my income. If I'm feeling good about myself, that shows and that's what makes me money. Which is usually when I see that I've lost weight...I feel sexier. So do what makes you feel good about yourself! My regulars love me no matter my weight...they like me for me and my "talents" lol.

basically u want to be told how to have an original personality and a magic formula to get viewer's and a fanbase. if it was that easy everybody would be doing it. it takes a lot of time and effort to find what works for you because what works for one person wont work for the next person .
the site ur working on differs too to find out what kind of hustle you should have. some can do the same hustle on ppm sites and token some need a different hustle for each kind of site are u working on token sites MFC/CB etc or are u on pay per minute sites like SM?

Guys who are paying want you to do what THEY want, when they want it. If you are only doing token-based sites this might be easier, but if you plan to do private-based sites this will be virtually impossible. And even on token sites, you are going to struggle to find a consistent customer base because guys won't know what to expect when they log on, and if they don't like what they see on one of your different days, they likely won't come back.

Alright so I've been debating on whether or not to ask this question, as I'm nowhere near new to camming. But I was using mgf for awhile and was doing great until I was terminated for now reason. As I'm sure most of you probably know, mgf is not live, and more of a one on one sort of deal.
So I moved over to use my old Mfc account and I was so goddamn overwhelmed. The pm and the chat and the private and goals and just all around being live scared me off, especially when I learned about the cam score thing.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is, pertaining to mfc, what basic things should I establish and plan out for my foundation? I know I need to gain a following, I know all about fun atmosphere and persona and such, and I'm not expecting instant success or anything, just what exactly do I do? I've tried watching other girls and just attempted to figure this all out for myself and what I find is so all over the place and varied that I have nothing to start from. I'm less looking for technical or navigation help, and more so for content and strategy?
Sorry if this is confusing, or if this sort of question and answer already exists, and if it does PLEASE point me to it.
Tl;dr : MGF to MFC is super different and I feel completely untrained plshalp

Do you ladies know how many GB you use a month for internet. I am moving next week and my new internet provider allows 500gb of high speed and if you go over it slows way down. I am a little worried seeing that I am constantly on my phone and also watch Netflix like crazy. Is 500 enough and I just need to calm down or should i look for a different provider. I have never been limited before so this is all new to me

Contact your old provider and ask for a usage summary. They should be able to show you month-to-month.

I am not on any site right now. I am going to sign up on mfc. I am trying to plan my shows ahead of time so that I don't log on and look like a retard. What is typical for a first show?

Fucking your cunt? Striptease? Oil show?
What you should do is create a custy account, and start watching shows. Do research. Figure out what best works out for you. Take notes.

Okay. I was trying not to do something that everyone else is doing to avoid being basic. Oil shows seem to be popular and I like it, so I'll start with that :)

Trust me, its hard to be original in porn. Only a few have mastered that.
Hint, use coconut oil. It's better for you skin. If you skin is prone to breakouts, jump in the shower. (Which is another show right there)

I feel like I'm doing something wrong because the majority of my shows are 2-3 minutes long. They just log off.
Don't panic, you're not doing it wrong. For my whole first month most of my shows (this was on SM, depending on the site ymmv) were under 5 minutes. You're just learning how to tease, how to slow it down, how to string them along. It gets easier, I promise. And don't forget, those minutes add up! I still get several 3-4 minute shows every day, just take your time and make sure you aren't wearing yourself out or giving them too much too fast and let the money build.

There is no typical first show. There is a thread around here somewhere that people chimed in and told their story; I looked for it but lost it. Someone here once said (forgive me I cannot remember who), "Cam shows are like a blind date, you never know what you are going to get"
Absolute truth....one min some jerk is asking you to do ungawdly things and the next a nice guy takes you exclusive to teach you about trading stock options, then to another guy asking you to put multiple things in every orifice then to the guy who just wants you to watch him get dressed and tell him how sexy he is to the guy who just want to watch you have an orgasm until he cums, another wants you to make fun of him and tell him to bend over.... I could go on for at least another hour with this, but I hope you get the point being you just never know so be ready for anything. Anything you do not understand, don't feel dumb, ask them about it. My custys have taught me everything I know and it captures their interest when they get to talk about it with someone as they have probably been keeping it inside and only sharing it with you.

The kind of coconut oil that I buy is in solid form and you have to microwave it to melt it. Is there a liquid form? Never seen it.
Magical_Hoohah
03-03-2015, 09:14 AM
You can buy fractionated coconut oil, which is liquid, but you might have to order it online. It's not as shiny or thick as baby oil, but it's the ONLY oil that will wash out of fabric and not leave stains, which is why I love it - I can rub it in, wipe down with a washcloth, and put my clothes back on without fear of ruining them. It's generally what is used by massage therapists to avoid ruining their sheets.
Sometimes untoasted sesame oil will wash out as well, but it can be hard to find, and in my opinion, has an incredibly foul odor (if you want to try it, check the Indian food store, and make SURE it's not toasted sesame seed oil).
It's true that fractionated coconut oil is not virgin or raw, and is fairly refined. It's made up of the medium chain triglycerides (oil molecules) found in coconut oil, meaning they've filtered out the large, saturated oil molecules, such as those containing lauric acid and stearic acid, which is what causes coconut oil to be solid. That being said, it isn't really more processed than castile soap, for example, which most people consider to be pretty "natural".
Also, it's not great to microwave your coconut oil because it heats unevenly and can take forever to melt and/or burn you. It's way better to put your oil in a small bowl, then microwave a slightly larger bowl of water. Stick the small bowl in the bowl of warm water, and give it a couple minutes to melt. Or just use body heat, which doesn't take long at all.

What do you think some reasons are to suck even when you are at first page of SM? It's supposed to be one of the most popular webcam sites isn't it? I don't like to copy other girls and I mostly can't because they either have big boobs/sexy body, English is mother tongue or are in a studio and I'm neither of these. But I really think that I'm missing something big that it's so slow for me on the first page of SM.

just because ur on the first page does not mean u make money. sometimes we all just have one of them days and its slow for everyone somedays u just feel off someday u can look supercute and feeling it and u make nothing. i dont make much in earnings compared to 99% of the others on the first page but when i go on when i cam i figured out my good time and during that time im on the first page but i think my computer specs feed quality encoder settings and time spent online help put me there. when i go on at night my normal spot is middle of page two but when i go when i do i start off around the middle of page 1 then as the morning goes on my traffic gets slower and slower as more girls log on and bump me down back to the middle of page two where i find myself by the time i call it a day and log off .
if ur constantly having issues u need to look at urself and hustle . attire hair styles time u go on how u work ur room try and experiment and see if u can tweek anything maybe even try new sites is sm the only site u work it? split cam very soft is a very good $40 investment

I have a crazy question I'm not sure where else to ask... I'm located in Canada, I was uninformed and signed up through IM to streamate, soooo trying to move some of my business over to Skype, I currently have SkyPrivate which is great, haven't done a show yet... but I get more of the $$ so that seems good. My question is if someone wants to pay another way what would you "seasoned to the industry ladies" suggest. Amazon.com no good as they aren't transferable to .ca. I won't use PP because I use that for another side biz I don't want to be banned from that for sure. I see Payoneer accepts email payments now which could work.... I checked into GiftRocket, but it seems sketchy. Why can't anything be easy for us Canadian girls? I have a lot of traffic that comes from Fetlife, as we as a couple are a little freaky!!! :) I need to get something figured out!!! I'm loosing money.

well bluntly i suggest not doing it at all because technically its theift because sky private is the one whos getting u ur clients and they will close ur account if they find out ur doing that and its downright not cool. if u want to take amazon payments pimp urslef out on twitter and do it solo sky private is the one who got u the guys u talk to to get that money they need their cut . theyre a business they have overhead its the way of the world toots. amazon is not going to pay ur bills amazon does have a program in certain areas called amazon fresh that will deliver fresh food to u altho i hear from the camgirl who told me about it its a bit on the pricey side and its not available everywhere but at least it may be a way to use ur amazon cards a bit more productively. im not knocking amazon at all i love amazon just as much as u if not more maybe lol just trying to help you out. check out the sky private thread ashley is pretty helpful in there - she went out of her way to get me verified when the fuckheads at support wouldn't accept my paperwork and pushed it thru and approved it for me so theyre good ppl there they deserve their piece of the pie

I`d say go for it.Even if you will use the C920 in a lower resolution the quality will be so much better.

Streaming with encoder does boost your placement. But if you are having a terrible time with it, use the browser. It could be your computer.

So I'm starting Skyprivate and they just gave me my link to make a Payoneer account. Is it fishy that I'm required to enter my SS #? I've always been taught NEVER to give that out so I'm a bit weary but I need a Payoneer account for business.

Yes, Payoneer is safe. They are a legit company and they are basically giving you the ability to use their service to transfer money...they need to have precautions set that you are who you say you are.

I've tried to find an answer but don't know what terms to search:
What are the pros and cons of using the same/similar names on multiple sites? I like the idea of creating a brand.
I also like the name I used to sign up for NiteFlirt, a site I probably won't be using.
Will using the same name be a problem with certain sites?

As far as I know you can use the same name everywhere. It makes sense to build a brand. The only reason to have different names would be perhaps if there was a site where you eg. only offered domination (ie had a very different persona). Personally, I use the same name all over.

Alternatively I'm guessing she has contact information on her website.
