advice needed for camming?
So I'm new here from france and I just have a coupla questions :) this forum is sooo helpful. :) I have been an exotic dancer for 3 years and have been camming for the last couple of weeks and really enjoying it.
My first question is, I really want to give MFC a try I like the look of the website and I like how creative a lot of the girls are. I read the thread about how much newbies could charge there and I was wondering the same thing.
Should I straight up say "no nakedness until 1400 tokens"?
and is it too self assured to go straight on and start doing something like a raffle on my first day? or should I wait a while until i have a following.
Also I was on a girls chatroom yesterday and some guy took her private and all the other guys got really pissed at him and said things like "he obviously doesnt know how things work round here" what does that mean? is there a different etiquette on mfc ?when are you allowed to take go private?
My second question is that I have a macbook atm. I am going to use the bootcamp feature to partition my harddrive until i make enough to buy a pc (dont have much money yet!) I was wondering, when i get my new pc and don't need to partition the mac drive anymore, can i get rid of the partition?
My third and final (sorry ladies i hope i can help you too one day!) is, I am in france, how will MFC pay me? will they send a check or will I have to get an epasseport account (I don't think I can if I'm not in us??)
Merci! thank you for all the help! :D

Hey an other frenchy :p
I'm from France too, welcome to StripperWeb! I can't tell you much about MFC a lot of girls are recommending it for high earnings, I personally don't like and won't try it but it may work great for you so listen to all advices you can get :)
When it comes to how they will pay you, from my experience with cam sites, you are the one to decide between:
a) checks
b) wire transfer
c) epassport
It took me 4 weeks to get my Epassport card, but now I don't have to fear that the check get lost or to pay extra fee to get it shipped faster or with more security, etc.
Basically the epassport card has a VISA logo, so you can withdraw money from ANY ATM in the world, and there is no excuse for cam sites to send your fee late (as they could do with a check).
They do send the money to your epassport account the exact same day of the payment.
Good luck miss ;)

OH Okay thank you! ;D Cool and you are in paris too like me thats great! :D What sites do you work on if you don't mind me asking?
How did you manage to use epasseport? I went on the site to sign up and it told me I had to either have a US account or know someone who had a business account to deposit $35?
Re: advice needed for camming?
lots of camsites offer a sponsored epassporte account - basically meaning that they do all the sign up etc for you. You will then be able to use the epassporte account to get paid by any camiste (not only the original one). Not sure off the top of my head if mfc offers this or not, but others will be able to tell you :) If not, I know imlive and adultwork do.
Re: advice needed for camming?
Somebody here told me to get one of the webcam sites to transfer $5 into my epassporte account, so I emailed Streamate and asked them if they could do it. They sent the $5 and that was enough to get my account "approved" without having to link to a US banking account.
Then I selected Epassporte as my payment option, waited for the first payment to show up, and then used $35 of that to purchase the Visa card. I ordered it a week ago, and I'm only in Canada so hopefully it won't take too long to get here. ;)

Oh okay awesome. But how do you get your epasseporte details without linking it to the us bank account first? Sorry if I'm being stupid!
Thanks everyone. does anyone know about the mfc stuff and the mac hard dive stuff?

Yup I'm in Paris ;) La ville de l'amour :p Living here with my boyfriend.
"What sites do you work on ?"
I do work on ImLive, LiveJasmin, CamWorld and Webcams.com
"How did you manage to use epasseport?"
As Becky said, most cam sites will offer to send you the card if you reach the payout limit. The card usually costs 40 US$ if you decide to buy it on your own directly from Epassporte, as Smurfette mentionned. Personally, when I reached over 100 US$ within the payout limit (15 days) of LiveJasmin, they bought the card for me and shipped it to me within 4 weeks. I didn't have to pay anything.
"I went on the site to sign up and it told me I had to either have a US account or know someone who had a business account to deposit $35?"
If you go through a website that signs up the Epassport card for you, you won't have to worry about 35 US$ fee but yeah you'll have to wait few weeks before being able to do anything with it.

You aren't ;) You don't have to link anything to an US bank, the way you are going to use it is most likely that cam sites send money there and you go to an ATM, withdraw money from Epassport account and deposit the money in your french bank account. This way or international wire transfers from your epassport account to your french bank account. Either way, you never need to link to a US Bank.
Since you are automatically signed up for an Epassport card through one of the cam sites and that these cam sites have your real information, that's how you end up with your real, accurate information (your name and first name) on the card. That's all the data they need, it's a virtual bank account, no crazy amount of papers required. They do know you are real and verified through the cam site that is sending you. I guess that's how it works.
"Does anyone know about the mfc stuff and the mac hard dive stuff?"
Search the forum! You can use the "search" function and type keywords to find what you are looking for. You'll find tons of previous threads on these topics.
Hope I helped ;)
Good luck mon amie!

^^ just realized after reading your post..
(I'm non US nor Canadian as well) i totally thought i could just purchase the Visa electron card off the website paying 35USD, but it seems not??
so is it correct? if i want to sign up with Epassporte (and being non US nor Canadian) i have to at least work with those cam site that they can help me to deposit? /:O
