MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
Hey lovely ladies.
So I gave MFC a shot back in April, with... ummmm.... very mediocre results. Basically, I prob logged in only 3 times.....
I would like to give MFC a try again, because I realize it has crazy potential, and I just didnt give it a fair chance the first time.
I understand that MFC is a place where you need to build up a following.... I'm not expecting to be doing $100 and hour right out of the gate. But at the same time, I DO enjoy seeing results, you know?
So I guess my question is.... how long should I give it, before throwing in the towel again? ;-) How do I strategize this? I guess it will be my MFC "debut" again, since I doubt anyone will remember me from my few nights in April. What's the best way to 'burst on the scene'?
Do I do one hour a day, 7 days a week? 4 hours at a stretch, but only 2 nights a week? What?
How long did it take you to build up your fan base?
I am successful everywhere else, but I am sooooo lost when it comes to mfc. I want to tame this beast. Helpppppp!!!

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
i am having the same problem- my issue (and you probably have it too like everyone else) is knowing how long to stay logged in without my score taking a beating. when i went back to mfc after being gone for a few months i deleted my old profile and made a new account- resetting my score and giving myself the "new model" title again.. hth, and sry i didn't really answer your question lol

If your camscore is taking a beating, you're doing something wrong....
Your camscore should always be going up...I know it doesn't work that way all the time....
NUMBER ONE piece of advice...is your room FUN??? I mean REALLY fucking laughy happy roller-coaster circus carnival sybian ride YAH-Fuckin-HOOOOO! fun? And obviously so the MINUTE they enter the door???
If it truly is, you will get a room full of premiums, and then if you tease the shit out of them, you will bank....MFC is kinda that easy....at least for the elementary levels of "bankage"....

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
Oh crapppp...... :-( I'm naturally introverted, so creating a 'carnival atmosphere' feels like MAJOR work to me...... ugh.
I was hoping I could make the "broody, sexy, sultry vixen" vibe work for me..... LOL!
I guess Ill have to get drunk first.... sigh.
Bamb, should I make my MFC screenname match my SM screenname, website, etc? For 'brand continuity'? I'm guessing YES..... right? God.... I feel like such a kindergartener.... not a nice feeling.....

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
*****Oh I forgot to mention what kind of hours I did. I only got online about 2-3 times a week (if not less) roughly for a couple of hours since I was still dancing. ****
THIS line gives me SOOOO much hope. I am already doing way over $100/hr on other sites, so I do NOT wanna sit there on some new place for 5 bucks an hour. My patience is LOW LOW LOW.. But if you say it can be done with a small commitment of a few hrs a week..... wow. That's actually really really uplifting. THANK YOU!!!!

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
Your welcome :)
Yea I actually felt like that worked to my benefit. When your on 40 hours a week of course your regulars can't spend money on you every day. But when your only on a couple of times it's easier for them to spend on you.

You are EXACTLY the kind of person I needed some advice from. THANK YOU! Keep it comin'! LOL!

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
I was wondering the same thing. I started there today and had about 50 people in my room. We chatted and had fun but I only got a tip for 10 tokens...
Thanks for the helpful info. Keep it coming! :)

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
I would check out the top mfc performers yourself and watch what they do and find what suits you best. There is no 1 thing that will work for everyone but you will find yours if you work hard enough for it.
I find its the ones you dont expect to ever tip (the quiet ones) that through in a large tip from time to time and give you that big smile when you least expect it :)

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
DO SOMETHING in free chat. Don't just lounge on your bed staring at the screen. Play a game, or something interesting. My best days in free chat are when I'm in the kitchen (go figure), but naughty hangman has been pretty lucrative. If you're doing something interesting, guys will stick around more.
*Talk* too. I block PMs except from friends, so people have to talk to me in the chat, which let's everyone see what a great personality I have! That gets me more regulars. I always try to have some form of offline sale going on as well - a Thong Thursday picture, a raffle, a gallery password.
Be nice! I've only ever banned ONE PERSON, and that's because it was my old studio boss being a little cunt bitch and pissing off everyone in my room. And the prems tipped me to ban her. If people are rude, or hating on me, I genuinely want to know if it's because of something I've done/said, or if they're just assholes. Often that's all it takes to get them to say hang on a sec... this girl actually cares what I think. Hater becomes a Regular, and tips to apologize.

YES... watching the top girls is a strategy I often employ.... thx for reminding me it's a winner.
And I hear ya about your second point too!!! This is why I always shake my head when I see girls kicking 'lurkers' just for sitting there quietly!!! ;-) They can be AMAZING tippers!!! Or they take you for an hour long pvt out of the blue... etc.
THANKS!

Ohhhhhh.... sigh. I don't know how good I will be at coming up with dumb games to play. :-( That's not really my 'style'... you know? I will have to brainstorm on this and figure out what works with my personality.
I hear ya 100% with BE NICE!!! I am generally NOT a fan of the 'ban' button, so this won't be a problem. THANKS!!

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
^ I always go on with an idea of what I'm going to do, and an idea of what I'll do if my first plan tanks. Around xmas time, I made 3D paper snowflakes. lol It's something to do while you talk, the movement keeps guys watching hahaha

I started MFC in May of 2010. I had never very little camming experience since at the time dancing was my main source of income. I had gotten my boobs done through MFI though and I had been on mygirlfund for a year so I did have a couple of homemade videos.
When I started MFC I got a 25 minute prvt my first or second day that really helped my cam score. I never got much as far as tips go until my 2nd-3rd week. In the beginning you need to really take advantage of the new model by your name. For me the key to raising my cam score was prvts. Within those first two weeks I was able to get my camscore to around 4000 so I had a huge foot in the door. I had a few small regulars but not really any of those huge tippers. From the beginning I was making roughly $60 an hour.
My cam score hovered in the 4000 region for months. It probably wasn't until October that my camscore started to increase. It started to increase from a few really good nights & I had a money slave who gave me a 5000 token tip when I had only been online for 20-30 minutes so that really helped!
By November my camscore was in the 6000 area and I did a raffle and doubled the raffle tickets for offline entries so I was getting some pretty big offline tips which really helped bring my camscore to the high 7000 area.
December I was able to put more time into camming since I was on winter break from school and having a high camscore really helps you make more money. I was always making $100 an hour then.
From there my camscore has just about increased after every time I'm online. When I'm on I don't waste time. I'm there to work and if it's slow I just get offline and come back later. To this day I have a couple of regulars who will throw me a big tip here and there but I don't have a room full of regulars who all talk to each other because quite frankly I'm never in public enough. When I am in public it can get very boring since I don't have those room chatters which means I just try and tease them to get a prvt going.
Oh I forgot to mention what kind of hours I did. I only got online about 2-3 times a week (if not less) roughly for a couple of hours since I was still dancing. Lately I've been working a lot more but I always make sure I'm making a certain amount per hour (100+) so my camscore goes up, not down. If I make less than that an hour it goes down.
I love this...and I cannot fault you...you are right and you did it....you walk the walk...
The advice about fun comes from a perspective of "If what you are doing doesn't work...DON'T say MFC sucks and give up...Try Something DIFFERENT...."
So many girls just sit there and expect the privates to come, or just sit there and worse, expect TIPS....
MFC is a work based place that if the invesment is made can be a freakin' GOLDMINE....

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
Update: At first I wasn't sure but I really like it! I got a humiliation guy take me to private, got some tips, some fans and some ratings. I'm really gonna put in an effort to get the creative juices flowing so I'll have fun stuff to do online.
-
Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
I think the root of my problem is that I am just more comfortable and successful when I am interacting with people on a one-on-one basis. Not really fun at parties, not really an attention-seeker in real life... etc. (Wow... I sound so interesting! LOL!)
I guess I will have to just fake it till I make it, while at the same time "modifying" the usual "shit mfc girls do on cam" formula to suit my particular personality.
Thanks for all the suggestions and support, darlings!!!

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
I'm going back onto MFC this month also :)
I was going to make a new account, but since they seem to have already RESET MY CAMSCORE (eugh) so it's back at 1000 anyway- I guess since i've been gone so long- I may as well just stick with the old account and work my way back up.
I guess I should get the "she's back" banner though, ... maybe not as good as the "new" banner though?
I've also always been worried about the amount of hrs per week that MFC requires as I do think regularity on there really helps... so at least coming online at similar times can bring back the same regs? Maybe that's not so important as I had thought though, and a couple of times a week can really be enough.

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
I don't believe that you'll make decent money in myfreecams b/c the vast majority of guys are just freeloaders. They feel that you should be ecstatic for the measley 20-100 tokens that they throw at you. Also, I wouldn't be so stoked about the camsscores b/c they don't measure your level of financial success; just your popularity among the beggars. I find that the girls who do the sleaziest acts in free chats and are oftentimes desperate for ratings always have the highest camscores while the decent, self-respecting girls who have high standards always have the lowest. I would rather have a low camscore and have a few decent custys than to have a high one and would have degraded myself for all to see for next to nothing. I've only been on there twice b/c I don't have the patience for that and frankly I find it a waste of time and other sites in general when I could have been out looking for a job or possibly going back to school b/c this will not sustain you when you're 40-50 yrs old nor would I would want that on my resume. I'm much too good for that and I deserve better than dealing with horny men who don't respect me anyways.

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
camscore counts for the position on the page, so the bigger si the camscore, the betetr is your position, if you dont appear on first lines on the page where all the guys are, indeed, u can make close to 0, that's why the camscore is important.
-
Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
While i disagree with people not being able to make alot on mfc ( i pay the wages so i know they can first hand) I do agree that camscores mean alot less than most think. Its just another way for a company to get a hold on you and doesnt reflect your income.
I personally have no time for camscores.
Edit: I know performers who make consistently over $1000 per day on mfc and dont appear in the top 5-6 lines of mfc.
$1000 may not be much to the top performers but its great days wage for normal performers.

Definitely this is a common misconception and actually, you'd be surprised how many top hosts on some sites are older women. My earnings have been increasing along with my age. *wink* You do not have to be a young host to make money.
I'm not against an education, but these days there are a lot of highly educated people who are either out of work or working for very low wages.
You shouldn't bother with it though if you are not enjoying it or don't mind the low wages and jumping through corporate hoops. I love camming myself.

Earn enough before your 50 so you can retire on a beach in the bahama's ;)
I think as you get older you change your "hustle" from the schoolgirl to the teacher role etc.

Re: MyFreeCams: How long to start making decent $?
Jenny, because of your position, I believe you might be one of the first people who can actually figure out if there's a relationship between tokens (income) and camscore. Camscore is likely computed based over some amount of hours or days worked. You have all the necessary data to see if there is a relationship.
