Another "New to Cam" Thread
So I've been thinking about it for a while so I finally did it. I'm waiting approval on SM and am already approved on LJ. I've done my homework (search function is my best friend!) and already have a billion of my questions answered, so I'll spare you most of the typical newbie questions. I still have a few questions though...
This may be a stupid one but, what is an oil/lotion/wax show? Do you just rub it all over yourselves? Do guys really pay money to see that? Lol!
Second, should I even bother with LJ after the newbie period? I was only on for like 5 minutes today and made 2 bucks, which didn't seem too bad, but is it because I'm new and cheap? I've read quite a few threads warning girls to stay away from LJ, but it didn't seem too bad. Then again I was only on for 5 minutes lol. I'm pretty much just waiting for my SM account to be approved and I'll probably move there.
SM has group shows too right? I noticed on LJ there were multiple guys in pvt with me, but I could only see one guy's cam. I didn't know whether to just cater to the first guy with the cam on or try to make it pretty general or what. How long do you usually take to get naked? I think I got naked WAY too fast, because I was nervous and kind of panicked. What do you girls do to stall them? Also, when taken into pvt should I ask them what they want or should I just do my own thing until they ask?
Was anyone else super nervous when starting? I literally froze up after seeing my first cock. LOL. I didn't know what to say, and was trying not to laugh, and ended up bailing because I was so nervous and started cracking up. I may try to go online again after my son goes to bed. It was definitely exciting but I got so shy!

Men will pay to see anything, even to pick my nose ;)
After the newbie period on LJ I would leave it for a more productive site like SM as you mention.
lol at the c*ck reference ;D
Everyone gets nervous, even after years of camming you may still get those butterflies every now and again.

Lol. I'm really excited to go back on, I just hope I can grow a pair (not literally, but I'm sure some men would pay good money to see that too! haha) and stay on longer. I think I was nervous about my son waking up from his nap too. :/
Re: Another "New to Cam" Thread
LJ is awful in my opinion. I started there first(which was really only a couple of months ago).
1st: after promo period it's way hard to get privates
2nd: if you want your money now LJ is awful. I made the $100 min. at the end of 2nd pay period (15-30) and didn't get it til the 25th of the next month.
It's confusing when multiple people pop in, but the second person who came in knows that you were in private to begin with, so in my opinion you should cater to the first guy.
I get super nervous if I'm not on for a couple of days, and I know i've read other ladies say the same thing.
Re: Another "New to Cam" Thread
Thanks for posting these questions! I'm new, too, and would love to read the answers to these, especially the part about what do you do in private chat. I had someone request a private on my first night and I didn't have a clue what to do, LOL, so I winged it and I think I yanked off my top too fast. I also don't know if the guy was disappointed that I didn't bare all, but I did say "topless privates" in my topic.
Re: Another "New to Cam" Thread
^ I just do whatever is asked really. Oh, you want to stare at my feet for half an hour? Great.
BUT the next guy might not like that as much!! Cater to your viewer.
Re: Another "New to Cam" Thread
But if all I want to show in private is my boobs, what do I do if the guy says "stick that dildo up your ass, bb"?
Which begs the question...is it realistic for me to expect to do topless-only privates?
I haven't been making much on MFC. It's getting really discouraging. I'm starting to think I just can't compete with these girls who will just strip down and stick varies objects up their crotch in public chat. I've had a few guys who come back to my room and I'm starting to have a good rapport with them, but that's all I have, with no tips. :'(
Re: Another "New to Cam" Thread
I don't even get naked on cam, and I've been working on MFC since last August ;)

What do you do then!? Just talk? I wish I had people skills like that, lol.
So last night I was on about an hour and made $27. I know that's not a lot compared to most girls on this site, but I'm pretty happy with it considering I'm so new. Then again LJ is promoting the crap out of me right now so maybe that's not really realistic to make that later.
Anyway, I had another question. I started manycam so I could stream on two sites at once, but it was a mega fail. Then I had like 3 guys that took my into pvt say my cam either froze or my screen went black. I thought it was many cam acting up but it still happened after I uninstalled it. We tried a couple times, but I eventually lost all 3 customers and who knows how many others that just didn't say anything. I was so mad! Is this from my crappy webcam(I'm using the one built in to my mac, I know, I know, terrible!) or my internet connection or what? And can anyone suggest a mac compatible webcam? I read a thread on here somewhere that one girl has a webcam where you can change the settings, like contrast and color etc... I want something like that!
