Let me ask you this....why are you so caught up in how I decided to work?

She wasn't "working for free." No one really knows how much money they're gonna make when they get on cam. That's one of the scary things about this job. It's a little different from working a "regular job" where you clock in/out everyday and know approximately how much your paycheck will be.Quote:

Oh yes, soo right Fox!
If i share i made little or no money some will comment on it making it look like I am a bad performer with no talent & skills or whatever they think of (even if not posting exactly what is in their minds).
If i say i did great money some will maybe feel not good thinking THEY might not be a great performer (i always think of other people too when i post how i did on cam).
If i talk about earnings i will never use numbers, i say "i did good, decent, bad & nothing". I wish others would do the same, i wish...
I read in "Camming rocks" thread the crazy amounts some make & also like to show off in there (i believe they inflate the numbers to be honest), it will be nice if people wont post the big numbers actually but well, cant stop them to do so sad lol.
This is just my personal opinion but I actually like when people post big numbers. It is true, sometimes I get frustrated by them and it is sometimes a blow to my self-esteem but it is nice to know that kind of money is actually possible.
The thing about life is that there will always be a camgirl who earns more than I do and there will always be camgirl who earns less. By knowing the upper and lower limit it helps me to set realistic goals to strive for.
This forum is becoming notorious for posters to take one question and take it WAY way out of context and run with it. Forget I even asked. Didn't intend to offend anyone.
I understand you can have slow days but I was under the impression she was continuing to cam making no money. That's all.
Double post!
Man, you are fitting in nicely. Keep it up!

whoops wrong thread nvm!
Here is some friendly advice, sunshine. Instead of going with your first 'impression' of a situation which is more then likely completely inaccurate since you are only getting a snapshot of information that is contained in a single post......you will always find that it is much more wise to ask for clarification before drawing any large conclusions.
But even if the situation actually was that I found myself continuing to cam and making no money, I am at a loss to see how your comment on my situation could be construed as helpful in any way.
If you've got advice on how to improve my situation then I am more then open to hear it. But if you just want to be smug and judge my current money situation then feel free to take all the time you need in that self-rightousness that you are currently using to boost your own self-esteem.
You'll have to excuse me though, I have to get back to doing the best I can at my very challenging and commission-based job.
I think I love you. ;)
(I'm lame because I couldn't find a good meme to post and gave up!)

Making a habit of throwing in the towel too soon (instead of sticking it out and doing that 2 or 3 hour shift) could result in a shitty paycheck. It's really an unpredictable site, but amazing things actually do happen sometimes when you decide to stick it out just a little longer.Quote:

I tried MFC a few times and it felt like the guys there are not really into me. I am 39 but can pass for 28-30 curvy built & fetish friendly. I lost patience after 1-2 hrs shift when i did nothing or very little. One small tip from a guy & one few mins pvt that's all i made. I cant even figure out the token system, i am too used to real $ lol. From the few tries & errors i have camscore there like 460 or so. I wish to know how low a camscore can get & the consequence of a low CS, means i'll get nobody in my room at all maybe? Is there a chance still that some guys will still tip me if they like me even my room is empty or almost no traffic? I wish to make MFC work for me but that site is soo much different than what i am used to & i really have no patience to stay on cam for hrs doing nothing, i rather work Sm where i know i can get privates, tho SM can be dead too at times. I know every site is hard when new on it but really, can i still make something even a very low CS? Ty xxx
I'm gonna stop logging onto MFC on the last day of the pay period. It's just way too many public shows to compete with. And seeing some of my friends list members online but not in my room irritates me during moments when I could really use some conversation and tips.
I've worked my camscore up from being that low before. It takes a lot of time and patience though.
The thing about MFC is that it takes a lot of energy and a lot of that energy is completely wasted until you build up regulars.
The reason I keep quitting is because of the amount of energy it takes.
The reason I keep going back is because MFC is the only site I've ever managed to make $500 in an hour on!
It was only once that it happened, but it was enough to hook me. :)
56 TOKENS in an hour.
I guess that is some kind of progress.
I just want to say thank you to all the time spent on putting together the fabulous advice given on these pages. I have spent the better part of the week reading and getting as much information as I can before I start. Now that I am ready and, I think I am at the finishing stages of getting set up on MFC, but I have a question regarding the registration.
I am trying to upload my id to the site, I chose my files clicked update and...waited, now when I am at the "Start Here" page it says under the "Upload Documents" that the status is NO and to go here. When I go there, the place where I am to upload says that there is a jpg uploaded there. Will it stay that way until it is approved and then the status will change to YES? Or am I in an upload document limbo?
One other really quick question, if I plan on being on more than once per day - early morning and then in the evening, is there anyway to show that on my schedule?
Thx laides!

This is how I felt trying to make my MFC countdown today.
All I keep hearing is...you are so awesome and funny! You are not like all the other girls on here.
Of course this translates to.......I can't get MFC's hustle down and I am not making a dime.
Lately my #1 reg on MFC has been having issues on MFC where he can barely make out what I'm saying, and sometimes he can only make out like every other word. It's really frustrating because I'm a talkative person, so this means I have to pretty much type out everything I say now...otherwise he won't know wtf I'm talking about and can't really participate in the conversation. He said he has the same issue in other rooms too, and other members can hear me fine. He reboots, and sometimes he says it's a little bit better...other times not.
When others can hear me fine and only one person is having issues, I'm staying put. But if it's more than one person with the same issue, I'll reboot and try again.
Made 100 TOKENS today. Hurray for progress. :/
^ ugh. Glad to know I'm not the only one who has those days.
I don't know if I'm gonna continue doing flashes for 20 tokens, or if I'll go back to charging 50 tokens for them like I used to. All I know is I wanna start the new pay period (Feb. 1) with my mind made up about what I want my prices to be for my room topics.
maybe meet in the middle and do 25 or 30 and see how it goes 20 is a little to cheap for ur status i think thats like cheap/n00b - desperate to raise her cam score prices but if ur not sure about 50 then meet in the middle and do 25 or 30 or just go back to 50
Wow I finally got through this whole thread LOL. I got back on MFC earlier this week, but didn't have much luck. I got 1 person tipping and 1 private, and that was it. I thought it was because I was charging too much for flashes, (75 tokens) so I lowered it to 50. But that didn't seem to make any difference. Guys either still asked for free flashes... or they'd ask how much for a flash... then leave when I told them 50 tokens.
It seemed like the guys I got in my room.... expected me to do shit free cause I'm new. They'd tell me to show more so guys would tip me. I had one guy who wanted me to "prove" to him I "belonged" there. Then wanted me to put a shoe on my head LOL. When I refuse to do things for free, then they make some kind of comment about how I'm not going to earn anything LOL.
But this thread has been very helpful. I'm going to try some of the things suggested, and see if that helps.
