1. I live with my parents for now, (18 and attending COMMUNITY college) and I want to get paid by checks..but they send it to you in the mail obviously, right? What's their company name? I don't want my dad to see a check in the mail for me, that states it's from "myfreecams.com"
I reallyyy apologize if that's a dumb question, and I feel dumb but I decided to ask anyway, but do they actually use that name when they send in a check?
And two, why do you have to send in pictures? :( Is it to reject the ugly girls? why isn't an ID enough ugh!!..sorry. but I look young for my age -.- I'm 18 but can probably pass as a senior in high school..will they reject me? I'm so paranoid, because my current job is so aggravating, and if I'm a successful cam girl then I could move out maybe, and whatnot. but yeah..
Sorry for all the typing errors, I'm in a rush but I HAD to ask this question. Thanks for ANY input and feel free to yell at me for being such a n00b -.-
Thanks for reading!

They need your picture to verify your ID. You know... to see if you're really that person. Don't worry about the check. It doesn't say My Free Cams on it (I was worried about that too my first time). They aren't going to reject you for looking young. If your ID says you are 18, then you are 18.

When I worked at MFC, I got cheques, and that's what it says. Consider getting direct deposit or something if you're worried about it. :)
Re: Starting myfreecams..
Thank you all so much! :D
Re: Starting myfreecams..
I know streamate has their name on the check, so asking about it isn't stupid! I wanted to know as well, so thanks ladies :D
Re: Starting myfreecams..
I could pass for 16 and I'm 20, although I tell people I'm 19. Yeah I love Direct Deposit, I got my first payment the next day :)
Re: Starting myfreecams..
I have a question about direct deposit... Do they send some form of pay stub? B/c in order to get my own place, I may need a few to show the landlord.

Direct deposit is soooo common these days, I wouldn't think any landlord wouldn't be able to take some sort of proof for it. Just ask him what he accepts. Most likely a bank statement is fine.

Hey Mia!
Being as you're starting up (same as me) I think it's a good idea to check these blogs out; reading these, combined with being active reading camgirl forums, is what made me ensure I wanted to make this my job. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with how it all works and just what to expect. :) ~

Reading those is what really helped me make my decision by finding out what it all entails.
Please don't think that MFC are going to judge you based on your looks from your application. It isn't in any way to give your aesthetics the "okay". It really is just to confirm your age.
Plus, you must be prepared for some slack about your looks for this job to work. Even the top girls on MFC get insults about their looks.
Really know why you want to do this job (for reasons more than money), and it'll be good to you.
Much love & luck. :) Hope this helped a little.
xXx
Re: Starting myfreecams..
Incantatious, thank you for the awesome references! :D
Re: Starting myfreecams..
It seems most of your questions have been answered but let's talk money, honey! That paycheck of yours will say it's from MFCXY, Inc. . Get a PO Box if you're concerned that you're parents will begin asking questions about these random checks coming in the mail. You shouldn't have issues since they do not state "MyFreecams" but you could go that route if you're paranoid in the least. Good luck!
Re: Starting myfreecams..
Thanks, AedanRayne!
It's just my parents are nosy and can be controlling, and they know I have a part time job so they would ask who's sending me money, and why?
I decided to just take the direct deposit route :D So much easier, wish I thought about that earlier XD
Re: Starting myfreecams..
I tried the yahoo thing and there was a GRIP of webcamming girls in there--
didn't seem like there was anyone besides them...
Were you somewhere not obvious because I didn't see a main lobby section?
Re: Starting myfreecams..
Mine, on the envelope say "webmaster checks" or something like that, and the actual check itself says mfc xy inc
Re: Starting myfreecams..
Thanks fallout_grrl, maybe I can just tell my parents I run a blog and I get money from hits or something then, since it has "webmaster" :D
And FiendishGyrator, I'll PM you.
Re: Starting myfreecams..
yeah, you should eventually start learning about affiliates which you can make money doing, so that might be plausible.
Thanks for the PM :)
