I sold two shows last night through im, I do agree though, a lot of them are time wasters. I don't sit in im longer than 3 minutes unless we're discussing prices
How many chat requests do you tend to get? I get maybe 2 tops, even though i have it on literally all day and night while i go about my day
yesterday I had like 5, and was on all freaking day. Blogged and posted offers, still made some money. In my short experience im is being used to discuss prices/content without the guy having to send paid messages, which is why I time it.
I guess it's because i don't use free chat, and when i do, i ignore the guys and do other stuff, and when i chat to guys on my msn/ skype, they are already regulars. So i suppose i am missing the whole "hustling" element of MGF IM. I can't figure out if there is some secret key to getting them to talk about buying something from me. I just don't have the patience for it and when i've tried they just go quiet grr. I swear the guys on there actually believe we do this for fun and not for cash
After the hi/how are you's I ask if there's anything that I can interest them in, and that pretty much how I decide which way to go.
I use free chat on MGF as a reward. They have to earn it first, but to me giving away a little free chat shows that you're interested in them as a person (and if they're generous, you ARE, lol)
Just yesterday, a gentleman who had made a small contribution to me sent a paid msg asking if I'd like to chat (I leave my chat turned off, and if they can't spend a fucking dollar to ask me, they have no business chatting with me). I sent him a request and I chatted with him for about 20 min while I watched TV, because I wanted to "thank him for being so thoughtful and tell him how much I'd enjoyed our messages." No mention of money whatsoever from me.
And then I had to go....
I had a $50 contribution from him about a minute later.
Free chat can be extremely useful if you work it right.
I've had several guys send me tons of messages and never even ask about IM and then there are those that won't even bother to say hello before that chat. Most do ask about custom content or camming but there are some guys who are just morons. I swear I've had 2 people not even remember talking to me and ask me the same questions they did a few days ago. It's like they have a script.
in my experience they try to chat cause they want a show... I always get a show when they try to IM me
When I was on MGF, I didn't do many IMs. One guy, he kept requesting me, so I accepted. I'm straightforward about it though - no playing games.
guy: hi
me: hi, how are you? are you interested in a cam show, pictures, or videos?
guy: cam show
me: how long would you like?
guy: half an hour
me: what would u like?
guy: masturbation
me: okay
so I request video or whatever, put my usual price (I charge $2 per minute) and he declined it. I was like ... wtf? It says my price on my profile (at the VERY TOP since I wanted to do more camshows than other stuff) and yeah ... I was like, okay?
Another time, a guy wanted a custom photo set. So I did it. Dumb me didn't get the money (or even part of it) up front. I uploaded it, let him know it was up (only took me a day or day and a half) ... messaged him like three or four times (a few days in between). He never replied ... and I knew he'd been online since then. Ugh.
MGF ... I don't like it ... yeah :p
I agree...I respect women who can hustle on that site. In order to be successful on that site, I feel like you need to offer a "girlfriend experience". To me it is exhausting. I'm more of an in and out girl. I feel like I offer an excellent show---but I am not into the before and after "cuddling" that the guys on MGF are looking for. But for the girls that rock on that site-I have nothing but respect for you! ;D
I'ts really slowing down for me on there :(( and i feel like there's no way to promote yourself on that site... the don't read the blogs or offers I think so they have to stumble upon you :(
Reaching out doesn't work. I message like 100 guys a day and get 0 replies. I made almost $200 there in my first week but no one has spoken to me in days, except a couple of IM freeloaders looking for goodness knows what (not to buy anything that's for sure!). I am starting to think MGF promotes the girls they favour and sideline the rest, and/ or only girls with a current following can do well on there.
I think I fall somewhere in the middle. I enjoy giving my great guys a lil extra TLC, but those guys know who they are...aside from being fun to spend time with, they treat me and my job with respect, don't ask for freebies or discounts, and don't attempt to monopolize my time or use me as free therapy.
GFE experience camming is a lil too 'murky' for me. I adore my regs but I'm pretty clinical when it comes to deciding who gets my attention. It's a service, same way that my show is, and if a guy doesn't appreciate every aspect of me I'm more than happy to move on and bestow my genuine sexuality, warmth and friendship upon those who do. I don't have alot of patience with guys who try to reverse that equation.
threadjack over, but yeah, MGF guys are a special breed, props to all of y'all who bank there:)
hmm.. i tried messaging guys but i don't love doing it... the thing is that once you're not new anymore unless they look for you they can't find you. Only if you're one of the featured .. it's like the chicken and the egg lol. i think because of my time zone it suck too cause i get cam requests when i'm about to go to bed.. nobody's bought any of my content there, only shows, tiny contributions and customs :(
As an example - I've had MGF on all day since 9am this morning. It's now 2.49am the next morning here. I haven't had a single message or chat request, not one. That's in over *scratches head* 17 hours. I mean, come ON lol wtf is wrong with me? haha
When I worked at MGF, I would always leave the chat off. I'm too impatient for it. I wish they'd charge for the chat.
Yeah I rarely chat for free. Screw that! lol. Does anyone know how you become a featured girl?
I notice that everyone I have chatted with has never sent me a dollar. They just beg for three free minutes over and over and use dumb emoticons. Hm.
I'm not doing great on this site, but apparently I look dumb and gullible enough that sometimes guys give me money for no reason, and it's something I can do in another window while on MFC or IMlive while staying in my room there.
If I don't suddenly get banned forever for not understanding the rules, I'll probably save up my fund there for Holiday gifts.
yes, i feel like most of the guys on that site always want the most they can get from u for the cheapest. i can do GFE camming but alot of those guys (that i have experienced) always try to get the most out of me for as little as they can get away with. they always want a really long custom where u r doing lots of sexual things in the vid and then they wine and argue with u when u give them ur rightful fair price. they act way too entitled and like they are doing u a favor and u should be greatfull no matter what. i started to feel raped so i haven't been on there in a while. still trying to decide whether to give it another shot or not.
