Any advice is appreciated....
Hey everybody. So i am new to this site but its already been so helpful. Im somewhat new to camming. I used to cam a few months ago for a little while(on SM) but my internet connection sucked there so i stopped. I moved and have now started back up. Im on LJ as of now. i have applied for a few other sites and are waiting for approval.
I got some good traffic the first few nights but its sort of slowed down now. To be honest i need to money and want to try and attract as many people as possible.
Im in a tough spot right now just because my house rent is so expensive...im a student..and i just got a job but it still won't quite cut it.
Im looking for any advice you guy's could give me. What times get best traffic on what sites...best toys to have...best things to say to attract them to priv...etc...anything woud be helpful.
Thanks so much in advance:)

Quick answer, but check the stickies, it'll take a long time but the info is beyond worth it. But you caught me in a really helpful mood so:
1. There is no best time/site. It depends on you, these first few weeks play around with time slots to find what works for you. Same with site. I bank on sm but mfc is pulling teeth for me, and other girls it's the opposite.
2.Stick with it, it may be discouraging when you're starting out but it takes time to build a following. I've worked 12 hour days so I could pay rent, we've all been there, you're not alone
3. Advertise yourself! Twitter, a blog and spam it, and keep it updated and fun!
4. (Generally) you get what you put into it, if you really put in the effort starting out and work to build a following, it'll pay off later. Slack and your pay will reflect that.
5. Fake it until you make it.

Its difficult to say, different things work for different girls, however most girls here will tell you to stay away from livejasmine. In my opinion streamate is great to start out, but it depends on your hustle, other girls bank on mfc. I dont mean to be a downer, but this is the biggest problem. Girls want to start on these sites and bank, and it isnt going to happen. People think camming is just getting in front of a cam and stripping but its much more, its networking, its advertising, its modeling, most girls dont rely on webcamming soley when they are starting, its somthing that needs alot of work, and it isnt for everyone. My advise is to invest in the best internet and webcam you can, and give it time, if you cant do that, then your going to be fighting an uphill battle.

Same answer every time someone asks this question.....
There is no "best time" that will be the same for every girl. I could tell you my "best times" but that doesn't necessarily mean you would make any more during that time. You have to spend A LOT of time trying it out yourself, trial and error, figure out what works best for you.
It's a common misconception that you can just log on and make the big bucks. If you are brand new (or even kinda new) you are not going to be able to just log on and roll in the big bucks (unless you are very lucky).
My best advice to you is this: pick a site and stick to it. Build up a fan base. Work as many hours as possible. I have personally found, and this might not be true for everyone because that's just how it works in this business, but I have found that jumping from site to site or trying to work multiple sites leads to less earnings. This is because you have to build up fans, build up your presence on a site before you will start to make what you are wanting to make. Once you have established yourself on one site, try to add in another if you have the time.
If you are already on LJ, stay there for a little while. I don't think that you have put in enough hours yet to accurately determine if it's going to work out for you there or not. Many girls don't like LJ, but some do. It's not going to be the same for everyone. Stick it out a decent time before you decide it's not working.
Re: Any advice is appreciated....
seriously - read through the stickies - they are invaluable!!
But the basics from my pov:
Sm is a good site to start on. Its consistent (well, as much as any site is), its well known, you don't have to deal with chargebacks, its really user friendly, and you don't have to deal with the hustle and camscore stuff for MFC.
As for times to work - just be consistent, work the same days/times every week, and this will help you build regs.
Toys - don't use cheap silicone/jelly stuff - or if you have these already and want to keep using them without destroying your lady bits, put a condom on them. Otehrwise, use glass, steel, wood, or high grade 100% stuff. Use a hypo allergenic lube, or coconut oil (organic, extra virgin)
What to say - there are no magic lines. Stay upbeat, flirty, talkative, exciting, and don't talk too much to freeloaders. Keep your one-on-one interaction minimal, esp when talking about specific fetishes.
Just keep plugging away - this takes a lot of time and effort to build up to really banking.

Thanks so much your help everyone!
No im not from ep....im not sure what that even is? lol sorry.
I am currently on Lj, MFC and im doing MGF as well.
MFC i was getting sooooo much traffic right away but it's always guys trying to get free stuff from me because i was new which is pretty annoying.
Im waiting for my new account to get approved on Sm as well.
LJ has been way to slow and they barely give me any percentage so it sucks.
And i need to send paperwork in for naked.com
Besides, LJ, SM, Naked, and MFC
What other sites are out there for camming?
also do any of you have success with mygirlfund if you do it?
