Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
Okay...so I got incredibly busy with school and holiday travels around December and barely logged on MFC at all. It's finally come back to bite me in the ass. Earlier this week I was doing just fine, normal earnings, whatever. Middle of the week hits and BLAM, camscore drops 2000 points.
I've never been one to really rely on tips for the bulk of my earnings, I focused on getting privates and never had a problem. Suddenly with the low camscore I'll have to be on for 6 hours to even get a single private. I hate this!!! I have to work four times as long to even earn a fraction of what I was making before. It hasn't even been a week but I'm so frustrated...I thought I was doing better yesterday, but then today I was on for 3 hours and made 5 fucking dollars. AND it's a paradox, if I log out, no money...if I stay logged in while it's slow, camscore gets hurt even more. I've tried hitting up my regulars for privates but they're not endless money fountains, unfortunately.
I don't know what to do. I've tried to "diversify" before and start working on other sites, but it never really works out. I don't want to work on Stream Mate because I don't like their practices...I've tried to get Adultwork going several times but they never approve my ID and ignore my emails. LiveJasmine seems like a waste of time. And the other sites don't have a lot of traffic or have some other thing (WAY too long to wait before getting paid, etc.) Plus, to be completely honest, I got lazy because I've been on MFC for a year and always made enough to support myself with not much effort.
Am I freaking out for nothing? Should I just wait it out and hope this dry spell ends soon? Or should I just get serious about looking into other sites?
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
Its been a dry spell since the second week on January on MFC, Streamate, and Adultwork to be honest.
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
REALLY? That's a huge relief. I mean, it sucks for all of us. But it means I wasn't suddenly transformed into a hideous monster incapable of ever getting privates again. Thanks!
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
I've also noticed that my earnings are increasing, yet my camscore is the same or slightly dropping. I wouldn't worry too much about the camscore part.
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
Sorry to hear that.I used to do great on MFC but lately it seems like pulling to get them to tip.So now im done with MFC .I'm doing streamate which is so much better for me.Im not making a 100/hour there but its enough to pay my bills and have a little extra left over.Good luck with everything ,hopefully you'll find a good back up site.Keep your head up.Things will get better.

I think that some models aren't giving it enough time before logging off, and some models are spending way too long on there. Being on cam for 4 hours straight with only 100 tokens ($5) earned would obviously be horrible. I have made it a rule to be on MFC for at least 2 hours straight. Also, not everyone happens to be on Twitter at that moment you tweet "I'm on cam!," so it may take a little bit of time for your regulars to even notice that you're on.
But if I've been on for 2 hours straight and haven't even been tipped enough to get topless (500 tokens), I'm leaving, no matter how many guys post "Aw, don't leave...I just got here!" LMAO. They can pout as much as they want, but it took hard work for me to get a 400something cam score up into the 1300s.
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
I made 160 tokens in 5 hours today.....I totally fucked my camscore :(
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
Tonight's MFC session was AWFUL. I'm glad that Wednesday is one of my off nights from there. I could use a break from all the free chat entertaining. There was a guy with over 1,000 tokens who just lurked my public chat for several minutes. I can't stand that shit.
Splitcamming on ImLive and AW later today. I'm actually gonna go to sleep now...my eyes are burning.
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
I dont know how everyone does so good on Streamate, this is the 3rd time I try it out and I find it so tedious slow & boring. I love MFC the only thing I hate is of course is the camscore. Yes MFC can be slow and hard sometimes but when u do get tipped or get privates it adds up so much faster then Stream its crazy. I added it to use when I dont have the perky energy to do MFC but I can def say for me Streamate sucks. I dont make a ton on MFC but its still more for less work then Stream, at this point I feel like I will have to stay with MFC thru thick & thin because I hate every other site, except Niteflirt of course but its dead now unfortunately.lol.

I love MFC way more than SM too.
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
Well, I usually do very well on SM and it has been AWFUL for me lately. ABSOLUTELY awful!!! I have tried: lowering my rates (slightly- because I had actually just raised them), changing my cam angle, going on at different times of the day/night. NOTHING has worked. Just a bunch of losers logging on and off very quickly. And I can usually pull $500-$1000 a week without doing full time. So WTF, Streamate!? Why are you so shitty lately?!
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
With things being so bad on the cam sites, now is a good time to start splitcamming (those of us who haven't been doing it before). Now, as far as a site like MFC, I wouldn't recommend splitcamming. That's a site where you need to focus on your room, and going 'away' too much could harm the cam score that you work so hard to improve.
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
65 tokens in an 1.5 hours tonight......yikes!
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
Maybe everyone is just broke because of the holidays? I mean it has been a month but some people over splurge and are broke until tax season....idk that is what I'm hoping for at least.

No, they are not broke. Are you watching how they spend on the top/popular models?
they're not broke when these ladies log on.... all of a sudden everyone has money to spend...

I just figured that they were regulars tipping them so high.....I wouldn't expect the same dudes that visit the top models to come see me in my room...but then I'm in a different bracket being a plus sized girl so idk....

I agree with Fridays. If everyone is broke, then NO ONE on MFC would be able to complete any of their room topic goals. Also, guys need to stop bragging about other things they spend their money on, if they're gonna hang out in our rooms all night and not tip. Some of these guys (especially the ones who 'hide' their tokens) are spending money on other models. And I know for a fact that some of them will only spend their tokens on 1) models who do public cum shows and 2) spying on models' private shows (because they don't wanna pay the normal price for a private show). I've actually had a troll admit to me that he doesn't tip me because I "don't do shows" (which, technically, doesn't make any sense). That comment pissed me off, because he can sit there and watch me in my room, but refused to tip because I refuse to fuck myself in public? Yeah, I told him to fuck off.....
And it doesn't matter what time of year it is...some of these men will make excuses for why they can't tip, yet beg you "Can you show us that ass, ma?" all in the same breath. LOL. It could be any given month out of the year...you'll find freeloaders making excuses like "I just got laid off from my job" (then why are you bragging about that new Blu-Ray player you got?) or "I gotta have money for my daughters" (then why are you bragging about that new expensive phone you're gonna buy tomorrow?)
Beware of guys who constantly make excuses year round for why they "can't" tip, after you tell them "Please tip for your request, hun." Tax season (my uncle is getting $9,000 back)...Valentine's Day with their lady (y'all know MFC now has a token package as low as TEN tokens, right?)...their daughter's birthday (oh please...do you even SEE your kids or pay child support? LOL. Gimmie a break...), etc. Does it ever end??? Seriously, this is the adult industry, and these guys think we should "hook them up" with free this and that, because they claim that "times are hard?" LMAO. I WISH I could get away with that shit in the real world where I have to pay full price for luxuries.
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
OMG yeah I heard that, about the low token packages, yes it can get so annoying when they come up with so many excuses hence why I'm a bitch when it comes to public shows, which if I do is just dance around naked,I never do hardcore. What I mean by bitch is if I see most of the tips coming from one guy cuz most of them are waiting for him, I convince him to go private cuz its not fair that all these guys see all for free. As bad as MFC can be I dont know why but I do so much worse on Stream, maybe because I get bored quickly or get sick of the stupid repetitive questions about where I am from, I dont know but at this point sometimes I feel like I am meant to give MFC my undivided attention whether my camscore drops or not because it's the only site I have patience for. yes sometimes u sit there awhile with not many tokens but for me atleast when they finally some in its so much quicker than Stream in comparison to hours worked. On another note I really want to join the Verified Cam Girls section but do I really need 50 thank you's? by the time I get that I prob wont be a cam girl anymore :'(
Re: Dry spell on MFC...UGH!!!!
Yay, I earned over 1,000 tokens in 2 hours! :) Lately I've been having a hard time even getting to my goal for topless (500 for topless, another 500 for panty off), so tonight was a relief. I'm logged into AW now for about 2 1/2 hours.
Happy Friday!
