how to liven up a dead room?
I'm new to this site, and have been a cam model for myfreecams for 5 months now. after missing a whole month of cam time, my room has become so DEAD!! i dont see my regulars anymore, it sucks, most of the time my goals never get met anymore and the guys just stare at me, not even a hello. im getting bored of the cam life. any of you know any tricks to make things better... I'm an ebony model if it makes a difference (it seems mfc can be a little racist at time) :-/

Re: how to liven up a dead room?
well i've tried a few and i only want to use the ones that allow me to block my home town for privacy reasons of course. so far mfc has been the best one i could find, but its getting way too slow for me.
Re: how to liven up a dead room?
Dead rooms blow! But one thing that I have noticed that has helped me (I'm not on MFC, but I am an ebony camgirl) when my room was dead was to dance or do something that looked cool through the cam. I'm on SM and the guys can hover over your avatar before they enter...they are probably not going to enter to your room if they see you rocking the blank stare. I think MFC also have a little camera icon where they can get a snapshot of what you're doing. Again, do something fun looking to make that snapshot interesting, so that they can come into your room.
As far as keeping them in your room...I would say that for MFC you need to make your room super fun. Do you play games? Advertise your twitter (if you have one)? Give out a video or pic set for the highest tip of the day? Maybe those things could help. :)
Good luck...and always hoping that the Cam God/dess sprinkles some money your way!
Re: how to liven up a dead room?
play music, sing, dance, tell a joke, call people out. try to pretend like you are in a good mood even if you aren't. try different times. I know certain times are super dead and other times I bank. You will eventually get regulars again once you are online regularly at a time that works best for you. If none of that works then I agree switch sites. Most other cam sites let you block people. It sucks about the racism thing. I've seen that in other rooms on mfc too when I was browsing. I couldn't believe it.
Re: how to liven up a dead room?
yeah the racist comments always put a damper on my mood. the worst thing is getting a bunch of premiums with 0 tokens, WTF! all of the rich guys are in other rooms. i always have my oil near buy and i play music all the time and even do the highest tipper game, but those things dont help much if my members are dead broke. ugh!
Re: how to liven up a dead room?
Act crazy like batshit crazy once your room is full go back to your original plans.
Re: how to liven up a dead room?
definately what the other girls mentioned, when my rooms dead i tend to do things to entertain myself
like ... humping a giant stuffed bear i own while dancing to upbeat music http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ns/whistle.gif
suddenly my room gets more full of ppl getting a kick out of it lmao =p doing stuff out of the 'ordinary' can help with numbers :)

Re: how to liven up a dead room?
Why do you feel like you need to keep a talk show, reality show in your room? whomever want to spend on you will, whomever doesn't want to, never will, end of story.

Because this isn't the case!! Yes, many guys will make a judgement based on looks alone, and take you pvt for that reason, but a LOT of guys (especially on MFC, where it is a tipping culture rather than pvt based) pay for personality and entertainment.
The basis of sales is the hustle - making guys WANT to spend on us, turning a meh or a maybe into a YES! And we do that with our appearance, our profiles, our marketing, and the energy that we bring to our rooms....just sitting blankly and thinking to yourself "if they wanna spend, they will" is the same approach as a dancer in a club just wandering custy to custy asking "Wanna dance?". You may make some money, but you will not do as well as the dancer who is giving it her all....
Re: how to liven up a dead room?
Well let me tell you something, it might work for some, but very few. And the rest will just get burned out from trying to hard and not getting much return from it.
For an example: i work a site with two accounts at the same time, providing same feed, same everything, one of the accounts is full of members, and 2500 guest at all times, the other one at the same time has maybe 500 guest in it and maybe 1 member in it once in a while. It's the SAME SHOW. One of the accounts makes 20 times more than the other one. WHY? Because it depends who sees you and how the account is promoted.
I,m just trying to warn the poster from a burnout from something that it might be not her fault.
Re: how to liven up a dead room?
You are right! I think the guys on SM are far to spoiled by free chat shows ( whoever trained the guys on SM to expect this I wanna strangle).. I don't mean masturbating in free chat. I mean the extreme entertainment.. some girls are so much fun in free chat why would you wanna go to pvt?? I visit girl's rooms all the time.. and some i just wanna sit there for hours.. I don't log in.. but still... NO WONDER most of you cannot work more than a few hours.... I mostly use my words to be entertaining. I don't have to dance around and act like an acrobat.. I just talk and crack jokes..etc etc.. and what not.. I have found the more entertaining I have been in free chat the less I want to go to pvt.. To tired to play... But I am alot older too.. I don't have that kinda energy.. I try... I exercise and take herbs and vitamins and cleanse and eat healthy .. get my 8 hours of sleep.. all that.. but still not at much energy as a younger girl.

Re: how to liven up a dead room?
Yeah, I actually have a premium account on MFC for research purposes (mostly to shadow other models or to get new ideas for my shows) and you can hover over their usernames and see a recent thumbnail of their room.
Though I don't go nude on free chat, I do try to engage the guys by giving a free handbra now and then or an ass flash (with the underwear still on) and I always say:
"Alright gentlemen! Whoever wants to see an assflash/handbra say aye. I need a majority of votes to do it :D"
"Aye"
"i"
"eye"
"ay"
(Even the most quiet guys will join in LOL)
Then I do a little sexy dance with a handbra/assflash for about a minute or so and then my thumbnail changes, and *bloop*! At least 15 new people in there. Problemo solved.
Re: how to liven up a dead room?
Yup. I sit and chat in free chat. If my numbers go down, I stand up and dance a bit. Tease them. Numbers go up. I sit down and chat. Rinse. Repeat.

This.
I'll say something like "I'm sad because nobody's talking to me." *pouts*
Or "I guess you guys don't think I'm sexy because you're all ignoring me." *pouts*
The second one usually gets guys jumping in "you're so sexy!!" "BB, you're gorgeous."
Lol.
I'm on SM.

I disagree with this. When I started camming, I was quit/shy, just watched TV until someone took me private.
Now my attitude has changed completely ... I chat with the guys, laugh with them ... I look like I'm having fun in free chat, because I am having fun. I'm rarely in free chat for more than a few minutes. As soon as my attitude changed, my $$ changed.
