Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
So I have read through a mass amount of info on SM and MFC, I have signed up with both via Dailypay and since my SM account was approved first and I have already tried MFC I thought I would give SM a go tonight.
After watching cams and reading I am now wondering if the fact that I don't have toys or outfits is going to make is almost pointless... I am also a bigger girl, not BBW but definitely carry extra fat, I know on MFC that definitely affected the amount of guys who stayed in my room, I made it fun and while I think I have a ways to go I was impressed with my cam personality. I am wondering if it will be the same on SM for me and if I should wait until I have at least one toy to try it.
That leads me to my next question about MFC, I want to plan out my "New Model" status to maximize exposure but im not sure what the best way to do that is, in terms of me being a bigger girl, when I was on before I made a total of $35 during my "New Model" status and I can't help but feel like I could have done better.
I know I will probably get a lot of replies that say read read read but I have read all the tips threads, both the MFC, and SM threads and am running out of keyword to search for.
To reiterate, on SM will I still do okay without toys? And does anyone have any tips on how to do my shows without them.
And MFC, I played games and was very happy and personable, I muted guests and made sure to pay attention to everyone in my room, I don't have pic sets or videos and im wondering if maybe before going 'live' I should make at least one of each and pimp out my profile? Also what are other ways to maximize the new model status so my cam score goes up or at least doesn't go down.
Thanks!

You wont really know how you do till you try. I didn't have toys the first month and a half that I started on streamate and did ok. I didn't make as much as I do now but then again I was also new. I have cammed when on vacation without toys and do well. Just don't tell the guys =p You can still have fun with your finger ;-)
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
Too bad it'd be weird for us to do a 'toy drive' for new girls without toys...I have some rad toys I never use... I know I'm not much help...do you have a wishlist set up? I may be willing to chip in for a cheapish new toy for ya !

Fingers work just fine. I only use toys in exclusive; the guys that go private(group) never have complaints about me only using fingers :) I've seen a few top models on SM who don't use toys at all, so it can definitely be done.
There are also a few sites out there that have freebies if you pay shipping, which can help you build your toy collection if you wish to do so. Such as:
http://www.tootimid.com/you-pick-you...tml?redirect=1 You either pay shipping at this site, or you buy another item for a minimum of $5 and waive the shipping cost.
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
For a site like SM you dont need toys or outfits to do okay. Toys can help but they arent a necessity. You can search online and find pretty cheap ones to start just check the toy safety thread on here before you buy anything because sometimes the really cheap ones can cause health problems if not cared for properly or if they are made of the wrong material.
Outfits are nice to have and can give you a confidence boost but wont necessarily increase your earnings. A lot of guys prefer the girl next door casual look. You can find sexy black lace bra and pantie sets at regular retail stores. Skimpy tank tops and bright color panties look good on cam too. You'll find that a lot of outfits that you think you want you really dont need. Corsets and complicated lace up numbers look good in pictures but are very impractical on cam. They take forever to put on- when you go to prvt the guy wants it to come off NOW and after prvt you have 30 secs to get it back on... Plus if you spend a lot of money on an outfit you have to be worried about ripping it/damaging it/snagging a nail on it during prvt sessions.
What you should buy is bras that are sized a bit too small. It will give that overflowing busting out look. Black looks good on cam as well as bright colors. Neutrals and pastels will just fade out so stay away from them. Since youre a bigger girl- I would recommend spaghetti strap tank tops, so you can pull down the straps and show off your chest and leave the fabric still covering your mid section (if your self conscious about that area) Cheap denim mini skirts also work well (its the same concept- hike it up so the fabric covers your midsection)

Adam and eve always has a 50% off with free shipping code floating around on the internet, get a cheap toy even cheaper that way with free shipping, or hell get a sex toy kit and get it 50% with free shipping and have a few toys. I just used this one the other day: HEART50 it should still work, its for 50% any item, free shipping, and if you spend $17 total they throw in 3 dvds and a mystery thing.
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
No it won't make a difference hun, in fact because you're all sparkly and new for the first few weeks, you will most likely do BETTER than regular models because the guys will want to try you out. After the new girl honeymoon period ends, things will slow down, but hopefully you will have gained a few regulars by then and have enough money to invest in a few new goodies.
You don't need everything at once. Just invest a portion of your earnings back into your wardrobe and toy box when you can. If you don't want to use toys at all though i wouldn't worry - at least 80% of my shows guys don't even ask unless i specifically show them one of my toys or mention it :D
Re outfits, i still haven't figured that one out. I think it's specific to each girl, probably comes down to what she feels most comfortable and sexy in. I wear everything from just panties, to full on cocktail dress, and randomly the cocktail dress usually gets the most guys interested. I guess because it goes with my posh girl image x
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
Thank you for the replys, sorry my response took so long my internet got cut off so I guess I am going to have to find a vanilla job until I get caught up. *sigh*
Thanks again!
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
Fingers do work yes...but I think toys are definitely necessary...I disagree when others say it won't make a difference. Toys, outfits, etc all play a major role in camming....plus having your toys out in view kind of teases them a little bit.
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
I have to disagree as well. I am still a "new model" as well on streamate. I can say each time I log on I lose about 30% of privates when guys ask if I have a toy. They will either be nice about it or just leave. So tomorrow I am going out for a dildo! One to start is enough for me. We'll see!
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
Granted toys are more or less expected, but it does not mean you are going to do poorly without them. Maybe a person can make more with them, but that doesn't mean what they may make without them is not good.
Outfits really make no difference. I wear a bra, tank top, panties, and socks and do really well. I actually do better in my tanks than I do when I dress up in lingerie.
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
yeah it sucks when they ask if you have toys and you don't. I think it's essential to have 3 things. 1 dildo (not too big) 1 butt plug (if you'll do anal) and a hitachi for the ones who want to see you cum...really cum.
As for outfits, it may just be my look and energy (heavily tattooed, modern, natural) but I wear baby tees, thong panties, knee high socks and no makeup. I literally roll out of bed and cam and they love it. The natural look goes a long way if you have the face for it. I would focus on toys more than outfits. Just look cute. You can buy dildos and other sex toys wicked cheap on Amazon.

Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
I don't do toys unless it's for super awesome regs. Otherwise, for the last 5 months or so I haven't even bothered with them hardly. I do decent without them.
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
You can do really well with out toys.... But you have to market yourself that way... girls will loss show because they do not have toys and they are marketing themself in a way that guys think that they will use toys.
I have done show with toys
and I have done shows without toys
and I will tell you the money is about the same of me.
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
Well I'm a BBW with NO toys and I do fine. I have been camming since the beginning of the year and have only been asked once or twice about toys. I have a couple of toys and tell myself that I will use them but I never do but I am sure I will one day. I think everyones style of camming is different and some don't really need toys. I think what grabs my customers attention is that I have HUGE ass breast and that is the first thing they want to see in private/exclusive. It's almost kinda boring for me bc all I hear is can I see your tits bb or take off your shirt bb. LOL very easy privates where I don't even have to penetrate myself bc they just want to see my breast. The added bonus to that is I can work when I have my period. So toys may not be necessary for all cam girls but you may want to invest in one or two just to add something different to your shows.
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
I rarely ever get asked if I have toys. I even took myself out of the pregnant category and I'm still getting asked if I have milk. That's what usually loses me money.....the no milk after pregnancy.
Honestly, I've always done just fine with no toys. Then again, I'm more comfortable without toys....especially since I've never used a single toy in my entire life (no joke). I've never had special outfits or anything like that and still have done fine.
Re: Streamate- No toys...MFC "NewModel"
If you are worried about not having toys, I would suggest going out to your local porn shop and buying something cheap and basic. You can upgrade later when you start making $$$. I won't suggest something super cheap for every day use, but if you need just ANYTHING to carry you through to your first pay check when you can invest in a better toy, then I would check out the local adult store. They usually have a products in a range of prices. Since you dont have one right now, and maybe you never had a toy before, are you intimidated to walk into a store? Is that the hick up on the toy problem? I had that issue at first, but then after my first time I figured noone gives a flying f&%# and I shouldn't either.
Online has some great deals on toys, but if you are looking for cheap and now! go get one at an adult store. If you leave your house right now, you will have a brand new dildo in your hands within an hour.
If you honestly don't care if guys MIGHT bitch about you not having a toy, then rock those fingers until you get enough spare $ to get a toy.
Good luck babes!
