MFC and other camming sites
Hi, I am currently on MFC and make about 400 a week. That seems really low to me for showing myself on the internet and I am not bad looking or boring. I am young 21 but I still feel like its really hard to make money on there. I feel like the free chat on MFC is what is killing me. Has anyone had better experience with streammate or other sites after being on MFC? I know that in my previous post someone responded to not put all of my eggs in one basket but it is kind of a long process to get signed up with other sites so I am just wondering if anyone has felt that it is worth it?
Thanks again.
Re: MFC and other camming sites
Welcome to the forum!
There are several threads on this forum about MyFreeCams, Streamate, and other cam sites. So much information on here that it'll make your head spin...lol. I promise you that it will be worth it for you to take some time and read through some of the threads though.
Good luck!
Re: MFC and other camming sites
Is it worth it?
Well, are you happy making $400/week? Are you happy with MFC and the free chat and all of that?
If not, then yes it's worth it.
Re: MFC and other camming sites
NO offense AT ALL - and I hope NO ONE takes this the wrong way but can't you make $400 a week working at a restaurant NOT showing your lady parts?
I'm sure you can make more at hooters.
Re: MFC and other camming sites
It really depends on where she is located and if she has experience on getting a job at a restaurant, but with that said...retail was 500 every two weeks for me. or so, after taxes i brought home 850. Sounds like 400 is worth it...if you are new it will take time to build up that customer base. You have to thing like a business man...seriously...get real fucking creative with show ideas...and act crazy....I dont even do sex shows and i am starting to make 1000 a week.....but my mind is very very business like. If you wanna chat just pm me.

It would not be worth it to me to make such a low amount. MFC didn't work for me and I don't have time to spend trying to build fans there. Some love it and do well but for me I can't have even a couple of weeks spent with that low of a wage. I have bills to pay and nobody but me to do it.
Since you asked specifically about Streamate - yes I think the process to get signed up with them would be totally worth it for you, even if it takes a few weeks (which it will probably not be quite that long).
Put in the same hours on SM and see if you don't get way more $ for your time.

The working conditions in restaurants/hooters suck way more than camming from my bed/couch in the privacy of my own home. You have to deal with asshole bosses, stupid coworkers, and douchebag customers that you can't ban.
My 2 cents.

That's true but I rather work there than be online diddling myself or whatever else for such a low pay.
Hell for me knowing that my show could be recorded and posted on pornhub or whatever else made me work harder,
if I'm going to be copied and pasted everywhere - may as well be getting paid in full for it. Again I'm not trying to put anyone down.
I understand some ladies do this for supplementary income and I see what you mean
by making that money from the comfort of your own home and not having to deal with some
asshole boss but even then I don't think that $400 is worth it but ... Just my 2 cents.
Re: MFC and other camming sites
What I make is really not that much $$ compared to a lot of the ladies here. But I have a 24/7 job that covers my rent&utilities (live in caretaker for a close friend), camming just needs to cover my food, gas, enertainment, etc. I also live with disk disease in my back which causes chronic pain so I do not have a lot of job options that pay much. I could be making about 8/hr at a "regular" job- but I'd also be increasing activities that cause me major pain and even have a chance of laying me out for a few days. With camming I can get on when my friend is sleeping and I can control what activities I do, and what level of activity. I can even cam with my pain level relativity high, at other jobs I'd have to miss work thus missing my paycheck. Plus I wouldn't be able to tend to my friend and provide him with the level of care I do if I was stuck working 8-12hr shifts somewhere. I do cam on multiple sites, sometimes the paychecks are all pretty low but put together they make a lot more than what I could be making elsewhere. My situation is incredibly unique - but just reminding y'all that there's a good amount of girls out there with odd circumstances.
To the OP I'd definatly sign up for another site, if you aren't happy making that amount you should see what site you CAN make what's right for you- there's a site for every girl, and for some girl's it's 2 or 3 sites.
Re: MFC and other camming sites
She didn't mention how many hours per week she is camming. If she's only on 2 hours per night, 3 times per week then that sounds about right. If she's working full time then that's definitely not worth it.
I'm a full time college student and sometimes I'm lucky if I put in 8 hours per week, those are the weeks I make $400. $50/hr? ok.

Re: MFC and other camming sites
I have been working 3 hours each night 5 nights a week. Some days a ton of guys are in my rooom getting privates and tipping and then certain times nothing.I am a fullltime student so this works with my schedule well but I am still exposing myself in a way where I think I deserve more than 400-450 a week. My camscore also fell for whatever reason. I think finding a different site would be better. I know it has nothing to do with my looks but maybe what I am doing in free chat not entertaining enough... not sure. Do people have better experiences on streammate or imlive cams etc? What would you all recommend? I cant take the freeloaders on mfc anymore.....
Re: MFC and other camming sites
Whatever you do, don't click visit website links from random MFC members. I was going through old MFC Mail just now, and some asshole named MODERATOR0 had messaged me a link, and said "I think this site is airing your MFC video feed." I was dumb enough to visit it, and it was just some stupid repetitive video of some faceless chick riding a cock...and it said "You've been dick rolled!" I tried to close it out, but all these smart-ass messages kept popping up, refusing to let me exit. I had to restart my computer to get that shit off the screen.
As soon as I did that, I logged into MFC and put that douche on my ban/ignore list.
Re: MFC and other camming sites
dick rolled- lawl, that's kindddda funny. @Ali- you could also try doing non-nude? 3hrs isn't that long, technically a part time job. How many hours do you spend working offline (i.e. tweeting, tumblring, writing messages to custies?) Try taking how much you've earned and dividing it with how many hrs you worked- you'll find your hourly "wage" and that figure makes a lot of us feel better about what we're making. I'd strongly encourage you to read around the boards and use search function to find threads on the sites you are curious about- there's a lot of great information out here :] Lots of girls do well on Adult Work, Streamate, some do well on Imlive (but they have chargebacks) and there's been an increase in the number of girls on chaturbate :] Check em out!
Re: MFC and other camming sites
There's not really an official ImLive thread on here, so I'll just post this here.....
The other day I was looking at my host recorded live sessions on ImLive, and I was actually impressed with a short video of me riding THE FUCK out of a dildo...LMAO!!! I usually feel weird watching myself on video, but watching it made me go "Oh, shit...that's hot..." It makes me wanna just buy this Tantus dildo off Amazon, because I NEED a new toy that I can ride the fuck out of. The toy in that video was one of those cheap rubbery dildos (NOT good to be fucking yourself with), so obviously I don't use that toy anymore and need a new one for riding. For now I just use glass dildos, but you can't stick a glass dildo to the floor and ride it good...lol.
So I'm gonna get:

Never click any links you're unsure of. This is how you get hacked. A guy hacked my cam once and it was NOT fun!
Re: MFC and other camming sites
BrownFox, I just bought that dildo last week and it is amaaaazing! The silicone is soft, and it's constructed really well. Tantus makes some of the best dildos.

I'm glad to hear your opinion on it. Thanks! :) Another good thing about silicone toys is that they don't smell bad, so doing a little BJ tease on it won't bother my mouth like that rubbery Swedish Erotica dildo used to.
I think I'm gonna get the Tantus dildo in Cocoa. Amazon is saying that the original prize is like $90 (Sheesh!), and it's actually half off right now.
UPDATE: I just ordered it, and it will be here between October 15th and 16th. :D

MFC doesn't allow you to delete your model account just to start over with a fresh cam score. Maybe once in a blue moon a couple of girls are lucky enough to get away with it, but I think they've caught on to the fact that some girls have done this, because I know that they have refused to let models close it and start over.
So rather than making new model accounts over and over again (plus constantly changing your info may start to annoy and confuse your regulars), I say you should just take some time to read up on the MyFreeCams threads on here, and when you're OFF CAM from MFC maybe even get some paper out and brainstorm ideas for what you wanna do with your chat room and profile. The moment I click that button to start broadcasting live, I try to already have an idea what my room topic will be...because I don't want to waste time sitting there going "Hmmm...what should my room topic be?" Guys on MFC (and other cam sites too, really) have a habit of hopping from room to room really quickly, so our job is to try to KEEP THEM in our rooms...it can be difficult.
Also, it's important that you don't allow yourself to stay on cam for too long without tips. It may be tempting to try a 6-hour shift on MFC to see how much money you make, but if you've been on for a full 1 hour already and still have received 0 tokens, you should log off, or at least post that ten minute timer emote warning members that you're logging off if you don't get x tokens in the next 10 minutes. And the emote I'm referring to is that cool ten-minute countdown timer that's displayed in chat when you post this :tenmin. You actually have to type the colon and put the phrase tenmin beside it, the way that I just did there. Also, post on the MFC news feed and on Twitter "I need ___ more tokens to get topless within the next __ minutes...otherwise I'm logging off and will see you guys again on ____ night." Or however you wish to word it. Sometimes people will see that and will chip in what they're willing to give to get your boobs out or whatever.
I always think it's a good idea for cam models to have more than one cam site that she's active on. If MFC is a total fail that night, log off and hop on Streamate instead, or ImLive, or AdultWork, etc...or SPLITCAM or 2 sites simultaneously if you can manage that. I don't recommend that models splitcam while broadcasting on MFC though. That site requires more attention (plus you have a cam score to deal with).
