New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
Hello girls!
I just started yesterday on MFC and I'm pretty much worried and depressed. Or at least confused.
I didn't get one single private show (although few guys asked me to go on skype, but I didn't know is it allowed to accept it so I didn't)... I earned only few dollars for 2 hrs in tips and kept my lingerie on because I think it's a bit cheap getting naked in free chat, am I right??
I'm confused because I look pretty good (model look, no big boobs :( but still I have a good body!)
I have the urgent need to make $500-1000 in like a month, it will literally SAVE MY LIFE, lol
So please girls, I need all the advices you can give:
what websites should I join? How much to charge for skype shows? everything!!
have a nice day, xx
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
Everything? It would be easier for one of us to just write you a cheque.
This forum is a huge resource...maybe start with reading the pinned threads.
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
LOL well I know it's impossible just transferring all the experience through a post I just meant some most important things I should follow in my first month.. but those two are my main questions.
Reading ... yes, this forum is better than all the info I ever got about this job.

I'm am sorry you're going through whatever it is that makes you in need of that cash so urgently, but I have to repeat what other girls have said in other topics all over SW:
camming isn't easy, fast money. I suggest you rethink your strategy here.
With that said, I second Classy_Katy advice: read SW thoroughly. Start with the sticky threads, move on to site-specific thread and then you'll have an idea of what awaits you in the camming world. Good reading and good luck. Also, welcome to SW!

@lavishLivia
tnx and as I said, reading carefully... and im sorry if I sounded too anxious it's not that im under the life threat but it's just that continuing my studies and moving out from my somewhat troubled family depends on this... but im aware camming doesn't mean $1000 in a blink of an eye...
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
MFC isn't a private based site. I see a lot of girls starting on MFC because it generally has the fastest approval rate. As Livia said, camming isn't easy, fast money. Most of the girls that post regularly here have been camming consistently for at least a year (most, longer) so I can see why it would seem like fast money to newbies, which is why I avoid posting my earnings. I would say, just join as many sites that you can and figure out which one works best for you. The ones I can think of on the top of my head are MyFreeCams, Chaturbate (token based sites), Cams, Streamate, AdultWork, ImLive (private based sites) and Naked (I think both token/privates ... not completely sure about this one). To find out about the different sites, there's a search option at the top of the screen but Google works better for me when I search things on here. Like if I was trying to learn more about cams.com, I would go to google and search "cams.com Stripperweb" and it'll post results from here.
Anyways, this might be a bit jumbled. I've been up all night and about to hit the hay.

I think girls do lots of things in free chat there. From what I've seen they set a goal in tokens and say what they'll do when they reach it. I think you should spend some time in the rooms of the other girls there to see what they're doing. At least that's what I would do, but I'm not on MFC.
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
I don't mean anything cruel by my remark -- but if you need money by the end of the month maybe stripping would be a better fit for your needs?
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
I'm just starting out too and I think it is important to take some time to do the research. Lots of research. I also think when you are in desperate need for cash--- its probably the worst time to start camming because the money doesn't come fast. Stripping is fast money, even cocktail waitressing is fast money but I don't think camming is. I'm being really calculated about everything thing. My alfits, my room theme, buying a wig, how I'm going to do my makeup to conceal my identity... etc. I would get a notebook and pen or open a word doc and start taking notes from all the threads in this forum. These ladies know their stuff!
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
Honey, camming is NOT fast cash. I know everything is set up to make you believe that, (Make $10,000 a week BS ) but generally the girls you see who are doing well have been at it for a while. I have to second JustAnothereCG's suggestion. If you are comfortable with the adult industry, you are gonna see much faster cash with stripping.
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
tnx to all of you ladies, your answers have been helpful :)
@exxotica - hope we will have a good start, girl!
@justanothercamgirl - i would rather go stripping honestly, but where i live it's just not possible and it would bring a lot problems and a little money :( wish i was in vegas or something lol
it's not that i thought i'll be making $10.000 / month and that it's easy and fast cash, but i'd do anything to be able to make $1.000-2.000 and manage that my bf doesn't find out yet :)
besides, i'd like to work on my room decor, make up transformation and such to at least make it look like the good classy porn, now that im getting into somehow porn industry ...
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
I really doubt it's possible to make 1000-2000 in a month. Most sites don't pay immediately and even if you manage to hit the goal I don't think you'll get the money instantly. But I'm not quite sure, I'm new also and I still haven't got paid from a site. But from what I read I think that's the case.
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
What you just asked is like being given a book with all the answers to a final exam, and freaking out at your classmates telling them you need all the answers when you're too lazy to read the book yourself?
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
At one point I commuted to strip 1.5+ hours or so each way. If you are only working 2-3 nights a week it is very possible. Any big cities around that distance for you??

This isn't true.
However it may not be a cakewalk.
If you are looking for "fast money" MFC and MGF are definitely the best two sites to capitalize on the "new girl" tag and money can come in quite easily on both sites while you have that tag as long as you strategize and hustle them right. However if you don't build up regulars once your new girl tag is gone your traffic and money can disappear.
This means having a game plan before logging on the MCF....knowing the rules...knowing which rules the site is extremely strict about and which ones they are lax on, also knowing how to put off the new girl vibe but not seeming so naive the guys trick you into scams or doing something for less money than you could have got.
With MGF it means having your profile fixed up from day 1 and having content ready to be sold. However beware that approval times on MGF can vary wildly from person to person.
As far as payout times on the two sites... MFC pays out twice monthly on the 1st and 15th and MGF can be hooked up to your bank account with no minimum payout and you can get the money in less than a week.
I know you need money fast...but take a day or two, read everything you can on here..."work" the time you would've been camming by reading everything you can get your eyes on here.
Also like others have said you might want to look into stripping or some other alternative means of obtaining money fast such as a loan from a family member.
Also....camming is not only about "good looks" its about hustle, personality and consistency.

I can tell you that when I first started caming that I did not make $1000-2000 a month at first. Took me a while to work up to it. I also had to invest a lot of my first checks into computer hardware and lighting.
I am not saying it is impossible to do, and I am not saying that you can't do it. I am just mentioning that I wasn't able too.
But hey, you never know till you try it right? ;)

Ty bb for pointing this out
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
I recently pulled my first few weeks of earnings from SM to show someone the difference and I averaged 4-500 weekly in the beginning BUT I was on cam all the time. ALL.THE.TIME.
ALSO a big difference is
THE AMOUNT OF MODELS WE HAVE NOW, I'm not sure how much *competition I had when I first started but it was years ago and the industry has picked up a lot of new models since.
*competition I don't view any model as competition as we are our own , what I mean is the amount of models with same niches etc. Every model is different even if they have the same niche
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
MFC isn't really a private based site. I'm looking at the frontpage right now. there are 975 girls online and 25 in private show. Go figure. Also there seems to be a massive influx of new girls starting up lately. Theres more cammodels than 'paying' customers right now. With all that choice out there you better hope your a big appeal to guys, unlike the girls who already built their customer base, your just a little fish in a vast ocean right now. $1000 is doable in a month but probably not on mfc as a less-than-average girl with no clue. if you want private shows go somewhere else, SM or somewhere. if you want to flop around like a fish for 4 hours and earn nothing stay where u r. not saying u wont ever earn anything on mfc but since your post makes out u need help really bad im guessing u r not that sort-after. no offense. good luck on a proper site.
Re: New girl in webcam modelling - please help!
Different people are gonna have different opinions about all of the cam sites, but the truth is that you signed up for a site that's difficult and overwhelming for a FIRST-TIME cam model. MFC, in my opinion, is a great site and probably my favorite, however you're a brand new cam model, so I think a different site like Streamate would have been a better choice for your first site. MFC is one of those sites where if you log in and none of your regular spenders are online, it's kinda like "Aw, fuck...now who's gonna tip/chat with me?" LOL. I think a lot of your MFC income would come from your regulars, but as a new model you don't have any regulars yet, and you also need to get "schooled" on the whole cam score thing too. It's a bit overwhelming, so maybe try a different site like Streamate first. I highly recommend you read the following threads, as well as any other StripperWeb/Camming Connection threads you have time to read.
https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...-For-Cam-Girls
https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...reamate-Thread
https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...reeCams-Thread
Also, don't allow guys to pay you with PayPal...EVER. PayPal has a strict policy about no adult transactions. You are gonna encounter lots of guys asking you about PayPal...don't accept it. Good luck!
