All frazzled....and KUDOS to you ladies that do this everyday.
So...it's been two days so far on MyGirlFund.
Can I just say I don't know how you ladies do it. It is WAY more work than people give cam girls credit for. I had read quite a bit about camming and such months ago when I considered it...but I got cold feet when it came to information about how some sites will record your sessions and put them out there on the internet / issues with taxes.
My wrists are KILLING ME. Like literally killing me. I'v had them twisted in all these fucked up positions today to reach the mouse, move the laptop, hold up my weight / move myself around. My feet are bruised on the top...I have NO idea what the hell I did.
Like...am I just old or what?
Now with MGF, I am conflicted. It is REALLY really slow. Like...soooooo slow.
Is it always like that or is it just me? XD ....
I feel sort of defeated because I know you need to stay online to get the men to come see you...but if there is no men on...then what am I doing? -_-
And seriously...I have never hated lighting or lightbulbs more than I do now.

Hang in there, sweetie. I am only six months into it and everyday I shake my head at how hard it is. Not that I don't enjoy it and I don't want to complain–it's the logistics and the sheer amount of focus involved that poops me out. But I do have to say you just gotta stick with it, and when you start having some success you suddenly have more energy and the hard parts seem easier. Hang in there! I had no luck with MGF but I am an old so I can't say about that site. I do recommend Streamate–with all the issues that pop up, it still has great traffic and the money is there if you work it. Try different times of days, experiment with things, and be patient! xoxoxo

Hang in there! Also, don't be afraid to set some limits if there is something you aren't comfortable with, even if its certain positions. The best thing I ever did when I started camming was to learn that I don't have to do whatever they want...
Also, MGF is great to start on because you can get a feel for what its like to cam at more of your own pace...but I agree, they are super slow and you really have to hussle that site to generate some income. Most I ever made on there was like 150 dollars over two days, which at the time I thought was great...but now, I look back and see how earlier today I made that in about 4 hours and wonder why I tried sooo hard on that site when I wasn't getting great results. Definitely experiment with different sites, you will be SO grateful you did!
Re: All frazzled....and KUDOS to you ladies that do this everyday.
Hey thanks for the encouragement you guys!!!
I think once I get a proper webcam, and one that isn't built into the laptop that I can physically move around...then it'll help with the positioning and stuff.
And I like the concept of MGF because it seems (at least so far) that if someone is interested in chatting with you to begin with...then they'll want to pay to see you on cam etc. I haven't really had any "time wasters"....just nice gentlemen :)
Before when I was researching camming i'd sit and watch girls shows on websites like MFC or Streamate. MFC scared the shit out of me to be honest haha....it was confusing and like...just the stuff they'd do on camera in public rooms...I dont think I could work it infront of a bunch of people like that haha.
Streamate seemed good - although if I recall girls were always far off from their 'goals' for gold shows or whatever they're called.
....Mygirlfund seems more "private"...like...I don't think they re-sell your videos or anything like that (maybe im wrong???)
I just don't really want to be on some tube site or something :{

I stayed up suuuuper late last night, but got to entertain an interesting fellow. Although, he felt guilty after or something....like....I don't know if it was the money spent or it was just to "real"..... He almost made ME feel guilty for whatever he was feeling.
Re: All frazzled....and KUDOS to you ladies that do this everyday.
"nice gentlemen" usually are time wasters, dont be fooled. and yeah i get a bad back and sore legs sore arms sore everything from laying in stupid positions all day. i hate reaching 4 the mouse it really really really IS so much effort lol.
Re: All frazzled....and KUDOS to you ladies that do this everyday.
Oh you can't just sit and wait for guys to come to you! You have to reach out for them on MGF! Like we told you in the other thread you have to look for them, message, chat.. I like it and you can make a lot if you hustle it the right way, making friends, I'll never stop saying I can match some of the SM earners on here with MGF.
And time wasters are waaaaaay better than trolls imo ;P
And yeah everyone believes money get thrown for nothing to camgirls but we work a lot and risk everything. Videos get stolen from everywhere...
Re: All frazzled....and KUDOS to you ladies that do this everyday.
It is a hustle. Takes time to figure out what works for each model.
Nice guys are the worst about wasting your time & energy for no money. Which in the long run means they are NOT nice at all. because he is still benefiting but you aren't.
SM is awesome. Don't discount free chat. Give you the opportunity to convert them into sales.
See it all as a challenge. Mine is to spend WAY more time in paid chat over free chat on SM.
Dont reach for the dildo UNLESS they request it. I can cam 6 hours and maybe use the dildo for only 5 minutes. I up my game with emoting sensuality & sex without using the dildo at all. Which makes me way more money.
You do NOT have to do gold shows on SM to make money. I maybe at the most do 3 a day, usually just 1. Privates & exclusives is where I make my money. Appealing to guys who want a discounted price all day long isn't the kind of client I want in my room.
Must attack this job like a full time job. 1. Cam on several sites to figure out which one works best for you. 2. Each site has a different hustle, figure out that hustle & perfect it daily. 3. MARKETING Create your own sales, your own brand so that you make the most money out of your time on cam.
Can't stress Marketing enough. I personally have tripled the amount of money I make in the same time over the past year with just marketing.
Cam 30 hours a week & spend 20 hours on marketing. Treat marketing like a part time job. I love seeing the results of my marketing.
Just the other day I made $80 before logging onto SM for my cammodel link alone. This made my daily goal much easier to reach.
MFC is a harder hustle. I don't do public shows. Privates on it are my best earners. Just flashes for a tip. But you can hustle so many different ways on it. First perfect your hustle on other sites before trying to conquer MFC.
Yes, it is hard, but well worth the time & effort in the long run.
Good Luck,
Sam

This thread has made me nostalgic about my first days of camming haha. Keep at it girl. Try some other sites.
