Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
Have only been doing chaturbate and mfc for two weeks now roughly but the tips are getting lower and lower, yesterday I only made 70tks on chaturbate and none on mfc, I have danced, played games, tried various cheeky poses and nothing. I use adultwork but was hoping for a second site to use and I refuse to use streamate knowing how little they pay. Any suggestions?
Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
Give Streamate a try...seriously. I know 35% sounds like not a lot but with the amount of traffic there, 35% of a lot is better than 100% of nothing.
Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
You should try streamate.. I actually get way more off there now than AW because of the traffic.. and actually its pretty easy to use! I tried MFC for 1 week and found it wasnt for me. I say try it!!
Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
MFC Is getting shitter and shitter for me too. Im making all my tips off of the same 3 guys everday. i dono how they can afford all that money. i tried SM for the first time last week and I had 2 people spoke to me in an hour and logged off. had another 10 or so people come in for half a second and straight back out again, and the 2 people that spoke to me never went private or even suggested they might. i heard traffic was meant to be good at there, but i got more traffic on AW. I even would have been in the new girl section too. pfft. stick with AW or try MyGirlFund out, it's a little different than a camsite but the pay is higher than SM and instant payouts.

I can understand not wanting to work SM because they do take a large percentage but there's a reason why so many of us work there. They have traffic and most of us make the most on SM over any other site. I wouldn't want to spend hours on a 65-70% site just to make a low profit. Even though Sm takes a large % you could be making more on their then you could on the high-payout sites.
You can always try indy camming or mixing sm, aw, tips sites, and indy.... ya know putting more eggs into your basket.
Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
This is a hardcore sales job, it is our job to convert that traffic on those sites into sales.
I too at one time balked at the 35% SM had, but then once I signed up & banked. I knew that they were spending good money themselves on traffic that CONVERTS. Plus if you sign up guys yourself from marketing you make 75% of what they spend on you & 20% of what they spend on other girls. That is MORE than fair. I make $200 or more a week just off of the 20%
Personally, I am doing better on MFC than ever.
Rather than complain, I always look at myself & figure out how to be better at my job. Since plenty of girls are making money on those sites, I have to get real with myself & access it like a business.
Good Luck,
Sam

perhaps token based sites just aren't for you. They certainly aren't for everyone. What kind of a cam model do you want to be?
CB and MFC are VERY freechat token goal based. If you can't entertain a crowd it may not be for you.
If you'e looking for more privates definitley try SM
Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
Never hurts to try SM but a lot of ladies have been complaining about how slow it's been there also and having a hard time making the money they used to. I know for me it's gone downhill, so I'm trying other sites now.

Of course since everyone is sent there, it's over saturated.
Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
Haha..no doubt. Almost everyone recommends that site
Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
And maybe someone recommended SM to u too when u started there..... hypocrisy...
Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
MFC is crazy to watch if a model has 1,000 people in her room, but only her regulars (maybe like...6 dudes?) are tipping. MFC just boggles my mind. I am just to selfish to give a free show to 900+ people that just sit there and watch for 3-4 hours.
Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
Yes, would be much more fair if all of those 1000 people tipped to watch, even if only 1 usd per person.
Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
MFC is a creature that is beyond explanation or understanding. It puzzles many of the top porn industry head honchos too.
Each cam site is different. How you cam on each one is different too. You have to adapt & change you game up to make money.
Fact is many newbies don't make it in this business. One out of 100 or so actually make it a full time job that supports them, most give up & try a different job.
Many girls STILL make money on SM. Traffic & business is there, it is up to you to make that money for yourself. I know a gal who does $800 a day on SM & when she was only making $600 emailed me asking about other sites to cam on. So what maybe slow to one girl maybe bank to another. It is all subjective.
Good Luck,
Sam

I have chatted with many performers over the years and most will tell me the token sites are the toughest. I don't see this. I would rather ask for some token for a wanker to sit in my room then wait in hopes of a private show. I see each as having their own + and - about them however.
Try SM, and some sites that are mainly geared towards privates per minute shows.
Good luck :)

Exactly. I think it might just be slow all around.

Re: Chaturbate and MFC are sucking the life out of me
I echo the others about SM. In fact, I felt exactly the same way about SM as you do (about the 35% thing). Long story short, SM was my first site ever and I sucked at it. It was seriously awful. I stayed on for two months and then moved to MFC in June 2012, which has since provided me enough income to support myself, hubby, and three cats lol. Plus some. But I still wanted a back up site because that's just a good idea. Problem was, I was still boycotting SM in my head haha. I also briefly tried CB, MGF, and LJ, all of which I hated. So I finally sucked it up and signed up on SM again like a week ago. And this time, it is going wayyyy better than I imagined. Point is, you just have to try things and see what sticks. Avoid psyching yourself out with preconceived notions about a site.
Try not to get hung up on certain ideas about certain sites. If I had read all the "MFC is scary" posts, I may never have tried it and gained a steady income. If I had let myself keep holding a grudge against SM, I wouldn't be making easy money on there right now, even after a previous failure there.
Now onto MFC. Here's my experience- it's a life-eater lol. If you want to do well on there you pretty much need to be on there consistently to keep up a following. If you really get into it, and expect to make a living, there isn't much time or energy left to put into other sites, honestly. Are you popping on there sporadically at random times? Or are you around at least a few days a week around the same time? This is very important for MFC. But if you are burnt out after two weeks, something needs to be tweaked. Or maybe token sites aren't your thing. There are sooo many factors that have to go right on MFC. It's a weird fucking place lol. Take a breather if you must, gather yourself, and go back to MFC.
My advice is to KEEP CONTROL of your room and go with the flow. And this is cheesy, but absolutely true for me- be yourself on MFC. Don't try to play a character. Many MFC guys appreciate a real personality, if that makes sense. You could even be trying too hard, as silly as that sounds. The MFC boys can smell eagerness and desperation, and they don't respond well to it. You could be giving them too much (ex. by dancing and entertaining them too much for free), or too little (not talking a lot or not letting your personality shine). For example, if you just have a bunch of talkers who never tip, lay down the law and show them you can't/won't stick around if you aren't being tipped. That your time is valuable. Like, "Sorry guys, I enjoy hanging out with you, but I can't stay online tonight if I'm not being tipped. We'll try again tomorrow!"
It's a major balancing act. As far as games? I have really varied success with those. The only time my games ever succeed is when I have regulars willing to play. They may work on one day, then not work the very next day. MFC requires some crazy flexibility. I personally haven't done games in forever. They aren't necessary. I will admit, it can be a mindfuck at times. But it's doable.
Two weeks also is not a long enough time to know if you will bank or tank there. Stop expecting so much from yourself! You need time to adjust, and time to lock down your target audience.
As for CB, sorry, but I hate that site lol. I know others will disagree, but this is just my own opinion based on my experience. Don't bother with CB for now. Just put your energy into MFC if you would like it to work. There is more earning potential there, IMO. Well worth the effort if you stick it out.
But I also do suggest getting on SM. You can use it for when MFC is sucking and you just need to chill. That's what I use it for. And who knows, you may find that SM is your kind of site, and end up doing well. You won't know until you give it a shot. What do you have to lose?
Sorry that was so long lol.
