    They can keep walking then, because I for one am there to SELL. If I wanted more friends there are other places i can make them LOL. Don't kid yourself that any girl does MGF just for fun *rolls eyes*

    The guys on MGF seem to be in an unfortunate and misguided culture that expects things for free or very cheap. They continue to expect that because some girls give it to them. We are not sharing groceries here, we are sharing OUR BODIES! Sorry but MY body is worth something... a hell of a lot of something. If I wanted pennies, I would go work in a supermarket.

    I can't really speak for girls with tons of content, because I'm not one of them. But I don't see the point in selling all content cheap, then having to work hard to make more and more so you can keep selling it cheaply. It's far more profitable to keep your stuff at a reasonable price, and have guys come back time and again to complete their collection when and if they can afford you. If they don't know that every girl they speak to on there is ONLY speaking to them for their cash, then they really, really should not be signing up for these sort of sites!!

    I also don't see a point in putting ALL your content up there. I myself have done this, and i only sell maybe 4 of my clips on a regular basis. So it was kind of pointless spending so much time uploading them all.

    I'm going to experiment with prices for a week. I had them pretty high. And I have over 60 videos uploaded right now.

    Lowering them is going against myself right now but fuck it. I'll take a gamble for a week.

    I'm not selling the entire thing for pennies. They have to pay out the ass if they want all of it. But I did lower individual prices. My customs and cam prices have not budged and they never will.

    I'll try this and promote for a week and see if I get more $ out of it. If not I'll jack them back up again. and I don't care if I get labeled as a greedy money whore. I am. And 0.60 paid messages don't pay my goddamn bills, lol.

    Welp, I am there for fun. I like to have a good time that way.

    I pay my bills through other means so, I guess I am one of those types that likes to kick back and have a good time with someone. I just get paid for it.

    Some girls don't use it for a full-time job...and I just don't take it that serious anymore. I used to, until I saw what it actually did to me and how bad of a person I become. I am not saying it is with anyone else. That was just me..

    Again, it's not my purpose in replying TO offend, just saying what I have heard and been experiencing. I haven't been having any problems making anything with the way and style that I do things. I don't think I am all that nor do I want to be - but I am just having a great time making the content and selling it for prices I am comfortable with. I don't see the reason to get on the high horse of "I am worth this much and that much...and I want a guy that will pay it." The I am worth thousands of dollars attitude I never see go anywhere - and I haven't seen or met a guy that likes that attitude in a woman. I have figured out the best way to make the bank, is to be yourself and nothing but. The moment you let go, is the moment the cashflow stops.

    I have just moved from camming being a full-time job, to replacing it with another job and then going ahead and keeping something around that I still enjoy to have fun with really. Apparently, I am the exception.

    Again, just my opinion.

    and another problem I see - is when girls don't get a sale or don't get what they want from someone...

    They threaten to report them, cuss them out or what not...

    There's no reason for that - just move on to the next one..

    Guys have a right to be picky and I just feel like maybe, if we put ourselves in THEIR shoes for once...we might be able to better UNDERSTAND why they act the way they do and it might benefit us ON making money.

    Just my opinion but knowing and remembering men are such simple creatures works out for you in the end.

    I don't think someone should charge unrealistic prices. $50 for a 5minute clip would be unrealistic.

    But so is a paid message (0.60 whopping cents) for ALL of your content too. <-- THAT I find to be a lack of self-respect. It IS your body. Someone does have to pay for it. Everyone is worth more than 0.60 cents.

    So I get annoyed with the extremes in prices at MGF.

    I don't care if you have a pompous attitude. You can have an all-that attitude and make bank - cyber dommes and bratty princess personas make thousands off of it. So to say that guys don't like that attitude isn't true.

    It's all about finding a middle ground, or a higher ground, even, that you're comfortable with and that makes you $.

    and that's exactly what I have been hearing girls are doing.

    I disagree with the all content for a paid message. I think it's completely retarded.

    Absolutely - some girls DO make bank off that attitude. I was referring to the ones who are assholes - all the time.

    and I can't agree more - 100% with the statement about middle ground.

    Thank you for saying that!

    "Guys sponsor the girls and contribute to their fund in order to help them achieve their specific goals." This is where the entitled factor comes from. The guys remind me of the members on Sugar Daddy sites on speed.
    Bitch? Actually I'm an evil cunt. Slut? Try dirty little whore. Either way, you have to pay for it.

    I hate that site. I have a problem with the dude who runs it. I was trying to set up my account and he wouldn't let me use any of the names I picked because 'oh your personal blog is called this wtf' and he was sooooo rude to me and so snarky I told him to shove it and I'd make my $$ elsewhere. I'm classy

    I think I'm pretty tired of responding to posts to where girls want help or opinions when they are ask if they are doing something wrong...then you give them your POV and then they sit and argue with you about what works for you is something they just won't do, refusing to see this from another's perspective and then it turns out to be a complete waste of time. If you want someone's honest opinion and pointers and you are just going to negate them, fight them and never use them, it's pointless.

    from now on, I can't even give advice or help...because it seems like you are just made to feel like an ass when you share advice with others that works for you. zero point in trying to help people s
    that just fight you on it when they asked in the first place.

    I'll just do me as I have been because it's what works. after my extented vacation, it's better off for me to shutup, do for myself and keep the secrets that work for me. it seems No one is thankful or appreciative of anyone's advice but their know it all selves.

    good luck to of you.

    just remember, that No one has to share their nineteen money making secrets with you but because we like to help. it's now overrated and just down right taken advantage of. you got where you are because you got info from everyone instead of figuring out yourselves.

    My first day on MGF was September 5th. I am just a few hundred shy of the 2nd pay level and 96 positive ratings later, here is what has worked for me. It may not work for everyone or be everyones style. It is simply was has proven profitable for ME..

    I make most of my $$ on MGF from content and messages. I rarely cam on there because I cam on MFC. Usually I do cam shows for those who joined my Standard or Exclusive VIP, but half the time they don't even claim their "VIP" status, so I luck out there. MGF is my escape from camming.

    Break down of contributions:

    33% Messages
    61% Contributions
    06% Webcam

    Content:
    I sell M/F, F/F and Solo content.

    My M/F content runs between $15-$30 each. I currently have 10 M/F videos listed. The length of those videos are no less than 6 minutes and no more than 15.

    My F/F videos are priced between $5-$35 dollars. I have a total of 5. I have one video that is only 2 minutes long and only topless kissing, which I charge $5 for and a 24 minute one that I sell for $35. The rest range from 5 to 15 minutes.

    I have 2 solo videos that are around 12 minutes long and I sell one for $20 and 1 for $10.

    I charge an extra $10 per video if they want megauploads.

    I have two "Exclusive VIP" videos. One is a 33 minute 4some video, the other is a 66 minute public indecency video. I charge $175 for the two videos, and they get some VIP perks along with that. The VIP lasts 3 months. Usually they just want the videos and don't claim their VIP stuff. To date, I have sold 7 exclusive VIP's. Only 1 person asked for the monthly custom video that comes with it.

    Content Specials:
    Rarely I will run an "All Content" special. For most of November I ran one for $100 for all content to go towards my moving fund. For the last three days of this month I am doing $70 for all. I believe this is the cheapest I have ever gone for everything. Sometimes I get bites, sometimes I dont. It really depends.

    I have a standing special that I have had in place since my 2nd week there for "new friends". I offer those who have never sent me anything a free video for their first paid message. This works out well for me. I average about 5-10 a day for this special.

    I also have other specials that I throw in sometimes such as "buy 2 for $20 or 5 for $30" I switch up the amounts.

    Customs
    All of my customs start at $50. That gives them a 10-15 minute video. The less vanilla, the more it costs. If they want a shorter video, I still charge $50. I use the escrow system for customs, and that is the minimum amount required to use it. I don't make exceptions and make quite a bit off of customs. I do at least one per week.

    Messages:
    This is pretty easy. I respond to all messages I get within the same day they are sent. If I am not at home, I log into MGF via my phone. I make sure to pay attention to the interests of the person I am talking to, remember things about them, etc. I don't just give them short generic responses. I get to know them. I several guys that message me daily. My top messager has spent $579 in JUST messages over a 2 month period. Some guys just like to message back and forth. That 68 cents adds up after awhile.

    Every week I go through my friends list and message anyone who I haven't heard from in awhile or haven't heard from at all. Just a message saying hi, asking how they have been..etc. etc. I don't pimp my specials and I don't mention content in the message. I just am saying hi. I haven't run the percentages of responses, but its usually pretty good. If I had to guess I would say at 50% at least send a reply back. Even if to say "hey, thanks for the message, I have been busy, blah blah".

    Livechat:
    If it is someone who has never live chatted me before, I talk to them for a bit, maybe 15 minutes or so to feel them out and see if they are just looking to chat for free, or interested in content. If after 15 minutes they are not showing interest in contributing in one way or another, I tell them about my paid message special and I excuse myself using an excuse that revolves around someone else spending $$ on me. "I have to run, I have a scheduled cam show", etc. etc. Usually they will message me for the video, and then contribute via messages or content in the future.

    If it is someone who has messaged me before that I have gotten to know, I will talk for however long I or they feel like talking. I have had some great conversation on livechat.

    Picsets:
    I don't really do picture sets, but I understand these sell really well. I just hate stills of me.

    I sell at least 1 video a day and on average I make around $50 a day with minimal effort. But there HAVE been slow times. When I make a bigger effort and hustle, I make more. My best day has been over $300, and my worst day was $15. I have never gone a day making zero.

    I advertise on Twitter mostly. I usually have about 200 new sign ups a month when I don't hustle for sign ups and just post my link a few times a day. I placed 2nd - 5th in the monthly contest a few times and placed 1st -5th a few times in the weekly contest.

    I log in and out usually every 10 minutes or so, but sometimes I forget.

    So that's it - what works for me. LOL - If there is anything in there that helps, awesome. If not, thats ok too. Everyone has their own style, and if they are happy with the amount of $$ they are making doing it - so beit.

    I post in the offers blog sometimes, but nah, other than that I dont really blog. I hear it works well for other girls though. I just have nothing interesting to talk about via blog. LOL

    Just wanted to update on my price drop - it's a success. Suprisingly. I made about $50 today without getting on cam. Got a lot of IM's some time wasters some not. Experimenting isn't all that bad I guess.

    Congrats girly! I dropped my prices but looking at other girls pages I think I need to try lower. My solos were $15 but I see girls selling them for like $5 so I may do $10 (they started at $25)

    I'm new to MGF, I haven't found that chatting is a COMPLETE waste of time. I've actually had some of my biggest contributions after chatting with someone for a bit..

    However, I don't get nude so I'm probably not making as much as I COULD be there, considering 99% are nude (which is fine with me, it's just something I don't do) So ALL (and I mean ALL) my money has been made through messages and contributions.. I have not cammed once...

    I've had one guy ask me for cam, but it was late last night and I wasn't feeling it so he has to wait.

    I've edited my post title as it's not been a total waste of time for me either over the last few weeks. I do usually get a request for cam shows if i'm on, and a few guys have randomly stopped by a spoiled me. But i go days without a single message or reply to any of mine. It's a very frustrating site unless you already have a large following.
