    Default Newsflash: This is a still a job!

    I'm seeing a lot of new girls on this board.

    All talk, no action with a lot of you girls.

    Too many questions and "please help me." "What am I doing wrong??" "What is the best site??" "best hours?" all amount to: "tell me how to make money!"

    To put it bluntly. No one here is going to spoon feed your lazy-self.


    EDIT: Do not come in here and demand answers from us. Especially without a kind attitude or a thank you. YOU are our competition. Why should we do all of the work for your lazy self? Why should we tell you step by step how to make money????

    So funny how some people just come into this type of work and try to demand everything because they are too lazy to actually do the proper research for it. THIS IS AN INDEPENDENT BUSINESS. This is a job! You are now SELF-employed. No one will hold your hand in the real world if you can't figure 99% of it out on your own. Why do you expect us to do any differently????

    If you came up to the owner of the Cheesecake Factory and asked them to tell you all about the menu recipes and running your own knock-off restaurant they would laugh in your face and kick your ass out the door. Why do you expect us, hardworking women, to fall on our faces and cater to YOU??

    If you can't do something as simple as read up on what you plan to earn money from (!!) from then you might as well throw in the towel now, because you will end up sinking before you get anywhere.






    Before you clog up this board with endless amounts of regurgitated questions, sit down and ask yourself,

    Did I read Miss Ego's sticky'd: 'Starting Place for Camgirls' thread?

    Did I use the search function?

    Did I actually READ threads? Reading the threads here are the MOST helpful thing you can do to learn about how to make $$$ in this biz. Don't do anything but search and read through this forum for a week, spend hours doing it - you will become SO much more knowledgeable.

    How many hours have I actually worked before complaining about money?

    Have I switched up my hours. Instead of afternoons, work nights, etc. ?

    Have I actually TRIED to do something before whining or wondering if it was going to work or not?



    Try all of that, THEN come back and ask questions.



    There is no best site to work on.

    There is no best time to work on.

    It all depends on YOU and experimentation. What works best for the girl who makes $1,000 a week will not be the same as what works for you.

    It is possible to make any amount of money no matter if your short, tall, fat, skinny, nude, non-nude, or missing limbs.



    Holy grail of best advice/info on this forum: It takes WORK, and EFFORT and ACTION to succeed. If you never put forth an effort, if you never try, you will never succeed at anything.

    Some of you need a wakeup call that this is a still a JOB. Hours and hours of cam-time, promotion, social networking, etc. If you can't handle that then bounce, and the rest of us will gladly pick up after your lazy-self.

    Some of us still work 30+ hours a week, but we see $$$$ paychecks out of that hard work.

    No one is going to hand you money.

    And no one here is going to tell you the "secret" to making it. There is none. Get your ass in gear and WORK for it.

    To paraphrase what I think the best quote I've read so far on SW about the true secret of making the most money at this job can be summed up in just four words.

    The one thing I hate the most is people who think this is just so easy to do and it's not a "real job" and etc, etc. I bust my freaking ass to make the money I do.... sure I make like 10 times as much as I would doing minimum wage but damn I work for it!

    My family is like this.... my mom and my sister think that it is the easiest thing in the world to do. Like I can just sit on my ass and do nothing and the money will still keep pouring in.... ugh!! Wake up people, we work our asses off!

    I'm actually getting kind of tired of wading through the "hold my hand" posts. I love to help people but really, there are so many of the same threads being posted it's getting old.

    Thanks for putting this out there! Sadly, I don't think it's going to matter because the new girls aren't even going to click on it.
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    Thanks Hayden!!!

    Usually I try to be really nice and kind in all my posts, and try to be understanding of the newbs, but all the hand-holding recently has resulted in a snippy, curt, "use the search function for gawds sake!" Roses.

    But reading this thread made me happy again....aaaaah. Like a glass of wine at the end of a long day.

    I agree it's quite annoying to see the same posts popping up. And a lot of ppl who post them are quitters....... "i didnt make any money so i logged out and then i tried again and told myself if no1 tips within 10 minutes i will leave so my score dont go down" thats what annoys me the most. fuck camscore on MFC... screw it in the arse!!! camscore does not reflect earnings. if u stay online for 6 hrs and make £100 and another girl stays online for 2 hrs and makes £100 sure HER camscore is higher but YOU made the same money or you could log off and MAKE NOTHING and cry about your stupid camscore that means shit. MISS MFC is based off earnings and NOT camscore. I have figured out myself lately not to bother with the damn camscore and u know what... I am laughing all the way to bank. the score might fall because I do long shifts but my bank account and fanbases increases Moral of the story..... you gotta lose something to make something the sooner the newbies on mfc realise this the better.

    Also (and this one is important) the threads that get ignored because the question has already been asked and answered ten times over? The more of those their are, the harder it will be for other newbies to find what they're looking for. Please be considerate with starting threads and make sure what you want to know hasn't already been beaten to death or is something personal. A lot of camming is trial and error. You can have two busty blondes with blue eyes living in Cali and you know what? One might bank, and the other may fail. There's little nuances to success so mimicking does not give you a leg up on the competition at all. Especially if it doesn't ring true to who you are.

    Like ShyWebCamGirl said, turn on your cam. And give it longer than a month with barely any hours put in before you start crying about not making the money the top girls do. They've been at this for years and yes, it is WORK.

    There are entirely too many threads trying to compare and contrast personal variables.

    I also love this thread, and thank you Hayden!

    I've been reading this forum since early summer, and made an account in August, but in all that time I've only had to create ONE thread (and that was after seeing several disrespectful comments towards a mod that made me cringe, and compelled me to make a thank you, mods! thread). Why? Because ALL the questions or concerns I had were answered or brought up in existing threads. There's a big difference between just posting a ton and actually CONTRIBUTING to the forum. There's nothing wrong with asking a genuine question after researching, but I agree that the how much do you make, tell me where/when/how on here entitlement on here has gotten out of control lately.

    Also, I meant to go back and thank you for the cyber monday post Hayden, because it was a lifesaver for me and I really needed some cheap good quality nylons and got them with lightning fast shipping from yandy.com, but it's so buried under new threads I couldn't find it. So thanks for that too.

    High 5. I was once a noob. I still am in many ways. I have nothing against noobs but my best advice to the new girls to this forum are to dedicate a whole day to just going through, using the search function, and reading ALL the sticky threads! THEN come back and ask questions if you're still unsure... preferably on the proper thread instead of starting your own. Then the day after that, GET ON CAM! Learn by doing, then come back here with more questions (because you will have them), use the search function, lather rinse repeat.

    Whenever I find a forum, plundering old threads is the first thing I do before I even make an account! I wish this was standard practice, because half of the things these n00bs are asking I found answers to before my first post

    I read and soaked up all the knowledge I needed before even creating an account. I think I've asked a couple of questions here and there. Seriously I read for like 2 months a couple of hours a day on here before even thinking about posting.

    my biggest problem with the newbies asking all the questions is them not giving anything back.
    i understand if you haven't been camming forever and can't give advice on that...
    but answer some questions..computer problem questions...twitter questions...photo editing questions...even if your new the industry there has got to be SOMETHING you can share knowledge on.

    I made a thread EXACTLY like that and maybe you're talking about me.

    I'm a newbie and I didn't understand how MFC worked, I still don't in a way but I still log off after no tipping afraid my camscore goes down... BUT I am 4 hours a day in another site working very hard and sometimes I don't make ANY money in 2 hours and sometimes I just made 20 dollars working 5 hours a day taking just 1 break.

    Maybe there are a lot of newbie threads, but I don't think this is a good attitude towards the noob girls. "CHECK OUT THIS OLD POST" is a better advise to us when we are repetitive and the mods can just close or erase the thread after the newbie reads it.

    Maybe not EVERY newbie is working as hard as I am, but I CANNOT be sure so maybe don't comment and just assume things.

    For most of the more wellknown sites (MFC, Adultwork, Streamate) there are threads dedicated to asking and answering questions about them. In fact, here's MFC's. I normally don't respond to threads like this, but EVERY new MFC thread I've seen in the past week has had questions that were answered in that thread.

    Maybe the site-specific threads need to be sticked :|

    When you're a newbie you READ EVERYTHING and still think that maybe there's more to know and don't know where to stop asking. It's not hard to empathize because you all were newbies too.

    I may be bashed for this, but I think that both the decision to go into camming and the details that come along with it can be a bit overwhelming for newbies (including myself). I've actually been very excited to start everything and I have a good work ethic and plan to have a pretty full schedule and stick to it even if things are slow at first. I've learned a LOT by reading through the threads and I've definitely done way more reading and searching then I have been asking questions. Some of the things that I've asked have been asked in one form or another, but I have more specific questions about it. Or something that I've read sparked more questions. Sometimes I don't find things in a search, and it's also possible that I did read about something at some point but I've been reading soo much the past week that I forgot about that one detail....for me, it's really *not* about trying to get anything handed down on a plate to me, I'm just trying to prepare myself as much as possible and learn as much as possible. I really appreciate the time others have taken in answering some of my questions and I hope that as I learn more I can help answer other peoples question. I apologize if my threads have really bothered anyone or made me come off as being lazy somehow.
