    When I was new to camming, I didn't have this site to go to, because I didn't know it existed at the time, and I am not sure if the camming thread was even open, because I started camming about 5 years ago. The first site I ever worked was naked.com. The advice and what I learned was from my recruiter. THEN I stumbled on to MFC because of a customer who told me about it on Naked. lol

    As someone who has tried a few different sites, MFC really is a little hard to adjust too, even though I had come from another site, because it's laid out totally different from all of the other sites. MFC has been the best site for me, but maybe for newer models a more basic site might work out until you get really get comfortable, and then go to MFC.

    That would be my advice. Good luck to all the newbies!

    The things is... I understand you are sick of answering the same question, but there's no need to make fun of us like that, I think that's rude.

    Maybe we can work on a solution to this like one girl above said, posting a sticky note that says: "DON'T FORGET TO READ ALL POST". :)
    Search function I'm laying down the law has a sticky so there is the solution

    Well, I read it and I read all older post about the things I needed to know, but you're complaining about newbies asking the same questions so obviously that sticky isn't clear enough... Or maybe the solution is just to have patience or not answer if you're in a bad mood.

    Anyway, I think we all had enough with this subject.

    Hey Everybody....This is where I come in search of clearing my brain. I consider some of ya'll "sisters in crime" of sorts and we have never met. lol....I been reading since August, aaaallllllll the way back to page 1.

    New girls, please read!! At first I was offended by the newbie posts too and scared to comment in fear of asking something ridiculous. But nobody fusses when you say decent comments, they either thank you, read only, or ignore you. Some of these girls are friendly, some informative, some territorial.....but that's ok. Women are just like that, in the real world too.

    It's the holidays, EVERYBODY is grinding! Tensions flare, let's talk about something new please......Like the Challenge! The negativity keeps spreading from thread to thread....AND I NEED MY FRIENDLY GET-AWAY BACK.

    Since english is clearly not your first language, my ADVICE to you would definitely be to talk in your chats and refrain from typing as much as possible...

    As a fellow newbie, I think you are being both quite judgmental and also unfair.

    I love every single frigging member I have seen post on this site since the day I joined. The good, bad and bitchy.

    Everyone of them has ultimately contributed towards the betterment of this entire community. Yes, I may not always approve of their method of communication when expressing those contributions but that doesn't change that the information contained here within Camming Connection has saved my ass a million times: it has stopped me from being scammed, has made me see the humour in my job and it has made me feel less alone.

    What I guess it all comes down too is just because you don't like the tone to how someone answers your question does not invalidate the important of their answers.

    Thank you. I totally agree. It seems like lately, the newbies have felt entitled to the information and demanding. I read a thread by a newbie, and the girl said "the point of this forum is to help new people" when someone told her to use the search. It kind of pissed me off. She should appreciate the information we give her, not yell at us. Anyways, I just had to vent.

    i think the sense of entitlement is what gets me the most.

    i was camming for 9 months before i ever joined stripperweb. by the time i joined i knew the basics of the major sites myself because i did the research myself. i probably posted a few inane threads about stuff like splitcamming and earnings (i went through a period where i was obsessed with what everyone else was making and what everyone else charged). but i'd already done most of the legwork myself. it can be done if you have the motivation and determination to do it - and the fact is, if you don't have the motivation and determination to figure things out for yourself, you won't last in this job. it's not an easy job and it requires a lot of self-discipline, ability to self-start, ability to work alone, etc. i did non-adult self-employment work before i started camming (since i was in high school) and no one was ever there to hold my hand.

    that said, i do answer a lot of the same questions. over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. (i'm pretty sure at least 100+ of my posts are just from writing the same information about daily pay a hundred times.) because i feel like if i can i should help. but yeah, sometimes i get fed up with the fact that people think they are entitled to a guidebook to camming - stuff that it took me a year or longer to learn. i'm not saying i think everyone should have to endure a shitty first year or something...but when most of the information you're asking for is either a)already here or b)stuff that you really have to figure out on your own and that varies from girl to girl, it makes my head hurt. especially when people are ungrateful and demanding about it.

    being self-employed is pretty much always a situation where you have to train yourself, be there for yourself, keep yourself accountable, make mistakes and fix them yourself. it doesn't matter whether it's camming or web design or anything else. you are responsible for you. frequently i see people acting like this isn't a job, like they're wondering why the money isn't just rolling in (without having bothered to try a bunch of different solutions that have already been suggested a hundred times), wondering how they can get around paying taxes, not putting in the hours because they feel entitled to make $30+/hr, etc. this is a job. it's work. grow up and take responsibility.

    edited to add: and honestly i don't think 'the point of this forum is to help new people.' the point of this forum is to serve as a place of support for sex workers. sometimes that means helping new sex workers. sometimes it means bitching about a shitty day. sometimes it means sharing tools to grow your business when you've already been at this for awhile. being a supportive space for sex workers to talk about camming does not mean that we are solely here to help you and hold your hand while you cross the street.

    I wasn't getting nasty with you but I see the attitude on you and trust me this forum is not for you because now ur putting words in my mouth or words in my post. I am the least confrontational person on here so please...

    im a newbie here too
    however
    the search facility on this site is great and id say that for all the most common questions there is an answer , so i can understand most people getting a tad miffed when a newb want someone else to do the legwork for them .
    there are however questions that only you can answer
    how can i get such n such a site to work for me ?
    we only know what works for us , and we found this out through trial and error.. everyone has their own niche . im 40 and work the milf thing , so my advice would be shite to a 20 yr old.

    what hours should i work ?
    again trial and error...
    what your competition at said time , how long can you work . time zones .......
    i could go on .................and on and on ................
    everyone is different what works amazingly for one person bombs for another,
    i honestly dont think anyone here is intentionally mean to a newb .... just a bit weary of the repetiveness .
    Mama told me not to waste my life
    She said spread your wings my little butterfly
    Don't let what they say keep you up at night
    And if they give you shhhh...
    Then they can walk on by

    I'm new to camming and have been on this site (in the stripping area for I guess almost two years). After I started taking an interest in camming I started reading CC and I definitely understand the frustration that a lot of girls have re: new girls starting stupid threads. The same thing happens on Newbie board in stripping. It's like, the same questions get asked and answered so many times it's ridiculous.

    however. There have been a few times that a thread has been started by someone and it is a good question or an honest question. Instead of getting advice (or as well as getting advice sometimes) everyone jumps on and starts telling the girl to use the search function. That happened in a thread a little while ago and a number of girls actually did try to find the thread a member was talking about and we couldn't. So there does come a point where either posting a link to a thread or actually giving advice is useful and appreciated. I think that is forgotten about sometimes since it is easier to roll your eyes and type "SEARCH!"

    there have been times that I have wanted to post a thread but have decided against it because I can just imagine girls bashing me about it. I'm not sure where the line between "okay to ask" and "SEARCH!" is...

    I'm a semi newbie and I think that the reason a lot of redundant questions get asked after the newbie period ends is
    girls are trying to figure out where all their money went.
    Maybe the forum should have a sticky...

    "Hey new girls, want to know why your money has gone down?"

    And one repy then lock it.
    CAMMING IS HARD FUCKING WORK AND THERE IS NO QUICK FIXXX!!

I preffer not to post on that TROLL thread because I don't want to argue like that.

    I do posted a Thread about "SOS Help, having a bad time with MFC" and a lot more, and I feel now very very very sad because now I have the impression that you don't like to help newbies. After posting that thread I read ALL, I mean ALL the older post about MFC but I still couldn't understand MFC and had question, maybe you had an advise specifficaly for someone like me... I didn't know anything. Some of you gave me links of the same posts I read about instead of giving an advise and I understood that there was nothing more, I had to handle from now on just myself and I said "Thanks, I'm sorry, I'm going to read that" just to be polite because I had already read ALL CAMMING THREADS before I posted one thread myself.

    Anyway, I don't want to offend anyone because I know that not all of you are like that (reffering to the ones that not post anoying sarcastic troll comments) so I'm saving what I think about that thread just for me.

    I thought we could discuss about things in a polite manner and this was a really friendly forum because we all have different problems but we can relate anyway because of our job but now I think I was maybe wrong. I'm working everyday a lot of hours daily (between 4-5 hours) because I need to get out of this house soon and I don't have much time to make the money but sometimes I can be online and don't get much money... I'm so stressed that I cry a lot...

    Maybe I'm not pretty enough, maybe I don't know... I still have a lot of questions... But...

    May I ask? I just don't know anymore.


    PD: Oh, and I still go on MFC and after 10 minutes not being tip I run scared U mad?


    While I understand your frustration at this situation, it is MINE AND ARIA'S job to lecture the camgirls when things get out of line. Starting a thread like this is only going to add fuel to the newbie fire. And ask anyone here, I don't like drama. So you got your venting out and I'm closing this thread.
