    Default How do you know if a cam site is working for you?

    Quoting someone else (not sure who), MFC is a strange beast! I know that on MFC it takes time to establish yourself and building up regulars is key. But how do I know if it's working for me? I've seen countless times where someone has said they worked for 5 hours and made $5, and they get told to try a different site. But how do I know if it really works for me when I get mixed results. One day I can make 20-30 and hr. and then the next 2 days I could make 0 or $5 (for like 2 or 3 hours). Is this typical?

    Sorry, I feel a little dumb asking this question! lol

    Well it depends on how long your working a site. if your just only working it a week you haven't really giving it a real try. I always sugges trying out a site for a 1 to 3 months it really depends

    Well after you have been on there a while and put the effort in look at your earnings on that site as a whole, compare it to other sites you have tried and then how much you actually like working on/using the site then you have your answer. Remember your always going to have good and bad days, thats just the business... anyone that says they never had a few $5 days is probably a liar!
    Also even when you ave found a site that work for you theres no harm in checking out other sites as you never know when a site is going to go down hill!

    I know it's working for me if I make a good amount of cash. I don't always expect to earn the same as I do on my main site, because it takes time to build up to that if you're not familiar with a site and haven't got your hustle down yet. But I do expect to make more than say $30 which is about a quarter of my hourly average elsewhere. If I'm not making that after my 2nd or 3rd time on the site, I move on. I might go back and try that site out again at a later date. But one bit of advice.. if you do find a site that works for you, ("working for you" could mean making you the cash you want, or just being happy with the customers on there etc), then stick with it and milk it for all you can. No sense in jumping around sites when one can often fulfill all your needs

    Experiment with different sites and then compare, and compare your earnings to your goals.

    Like Minnie said, give it a few months to see - there is no point making a decision on a site after working a couple of nights! And make sure that you are working as much as you intend to over those months. If you plan to work 30 hours a week, then work those 30 hours! Don't judge a site on one or two random nights worked.

    Figure out what you need to make, and then see if you are making it. That's really all I can suggest. Its also worth bearing in mind that if you really need a regular income, you may be better off on a site where you make a little less, but have more consistent nights. If you are happier making an amount per month and don't care when it comes through to you, go for the one you make more.

    And most importantly - go for the one you feel happiest and most comfortable on. If you hate coming up with games and ways to keep your room exciting, then maybe MFC isn't for you, even if you make ok money. Its not worth working and being miserable!! Find a site that you enjoy, and that you make your targets at. Its that simple.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    Great question! I agree with the pps that you should work consistenly for a couple months before really judging it. And this is why I think it would also be a good idea to be on more than one camming site, gives you a better idea as to how one compares to the others. How their traffic is, quality of customers, what they offer their hosts in terms of percentage/promotions, if one has all those things down better than the other sites....theres your winner. But ultimately what your priorities are there are up to you. Goodluck!

    This is from a spiritual aspect, but if you read the book, The Alchemist, by Paul Coelho, you know that he mentions this thing called beginner's luck. This works for me, maybe not everyone, so say if i try a site, and within the first couple of nights i do well but then I may have a slow period afterwards, Ill continue to stick it out, because I know its a sign fromt the universe that I will eventually do well if im patient. This has worked for me on sites suchs MFC naked etc, now with streamate that was my first site I started on it took me a month to make any decent money but yet I stuck with it because I was too scared to try any others and I thought that my introverted and honestly just lazy personality wouldnt do well with other sites, well Streamate has been consistent in money except for this past month (WTF!) but I always had to work HARD on it to bank vs the other sites (which I had beginners luck with) I easily make way more than I would on SM in less time sometimes within 2 hours which is great bc Im a mommy of toddler twins. I said it before in another thread Im glad I stuck it out on MFC after my first good day then horrible week after bc that site is sooo easy to make money in such a short period even though I never get tipped in free chat lol. Anyways Im rambling now my points are try a whole bunch of sites, (I wish I would have done that in the beginning) and whichever ones flows smoothly with little effort on your part is probably the one for you

    Lusty hit the nail on the head. If you're having an awesome day, stick around longer and milk it! It'll offset the crappy days..and MFC can be very hit or miss.

    The way I figure it, the first 3-6 months of camming are trying different sites, deciding what works and doesn't in terms of your show, and social networking.

    I can't thank you all enough! I have to say that MFC is my favorite site of all. I can be showering or getting ready for bed and all I can think about is what I'm going to do next on cam, or what can I come up with?!. haha. I never understood what people meant about the hustle on MFC til' now.....and let me say, I feel myself hustling!

    I'm trying to get myself to realize that if I have a slow couple of hours to log off and get back on later on. Sure there will be days I'll completely log off, but I don't want to get in the habbit of saying fuck today, I'll try tomorrow. Otherwise I'll make nooo money.

    *** Oh and I loved the comment about working hard! Soooo true!

    "How do you know if a cam site is working for you?"

    Here's how: You make good money on the site without undercharging or doing things you aren't comfortable with. It takes time to build up regulars yes, but you should still be making good money on average, in general. If not, on to the next site.

    I have camming A.D.D. If I am not making money I move onto the next. Would not waste 2 to 3 hours of my time NOT making money & entertaining freeloaders. I can be doing marketing, making clips for my C4S or camming on a different network. Guys who sit in your room for that amount of time just writing compliments don't give a fuck about you.

    I do NOT waste time on NOT making money.
    Time is MONEY! I know I am worth the money.
    I have so many things I need to learn & study.
    There is always marketing to be done.
    Why waste time when NOT earning an income.

    This is a business.
    If you are not earning, then you need to be learning how to up your game. Whether it be more marketing or being the best you can be on cam.

    Smooches,
