    Default Used to cam and make decent $, but I made $20 tonight...WTF

    I used to cam, and I was able to earn $200+ a night in a short amount of time without doing much of anything.

    Don't know what happened. I was on recently for a much longer time and made less than $30. Is that just how it goes sometimes???

    I've been waiting for a while to start camming again. I made a bit of a risk/gamble setting up internet and purchasing a new computer since I otherwise couldn't afford to do that.

    I'm really worried this won't work out. This has been my master plan for a while.

    What else can I do? My existing persona I feel like, isn't the charge to friend me type or the contests for my underwear type either. I've never yet masterbated on camera or gotten naked.

    Although, now, I'm willing to do just about whatever it takes to keep a roof over my head and my baby's head. I don't really see anything wrong with it. I just want to make sure I don't expose myself on camera for the first time ever for free! How do I make sure I will earn more that way?

    I am a fulltime student/mom and need money badly. Willing to do whatever it takes. Just don't know where to start. Almost no one tipped me tonight. Maybe it's my self-esteem that's taken a recent hit?

    read all the threads, research and do everything that they tell you to do. Put in the time and work your ass off. If you try hard enough (and smart enough) the money will come.

    I am just wondering if I do everything everyone else is doing, will that mess up my pre-existing persona? I got 3 or 4 regulars back tonight that were good tippers and only ONE of them tipped me tonight, and it wasn't very much (on my end, I probably put a hole in his pocket). Should I just start adding one element at a time, like charging for photo album views and all that good stuff?

    Sadly, it is hard times all over. The only thing I can suggest is trying all the tricks and tips you can find in the forums when it comes to camming until you find a combination that works right for you. I can't speak for anyone else, but it is what I've been personally doing while I cross my fingers that this slow time will eventually pass.

    yeah times are hard...I don't understand the minds of men, what makes them horny or not. I also get really camera shy. It makes me act foolish, clumpsy, mix up words, nervous acting. I am 100% sure the guys pick up on it.

    If you don't want to work for free, get off MFC.

    Yep as SarahTime says, look at the other popular sites out there. I find I have to work a lot harder these days to make the same as I was 4 years ago, but it is still possible. Maybe look into other streams of income too? Passive income springs to mind. In other words don't put all your eggs in one basket, there are many many ways to make your money these days, diversify, work at more than one thing. No you don't have to do what all the other ladies are doing, I don't, I do my own thing. There are lots of guys out there and even though we sometimes label them as all the same, they aren't, they are all into different things and you will pick up more regulars in time. Don't forget, even though you did cam in the past, you have had quite a long break so technically you are the new girl on the block, could be the guys don't know you well enough yet, give it time.

    Biggest piece of advice, if you are going to expose yourself on cam, DO NOT DO IT IN FREE PREVIEW! or you will not earn, save the nudity for paid shows only, think about it, who's gonna pay to see something they can see for free? I know a lot of girls do it but copying will not help you.

    Except for a very few hosts who hit it big, that site sucks royally.
    If it works for you, more power to you, but for me personally I totally object to the whole tipping mentality.

    It really really puzzles me why new hosts often seem to start at MFC! It's the worst place for a new host to start in my opinon.

    Fuck tips and all sites that base their feeds on getting paid by tipping! It's just a way for guys to be cheap. I will still work tipping sites but if they want to tip me during or after a private, fine.

    I'm not doing anything at all for tips any more in free chat.

    TY!! I feel the same damn way. I started MFC in Jan. My cam score tipped over like maybe 2500 or so. I was new. Now it's like 920 or something. And just like most have said in the several threads once your "new" status is gone..thats it. And I'm not ganna lie, I tried to give a free anal show just to see. I was new and didn't know any better. I seen all the top gals showing so I figured thats what I needed to to do to make tips. Um.....Did NOT work. I was doing anal for about 30 min in cam and got like 10tks for it. FUCK MFC.

    Another note: anyone know how to link my SM profile on my sig here instead of MFC? I'd much rather have that instead but I have geo block on. I can't figure out how to get my link.... =)
