    Question My first time camming on MFC. Am I doing it right?

    So I started out on MFC last night. I made about $100, got a private, and seemingly made some friends. I muted the basics and guests (they were quite rude) but overall the people seemed fun and nice. I usually had 30 visitors in my room tops (unless I was doing a show, in which I had more than a hundred.)

    It's my first time camming for a big websites, and though I understand a lot of things about camming are objective, I'd love to hear some personal experiences in response to some questions I have about MFC. Any advice, suggestions, or personal stories at all would be hugely appreciated!

    So now some questions:
    My camscore went up to 1130.7 after the first night, but tonight it dropped to 1115.9. What makes a camscore drop/raise. Is there a trick to making it "work"?
    How can I post my amazon wishlist on mfc (or am I not allowed to do that?)
    I also signed up for Xpeeps, LiveJasmin, and Streamate, but I haven't heard back from them. I signed up on Thursday. Does it normally take this long? I checked my account on Streamate, but it still says "pending" or whatnot.
    Is it true about tip sites being "marathons"? I get on at the same time each night, but should I be working longer hours (like at least four at one time?)
    What times of day do you find you get the most traffic in your room?
    Am I earning a good amount for just starting? Sometimes I cam from 8-12, or even 8-2, but I still only make $100 (if I'm lucky.)
    What did you earn from MFC when you first started?
    How long did it take you to build up clientel/regulars?
    My goal goal is to eventually make $260 a day. Is that a reasonable goal?
    I'm trying desperately to keep my room exciting, but I usually just end up having conversations with everyone, or dancing to fun music. Any suggestions for contests or games? I was thinking something involving twister, or Jenga, or something, but I have no idea how to mix camming/tipping in there, haha.

    Tip sites are definitely marathons, not sprints! Just keep at it, and be veeeeeeeery consistent. That's the key.

    And don't pay attention to your cam score. It's a total mind fuck chickadee.

    Thanks so much for the information and the link. I am new here and while I am slowly working my way through the main MFC thread, I was just hoping to get some personal model responses. It's good to hear that $100 is considered good for a beginner. My second night wasn't as great but maybe by tomorrow it will pick up. I realized that last night when my camscore went down. I think I am going to stick just to being online each night for about two hours and if the tips aren't coming in at all, maybe only staying an hour? There's a lot of experimentation but hopefully I'll figure it all out.

    Dont bother playing games.. Twister.. Jenga.. Hangman.. all that bollocks. The guys just dont care, you might see 1 girl doing it and the guys really interacting and having a blast, but she's probably been there years and has loads of friends. Guys won't give a shit to sit and watch you play Jenga if they don't know who u r. Its also a waste of time and effort because u r not there to entertain for free. If guys see u entertaining for free, they will come back the next day for more free entertainment and overtime will try to be your friend, But they won't give u a dime because u never ask for any. There are 1000s guys on MFC that simply log on to get FREE entertainment, most of them are guys who are sat at work in the office and have your cam open in the background with the headphones in just listening. (Its like when u r doing the ironing and u put the TV on in the background, u dont pay attention much to the TV, it is just a noise that comforts u). If you become like this amazing fun entertaining playing games always cherry girl, you'll have a following of 200 freeloading, broke ass losers, who want to be your FRIEND. If you want to attract the paying guys, do nothing until they tip u for it, simple as. Of course you may not want to listen to me and go ahead and see if it works for you anyway, and of course u never know.. it might. But I experienced it firsthand when I joined mfc over 1 year ago and it took me 6 months to realise these guys were never going to pay me. I kind of liken it to street busking. The lady sits with her guitar putting in heart and soul to her music... do u ever tip her? Probably not, but if she showed up with the guitar and a sign saying $2 for a song, you might just give her the $2 because you feel u will please the woman and the 100 people walking by and u feel good about urself and walk away a happy person. But why will u give her the $2 if she is already playing? Perhaps because u had some spare change and u wanted to do something nice, but the other 100 people in the street won't bother, because shes already playing the music and its free.

    pokemonesb, thanks so much for this thread! You asked ALL of the questions I have been wanting to ask too! I have been poring over these forums for weeks now trying to learn as much as I can about camming (particularly MFC) and I've been having a hard time filtering the information to answer these specific questions. So I appreciate you putting them out there, and I hope people keep addressing them! Thanks again to you and the people taking the time to help! x

    My camscore went up to 1130.7 after the first night, but tonight it dropped to 1115.9. What makes a camscore drop/raise. Is there a trick to making it "work"?

    Camscore is a tricky thing. There is no 'tried and true' formula to making it work because MFC refuses to say what they factor in. There are lots of informative threads on this forum about it, if you do some digging.

    How can I post my amazon wishlist on mfc (or am I not allowed to do that?)


    loveshooks has gotten this one covered.

    I also signed up for Xpeeps, LiveJasmin, and Streamate, but I haven't heard back from them. I signed up on Thursday. Does it normally take this long? I checked my account on Streamate, but it still says "pending" or whatnot.

    Yes, this is normal. This sites take much longer than MFC to process paperwork.

    Is it true about tip sites being "marathons"? I get on at the same time each night, but should I be working longer hours (like at least four at one time?)

    I find personally that it doesn't matter when I get on, but it does take longer hours to make the same amount of money that I make on Streamate. It also is less mentally taxing for me in some ways so it all evens out.

    What times of day do you find you get the most traffic in your room?

    There is no 'perfect' traffic time. Even if there was, you can have a dumptruck full of traffic and it doesn't mean anyone is actually paying.

    Am I earning a good amount for just starting? Sometimes I cam from 8-12, or even 8-2, but I still only make $100 (if I'm lucky.)

    If you are happy with it, then it is a good amount. Camming waxes and wanes. Some days you make bank and somedays you make $0. Hopefully it all evens out in the middle. You will also naturally earn more money the more experience you have.

    What did you earn from MFC when you first started?

    A couple thousand tokens I think.

    How long did it take you to build up clientel/regulars?


    I am still new, so I am still building. My personal guess from what I read it is that it takes at least a year.

    My goal is to eventually make $260 a day. Is that a reasonable goal?

    In how many hours? I am unable to tell you if it is reasonable if I don't know the amount of hours you plan to work.

    I'm trying desperately to keep my room exciting, but I usually just end up having conversations with everyone, or dancing to fun music. Any suggestions for contests or games? I was thinking something involving twister, or Jenga, or something, but I have no idea how to mix camming/tipping in there, haha.

    There are LOTS of posts on these topics if you go digging for them. Way to much information for me to post about here.
