    Default My First Night of Camming SUCKED

    I started camming last night on MFC.. I sat in the room wayyyy to long... I know this cause my cam score actually went down... ooopsss.. The guys new I was new & they definitely tried to take advantage of that.. even though I was clearly not letting them.. Everytime I posted I will take my top off they said it was to high and left.. one guy suggested i start my price to take my top off at 20tkns.. that just didnt even sound right.. i watched other girls on mfc for a month before actually getting on.. I tried to mimic or do some of the same things they were doing.. I have a pole I incorporated that.. but all I got all night was if I had had tckns i would tip you but I dont, and i dont get paid...blah blah blah.. Then the same guys would sit in my room for hours.. then other guys would come in & just watch I would try to talk to them nothing.. they would sit there for half hour or so then leave.. oh cant forget the godly amounts of hey want to come to cali i own a porn company.. I was dancing around, talking, smiling... I was wearing a cute outfit.. It was a camming failure! I have read many many many forums on camming.. errrr frustration!!.. anyone else have similar experiences & still camming???

    Well in my opinion you picked one of the worst sites to start out on.

    I will never understand why models choose to start there. Seems rare for a new host to make money on MFC and even experienced hosts find it's hit or miss.

    For most takes a long while to get a following there and personally I need steady money. Earning potential there is good once you do have a lot of fans but I could never afford all that time to build them up because I have bills to pay that won't wait.

    Yes, I did horribly on MFC. I wasn't even a new cam girl when I started there, I'd already been on SM for several months. It happens. I've since picked sites that are a better fit for me and I'm still camming as my (pretty much) sole income more than two years after my awful MFC experience.

    For the record, sometimes MFC just doesn't pick up for certain girls. Like me. I tried on there for almost a year before I finally threw in the towel and realized that trying on there just isn't worth my time when I could actually be camming elsewhere and making money. I didn't know much about cam score when I started and mine dropped, so I got worse placement and fewer paying members in my room. Bills got tight so I ended up taking Skype shows for off-site payment, which is the WORST thing you can do for your cam score. Because even when I made $20 for a 10 minute skype, maybe it helped me to pay a bill but to MFC it looked like I made $0 all that time since I wasn't accepting tokens, which lowered my cam score even more, made it harder to get paying traffic, etc. etc. I've learned since then, but I've also learned that for me, I personally prefer not having to deal with cam scores and several hundred models online at once.

    You might have just had a bad night, it may pick up for you. My advice is to read everything you can about how to raise your cam score/prevent it from dropping, so next time you log on your can improve or at least preserve your current placement and have a decent shot at getting some guys in your room who are willing to spend.

    Yup that's what happens on MFC when you are new. Fortunately, there IS hope! As the other girls stated, MFC is hit or miss for many models. MFC is my main site but I started out on SM for a month before. I wish I would have learned more about MFC before I transitioned. It's good and bad having the new model tag. You will get a bunch of guys looking for a free show or try all the bs with you. Please read as much as you can in this forum and I hope you read the main MFC thread. You can learn good comebacks for lame comments, freeloaders and timewasters. Sometimes a good comeback can get you a nice tip from another member. Own your room and don't be afraid to BAN guys that try to trick you or hang out forever. Mute basics and guests ALWAYS or they will drive you nuts.
    It might be good to sign up for another camsite while you perfect your hustle and cam persona. But since you started on MFC, keep up with it it you want to survive there! Good luck!

    I could understand it if the guy tipped 20 tokens for a quick flash of your tits, but if he meants 20 tokens TOTAL in order for you to get and STAY topless for the rest of your shift...he's an idiot. That's $1 in your pocket. I used to have a topless countdown of 500 tokens, and then when that was completed I started a 500 token countdown for panties off. But a lot of models with higher cam scores (mine is only 1200+) have topless countdowns of 1,000 tokens and higher. Lately I haven't really been putting topless goals in my room topic anymore, because I hated how the tipping would suddenly stop as soon as I got topless/naked. So instead, I've just been doing 50 tokens per flash.

    Beware of guys on there telling you "Maybe if you just get naked, the tokens will come." They're full of shit, and they're taking advantage of you being a new model...and they just wanna see some tits and ass for free without spending a dime.

    I love MFC, however it is a not a good site for first-time cam models to start out on...partly because of the whole cam score thing. You can read more about MyFreeCams in some of the other threads on here. A good site to start out on would be Streamate. It has good traffic, and you can cam for as long as you want without having to worry about a cam score. There are threads on here about Streamate too.

    Keep in mind, majority of the girls who post on StripperWeb started on these cam sites 1 year, 2 years, 5+ years ago when competition was next to nothing, so they drove their placement to the top fast & easily and have maintained it since. There are a million more girls camming now than there used to be, it can cause you to get lost in the sea of cam girls.

    Truth!

    I switched my main free chat site 3.5 months ago and even though I am earning what I need to it is slow going to get up to a consistent hourly that I would like. It doesn't matter that I have been camming for almost 3 years, when you start a new site you are starting from scratch and it really can take a little bit to earn a 'good" amount, no matter how much experience or inexperience you have.

    Well I feel a little better all is not at loss.. the reason I am on mfc is because they dont require you to print & sign anything.. sm does & unfortunately i cant find my cord to my printer.. & fortunately I do have other income & I am not relying of camming for my sole income.. I will get back on mfc tonight.. i am determined I will get on for at least a month before I give up lol.. but tonight I am going to ban all the time wasters that i didn't last night.. i blocked guests and basic but let stupid guys talk my ear off for free.. i need to treat it like im at the club if your not paying your not staying.. lol .. thanks for encouraging words..

    There you go girl! If you don't have regulars thats what you need to do. If you were at the club you wouldn't do anything beyond talking a few minutes if you aren't getting paid, so why let them get away with it online?

    Maybe work MFC for shorter stretches. Have you thought of trying to split cam? I found that sometimes that can help you utilize every minute you're on there. And if I have a room full of non tippers I don't feel bad for ignoring them too.

    Search the forum! Don't stop at page one or 2 of the threads, sometimes the really helpful ones just haven't been bumped in a few days an fall back to page 3 or 4. There are specific threads just for each site and then tips for best working the sites too. They can help steer you in the right direction! No matter what, just keep swimming!

    I work days for my timezone, and that seems to make all the difference for me. I worked nights twice and it was a total failure. I do between 12-3PM my time and in this time I usually make around 100, 50 at the minimum. This was my starting site (I did it before I knew it was a bad idea). I'm starting to have a little following so that's definitely helping. PROMOTE! Twitter has really helped me out a lot! Some great advice gingerstripper gave me was to fix my profile up. That REALLY seemed to help my traffic! Lighting and your speeds really matter also!

    And really, I don't worry about my camscore. When I was obsessing it kept dropping. I had a good day and it went up 200 points. Just relax and have fun! The guys notice the difference! Good luck!!! =)

    I agree MFC is probably the worst for a newbie to start on, but if you apply your stripper skills to camming, a lot of the same concepts that work in the club also work online. No freebies, don't put up with bullshit, don't let the losers crowd the place up or waste your time, make it fun (games are good ways to get the tip ball rolling, especially if you can come up with your own unique thing) and just relax. Like stripping, it takes some time to perfect your cam hustle and build clientele, so don't expect to make a lot right off the bat.

    Also, make offers. Most guys need some sort of incentive to crack the wallets open. Maybe announce you'll do a shower show in group, or whatever, to encourage people to take you to group or private. When I did MFC I did pretty well with the group thing by making a certain type of show my "group thing" for that day, and I got a fair number of privates by strictly making some things private only. That way the guys who really wanted a specific thing had to take me private to get it.

    As for your printer problem - you can go to a copy/fax/mail store and get what you need printed/copied on the cheap, or just get a new printer cord for maybe $20. I'd do that so I wouldn't be limited to one camsite. I think that limiting yourself in that way is a huge mistake, especially when you're new.

    MFC can be brutal for a newbie. I know it's frustrating when things don't turn out as you expect. I would recommend trying Streamate. Give yourself credits for being brave enough to get on cam and always remember it gets better if you want it too
