    Default MFC for dummies?

    Girls i dont get it, so im on sm and i like it, but when its slow i want another site to work on, so i tried mfc and its just weird, i put up a countdown for topless and get maybe 50tk in an hour, sometimes a group but most the time they just talk and dont tip, i interact with all of them, im cheerful, dance around but wtf lol, i dont know how else to get them to tip me! i understand this site takes time to build regulars but i just feel like i dont know the right hustle for this site. any tips would be great, i want to do good on mfc but for now i just log on for small bits at a time.

    Halliwell, have you already read the MFC thread here? http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...reeCams-Thread Maybe it already contains some useful information.

    I am also new there, haven't begun camming there yet, so we're on the same boat.
    What are other girls strategies here? Care to share? =)

    Rule #1 of camming: No one can tell you what to do or how to make money.

    We can give guides, hints, tips, tricks, and bend over backward trying to help, but it will in no way guarantee that you will succeed. Many girls are more than happy to try and catch you online to give pointers, but really it is all up to you. Camming is all about YOUR unique hustle, what works for YOU, and who YOU are. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. (Basically we can give you all the help in the world, but that doesn't mean it will actually help you.)

    There are many girls on this site very successful at MFC with only the help in the MFC thread, what they can find on the board, and their own research.

    Eventually you're just going to have to try and figure it out for yourself if the tips here aren't helping you. Be prepared to do TONS of research, try, and sometimes fail. You just have to keep on trying or change your career path.

    That being said, MFC is a difficult beast to tame. If you're unhappy with your results there, you may want to try a pay per minute site such as SM, Cams.com, ImLive, webcams.com, LJ, AW, or any of the other pay per minute sites.

    There is also chaturbate which is another tip based site.

    mfc is fucked up like that!
    Its more about your personality on there, and how you can interact with a crowd of 'fans' per se.
    If you want to make it work, I would log on as often as you can, every day if you can.

    This is so damn true. It took me a year to stop doing things the way other people told me to do them and learn to follow my gut. Now I'm doing better than I ever have. Just mess around until you find something that feels right and when it comes, you'll know it.

    Haliwell,

    First of, how long have you been on MFC? I personally didn't make much until 2 months and a half in, when I took the leap to cam more regularly on there. With that said, yes, it takes a lot of time and a lot of effort to make a decent amount on MFC. If you aren't prepared for a lot of interaction with needy men who usually just want to talk in free chat, then MFC is probably not suited for you.

    At least from what I've observed, MFC caters a lot to guys who prefer a friend/girlfriend experience. Most of the guys who go on there want to get to know the girl and dear lord are they chatty! Privates don't come around as often as I would imagine that they do in SM, as there are a lot of girls that do things in free chat. You will also find yourself with a lot of lurkers and freeloaders. I personally don't kick them out because they increase my traffic, thus attracting more people into my room. There are many different ways to make money on MFC, so there is no "what you are doing right" and "what you are doing wrong" boundaries. Some things that don't work for me work for other girls and vice versa. Trial and error is the best way to go.

    Like it's been said, read the MFC thread, it'll give you some insight on what MFC is like from different perspectives.

    I really feel you on this one. I was pretty optimistic about MFC, and so when it was dead for me on SM last night I decided I should take the plunge and log on. Fuck, it was overwhelming. I may be too much of an introvert to handle MFC right now; my hustle on SM is to start up a conversation thread and keep it going in the bounciest and wittiest way I can, and then I'll suddenly get whisked away to private by someone who might have just been lurking but decided he liked my personality and wanted to get me alone. It works well for me. On MFC I felt like I was getting pelted by monkeys with peanuts.

    I know I haven't given it a lot of time, but it's so different and contrary to the way I like to do things that I'm just not sure I'll go back...
    Someday I'll get this Twitter thing right.

    Rule #2 of camming: the only guarantee is that if you do not log on, you will not make money. Persistence/consistency is key.

    mfc is like that hun. its a playground for unemployed losers whose lives involve eating,sleeping & watching mfc all day long every day. when u log off, they dont care they go to the next girl, and most likely are watching 10 girls at the same time. they wait for the 1 who show is starting, watch it, move on. they dont have any intention of tipping. only a few guys tip and that is because they have fell in love with the model and arent broke losers. these guys are rare. for the majority of models these days mfc is a waste of time. i am currently working adultwork, i have my cam set to paid view only (NO FREECHAT) if i only get 1 guy an hour join my room and do a 5 minute show on adultwork, i still made as much money as i made on mfc in 1 hour but for 95% less work (not having to entertain for an entire hour for a few measley tips)

    I like MFC so far. I am never going to be a Top 20 girl, but I'm developing a great base of regulars. I noticed that when I try the things in the MFC thread, I don't do well - I do best just being myself and flirty. I think a lot of times people forget to be FLIRTY, we just become pre-occupied with countdowns/camscores/contests/privates/looking hot/etc. I find that when I flirt with people and make them feel special, they return, and they devote more time to me.
    xoxo

    Thats great you flirt with them and they PAY you! But I spent 2years flirting and ended up with 1000000000000compliments and bunch of obsessed broke guys who thought we were best friends. being TOO nice will get you walked all over, people need to concentrate on countdowns ect ------ unless u r there for jollies and dont care about paying ur gas bill with compliments and E-Hugs.

    EXACTLY!!!! i felt like i was at a zoo and people were just walking by me hanging out around my area making comments lol i prefer sm definitely but i will try mfc an hour or so each day i just dont think i will ever do a "free chat" dildo show id prefer to do that in a group show or private, i just dont like the thought of a bunch of freeloaders that didnt tip at all get to see my goods.
    thank you all for your kind replies i guess i just need to find a method that works or find a guy that loves me a showers me in tokens lol

    I totally agree that being too nice gets you walked over. I'm just learning to find a decent balance. I have one never-paying regular who tried to monopolize my time after I gave him a little too much attention due to him being mildly entertaining, and I had to ask him to back off. I'm not rolling in dough or anything but I just noticed that when I flirted more and pretty much acted like my normal self rather than trying to just do the things I read about, I had better results! :xoxoxox

    MFC always sucks for me. I don't give it much time so I get the payout like once a month lmao I have ONE paying regular there who is amazing and if it wasn't for him I would drop that site so quick my neighbors down stairs would probably call the cops. I usually tell him what I need to make payout and he tips it. On top of that though, he never wants anything but attention in return.
    I get tips here and there but it's way too much traffic for such LITTLE amounts of tips. I wish they would do some kind of token promo to give all the freeloaders an excuse to get some tokens and get a taste of the "power" (for lack of a better word) it gives them.

    Default Re: MFC for dummies?

    I treat MFC like going to a casino.

    I only invest so much of my time (an hour) unless the tips are rolling in. There are days there that I have made $300 in a hour which is more than I've ever made on SM per hour.

    But most days I will be lucky to walk out of there with 10 tokens to my name. It is all the luck of the draw.

    Since I never spend more than an hour on the site it never begrudge the money I am not making.
