    Default Frustrated

    I did as much research on cammIng as I possibly could and things aren't going as they should. I had to start off in a studio for a number of valid reasons but it became increasingly difficult for me to go in 5 days a week. I'm at the point now where it's a MUST to work from home.

    I had been warned that I'd make less working from home than in studio but this is outrageous! I spent s lot of $$ in gas driving to and from work and there were many times I'd wind up staying at the studio 2 nights at a time just to make the required quotas. There are some that are easily able to make 1k every week but I struggle to make $500 or under. At first I was told that the studio would get 5% of my earnings. I was fine with that. But now I've recently been formed that I'll only get 30%!! If I ever made $1,000) that would only be $350 in my pocket. Will someone please give me links to sites that pay as well as MFC?

    Well, in my opinion as long as you have a good equipment at home, there is nothing that is stopping you. Sincr u are already familiar with camming amd 500$ a werk isnt bad at all if u are gonna work from hope i believe you will be more comfortable and it olny gonna get better as long as u still treat it as a job and put in the hours usually the sites that give u a higher % suck because they have less traffic and they do a chargebacks !!! So if custies credit card didnt get charge because it was full, u wont get paid until the website will charge him, so it can be frustrating, i dont know which website u work for, but lets say streamate i get 30% but they have traffic and i would rather get 30% out of 3000$ rather than 40-50% of 1000$ U should try working from home, if u are already making 500$ a week than it can get better if u put your mind into it

    yeah I'd like to know this too...
    Your totals - You're only getting 30% and the studio Is getting 5% coincides with SMs 35% so that makes me think youre on SM... but you said "sites that pay as good as MFC"..

    Keep in mind that even if you were making 100%, it wouldn't matter if there was no traffic!! (or no paying traffic, anyhow)

    On SM you don't get a huge cut, but there's a shit load of paying customers.

    Making 30% with a studio isn't bad. Yes, your math is right but, for those of us working on SM it's not like you see the total made and then you get 30%. On your earnings page you see exactly what you made. So, really, it's not that bad. There's no place you'd make 100%.

    Thanks Lew. I think I over reacted since I didn't know what to expect on my paycheck with the difference between working from home vs. studio. I was relieved when I saw that my paycheck wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. You're so rIght about being more comfortable from home. At the same time, I miss the complete privacy I had in the studio. However, I can always sounds proof my bedroom once I get a laptop. I don't work for MFC but I read about the payout percentage. I'm glad you informed me about the traffic rate. That would make sense for them to wanna make up for the slowness by paying more.

    Hi, just keep in mind that working at home will increase ur utilities costs, means all equipment starting with new pc, cam, internet, power, lighting set up and all. take these costs into consideration plus the privacy u talked about. in general at studios (i worked in one many years ago) they have top equipment and internet plus being there u need to work the schedule, at home u may work less due to convenience, many girls dont have the needed discipline for that.

    So what site u on? I got confused with the percentages, i know when i was with the studio they paid me a percentage off the money i made, means from the money site paid us (models cut). so lets say a site paid models 50% and from that money i got only 25%, if site pays 35% models get 25% from that 35% and so on. Now i really doubt a studio will keep only 5% of the money u make, i really wish to know that cause here where i am they soo fucking greedy they keep most money and girls never know how much they actually make, atleast that was the case 12 yrs ago sad lol.
