    Do you have any other source of income beside camming? I know that helps tremendously with stress and the pressure of you having to make money on cam. I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Do you have the necessary tools to do well such as good lighting, high speed internet, hd cam, etc?

    You need to know your assets, and by the looks of it, you don't. Knowing your niche/s, and capitalizing in on your niche/s is a big part of what makes you successful. You should know that being a virgin is a BIG FAT selling point, and that you don't is concerning.

    Having said this, many ladies - even those who are more well-established in camming - are finding the summer slump a struggle. I think clip-selling might help you get to grips with your selling points and help you financially over the summer whilst you become adjusted to this gig.

    @ Marina - I want you to be my personal counselor/life coach. You dish up the truth, lady.

    @OP - Yes to what JAC said. I'd be churning out the virgin clips for C4S if I were you.

    I wouldn't "give up."
    It's better to make 10 bucks then 0 bucks, eh?
    Investing in a good webcam is definitely a good start. Logitech c910 goes for around 70 bucks on amazon, and you WILL get better traffic.

    But I must say, your mom doesn't know?
    I hope she doesn't do your taxes, because, well, you'll have a bunch of explaining to do if she does.

    I wouldn't have started with MFC. Chaturbate is a good practice for MFC. You must understand that though many people say that camscore doesn't matter, it does. It helps your traffic. It helps your placement.
    If you're pulling 8 hour shifts and barely bringing in 30 bucks, that's the reason your camscore dropped so quickly.

    Being a virgin has nothing to do with how well you perform on cam.
    How well you perform, how well your connection/camera is, your setting, lighting, hygiene, and your attitude are what contribute to making some decent money.
    (Seems a bit intimidating, but they are all things to think about.)

    Maybe check out Streamate and Chaturbate more if your camscore is in the 200's.
    I honestly wouldn't bother with MFC if I went below 1500.

    Good luck to you darling! It's stressful and hard work. If you put your mind to it, you can come out successful. You never know

    You've got some great advice in this thread. The only thing that I would add is that camming is tough work, and it's all based on personality. You have to figure out what personality works for you.

    Here's the starting place for cam girls thread. You should DEFINITELY read it:
    https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...-For-Cam-Girls

    Once you've read it and the threads coming off of it, go "perv" (watch politely but borderline obsessively) other cam girls. Concentrate on the ones in the top few rows on your favorite sites, the sites you want to be a top girl on. See what they do. Find some whom you like and think about what it is that you like about her. There are some girls I like, one is super bubbly and happy all the time, one is goofy and sexy both at once, and one is amused-ly borderline disdainful of the guys who come into her room. Now. I can't copy something that isn't me, and it's tacky to copy anyway, so I just ramp up on the stuff that I see is successful and that I've already got in me. So. I'm not a bubbly person, so scratch that, but I'm totally goofy and nerdy, and sometimes I want to tell all these fucking idiots to go pound sand. From what I've seen from girls I've perved, I know that I can do any and all of that and still do well. So I do. And I do alright.

    I have been camming for 4 months and I have a regular job so I don't have to stress about finances. I also agree and would not start out on MFC. My first and main site is Streammate, I feel like it would be a great place for you to start. You can get used of taking privates and since you cannot show your pussy in free chat or cum shows you wont feel as pressured to do something you are uncomfortable with. Chaturbate was my second site- I think this month has been stupid slow and its not just me so relax and sign up w/ 1 or 2 more sites. I even think after four months of camming and signing up to MFC I should have waited. Although after my new period my camscore DROPPED really low and I honestly was going to GIVE up on MFC.. I said "FUCK u camscore" and as soon as i did I have been doing pretty awesome- getting regulars I have managed to get it to almost 1100!!! SO i do believe you can increase it just stick it out!! TOTALLY use your virgin card btw guys will LOVE that! good luck!!!

    I haven't seen you work so I don't know your hustle but from reading what you wrote, maybe you're too nice? Sometimes if they don't talk, you gotta get them to talk! If they are in your room, silence is not an option! Assertiveness do go a long way!

    The CB guys are notoriously cheap from what I have noticed. I have been online there 2-3 times, but fully dressed and of course this means no significant traffic in the room, my profile would end up in the very last rows of the page. It's not like they were not talking to me, but it would not convert into $. Just small tips here and there, the grey members very demanding and entitled to getting stuff for free, the blue members having like 1 usd in the account just enough to stay blue. Those are my impressions.

    Can we have some time periods? $5/10/120 in how long? With how many hours? $10 a MONTH? (Which is how I read that) or $10 an HOUR? $120 a week? It's really hard to get a good idea of how you are doing with figure out of context...How long have you been camming? How many hours a week/day are you putting in? How regular are your hours? What do you WANT to be making?

    Bear in mind that it will take some time to get used to it - you say that your camscore went from the 700s to 200 in three days - was that three days consecutively? If that is indicative of how much it has been dropping, that sounds like you have only been on there for a week or two...

    In any case - here is my advice. Research, plan, execute, evaluate.

    1. Do as much research as you physically can. Watch, read, think, consider. Write yourself up a schedule, a plan for marketing, a plan for games/goldshows/hours/etc.
    2. Figure out what you need to make, and how long you are willing to give it before you need to get another job. I personally think that a month is a reasonable amount of time, but it will depend on your financial situation.
    3. Work your plan. No excuses. Keep researching, keep tweaking (keyword - TWEAKING - don't go madly different, but alter lighting, outfits, etc within reason as you learn more. Try new games or approaches. Don't alter your hours TOO much after the first week or so, or you will find it harder to build regulars).
    4. Assess. After four weeks (or however long you give yourself), look at how you did. Did you make the money you wanted? If no, were you close? If not, are you increasing your earnings week-to-week? If it continues that way, will you be making enough soon eough to survive on it? Don't just look at money, but also look at the rest of your life around camming. Were you able to stick to your schedule, or did you feel like you were flailing and struggling? Did you feel like you enjoyed it and were happy, or were you miserable? How did it feel working from home? Were you lonely, or did you enjoy the solitude?

    Take a serious stock of things.

    And then..well, if you aren't happy, or you aren't making the money you need to be...stop. We LOVE to encourage new girls here, but at the same time, this isn't for everyone, and there is no reason to plug away for months and months on end to make peanuts, if you would be happier and better off working as a bartender somewhere! You need to be able to make money and be happy - it doesn't sound like you are either right now.

    Good luck!

    I also struggled a lot the both times I started camming. The first time was last year, the second time was march this year. This second time I decided to try clips. First I signed up for ELM and it was good, at least much better than camming. Then I started C4S and now I'm finally starting to do better. It took me some time and I still think I can do better than that. On C4S you can do lots of fetishes, which have nothing to do with sex. I'm not camming anymore, I just don't enjoy it. I suppose it's not the same for you, but you can still give it a try at the clips making.
