    Default I can't do this

    This is my first week camming on MFC and it is all so overwhelming. I desperately need the money (young child, student loans, car payment, etc..) I have a part time job and cannot find other work to make ends meet. I smile and try to start conversation with them to liven up the room but unless Im butt naked with a dildo like the other new models the room is dead. Just guys barking at me to take my bra off with next to nothing tips. I might make 20 dollars in a night and thats if Im on for hours. I dont know any fun games or countdowns to get things going and Im afraid Im going to set my prices too high.

    Is this your first time camming? SM is generally considered easier for new comers

    MFC is an awesome site, however it's a terrible site for brand new cam girls to start out on.

    Like tattooed_fox said, a different site might be better for you to start out with, such as Streamate. Also, camming isn't as easy as it may look. I know you said that you desperately need the money, but I just want you to realize what you're getting into. Be sure to read through some of the threads on here such as Starting Place for Cam Girls, The MyFreeCams Thread, The Streamate Thread, etc. Good luck.

    I've thought about camming for the past few weeks and have been digging around the threads, the tips have been really helpful and it's nice to know that other girls have struggled as well. I dont expect to be one of the top girls but I feel like there's something I'm missing or doing wrong.

    I can't make a dime on MFC and I never advise any new cam hosts to go there. Worst site ever for a beginner and in my case worst site ever for me even with years of successfully supporting myself with camming.

    I can count on a couple hundred a day from SM if I work all day, sometimes in just a few hours.

    I will never understand why new hosts go to MFC.

    IA with what the other girls have said. Try SM, it's more of a personal experience so you don't have to deal with all those guys at once. Camming can be so hard at times, especially when you really need the money. It's easier said than done but try to relax and have fun. Guys are (hopefully) paying you to put them in a good mood and it can be really overwhelming and stressful if you're not in a good mood yourself. This thread has some really helpful tips for that:

    DEFINITELY try SM. The payout is awful and that can get frustrating, but I was making literally $10 or less per 4 hours on MFC, and I switched to SM and am averaging about $500/week working 3.5 hour shifts. Get on SM, figure out your hustle, and then try token sites if you feel comfortable. I was super opposed to SM at first but its been good to me....for the most part.

    MFC is hard because you TRULY have to have a "hustle" and unfortunately, some girls just don't quite have the hustle mentality, myself included. I tried MFC, and it just was NOT for me. If you want to do a token based site, I'd suggest trying Chaturbate, but honestly, Streamate is probably the best place for new cam girls. Personally, I started out on imLive (don't recommend that, the chargebacks are a fuckin bitch) but either way, a private based site is easier to get used to than a site like MFC. I just now after a couple years feel like I want to try a more public, token based site, because you have to be COMFORTABLE camming before you can entertain an audience. I still prefer one on one interactions (such as exclusive on SM), so I'd also advise to try there. MFC is, as previously mentioned, NOT the best site to start on. LOTS of competition and on SM, the men seem to want to find one unique girl that fits their fantasy, and more often than you'd think, it's you! (At least for me, I never thought guys would pay that much to see me, now I KNOW they will pay and it can be truly rewarding!) You can do it. Don't give up. It's a learning experience, and a couple years in, I'm still learning new things every single day. You're not alone, and if something isn't working for you, always remember, it can't hurt to change it up. When I have a slow shift, I go change my clothes, it does seem to help more often than not! Remember: Men like what they can't have, so do we, right? Make yourself less accessible, but still polite. I've found the less I give away for free, the more they want to see what I have. Good luck!

    Men can feel desperate. Some love feeding off of it. No matter what you have going on in your private life it can't affect the confidence & sexiness you need to emote on cam or camera.
    Pick your favorite sexy kitten movie star & fake their sexy confidence until you get your own. You know fake it till you make it.
    You are letting your personal issues get in the way, these men don't care if you have kids or bills to pay. There are tons of predators looking for girls who admit that crap just so they can rip them off or use them cheaply. This isn't the story you want out there or even the one playing in your head.

    MFC is a hardcore hustle site, there is big money to be made on it. Sounds like you need to get your game face on & except no prisoners. It isn't their job to GIVE you money, it is your job to convert freeloaders into paying high rollers. Camming is about upping your game each and every single time you log on.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    I echo the others above. MFC is a terrible first site to work on. Unless you have the time to put into it (during which you are highly unlikely to make any decent money), you will just waste your new girl status and your time, and you will end up hating the site.

    If you need money quickly try one of the other popular sites mentioned on here that are not so free chat based.

    Also, work on appearing happy, calm, and confident, regardless of the panic you're feeling inside. Whatever site you're on guys can smell desperation. It comes accross in everything you do. I recommend simply smiling.. even if you don't feel like it. Smile, flirt, and watch the money roll in.. that will cheer you up

    Count me as another who can't make anything on MFC. It's an entirely different beast to the private based sites like SM and Adultwork. I keep thinking I'll try going back to MFC, but honestly, I make enough on my other sites that it usually comes back to a choice between working them and making ££, or working MFC and making fuck all!

    Thank you girls for being so helpful, I've slept on it and feel less paniced. I never mention in chat that I have a child, I want to keep those two worlds seperate. I only assume that they can tell by the way my body looks but they never bring it up and neither do I. I installed a better cam this morning and will try to give it another go couldnt hurt, and I will continue to look into SM because it really does sound more suited for me. Once again, you all have been great I really appreciate it.

    I agree with the ladies. Token sites can be very tough, especially when first starting out and need to make money now.
    Go with a site where you can set your price per minute for a private session. Set it high, and be happy on cam. Sit tall, pretty, sexy and confident! also, what you offer deliver! After that first time, start mixing it up with clothes, hair, wigs etc. It only gets better. Confidence however is the biggest seller however to any Cam Performer.
    That to me was a great start to the Cam World.
    Good luck.

    I will also say MFC is a mind fuck- I would 100 percent say start w/ Streammate. I started there and still am there pretty much for most my week since MFC is a hit or miss. I also have been camming 6 months and I think I should have waited maybe a year for MFC. Good luck!!!

    I'd say forget MFC altogether and go with Streamate. SO much easier, esp. for new cam girls. I'm getting back into the game, but when I first started out, I made $100 in a matter of hours. Streamate is just easier to use in terms of camming and getting guys to take you private/excl, and we all know that's where you make the money. Stay strong!

    Try another cam site. SM might work for you, cams.com might work, etc. Just depends upon what site you like.

    I've been on MFC four times. The last time I got zero tokens in 4 hours. I thought I was doing something wrong.

    I just signed up for SM tonight.

    You're not the only one. Good luck, mama.

    I joined Vivid--granted, it is a studio, and connected to SM, but I get 30% and I'm earning what I think is good pay (average $750/week for about 25/30 hours). I really love my "agent" who is there for me 24/7 when I couldn't figure out some tech stuff on my new camera, etc. It's been a fantastic new girl way to feel supported. Plus, finding this site has been my other source of strength.
    I'm in the same boat: single mom, no support/child care, on and on....but this is working out well for me, hope it will for you, too!

    Oh Sexy, I really had no intent, honestly! I'm just a newbie, and was trying to find my way around--and felt lucky that I found something I was happy with since I was so daunted by the other ways. I'm so sorry--I'm certainly far from any kind of a rep/agent/sales person and get NO referral money or credit for writing that!

    OP, you could do the exact same thing WITHOUT "Vivid" (Studio) This forum is better than any "agent" there for you 24/7 we are here for you 25/7....lol. (I know there aren't 25 hours in a day lol...but for real I think you catch my drift).... There is nothing a studio can do for you that you cannot find on this forum, and this forum doesn't take any of your earnings!!!!! Point is sign up directly through SM... Good luck! and remember you CAN do this

    Directly sign up for streamate at streamatemodels.com

    I quit MFC because I never made any money on there. Like others have said, it's a very tough site to start out on, and not making money on there doesn't mean you're a bad camgirl or anything. I think part of it is luck-if you don't get high tippers before your new model status goes away, your camscore will go down and it will be tougher for guys to find you. A lot of guys just click on the girls in the first few rows. Another site may be a better fit. Good luck!

    I Started on mfc. i think the reason most girls start on mfc is because its the first one you see a girl bank on. you dont see girls earnings on SM cause shes in private. but if u watch mfc and some girl gets a 1000token tip it makes u wanna go there. you should never be butt naked with a dildo if you aint finished a countdown. thats probably where u r going wrong.
