    Default Had my first day yesterday!

    I've been a lurker on here for quite a while. Finally decided to try out caming! I had a great first day. I was so surprised by how sweet and nice the guys were. I tried out MFC. It's definitely different being on the other side of the camera, than watching other girls. I figured there wouldn't be many people in my room so I just logged in to check things out and figure out how everything worked in the free chat. Boy was I wrong! Within 5 minutes of logging in there were over 100 people in my room and 10 requests for group and all these little blinking lights which I later figured out were private messages. Haha!

    I was so frazzled, I didn't know what I was doing. It was fun though.. hopefully after time i'll figure things out. Thanks for all the tips and pointers ladies! I've been scouring the forums like crazy and had all these ideas in my head on what I was going to do and how I was going to handle my room... and that kind of all went to crap once I logged in. I don't know how the top girls can keep up with it.

    Good job! Go YOU!

    It takes a while to get into the swing of things. The only things you *really* need to keep in mind when you're just starting out are the personal safety/scam-prevention tips (never accept Paypal, don't let personal details slip, etc.). Other than that, just take your time getting comfortable with being on camera. Try to really enjoy yourself and have a fun conversation with the people in your room. The guys who check out the new models aren't expecting insta-pornstars, so it's perfectly okay to be a bit awkward. Really play up the fact that you're new to this; a lot of guys love that!

    Yay! My first week was good too it's because of your new model status. WATCH OUT for scammers and assholes during this period. Guys will do the fake "so and so has tipped you 10000 tokens" or the guys who try to take you under their wing and give you advice... then act like you owe them everything because they gave you (pretty lame) advice during your first week.

    But yeah. Have fun and be weary of assholes during this period

    Welcome! As much as I've loved every career I've had (pro skater, pro skier, my own PR biz--blessed!) I actually love this more! And I feel the same way...my custies treat me like an absolute princess. Once you get your regulars, you are SET! I've found that Streamate is much, much easier and even more respectful--have you tried it? Nothing to lose, right? And this group on SW is so talented in so many ways beyond camming, it impresses me everyday, as well as the acceptance and help you'll find on here.
    Keep going, even during the "bad" days (every job has 'em!), and never hesitate to post and use the live chat!
    Kisses!

    Don't take advice from dudes trying to "advise" you. "I just don't want you to be taken advantage of." YEAH, HMMMMM. With this lovely site, there's no reason to listen to some clown whose "friend is a camgirl too so [he] knows the biz." Just come here.

    Cheers to your first time!

    Hey ladies! Thanks for the tips. I've already created my alias so I think I'm pretty covered as far as personnel details... I'm careful not to reveal anything, I did run into a few people trying to 'take me under their wing' and a bunch of people wanting to do private Skype shows. Is there a valid reason why a person would prefer a Skype show over a true private? One guy was offering a lot of tokens for a 30 minute Skype and it came out to more than the true private but it just seemed weird to me. My hubby doesn't want me to do skype though because he's concerned about the security.

    Katedesire, I'm just waiting for my application to get approved. I thought I would try streamate too.

    Maryxxxjane, By default it's 7 days although premium members can edit their settings to show from 7-30 days. I'm curious if that's 7 days from the day they accept your application... or if it counts each day you go live as a day.

    My second day was bleh. I wasn't sure what I should do. There was an ex cam girl wanting to take me under her wing and she was giving me pointers... but they just didn't seem to be my thing. She told me to put my topic is that I was a bad girl and that daddy should punish me (to get tips)... and then that I should be topless right away. I was also online around 8-10 am so probably not prime time.

    This doesn't sound like an ex cam girl to me or maybe she is an ex camgirl because she followed her own horrid advice. sorry sweets but don't do what "she" says. Granted i do not work token sites but this just sounds shady and freeloadery. glad you say it wasn't your thing. as time goes on i found it much easier to be able to spot the losers. if i were you i would ban them.

    Either way Welcome to the wild world of camming and i wish you much luck and $$$

    I would suggest blocking models from your room. Not everyone agrees with this kinda thing, but....... sometimes they'll give shitty "advice" or poach your custies/visitors.

    Ex camgirl? Sounds shady, like a dude.

    This right here, sounds like a freeloader that gets off on convincing girls to do what he asks. Or a really, really fail camgirl like Lum said.
    Check your inbox. I sent you some links that should help (read the How to Avoid Scams 101 thread asap!)
