    Default Is this considered a good amount for what I do?

    Hi everyone,

    Im a model on mfc, my camscore has been stuck at the 3800 mark for awhile (I figure it should be higher for what I make but whatever haha) I make about $8000 + a month and im a model that only stays online for about 4 hours a day and I dont do shows, I just hang out and do a naked countdown while selling my videos.

    Is this considered a good amount for what I do? I cant imagine what the models make with there camscores at 20000 like (edit) etc... If my camscore is as low as it is and making over $8000 a month. (I know saying how much i make is personal but Im curious if its average for my score or what or if I should try different things to get it where it should be at is all)

    ^^^ I'd say that pushing $100,000 per year of gross income based on 4 hours per day of effort and a 'mid-range' camscore constitutes doing very well !!! Obviously, producing and selling videos helps increase income ( something I discovered a decade ago ) !


    I cant imagine what the models make with there camscores at 20000
    There may not be as much correlation between camscore and actual earnings ( per hour, anyhow ) as you think !!! 'Conversion Rate' and/or customer entered ratings aren't necessarily the same as total customer money spent ( per hour )

    On the other hand, without being too specific, I can verify that a couple of particular top rated camgirls' earnings are WAY ( and I do mean WAY !!! ) higher than $100k per year.

    Seriously anyone who is making over $3,000 a month and coming in here complaining or questioning if what they are making is good money needs their heads examined.

    For what you are doing and what you are getting you should be ecstatically happy about it.

    $8,000 a month - its not being rude it just that I don't make that much would kill if I could and that is enough money for me to be debt free, travel all the time, and have my cats rolling in cash.

    it makes me wonder how high are your expenses to be thinking that $8,000 isn't enough or that you are really greedy.

    Anything that you enjoy doing and are making any kind of money you should be happy about. A good amount to me may not be the same for you. As long as you are happy with your earnings no one else's should matter

    Also 8,000 is a shit ton of money, I would be ecstatic with that.

    ^^^^ LOL, I don't think she was saying it wasn't enough $$ for her. It appears her question was is that a good amount compared with her cam score. In other words... Do any of you ladies make more with a lower or higher score? Do the two seem to match?
    It's a good question sweetie OP, sadly I have not much experience with MFC to answer for you, but on SM I would get VERY happy with that amount. You're doing really well, and I'm sure you put on a great show. Just stat consistent, and the boys will keep following you.

    Side note... coool your jets OP. Breath, don't let comments bring you to the itch with a B word. Nothing is worth that.

    Minnie does work hard and has many streams of income. But camming or anything in the adult industry is not a guaranteed gold mine. Some days a top earner can pull in peanuts and the next day rake in serious cash. So really no one can gauge earnings.

    Thanks hun, I do and it's probably why I was asked to be a mod.

    As for how much I work hard to pay off my debt. Well that is being chipped away daily. and camming might be my full-time income, but not my only income I also have to manage my business for being an escort and that in itself is a whole lot of stress.

    But if you are going to say you are making more then $3,000 and wonder if that is enough money yes you do have to question your views about money and your spending lifestyle.

    IT always boils down to dollars and not some website stat record, I remember when cams.com had their top model page and I made it on there I earned $750 that pay period at the time and it got me the last spot on the top model page. it boost my business because ti created a marketing plot of having people think I am a top model.

    Now I am the face of the ebony banner for streamate - people probably assume I am a top model because I am on their banner. and reality is being the face on that banner doesn't change my income at all.

    OP, I think you should be a little cautious about starting threads that might look like they only exist to brag about your earnings. If you wanted to know the typical earnings for a camgirl working those hours, you could have searched or asked without disclosing your own income. Nobody can possibly know what you mean by "Is x a good amount?" What does "good amount" mean? Compared to what? You're making less than many girls and more than many others. That's all anyone could ever tell you, and what other girls are making isn't something that should concern you anyway. You're making a lot of money - enjoy it, try to learn how to make more if you like, and don't worry about some girl you don't know who's making even more.

    That's just plain insulting, though... If someone wants to make $8k, should they be called greedy? Or just freaking hard workers who make the $$$ that suits them? Isn't that essentially the dream, here?! If anyone is earning huge amounts they like, more power to them, I say.

    Too many people are scared of rolling in money as though mega earnings are something to be ashamed of, and then complain when they're broke!

    No need for name calling.
    The good and the bad about this industry is that "working hard" doesn't always equate to lots of money

    Anyways Id like to point out I am "greedy" I ALWAYS want to make more and so should you. In this industry the sky is the limit and the money might not always be there so work as much as you can, make as much as you can and save save save.


    As far as the girls in the top 20 on MFC....they make A LOT.. I read on one forum to stay in the top 20 you need to make 20,000 tokens every day of that month which is $1000 a day! That's just to stay in the top 20 at the bottom not the top. That was a while ago though so now it could be much more. Also a lot of the girls in the top 20 have their own websites plus there is no telling what they get from offsite gifts in cash and gift cards.

    It doesn't matter what is considered "great" in the adult industry. What YOU consider to be good income is all that matters.

    To make it in this industry, you have to be confident about what you're doing and what you're making. Is it working for you? If it is, then you should delete this post because you answered your own question.

    So we're allowed to mention other models by name now? Just wondering.

    Serena, girl...stop playing! LOL. I think you know that $8,000/month camming is great. You should've posted in the 'Camming ROCKS because...' thread.

    And, out of curiosity, what if some model in this thread was actually silly enough to say to you "No, that's not a good amount for what you do?" You would've told her she's crazy...right? What other models think really shouldn't matter anyway. Everybody has different opinions about what's "good" and "bad" when it comes to camming earnings.

    Wanting more that 8k a month doesn't make you greedy. If you can make that get it. I'm not making 8k/month yet, but I sure as hell will not call someone greedy who is making that much and once more. You can never have too, much money IMO.

    PS This is why one shouldn't post their total earnings.

    gotta echo the chicas above, let's keep this classy

    to the OP, props for not being content to settle for your (initial) status quo. if I felt complacent with my earnings when I first started out I never would have achieved the level of success to which I was able to push through, so props for wanting to push yourself further. Personally I'm never satisfied with my earnings, I'm always trying to keep one step ahead to boost each quarter upwards. I don't see why wanting to maximize potential should be perceived as greed.

    your initial success on mfc is pretty extraordinary (mfc is a notoriously tricky site for both new and seasoned cam chicas), so keep incorporating and testing strategies, building upon each new level of success as you achieve it. YOU determine how much $$$ you can make; camming outcomes are intensely unique and each of us writes our own ticket, so to speak.

    good luck and may your earnings keep on growing. enough with the cursing though, that has no place here

    I call bullshit on the OP, it's a troll thread. I do not believe for one instance a new model on MFC that doesn't do any public shows makes $8000 a month hanging out and selling video's. The problem with not using cam names on here is anyone can post anything and be full of shit. There's no way to verify it.
