    Question Sites where I can get away with lower-quality video?

    Please forgive me if this has been covered before; I couldn't find anything recent.

    I would like to see whether I am cut out for webcamming before I invest money in special equipment for it. Is it realistic to think I can get a feel for whether I can translate my stripper skills into camming using the webcam built into my 3-year-old laptop? Are the customers on some sites more forgiving of a new girl with a mediocre stream than the customers on others?

    So far my plan is to try MFC first (probably Sunday night) because they say on their model sign-up form that a built-in webcam is fine. Should I believe them?

    Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

    My built in HD webcam with my new laptop is crap compared to my Logitech external one. Give it a go, but honestly you are going to earn better with a better camera. On mfc you only have your new girl status for 10 hours and then you have to rely on your camscore to get you by from then on. Tips are crucial in the beginning. If you want to "give it a go" I really really really recommend getting an HD cam. The Logitech HD one I have is only around $80 on amazon.... and its sooo worth it.

    I agree with smaddy , don't waste your new status broadcasting with a built cam. It's very difficult to get a new MFC account in case that things go wrong for you. I've seen some girls doing ok in Chaturbate with bad quality cam , maybe you should work there for a while and get the money for a good cam. I also suggest you to set up an amazon wishlist and include some HD cams.

    I wouldn't start out with MFC, it can be very unforgiving and you don't really get a second chance there. You can use a built-in cam on any site, they're not going to fire you or anything, you'll just make less money. If your problem is just your cam (not your connection speed) the built-in cam will probably be OK for a bit but you'll probably be making less money than you could be. You don't need anything all that fancy--if you can spare the $70 or so for a C920 I'd just do that.

    It's true, MFC is kind of a harsh start for newbies.

    BUT, if you do your research on how to entertain a group, and charge the proper prices, create an amazon wish list with a good webcam on it (make sure link is in your profile), and make sure you're dressing cute, then I think you'll be fine with a built in webcam.

    I started on MFC, brand spanking new with a built in cam, but I had done my research, which is why I think it went well for me. Within the first 3 days, someone had bought me my HD webcam off of my wish list.
    So I spent my first 2 weeks camming with a built in cam until my HD one arrived, and I did very well!
    Now here we are about 6 months into camming, and I accidentally broke my HD one so I'm camming with my built in one again. My stats don't seem to fluctuate with or without one….

    I started out with a netbook, with a built in non-hd webcam.

    I made more money using it.
    I now have a quad core hd built in laptop, which has all the bells and whistles, yet I don't really see any improvement with my earnings.
    For me, it always has been finding the right time frame to work, where I know I'm going to make money.
    I guess the only explanation I can come up with is that guys are watching from all types of devices, so they don't really notice.
    I usually only had 1 guy per shift complain about the crappy quality of my camera. the same guuys always come back when I'm using my hd webcam, yet still don't buy shows.
    I'm talking about MFC, and Streamate.
    If You don't want to risk it, maybe You could try Chaturbate first, because the camera feed quality on that site, always seems grainy to me, when I watch it.

    True, CB would work.
    It's funny I was camming off my Sony Tablet on CB the other night... did not do too shabby, lol.

    ^^ Exactly! I've learned to stop questioning the 'why's' in camming, and just do what has seemed to work on most days.
    Even certain outfits and hairstyles work as well, so,... who really knows.

    The main thing is to just get on cam, no matter what.
