    Mind Blowing My first couple days... Wanna hear? Maybe shoot some feedback my way?

    Hello ladies! Warning, this is long. If your in the mood to evaluate, go at it

    I've been reading for quite some time now, but haven't exactly said much. You are such a wonderful community, and seriously the best possible group resource regarding camming. I feel like it took me forever to feel like I was ready to get on cam, and I finally did do it... not really sure what I think though.

    I'm on MFC for like 5 days. I've been on cam on 3 separate occasions (1-1hr, 2- .5hr, 3- 2hr) over the past few days. First night, I probably averaged about 25 people in my room pretty consistently, had 3-4 stay the entire hour, second night bout the same, and third night (tonight!) managed to keep a good steady 40-50 in my room for a good portion for my third time on cam. So far, I've actually only made $77 = $22/hour.

    Now.. I'm thinking, that's only slightly less than what I made slaving away as an overworked assistant. All I did my first night on cam was wear a comfy flowy tank and cute cheeky panties- no big deal, nice and comfy too, and a few times stood up to show some booty. I think I like, fluffed my titties a few times. Oh wait, how could I forget?! And then, I was asked to do a skype show, and since I was overwhelmed with PMs and such since my settings were not customized at all, figured it was a good time to log off MFC proper but still make some money. So I was paid $20 for 15 minutes to talk to this dude who wanted me to talk about how women are superior to men and tell him how I've dominated men in the past. He was really nice, complimentary, had no issues paying prior to starting, and actually gave me tidbits of really sound advice. It was actually really fun, and I ended up actually talking with him for more like 30 minutes since I hadn't planned on getting back on camera anyway.

    Second night was pretty insignificant. I wasn't really all that into it, and barely made anything - but I didn't deserve it, I just wanted to hang out and get all of my settings up to speed after seeing what my first night brought me. Talked to a few. Got someone on the line for another skype show.. right as he was "about to pay", he disappeared. Didn't see him online until two days later, but when he did come on her told me he disconnected.. uh huuuhhhh Third night, which was tonight, I went all-in. No privates, but I did get off on cam for the first time in my life, haha!

    It was.. interesting. TONS of freeloaders who stayed in the entire nearly 2 hour show, but I still got nearly 1000 tokens. Mostly from people who did it privately or however the hell it didn't show in room. Why do guys do that?? What is the benefit of tipping privately? I feel like maybe that had something to do with why I had a fair amount of freeloaders. As expected from most, I get a lot of compliments -NOT ONE "bb"!!!-, sometimes semi-decent conversation going, and nobody has been mean. I've been told "you're a natural"...but I'm totally not. I have no idea what I am doing. I am great in bed, but damn, this is over a broadcast video feed! This is different. I'm sitting in a room talking to a computer screen. It's... not natural at all. I knew going into this I have a very limited ability or desire, rather, to fake it til I make it. I understand putting on a happy face, but I don't want to put on an overdone persona for this. It has to flow fairly naturally. It's not really natural for me, but it's not excruciating by any means.

    Have any feedback? Is $22/hour, having worked 3 hours pidly or is it "okay" for a very new beginner? I'm very sexually open, just a tad shy without provocation (I actually love when dudes ask questions to give me ideas). Does this sound like a typical first few days? Why do so many guys want Skype shows? (trying to avoid them til I know why) You ladies are so sweet and also straight shooters, and I hope someone will have a word for me

    Thanks in advance!


    Other note: I have a fairly decent set up as far as a nice environment, good lighting, decent HD cam & good sound, toys, fancy purple hair, and do "the basics" for makeup.

    OK, Im not on MFC, but I think that is a site where you have to spend a little more time online when you do get on.

    Also, with every site, you need to build regulars. Be online consistently, work the schedule you have posted, tweet when you will be online. You aren't going to make hundreds of dollars your first time.

    As for the paragraph where you say you have no idea what you are doing... I dont think anyone does when the first start. It takes times to find your "cam self". Once you have a little experience under the table, you will start to be more comfortable, know what you do and dont do (as in terms of whats worth it to you and not money-wise, example, I like anal IRL but i dont do anal on cam because its not worth it to me money-wise). You will learn how to handle the trolls, the beggars, the freeloaders, and all types of paying customers. Maybe you will even develop an online personality. No nothing crazy, but when I get online, Im all of a sudden "on". Im still myself, but I know Im there to make money so I cant mope around or be bitchy or however i might feel that day. No its not natural to be in front of a computer screen, but it IS natural for men to be horny and for us to attract them.

    Be aware though- You are new and scammers can sniff you out from a mile away so always have your guard up. Watch out for people who try to give fake tips (example, like when they type is out: "john just tipped 5 tokens" or whatever. You will get tried, I promise.

    You dont have to put on some over the top persona. Just be yourself. Yes, smile, interact, make jokes, be friendly. Men want to see that you are real anyways.

    Good luck and wer'e here for ya!

    Edit: not sure why many would ask for skype shows on MFC because like i said, i dont work that site. But some men may ask for skype to try to scam you (paying with fake gift cards or trying to be your friend and chat for attention with no intention of paying) or maybe they just want a show and to pay less for it since the show doesnt happen on a camsite that takes a cut.

    The only thing I can read that is a big no no is you stayed on cam an extra 15 minutes just "because you weren't going back online anyways"
    Never give them that much free time, than they will get used to that, also if they are enjoying their time with you they will pay for extra time.
    Other than that you are doing great for your first time =) Just stick with longer hours and you'll get the hang of everything else.
    Just no free time! lolol

    Hey! I just started again this week after a six month hiatus, so I'm new again. I consider myself at point zero. So I can tell you about my first week and see if we can learn from each other, yes? we'll find the kozy light together, lol.

    I started out on SM and I worked two long shifts and two short ones. I've generally received a lot of gold in tips comparatively --in CB you could ask for tips for requests till you turned blue, and they still demanded and never tipped. In SM practically everyone I told: 'I'd love to show you my ass darling, I'll do it for a tip' sent me the tip I asked for.
    On the downside, I did not get a lot of privates and that's no good on SM. :/ I don't know if it was just slow hours --my hours are kind of odd, or just that I'm more of an acquired taste, lol.

    Chatting and the general tone of the customers is SO MUCH BETTER than on Chaturbate.

    How are the people in MFC? I kind of like the whole camshow for tokens, and I wish I had the energy, but CB trolls drained me and they were bullies! I know beggers abound more in token sites, but I wonder if they're better behaved in other places?

    Sounds like you're off to a good start! I didn't find this forum until after I started camming, so you're already off to a better start than I was!

    $22/hour sounds about normal to me. That's what I made when I first started on MFC. You're probably already aware of this from reading threads on here, but you can't ever rely on making a certain amount per hour. I found this to be especially true on free chat sites like MFC. So if you have a $0 day, don't let it destroy your confidence - it happens to all of us. And when you have a $$$$$ day, don't spend it all!

    Guys ask for skype shows for a lot of different reasons. Usually it's freeloaders, or guys who want to pay pennies for a show. Occasionally, you'll find a guy who wants to use skype because it's higher quality video or they want to do taboo fetishes. Just make sure you get paid up front (preferably through MFC or another legitimate cam site/payment processor) before you ever go off site and you should be fine.
