    Angry My first cam session sucked!

    I've been doing search queries pertaining to certain words like "newbie" "discouraged" "first cam show" etc. I've been a lurker here for years. I finally got the courage to do the cam girl thing after hearing so many times from friends that I'd make a ton of money doing it. I am not new to camming sexily but I am new to doing it for money.

    I didn't think I'd make much on my first show and boy was I right. I cammed for 2 hours on CB and made 25 cents. Following the rules of not showing much without tips, conversing, encouraging guys to tip to see more. I started my goal out low- 150 tokens. I have large breasts so I know the guys would have been happy to see the bra come off.

    Within minutes, I came across a guy wanting to a Mistress, a guy offering me an Amazon card for domming him, a guy wanting to PM (I had no idea how to handle that yet), a moocher who finally admitted after an hour he didn't have any tokens to chip in. Luckily I haven't come across a rude person.....yet. The highest amount of viewers was 13 at one time. I steadily kept about 6 of them entertained to stick around. I did come out of it with 22 followers. Every bit counts.

    This sounds so pathetic and discouraging- especially compared to many of you. I'm not even motivated to do another show today. Any words of encouragement for a newbie to get back out there and finish what she started?

    Welcome to camming and welcome to SW! Don't worry about this, you started out on a token site and those are literally the hardest to hack it on. Try out a private based site like Streamate or Flirt4free or cams.com. Even try MFC, guys love tipping new girls there.

    My first shift was a disaster, I made about $21 but made so many mistakes and gave so much free stuff. It also takes a loooong time to start seeing the big figures. Pick a site, pick a hustle and work consistently and work A LOT. Like 40+ hour weeks when you are new til you start seeing money that you like.

    For most of us on this board the start was rocky, but don't give up. It gets better and you also get used to it as well. Camming is a bit overwhelming starting out, but you can do it keep reading this board as well, its a wealth of info.

    Looking into MFC now. There are so many cam sites to choose from and everyone has their preferences here. After looking up MFC it seems to have more options and I like the community/socializing aspect of it. I always pictured myself as an exotic dancer who would enjoy having my own little stage with several people tipping me as I go. Is the verification process like CB? Does it take a while to get verified?

    CB is a nightmare when you have new model status, it's not like other sites for some reason. Maybe contact support to see if they can remove new model status. I did much better on CB when that status finally came off my profile.

    Also, don't go by how you do on just one site. Try others, that's the great thing about camming, you'll eventually find your niche if you keep trying. You can only fail if you quit.

    This gig takes a huge amount of patience and persistence to be successful at and I think a common misconception for a lot of people that haven't done it is that all you have to do is sit around and look cute and guys will just throw money at you. It's not that easy!

    Dip your toes in the pool and try other sites (check out MFC, it's also a token-based site similar to CB. I don't work token sites anymore but I started camming on MFC and made waaaay more $$ than I ever did trying to work CB) and read the shit out of this forum because it's filled with info. Good luck!
