    Dizzy Token Cam Sites and SM

    Just started camming and I'm completely lost. I set my goals on token sites low and I can't get guys to tip. How do you girls do it? I'm shy, so coming up with things to talk about is tough. And I don't want to start my show in free chat completely nude to get attention but nothing is working for me. I try to get them to tip for flashes or nude or toys and nothing. And SM, idk what to do there either. Guys log in then off almost immediately. And takes forever to get someone in the chatroom. I've been researching on the forum for weeks and I'm still lost. Help!!!

    You haven’t really given that many details so the reason why you’re not making much money could be due to a number of things. Is your internet speed fair? Do you have a good webcam? (Most cam girls use the Logitech C920 – I use it and highly recommend it.) Is your lighting good? (No shadows, not dull.) Do you talk to guys or type? Guys on MFC prefer girls who talk. If you play music, could it be too loud? Do you play on your phone? If I’m watching other girls and they pull out their phones, their viewers decrease instantly and drastically. Do you stick around for long enough? It can sometimes take me over 2 hours to make anything on MFC so its worth pulling AT LEAST a 4+ hour shift.

    You did mention that you are shy, may I ask why you wanted to do this work as being shy could be one of the reasons you're not doing so well. The thing about most guys on MFC is they prefer girls who are bubbly, smiley, friendly and can hold a conversation. You can’t just sit there staring at the monitor looking awkward and bored. If they see you are shy, they might not be convinced you'll have the confidence to take your clothes off or do a cum show at the end of a count down, so why should they contribute? I tend to be shy and socially awkward outside of the interwebs, but on the interwebs I just pretend to be an extroverted chatty princess. I guess I faked it until I made it. If anything, MFC has given me more confidence in my day to day life. You will have to find a way to overcome the shyness.

    I cannot speak for SM as I found the same thing when I signed up there a couple of months ago. No one even staying in the room. It's a very different site to when I first cammed there a few years back when it was VERY busy. MFC is a different kettle of fish entirely. I wouldn't try to hard to have goals or play big tipping games at first. You need to get on, be yourself (shy is fine), always have in your topic that you have things for sale (vids, snapchat, flashes etc), have lots Of options for sales on your actual profile (they DO read it honest!), and then wait. You'll need to build a fan base there for the first couple of weeks before you start really making any decent money or being able to play the tip games and goals. If you need money NOW try another pay per min site alongside mfc x

    I have that exact webcam. It's got nothing to do with the room set up or Internet speed. I'm not glued to my phone and I don't play music. I haven't started on Mfc yet due to lack of success on cam4 and chaturbate. I figured I could use those sites as practice site.

    I don't know what the guys want exactly. If I talk and try to have a conversation they don't tip, if I try to be sexy and get nude and they don't tip. So I'm sitting here like wtf do you want then!?!?!?

    I'm not overly shy, I just don't really know what to do on camera besides a toy show. I'm doing this because I need the money. Dancing and escorting aren't paying the bills right now and having 2 kids and a boyfriend in college limits my work schedule. I only need $1500 a week and it's been nearly impossible to achieve between these 3 jobs.

    I wouldn't ever use any token site as practise - more like the other way around x

    Record yourself during free chat and take a look. Maybe you have RBF syndrome...Resting Bitch Face. Check camera angles and find the ones most flattering to you. Check lighting, the majority of top models have great lighting. It also helps a lot if you look like you don't need money, your background, accessories, reflect who you are and even though men don't really notice details they do appreciate overall aesthetics.

    Work on attitude and selling. If you constantly think about money NOT coming in, it shows up on your face and overall attitude. Money comes much easier when you don't need it. It also comes when you are genuinely enjoying yourself. There must be some aspects of sex work that you enjoy...if not then perhaps it is not the right path for you. The fact that you have also tried escorting and stripping can attest to that. That being said, on MFC, it really helps if you set goals and countdowns and have things to sell like vids and pic sets. Games, raffles and charging for flashes etc. Have good, clear topics. Use interactive toys. Remind the guys every so often that you have vid and pic sets and where you are in your goals for the day.

    Also, read, "Ho Tactics" and watch motivational speakers and LOA vids on Youtube. Read the MFC and SM threads and check out the other forums like WeCamGirls and AmberCutie.

    Lol I definitely don't have RBF. I'm always smiling but it's hard to enjoy being in chat on SM when there's no one to talk too. Escorting and dancing used to be good money, but due to LE issues in my area, I don't feel comfortable advertising like I used too and the strip clubs I've tried so far aren't very black girl friendly.

    Honestly, I do not like sex work anymore. I used to, but it's draining the life out of me. More hours and more effort for less money these days. I unfortunately can't go back to vanilla work unless I get something that pays 6 grand a month. My bills are too high to work for minimum wage again.

    As far as reading books and watching videos, been there, done that. I'm on WeCamGirls and have checked out AmberCutie as well as the threads on sw. As I stated before, I've been researching for weeks lol I thought I was ready to go and then I started to broadcast and it's been a pain ever since.

    I think I really just don't know how to entertain them. When you're in free chat, how do you get the guys excited and ready to tip?

    Make them feel important/special/relevant.

    "Oooh, dingaling3, you're sooooo right! George Clooney clearly was the best Batman!"

    "You're such a flirt, xboxgamr666! I bet you say that to all of the girls!"

    "Manrawrthegreat, you make some really good points about global economics- are you a professor or something?"

    Sometimes I'll throw topics out there and encourage the guys to contribute to a group discussion.

    So, you know, conversation. Riff off of them or take the lead. There's a limit to how many guys will rise to "wanna dance?" bait, which is why the SW goddesses invented Hustle Hut.

    Don't give away the dirty talk, but do answer the non-sexual questions. I wear big headphones on cam and I get asked what I'm listening to quite frequently. Then I get to talk about my passion for indie rap, and the guy gets to feel like he's the center of the universe for a couple of seconds.

    Or... Find your own thing? No one's thing is guaranteed universal. Doing something that interests you whilst on cam is the best way to keep looking interested/interesting, but what interests you is going to be different from what interests anyone else.
