Advice for new models

[TaylorMarie_56]

Thanks so much for sharing all this wonderful information. Once I am verified, I will be practically living on this site for a while until I feel prepared to officially start camming. You ladies rock

Good luck!

How do i become premium on mfc?

How do i become premium on mfc?

Sign up as a member and buy tokens. You may have to email them and let them know you're also a model on the site as they tend to limit token purchases on what they think are duplicate accounts.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the help here!!

I tried to buy tokens as a model and it wont let me. Was i supposed to buy tokens and then become a model?

You need to have two separate accounts! Log out of your model account, go to the MFC homepage, click "create a free account" and choose a new username for your premium account. Then once you have that account you can buy tokens!

(I'd suggest picking a username that doesn't emphasize that you're a model or including your model name - something kind of subtle so you aren't drawing attention to yourself as a girl when you're perving rooms! )

The first part I said was "sign up as a member" lol. Can't buy tokens on a model acct.

 

[RiyaGenesis]

Thank you for this! I made an account on MFC a few years ago and chickened out, but wanting to get back into it. I know this is an older thread, but there are lots of good suggestions in here. Thanks everyone

 

[LeonaLix69]

Thank you thank you THANK you for this post
I've only been doing this for less than 2 weeks but I'm thrilled with everything I have learned in such a short time. We need to.
I think learning the scams (skype, do X then I tip, etc) was a huge step for me, and then just booting people out if the start that crap.

 

[EroticAthena]

Thanks for the advice. I am planning on starting w/ chaturbate to get my feet wet and then move to mfc once I feel comfortable. Today was the business side buying up domains (more so no one else can use my name to re-direct traffic and get the basic social media stuff.

 

[DollyMoth]

Thanks for the awesome guide! I've been reading constantly on here. I can't wait to get verified model stat so I can read even more!

 

[Rebel_Wood]

Such a useful thread! I just lost my new model status about 2 days ago and the drop is so disheartening, but I'm still seeing familiar faces in my room whenever I log in so thats definitely a plus!

 

[Rebel_Wood]

So I was just lurking cams and saw a girl fully nude bending over with a tampon string hanging out, she then tried to 'discreetly' tuck it in, failed, and then had to try and tuck it again. My advice, check yourself in the mirror before every show, especially if you're on your period!

That's the string you pull to make her talk

Oh god haha
I actually really applaud her for continuing and not being fazed by it!

Oooooh which is another piece of advice (even though I'm new I'm ex stripper and I feel like this applies to both!)
Everyone does embarassing things, try not to let it bother you, and laugh it off if you can.

 

[LadyJusticeTM]

Thank you so much for posting this! I know it was years ago, but I am thankful to have stumbled upon it today.

 

[Auroragreene]

So I'm just getting started and have put in my profile that I'm non nude, but am wondering if there's a better term for "I'll take all my clothes off but will be covering my nipples and vagina unless it's a private show in which case I may give peeks." Is that already essentially what non nude means??

Maybe a non-nude tease model? And just make sure to note somewhere what you do in your private shows so people know they may only get a peak, not the full shebang.

Haha my headline is exactly that. It's "non nude tease." I think explicitly stating what I will do in private though is a good idea. Thank you!!!

 

[Lil Iva]

Hola I am newbie. Just started MFC, was first hour today,but that was so dissapointing - with having a new model status and 1000 camscore for start I got average 13-15 people in my room and almost silence(without saying that got any token). Ok, I realize what is mfc.. but need a little help.. if anybody could be so nice and has got a few sec to jump in my chatroom and tell me about the quality of my image and if there is sound.. I ve got poor internet connection so maybe I ve got horrible image while streaming so that is not worth watching.. and that is not worth to waste my time on trying broadcast at mfc at all As I could not receive that overwie from guests in my room try to ask here for that, I would be very pleasant

 

[camille_]

Super helpful! Just what Ive been spending hours looking for online!!!! Thank you!!

 

[Cindy]

This thread is amazing for us girls to help each other xxxx

 

[BiancaHermosa]

wowowowow YES to all of this/... its a real job and it needs to be taken seriously. I personaly joined mfc at first like lets say 2 years ago and didnt quite get it at all so I just bailed and kept my career as a stripper going (wich I loved). Now I am in a place where I cant dance so I gave caming another shot and I finally realize that I only didnt get mfc the first timw bcs I didnt take it seriously enough to actually engage in REAL conversations with my custies and all I was was some hot chick shaking my butt and doing flashes hahaha x.x !!! now I see that the more you actually act like a real person and actually have fun and just RELAX is the more money you can make. Never make it look like you NEED to be on the site, just enjoy yourself but also treat it like a real job and commit to it and to your awesome custies YAY

 

[ANA_K]

If you don't want to do something, don't do it. You don't owe anyone an explanation. If you're going to be a new model, you're about to enter the troll and hustler pit. Prepare yourself.

One thing I didn't know when I started is MFC limits the amount of tokens members can purchase. Just a helpful bit of info. That guy you think is freeloading could tip you big tomorrow.

As always, even with camming, never let anyone destroy your dreams. Keep a positive attitude and your eyes on the horizon. The climb may be slow but you will get there. You never know when that big tipper will enter your room & put you where you think you deserve to be. You are going to make tons of friends and the camming anxiety will fade. Not to mention, you're going to develop awesome public speaking skills.

 

[noemik]

Ah... it's been so long since I've been on this forum. (Maybe my post doesn't belong here, sorry). Hi everyone! I might start with camming all over again (or might not...) I know I have one or more stalkers in my country, I've had them for like 4 years now but I guess they just wanna make fun of me... they're ''trolls'' lol Anyway I have all my heart on this new beginning, I have support from my family which is AMAZING and well... what I really wanted to ask (sorry!!!) is what email do you use? I know hotmail is completely unsafe so when it comes to security what email do you guys use? THANK YOU!

 

[Kitt3NextDoor]

I am seeing more and more often lately that ladies who do not have verified model status are coming to ACF looking for help. While there are guides and resources in the model's section totalling hundreds of thousands of words, this isn't very useful for someone who has to wait a few days to see them. In an industry where many newcomers are hoping to make cash in just a day or two, this is hardly helpful. So I thought I would put together a new guide in the public section with some handy info!

There are a lot of links in this post to model's only posts for further reference, but hopefully it will still be helpful to people without MO status.

If any of you ladies ever get verified model status, there is a lot of new info to comb through. If you want to expand your cam knowledge, I believe these are the best threads to start with, in order of importance:

New Model Mistakes (a thread where models share their past mistakes)
Camgirl Success Troubleshooting (help with everything from getting members to come to your room to pre-cam anxiety, earning tokens, doing better privates, and more; a great place to start)
MFC Camscore Info (if you want to cam on MFC, you need to read this)
Coming up with show ideas (a crash-course guide in thinking up show ideas, mostly for ladies on MFC but useful on any site)

As this is a public forum, I am going to predict that in the comments, there will be a lot of people who disagree with a lot of what I share. From the rules that are enforced to how hard a model has to work to make good money, people are going to disagree and cite proof to the contrary (whether or not they have cammed a day in their lives ). However, it would be silly to try and write a guide to the exceptions of commonality. I believe that this guide is accurate for the majority of new models.

For new MFC models:

If you are planning on camming on MFC, you NEED to understand how the camscore system works. I do not believe MFC is a good site for beginner models, which I argue in this post. If you are interested in camming as a career and want to take a more serious approach, I would highly recommend you get experience on a website like Chaturbate before you make the switch to MFC.

MyFreeCams FAQ:

What is the camscore and why is it important?
Camscore is the default ranking system for all models on MFC. In the webcam sex industry, default ranking is extremely important. It does not guarantee minimum earnings, but it is a great predictor of how much traffic a model will get - which she can then translate in to earnings (read the model's only stickied post on "being realistic about what a high camscore will get you"). Basically, camscore is how many you tokens you earn per hour, over a sixty day average. The more tokens you earn per hour, the higher your camscore will be. What other models on the website make influences how many tokens per hour you need to maintain a camscore of 1000. Nothing else contributes to your camscore. Ratings/admires do not count. Friends list adds do not count. Small tips do not lower your camscore. Offline tips do not help your camscore "more" except by improving your token/hour ratio.

How long does New Model status last and why is it important?
New Model status (NMS) is a short period of time where new models on MFC are listed with a bright yellow tag on their avatars. Typically, new models receive a great deal more traffic than they normally would. It is commonly considered that NMS is critical to make or break your camming career, and if you waste that time, you will have a more difficult experience on MFC. Many models are surprised and upset when their NMS wears off and suddenly, instead of 100 people in their room they are seeing 5.

New Model status on MFC used to last for ten broadcasting hours. Now, members choose how long they see models as being new (3, 7, 14, 30, 60, and 90 days). At the time of this post, members being able to rank new models as they choose is a new feature and it is yet unseen if this will make new model status less important or not.

Which rules are okay to break?
MFC very infamously does not enforce the majority of its rules. This can lead to confusion about which rules are "okay" to break and which are not. I started a thread in the MO section to get input from other models, and this is the culmination of those thoughts [link to that thread: here].

In general, these rules are fairly strictly enforced and breaking them will most likely result in getting a warning or your account being banned:
♥ Men on camera for any reason.
♥ Sexual relations with men, even off-camera (in the same room while camming).
♥ Minors, children, babies; may not be on camera or in the same room.
♥ Bestiality, or animals/pets on camera in a sexual or provocative context.
♥ Illegal drugs, or drugs that may be perceived as illegal in other locations. (Pot does not seem to be a bannable offense)
♥ Rape (most host websites like MFC, C4S, and others, will not allow simulation of rape to be displayed)
♥ Incest (sexual relations involving family members). [This includes incest role-play and fetish grey areas such as Daddy dynamics]
♥ Violence, blood, torture, pain, erotic asphyxiation, or any actions associated with bringing harm to yourself in any way (many models engage in, and totally get away with, mild to moderate sadomasochism, without blood play)

The following rules are sometimes enforced and sometimes not enforced, but you should probably play it on the safe side:
♥ Menstrual bleeding.
♥ Breastfeeding or lactation.
♥ Unauthorized persons (persons for whom we do not have proper name and ID on file.) - I have had female friends on cam with me for hours with no issue; other models have had their accounts suspended almost immediately for someone briefly coming on screen.
♥ Sleeping, "passing out". (I can't remember the last time I heard of someone getting in trouble for this)
Hypnosis (lol wut?)
♥ Discussing or arranging prostitution or escort services. (you can probably get away with it)
♥ Urination, defecation, "going to the bathroom", enema play, vomiting. (on the riskier side)
♥ Penetration of the vagina or anus with items not meant for sexual stimulation (e.g. bottles, baseball bats).
♥ Fisting.

The following rules are almost never enforced or are literally never enforced:
♥ Excessive consumption of alcohol or other legal or prescribed medicines or narcotics.
♥ Illegal or unsafe activity of any kind.
♥ Actions that may be deemed obscene in your community.
♥ Masturbation, penetration, using sexual toys or devices, cunnilingus, or other hardcore sexually explicit activity (in public chat).

A grey area:
♥ Public shows (shows where you are in a public location such as a library). Even though they involve illegal activity and often have strangers, including men, on cam, they do not seem to be in the red zone.



MFC requires a lot of personal legal info to sign up. Can I trust them?
In short, yes, you can. Hundreds of thousands of models have signed up with MFC and I have never even heard a rumor of MFC leaking or spreading the info of models. It may make you uncomfortable, but remember that if MFC was not a legit site, they would not require so much information to verify you

How much are tokens worth?
Every token is worth $0.05 USD. If you earn 20 tokens, you earn $1 USD. If you earn 2000 tokens, you earn $100 USD.

Members pay at least $0.0675 per token, and usually as much as $0.08 cents.

How much money can I expect to earn on MFC?
This entirely depends on you. Some models make very good money from the get-go ($100+ a day), while many others never seem to do well. It has been estimated that the highest earners on MFC make at least five digits (USD, not tokens) a month. There is more discussion about actual number amounts on this thread.

I have estimated, and never heard an argument to the contrary, that the majority of webcam models earn around $10 or less per hour. On MFC, the vast majority of models make less than $20 per hour. For many women, this is not enough to offset the inherent dangers of the job.

WHERE IS MY MONEY?!
♥ If you get paid by check: It can take up for 3 weeks for your check to arrive in the mail. This is, IMO, the worst payment option to select.
♥ If you get paid by direct deposit: It takes 2-4 days (usually 3) for most models to receive direct deposit payment. Remember that if the 1st or the 16th of the month lands on a weekend or holiday, your bank will take extra time to process the payment. Therefore, sometimes it can take up to 5-6 days for your entire payment to process.


Making money: why should anyone give you money?

This may sound a little mean, but don't take it personally.

Why should anyone give you money?

Women are not deserving of money just because they have tits and a vagina.

You are not going to be the hottest woman on whatever site you join. You are not going to be the most interesting or have the best body. You are not going to fill a niche market that nobody has thought of before. There are going to be twenty models online at any given time who are better looking than you and who will give it away more cheaply than you.

If you think you are going to join a camsite and succeed just because you were the prettiest girl in high school, I'll see you when you quit three months from now.

Models who are the most successful and make the most money are the ones that work the hardest. They work hard to make it look like what they are doing on cam is effortless. On MFC, they are the ones who have 14 hour work days and never take days off or have vacations. (Although I know of more than one model who works so many hours a day, it is interesting that many members do not believe this is true)

If your plan is to join a camsite and earn $50 or so a day; yes. You can do that with not a whole lot of effort, and probably not a lot of hours! But if you are hoping to make hundreds a day, then get ready for long months of tears and sweat. The simple fact is that the only thing which will differentiate you from the crowd is how hard you are willing to work. I have only heard of one model, ever, who made very good money without putting hard work in - and this was a second hand story Here is another way to look at it: I have been part of ACF for about 18 months at the time of this post. I have spent many hours of my life reading the stories and daily thoughts of other models. I have never ever in that time ever heard any model ever say, "it is so great that I make so much money with so little effort!". Ever. Yes, models who work hard do often enjoy periods of ease where their online shifts seem to flow easily and they don't have to "hustle" as hard, but that is always broken up by periods of hard work and difficulty. It may not be the hardest job in the world (I certainly do not believe it is), but you still have to work hard at it.

If you don't want to work hard, you can still make money. But you won't be making amazing money or even especially good money.

Advice to new career cam models:

I started another thread in the model's only section and got a lot of responses for the top advice veteran models would give to newbies. Before I put in their responses, here is my best advice:

Think about how you want to cam when you are successful. What do you want to be doing?
Do that starting on your first day on cam.

If you envision yourself as being the perfect non-nude model, then don't start off doing public cumshows because you don't know how else to increase your room counts. Likewise, if you envision yourself being a posh and exclusive model, don't sell your shows and content for ultracheap. If you want to be an easy-going low-key model, don't build up a posh and exclusive room and then expect everyone to be okay with it when you suddenly change your style.

Start camming with your eyes on your endgame. It's the best way to avoid big mistakes and to not get in the way of yourself.

Now, other the advice of other ladies!































Three common MFC scams

♥ "I'm an MFC admin and I need to speak to you on Skype." He's lying; report him.
♥ "I'm very experienced at watching other models be successful, and if you Skype with me I'll share their secrets with you." The best he will do is share common info with you that anybody could figure out. There are no "secrets" to being successful at camming.
♥ Fake tips: On MFC, when someone actually tips tokens, a ringing sound plays and the color behind the member's name changes to be yellow. It is common to scam new models by typing "has tipped 100 tokens!" or by posting an image which appears to be a legitimate tip.

How can I be successful on MFC?

♥ Price yourself according to what you are worth. This may sound mean, but be realistic about it - few models are worth 2000 tokens for a shot of vodka, and few models are worth $100 to take their shirt off (with a bra underneath, of course!). Don't worry with your prices being cheap if you are making an overall amount of money that satisfies you.

♥ Get on cam at the same time every day for 3 hours. Do not take days off. Do not get on late. If you get on early, stay till the end of your shift. Granted, very few models actually do this... and very few models are at the level of success they really want.

♥ Don't freak out. Any camscore above 1000 is great. When I started on MFC, I was happy as long as my camscore stayed above 1k, and I was able to put in more hours and make more money overall because of it. Don't stress out over a bad shift or two.

♥ Make and sell videos. Get online with a goal; get online to work. Keep in mind what members want to see - just because something is fun for you does not mean it is fun for the men who pay your bills. When you get online, you should be ready to work and geared up with things to sell for members who are interested. Getting online just to hang out because it's fun (and it totally is fun!) is not going to help your career any. Hang out in a member's room, work in your model's room.

♥ Smile and be happy. It is amazing how long you sometimes have to look on MFC to find a chick who looks like she wants to be there. Be the woman that looks like she wants to have a good time.

Alternatively, read this thread to learn success skills for MFC!

(Readers et all: I unfortunately did not have as much time to work on this guide as I would have liked. I hope future readers will add their two cents and extra help in the comments!)

Thank you so much, such helpful information!!

Cant wait to be verified so I can read everything!

To the ladies who have contributed on this forum, thank you from the bottom of my heart! This is so enlightening and so encouraging, things I don't get from anyone else in my real life when it comes to camming.

XoXo

 

[Deleted member 27683]

Holy cow this is a lot of info! Thank you guys I have a guy right now who keeps claiming he'll teach me the secrets of modeling success, and I've always been skeptical, but now I know for sure it's bogus.

 

[Deleted member 27683]

Quick question: How far does your camscore typically drop after your new model status goes away? Because I just finished my first week, and I'm in the 1900s and I'm pretty happy with it. Can I expect it to start dropping really quickly, or is there a way to stop that from happening?
