Hey, I missed a whole month on mfc due to dental health issues, and I'm literally making 1/4 of what I used to make...I have no idea what to do, change to cb or what? My camscore was never that astronomical as I am a new model but it was always within 1000-1250, now I'm struggling to keep it at around the 600-700 level. Any tips?
Thank you,
Aries

Girl... Same boat . You literally gotta come back at that bitch like you're fighting it in a ring without boxing gloves. Pull out all of your stops and just be authentically you and consistent. It'll build back up and in a couple of months you'll be there again.

The hard part is going to be ignoring it while you do. Remember... that fucking number is to literally make us compete like demons with no incentive but...bragging rights? It doesn't define you and your income is what counts :h:

Hey guys,
FIrst off, I would like to say that I am very fortunate to have some fellow models on here who are willing to help boost my self esteem, cus when the numbers get low, it does fuck with me.
So, basically, I have been trying to exclusively work mfc everyday as I do belive that there is a benefit in digging deep into the platform one's on, instead of spreading onself thin over several platforms (although having one good backup camsite is useful, I'm mainly on mfc, but i did try cb one day, made a good customer and will go on there from time to time to do pvts with him)
I also use sextpanther as a "backup," It's not cam per se, but you get a fake phone number and get paid for texts, vid chats, phone calls and get to determine your own prices. If anyone wants the referral link, I can send it, I do get a kickback so that's why I don't want to post it here (I don't want ppl thinking I'm trying to make money) You can either apply directly to their website, but if you want to help me out as well, I do have the referral ilnk.

Anyhow, so yes, the first step for me is just getting back on the horse and riding it. Cam is a way of life, so first thing I do is I wake up, thank the universe for being alive, get some coffee, read something inspirational, try to think of a simple theme or outfit and get on the laptop while I'm drinking my coffee. I usually start with a small tip goal (either 100 or 50), try to keep my bra and panties on (at least panties on) until I can hit at least 500-1000 on there. Now, there are times when its been so dead ass slow that I do get naked, but I'm not necessarily doing a cum show. I'm not too ashamed to admit it, but I've even played w/myself to get ppl into the room, and sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't.
What seems to work best for me is just keepijng to a good consistent schedule, having simple tip goals til I hit around 1000, and picking up pvt/skype shows along the way. I try to put in at least 5.5 hours a day because if you work 5-8 hrs, you're bound to catch a rush.
The other thing I've been doing is just contacting all my old regulars, sending little vids or pics etc, and usually they really do appreciate it and sometimes do get shows because they like to see that I've gone the extra mile to ask how they've been doing.
I did actually reach the top 600 last week because the top models got tip bombed and my cam score is now like 899, but yeah, I try not to look at that number as it will drive me mad at the end of the day lol!
So, yeah, these are the things I'm diong, my instagram page is growing once again but getting deleted from twitter really hurt my onlyfans game.

So, ladies on mfc, what do you think about doing skype shows, or accepting cash for skype shows other services (esp on mfc where ranik and camscore matter(
Do you do them, or just stick to tokens/pvts?
Love,
Aries

Wow so hardworking!! I’m sure you will get back to it. I’m basically new to camming, and when I say basically its Because I tried before back in 2015 and lasted 4 months, I was too emotional and don’t remember much of what I did, I do remember that MFC was much easier back then, less camgirls, now u have to compete with 2k girls, it’s savage, I read a huge post in this forum about the advantages and disadvantages of MFC and definitely the Cam score is a huge psychological disadvantage. I have been researching a lot and checking other girls, top models and not so top, and in my conclusion this is mostly about making friends, then keep them.

I have seen girls that go online being sick and making a chill show, and their regs are there to back them up with consistent tipping, but also I have seen girls giving it all and 0 tips…I have the same problem as you, I started and my cam score was around 1800 and now I’m going down to 1500 and less, I’m aware kinda of why and I hope my opinion is helpful for you, I haven’t had much time to yet fix all of it

1. Pvts might cheer a slow night but also kill your room long term: I try to use pvts strategically but it’s very hard, if you stay online 2 hours with little to no tokens your cam score sinks and a pvt can save you, but if you are in the middle of a countdown and talking with a few people and you take that Pvt, you just destroyed the relationship you were building with them, aka, missed the opportunity to get regs. I’m trying lately to only take pvts when there is less than 4 premiums in my room or no talking at all, I believe from what I have seen from other girls that the best thing to do is schedule it
, not cut your show in half.

2. Schedule and times: I learned in this forum somewhere that a good thing to do when you’re fighting with a low cam score and having a dead night is to log off and try later, I did this the other day since I still don’t have many regs, only like 3 that doesn’t always pop up, I stayed 2 hours and got very small tips, my cam score was going down, so I apologized with the two guys I was talking with, they were very understanding, I went offline and tried around 4 hours later, It was much better and I completed the goal I set to myself for the night.

3. About Skype shows: Same as pvts, scheduled and I learned years ago that it’s a bad idea to get other payment that are not tokens, firstable tokens help your cam score, u can explain them that, and also if they offer u PayPal there is a common scam where they report your account for inappropriate content, u get your account banned and they get their money back. So personally I always ask for tokens.

4. Personality and “idle” mode: this is one of my biggest problems, I call it myself the idle mode haha, that is what I do while I wait, I have tried different stuff but never getting nude, what I’ve seen that worked the other way is funny but I started talking alone haha, talking about stuff randomly, smiling and saying thanks lol, people got more interested in staying in my room. Also once I was playing with a tipper on PMs to touch myself without anyone noticing but it was very obvious, and people liked that, maybe I should try that again. And what I see good models do is dancing or random flashes, but I’m very bad dancing sadly, and my body is not a top model one. Then when u get the people to join you gotta talk, something I see very often is that most of camgirls look like they’re in the office working, because it’s easy to fall into just sitting there and answering PMs…which makes the main room boring, I’m trying to stop myself from doing that and I answer PMs out loud.

5. Friends! You gotta talk and get them interested in your personality, not only your body, I think this is how I’ve survived even back then in 2015, if people entered to just see quiet bodies doing porn they would go to a porn site and not to a cam site, people like the experience to be able to interact with a hot girl, or even some of them to just talk with someone, I think at least in MFC this is the key, and personally I feel comfortable building this kind of relationship with people and not only showing my vagina to quiet strangers haha. Top models have a solid community in their rooms, I want that too.

I hope all of this help us! Wish you the best of lucks, let’s hope we raise the darn cam score. Xoxo

oh my! Thank you for this reply!
Well, ever since I wrote that, I started going online at the times I usually work and I did rebuild my customers, but yeah my main problem is strategically placing skype shows/pvt shows. I have many good skype customers who have paid me over $50 sometimes more than $100 etc but the temptation is so easy to do that skype show if nothing is going on in the room and you need that $20 right?
Anyhow, these are all very good comments, and I think what you posted can help many new models as well.
I'm back into the club world, so money isn't as big of an issue, and now I can focus more on my cam technique and not feel so hustled to survive. Unfortunately my camscores never really gone up more than 1250, but then again, I was so desperate for money I was taking skype shows probably at times that weren't so good.
Honestly, when I give mfc a good honest 8 hour run, I canmake good money as within 8 hours you will find yourself a good rush, and I agree with you that using nudity and pussy is a short term solution to a long termed issue because if you show it ALL in pub chat then ppl won't have the impetus to spend and some members will get turned off because they want to see you as their special girl (ie gfe).
Everything you said is yes indeedy correctemundo and even I've trained some girls online how to work mfc and they're making more than they used to!

Anyhow, though, I think I'll try that technique of if it's so freaking slow maybe taken an hour or two down and do a backup cam site like cb or stream mates as I am registered on those as well. I also want to start a studio account on mfc because some girls want to work for me as I can train them but it won't show me how?
So Yes i agree
1)time/consistency
2) no idle mode face lolol
3) talk out loud in response to pms do not get pulled into idle face mode LMAO
4) time out pvts/skypes strategically so that the pub chat room isnt killed
5) obviously put some time into the work...staying online only for an hour a day will never be a good barometer for success.
6) if its not going so well at the moment, log on later

the only issue is with working in the club, my time is much more limited so when I do cam, those are basically the only times I can cam, however, the burden of making a crap load of money quickly has been taken off my shoulders and I can study it more as an art, and not have to cop to cheapie skypes/pvt shows and stick to the token system...stay focused on the room and stay in the moment that is key to all of this.
TBH, I try not to pay too much attention to camscore because it does fuck with my head, but its like a balance...I do look at it to see where I'm at, HOWEVER, I will not let it deter me from working either as it is an arbitrary number and there are times when I've been ranked high with low camscore and vice versa.
Not to mention this year I had some added stress due to some health issues and a roommate dying and having to move, plus losing my job as a dancer. Im much better in real life with ppl but club work is reallly hard...I'm starting to see that if I apply the same gusto and willpower as I do at the club, cam could probably work out a bit better for me as well because I don't think I've really been giving it my all out of sheer frustration.
Now that I'm working so hard at the club and my body hurts I feel like I'm ready to give cam my all because compared to club work someitmes it feels a bit easier (physically) it is a bit harder though because in the club all of us ladies are visible and usually most of the men come with intention to spend when online it is not necessarily to case.
Online, this camscore thing is what helps us w visibility and not necessarily everyone in the room is gonna spend as the online medium just has so many ppl in it. I do believe with good focus (no idle face) some good clubs set up and all that good money can be made on mfc, we all just gotta hang in!
LOVE LOVE LOVE

Exactly! Let’s apply this, I was online a while ago having all of this in mind, sadly I didn’t get enough tips to maintain my camscore and it was a quite dead room so now I’m taking a break and I’m gonna try again in like an hour or so, I hope I do better!

I kind of get you about your other job, I’m the same, I have a full time vanilla job luckily from home so I don’t have all the time I would like to have to work on my stuff here, even so almost everyday while I work I read this forum, brainstorm ideas, update some content and so on, I hope it pays off!

and yes definite I’ve been told that having other platforms is useful as well for times likes this when MFC is going slow!

we can do it 💪🏽
