Hey ladies! Would you mind sharing what sort of tip menus you usually have up?
Mika-I would cut out the PMs completely or charge for them. It takes away from the chatroom and a few people would get upset at first with me typing too much without conversing with the room and then leaving. OR I tell members if they have a question they can MFC mail me. If they ask to be added for PMs I'll tell them I'll probably be replying out loud while keeping them anonymous. This can be a hobby for you but I would treat it as a career as well. There's sort of a running joke in my room that sometimes I'll get in the mood too much and prematurely start a cumshow but stop shortly and chastise myself like a child or something haha I'll start asking the members to chant "don't cum Charlie" with me and it's a good reminder to them that it's something you enjoy, it's a great tease, but you still have to be paid to put that out there for them
I don't dirty talk but if I did I'd be asking for tokens for that too. And especially if they want you to watch their cam (I was amazed at how many dudes will jack off to you just sitting there, fully clothed and not doing anything remotely sexual). I'm very timid for asking for tokens for things and probably did way too much for too little at first but when I started demanding respect and setting limits and asking tokens for things, it helped my confidence and a lot of members still stuck around and became regulars.
So I'm not an expert at all but I flopped camming about two years ago and have been doing it for two months this time and have been able to keep my camscore up (for now). And I scoured this forum for new camgirl mistakes to avoid and advice, if you haven't already there's a wealth of information
