*huggles* Man, camming is tough, man.
It might be a good idea to put your eggs in a few different baskets while you are working on building your MFC community. That will also take some of the pressure off of you, allow you to breathe a little easier and focus on building your room organically without the stress-fear. MFC is nooooot easy to break into, especially for those who are compleeeetely new to the camming game. Add in non-nude and it becomes a lot harder to find your footing.
There are several alternative baskets you can consider that can help! You can try camming on a site without a camscore like Chaturbate! Or if you think you can get into the more fetishy, kinky stuff, Streamate has a decent crowd for more femdom personalities, which is helpful if you're non-nude! I definitely recommend looking into filming clips to sell on various sites - that can be a decent income to supplement the camming. There are sites for more vanilla content and lots of stuff for more fetish related (I'm not talking about anything hardcore but like... Feet and tease and things like yawning). You could also try phone work if you don't mind dirty-talk!
As for working with other cam-girls! This is a great place to make friends! There are soooo many camgirls here! But it will be easier to find other girls to do shows with as you establish yourself as a reliable camgirl and get your name out there and interact with the community. It isn't unusual for us to get dudes coming through the boards looking for models to cam with in order to launch their careers, and we tell them the same thing: build your brand, work on your hustle, and learn your skills. Make friends organically and camshow opportunities might come up! But it'll be easier to find those opportunities when you're a little more established and fellow models know your style and character! It's hard to gauge when new models will be a good fit for one's room vibe, y'know? Just cause they're strangers, and I think duo camshows require a certain degree of trust. Still, there's an easy way to fix that! The more you interact with others, the more trust will build all on its own!
But I prooooomise you. We have several models on these boards whose camscores plummeted down to super low-lows, and with tenacity and determination, they kept working at it. They didn't give up. And they definitely found their communities and raised their camscores and have now found success. So there are some definite inspirations around here (okay, a ton of inspirations, really)! But, success isn't guaranteed. If things don't work out, it isn't any reflection on you. You are right - this is a super tough job. It looks so easy on the outside - but there are a TON of girls all doing the same thing, so it can be hard to get noticed. Hard work and talent and beauty can get you so far - but luck is an element that can have a huge impact, yet no one can control. The truth is there are some really hard nights to accompany the really good ones. It can seem so easy when you've got your new model tag and tokens rain down - but things get significantly harder when it falls off. This is super duper duper common, so I promise, you're not alone in that!
But if you're looking for friends, this is the perfect place. Keep posting, keep interacting, be yourself. These boards have allowed me to meet some of the best people in the entire world, and I cannot recommend it enough. When you get verified, you'll be able to access the model's only corner, and that's the PERFECT place to open up about what you're experiencing and you'll have a lot of understanding ears to listen to any needed venting, whether it's about camming or just life in general. Cuz I promise, I think almost every single model has felt what you're feeling at some point another. Sex work can be so incredibly isolating, which is another reason why this community is so helpful and sanity-saving!
