Tips for getting back on the horse after hiatus?

[LucyDurden]

So I started camming on MFC last summer, and while I did make some money, I wasn't very well informed on how to maximize my earning or how to properly take advantage of my new model tag. As a result, my room started getting less traffic, I had a harder time making tips and staying motivated on cam, and my camscore dropped to about 341 . I kept at it for a while until my laptop died on me, then just took the next 8 months to focus on school. Now I'm done for the summer, have a new laptop, and just ordered a lighting setup. I'd like to get started again by next week, but this time around I want to do it right. I want to make a schedule I can stick to, be more engaging and interesting on cam, and try different games and things to earn more.

My question for you guys is: What are the best ways to raise a floundering camscore? Do any of you have good tactics to stay motivated on cam? My goal is to try to raise my score back to around 1000.

All help and input is appreciated!

Is MFC a good site for beginner models?

I'm going back to camming after I've done it on-and-off for the past few years. I think it's been 3 or 4 years since I've been on cam! And I've been on SM, Cams, Cam4, Chaturbate, and MFC. I found that MFC was the worst out of the bunch because 1) I didn't understand it and 2) I wasn't established. SM or Cams may be a better site for beginners or models such as ourselves who still haven't gotten MFC right.

At the time, I was a n00b floundering around and signing up with as many sites as possible, hoping to make some money. Now I'm back with a plan in place. Make sure you have a plan in place and do your research. You want to make sure you have the right equipment. What sites did you apply to? What costumes or lingerie do you plan to wear? What do you intend to do in your shows? Don't try to copy what the other models are doing. Do what works for you. Be real, don't fake it.

Good luck!

I'm in the same boat! I was on MFC years ago, but then had to stop because of an injury. Now I'm back & it's been tough, but basically I have just been doing tons of research for ideas (outfits, shows, etc..) & I just work as much as possible. Some sessions are better than others. Even if I make a friend or two during a session I am happy because making regulars want to come back is also a big factor in being successful. Also having twitter & stuff to promote yourself or when you go online helps. Basically it's a rough situation.. I feel your pain. I have thought about signing up for other sites, but I have been on other sites before & I don't like a lot of things about most of them as much as I like MFC. That's my personal opinion though. You should try them out if you want like suggested above & maybe you will find something you like! Stay determined, do your research & have a plan. You will figure it out & hard work will pay off

Thanks for the info guys! I've been back on for a full pay cycle and its going ok. My main regulars and I have reconnected and I've procured a couple more new friends I like chatting with.

I went from 341 to 889 and now I'm back down to the mid 500s. Right now I just want to get more traffic in my room. I got some cards and a whiteboard to play games like hangman. Currently scouring the forums for tips on getting more members in my room and fun games to play.
