I was so nervous and shaking the whole time. I'm really a very shy person. I still managed to make 70$ in two hours. Is this okay?
How do you ladies find things to talk about? I don't want a silent room, but when I tried bringing up conversation very few members replied and it made it hard. Any tips? I feel so lost!
Also, what is a good price for Skype? I had three people ask me!

Talk about anything really. But i guess at first talk about something that you are interested in. Dont be put off if no one replies. A lot of members maybe tired, busy fapping etc.

Wait a couple of weeks before doing skypes is all i will say.

- No one here can tell you if $70 in two hours is OK. We don't know your goals or what you expect from camming, or your living situation. Some girls are satisfied with making $12 per hour, and a couple of others are used to hundreds of dollars per hour. Most are somewhere in between of course. You have to ask yourself how much your time on cam is worth to you, and then you'll be able to tell if $35 per hour is 'okay' in your eyes or not. :) All we can tell you is that it stands for a camscore of about 1500-1600 so it's better than average (CS 1000). (I'm just assuming that you're on MFC, since you didn't mention what site you're camming on.)

- Conversation topics can be almost anything, really. I'd try to avoid religion, politics or very controversial stuff in public chat, as well as sad stuff (death or diseases; don't let other members talk about those things in your room for more than 1 or 2 sentences, either - it's bad). But outside of that the sky is the limit, I guess. I've had the most random conversations on MFC.
If a few people replied to you, that's already better than nothing.

When absolutely no one's talking in my room for 1 or 2 minutes, I often ask if anyone's up to anything fun today/tomorrow - when someone responds, ask them questions about it or share your own experiences you might have with whatever they're talking about. If there's still no response, I often ask if had an interesting meal recently. Guys often love talking about food. :lol:
Or it's always a good idea to talk about something that really interests you and that you have a passion for. I often see girls' whole faces light up when they're talking about their hobby or their pet or whatever, and it'll make a great impression to guys coming into your room. Just make sure not to give away identifying info while you're talking about things. Like, don't say "I was walking through Central Park yesterday and saw the cutest squirrel!" if you don't want people to know you live in New York City.

If your room keeps being silent despite you trying to engage guys in conversation a couple of times, you don't have to stay. Unless people are continuously tipping, nothing's keeping you there. You can always close your room, maybe have a glass of water, maybe redo your lipstick or put on a different top, and come back a little later - you might have a completely different crowd of people during the second shift.

- For Skype prices, I find that most girls do them for a bit cheaper per minute than privates. You're not obligated to do that. My own Skype prices are slightly cheaper than trueprivate, because I don't like doing Skype shows very much.
Make sure to never accept PayPal payments for Skype. Guys who ask if they can pay with PayPal for Skype are planning to get their money back later in most cases; PayPal doesn't allow payments for adult services. They can get your account close. Take tokens instead. As a new model, your priority is raising your camscore and that only works with tokens. Getting a big tip for a full Skype show is good for your camscore.
 
:-D Thanks! I am on mfc! Thank you for the advice on waiting on skype. I was a little iffy about how that works and didn't want to get screwed!

There's no reason to wait to do Skype shows, actually. As long as you only take tokens as I explained, you can't really get screwed.
 
If your room is kind of dead, either low number of people talking or low number of people in general, have some music on in the background that you like and that will get you to move, even if it's just a little. If you can find a balance between music you like and stuff members like, that's especially good. I forget where I read this, but professional models frequently have music on while they do shoots, and this is so that a natural rhythm comes out better, it brings out a hint (or maybe a lot) of emotion.

Regarding Skype, that is entirely up to you as to how you go about it, but keep in mind that the more time you spend on Skype, the less time you are on MFC gaining potential clients. So if you do Skype a lot, make sure you spend an ample amount of time in public chat. Also NEVER EVER take paypal! Too many people scam with that, and taking outside payments aside from MFC tokens will hurt your camscore. And always make sure you have the tokens before you do the Skype show. Many members will try to bully you by saying "well I have this model 500 tokens and she banned me right after that." It really sucks if that happened to him, but you are not that other model, and if he wants to make sure that he gets what he's paying for, MFC has their private system for a reason.

As a prem, I strongly suggest not doing skype shows while you are working on MFC (I think Tallula hinted at this). I think it's best to schedule the skype for after you log off MFC. It sucks to be in a room and suddenly the model says "back in 15 mins. Taking this skype." Especially when it happens multiple times in a night. You may never get those put-out guys back.
 
And obviously if you are doing a skype, make sure you have a vpn enabled. I schedule skypes for either before or after my shows and I only do it for days that I know will be quiet. :)

What would you do if the guys in your room had been tipping like 40 tokens in the past half an hour, and some other guy came along offering you 1500 to do a Skype show right now? Sometimes you have to set priorities.
 
I am still fairly new to MFC but I have found that playing music really helps my room flow. Older tracks spark up the most conversation as people can forget about good music or it can remind them of a good memory. I learnt this quickly and I made up playlists with a mixture of old and new music so there is something for most people. Also if my room is quite full but know one is talking I ask if anyone has any music requests. I often get small tips from the premiums for this and I quite like being DJ!

One point though is make sure you turn the music down or off when in a private. Most guys like the music on but low I have found.

Nothing wrong with a new model who Skypes frequently, or takes a lot of privates for that matter, but it's something to keep in mind, that if say, three out of four hours online are spent away from public, an hour might not be enough to gain additional clients. She'd need to spend more time in public chat, that's all. :)

I personally hate Skype (won't delve), but there are actually a lot of benefits to that from newer models should the choose that route!

Touche. I would take it :lol:
 
Thank you all! you guys are awesome. :) I have been using music, and it does help things flow, if it gets quiet i just sing, it also gives me something to dance for tokens for!
I'm glad i have you veterans around. lol :-D
