MFC Camgirl Noob

[macgirlxo]

Hello ladies! I am about to start MFC and need some serious help! I have no idea where to turn or who to ask, but was hoping some of you would be able to help me with a few questions.

1. Are the "HT" high tippers that the models post on their topics the highest tip of the day or of the month?

2. Do they record there own videos, and how do they upload them to their profiles? Also , Ive seen a few top models who's videos are on porn sites, will mine be shared with another website???

3. I have seen some models profiles picture galleries have password protected locks on them, how do i do this?

4. What is the normal price range for a "show"? Do you ladies normally clear your topic on a daily basis?

5. I have a toddler who stays at home with me, his father got laid off of work so he will be watching him during the day. Will this risk my success if he is accidentally "heard" while camming? I do not want anyone knowing I have a child for his safety. Do any of you have children and how can i make sure he will not be heard during the day? Obviously he can't be outside ALL day, and i will be in a different room, but I am still terrified he might scream or wake up and be heard! I haven't figured out the times i will work yet, but even at night sometimes he does wake up crying, obviously since he's only 2. That is the one thing that is putting me off to start working. Any advice is greatly appreciated and i apologize if these questions have already been answered! Thank you!!!!

If you want to keep your child secret, I hope you're not planning on camming under the same name you registered on these forums to post this thread.

Hi there, and welcome to the forum! First and foremost, check out this thread, and make sure you get verified once you have your account up: https://www.ambercutie.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1696

This thread is also full of advice: https://www.ambercutie.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=14554

1. Are the "HT" high tippers that the models post on their topics the highest tip of the day or of the month?
Some ladies do HT by day/week/month. It's up to you which you do, and if you do it at all.

2. Do they record there own videos, and how do they upload them to their profiles?
Videos for sale have been recorded by the model, and while you can't upload your videos directly to MFC, there are plenty of options - just type "video hosting" into the search function and browse: https://www.ambercutie.com/forums/s...t&sd=d&sr=posts&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

Also , Ive seen a few top models who's videos are on porn sites, will mine be shared with another website???
There are two ways that this happens:
- Someone caps a show and uploads it
- The model uploads a promo or teaser to drive traffic

If you cam at all, there is a very high chance that you will be recorded at some point or another. You can minimize this risk by only getting nude/doing cumshows in group or private, or you can use a program like ManyCam to watermark your feed, which will drive traffic to you when your show is uploaded.

3. I have seen some models profiles picture galleries have password protected locks on them, how do i do this?
It's an option in the photo manager, but I found that I couldn't get them to stay in the correct order. If you offer ZIP files of photos instead, hosted in one of the places you host your videos, that works great!

4. What is the normal price range for a "show"? Do you ladies normally clear your topic on a daily basis?
This varies so much that there is no right answer. You'll start with a camscore of 1000, look at what models around there are charging to get an idea for what a good price range is.

5. I have a toddler who stays at home with me, his father got laid off of work so he will be watching him during the day. Will this risk my success if he is accidentally "heard" while camming? I do not want anyone knowing I have a child for his safety. Do any of you have children and how can i make sure he will not be heard during the day?

Try playing music to counteract outdoor/child noise. Alternatively, try camming at night while he's asleep. Some models find that day shifts work better, while others find that night shifts work better, as far as income goes, so it might be a good idea to try both and see which works best for you, if you can.

No I'm not, thanks for the tip though.

Hey awesome info! You answered a lot of my questions too, Saffron!

I do public cumshows (though I have been phasing them out) for around 4000-5000 tokens now and I regret having done them for so little when I first started. I used to do cumshows for like 1500-2000 tokens. I regret selling myself so cheap then. Just be sure not to undersell yourself.

Figuring out exactly how you want to price things and exactly what you want to do on public chat is the hardest thing to figure out. I'm still trying to figure it out myself. But when you do figure it out things get easier from there.

Yay! Thanks for the tips ladies! I wish there were more hard and fast answers but our jobs are so varied...

I think these ladies offered great advice.

Additionally on the issue of having a child...I have to say. If you can hear him...he can probably hear you. So your best bet is to fully soundproof your room and run a few tests with your significant other. Speaking loudly...yelling. Etc. If you can't manage to sound proof the room then yes...I think you need to only cam when he is out of the house. For your sake and his. Yes it can be heard in your room...which can affect many things...but more importantly you don't want to expose your child to hearing what is going on in your cam room.
