sexy=less money?

[PlayboyMegan]

So I've been camming for a month now. When I start of with clothes, just talking, I get a bunch of tips and people wanting me to take them off. Sometimes as a "thank you" I'll come in the room naked, start teasing and rubbing a little for free. I get hardly any tips when I do that. It's like 300+ people in the room and not a word is being said, no tips, no pvt or groups. Really makes me not want to hand out freebies anymore. Do you girls ever feel this way? Like the more boring you are, the better you do? hahaha

 

[NoelleBright]

I've noticed lately that as soon as I get naked, the tips stop. It's not that I look bad naked, but I think that a lot of guys on MFC are starting to be happy with JUST that. I get my naked countdown quickly, my room fills up and then hundreds of people just SIT there and my show countdown will not move.
I've been toying with the idea of upping my naked countdown just to see what happens.

Yea something I noticed also when a girl is new if she acts all shy (or just say they won't) and not wanting to take her clothes off it seems guys tip a lot more. Guess part of it can be part of that whole conquest thing. Also there is the flip side of it, hey if I am getting it for free why pay (why buy the cow when you get the milk for free). I think it's stupid if u just wanted to see a girl get naked and play with herself go to a free porn site. This site is so much more then that.

 

[WinningDuh]

I don't understand like you will sexy women like Playboy Megan be naked in chat and not many tips and then you see totally a plain model (don't want to mention her name, don't think she posts on the site), who probably wouldn't get a second look in the real world from anyone, who gets tons of tips by sitting in her parked car (in her driveway) showing her tits (and always hiding her stomach) doing her best Agent99 impression. Just doesn't make sense at all.

 

[LacieLaPlante]

I've found this as well! I've now made it a habit to stay naked longer.. or not even do a naked goal. I feel like coming out of the clothing is part of the sexiness.

It just makes me laugh when guys say "get naked, then you'll get tips." Because MFC has proven that this is not true.

I would ask, in all seriousness, what is the payoff for more tips after you get naked? And I'm really not trying to be a smartass. I mean, if you are not doing any public penetration shows (which I applaud you for if you are not), then I guess the whole point is to get you naked. After that, it's mission accomplished, so to speak.

I have actually noticed in a couple of rooms that the countdown will go pretty quickly until it gets almost finished and then slows to a crawl. I don't want to speak for all members or make a generalization of all models, but part of it may be that once all the clothes are off, the "chat" part of the interaction takes a back seat. Might be something to it, or I may just be speaking out of my ass.

Just one perspective.

It's not about the payoff, it's about showing your appreciation for a show with tips. Especially if I didn't even do a countdown and I'm doing it just to be nice.

Totally. It's like they are too busy jacking off to contribute.

I understand totally, I'm just playing a little devil's advocate here. Trying to offer a little insight into why it may be happening. It actually frustrates ME a little bit to be in a room where nobody is tipping. And then it just starts to piss me off if only me and couple others are tipping while everyone else is just sitting around like a bunch of damned squash.

 

[Rose]

I'm a bitch. If we don't clear my naked countdown in time or stop getting tips after I get naked then I give a couple warnings, if no one tips I get redressed and we restart the countdown. Guess who rarely sits in public chat naked? Most of the guys who frequent my room now just either tip for other things anonymously or take me private if they want to see me naked/masturbate. I don't like sitting around naked all day and I make that clear before the countdown gets started. Don't keep me waiting and I won't give you blue balls.

 

[JickyJuly]

I pretty much only countdown to naked now. Then I write something silly in the topic line and hang out til the tips stop. If it gets too slow I take privates.

 

[Miss_Lollipop]

This doesnt happen to me often, in fact i find i get higher room counts and more chances to make tips when I AM naked than when im clothed..

My topic almost always has some kind of countdown though, once im naked we work towards something else. Showers, oil, cum, bath, paint or whatever random show idea im trying to do.... or i'll run a small raffle, or set a goal 'x' amount of spanks or whatever...

 

[GingerAnn]

NEVER just get on naked and play for free, unless you're just fishing for privates, I suppose. But sadly on MFC tips for appreciation can't be expected. I've tried free shows a couple times and have completely given up on the idea now.


I have the same problem with tips stopping once I'm naked. Usually once I'm nude I have another countdown going, but even when it's a countdown to a cum show the tips usually stop once i'm nude. SO if it's lulling too badly I'll start to get redressed and then remove more clothing once things pick up again.


The last time I was online I skipped the naked countdown entirely and did a cum show countdown straightaway, and that worked really well. I realize you (and a lot of girls) don't do cum shows, even i only do them occasionally, but you could use the same method with something like an oil show. Instead of, say, 1000 to nude and then 1000 to oil show, just start out with 2000 to oil show and remove/add clothing as needed.

Of course, my topic was "I want to fucking get off with the Hitachi in public! X tokens until that happens, bitches!" lol, which is a super rude topic and far from my norm, but they got a kick out of it and it seemed to work. *shrug* I guess the lesson i learned there is that wording your topic in creative ways can inspire tippers as well.

EXACTLY what I do, too I usually do a "get my bra off" goal, then once that happens I start my Wet T-shirt show countdown, rewarding tippers with nipple-suckage. Then, after the Wet T show ends, I usually count down to an oil show or a pudding show or a shower show or something. Then I also reward high tippers by cumming or doing something special. I find that in public, it's important to have lots of different countdowns to keep the guys tipping!

Talking about this really makes me want to do a show, stupid internet problems! Lol

Edit: It might be because my tits are one of my selling points (playing with them, putting things on them, cumming from nipple stimulation, etc), but I am rarely fully naked on camera. I usually have at least panties on, even when I'm "selling" spanks.

 

[reggieholtz]

I've actually seen the opposite of this happen (well, sorta the opposite) where the model has all her clothes on and isn't getting tipped at all and says she won't take anything off until people start to tip and then people say, "I'm not tipping if I can't get a preview of what my money could get".

I think what you get tipped and if you get tipped are going to very depending on the model. If you take one of the top models and she tries this, chances are she'll make some money (and could make quite a bit, it's the anticipation of seeing more) the same could be the same for newer models that people find attractive or they have a great personality.

I don't think something like this would work for some bitchy model that says, "here's my goal, no one is seeing anything til we hit the goal" and is rude to her viewers. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule.

If you just sit around nude you're giving the guy (or gal) free range to just start playing w/themselves and you get no money in return. Let's face it, most guys are done in a few minutes anyway then they're gone. Esssentially, you just helped them out and you don't even know or get a thank you in return.

The teasing and countdown to naked time is probably the best (and even sexier) way to go.

 

[AmberCutie]

It really depends on your crowd, and your type of crowd can change daily, or even hourly. Some like to just hang out and chat, and enjoy the tease of a cute shirt/bra/panties. Others are anxious to see the naughtiest bits of you, and take the incentive of "tips til naked" to get there.

I think the key to keeping the tips flowing is adding a bit of tease to whatever it is you're doing, and find a comfortable, polite way to remind them that tips are required to get a little extra of whatever it is they want. Make sense?

But regardless, even the best tease, sexiest girl or flirtiest flirt will have their slow times where nothing seems to work. Thus is the life of a cam girl.

 

[ComicOzzie]

A model friend of mine used to get naked in free chat all the time and had to constantly beg for small token tips from the 300 people in her room. Starting in October, she stopped getting naked in free chat and went to privates only. She now gets about 5-8 pvts per session and just finished her best month ever on MFC.

FYI.

 

[LucyLegz]

I was thinking really hard about this same exact subject last nite. I took a little while off for some personal reasons and also to try to pull it together after learning what to do and what not to do to make it work here at MFC and other camming sites.
I'm still learning, and trying new things, activities, topics, etc etc and have to be patient (especially with my cam score being so ridiculously low ) I've learned my lesson, and taken advice, no pokin in public!

But it's getting a little confusing. What do I do? I dress up in a nice sexy outfit, and even put a reasonable low goal to get topless, each tip got little flashes. I chat it up have a few laughs, tell silly stories, advertise my videos, I still have all my clothes on. I get some PM's from some of my regulars, and I get the wow you look hot in that, I could stare at you all nite just like that... mmkay thanks

So after I dunno 2 or so hours, Ive only gotten 80 tokens to my goal. I don't know if I should be :icon-cry: or if I should be :angry4: So I went to my dresser and pulled out my Eeyore sweats and put them on and changed the topic to I will put my slut clothes back on when I get my goal... crickets.

Ok ok so too sexy I get, they are corner wanking in my room, alright my bad that outfit was super sexy I guess.
So lets tone it down a bit, aww comon fully clothed, accompanied with the big fluffy slippers and I get another pm oh daaayumm BB thats almost even hotter.

I feel like just putting just my elbow on cam and say I'll come out of the corner when I get I dunno halfway to my goal. Geeze.

Sorry for the long post, I just feel better getting that out.

absolutely! This this this. One time recently i recieved a large tip to do a reverse strip tease and slowly put on a sexy outfit that the member had picked out for me. The guys loved it. I wet the white shirt down, then did a slow strip tease back to naked.

 

[EvaLee]

Just as Amber said, you gotta find the happy medium of teasing while naked + knowing how to ask for tips. Also one thing no one mentioned is when you're naked, your room count is going to basically double or even triple, which means more people to tease + request.

Recently, my slowest countdowns are my naked countdowns and my faster countdowns are my show countdowns. Why? Because when I first log on I have about 100-150 people in my room. When my shirt/bra comes off, then I have 200-250 in my room. When I'm completely naked I have about 400-600 in my room. Getting my bra/shirt off is the HARDEST sometimes, then everything else just flies as more people come in and contribute. It's just knowing how to get them to contribute.

Best of luck.

No offence, but Agent 99 did not invent car/public shows on MFC. She may have drawn the most attention because she was a little crazy, but she wasn't the first, and she won't be the last.

I'm going to derail the thread for two seconds - aplogogies but i feel this needs to be said.

Thank you for mentioning this Cammi! I feel like i get compared to her a lot when i do my public shows and when I started doing them, I'd never even SEEN her show. She may have been doing them but i certainly was not trying to do an agent99 impression.

I'm not sure which model this person is referring to, however i would encourage members watching public shows to not push the girl to go past her comfort zone. Public shows take GUTS. they can be scary. I don't think theres any reason to dig at a girl for not being extreme as agent99 cos she's sitting in her own driveway. At least its something different and she's not just sitting in front of a curtain in lingerie playing pop music twiddling her thumbs in silence.

I think it's simply that your guys are usng the tips as an incentive/begging/persuading device, rather than a reward or token of appreciation. I personally have not much experience to speak from, as I don't do that whole tip/showing in public thing. So my tips are not a significant part of my revenue. I have a lot of admiration for you all -- I don't know how you do it.

 

[Jessi]

I have a model friend who is consistently up around the top, 10k camscore. She NEVER does countdowns. She takes her clothes off or flashes how she pleases, from her own judgement of the situation and how the tips are going. She's also got a great sassy personality so it really works for her and she has great control of her room.
