How Much Money CAN You Make on Manyvids?

If you put in enough work, you can make up to $10,000-12,000 (!!!) a month. If you treat it as a job by uploading videos consistently and promoting them online, you can make a very nice income on ManyVids, especially with how popular the site is becoming. This means their traffic is increasing and so does the number of paying customers.

Payouts are bi-monthly and you make 60% of the revenue from the sales of your vids, pics, and any other services and items you offer. That is a pretty great payout percentage.

What is the MV Score and How is it Calculated?

You receive a base MV Score of 750 points when you create your profile. It goes up (and so does your placement on the site) with a number of factors.

The MV Score is calculated based on these factors:

  • Dollar amount of sales *Most important factor*
  • Number of hearts on vids and profile
  • Volume of vids and store items created
  • Number of times your uploads get auto-tweeted by ManyVids (Twitter account required)
  • MV reviews (5 points will be added for each full review up to a max of 200 points)

The MV score is recalculated twice daily and is in effect for 45 days. After each 45-day period, your score is reset to the base score of 750 points, so it is important to remain active on MV to keep your MV Score high!

Camgirl Lighting Tips – 3 Best Lights for Camming

*Check out my new post on Top Lights for Camming*

In addition to having a great webcam, you need to remember that lighting is a REALLY important factor in looking your best on cam (and making that cash!). If you ever see a girl who’s ‘glowing’ and looking beautiful and clear, it’s likely that she is using special studio lightsNo worries, they are not that complicated and can be bought on Amazon! So, what are the best lights to use while camming? This diagram shows that you ideally need 3 lights to light yourself with, also called the “3 Point Lighting Setup”.

LIGHTING SETUP

 

I would say that 2 specialty umbrella lights (“key” light and “fill” light) and your room’s overheard light or sunlight from a window (“back” light) will be enough and will give you a GREAT advantage over someone without extra equipment. Don’t overthink it too much, just make sure you’ve got a few umbrella lights illuminating you.

Here is my Number 1 suggestion for lights to use on cam:

 

LimoStudio-Photography Photo Portrait Studio 600W Day Light Umbrella Continuous Lighting Kit

cam girl advice

As I mentioned, the difference will be amazing! These umbrella lights showcase your features, and all the shadows that make you look old, dull and not as attractive will disappear! It’s the investment that will give you the most return for the money.

This kit includes everything seen in the photo above:

  • 2 Tall stands with bulbs & umbrellas
  • 1 Short stand with bulb
  • Umbrella carrying case
  • Bulb carrying case

 

A very popular choice for camgirls are softboxes! They create beautifully diffused light and are used by professional photographers, so you know they’ll be great for cam.

My recommendation is this set by Limo Studio:

I would say that the most useful and versatile light (not to mention, easily set up and transported) is a Ring Light (also called the “Selfie Light”)

Ring Light Kit 55W Bluetooth LED Ringlight Lighting with Tripod Stand Dimmable 3200K/5500K

  • 3 Color & 10 Brightness: 14 inches ring light can switching 3 different types of light and match your mood and preferences with 10 brightness levels. It use power-saving LED beads and SMD technology, the soft lighting will make your face and skin more beauty. The circle light comes with a Bluetooth remote.
  • Wireness Remote Control and Phone Holder: Wireness remote control for convenient access to brightness and color temperature settings, channel / group selection, as well as reliable and accurate control over dimming parameters in real time; Bluetooth Selfie remote makes you selfie more easily.
  • Lightweight & Stable Stand: The ringlight is constructed from aluminum alloy, giving it exceptional strength. The ring stand can be adjusted from 38.5cm/15in to 152cm/60in and is very portable to take in anywhere.

Play around with them and you will not regret this purchase. Along with a good webcam, lighting will make or break your camming, and good lighting will help you get started on the right foot! Good luck!

 

Camming Lighting and Tools: Advanced Stuff!

So, you’ve got yourself the best webcam  and lighting kit, but feel like you want to up your camgirl game? Here are some advanced tools to get you there!

You’ve heard of umbrella lights, but if you want impeccable lighting, it might be worth looking into SOFTBOXES. They are used by professional photographers and while they are bulkier and harder to store, they do give off amazing diffused light that will give you that perfect glowy look on cam and hide any shadows and imperfections. There are quite a few girls using them and the difference is noticeable.

Here is the softbox kit I recommend:

In terms of audio equipment, most webcams are well-equipped to project good audio, but if you want your viewers to have a superior listening experience, I definitely recommend splurging on an EXTERNAL MIC. My #1 recommendation is the Blue Yeti USB microphone, which can be seen being used by a variety of podcasters and streamers alike. I’ve seen camgirls use the Yeti and the sound quality is incredible. You feel like the girl is sitting right next to you and talking straight to you. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s worth the investment to get an improved camming experience and, with that, MORE tips!

Features:

  • Tri-capsule array – 3 condenser capsules can record almost any situation
  • Multiple pattern selection – cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional & stereo
  • Gain control, mute button, zero-latency headphone output
  • Perfect for vocals, musical instruments, podcasting, voiceovers, interviews, field recordings, conference calls
  • Plug ‘n play – Mac OS X (10.4.11 or higher) and PC (Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP). Bit Rate: 16bit

 

Another interesting tool to have on the advanced side of things is a GREEN SCREEN! Just like the screens used for special effects for movies and tv, you can create some really fun shows with a green screen and a webcam software, like Manycams, to edit the background with whatever video or images you want. I’ve even seen this done to create a “realistic” library scene, when camming from actual libraries were banned! You can get as creative as you want!

⋆ How to Make Extra Money with MyFreeCams’s Affiliate Program

mfc affilaite program

 

Myfreecams is one of the biggest cam sites out there and its referral program is a great way to make some extra money. While they used to have a revshare affiliate program with Crakrevenue, an adult affiliate network, they have ended their partnership.

Right now the only way to make that extra cash is by using their BAF (Bring-A-Friend) referral program, which gives you 20 tokens for every referred basic member and 200 tokens for every referred premium who signs up with your link.

 

myfreecams affiliate program

 

I’ve mentioned it before in this post, but a lot of camgirls don’t realize that they can be part of this program as a model. It’s not exclusive to members!

All you have to do is Create a Free Member Account (since model accounts cannot buy or hold tokens) and then use the referral link that you’re provided with to link to your room on Twitter! Use it in your bio and link it every time you log on. 😃 You can also use this link on forums you frequent and on any other social media. The only requirement is that you cannot post the link in your chat room on MFC and you cannot have it in your MFC profile. It needs to be linked from an external site.

Signing up takes 2 minutes and creating a referral link takes another 2, and you can have a steady stream of extra tokens coming into your member account, which you can then tip yourself with (there’s no rule against that!) or tip any other girl on the site.

How you would link your room is by adding a hashtag and your name after your unique BAF code:

http://www.myfreecams.com/?baf=xxxxxxxx#YourName

That’s it! It’s free and easy and will give you some great passive income for the times when cam is a bit slow. Click below to try it out! ⇓
