Dealing with Slow Days as a Camgirl

November 17, 2023November 17, 2023 CamgirlMFC Leave a comment

Slow days on cam SUCK, but every camgirl will encounter a slow day once in a while. While the definition of a “slow day” will vary for everyone, it is equally discouraging and disappointing.

Here are some strategies to help you handle those slow days!

Stay Positive and Patient: Slow days can be extremely frustrating, but maintaining a positive attitude is essential. Remember that slow days are part of the business and everyone experiences them – even the top models. Keep in mind that things can turn around quickly, and you can have an unexpectedly great day at any time.
Use Slow Days Productively – This is a great time to catch up on things you’ve been putting off!
- Work on improving your profile or promotional materials.
- Plan and schedule content for your social media or premium accounts.
- Connect with other camgirls or models for networking and collabs.
Interact with Your Regulars:
- Engage with your regulars who are likely to show up, even on slower days.
- Take this opportunity to strengthen your connection with your most loyal fans.
Offer Deals or Discounts:
- On slower days, consider offering deals or discounts on private shows or custom content to incentivize tipping. A big part of camming is sales and marketing, so don’t forget to promote yourself and offer some enticing deals!
Experiment with New Content: This is a perfect opportunity to try out new things to keep your shows fresh and exciting. Experiment with different themes, outfits, or games that may attract more viewers.

Take Care of Yourself:
- Slow days can be emotionally draining. Make sure to take care of yourself, both physically and mentally.
- Use the time to relax, meditate, or engage in self-care activities. Check out my post on self-care for camgirls.
Diversify Your Income Streams:
- Consider other sources of income, such as selling premium content or affiliate marketing, to offset slow days. Check out my post on making money with affiliate marketing to create a passive income stream.💸
Network with Other Models:
- Connect with other camgirls to share experiences and support each other during slow periods.
Budget Wisely: It’s key to manage your finances wisely. During higher income days, set aside savings for slower periods. Check out my post on managing your money as a camgirl.

Slow days are a natural part of being a camgirl, but how you handle them can really impact your overall success. Remember that slow days don’t define your camming career, so stay positive and focus on long-term growth!

⋆ How to Get Started on Chaturbate: Camming Advice for Beginner CB Models

June 8, 2016October 2, 2021 CamgirlMFC 11 Comments

How to Get Started on Chaturbate:

Getting started as a cam model and making money on Chaturbate is quick and easy doesn’t require much – Just a few tools like a webcam and fast internet! If you’ve got those, you’re already halfway there. Read on for more beginner advice!

Signing up is beyond easy – you just need to get age-verified with an ID and get approved, which should take about a day.

Click Below to Sign Up:

In this time, it’s a great idea to decide what cam equipment you need or may want to upgrade. While the members will be there for YOU, a bad webcam or lagging video feed can turn off potential tippers. It’s important to ensure you are streaming with the best possible equipment.

WEBCAM: Go for the best external webcam on the market – Logitech Brio, and don’t bother with the built-in one on your laptop. The video quality will be quite poor.

LIGHTING: Lights are often not given enough attention, but they are a really important part of looking your best on cam. One tip is to do a 3-point lighting setup with some umbrella lights to illuminate you from all angles and hide any imperfections.

LAPTOP: Look for one that is high in RAM (memory) and one that has an i7 Processor, which will ensure seamless streaming and will be great for video/photo storage and editing. Asus K501UX is a great camming laptop. See this post for more.

MIC: Another great tool for any camgirl is an external mic, like the Blue Yeti mic. It will really take your camming to the next level!

This might seem like a lot of equipment to get, but not to worry, you can buy these items as the time goes on and prioritize them as you see fit.

What is Chaturbate’s Payout Percentage? How Much Money Can You Make?

Chaturbate pays models 50-60% of the token purchase value, which members can buy in different packages. For the model, 1 token = 5 cents no matter the token package. Chaturbate pays out twice a month, on the 15th and the last day of the month either by check, direct deposit (US only) Payoneer or Paxum.

There is also a great “Daily Pay” option for US camgirls, where you can get your money earned sent you daily, for a fee. This is a GREAT option for anyone needing the money asap.

How much money you make will depend on how much you put into it, but there are a ton of girls camming on CB full-time and making great income.

How To Succeed on Chaturbate

Unlike Myfreecams, Chaturbate is a more sexual site, where it’ll be more difficult to make a lot of money as a non-nude model, but it’s still possible to succeed as a tease model by dancing, playing sexual games, doing flashes for tips, etc. Cum shows will, of course, draw the most tippers and tokens, so if you’re comfortable with that, definitely give it a go! Here are some money-making tips:

Make Money in Public Chat

Set token goals and offer smaller “prizes” like flashes, to keep the guys engaged. Don’t forget to move around, touch your body, and SMILE!

Make Money with Privates

Chaturbate has a private function, where you can accumulate more tokens by going to a one-on-one private with a member, and this kind of show will likely be most sexual.

Make Money Selling Photos and Videos

Upload your photosets and videos on your profile, so that guys can purchase them even when you’re offline. A great idea to supplement this by signing up with Manyvids. It’s one of the most popular video selling platform for camgirls.

Use Chaturbate Bots

Chaturbate offers helpful bots to its models that can keep track of your countdowns, tips, post messages in your chat, thank your tippers automatically. It’s a really great feature, so definitely make use of it!

Be Consistent!

This is the last tip, but possibly the most important one. Consistency is key in camming, and there is no better advice than just showing up at the same time and same days on cam, even when it’s slow or you really don’t want to. It will pay off in the end, because you’re “training” your members to tune in to your stream and tip you consistently. As your consistency increases, so will your earnings.

And that’s it! Most of it will become really easy with practice and you can take it very slow in the beginning. The key is to 👉 Begin – Sign Up Now! Good luck!

Camgirl Lighting Tips – 3 Best Lights for Camming

May 25, 2016September 18, 2023 CamgirlMFC 14 Comments

*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 lights. No 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

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:

LimoStudio 700W Photography Softbox Light Lighting Kit Photo Equipment Soft Studio Light Softbox 24″X24

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 Security and Privacy Tips

May 6, 2016August 6, 2019 CamgirlMFC 5 Comments

Being a camgirl is a job full of privacy concerns, and being able to handle them is what will make you successful in the long-term. Read on below for some security tips to keep in mind while camming!

CAMMING PRIVACY TIPS

Geoblocking

Most cam sites, including Myfreecams and Chaturbate with allow you to geoblock your location, so you can be sure that your neighbor or that high school friend won’t be watching you. You can block anything from a state or province to a whole country! Unfortunately, some people can still get around the geoblock by having VPNs that change their IPs to look like they’re located in another country, which can give them access to your room.

Camming with Another Girl Precaution

If you decide to cam with another girl from out of state or country, be mindful of her geoblocks. She may have completely different locations blocked and is very likely to have your location unblocked leaving you visible to members from your state/province. Discuss this ahead of time and make sure you are on the same page regarding what you should do. Unless she has very high tippers in your location, I would suggest she block it for your visit to protect your privacy.

Removing Content/DMCA Takedowns

To further protect your safety and to make sure your recorded cam shows are not spread on the internet and visible to everyone, using a service like CamModelProtection can help you take down the stolen content and do DMCA takedowns on your behalf, automatically. There is no need to scour the internet to look for your screencaps and stolen videos, they provide this support in their package (Check out their free trial here). Remember to never file DMCAs yourself, because the forms require your real name and contact information, and you don’t want this information to be visible to the owners of those sites.

Be Careful about the Information you Share

Sometimes it’s really easy to slip up about where you live by mentioning a particular event you will be attending that is specific to your location, or maybe a restaurant that you loved, which can be easily googleable. Even quick views from your window can give things away if a member is familiar with the area. Be mindful of any items in your house that may have your name on it, like notebooks, picture frames, or even a Starbucks cup with your name written!

Don’t Open any Suspicious Links from Members

Any unfamiliar link that is sent in your chatroom, Twitter, or to your email can lead you to download a virus to your computer. With some links members can also find out your IP address and your exact location, so don’t open anything that looks off. Be especially cautious about any link-shortening URLs, like bit.ly.

SOCIAL MEDIA PRIVACY TIPS

Lock Down your Twitter and/or Instagram

First things first, make your Twitter and, if you use it, Instagram private and only accept people who are regulars in your chat. This way you not only prohibit people who live in your state/province from seeing you, but you also stop any images of you from being retweeted and spread on the internet. This will decrease your exposure in a big way, but of course also make it quite hard to market yourself online.

Use a Separate Email for Camming

This is a big one. Never use your personal email to sign up with cam sites, Amazon wishlist, or any social media accounts. Keep business and personal life separate. This will also prevent any issues with apps sharing your details with your full contact list.

Turn Off Location Information on Photos you Post Online

Be very careful about inadvertently sharing your exact location through the photos you post online. If you have an iPhone, go to to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Camera, and then select “Never” as the option, so that your phone will not store this info. Turn off your location on any social media that you use as well, so that no one will know where you’re posting from.

PHYSICAL SAFETY TIPS

Don’t Show your Address on Amazon Wishlist

When you go to make your wishlist, make sure you select the setting to hide/deselect your ship-to address from anyone looking through your list. This will mean that you might have to only accept giftcards or get a PO Box in another city, but it’s a great way to protect your exact location and not have someone showing up at your door! (This situation has happened).

Sending Mail and Gifts to Members

Girls who do raffles with physical prizes, like cookies or printed photos, need to be mindful of the fact that even when you don’t put your return address on the package, your city and post office address will still be visible on the mailing label. What you can do is either mail your packages from another city or only do digital prizes, like photosets and videos.

Meeting up in Person

While some girls are ok with meeting members, especially as raffle prizes, it can be a risky thing to do. There are many stories of camgirls being stalked, and by meeting up members in real life, you just open up that possibility even further. If you do decide to meet a member in person, always make your boundaries clear ahead of time, have someone around you, or at the very least, tell someone you trust about when and where you’re going. Not to say that every member you meet will turn out to be a stalker or cross boundaries, but it’s better to be safe than sorry!

Hope you found these safety tips helpful!

Non-Nude Camming: How to Succeed as a Non-Nude Cam Model!

April 12, 2016September 13, 2020 CamgirlMFC 3 Comments

Non-nude camgirl might seem like an oxymoron, because how can you make money without taking your clothes off or doing anything sexual on a camsite? The fact is, it is possible and can be VERY profitable if you find yourself on the right type of site and have the right approach. Here is how to make it work:

Your Choice of Cam Site is Important

Some sites are inherently better suited for non-nude camming. Before I go on, I want to split this term into two types: The Domme approach and the Girl-Next-Door approach. The “girl next door” angle works really well on Myfreecams where you are not necessarily expected to do a cum show or come online with a bunch of toys, contraptions and overly sexual lingerie, versus a site like Chaturbate that is more sexual and show-oriented. It also allows couples, which is one of its main draws, and hence will always be more sexual than MFC. MFC has a more relaxed, hangout atmosphere which some girls create in their room. There are of course plenty of sexual things going on as well, but MFC is your best bet out of all the camsites.

To be a Domme you need a certain personality and attitude. That, along with a bit of research, will get you accustomed to what submissive men desire from you online. There is a HUGE variety of things you can offer as a domme without taking your clothes off – JOI, CEI, Findom, Humiliation, Blackmail, etc. There is no camsite currently that is optimized for dommes, and while you can still log on MFC (there are a few very successful dommes like AstroDomina), the majority prefer to use social media and sell videos on either their own sites or sites like ManyVids and Customs4U. Another option is phone sex, with a site like NiteFlirt.

I will focus on what it takes to succeed on cam being non-nude and non-sexual or explicit, so tapping into that girl-next-door fantasy a lot of guys have.

Things to Do as a Non-Nude Model

❀ Establish a friendly atmosphere with the members watching you. How you do it is up to you, but try to showcase your personality versus your body (as obvious as that sounds), ban anyone who derails the conversation into a more sexual one or posts sexual gifs, and don’t forget to smile! A smile is the best ice breaker on cam. If it looks like you’re enjoying yourself, the tips will follow.

❀ Play games! Games are HUGE! Get a dry erase spinwheel and put it to good use. Play card games, Hangman, or even Battleship. Create your own to suit your personality. There are so many possibilities.

❀ Since you can’t do countdowns for clothes off or for cumshows, have countdowns for silly things like putting more clothes on or some sort of elaborate exercise routine, or hula hooping, or baking cookies! You need to give guys something to tip for, anything at all.

❀ Hold raffles and contests throughout the month. Raffles are a great way to make the guys excited and competitive, which translates into more tips for you for minimal work.

❀ To further solidify that member connection, send handmade presents/prizes in the mail, like custom drawings, if you’re artistic, custom polaroid pics, homemade treats or any other gift that you’ve put together yourself.

❀ Don’t forget about Skype! Even though lots of girls warn against Skype, that’s because there is a high chance of guys scamming you, DO hold special Skype hangout sessions with your best regulars. It seems to be the number one requested “prize”, since it gives them that exclusive one-on-one time with you.

❀ Keeping in touch with members outside of cam is important. Keep an active twitter, perhaps a personal blog, and snapchat your day-to-day happenings, which don’t need to be sexy at all!
