Myfreecams model not sure if I should give up.

[ArubaJasmine]

I have been using mfc for about a month now, but I have only been on a total of 8 times.

When I first started, on my first night, I walked away with $110 made in under two hours. I was shocked and so happy. The next night was almost the same amount, and so was the following night. The fourth night was bad. No one came in except for some people flirting for free and trying to pressure me to do dirty things for nothing. I later found out that some guy had put these people up to go into my room, flirt and give me nothing in return to test me for some reason, is what they said. The fifth day someone came into my room and told me I was running my room all wrong. He told me to change my tip menu prices, told me I wasn’t good at spanking my ass, and bad camera angle, even though my first three nights were fine. But I followed them and I changed my tip menu to fit what they were telling me to do, changed my entire bedroom, and bought new furniture to change my camera angle. The sixth day was worse. This person kept coming into my room and telling me to do this and that because I would make more tips that way, so I kept trying to follow what they said and my room just kept getting worse.
Before this person came in I was doing fine. On the seventh night I cammed, a different guy came into my room, told me my tip menu was all wrong, and my camera angle and also offered to help me. This guy claimed for some reason that he is behind making most of the top MFC models wealthy and told me he would help me change everything about myself and my room to make me make decent money too. I wasted two weeks. Yes.. I must be stupid.. I wasted two weeks of not camming, to listen to this person give me tips and help me change my menu and create videos for my MFC share, but none of it was how I wanted to run my room, and ever since this person came in I have made only $5. He purposely sent people into my room too to bring me down one night. He sent one person in to test me and to see if I would flirt back for free, and this person got angry because I told them I don’t talk dirty for free.. which I thought was reasonable, since I see other models not accept that all of the time, and it is on my tip menu..but this person who sent the guy in to test me, was mad that I didn’t flirt back. And then he sent in someone to act all friendly with me and wanted to see how long I’d chat with him for free.. and then he got angry because I didn’t ask this guy for a tip.. my head has felt like it’s spinning.. I’ve been depressed about losing my regulars because this person took up all of my time, and also told me my regulars were scammers, even though they tipped me decently in the first place.. I just want to run my room the way I want to do it.. I feel like these men coming in saw a weak girl and wanted to take advantage.

I’ve been wanting to give up. I’ve spent over $1,000 on camera, furniture, lingerie, toys ect for webcamming because it looked like something I could have fun with, I could be creative with, but why do I have these guys coming into my room and telling me “do things this way and you will make more.” Has any other model had this issue? Guys coming in claiming they have helped other models and then pushing you to listen to them? .. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been crying, I’ve been doubting myself because this person told me that he thinks I have low self esteem and can see it on camera.. I cried for days.. I just wanted to do the webcamming to have fun and a creative outlet, now I have guys coming in and trying to control my room and now I make nothing and have no followers because of it. Is this a well known scam and I fell for it?.. I don’t know whether to quit and give up or tell them to fuck off and do things my way.. I’m really angry they claimed that they helped make some of the top models be on top, and said to me that they saw potential in me and wanted to help me because of it. Please let me know models if you have had this happen?.. I want to have the motivation to continue so badly.. I feel beaten down though, after losing my regulars I created on my own, and hearing I look like I have low self esteem.. I’m so lost..thank you for any bit of advice and help.

It's common for people to attempt that with new models. Some people think they know everything because they've watched a few models and believe that with their advice they can make anyone a top model, and when it inevitably fails they move on to the next new girl. A lot of members also follow a certain line of reasoning because at first glance it seems to make sense. The model they are watching seems great, and they like her and see something in her, so they incorrectly assume that others will see it the same way and can't imagine that the model might not instantly become a top model, but as you know by now camming is more complex than that. For some idea of them being the reason for a models success probably makes their e-peen feel bigger as well.

I know you may be feeling down at the moment but it's good to know that for most people things start of slow camming. Regardless of what happened in your first few weeks it's never too late to turn things around. Instead of looking at it like a waste of time look at it as a learning experience of things not to do. The fact is no one can predict how well you can actually do as a cam model, and the only way to find out is to give it your best effort. You should definitely tell these guys trying to control you to fuck off or simply ban them or straight up ignore them (personally I like trolling ppl trying to take advantage of me so I can get a laugh at it and some of my viewers do as well).

MFC is all about building a followership and community around you and your persona. DO WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO - everything else will wear you down dramatically in no time. I'm personally not a friend of banning people (I have banned 1 person in 11 months of camming there), I like to use trolls and jerks as a way to entertain my room (I roast them until they're crispy).

I had months on MFC where I made ridiculous money and others where I barely made anything. Key - in my opinion - is consistency and authenticity, things like marketing your content and services help a lot. Don't get spammy though.

A month of camming is nothing really. I gave myself half a year to decide if I want to keep it up or not..
