Ok, so let me get a disclaimer out of the way up front. I know how difficult a camgirl's job is. Not personally, but I get it. It's not easy to be the friendly person, in a room full of trolls, and perverts who all just want to see your tits as cheaply as they can. So, yeah, I get it. This isn't even focused at every camgirl out there, but I've seen these common mistakes so often that it's getting on my nerves.
Some of you know me, some of you don't, so I will quickly put down what I do, and where I'm coming from. I'm a computer tech, I own my own shop, I run my own business. I have overhead, I have customers, and contracts to deal with. All that sums up to, I am a business-person. I know what it takes to be successful, and why a lot of businesses fail can come down to luck, but it can also come down to the owner's actions.
So that's the preliminaries out of the way, the disclaimers if you will. What do I want to talk about you must be wondering based on that intro. This is mostly directed at the camgirls of MFC, but there's going to be a few rants about the guys as well. The problem is, boys will be boys, and they're not their for the same reason the girls are, so talking to them will probably mostly fall on deaf ears. Take this as friendly advice, a shmuck ranting about what he doesn't know, or whatever. Hell, stop reading now if you're easily offended by someone telling you your business. I could personally give nay fucks.
Let's start with the easy target, the guys. If you're in a room, and you haven't got any tokens, stop telling the girls what the hell to do. It's annoying for both them, and those of us that are either regulars, or just understand how things are. You're basically getting a free meal, and you're bitching about what's on your plate? Sit back, chat, enjoy the view, but keep your wants, and demands to your fucking selves. Speak up though, for the love of all things naked and sexy, get one damned hand on the keyboard and say hello. I've been the only person talking in a room too many times, and I'm generally anti-social. You have any idea how freakin' boring it is to sit in one place for an hour with people staring at you, but not communicating? Seriously, think about that the next time you're just chilling in a room with no one saying anything. Think of the girl's perspective. She knows you're there, and you are for all intents and purposes ignoring her. Doesn't mean you have to open your wallet, if you like her you should, but open your damned mouth at least. I have a policy that doesn't endear me to anyone, and that is that I always tip from an anonymous account, in ninja mode. No one will ever know if it was me that tipped them, or someone else. That's my personal way of doing things, but guess what, even with that there are more than a few rooms where I am welcomed, greeted, and asked to stick around. Why? Because I talk. I make jokes, I interact with the other pervs, I care about how the girl's day is going, and generally make myself visible. You know who never gets asked to hang out? The guys who don't say a bloody thing. It's not about your tips, ok, it's about your tips, but it doesn't have to be solely about your tips. Most of the 'regulars' in a room are regulars whether they have tokes for the lady, or are just coming by to hang out. I've made a lot of friends on MFC, and not because I swing a token stick that knocks girls on their asses, but simply by talking.
Now, for the part that's bound to get me in trouble. Ladies, if you're having a rough day, and you feel like throwing a personal pity party, consider not logging into MFC. I honestly don't know how many times I've walked in on 'poor me, tip me and make my night, cause I'ma sit here and bitch until you do.' You know what that doesn't attract? Tips, talkers, and camscore. I know a number of gents that see that shit and turn the hell around, even if they like you. I could be your best friend on MFC, but if I walk in and you're in a shit mood and taking it out on everyone, or just generally being a crybaby, I'm not hanging out. Seriously, it's not cool, it's not going to help you, and it might very well prevent you from getting tips. If you get a reputation for doing this, you're very likely to see your room counts shrink until you finally should just give up.
We're all adults here, and we all know the game. Guys are there for a fantasy, some are more sensitive to having that bubble burst than others. Girls come there for the tips, and a little exhibitionist fun. That said, you have to treat it like a business to some extent, and the worst type of business, customer service. Rule one of customer service, always be happy, even when you're not, especially when you're not. If I went to my shop and ranted and raved about my problems to every potential customer I interacted with how long do you think my shop would be open? Would you bring your computer in to my shop if you knew you were going to hear about my shit day while I was helping you out? You can be the sexiest thing to have ever graced the planet, and if this is how you interact with your room, you will not last. Let's talk camscore a moment, and no, not in the 'it doesn't matter just ignore it' way. I wish that were true, I try my best to pretend that a girl's camscore doesn't matter, because I don't think it should. But let's be honest, it does matter, and while it isn't a fair system, it is the system. So here's something that camscore effects, room count. Room count is the single biggest factor in how a night is going to go, be it great, or shit. It's like the old salesmen always say, it isn't about selling to everyone you meet, it's about getting enough asses in the car to ensure that you hit the percentage. One in twenty is the conversion rate I've heard bandied about in some fields, I have no idea what it is in MFC, but I'd suspect slightly lower. Now, basics, and guests you can safely ignore. Hell, most of us that have been around more than a month do. But what you can not do is ignore a premium. I've seen it happen repeatedly, someone finally has the balls to say hello, and ten minutes later they leave because they were never acknowledged. Room count may be governed by camscore, but retention is solely YOUR responsibility. If you can't portray a welcoming environment where every potential customer is welcomed, and treated like they belong there, you are in the wrong business. I can't stress this enough. Yeah, sure, the top 50 models can ignore 99% of their room and have no consequences. They get the exposure to do so, most of you do not. If you aren't top 100 by camscore, top 100 rules don't apply to you. It isn't fair, I don't care, it's how it works.
Well, that's enough out of me for now, maybe I'll speak more later. If I offended you, good. If I gave you something to think about, good. If you think I'm an ass, good. See you on MFC, or I won't.
