When I was first looking into webcam, I found the Internet Modeling website and ALMOST signed up. Thank god I didn't.
I'm sorry BrownFox, I hope there is some kind of way to get out of it.

Thanks, Smurfette. And I do have an idea on how to get around it. ;)

What the hell?
my thoughts exactly *smh*
Does it actually say in the contract you sign that You cant work for the site directly for 12 months. If not, I dont see how they can do that.
When you sign in, is there not option for you directly to delete your account on your profile page?
If you email customer service and tell them to delete your account, they email you back on the email that you login in, that you have personal access to, not Janet or Internet modeling
I dont see why the studio has to agree to release you !

This is the e-mail from Janet:
I will close your account, but first I just wanted to make you aware that
you are under contract with us for 1 year from your last performance. This
means you cant work for other sites in our network during that time. I know
you have been speaking with streamate directly, as I am copied on the
emails, so I just wanted to make you aware of this. Please let me know if
you have any questions.
Thanks,
Janet

Yeah, I'd think almost all cam sites would have a 'Close Account' or 'Disable Account' button somewhere in the model settings. It's all good though, because I've found a way around this. :)
I don't need Internet Modeling. I'm signed up on different cam sites (got rid of the damn studios and signed up directly like I should've done in the first place), and waiting to begin on a couple more. I'm exploring my options and finding out which ones are best for me. And I gotta give credit to many of the ladies here for their suggestions and opinions. 8)

Generally, Stream is VERY co-operative with studios and tries to stick to their schedules and such for time off between. 90% of Stream's money comes from studios.

So many people have suggested that I open a studio because I often refer models to certain sites or give them suggestions about camming. But I hate the studio system and think it is usually unnecessary unless the models actually need an actual studio to cam in.
Flirt4Free has an automatic studio system that signs you up under the studio in your area unless you register for a studio account instead of a model account. That was the first site I worked on and my studio manager was an absolute asshole and did nothing to help me earn money. However, he did go psycho when I decided to go work on other sites and leave flirt4free. So he started posting my name & phone number on craigslist & I had to change my cell number. Video Secrets didn't take his studio license away from him even though he is supposed to keep model's personal details confidential.
Then I used to get so many models sending me hysterical emails when I worked as the Talent Manager at spread4u because they wanted to leave their studio and work independently because their studio was screwing over in some way. In some cases the studio was actually stealing their money and not paying them ANYTHING. But the company still wouldn't let them apply as an independent model for 3 months, as per company policy with studios.
That is basically allowing exploitation to happen to the models who make the company money. I think that webcam companies should regulate studios more and it would probably make everyone more money. Studios should state that they are a studio & take a % but then justify why they deserve that %. Then models can decide whether it is worth giving the studio a cut of their earnings or just work independently.
Yes studios might recruit lots of models. But turnover is so high in this industry and shitty studios are definitely one of the reasons models don't stick it out for very long.

Some guy on streamate keeps sending me dick pics thru my inbox, lol, and wtf? I didn't know streamate allowd that option. I just happen to be checking messages and low and behold some guy says "For your viewing pleasure" As if he did me a favor!

I say DevonSantos said it best...
Studios are fine as long as they promote the hell out of you! Alot of models that work for studios make BIG income but if the studio is NOT really promoting you full time, providing your cam room with lots of traffic, high retention, and high income as well as making sure your camscore stays super high on the site then there is really no point in giving them any percentage of your income really!
and I agree with her.

I mean, really? I made far more than $20 and it's still not there. I tried all different browsers on different OS's and nothing as well as you girls's suggestions. I cannot find the Payoneer option and Streamate is not much of a help. :(

Yes, I agree with Devon also. Studios have to earn their cut. If they do, then I think they have their place and will help lots of models be more successful. Unfortunately I haven't seen too many examples of that.

Hellz yay! I totally feel you there. Thats how it is on SM. For some reason thezse boys feel compelled to show off weiners (What's new lol)!!!??? Yet, not take you private??? Cheap. I tend to respond to the first pic....let him know when I will be on so we can go PRIVATE. If he again sends me a dick pic without spending the cash. BAN HAMMER his a$S! Wash you hands of a spammer. I have no idea why some guys think if they show you their ding, that it an automatic panty dropper??!! OMG, your dick is so powerful. "Lets cross oceans, and mountains....I need to frick your brains out asap!!!" BOYS LOL.

I just started back up on Webcams.com, and I'm glad that they have the option to 'Hide User's Webcam." I'm trying to focus on my chatroom...not get all distracted watching some non-paying dude stroking his big elephant dick. :P

Believe it or not, I gave MFC another try late last night. Got a whopping 40 tokens...whoop-de-doo. :P I was talking to the guys and looking sexy and moving around, and that was all I got. *smh* But then again, I was on there EXTREMELY late last night (I'm a nightowl). If I had been on there at, say, 9 pm, MAYBE I would've gotten more $$$.
