Not clear on the SM integration....

http://modelcentro.xxx/support/post/6746

So, I if am understanding this correct (I feel I am for sure not), once I complete the integration (I get that part) and a member of my modelcentro site logs on while I am streaming, they can just watch whatever I am doing, be it free chat, private or exclusive, AND they are unable to tip me or take me private/exclusive or is this really for scheduling and streaming GS?

If this is true, I do not see how this is going to benefit me financially unless I charge a boat load to join my site. I feel confused about it.

Hello JackAlexander, actually SM performers who also have their own fan sites on ModelCentro will now be able to broadcast their live cam shows simultaneously on both websites with ease. When a model performs a live cam show on her Streamate profile, that same broadcast will be viewable on her ModelCentro site via the Streamate app, which is now integrated into the ModelCentro platform for model sites. So,you can improve your revenue getting money from your Streamate and MC users for the same Live show. Another great thing about SM integration is that SM users can go to MC website during the live show ( you can give them a link in a free chat) and tip you even if they are not registered as MC users. All Streamate Private shows will remain private and won't be available for anyone except users who have purchased them.;D

I can almost guarantee you giving a link to go to another website to spend money elsewhere is not going to go over well on SM.



This answer seems copy and pasted and a contradiction (or ill formatted). You say in the one sentence "When a model performs a live cam show on her Streamate profile, that same broadcast will be viewable on her ModelCentro site via the Streamate app"

ok, so we are streaming the SM show on the MC website for my members to see.. but then you say

"All Streamate Private shows will remain private and won't be available for anyone except users who have purchased them"

Jack scratches head

So only the SM customer can view the show they purchased?

Jack throws hands up

I could never get the website design to laod more then once in my life. I guess this is not for me.

Thanks anyway.

JackAlexander, I'm sorry if my post was confusing for you /:O:-[
I meant that eachtime you're running a show available to the general Streamate audience and "ESS" is set to "On", your ModelCentro subscribed fans would be able to see it and chat with you directly from your site. All Streamate Private shows will remain private and won't be available for anyone except users who have purchased them.:)

So only the SM customer can view the show they purchased?
If it's a Private show, It will only be viewable for those who paid for the private

Hey JackAlexander,

Hope all is figured out in the confustion. As to SM being against you sending out their visitors, we have a very special deal with SM and they will actually enable a button with "Join my personal site" leading to your MC website for you upon request. These signups get processed by them and you will see this income coming in from the streamate payouts.

Sorry I was away for a while, missed all and glad to be back int he loop.

I'm super impressed by how easy your software is. This makes it so much easier to have my own site rather than finding a freelance web designer or web design firm and having to invest in huge amounts of $$$$ with the hope that the designer knows what the hell they are doing. This makes it so I can concentrate on content and signups rather than behind the scenes complicated logistics. So, thank you....seriously, thank you lol.

SexxiLexxi and hyori, thank you both for the great feedback! We made MC with the model in mind, and although some really love coding, most of us don't... I'm also pretty sure not a single person in the world likes dealing with databases and hosting companies. Our goal was to take away these headaches, and we work hard every day to achieve that goal and to give more options, add more features and expand our service to fit all your needs.

ModelCentro is happy to be working together with LiveCamModelShows to ensure models make the most earnings!

If you have an LCMS profile, it can be styled to fit your ModelCentro site and links to it can be added to either your Home page text or the Menu bar.
Feel free to request the addition of the LCMS profile link by emailing support at modelcentro.com!

LCMS and MC share the vision that the model's individuality and independence are most important values. We greatly encourage models to look at camming and online work as a business and strive to offer tools to make this business successful. Hence, a very natural bonding of views brought us to encouraging connecting accounts and to ensure cross-promotion of all services offered by models to their fans.

Hi LaylaLovely, we are sorry about that, the website is working properly now :) Try to clear your web browser's cache and cookies, it should help. If any assistance is needed, feel free to contact our support department by emailing support at modelcentro.com.

If you are from the US, the support staff will reach out regarding your filling out and filing to us your w9 tax form. For all other countries, it's the model's choice whether to file the income as taxable or not.

Another cool update on ModelCentro (http://modelcentro.com/), if you haven't yet heard, we're integrated with VerifiedCall and you can add a Call Me page that will have a widget showing if you're online in VC and linking to your schedule - all it takes is adding your username in VC to the Apps menu.
Here's more info: About Call Me pages (http://community.modelcentro.com/index.php?p=/discussion/140)

For those of you who already added that - how is it working out? Do you see more calls coming in?

I have my own website but like that using ModelCentro will make it easy to have paid membership. I see on the community forum that some new features are imminent and I shall wait until these are functional. Renaming and adding pages is important to me and also external links.

I see from this post that they are in development:

"Adding site pages is in fact functionality that we're working on, so it's already in consideration. You would also be able to add external links as menu items within the same functionality."

NatalieCentro
12-12-2014, 06:31 AM
Hey RebeccaT, thanks for stopping by. MC will be around and waiting for you whenever you are ready to make the move :) I will keep the updates publicized so you're aware when custom page creation is available. It's not that you can't add external links now - it's a matter of adding the links as Menu items that was discussed and that we'll need to add functionality of. Many models use the links-in-text as links (which also doesn't overcrowd the menu), I posted an example in the MC community on how that looks. While MC's highest priority right now is making the website usable to anyone, regardless of technical skills or knowledge, custom pages (and other "advanced" features) trail off as not something immediately necessary, hence it might not be till Q2 of 2015 that fully custom pages functionality is available.

Really cute website you've got already :)

It's just occurred to me that I can use MC as the members only part of my existing website..all I need to do is link the menu tab. Doh!

I'm also thinking, with the new UK Age Verification laws, I can put all the naughtier stuff on MC. I assume you guys have some form of of age verification in place for viewers?

I really want my own favicon, too!

Hi Sophia,

Kaitlin talked about migrating to MC that in this same thread: http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?189443-Want-to-start-your-own-site-Adult-Centro-makes-it-easy&p=2653332&viewfull=1#post2653332, please take a look at her post so I don't have to brag too much :)

Many models decided to move their sites or add a MC site as a separate site area. For one thing - it's very easy to use and makes running a website much quicker and less labor-intensive. It's also a way to evade the headaches of taking care of hosting, billing, storage, streaming etc.

We also have a two-way integration with SM, of which there is a separate thread: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?195880-Twice-as-nice-Make-more-money-by-connecting-Streamate-and-ModelCentro!

It's risk-free as there is no down cost to make and run a website, so feel free to make an account and take a look around.

Yep, you can easily do that without moving the whole site.

The site access is charged through credit card, so yes, that's age verification.

Favicon can be added - just hit up support and send them the .ico file

Do realize the music copy right owners can come after you the owner & maker of those videos.
Reality Kings were sued. Those music companies waited years before going after them to get more money in damages.
It was a fine of $150,000 per song.

Now, you can go to www.pond5.com & buy the copy right to use music off of there, & there are several sites like it.

Sam

NatalieCentro
12-12-2014, 12:44 PM
Sam is right though, although you never hear them going after small sites - only ones where they could make money.
We don't have an enforced rule about music, but then - it is your call as we're a software supplier, so I suppose it's recommended that you err on the side of caution.

Well, I look at this way. We can't complain about free tube sites stealing our content & making money off of it then turn around & do that with someone's music.

There is a right way & wrong way to go about this. While they might not have YET! there is still a legal possibility. The legal precedent is against you. Whether or not they win, they can bury a person in legal fees alone.

Not to mention there are some really cool tunes, mood setting music to be had on pond5 and the like to set your stuff apart. Take advantage of that option.

Or take it as an opportunity to work with emerging & unknown artist to feature & link back to them.

Make your own.

Think outside the box. :) Get creative & have fun.

^^I also recommend creativecommons.org and especially dig.ccmixter.org Just be sure you select "commercial" before you do your search, and abide by their licensing requirements (which are completely reasonable and irrevocable). I've found amazing music to use for my clips. I agree with Sam, it's not worth the risk and it's bad karma to steal someone else's work and not expect it to be done to you.

RebeccaT
12-13-2014, 02:01 AM
Ah, I meant music which happens to be playing during an MFC broadcast or similar. I often upload snippets from those shows, although I realise even this contravenes copyright beyond, hmmm, I think it's 11 seconds but can't be certain now. A purpose-made video doesn't have music.

I once had a video pulled because of church bells is the background! It was picked up by software and when I pointed this out I got an apology but didn't upload again as I figured the software would flag it again.

I do have permission to use quite a lot of music but the hassle of sending proof after a video is flagged is not worth it.

Opened my MC account last night; took an hour to be verified. I shall be using it to host the Member Only area of my website.

Hi Rebecca, the Autumn skin is designed in a way that it shows the cover and 6 small-size image previews. That is the peculiarity of the skin, and it was requested by some models. You can check the way it looks on Lexi Lowe's website (http://lexilowe.com/) .
We have another skin, which looks similar to Autumn - Black Diamond, if you choose it for the design, non-registered visitors will be able to see only covers of photosets. You can learn more about the Autumn skin in the MC Support section (http://modelcentro.com/support/post/8184) .

Hi! I had a quick question regarding the URL when I sign up for ModelCentro :)

I have 2 domain names in mind - one for the MC site and one for my independent site (where I sell customs and panties, etc.)

My question is, can I ever change the name of my MC site? Like exampleXOXO.com into exampleXYZ.com instead (if I decide later I want to use the MC site as my only main site, once even more features are available! :) )

Because as soon as MC offers video categories, customizable tabs, and external links, I know FOR SURE it'll be my main site! :)

Thanks!

So far I really enjoy using ModelCentro. Uploading the videos is nice and easy. I just wish they had more fetishes listed under niches like belly fetish and feeder among others. Also, it would be great to have ways to organize the videos into categories on the videos page as most guys aren't going to want both masturbation, feeder and small penis humiliation videos all mixed together.

I add the tags, but they don't really help as they don't show up anywhere on the videos (at least with the theme I'm using they don't). So they can't use them to jump to the other videos of the same niche. If the tags were used to link other videos of the same niche under the current video (instead of my latest videos), then being able to go straight to certain categories would be less important.

Checking in about the coming feature I see. Stores available soon? Will they sell digital and physical items? I want to relaunch my site, but while I'm in school I'm not able to reliably update, so it wouldn't be fair to the fans to offer a membership site based on updates. Ideally I'd like a store to sell back stock of digital files as well as physical items, and then perhaps a member section that is based on X number of live cam shows a week and/or access to most/all of the cam shows I do...I have time to cam and time to do minimal management on a site, but no time for anything else, lol!
