I think I make like $100 a month on IFRIENDS haha.. I used to at least make $100 or more per week.. not anymore.. and I do cam contacts occassionaly.. ... you be lucky to even get like $2 or $3 a day haha.. I have been on there since 2003 so I just never quit it. But I don't log on there a lot of the day because what for? waste of bandwidth.
Lol the site is fucking dead. I used to do free chat until I lost my few regulars (they are really fucking annoying and I didn't really have an overall income loss just on ifriends). Then I get losers trying to chat me up in free same losers over and fucking over. I went through a really long $0 spell on there. Then I changed to paid only mode and started making shit money on there again, but at least it wasn't the $0 i was getting with free chat and no more regs just freeloading fucks. Very very little money there- it's more of a pocket change site (literally) for me than anything else. The site also has tech issues. If you don't have the fastest internet I would not waste resources on this site, but you can make money on there just not a lot if you ask me... Only if you like refer people or something then maybe you can make serious cash there if they spend on you.
Now CamContacts I have never made 1 single fucking dollar on. It's even worse than IF if you ask me. Or I am doing it wrong. LOL!

Yeah I was making $100+ a week on Ifriends as well a couple of months ago. Now I don't even make that in a month. Don't know if traffic tanked or if there is a several month long new girl phase on there and it wore off for me.

Anyone still using this? What's it like these days?

I still use it and I like it. Obviously, all the other sites are better but there are days when you have a few shows in a row there or you get a long session to make up for everything. I like the fan club feature because I get a few memberships a month there and most of the guys don t spend their free minutes got with the fanclub. Some are longterm regulars for my fanclub. I also keep replays on and once in a while somebody checkes them and I wake up to $$.
It's still a nice little site. I keep in Free2GoPrivate, though. Every other models were telling me they just keep it in Standard but I am vocal in private shows and I couldn t let any visitors to hear everything about my shows while they re watching that protective screen. I tried once but closed the sound for IF and I keep my pc on mute when in shows, so I wasn t aware some IF member entered private too and I was still on mute. So, that s not for me. I better put it in break anytime I need to. If you only type in private, you could go with the Standard, though. But, to me is silly listening other models' shows.

For me, Ifriends replaced Streamate, for the title of "main site". In the last 3 months, has brought my main income, but I've put a lot of hours in and I stayed in freechat.
Also, it's awesome if you hustle your link, you get 100% share if your bring your own members. It's cool to have a member tipping $2- 300 in a day, where on SM, I'd get only 30% of it.
I don't like that I have to be extra cautious because I stay on the 50% share and I risk chargebacks, but I can always switch and play safe with 35% :)))).
Yes, sometimes is really dead, like... I am on first row, front page and I see a member in an hour. But that's Ifriends :))

How often are you getting chargebacks. I would be more concerned if chargebacks are frequent. but a chargeback every few months or once a year are worth the 50%. compared to imlive and cams where chargebacks are at 30 to 35%.
How do you know if you are at 50% on ifriends I would like to add that site to my split cam setup. but I would do it if I am at 50%.

As a former longtime iFriends model there are tricks to help with guys who don't clear, I don't want to be more explicit in public but DM me. You look at the member info and if they are a brand new member I wouldn't let them rack up more than $20 worth. It breaks up the show and chances are higher that the smaller amount will collect if they come back. I would claim tech difficulties and close the show. New customers are the most likely to not collect. It would give you info as to how long they had been a member and how they are rated, if they had done shows with you before. IME with IF, charges that don't get that * are were a way bigger problem than chargebacks.

This is something you can set up in your account settings. To see what your current payment method is:
* Go into your IDCard Manager
* In the SCREENNAME section, select the screenname you want to check
* Click on the EDIT button
This will bring up all the settings for that specific screenname. Click on ADDITIONAL SETTINGS and it will tell you if you are on Guaranteed Payment or not. If it says YES, you're on Guaranteed Payment (GPO) which pays 35% of all spend even if there's declines, refunds, or chargebacks. If this is set to NO, you are on the Standard 50% payout, which means you receive payment for the session once iFriends successfully collects from that member.
GPO settings are account-specific. If you have multiple accounts, you would need to check each one through your IDCard Manager.
You can always pop into iFriends Live Support and they can verify that for you as well!
One question for you ifriends rep pls: how/ where do I set up the vibe toy?! I see girls with a pink band on their profile saying they have a vibe toy but couldn't find where to select the option for it. Ty!

Hi, Kat! The iFriends site automatically detects if you have a Lovense toy connected and puts that pink band on your profile automatically. Our Lovense guide will walk you through it. You can check that out here: https://www.ifriends.net/ifpage.dll?t=site/chathostsonly/general/lovense.htm
Let me know if you hit any snags and I'd be happy to help you get it set up.

Is it true that Ifriends gave up on Cosmo? Does that mean Cosmo is closing or Ifriends decided of ending the collaboration?
Is it true that Ifriends gave up on Cosmo? Does that mean Cosmo is closing or Ifriends decided of ending the collaboration?
Checking my Ifriends account after i read ur post here, yes, once i logged in i got a pop up window telling about Cosmo Pay.
If they dont support companies based solely in US means they wont support Streamate either??!!
I am not active on Ifriends on live cam anymore just trying the site now and then to find out it's as dead as i knew it but i time to time get a payment for video & fan-club sales, i noticed they put my payments on hold as i had it set to Cosmo Pay, never got paid by Ifriends thorough Cosmo by the way.
I have Paxum so i'll change my payment method to Paxum. I wonder too if it's an Ifriends issue or Cosmo issue but i guess it's Ifriends cause they maybe dont want to operate with Cosmo, not sure why because Paxum is designed for non US citizens as well from what i know.
Ty for posting about this issue, here is a picture for you to see.

I got my money on Cosmo from other sites, no problems. Only the companies based in the US are affected by this. On ImLive I ve had no issues.

I tried it and after installing it on my computer it only said to make Chrominium my default browser and nothing about Lovense at all. I have no desire to switch browsers and thus couldn't proceed at all. I do have a toy and it works fine on mobile though to be honest it was a gift and not something that I will use on my regular site as imo it attracts cheap guys but I thought I'd give it a shot on iFriends just to see.

Chrominium is not a real browser btw . it is a hacked third party browser. you want to remove it asap and use Chrome from google and made by google imidiately.

Oh! Do you think that it piggybacked in when I downloaded Lovense? That's sneaky :/
iFriends

Piggybacked? Unsure, but it might be a left-over bit of install, as we have seen Chromium install on previous installs of Lovense. If you check out the instructions on the page, you'll see that there's extensions for both Chrome and FireFox. If you hit any snags, click on the Live Chat Support link on iFriends and ask for technical support. They'll get you going! Our analysis shows that Lovense and other tip-controlled toys do generate higher revenue for models who use them, so I would encourage you to try it on iFriends.

Yea Chrominium can sneak in from anything that you download. especially things that use to be safe but doing updates are no longer safe.
It took me many attempts to remove it from my old computer. and I made sure it is not on my newest computer now.

iFriends stats by default only go back several months. Hop into iFriends live chat support to request earnings that go further back than the current stats display.

Very few sites will show your lifetime account earnings. so you will need to make your own records.

Nice, in my case i need to make sure the site i am splitting SM with it's worth the effort/resource consumption cause i can only split two sites here with my i5 pc, for me is a big deal to split so the other site must make me consistent money, i rather focus on SM only than keep a dead/slow site open there, this can be done only if u have a strong pc (i know u have an i7 new desktop) but not when u got MY I5 and run SM HD720, that is eating soo much resources already, not much left for another site. xx
I've recently started split cam /multi broadcast with two computers. so the resource power is being use from idividual machines. I've figured out how I can have 3 computers in my current set up. with a stackable monitor stand. and barebones machines that are tiny towers. that won't take up a lot of space.
The tricky thing is the proper webcam set up, but I think it will work fine with the right tripod mount and extensions.
and right now I am happy I've been paid from ifriends check in the mail. so between ifriends and SM because they both payout weekly it makes sense to focus my energy on these sites. Weekly checks are very nice to see the only item in my mail box.

No need to be sorry. My fault entirely!! I found it afterwards in Spam. I was getting the weekly e-mails that "Payments are processing" and marked that address as spam but now I know you send the important e-mails from the same address and it's back in my Inbox :)
I was about to create a Cosmo account just to have an extra one, in case Paxum has a hard time in the future but am glad I didn t start the paperwork yet. From all the few sites I'm on, only SM has Cosmo now.
I'm glad IF members are so chatty and playful, I had good results the week I came back. Gonna broadcast there again soon.

I wrote this like five times.
So I am baffled by this site for so many reasons.
Right now it's I work the site, I do my shows then I check my earnings and they know I do the show, but the earnings are not posted. so I pretty much feel like I am not getting paid even when the payments could clear a few days or seems like weeks later.
I don't want to go to 35% with them, but I am trying to find a way to ease my uncomfort that I can do shows and some will clear and be on the weekly payout and some will appear later or what never appear at all ??
I wish I took the time to work this site when I made the account in 2004, but oh well there are no time machines.

I m on 35% and I never seen a chargeback there but I ve had an uncollected fan club twice from the same man cause he would cancel and come back again (even with GPO fan clubs payments are not guaranteed, same with tips) and a picture handpicked and bought. That s all as far as I remember, doesn t seem a site full of uncollected payments, refunds and chargebacks at all.
Buuuuut if I swipe on 50%, I d get 40% in hand cause they keep 10%t to release them after 6mo and then I would have to pay from my share another 5% for the VideoChat Wallets who buy credits in advance so I m back at square one :)) At 35% plus the funds who will be released weekly in 6mo. Though I almost never get a chargeback or refund on any camming site (I do check, most of the sites I ve been on showed the statistics), I always kept 35% on IFriends. Am broadcasting there very rarely but even when I was there regularly, for a while, it was taking sometimes a day or two for funds to be collected, but just sometimes.

Minnie, drop Stacy a line with the users you're concerned about and she can look into them for you. iFriends continues to retry anytime a user is declined, so if they decline the first day, iFriends will try for days/weeks/months to recoup that money for you. You can switch to GPO - as a reminder, anyone with Porn Star or Amateur Star status does receive an extra 5%, and that will be on top of your GPO.

There are very few gold members left on the site. However, you have complete control over whether or not you accept them in your sessions. In your IDCard Manager, click on the link to edit your screenname. It will display the area where you can update your block zones, set your virtual location, and other settings. One of the options here is ADDITIONAL SETTINGS. The first option reads ACCEPT ALL PAYING CUSTOMERS. If you uncheck this, it will prevent Gold Members from being able to use their discount in the room.
