suggestions are: the payment processing will be HUGE once you get it sorted, i know i would use it regularly. so please make it a priority.
i am super excited with what you are doing as i have needed this service for a while now.
Just signed up, looks awesome!

I can't wait for the payment processing to be added! When you do add the payment processor, what are the chances of being able to use Payoneer?

We're still gathering information and discussing our options regarding payment processors and payouts. We'll definitely have a few payout options, but it's too early in the discussion to make any promises about what'll be available. We'll definitely keep you updated as everything progresses!

Do we know whether it can be used on Streamate or not yet?:)
I asked about it for our own models, Vanessa/SM gave a hearty thumbs up to using it...their rules:
(Straight from Vanessa:)
- No redirection to third-party sites
- No promotion of third-party sites
- No exchange of personal information
Otherwise, exchanging files (vids/pic sets) in exchange for Gold is still acceptable on Streamate. The only times when it can get a little sticky (from personal experience) is when the customer doesn’t receive the download link (failure to deliver on the models’ end or the customer doesn’t message the model via SM inmail), or there are issues on the customer’s end with being able to open the files/download the files, etc. If any of these situations occur, it is advised that the model resolve the issue directly with the customer right away and/or contact Support to notify them of the situation or if there are any issues to avoid possible suspension.
There might be 1 or 2 sites that could have additional restrictions, but no sites should care so long as you aren't stealing their traffic or hijacking their pay system in some way.
For our program, we're going to recommend using videos to upsell, as it does give you a nice boost to your sales pitch. This (Project Maenad) makes it very easy and keeps the model in control of her content to a better degree than anything else I've seen.

Thanks so much! I'm in the process of uploading all my videos right now.

Oh and one suggestion. Is it possible to add a spot enter the runtime for videos? I've just been putting it in the description but I think it would help to have a separate area to put it in.

I'm soooooooo hoping this site creates a pay-per-view option instead of download only. That would just make life in general, perfect :-)

I was talking with a male cammer friend about video sharing options and we wondered if project maenad was ok for male cammers to use, since it says for camgirls on the site. Possibly a dumb question, but never know :)

Am I able to sell by the entire album? Like if I make an album and upload all my preggo vids there, can I sell links to individual videos OR if a customer wants to buy all my preggo content, can I send him one link to download the whole album instead of a bunch of links?

Can we just upload one file to send or share without having to make an entire album? For example, with mediafire I used to have a folders (vanilla, fetish, random) and I would put all of my videos within those folders so I had them organized. I only shared individual file codes not the entire folder. Do I have to make an album for each individual file I want to share or is there a way to store videos in an album but only share one file from the album at a time?
Thanks again for building this great site! I love it!

Yes! Michael will be adding this shortly.

Right now we're definitely branded for camgirls, but there's no reason a male cammer can't sign up and use it!

When you make a link from an album, all of the photos and/or videos in that album will be accessible to your client. To send individual files, you'll need to make new albums containing one file each.

Right now the only way to send individual files is to create an album containing only the one file - but it sounds like we might want to change that. :)

please help... I created a vid, saw the link to download.
Question--how do I send the info to the custie?
in his e-mail--- do I put..www.projectmaenad.co/(myname)? or the name of the vid?
I e-mailed you from the site, but haven't heard back.
anyone know?
thanks

click on "uploads & albums" from the menu on the left, then click on "create link" and chose the album from the drop down menu and click create link. After it generates the link, click on the word "link" and copy the address in the address bar. That's what you will send to the customer. That's how I do I anyways, didn't see another way.

PrincessLavender

When you click on "link" it will open to the page that the customer needs so copy that address and paste it in the message to the customer. Does that make sense?

Finally got my act together and joined when CamRedeem informed me that I was out of space. Sent out my first link to a custie and he said "oh, that site is nicer than the other one". Thought I'd pass along the compliment :)

Glamourmilf - Sorry about your trouble with the site and the support email. We didn't receive an email - can you confirm which email you sent it to?
[email protected] should work, and leaving a message in the Olark form at the bottom of each page should also reach us. I hope you were able to send the link to your customer successfully, but if not, ask me again here.
PrincessLavender - Thanks so much for helping Glamourmilf!
AshtonBlake - You're welcome! We're so glad to help!
Bootsie - Thank you! This is so motivating. These comments are the fuel that drive us.

I made an account. I am trying to understand clearly.. Can a custie download entire files in the album? Or only one in the album? I am hoping to make an album with all videos in same category but can only download one of the videos...

No problem! I love this site! This is by far the best site I've ever used. Thanks so much for all your hard work creating it and continuing to work on it based on suggestions you receive here.

I love the site! The upload and download speeds are pretty close to the site I have previously used and the download limit feature is fantastic!
There are two suggestions I have though:
Firstly, it would be awesome if we could make multiple numbers of the same link. For example, if I sell a particular video package on SM to 5 guys in one show then it would be great if I could create five links without repeating the steps five times (I'd want separate links to give each guy a download limit)
Also, as CurvyWinona said, an ability to create links for individual files rather than albums would be lovely. I record my shows for guys sometimes and would like not to have a separate album for each one as that would mean literally hundreds of albums!

Huge thank you! I'm just now getting into offering videos and uploading to mediafire was becoming a hassle, as they kept getting deleted. This is great. Will keep an eye out for bugs :)

So I signed up and uploaded vids no problemo, then i realized how the albums work lol, deleted all but one and made new individual albums to upload them to, but now when I upload the green bar fills up but the little video square thing has a round loading thing spinning around and says processing above it, but it never finishes. Tried with a couple diff videos and new albums but it keeps doing this processing loading circle thing. Did it upload, did it fail, whats this mean? Any help would be sups appreciated! Thankies!
Edited to say it seems to have fixed itself, after i waited a bit deleted the ones that never finished processing and re uploaded a few times it all worked (did the weird thing a few more times but then worked fine), maybe the internet tubes were busy... I onno^^;
Second edit ^^;
Having the same Queuing issues as Rosemary now, not sure if maybe its just lots of ppl using the site and its running a bit slow or what been q'd for 15+mins on a fairly small vid

I have issues making links as well. It takes longer than the video download time. I just assumed it's the site. Its in que for some time before it even starts loading. Love this site though! Just hope this small issue can get fixed. It freezes a lot while in que.
I also edited a link by extending the amount of downloads my custy could have since he lost his first copy of the video. I changed it to 2 downloads and it shows up as 2 on the link page but my customer still could not download a second copy. I had to make a whole new link which took a while as it froze in que =/

Hi everyone!
I'm the new communications manager (https://www.projectmaenad.com/about) at Project Maenad, so I'll be watching this thread and answering questions about the site here.
Sorry about the issues with processing links today! We've had a spike in demand since Camredeem shut down, and the servers struggled at times, especially with large files. We intend for there to not be any limit on file sizes or album sizes in the long term, but for now, we recommend keeping files less than 2GB. There were some problems with files smaller than that today, which we're still looking at. Michael's rewriting the queue system and we'll add a more powerful server, so pretty soon there should be no reasonable limit on file sizes.
Thanks for bearing with us, and welcome to our new users!

I had forgotten that I had signed up on this site and was still using Mediafire until I re-read this thread. OMG used it the past two days for the first time.... I LOVE this site. Upload speed - FAB. I love that I can give different option on downloads as far as frequency and times. Easy to use... Thank you so much for developing this.

Any updates on adding the buy option on this site? I would love to use it for guys to buy my videos! It would be awesome if you are able to add the buy option but still allow us to use the links to share the videos for guys on SM who tipped gold.

Hi Winona, we're working on it! Hopefully it's just a few weeks away. The top things we're working on right now are to improve robustness and speed of link generation, increase the file sizes we can handle to be effectively unlimited, and then payment processing. We don't want to take any money until the system is fast and totally reliable.
Also, welcome to the site, Sophie!

I love the site. For profile, the listings should be smaller to make a gallery type page.
LinaTsunami
08-24-2014, 06:27 PM
Hey Winona, good idea. We plan to revamp the profile page with options to display products in different ways (and change the header image and probably the background). We expect this to be around the time we release payment processing, or soon after.

I agree. Right now I think the listings are too big. I think it would work better if they were in rows of say 5 or whatever. The page wouldn't be so long. Or if we were able to make categories. That way if a customer was looking specifically for an anal video he wouldn't have to scroll through looking for it. He could just click on the anal category and all my anal videos and picture sets would pop up.
I realize it's easy for us to throw out suggestions but not so easy to execute them so if that's not something easily added (or not worth the time to do it) I understand. I know nothing about building a website. Lol.
And yay for the payment option maybe being added soon! :)

I've been using this site for almost a month now and I love it! One thing I do when I plan to give out videos as prizes and whatnot, is to make the links before I start the game for that day.
