As for the text question, once the direction of pay is set for a chat, it always stays that way. So, if he messages you first, he will forever be the payer for that chat. Feel free to ping him any time in the future, you'll never be charged. For live interactions (e.g. phone or video) it is always whoever initiates that particular call is the payer.


Thank you for this information! I didn't know I could contact someone who has contacted me first. I have a few regulars and I have always waited for them to contact me.

I also wanted to say it would be nice if there was some way we could sort our phrends. I would love it if I would be able to have a favorites list or something where I could put all my regulars and guys who have spent the most on me. I have had so many people contact me that my phrends list is huge now and it's difficult to find certain phrends sometimes.

How long do checks take to receive by mail? I know that the website says pay out is on the first of the month. I didn't even notice the quick pay option until this week. I have since changed my payout method to quick pay.

I started yesterday and made about $50 but that was simply from texting no calls no videos no gifts but honestly I don't mind it because texting literally takes no effort from me at all

I am however cracking up over here because the few guys that im texting say the most off the wall shit.

Checks were sent out on the 6th; the site should say "first week" of the month, since we have to perform fraud analysis on every batch. You should receive it this week, I would guess.

So one weird/beneficial thing has happened to me on Phrendly
I was doing my own promotion thing, posting ad's for people to come talk/trade pics with me on Phrendly
Well a craigslist bot copied my ad, put their own pictures, and their email on it.
Well the ad was " Find me on Phrendy, my username is blah blah blah"
So I got a TON of adds on Phrendly and people were eager to hear that I wasnt the girl in the pics and wanted to see who I really was and it just shot off from there.
It was very creepy because the first post was in my hometown, and I had all these locals trying to meet up with me.
But the thing is, almost everybody gets a free drink when they sign up. So I was KILLIN it for a few hours.
I was a little worried how somebody found out where I lived, but I have a husband and we both have protection in our house and I wish somebody would try to fuck with us haha.
But I just wanted to share my creepy story that in return made me some money

That is very interesting. I wonder how/why a Craigslist bot picked up your ad? We have *not* done anything with Craigslist (but maybe we should?).

Yeah it was very close to home so I have no idea the reasoning behind it. I live in a very small town
As for craigslist promoting.
70% of the time the ads are only live for an hour at most it gets me like 5 -7 people who will make an account and spend their free drink on me.
I think whoever does the twitter for Phrendly should maybe use that account to an advantage?

I actually emailed the email that was put on the ad. I knew it was a bot because the email was something like [email protected] lmfao.
And I got like 10 different emails about going to an invite page..
Sorry bot, I have my own hustling to do. Dont have time to fall for your shit lol

Okay so my 1st week just ended and I just wanted to weigh in on my experience.
I like the fact that I can switch from computer to phone at any point in time and my conversations will still continue on. I also like how we get the "introducing phrendly member text" it really helps me keep things organized. I will say that there are a lot of guys that try to get my number. Here are my tips to deal with those
-Just simply say you are not comfortable giving your number out
-If they ask about kik/snapchat/skype just tell them you dont have it
-If you do that, dwindle them around for a while. My favorites are "it's still downloading or I added you did you get it yet?,"
-NEVER give them any other info. If they start being rude or an asstwat just block them.

Money making tips
-Every 2-3 days go through your entire inbox and simply send a "Hey" to everyone. It might strike up more convos for you.
-PROMOTE! I use craigslist & meetme at the moment
-Talk about it on Twitter. I tweet a pic of me laying in bed with something like "Just laying in bed, would love to text!"

In 1 week I made $773 dollars..All by texting. I had no phone calls no video calls or anything.

I hope it works out for you guys!

Since Craigslist doesn't let you put URLs in ads, it makes that difficult.

I have had some pretty good success with Phrendly, but I am hoping to do more with it in the future. :-)

I have been on phrendly for awhile now and enjoy the easy going guys. I tend to get the most text and calls between 2am-4am EST. Most of my indy shows are requested during this time as well so works out when I decide to stay up late.
Here a few ways I work the site:
- over half the guys that contact me want to take it off site, I politely remind them the rules of the site and the purpose of the site is to get to know each other without giving personal information - you know you exchange numbers , kik snap whatever and then turns out the person wants to harass you and stalk --- this usually leads them to hold off longer from asking
- I have my settings set that only people who message me can video chat - just like with camming I have to know what you expect during our live cam time - so it is a must we chat before.
Even though 90% of my video calls are just nice chatting and flirting. Also extra sips from the initial texting.
- I change my gif every now and then especially when it seems it is slowing down and that always bring in some new guys or some i have not heard from in awhile.

I share my link rarely but putting it on CL sounds good will try that soon!

Also if you give out your link, do you also have to give your user name so they can find you?

Every page under Settings (the gear icon) has your own unique Tell-A-Friend link in the right-hand panel. Use that link or the FB share button near it and you'll get $10 if a user becomes a customer.

Our TAF reporting isn't great right now, but the foundations are all there (including proper crediting, of course), so use the link now and the reporting will catch up eventually.

We're also working on smarter links that you can pass out that link directly to your own profile page.

I got an email from Phrendly about helping guys pick a picture and it had an option A or B. I didn't realize I was going to get charged for commenting on it after picking an option. Why are we charged 50 cents from messaging them but get 38 cents when they message us? I'm not going to bother reading another email like that again or at least not bother to comment again. Ugh.

Hi Wendi:

Yes, you should avoid messaging guys first, because our rules say the first person to message is the payor for that conversation. We should probably not show the message box to women seeking men in the GIF voting page, since so few women will want to pay for a conversation when they can just as easily earn.

We're still learning. Thanks for your patience. You might consider blocking the guy(s) where you set the pay direction toward him so that you don't have to worry about paying for his responses in the future.

Thanks for your feedback; we'll be sure to act on it.

Can we advertise our profiles using business cards? I was just wondering because this method helped me in the past and I was wondering if that was okay for me to do so? :)

Of course, Dona, but here are some cautions: You don't have a single Phrendly phone number to advertise. Phrendly gives each of your phrends a (possibly) different number for you, that only works if they call from the number associated with their account (so you won't ever get telemarketers or wrong numbers on a Phrendly number). So, putting a number on your card isn't possible right now.

Also, we don't really have memorable, marketing friendly links that would make sense on a card, such as "donadiabla.phrendly.com". Feel free to put your Tell-a-Friend link on there, but that's a lot to have a guy type :( . Wish the news was better.

I'll ask that our product manager put "friendly advertising URLs" on the development list. Thank you so much for the idea!

OK, we’ve done some research and here’s the story on the small percentage of replies that happen within 24 hours for which no credit is given. Yes, they occur because the person you’re messaging is out of sips. And yes, they are not frequent: about 3-4%.

This was not an issue prior to late September, because before then, we’d send you an error saying you can’t send a message to a person with no sips. We now deliver this message (hey, you took the time to write it, right?). Our analysis shows the recipient of that message is 3.1 times as likely to add money and respond than before when we didn’t send the message. Overall, this is a better situation for you because there are many more paying customers in the system. So, while we’re not happy that you’re getting paid only 96-97% of the time you should for texts (we’ll fix this and eat the costs of replies to zero balance customers), the change has actually put more money into provider pockets overall.

Each person has to consider how they conduct their business and what services are worth their time. Obviously, it’s our opinion that turning your back to our platform because of the small percentage of your responses that go to guys who are out of money should not be your primary reason for doing so. If it helps, here’s another way to look at the economics until the fix goes in: Instead of receiving 38 cents per volley, you’ll make ~36-37 cents.

As a gesture of good faith, until that fix goes in, the commission for phone and video calls will be 80% instead of 75%.

And thanks for your continued interest in Phrendly!

Just wanted to follow-up on this: As of last Friday (1/20) if your phrend doesn't have enough balance to pay for your response, our system will pay you for it. If you check Transaction Details (Settings->>Balance->>Transaction Details) you'll see these with a description like "Drinks earned (phrend's tab covered by bartender)". So, respond within 24 hours and you'll get paid every time you should, regardless of your phrend's lack of funds. Yay!

Hi Violet:

Sorry to hear this, you've certainly been popular in the past. Allow me to offer a suggestion: Go ahead and reach out to guys you've chatted with before, but haven't in a while. Once the direction of pay is set for messages, it's permanent. So you can ping your old custies with a quick "miss you" (or whatever) to rekindle the conversation.

We have on our roadmap a way to make this easy for you, but until then you have to do this manually by going into your phrends list on your computer or replying to old text conversations, if you want to do it via SMS.

Just as a little warning - open up a new browser and make sure you all are showing up when you search for yourself under the correct age range and ethnicity. I just had to message phrendly because I am not listed on the site at all unless you manually search for my username (which would probably never happen) and/or a keyword that I have on my profile (such as "nerdy" which is more likely to happen but, let's be honest, guys are most likely going to click with who they see on the page). So, for those not earning on the site like me - this could be the reason why. If you're not showing up, just message them and hopefully they can resolve it for us all soon.

I asked them the same thing and got this response:

"To answer your question about how placement is determined, they are sorted in three ways; Birds of a Feather, Opposites Attract, or Phrendly Formula. Basically comparing the two profiles are they similar profiles, dissimilar profiles, and lastly our secret-sauce mix."

That really doesn't make since as to everytime I look at it, it's changing but i'm on the site as incognito not logged in to any account so whos profile are they comparing it to?
