Thanks Dragonfly
so i guess what i was curious about is
Guy: Hi Wilsy
Guy: How are you?
Guy: what are you at today?
Me: Hi Dan
Me: I am great, just chilling today not much
Would that be classed as a volley too?
Many Thanks for the reply

That's one volley, so you would earn $0.35 for that exchange.
Ideally, you'd text quickly enough to squeeze in a message after every single one of his. That would have made 3 volleys.
The way I think about it is, your first response is paid. They can send you 20 texts in a row, but only your first response is paid.

sorry for all the questions, i have seen on other chat sites the users get charged for messages sent by models, is that the case here too?

The initiator of a chat (usually a guy, and definitely not you if you're out to earn) pays for your first response to his last message, as long as you don't take more than a day to respond. Once the direction of pay for a chat is set, it is permanent, so you should never be afraid of pinging phrends you haven't talked to in a while.

I got that message briefly again yesterday with the yellow circle arrow then it went away. I was so happy as I always get it
during a long text with someone i've talked to before and it ruins the flow of the conversation!! :-))

CL shadowbanned me IMMEDIATELY and i'm not sure why since I never posted links or spammed. I just kinda rely on what I can reel in on Phrendly. But it's been dead af.

No, I haven't. I'm not sure if I qualify anymore, I took longer than 24 hours to respond to some of my messages, and I think last time that was a requirement to stay in the featured program. But yeah, I didn't receive any news either way.

Just curious, from a girl who obv doesn't qualify ;) , what are the requirements?

"Message not sent. This phrend is no longer available." Does this mean that the person deleted their profile or blocked me?

Are you sure because I got that too but I expected it because I told him off and said I was blocking him.
Could it be just blocking?

I think only Phrendly knows who they pick for it and why so maybe you should repost and ask Jamma. I'd be curious to know also. :-))

Yeah I don't think they ever explained it to us. But they said to remain featured, you had to respond to all messages within 24 hours. I think that was the only requirement.

I imagine there are plenty of us who have least responded within 24 hours who weren't even offered this opportunity. Typical Phrendly.

Quick rant -
I'm lowkey pissed right now. It's just beyond me as to why phrendly would recruit sex workers, to fulfill the demands of the 90+% of their userbase who want nudes etc., and then refuse to approve gifs with the slightest hint of cleavage. Like ??? Come on. Of the hundreds and hundreds of guys I've talked to, MAYBE a dozen were actually looking to date and shit. The rest? Allll sexual stuff. Yet we can't have anything even remotely suggestive in a gif? Beyond me.
Edit - the horrifyingly sexually explicit gif that I screengrabbed pre-unapproval because I just knew it'd get smacked down for the 3/4 inch of cleavage: https://gyazo.com/80a98f9f27e8dd3b5f53dfa16ee77b27

Consider yourself lucky, I still get a ton of guys who want to "date"/meet for sex. It's really frustrating. I've blocked a couple of good customers because they're just delusional. Phrendly's marketing is so confusing for customers, and we have to be the ones to perform the bait and switch lol
I'm surprised that pic wasn't approved! Plenty of girls show cleavage... like how are they measuring what's acceptable vs. what isn't? Is there some kind of cleavage bot algorithm that's auto-approving our pics? :P

Geez, that's obnoxious. I've had a few like that, but I managed to just kinda milk them and then pleasantly send them along their way when they realized that I wasn't going to fly across the country to have sex with them, lmao.
Yeah, I was surprised, too. Especially given that in my original one, I'm literally pulling my shirt down and pushing my tits out - like, that's the main focus of the pic. This one just happened to have some cleavage. I really liked that gif, too, so I'm annoyed that it didn't get approved! :P No clue how on earth they decide - very few things here make sense!

I redid my gif and I was washed out in one pic, so they declined it, citing lighting issues.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK LMAO
HAVE Y'ALL SEEN THE GIFS THE GUYS GET AWAY WITH??
??????
I'm gonna have a damn stroke over here. I really need to change my gif so I can get some new activity, but I'm not going to mess up my skin by putting on makeup and shit when I don't need to. Ugh.

Phrendly has been shit for me lately. Averaged around $1k/week for 2 months, but this month has been awful. I'm going to change my GIF this week, send out messages to long lost phrends, and try unstarring/restarring. I guess it's fine to keep the app on my phone since I can still make a couple hundred a week which helps out.
Hopefully this is just a temporary slow period and things will pick up soon. It seems like Phrendly is slower than usual for everyone, I wonder if there's a direct cause.

I used to do really well on here too. September was my worst month. I'm hoping things pick up. I did get slightly more activity the past few days so maybe they are advertising the site again. I hate having to cam more to make up for the lost income. I really liked being able to text and get gifts while lying in bed in my pjs.
LadyGodga
09-30-2017, 11:26 PM
Lol did they just give up on Phrendly? Seems everyone is having a shit period. September was definitely the worst. I'm about to start camming with MFC and I'm at least excited about that. But it would be nice if Phrendly could revive itself for the extra income. It's difficult to even make payout anymore.

It's so odd to me that it's dying like this in September; I would have thought that things would really pick up around this time since summer is over and all. But yet here we all are, lol, barely making payout or just getting by off of regulars. Weird.
trustfundkiller
10-01-2017, 10:33 AM
I can't say I'm happy that Phrendly has been sucking for everyone, but I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one. If everyone else was banking and I was doing terribly all of a sudden, then I'd know that the problem has to do with me. Now I'm inclined to believe there's an external factor at play.

It's been shit for me too the last month. I'm worried about how this next pay period will pan out (I do the monthly payout cause i'm in Canada). I barely scraped by September what I used to make. It's also nice to know its not only me though... idk whats going on.

10-01-2017, 12:32 PM
Yup, I've never made a ton of money on here, but I could always count on making $10-20 a day at least. Now I'm lucky if I make that in a week. Lots of guys are starring me, but not messaging me.
blondhottie
10-01-2017, 12:45 PM
Hate when they type like 3 messages in a row super fast before I can respond, and then when I respond, I only get credit for 1 message instead of 3!

I did well this past week due to my regulars (except Friday, which is usually a good day for me). I've had a few newbies turn into spenders but haven't been getting many newbies at all these past few days, I don't think. I think that the end of the month is when everyone is like oh crap, bills, and so I'm using the fact that I had a great week as proof that October is going to be amazing. Yep. I also have had a handful of guys who either closed their accounts or I haven't heard from since like, May, coming back.
I think that is just the nature of this site, though. I've had weeks where I thought I was done for and then 2 weeks later I'm bragging to a friend about having my highest earning day ever.
dragonflyy
10-01-2017, 12:51 PM
Well, now that I've complained, I've been getting starred left and right. Just no new messages, so I guess it doesn't mean much, but better than absolutely NO activity at all.
But still, I'm pretty sure I haven't even made payout in a day or two. This is nuts.

Right?? That would be awesome.
I also wish we could send a short blurb with stars - I'm sure it'd get abused by the guys, just sending their contact info, but something where we could make a brief, enticing comment, mention something from their profile, whatever, would be so useful.

Jamma,
I've been using my affiliate link and have friends that signed up but don't see any new drinks credited to my account. Also, when using the affiliate link, it bounces to the joining page but the address bar says 'download_false" or something. I just want to make sure I'm being credited for sign ups.

Kortney, I was having the same issue, and I emailed support about it and it was fixed - though I had to remember specific users that had spent what's actually $15, apparently, beyond the free credit.
