Thanks so much for your help. I already changed the age range. I'm wondering if you guys also have maxxed out the guys to star? I mean could I really have gone through 40,000 so quickly?

Hmm, idk. I joined a year ago, and there was less than 100 pages of guys at the time, so it has been pretty easy for me to stay on top of starring as long as I check in every now and then.

I just wanna know why the snapshots I took recently weren't approved. Smh. I wasn't topless/nude or anything like that. It was just me chillin' on the bed smiling. After several attempts of taking snapshots that I was pleased with, I went with those...and now they're not even in my Phrendly admin at all. Not cool at all.

Did you have a clear front view of your face? This happened to me too.. I had a side view on my third picture and they rejected it. So annoying that it doesn't save and allow you to edit it or something.

I think I remember reading upthread that for us girls, we aren’t allowed to have a bed or anything that looks like a bed in our pictures. Maybe that’s the issue. *shrugs* I don’t think they know their rules from day to day though.

I'm pretty sure they don't allow any photos where it's obvious that you're in a bed, such as pics where you're lying down. I've taken most of my GIFs sitting on my bed with my headboard in the background but it wasn't really apparent that I was in bed. I'm not sure what the exact rule is, but it is something like that.

Has anyone found a way to sell clips on Phrendly now that Google drive no longer allows nudity? Also, how would we sell videos without jeopardizing our account? I'm guessing e-mail is a no-go since it can technically be considered exchanging personal contact information.

I haven't tried this so can't vouch for it but maybe a self destructing file sharing service would work. Something like this but I'm pretty sure there are a lot of similar services. Just don't know which is best for privacy https://www.file.io . Another idea would be selling gifs on imgur?

Lol, so this guy is trying to persuade me to go off the app. I tell him it's against the rules. He goes on with the usual, "No one will find out. I've had girls text me on my real number before and nothing happened." I explain that I'm not comfortable with breaking the rules. He goes on to offer me $50 to get off the app, but it gets better...
He says if my account was banned, he would give me $100 to make up for it. :yikes:
Yeah, that's a good deal for me. Let me ruin a side hustle that brings in a few thousand a month so I can make a quick $150 and sext all day with some creeper free of charge. ::) That's logical.
Boyyyy, I want what he's smoking. He actually did send me champagne, a bouquet, a chocolate box, and balloons throughout the duration of our chat so I can't say too many bad things about him.

I think Phrendly should check out if they are truly policemen or not or are legally able to wear a cop uniform. I know in their TOS I don't think it's allowed. Or on Chaturbate I know it isn't for sure. Guys
might be doing it to try to intimidate us or be funny. It's easy to buy a uniform or borrow it from a friend.

Yup. People always tell models it's good to update your photos and this and that, but it's annoying when you attempt to do so, and the site wants to reject them. I was in a "Gonna take some selfies!" mood (which doesn't happen that often with me...lol), but I guess that was a waste.

But the pics I've had up already actually show me laying back in a bed.

They removed a GIF I had for 10 months one day out of the blue and told me it was "too dark". When I asked them how my GIF could be fine for so long and then all of a sudden there's a problem, support said sometimes they make "mistakes" when approving pics. So, basically, at the end of the day ...there are no hard set examples that support the "rules". It's frustrating. All you can do is get all dolled up again and bang out a new one.

Send them a message like, "Hey, what's up?" or ,"Hey, how've you been?" with a smiley face thrown in there. That's what usually works for me.

That's a great feature but it doesn't go back far enough. I have regulars who aren't on there as it only lists about 8 people. (and out of those some may not have worked out) I tried setting it to people who only spent $1 but it doesn't list more when I do that either. So I have to do the work of going back in my list and seeing where they are as some could be a month or 2 months back and they move on to others but come back once in awhile.
NOTE: mine didn't work properly. After this i went and set it to ALL and $1 in earnings and at least 7 more people came up. So make sure you press ENTER after you change it or nothing will happen.

The feature purposely surfaces phrends you haven't contacted within a specific time window (5-90 days, IIRC). Beyond 90 days, they're unlikely to respond. This is why you should use this feature regularly, so that no phrends go uncontacted for too long.

I hadn't even thought about that! I haven't received a message from one yet, I'm sure they're thinking we'll message them first (ha) but maybe I should report them to Phrendly since it's against TOS. Illegally impersonating an officer, I completely forgot!

My favorites are the bios that ask for a gift in exchange for a dick pic. LOL! :biggrin: I admire the kid's entrepreneurial spirit, but somehow the demand is lacking. Or, there's a guy who I believe has already been called out here, who claims to be a "sugar daddy" in his bio and asks girls to message him if they're serious about finding a SD. In theory, a great way to make $10. Hopefully no one is actually naive enough to fall for that.

I don't think Phrendly has updated their platform to accommodate same sex connections yet, because they are working with "limited resources" which I find odd since they are owned by Niteflirt. Phrendly easily costed at least a few million to start, but they cut costs on sexual preferences?
But yes, men who are trying to work the "you pay to talk to me" angle would have better luck with a primarily gay demographic. Women just don't pay for this sort of thing the way men do.
Discodolli
05-14-2018, 04:58 PM
Ohhh damn seriously?! That's sad. I mean I knew they were excluding us bisexuals, but I thought it was because the platform doesn't allow you to have connections with both genders!

You can connect with same gendered people. I have a guy friend who signed up for men seeking men. But he didn’t make much money off the gay crowd.

Does anyone have any tips on how to maximize your earnings with this app? I’ve been starring people nonstop since I signed up and so far only one guy wanted to have a short conversation lol. How do you advertise on external sites and are able to get guys to sign up and message you?

Unfortunately there's no easy way to direct traffic from outside. You could use a name you use outside so fans will recognize you, but afaik users can't search for you. They'll have to just recognize your name if they run across you. (Edit: this is false, check out the reply below which corrects this information). Be sure to take a cute sexy profile pic gif and make sure the first shot can stand alone because sometimes the gif won't work. Also add external photos (you can do it from Instagram or fb). If there are any specific things about your personality or kinks you can try to get it across with these photos. You can't write much on your profile but be sure to make good use of emoticons and convey both that you are an interesting person and you are down for sexy fun. But it's a fine line to walk because many guys on there want to maintain the fantasy that you do this purely for fun not money so I'd try to make your profile appeal to those guys too (unless you do something really specific like femdom then this probably isn't necessary.) So consider this also when choosing your pics. I found it helped a lot when I included words like kink friendly etc to signal the kinds of things I'm into. Hope this helps.

Basically. If you make over $20,000 you will be sent a form but of course you should report your earnings regardless.
Sometimes I crack myself up with the things I put in the “note to self” things under the guys names
“nasty licky vid chat guy”
“threesome virgin guy”
“Random mechanic dude who wants me to relocate”
“Poopy dildo daddy kink guy” (I would like to clarify that he’s the one with the poopy dildos, not me :p)

Hm???? ;)
