Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
Ask the guy in live help on there - He's pretty quick and very friendly . Search 'live help' In the video hosts , and you can log into free chat with him.... I'm always nagging him.
Remember to choose the 'video host name' when you search and not the room name ( default ) ... The chat host help guy will be near the top of the list , if not number 1.
Hopefully he will be able to tell you the best format to upload your vids.

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
Hrmmm..I might have to revisit ifriends... I have an acct there, and I think did a cpl shows when I first started, but the site was soooo confusing. Then when I checked out out again, they had just moved over to ifriends 2.0, and it was still sooooo confusing!
Ill check it out again now though, its been well over a year...

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
OMG. I fucked up. Yesterday and today I had someone in my paid chat and I didnt know . I simply didnt hear the sound, even though im next to the pc.
This bothers me, becuase im trying to make a good first impression! I wanted to just vent on that, because im upset about it. both customers were legit too.

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
The guy who came in today asked for booty shorts, so i went and got them, I had no clue he could see me, so im adjusting my weave and my dress all awkwardly in the cam. I even had my dress stuck into my boy shorts.
Im fucking embarrassed. I wanna burn my pc. I cant even message them to apologise.

That has happened to me several times. Didn't lose the money, but it's bad for business. And all those stupid tones you can pick when someone comes in your room, or is just watching..how confusing is that? I just set mine to "phone" if someone comes in to paid chat. The rest I pretty much mute because they annoy the crap outta me.
Ifriends has potential, but its full of glitches that admin just ignores or doesn't fix. They really push that stupid supercam too, but it never worked for me. I logged in yesterday for a little bit and gave up after 10 minutes. I was in free>private too and traffic was non-existent. Logged in to SM and IMLIVE (SHOCKER!) and made $70 between both in a little over an hour.

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
^ It's happened to me quite a few times too, I check the page to see people have been in and out - I think sometimes the bell doesn't ring properly ! Really annoying . Looks so bad to the custy typing 'hello, hello , hello' at me , and I'm sat plucking my eye brows completely unaware I'm being watched.

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
I was thinking about joining iFriends and dredged up this old thread. I'm wondering how the site is doing for you these days, and also have what I hope is not a silly question, but...
I've found that my shows are leaning towards GFE and fetish (weird combo, I know). Most of the time, I like to get to know people a little better and build up a bit of a relationship before "performing" for them.
So I am wondering if this site would work for me. If it is a site that would be conducive to building "friendships" or a site where one is expected to... um...get straight down to business?
Oh, and I would be happy to be a sexy friend :)

I'm on there. I run it in the background minimized.
It's good for a little pocket change but most of the top hosts there have moved to Streamate or splitcam and do multiple sites.
I'd starve if I had to depend on them solely for money. They used to have good traffic years ago but not any more.

I'm already doing MGF and MFC a couple days a week, I'm just looking for a couple of other sites to supplement. I don't do SM because I don't want to automatically end up on porn sites, plus, I think the expectation on SM is that you pretty much break out the toys at "hello" so am just wondering if the customers have this expectation on iFriends or do members there also like to find girls that they can "get to know" first.

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
I left ifriends. The traffic just started dying really bad to the point it wasnt even worth it to log on. A CB was also my deciding factor in saying dueces.

Well F, that sucks. It sounded like it might be good for me...but at least I know not to waste my time there now, so thank you.
Back to the drawing board....

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
I've been on IFriends since they first started ... as this 'history lesson' shows ...

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
Melonie....thank you for sharing....that's very interesting. And it does seem like a good place to take your existing customers, considering the incentives they offer. Now you have me thinking.....
I might just give it a try and if I do, I'll use you as my referrer.

Yup absolutely true where 'blind' traffic is concerned

That appears to be the bottom line on IFriends. If you don't already have an external source of pre-existing 'traffic' that you can direct to an IFriends cam page, it's not very likely that 'blind' traffic is going to find you by themselves.

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
I have also been on iFriends since their inception in 1998. It is NOT the site it used to be. Traffic is way down, there really aren't a lot of hosts there anymore and most of our top hosts have jumped ship and took their viewers with them.
Charge backs and declines (or stats that just don't get the D or * by them) are a huge issue also. I would NOT join this site thinking you are going to make a ton. I stay there because I still have guys from 98 visiting me. Not weekly, mind you, but, they still come by and do shows every now and again.

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
The way they explain the 'free sign up ' to guys , is a bit of a con. I used to take my guys there, until I realized that they were actually being charged for their 'free' join . It didn't reflect well on me and my business, so I never refer my guys there anymore.
I'm sure ifriends probably states somewhere in the small print about the charge , but a lot of my guys are either stupid, or in a rush ;-) and I'm not one to rip people off... After copious complaints regarding these charges, I personally stopped promoting them .

They don't actually charge for the free join.
What they do is devious though! When you sign up you have the option to join the VIP membership and it is automatically checked. Of course guys with a hard dick don't read so they usually leave it checked. I also hate how affiliate webmasters will promote the site with free free everywhere, making it look like they are going to get us to perform for free.
That is one thing I despise about this business, and also how most cam sites are promoted on dating sites as if we are there to meet them. I guess that's the nature of the beast but I still don't like it.

Yeah , I guessed it was something sneaky like this - Bad sport ! SMH. I'm straight up with my guys, it keeps my reputation as it stands - crystal clear - I don't need to sneak people into sending me money , and I felt rotten when guys started asking me why they were getting a subscription charge for something I told them was free :(
Laurie - Do you know if we still get the 100% if they go for the purely FREE join - I've never experienced that , it seems I only take 100% when my guys been ripped off in the first place and his join wasn't free....

I don't like that aspect either , I find it a tad unethical >:( , yeah really !
I also don't like the sexy sms ads cropping up in magazines everywhere 'text your postcode to meet local girls '
PFFFFT !

yes they do give the 100% but you have to be absolutely sure they come in from your link and join right from there.
If they click on another webmaster's page they get the credit so it can be very frustrating.

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
I was on ifreinds in 2006, but they banned me for appearing " too young" ( sorry for having round face jeez) never wore pig tails either..
weridos. well money was good id like to try again if their sign ups arent a giant pain.

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
I just signed up there, the site is so confusing.
How does the replay work? Any info would be appreciated.
thanks

Re: Who is on Ifriends :)
Pink Bunny:
Yes, they are weird about not letting those who appear to be too young stay on as chathosts or even approve them. Always been that way for some reason. Even if you have all your documentation proving you are old enough. That is the one thing about iFriends. It isn't as fast and loose as some of these other sites I have been looking at recently. There is no fisting, peeing, pooing, incest, etc on there. You couldn't even use MILF, GILF or the word pregnant in your screen name or online show description until recently!
Recently in the forums, the VCH help guy actually said that if anyone of us knew of a host who was released or not on there anymore to contact them or try signing up again.. I guess they are starting to feel the pinch of others jumping ship perhaps? I would definately go since it has been 5 years ( I would think you look a tad older, no? LOL ) and try signing up again and see what happens. It will probably just be pocket change (and I can't remember if they start the new people out at the non exclusive pay rate still which is only 35%) but, it never hurts these days to have multiple sites to work from.
As for the sign up form, yep, they have that VIP membership ticked automatically which IS NOT RIGHT! BUT, I guess that's there way of snagging an extra $7.95 from the guys immediately and I am sure they are hoping the guy is too dumb to read his statements monthly to see charges he did not expect. They may even now have the Elite membership ticked, not the VIP which runs $9.95 last time I checked. They have a lot of complaints on RoR due to this sneaky tactic. I can't blame guys who get pissy about it and demand their money back (iFriends WILL refund them if they ask) and never return. I signed up for a client account on SM and my card wasn't charged anything. Now, on SM you DO have to pay attention though, because I notice they also have some pre checked *offers* on their site that they will enroll you in after a month.. some dating thing that runs $14.99 a month. I was sure to READ every page and word when signing up for a SM client account before sending my cc info. Then again, I am a female and not a horny guy all excited to see naked ladies. LOL I think these sites depend on the guys to be in such a hurry to see all the pretty women that they will not read the TOS or page they are filling out for a membership!
But, definately try again Bunny to sign onto iFriends. Lord knows we are short hosts over there.. LOL
