SM Gold Club
I asked SM about the Gold Club feature and they responded to me quickly telling me they would love if I tried out this "new feature". Not sure how new it is but anyway, I was wondering for those of you that have the Gold Club:
What do you charge for membership?
What discount do you give for shows?
How much content do you upload? Do you add new stuff monthly/weekly/never?
I had my own solo model pay site before I had my kids, and my hubby runs several solo model sites, so I know how traditional sites like that go, but I'm not sure what members expect in this kind of format.
Suggestions?

Re: SM Gold Club
I had one last year, I charged $18.99 for membership. Streamate should send you guidelines on how much to upload. It's something like you have to blog everyday and upload 2-3 pic sets and 4-5 videos per month...I think...my guys joined left and right...

Re: SM Gold Club
I've never heard about this before.
Do we get a cut from their membership fees?
Honestly, I don't see much of a point if they already can view our vids on the site, see pics of us..other than the blogging and a discount.
I had a discount club over at imlive and most guys didn't even join it! Some did, but then they would abuse it with really quick privates at the discounted rate.

Re: SM Gold Club
Never heard of this "Gold Club".
How does it work and how much do we get out of it?

Re: SM Gold Club
Its the same cut as the rest of SM, 35%, but you can choose how much you want to charge for a monthly membership and I think you can choose how much of a discount they get too.

Re: SM Gold Club
Yes they said that you can choose how much you want to charge monthly and how much of a discount is given. Also that you make 35% off the membership fee just like you do on the private chats.
They didn't say though any specific requirements on how much or how often you had to add content. Just that when I get back to them they will enable it and I can begin to add content and when enough is added they will activate it.
All I did was email them and ask to have it and they said that after reviewing my account that I was approved for this feature. Not sure what goes into the "review process" though.

Re: SM Gold Club
I have it linked to my membership site. So I just mention it when I'm online and don't do anything else different. They do take more than a normal affiliate, but then they are handling the billing and have a ton of traffic.
I need to be online more in general *sigh*

Re: SM Gold Club
So...can any of you awesome ladies let us know how much content you need to get this started?
-
Re: SM Gold Club
at first you have to contact them to make it for you. then they will tell you how much and what you have to upload. it was pretty much as far as i remember. then, once all is done and its active, you have to upload a video (at least 3 mins), a photo set and write at least 4 diary entries each week.
i had that gold club for almost a year, kept it active etc etc, but at least for me it was too much work for nothing - during this year i had only two members joining that gold club. so i stopped uploading. i guess its not active anymore. ive heard it works for some, but didnt really work for me.

Re: SM Gold Club
Figure its more of a thing for girls with lots of regulars? Not sure if I have enough of a fan base for it but I emailed them about it anyways......anyone have any input on if they prefer this or MGF? I'm assuming its a good alternative seeing as how its almost impossible to send SM traffic in that direction since promotion of an other site is a huge no no

Re: SM Gold Club
I've considered asking for gold club, but it just seems like a LOT of work for minimal profit....then again, I don't really have a lot of spare time to be creating loads of content, so its not something that I am willing to put a lot of time into.
I think that if you had a big fan base, it would work..
-
Re: SM Gold Club
i feel like its a lot of work for what you get out of it.
if your going to spend all that time taking pics and making videos i think you would be able to make a lot more somewhere else.

Re: SM Gold Club
Do we know if being a member of the "gold club" will affect your placement on the site?
-
Re: SM Gold Club
I definitely want more info on the Gold Club. I doubt I qualify yet but it could be good.
-
Re: SM Gold Club
Yeah its the same cut which sucks to be honest. I think thats nothing for a membership. They sent me the info a while ago. I'd be interested to know if it affects placement though. That may sway me the other way....
-
Re: SM Gold Club
My experience was that guys were pretty spendy with it, they seemed to enjoy the extra stuff. My issue was that I couldn't keep up with all the blogging and extra content I had to create in addition to my regular member site....
-
Re: SM Gold Club
this sounds like a fanclub. i like the sound of this. i will def be asking for it and will see how this goes.
-
Re: SM Gold Club
They gave me mine, I just haven't added any content to it so it's not live yet.
-
Re: SM Gold Club
just heard back from SM, they want me to tell them what i would charge for the membership fee and what discount percentage i would give to my members for shows and then they said they would activate it for me. what are some good numbers to throw out there for this?
my prem $3.64 and excl is $4.64-that is my going rate so far on shows.

Re: SM Gold Club
Hmmmmm but if ppl joined the site through your cammodels link THEN joined your Gold Club would you then get 75% of the Gold Club sale?
-
Re: SM Gold Club
Never even knew they had this!
-
Re: SM Gold Club
They told me they set me up for this but when I follow the link they gave me it just takes me to my regular profile page? I don't see anything when I log in that lets me upload videos to it either. *confused* lol
-
Re: SM Gold Club
^^no ur talking about ur cammodels link. u automatically get that when u become a model on sm. u get 75% from guys signing up through the link. but in order for gold club to be activated, u gotta ask them for it.

Re: SM Gold Club
Hm. I'm totally going to write them about this. I wonder what would happen if you lowered rates for your members significantly and raised your normal rates.
