Can you promote your cammodels link to non-menbers in your chat?
If you have free chat enabled on SM (where guys can see your show and type stuff without being a member of SM) is it
a) worth it
b) against the rules of SM
to tell them to sign up using your cammodels link?
They are already on the site, but they aren't actually members yet.....I know it violates the spirit of the thing (theoretically you should get more money because you drove them to the site, not the SM advertising channels, and obviously if they are already there, the SM ads did the work...), but is it actually against the rules? Or is there a loophole, where if someone signs up through your link, but their IP address has already been logged on the site, it doesn't count?
At the moment, I just minimize the free chat and ignore it, but I was thinking about saving a message and occasionally posting it in there - something along the lines of "if you want me to chat back, sign up FREE through....".
Anyone have any thoughts?

Streamate says there is NO REASON to promote your cammodels link to people who have already found the site. Including users who are in the no-cc area.
Also, I don't know how worth it it would be, I dont' know what the conversion rate is for those free guys.

Since there is no extra $ offered for getting them to buy credits I'm not seeing how it's worth it since they are mostly broke and/or freeloaders.
I feel there should at least be a bonus for getting them to buy for the first time, but we get nothing extra.

MR, I see your reasoning, and it WOULD be lucrative if it worked, but like drea said, SM has a very strong statement against this practice somewhere in their model terms of service. Of course I can't find it now that I am looking for it... grrrr.... :-(

Dern. I assumed that they probably would have a rule against it, but I couldn't find it either!
I wonder how they would KNOW....

Under the Tips/Tutorials section on SM:

We have developed a site - yourcamnamehere.cammodels.com - where you will notice your profiles are also located - this site is for YOU! CamModels gives you a way to promote yourself to fans and earn more from your premium chats!
How CamModels Works
On CamModels you will have your own page: yourcamnamehere.cammodels.com. You can use this page to promote the site to *NEW* potential members. If they sign up from your page, they become your lifetime customers on CamModels! Send new members and earn more! Every time your members come to see you, you will earn an additional 40% from your premium chats. As an added bonus, you will earn an additional 20% for all other premium chats your member has on the site, no matter who they chat with!
Remember, this is in addition to your regular earnings. With CamModels you will earn an extra 40% for premium chats with your new members! You will see your CamModels earnings in the "my earnings" section of your account.
What Not To Do
Do not promote CamModels to Existing Members! There is no reason to use any site name while live on cam! Doing so will result in your account being closed and payments withheld.
It is very important that you understand that Cammodels.com and Streamate.com are the same site, only different programs. Therefore, you cannot send members from Streamate or affiliated sites to CamModels. If you attempt to do so, we will permanently deactivate your account on both sites and withhold payments.
Bottom line, if the member is already in our system you cannot have them join CamModels. If you do, you will lose your account. You also may not promote CamModels while live on the site. This is for external promotion only.
As a performer you may have a customer base built up; you can use the CamModels program to promote yourself to your past clients if you wish, but make sure they are not already a member of the site! Another way to find new members is to search the internet while you are not performing live, to look for singles message boards, chat rooms, or dating sites and promote yourself there. Remember that every person that joins CamModels through your page is a lifetime earning opportunity for you!

Duh... thanks Evelyn!!! I knew I had seen that a few weeks ago (while searching for the 'no pets on cam' clause, which I STILL have not located), but I could not for the life of me re-find it today. Muchas gracias!

Thanks! Sometimes the info is so hard to find! Is it in tips? tutorials? FAQ? Terms of service? Agreements? I would never have thought to look for it in tutorials....
