Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Just lost my 4th show this week because the CC processor keeps declining cards. When I brought it up to support they said 'it sounds like they are wanting outside payment'....except that NONE of them mentioned paying anywhere else, they got pissed when it denied their cards and just left. So then they hit me with a 'no models have mentioned it so it must not be the processor'....except I'm a model. And I'm mentioning it. I'm losing clients left and right that i cant afford to lose cause of this dumb shit. And its not like i can redirect traffic without getting in trouble. Their advice was to tell them to use a laptop or computer.....which is useless when dudes are leaving before i can even say that, and if they are on their phones, its likely that they arent near a computer, which is the case with this last guy. This is so fucking upsetting. Summer is bad enough without being fucked this way too, and I guess I'm not a high enough earner to warrant it being a problem. So, fuck me I guess. Thats at least $100 down the drain and 4 potential clients lost.

Hello,
I apologize that you feel you were not taken seriously. We take all reports seriously and do not want anyone to feel otherwise. We have recently implemented the same processor that is used on IB along with two others. So, when there is a report of an issue we look at all of the data provided. When reporting payment issues we need their site username or their email address (this one is preferred). We know customers do not always want to share this information with models and in these cases please have them contact us via Skype or email and we will help them as quickly as possible.
I remember your case Dahlia and was the one to help you. I want to personally apologize for making you feel that we did not take you seriously. In your case, I saw no failed attempts and you were the first that day to report any payment issues. Which is why I suggested that they may be lying or paying on a mobile device as the mobile cascade does not always work. In those cases, using the desktop version on the mobile browser seems to always do the trick, unless their bank is blocking the transaction or they have hit their daily spending limit.
Our overall transaction decline average is holding steady, not a major influx or drop in declined transactions. So, when a customer reports a declined attempt please report it to us or suggest they contact us. This way we can see what is happening and come to a resolution.
Best Regards,
The CMD Team

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Is there a price point that seems to work better on this site because I am at $4 per min/Minimum 10 mins and get NO-ONE despite adding a clip to see if that sold (it didnt) and changing pics up. If I am likely to get more clients at $3 I may chaneg the rate

I was at $3 a minute and raised the rate to $4 a minute. It had really helped cut down on the time wasters and good clients will pay the rate.

I have just started to get more customers despite being on here for over a year, but most of them are cheap. I had my rates at $4 and would never get a show. I can only get them at $3 so far, and most people are still extremely cheap! I also have a 10 minute minimum and I had to change that because all I get are requests for 5 minute shows. Seems like the only way to make money on here is to be at $3 and under.

We do not currently have an active business account with Paxum. However, seeing much enthusiasm for this solution we have submitted all documentation this morning.
Additionally, we've reached out to them through different mediums asking for an accelerated procedure if possible - we're awaiting their answer (all payout companies are very busy right now as you may imagine).
Assuming we get our business account activated, we will fund it immediately and offer Paxum as a payout method. Reasonably, there are no reasons why they would reject our application (we never had any issues with any other provider).
Still assuming we get our business account activated, our payout policy for Paxum would be the following:
- Free payouts
- $20 minimum for payout
- Payouts in US Dollars
For those of you who may not know of Paxum, they are a very well established adult-friendly e-wallet provider. Besides the prepaid card, they feature numerous other ways to use your money.
You can check their fee structure there, ways to use your money in the Paxum wallet here and it is available in virtually all the countries.
If you'd like to have Paxum as your new payout method, please let us know by replying to this email if you haven't let us know already.
If you had chosen another payout method and are reconsidering, no worries - let us know all the same.
Kind regards,
CMD Support

Hello Ally... I was considering signing up with your site. I read this post you made about Paxum, but after going through all the subsequent pages of this thread I haven't seen any follow up on how you're going with Paxum. Do you now pay via Paxum?
I use Paxum to receive payment for other sites I work on. I noticed on your model application page you mention FirstChoicePay as your payment method, but as far as I know, that has closed down. I used to have a FirstChoice card prior to their demise in April.

I specialize in only fetish shows and I wont do a show under $4 a minute with all the stuff they request. If they want a five minute show, charge them $20 for it. That seems to be the common rate on there for five minute shows. The issue on there is you have performers doing shows for $1.50 to $2 a minute. When you allow cheap shows on your site, it will attract cheap customers. All indy sites need to make shows at least $3 a minute across the board.

I didn't lower the fetish rate. I'm definitely firm with those prices. I had a few time wasters today and a lot of cheap negotiators, but I refuse to stoop to that level. The 5 minute shows irritate me. It's barely worth it.

If I could like this post multiple times I would. The cheaper the rates the more cheap guys it attracts and the lower quality a site feels in general. A minimum base rate of $3 per minute for Skype shows would go a long way towards eliminating this.

There's a lot of performers on there charging $2 a minute or under. Ive seen a lot of new studio performers on there all with the same profile design and all charging dirt cheap rates. They also stopped doing interviews to verify they people are even real or are even the ladies in the pics. All sites need to have standards, if they dont thats when they crash and burn

You say they stopped doing interviews. I just had a good look through their signup procedure and they say they do an interview. I'd be happy if they don't.
Also, I tried to get an answer earlier. In their signup info they say they pay via FirstChoicePay. Do you know if they use Paxum.

Yeah they stopped doing them for months, not sure if they are doing them again now or not. They did a Skype interview and made sure you were the person in the pics you use and talk to you a bit. It was fast and simple and much needed since so many guys cry they are scammed from fake pics on several indy sites. Yes they have Paxum as a payment

Hello,
Since I have been involved and prior, we have always done interviews. If there are models using photos that are not their own, please report and we will handle it. We have had several cases in the past few weeks of models using photos that are not their own and we have removed the photos and notified the model.
As far as studios go, yes there are a couple of on sight studios who have admins set up and design the girls profiles and they take professional photos at their studios. This is not against policy as long as a mode does not blatantly copy another model’s content without consent. When this happens we do remove the plagiarized content and notify the model.
Thank you,
The CMD Team

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Can we sell videos that include light choking or a belt around the neck?

More money + all tax deductible. SCORE! Great site.
May I ask what your rate is? I really want this site to work for me and it just isnt at the moment.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
How well do people tend to do with clips on here?

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Hello,
Light choking (this is a gray area) is fine as long as it is made very clear that it is consensual. The use of the belt, again, it would need to made very clearly that it is consensual and that the content of the video is not depicting any type of non-consensual role-play. Also, if these videos are with other performers, be sure we have their ID's on file before posting the content for sale.
Thank you,

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Out of curiosity, are you guys advertising CMD pages offsite?
I'm wondering because lately I've had quite a few guys adding me wondering where to pay, how to pay me etc. None of them are genuine clients or anything so it could just be an abnormal influx of freeloaders 'playing dumb' but it got me wondering if possibly they found my Skype ID somewhere that was NOT CMD. Some of them don't (or at least, pretend they don't) know what CMD even is and aren't forthcoming about having found my Skype ID on any other indie sites like SkyPrivate.
Just wondering if there's a method to these guys showing up or if it's mere coincidence.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I’m having quite a few guys who are unable to pay because their credit cards aren’t working. These are legitimate customers and it’s very frustrating.

I have several clips on here and have only sold 1. Has anyone else noticed how dead this site has been lately? I used to get contacted daily and now nothing.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Anyone else just having nothing but time-wasters contacting you through CMD? I'm only doing about 3 shows a week (if that) on there. When I first joined, I was killing it. Now? it's dead for me. I feel like things have changed when the site's payment processor dropped them.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Today and yesterday I had customers saying they could not get their payments to go through. I have seen increased traffic to my profile, but those that message me are mostly time wasters.

Hello,
We have actually had two of our best months in sales during August and September of this year. We have had an influx of traffic and with that brings timewasters unfortunately. Our traffic and sales are back up and have exceeded where were before the payment processing issues in June 2017.
We are sorry to hear you are not having the best experience recently and would be happy to talk with you via our support Skype to discuss ways to improve your overall site experience.
Thank you,
CMD Support
