NOTE: !NTERNETM0DELING.COM STANDS FOR "INTERNET MODELING.COM" (no space) THEY AND ALL REFERENCES TO THEM ARE BANNED FROM STRIPPERWEB SO THEIR FULL NAME CANNOT BE POSTED HERE
I wanted to give a concrete example of how studios are a scam by using the guidelines written out
here. Since Internet modeling.com is easily the most popular online studio scam, we'll use them*:
1.
Lack of straight answers - rule 6: !nternetm0deling is a studio for Streamate.com. They work exclusively with Streamate.com and no other website. They will not directly tell you this in their ads or
even on their website.
2.
Lack of straight answers - rule 6: They list the "websites" in their "huge" network
here. All of those websites are Streamate.com. All of them. They are white labels for streamate. Notice how they all look alike and have the same models as Streamate.com just with different colors? A white label is basically an industry term for 'rebranding a website to make it appear different to consumers without changing the site's actual content'. It is the online equivalent of dumping out a package of M&Ms (or Smarties) and then putting the same product in a package called "Yum Yums". Even though it is called something else, Yum Yums are still M&Ms right? Right. Using this analogy, Yum Yums are just a white label for M&Ms. That "huge network"? Just white labels (Yum Yums) for Streamate (M&Ms). So again, Internet Modeling.com just works with Streamate.com, their network are just white labels of the exact same site...
that you will still automatically appear on when you sign up for streamate directly.
3.
Payout percentages - rule 5: Internet Modeling.com will tell you you earn 0.80 / 1.00 a minute. 0.80 is for premium or group sessions (so you can have multiple users in your room), and 1.00 for exclusive or private sessions (so it is just one-on-one). What they are not telling you is where that figure comes from. They are charging 3.99/4.99 a minute to your customers to earn that figure, so you are earning 20% (net) from what they charge. Also be aware that you cannot change your pricing when you work for Internet Modeling.com.
Does 0.80 (group) / 1.00 minute (pvt) sound good? OK. Then how does 1.40 and 1.75 a minute sound? Better? One figure is larger than the other, right?
By working for Streamate.com directly you'd be immediately earning more from Internet Modeling.com's prices, you earn 35% a minute by working for Streamate.com. You earn 20% per minute working for .com. You can also charge higher than 3.99 / 4.99 a minute if you work on your own. You can even charge lower if you wanted as well. The range on streamate can be 0.99 to 14.99 a minute if you work independently.
Be aware that some agents for !nternetM0deling.com are starting to just straight up lie and say you earn 80% because .com is the highest paying modeling agency. This is utter and complete
bullshit. Regard everything a studio agent tells you as a
lie until you get a contract. One agent I confronted said they charge 0.99 a minute for premium (group chat) and you earn 0.80 so that is where the 0.80 figure comes from........................ not true.
4.
Payout percentages - rule 5: They will tell you you earn
up to a 30% bonus if you earn 2K a week through them. Now focus on "up to". "Up to" does not mean "you will be paid 30%!", it means they can pay you between 0.000001-30% extra and still count it as a bonus. Also bear in mind if you earn 2K through Internet Modeling.com, you earned 20% (net) of what they are charging customers.
So if you earned an actual 30% bonus (not "up to" but let's be optimistic and say they gave you a full 30%) for that week for what you netted, you'd be getting $600 "extra".
Sound good?
Well, let's look at the math. Bear with me for a minute.
So if you earned 2K through Internet Modeling.com, you earned 10K gross for Streamate.com... which means you would have earned $3500 if you worked independently. You'd be working without the promise of a bonus, but you'd also automatically have $1500 weekly if your output is always 2K weekly on !nternetM0deling.com.com.
$2600 (highest possible bonus from 2K on Internet Modeling.com) vs $3500 (guaranteed from streamatemodels.com)
or
$2000 (guaranteed from !nternetM0deling.com.com if you earn it) vs $3500 (guaranteed from streamatemodels.com if you earned 2K on )
If you had to choose between $0 and $1500, you'd choose $1500. If you had to choose between $600 and $1500, you'd choose $1500. Even if it isnt disguised as a 'bonus'.
BTW, that possible "bonus" of $600 are just funds that they earned off of you that they are recycling back as an invested reward. It is *your* money and the money of other scammed camgirls cloaked as a reward... that is a ponzi scheme tactic which is why Im not using the word scam lightly.
These figures are demonstrating just one example of the vast gulf that a 20% and 35% difference creates. Even if I adjusted for different PPM figures or volume or group privates or gross %s or any other variable - working independently will always result in more money in your pocket
Working directly wins every time.
*I mostly posted this because Internet Modeling.com is so popular that this post is getting buried in google searches for ".com scam or fraud" and wanted to throw in more SEO keywords and links, lol
