Hey Teenage Annie, we do plan to add a content store to your website as one of the options, it will take a few months before it's available. We develop quickly and this is definitely in our to do list. For now your site could link out to C4S or any other service you use. Did you see what loveshooks offers on LiveCamModelShows? Also a very good system, and just like on MC you keep all the rights to your content.

Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
I am very impressed in how fast Model centro is finding & implementing improvements with this program.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO different from what I am used to, tired of having to beg for changes that take years to get done. Took me 4 yrs to get cam added. Bananas.
Love that a model can update as often as they want.
Thank you,
Sam

Sam, if there is anything you need particularly, please drop it in the "ModelCentro wishlist" in the internal forum - and we'll move it up in priority or add to the to do list if it's not there yet. The more hits a feature gets, the faster it'll get done.

How does linking your site affect placement on the Streamate site? Because if you use the external button, your placement drops to like the last pages.

This is true!
I think some are misunderstanding what the external button really does. I have it for website members.
It is intended to allow your website members to watch you free while you do a member's only show. When you turn it on you drop out of sight to the last pages of Streamate. It's great for a perk to get guys to join your member's site but it's going to kill your money on Streamate if you stay with External on. You could use it for a scheduled show maybe once a day but you would not want to stay there.
There is also a way to display your live FREE chat room on an outside site. Guys can go private right from there.
Maybe this would be as better option? (or offer both, the external feature plus the live free chat displayed too)

Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
Do you guys have any plans on integrating with other big box sites or is likely the only integration that will be made?
-
Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
GlamourRouge, Laurielegs I will have to find out about positioning and if it will be affected. Give me a few days here as I need to get a meaningful answer out of SM. :)
LaPetiteVierge, sure we're looking at more partnerships and are interested in integrating more apps. We have reached out to many and are in negotiation with some right now, but at this point it's early to say that we got a positive answer :) you are welcome to lobby for us with your fav site, we are happy to work with every site that at least some amount of models who use MC want to work with.

This is what my impression was of the "external show" option as well. Everything I have heard was that it is used to give a free show to your members on an external site. That's why I was wondering if people viewing on our model centro website would have access to all shows for free.
And as far as the loop hole, I don't doubt model centro has lots of great security features, but I think this is something that can be exploited on Streamates end, just for the fact that you have "external show" running, and not on the end of model centro.
Looking forward to more clarification.

Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
Good day,
Here's what I was able to find out and clarify.
1) Many models on MC who use Streamate do weekly gold shows on SM and also weekly members shows on their site, to save them the double duty we added the option to stream gold shows into the members area so that you can save time and effort. Members of your site will also have the option to go on to streamate and enjoy a private there and SM agreed to put a button on your cammodels profile which upsells to the website membership (payment done in one click, collected by SM and added to your payout on their end).
2) If your room has visitors, it does drop in rating once you turn on external show (AKA ESS), however, the integration isn't made to stream all your shows to your site, only certain ones, and according to SM since this is a private session for those who sponsored the Gold show plus members of your site, such positioning makes sense.
3) Security issues do exist on SM when ESS is on, but I guess the amount of time it is on reduces the possibility of stream being stolen. We are now talking about ways to improve that on SM's end, unfortunately there isn't much we can do on MC's end to ensure security of the stream from SM, so if for you this is a concern and you think you will have users who will specifically track down that 1 particular show a week and try to steal it, might be a good idea to doubletask and hold two shows. There's always an option to not offer live shows on your fansite at all. Although they are a great tool to ensure communication with fans and to urge people to join, this is fully optional and many models simply choose to not do it. You are free to simply promote your cams (SM or others) on your fansite and do all shows outside MC.

Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
This stuff is so exciting, and is making me want to come out of my camming hiatus way sooner than I had planned! lol

Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
I have a model centro site that is connected to streamate. If you want to check mine out I have the link my signature. I haven't added much content yet but I did test out the streamate external show yesterday and it ran smoothly on my site. I think my site looks pretty good for the amount of time I put in it. I love that I can bring customers from streamate because I mostly cam on streamate. I don't think that I could have had a successful member's site without this feature because most of my regulars are on sm and I wouldn't be able to promote my site to them.
-
Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
Thank you for your feedback Hysterical! I really like your site! Great color scheme!
By the way, I noticed that you don't have a link to your SM/Cammodels profile on your site. :) Why not promote your cams on your website? We make no restrictions on that. So please feel free to add it (done through site editor - just select any text and click add link icon) or ask your support manager to do it for you.
P.S. Congrats on your first fans signups on Friday! :)

Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
I was curious to know if modelcentro sites will be mobile friendly at any point? I visit my site and others using my android phone but it doesnt lad properly and jusy overlapses content on the inital warning page and when trying to click enter, it just doesnt work.
-
Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
Hey Lexi! The designs should be mobile friendly already. There's only one skin that's being reworked into fully responsive at the moment that you might have chosen, called Autumn. That should be reworked into adaptive within this week though. All others should resize nicely. I have an android too and never had a problem at all. If you can hit me up to natalie at modelcentro.com with the site url I can take a look at what's not working out right.
-
Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
Natalie I am just curious. I am really interested in your site. I currently have my own website but it doesn't have a members area etc. Would I be able to make a page with you guys and switch my domain over to there? I hope this makes sense. I really love what you guys have to offer :)
-
Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
Hey EvilChick,
Sure you can move your domain to your new site built on MC, not a problem. You are also free to keep both sites if you'd like.
We have had quite a few models move their existing sites and all were quite satisfied. Check us out and see if it works for you - your only cost is a bit of your time.

Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
I'm creating a profile now :) I am really digging this xx

I have my own website too, I set up a subdomain (example: vip.mycamname.com) and point it to my modelcentro site. Also, before I went on my camming hiatus, I had a tab on my website that said "VIP" that went to my modelcentro site. There's lots of options :D
-
Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
Good point Tsani! There is more than one way to do this, and creating a vip. is a great option as it keeps the old site with all its SEO juice and sends visitors to where they need to go - to subscribe and make you more money.

Other Sites? Or is Model Centro the Only Option?
I was really pumped about this opportunity to connect but I can't get my vids to load or photos sets and I have gotten two incredibly rude responses from customer service on what I considered really minor requests that I want to look into something else.
Anyone know of anything else short of actually just creating your own site and going solo?
-
Re: Other Sites? Or is Model Centro the Only Option?
fatoldbroad, please excuse, if you could dm me names of the people who were rude to you and/or ticker number, I could make sure things are set straight. This is not usual of our cs reps, let me look into this please.
-
Re: Twice as nice - Make more money by connecting Streamate and ModelCentro!
Yeah, in my experience, customer service has been really friendly and helpful at modelcentro.

You have to be patient when photos & videos upload. Once you figure out how the system works, it is simple. :) Took me a day to figure out if I was doing it right.
They have been nothing but good to me so far & going far & above what I thought was required.

I haven't tired it lately but i'm pretty sure the exploit still exists. SM dosn't encrypt the web address for your archived or member shows. So if you know one address, you can just change the performer name to access other peoples archived or member shows. So its not really a clever hack or anything its just a "hmm what if I change this name to that other hot girl's name" kind of thing. No genius hacker skills needed.
