Now, I dont sell on there. Have no clue how it all works, but saw this thread on GFY & thought it might be an interest to some of you.

Woah.
Thanks Sam. I was about to upload a new video on there but now I'm second guessing everything. I hope it isn't what it looks like... that would be fucked if they let people buy memberships to sign up and then they could just stream all our videos for free and see blocked previews, and we never see a cent? Not sure that's what that means but "Unlimited downloads of the sexiest vids" kind of throws up a red flag.
Glad I'm not there. I'm exclusive to just Clips4Sale now. i bet this discussion thread will get hot in 3...2...1
I was literally JUST about to sign up on Manyvids to put more eggs in my basket! Totally turned off now, guess I'll have to check out MyGirlFund, Clips4Sale, Customs4U or ELM. Thank you Sam!

"Premium Members have perks on MV:
Access to the MV messenger so that you can send private messages and photos to all of your dream MV girls
Access to using our brand new ManyMotes
Notifications when you get new messages
Exclusive access to watch ALL of the blocked previews
Unlimited downloads on all of your purchases
A premium member badge next to your name to get you noticed"
It seems like the 'unlimited downloads' only applies to purchased videos, I HOPE. Who knows what MV is actually doing...
But wtf girls who want to block their previews can't block it for premium members? Why didn't they tell us this?
Has anyone noticed a customer with a "premium" badge next to his name?
*Edit* Access to the sexiest vids online?? WHAT IS THIS? Please not a streaming service, please!
At the very least this should have been sent out to all store owners & explained in full FIRST.
Hope there is an explanation on the site
These are weird times, lots of companies are not making what they used to & become crooks over night, or at least make you wonder if they were stealing all along only you didn't know about it. Happened to me with Old webmaster, who hates doing solo girl sites, now begging girls left & right to do solo sites with now that he can't steal my money anymore... aka Clint works aka Plumper Pass aka Sensational video... refused for 4 years to let me have access to my stats & traffic data.
Sam
I just signed up them today but haven't uploaded any vids yet..wow...hmmmm
Right? I'm so confused! It seems counterproductive for them to offer a membership and let them stream unlimited videos, and then try and get the models to sell memberships and videos. If it is... then it's definitely crooked AF. I'm hoping that it doesn't mean what it sounds like, and it's what you said.. for their purchased videos.
This is a copy paste of the convo from my twitter feed.

Now, I do NOT have a store on there, but it doesn't make sense to me. The price structure is the exact same as Brazzers, only with Brazzers you get all the videos without an extra payment.
So all you girls & studio owners are out there promoting them, getting them membership sales so that then customers can purchase videos. That is the biz model from what I understand. What amazes me is that no one who has a store on there reailzed this policy.
To a customer this would be misleading, to buy a membership & then have to pay for videos he liked on top of it. To each his own, but seems to me would limit sales in the long run.
Sam
So from what I understand at this point. A store owner has to sell a membership to their sites like the same pay structure like Brazzers, then sell again at your store to make money.
If you promoted a site like Brazzers as an affiliate you would make money off of that sale, on Manyvid, by their tweets you don't.
How much of a percentage of the money do they get when a sale on your store occurs?
Sam
Ughhhhhhhh.
They just responded to me
I've had a store there for a year now and like it though sales are biased entirely towards the most recent highest selling model (always the same people). We get $25 for referring other models, not sure if there's anything for referring guys? I actually don't have a membership option there as I make more off individual sales, but if I hear any more ill let you know. If it turns out their crooked I'll certainly stop promoting them!Quote:
these perks only apply to vids they have already purchased of course.
They are nice enough to tweet replies about this situation that I find all kinds of confusing as a business model. LOL Probably hate me now & how fast I can stir stuff up.
But in general, not for me. Some of you love them, which is great. But should be aware of how it all works, which seems to me many store owners don't.
Smooches,
Sam
No we appreciate you looking out for us Sam :) xx
I made an account there but havent uploaded anything. I'm kind of glad I didnt now. The whole format of everything kind of turned me off. Now I'm definitely not using them..
I make money here. I just sent in a support ticket to find out more. Will post to let all know. Thanks Sam for the heads up!
They've been responding on Twitter. Just a misunderstanding due to a badly worded page by the looks of it, people aren't getting freebies or extras at our expense x

Manyvids responded to my email for a response.
Well I had a friendly customer I met in my cam room tell me that he was able to download one of my manyvid clips for free. When I didn't believe him, he sent me a screen shot of my video with the DOWNLOAD NOW option. I never talked to support about it, mainly because I was really confused. But now this is making sense. Maybe the site really is giving away a free video or 2. I think I'll delete my vids from there today. :O:O
Hey,
The only way this could happen is if the member purchased your vid or rec'd an MVlink from you for this vid.
if you email me [email protected] with his username I would be happy to check into that for you!
Hey,
I am an MV Support Agent, and I would like to clarify some confusion.
Premium members do NOT get any model/studio vids without paying for them. The unlimited downloads apply on PURCHASED vids only. We would never under any circumstance offer vids that belong to our models for free and provide 0 compensation, that's just not the way we do things here.
The perks of Premium memberships are:
• Access to the MV messenger so that you can send private messages and photos to all of your dream MV girls
• Access to using our brand new ManyMotes
• Notifications when you get new messages
• Exclusive access to watch blocked previews
• Unlimited downloads on all of your purchases
• A premium member badge next to your name to get you noticed
As for the free vids offered to members. We provide new member signs ups and any member who purchases $30 or more in content a free vid. We have PROMO only studio accounts set up to offer free vids such as: Brazzers, Twistys, Real Girls Gone Bad etc... These studios do NOT sell content on MV.
Hopefully this clears up the confusion, but as always if you have further questions or inquiries you are welcome to contact our support [email protected] !
Thanks for clearing it up, I didn't comment because I knew it would most likely just be a misunderstanding and not anything sinister on your part.
The only thing I would like clarification of is offering "exclusive access to blocked previews" with premium memberships. I've signed up but haven't started selling yet, (I was going to post some of my older content over the holidays) so i'm not sure how it works. What is a blocked preview? It sounds like girls have the option to not allow customers to see previews and then with premium membership guys can see previews from those girls. Without their knowledge...
Hope this is just a misunderstanding too!
The feature you are refrring to allows Premium members access to previews that are blocked. Please note that only 0.2% of members on MV are premium and since most Premium members are higher spenders, this also increases the chances that they will buy those vids.
This Premium membership feature has been the same since the launch of the website, and the only recent changes have been the update to MV Messenger and the new ManyMotes which are emoticons exclusive to MV.
Thanks for taking the time to clear everything up MV. I'm glad that it wasn't what it sounded like to me, because I really like using your site.
The blocked previews doesn't bother me personally, because to me.. a preview is what can sell a video.
... The only thing I wish that you guys had was an affiliate link for the guys to sign up for a premium membership with you where we would get a percentage of it if they use our link. Think that will ever happen? :)
My pleasure. The last thing we want is for our models and Studios to think that we would do something that would not benefit them.
We are always looking for ways to better the site, and your suggestion is actually very interesting. I will suggest this idea to our admin team on your behalf :)
