Things that affect you positively:

- Length of interactions with your phrends
- A good GIF. Objective measurements like how many chats are initiated vs your profile views and left vs right swipes are considered in determining “good”
- Accepting call and videos and the rate with which you connect when an attempt is made
Things that affect you negatively:
- Slow and/or non-responses to messages
- Short interactions with phrends
- A lower-than-average call or video success rate
- A higher-than-average percentage of people that block you
- A higher-than-average percentage of people that chargeback after interacting with you
In addition, there is a small and temporary boost to new profiles, as analysis has shown some “new blood” mixed with familiar favorites is important to keep repeat customers. New people fade quickly if they aren’t successful in the above categories.
Hope this helps!
I totally think you guys should set up a twitter where both customers and girls can interact with you. Promote girls on there. Cause your twitter only has like 58 followers since I checked yesterday.

I can't do calls or video either cause I have a baby. Plus I'm always in my pjs, most likely unshaved, and stuffing my piehole with taquitos.

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
I kinda wanna start a phrendly blog that details how to succeed on the site and really bring in good income from it. Girls can give their advice on what works for them and resources. Just a plethora of info on the site strictly appealing to girls and helping them to make more. Girls can ask questions about it and what not to appeal to helping them earn more. Would anyone be interested in a concept like that? I would love to see all the girls on here do the best they can and I really want to keep improving because of the earning potential on here. I feel like i'm always looking for more resources and shit. Especially for advertising.

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
Yup, I totally deserve to be penalized for the 100 conversations I've had that go like this:
"Hi, how are you?"
"I'm great. You?"
"Pretty good. So where do you live?"
"I live in Canada."
"Oh. Do you have Snapchat/Kik/Facebook/a telephone number?"
"I'm sorry, no."
<crickets>
The guys don't know what the site is, they don't understand the premise and you are punishing us for sending us guys who are only interested in breaking the rules. I'm not sure how much charm and feminine wiles you expect me to be able to put on display in 3-5 messages to get them to sign up to a site which will not give them what the want: a date or a hookup.

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
I haven't given up yet. Maybe I should start just trying crazy things. Respond to my next 10 first messages with just a picture of my bare tits. When they ask me how I'm doing, say "Terrible! I'm so horny and have no one to play with!". Send them only Sphinx-like cryptic riddles in the hopes that sheer curiosity makes them add money to their account. Talk using only quotes from Adam Sandler movies. Just copy the sentence "Call me, I'm about to cum!" over and over again.
Because, clearly, what I have been doing isn't working.

I strongly believe we shouldn't be penalized. Cam sites I've worked on don't have penalties other than inactivity and not earning money or just poor connection. The penalizing system is unjust. I think they should go by ACTIVITY, earnings and response speed. Everything else is too extra. Reward the girls that invest their whole life into this site. They are the ones with MOST earning potential. Could you imagine how much those girls would be making if Phrendly boosted them? Activity is a big fucking deal.

I would not be surprised to hear about chargebacks, and, as noted previously, I absolutely cannot do calls/video chatting at this time, so that counts against me. Just keep swimming, as they say.
Yeah but it might really hurt girls who are really struggling on the site. A lot of us started in like February when it was brand new so I do believe we had an advantage. It's going to be a little bit harder for those that may be newer to the site to bring themselves up. However, jamma did mention new girls get a little boost... maybe starting an account over would be beneficial to some. I'm not sure if it's allowed though.

And I don't use the calls or video, but I know it's also not a girl's fault again if the customer is cheap and only calls for a few minutes when they are already close to climaxing. Guys do chargebacks to be cheap all the fucking time in this industry. Again, not our fault. I don't understand why the girls are being penalized for that and their placement suffers. That's a heavily unfair algorithm for us because it's things that are out of our control. You said in your first post phrendly attracts wealthy men. Where are they???? I have only had one man spend well on me of a good amount of people. The rest of them give me their number or only interact with me until their 5 bucks is up AND THEN give me their number. You guys need to help us as much as we help you. Maybe get better traffic. Help us find ways to market ourselves without having to go to other sites where we eventually get removed for advertising. We HAVE to advertise because it's honestly where all my good traffic has come from thus far.
exactly.
if i dont advertise i dont make money because the custies are cheap af.
i HAVE TO lead these guys on to make money because phrendly advertises on frackin FB...vanilla af.
also its not our fault if guys are cheap or dont follow rules.
some girls cant take calls or videos but they are penalized for it? why????
i dont mind bringing my own custies to the site, but just like SM, advertising needs to be better if u want us to try and adhere to rules. also, consider that some of ur rules might not work...even on cam i pretend with some custies that we will "meet" but they know its not possible...they just want me to play along so they can cum harder.

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
This is my last post on this forum.
Phrendly has let me down in a big way, which is sad to say because I have talked nothing but good things about them since I started in January. I was JUST starting to get my ducks in a row, develop a savings, live comfortable, but now being pushed back into the further distance im giving up hope. Jamma doesnt respond to my pm's, and support gives me generic bitchy responses. Things are flawed and I feel like they dont care about the girls on this site.
I made $400 on page 12 yesterday, why should phrendly deserve a cut of that when they pretty much shoved a dry dildo in my ass?
Anywhos, Ill work till I no longer make money. Then RIP Phrendly and I hope nobody else gets fucked over like I did.

I do have to say, on a lighter note... some of those ideas sound fun. The cryptic riddle thing could probably work. Sometimes being off the wall like that connects really well with some of these guys.
I'm sorry if I came off like I was upset. Just kind of frustrated. I feel like I'm pretty good at what I do, but I don't have the chance to do much in only 3-5 messages and since I'm on page 13-18 I don't get very many new messages and there doesn't seem to be much of a way to change that. So far, I haven't been able to convert even one guy into more than a $12 conversation and I've only ever received on gift. Clearly, my hustle isn't doing it for this site and Phrendly doesn't seem inclined to help me succeed. I'm on the site all day every day, responding as instantaneously as I can. Short of changing my gif over and over, I'm not sure what I can really do besides start trying crazy conversational openers.

I won't say who but... let's just say there is someone who did have two accounts and it's a big no no.
Oh god no, not two accounts. I mean like starting over completely and deleting your old one. Which I'm still not sure if even that is allowed.

My greatest advice is string them along. If they ask for your snap, tell them you have so much more to offer on here that will totally benefit them. Someone said play a game with them like telling them that you added them and being like "are you sure you didn't get it? I just sent it again". It may seem wrong, but it's more wrong they are violating policy and trying to get freebies with you while you're doing your JOB.
I mean do these guys really think we willingly sit on our laptops all day just to talk to a peter griffin look a like for free???

Yeah, jamma never responded to my PM on here either, which is disappointing. That's so awesome that you're making a few hundred dollars in one day on this site! I hope you don't stop posting on this forum though. :( *Hug*

and sharing links..the links ARE MY MOTHER FUCKING VIDEOS THAT I SELL.
So All in all.
Im PISSED.
I got in trouble too for "scamming a guy." But it's hard when the guys only want to meet you in person or want to talk off the app. I go to a lot of trouble to keep them on the app, but they won't let up. They don't understand that this isn't a dating app and that's it's online only. It's so frustrating. I'm sorry girl:/

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
cant believe it is possible to get in trouble for "scamming a guy," IS THE GUY GETTING PUNISHED FOR TRYING TO MEET THO?! For trying to purposefully LEAD us off the site????
....sorry for the caps but wtf. ugh.
i have no intentions of meeting these dudes!! i'm no newbie lol

A few guys have stopped talking to me, but let's face it, they would have anyway. I just hope and pray no one reports me for being a scammer when I am coming clean and trying to do the right thing. It's like this whole new game I have to figure out now, haha. A little fun in a way. I always did worry I was gonna lead the wrong guy on and invoke some righteous anger... ha.
Edit: Okay nevermind one of the guys pretty much told me to go die in a fire and that I won't find anyone who is going to treat me like the queen that I think I am. :)
Meanwhile in the House of I Don't Give a Shit, a queen pops open a non-digital bottle of champagne and laughs as she lounges on her fancy new tempurpedic mattress that Guys Like Him bought.
Girl!!! You might have just saved my night with this! Lmfao! That's such a me thing to say!

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
If anyone gets an older white guy with the username Hope, block him. This dude messaged me and wanted to video chat. We literally chatted for a minute and then it disconnected. I messaged him back and forth for 2 days and the conversation was 100% depressing. I was being very nice and supportive and tried to talk to the guy and he kept speaking in riddles and being completely negative. Every time I talked to him, he brought my entire mood down. He seems extremely depressed but he is in complete denial about it. Idk what his issue is. I was sympathizing and offering to lend an ear if he needed someone to talk too and he gave me attitude because I used a damn emoji in one of my messages. He said I was being rude and he blocked me. I have never been blocked on here and that pissed me off so I reported and blocked him. No matter what I did or said, he was 100% negative towards it.
Idk what's wrong with him, but if he messages you, he's a waste of time. His attitude is awful! I'd honestly rather deal with dick pic sending creeps than someone like this guy again.

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
So Phrendly randomly pulls my profile and asks me to change my gif. The gif they approved 2 months ago, that was in pending for a month. So I'm guessing cleavage is 'inappropriate' and suggestive? But they have a ton of shirtless guys on their site. Hmmm.

Yup, they're "cracking down". I tried changing my gif. I had cleavage showing but mostly it was my face and me smiling and they denied it. It's turning into some real PG shit on phrendly but i guess it's totally fine for guys to be shirtless in their gif.

I had the same GIF for the past 6 months and they unapproved it on Thursday. No cleavage allowed anymore I guess?
