    I applied, was told to go online, then asked for MORE paperwork.
    Too much hassle to sign up.

    I have an account there, but alas...haven't worked it yet. The sign-up process in a lot more involved than other sites, but if it makes you money, why not take the time and just do it?

    I have had "real jobs" where I have had to 1. Go on intial interview 2. Go back for aptitude test in math and typing (which could be up to 2 hours long!) 3. Go back to fill out tons of paperwork for FBI background check 4. Get called back after I pass above mentioned check, and pick up paperwork for drug test 5. Drive to a lab within 24 hours to take drug test 6. FINALLY get a call with a start date after test results are clear! This can take 4-6 weeks when all is said and done! WHEW! ifriends paperwork was a breeze compared to what I've dealt with out there, lol

    I am there,weekly pay is great. You charge by the min and you can choose if you want Free to Private OR Private only which means the second they are in your room they are paying. NO ONE can be in your room if you are set to PT only unless they are paying. So make sure you read the options carefully,they can be confusing and trust me, there are those that get all pissy just because they THOUGHT were set up for PT only when in fact they choose the wrong option. This is the option is you want PT only w/o free chat:

    Option #2 - Standard Plan
    Customers pay following rate immediately upon entering your full videochat.

    I do PT only while I work other sites as well. I hate free chat but all newbies Need to do free to private. Start out like 2.99 a min then up it to higher price once the newbie feeling goes away I charge $4 something a min

    I've been camming there for the last month or so, and I love it so far. I've never charged below $3 an hour, and almost always make my goal for the day (at least 100$) in two hours.

    Pro: I am not at all worried about someone who doesn't belong on the site being there. They are VERY thorough with their paperwork. Others might see this as a con, but I've personally known too many people who were trafficked in various ways to be comfortable with anything less. They give you two contracts to sign (one a release form, the other a basic contract), want two forms of ID, and photo documentation of your age and identity.

    There are two different platforms you can use for broadcast, and you can switch freely between the two.

    If you have any problems with the system, reporting it will get a sysadmin in your room to help you troubleshoot the problem

    Weekly pay with a minimum of $100. If you make less, it gets rolled over onto your next check.

    OPTIONAL free chat as mentioned above, along with Free2private, private chat, or Fanclub-only freechat

    You can raise or lower your rate at whim when you open a new chat

    Option to communicate(lure in) with prior customers



    Cons:
    If you go for the 50% payment option, 10% is put in a six-month reserve for something to do with chargebacks. With the guaranteed payment option, you only make 30%, but with no reserve. If I get too many chargebacks, I might consider switching, but I haven't had one yet.

    Some areas are VERY circular. The first few weeks I was clicking almost randomly trying to figure out what to go. It definitely has a learning curve.

    The more advanced broadcasting platform is Windows only

    A well-documented (by hackers) security flaw that's easily avoided

    You might have difficulty with attracting your target audience

    Thats fine for a "proper job", but for jiggling my ass on the www, nah. The less hassle the better.

    HAHA. Wow, tastytreats.....you're still at it, huh? Me and you went back and forth about this on the other forum. I guess you can't let stuff go.

    Maybe next time you think you know everything, you'll stop by my house and see for yourself what's on my computer screen.

    Actually, scratch that last sentence.....I quit that site anyway and moved on to sites with daily pay who actually pay their models a decent percentage, whether they're exclusive to the site or not.....

    Anyway...I'm happy for those of you who are enjoying iFriends.

    @Trouble, yes you are right...I totally agree! But I think CamWhore is onto something, I didn't really think it was all that bad. I think you should try it again, because maybe I signed up after the changes, and just didn't realize it

    Yeah, they must've recently changed it, because it wasn't all that long ago (in the summer...possibly fall of 2010) when I signed up and thought "HOLY SHIT, I thought I was done...there's more???" It kind of made me chuckle how on MyFreeCams, sign-up literally only takes a few minutes while IFriends sign-up made you wanna pull your hair out...lol.

    If IFriends recently made it a quicker, easier process, that's very good. Maybe they had received a lot of feedback about how ridiculously long the process was.

    Have any of you filled out the About Me section (where they ask lots of questions about your childhood memories, etc.) in its entirety yet? It was tons of questions, and I think you had to complete ALL of the questions at once...you couldn't just complete half of the questions now and then come back later to finish the rest. I think I had tried that, but it wouldn't let me save it partially completed.

    The application process isn't THAT bad. They just want you to do it right.

    Filling out your profile is really weird and, for me, a bit too intrusive. They ask a million questions for your fan club and one a few were asking about your childhood. I thought that was a bit too much. I would need an appointment with a therapist after getting through all of their questions.

    You must have lots and lots of patience then. My age verification photos must've got rejected two or three times til I got the posing just right.

    Yeah, the childhood questions kinda had me go "WTF?" I seriously doubt our male chatters will care how we spent our holidays as a child...haha.

    It's obvious that you were taking an unnecessary "subtle" jab at me, based on a similar conversation me and you had on that other forum. Just drop it already, and stop with the snide comments. Is that hard?

    And no, dear, I was on IFriends longer than one day but only long enough to get one paycheck. Nice try though.

    And everybody knows that IFriends pays 35% to models who are on other sites too. You get the 50% if IFriends is your ONLY cam site. Some models have admitted to still getting the 50% because IFriends hasn't caught on to the fact yet that they work other sites too. If you didn't know this, then you need to read through the IFriends threads thoroughly.

    If you would READ my posts, you'd see that I said I'm happy for those of you who do like IFriends. You're the one on here making smartass remarks about people being "pissy" just because they don't worship the site the way you do. There is nothing wrong with liking a cam site, but it's pretty silly to be getting all butthurt and call someone "pissy" just because they don't praise the same site as you.

    Please don't ruin Dancing Days' thread. Agree to disagree and move on.....THANK YOU.

    Yes, you're absolutely right. It's something that all cam girls are at risk of (cam shows being posted on the web), but yes, I've seen a lot of posts about this happening on IFriends. Bambalina, a very wise lady on here, has posted about things like this in other threads, and she definitely knows what she's talking about.

    Yes my dear. I am the one who shouts from the rooftops that this is an insecure site, the hackers have a way to anonymously watch and record your shows, download ALL of your content and steal it, and watch all your archives, all free, anonymous and invisible while they do it.

    There is no way "to easily avoid it" and anyone saying there is, is wrong, unless something drastic has changed in the last few weeks (it hasn't).


    This site is a nitemare for anyone who wants to protect their brand and their content. It is also creepy to pretty much know for sure invisble hackers are watching ALL of your most private moments.

    Lastly, if you value yourself as somewhat honest, and allow a private to tell you his most secret shameful desires, while you KNOW that hackers can see this, it's pretty damn rude.

    iFriends, doesn't CARE about fixing the flaw. NO other camsite allows blatant hackable flaws like this. That means iFriends doesn;t care about YOU.

    Thanks BF...

    I will say that the flaws in iFriends go WAY beyond the other sites which are the regular old risk of being recorded.

    These hacks allow ANYONE who is NOT A MEMBER to come in INVISIBLE and steal ALL of your content as well as watch you and record you and you don't know it.

    As far a I am concerned, that is the ultimate flaw, since that means anyone who wants to can get everything free, and I believe this is why iFriends traffic all dried up, because everyone just went invisible and gets it for free.

    Here again, the Links to the stuff, so you know I am not crazy:



    A second hack:

    and more about the hacks:







    As you can see the hack is well known and widespread and quite popular. So use iFriends at your own risk.

    PS. I love the forum, it pops up with a LiveJasmin ad....pffft...

    I like ifriends I think you just have to try it for yourself. For some reason, ifriends is one of those sites that you either love or hate. The 35-50% thing - I think you only get dropped to 35% if you splitcam (and get caught), and you stay at 50% if you work ifriends one time and then other sites at other times. The hacker thing - I don't think it's as widespread a problem as it used to be by any stretch. Always make sure you turn off catcall immediately (before ANYTHING else) because that is the only time I've had the hacker hole open (and yes I know it's not the same as catcall I just mean that the problem only comes up, for me at least, as a result of catcall)

    Yeah, I did a lot of research on this before I signed up. If you follow the hacker forum threads, a lot of them have these guys getting pissy that exploits don't work anymore, because iFriends is always changing minor things on the back end that break them

    Fortunately they're not COMPLETELY invisible when they get in, they show up in your connections box and can still be blocked. I haven't had a single one in when I've had catcall off. I had a guy in a couple days ago who got in because I hadn't remembered to turn it off, and he was all "NO SEE YOU"

    No, it's definitely 35% if you're an IFriends cam host + a host on other sites, regardless of whether or not you're splitcamming at the very moment. It's been stated on these forums, as well as on the site itself.

    It's 50% if IFriends is your only cam site, or like I said before, if IFriends hasn't yet found out that you're on other sites.


    At least that's how it was when I was with them this past spring/summer in 2010. They could've changed it after I quit, but I doubt it.

    No. It is a pain to sign up and the site is so fucking complicated. They want physical paper work and they are just ridiculous. Try Myfreecams or Imlive or ask Jenny about working on Adultwork.

    Or Streammate. Some of the ladies here work on there and they enjoy it.

    Hope that helps.

    Default Re: iFriends - worth it?

    I haven't worked ifriends yet, but I do want to try it out. I did plenty of my own research before opening my account, 9long before I discovered SW) and I found all of the links that Bambalina posted, on my own ages ago. If you look at the sites, those forum posts are dated from 2005-2008. I cant say for sure, because I'm not "in the loop" as far as hacking ifriends, but when I discovered all of this, my judgement told me that this was an old security flaw, that has since been fixed. That's just me though, enter at your own risk.

    As far as that fan club crap goes, yes they do ask alot of questions but you don't have to fill all of it out in one sitting lol, and you can skip what you want. I was planning on opening a bottle of wine and taking an hour or so and filling it out! I wasn't going to take it all seriously, and actually thought of a lot of funny shit to write, lol

    Also, by reading the forums there, I do think it's important to turn cat call off once you sign in, and also some of these girls have been there for years and years. I don't think they'd be there this long if it were as fucked up as some people think it to be. But again, that's just me...take it or leave it. But I really don't see what all the fuss is about
