If the billing is what gets shown (even if just the city), it might be worth trying to use a different addy for billing, maybe thru an LLC established in another city. Getting a bit more involved, I wonder if using an API to create a different "front-end" to the wishlist could be used to hide info (or if your shipping details show in the members account).

For something like a strip club, sure, locals can get it shut down, but a cam site is local to people who navigate that area of cyberspace, so technically, the community will always approve

Not excited that they want women to fill in a lot of info, then wait for an email with further instructions (which, I suspect, involve doing some kind of "test feed" to make sure you are worth it, lol).

    They are a no-name site asking for 20% from what are otherwise independent webcam models?

    > I've been in jail for the past 18 months because of sexual abuse alligations made by my ex-wife during a bitter divorce.
    < "Psh, women. Well, you've done your time so no reason to hold that against you. Would you like a blond secretary or a brunette?"

    Conversion measurement involves actually tracking where guys have linked in from, and what percentage of them purchased credit on the site within so many days (so, 1 in 500 guys that watched the clip and came to the site directly from it buys credit... something models don't actually track unless doing their own affiliate work).

    ... that, and the poster just rubbed me the wrong way

    Best I can tell from what little time I spent looking, a model needs more than 80 for things to take-off (no pun intended), but not sure if 180 is the magic number or not (could be closer to 200).

    If any models there have noticed when that "change" takes place, a post here might be good for all.

Does using Twitter count? And where does the actual hours come into play, since the models would have to be logged-in to an actual site to record the time spend chatting... can't be on ImLive unless the affiliate is dropping some html for the models live chat (video as well?) onto the pages where traffic is being driven from?

Not going to pull quotes from his posts to comment on each one, and two things have already been mentioned (how his woman needs to be earning more and how he pushes her to flaunt herself... not SAID that way, but how I read them). No one has mentioned that she was been on cam when chatting. It makes me think his girlfriend is just some girl he has seen topless on cam and is pushing/pimping her to do webcam work (by saying it will help her with bills....). Has this guy even been with her physically, or is it a long distance internet thing (can't roll my eyes back far enough on that one, lol).

    I don't like him...

If doing content for a website, yeah, have someone keep those records for you, but if just uploading videos to clips4sale... my non-legal advice is to not worry about it since they (FBI or whomever) will get your name from the site in the event any request takes place).

A handfull of flash drives might be enough for most "amature" content but you will also need a way to display said content because they will have screen caps and probably short clips that you, or someone else, will have to be able to reverse look-up (by video name or whatever).

    Took me a while to re-find these clips (the first is a short intro toward the end of the clip, but still interesting), but well worth the time to watch.

    edit: the end of clip 3 talks about NOT using a PO Box and may be most relevent to this thread.
