OMG, you are having other people on camera illegally without them being age verified and approved?
You are really lucky you didn't get caught. You could be banned for good for that.
They have to register for the site and submit every single thing that you submitted, ID, fill out forms and everything and they can not appear on camera until they do. Now that I think about it, I don't think Naked even allows men. Streamate does though.
Okay girls, real talk, confession time: For the past month I have been making LITERALLY only $5/hour on naked. If it wasn't for my back up site and my non-adult gig I would be FUCKED. Nothing on my end has changed. I am putting in a TON of hours (think 12-18+ on the days I cam). What the hell? Am I the only one who is having an atrocious time? I started last year in September so I am not sure if the "summer slump" is particularly hard on naked or if the site is just... dying. Is it just me? I've been on for almost two hours and have only made $8.50. Not one private. This is typical these days. Oh, except that whopping $8.50 I made is not *really* mine because of chargebacks. I'm still in the red and it just isn't right.
I am stuck in my intrntm0deling contract until December but at this point I am *thisclose* to sucking it up and getting back on SM for a piddly 20% because to be honest, I really don't like having to pull all nighters just to make $50 on naked. I don't know what to do. Is it just me? Do I need to step my game up or am I just on the wrong site? (And then I think, it can't be just me, because I can hop on my backup site and make in two hours what it takes me all day to make on naked, but some days there are slow so I can't rely on it alone. I've tried cam4, webcams, xmodels, chaturbate- so many other sites recently and I can't make shit Except for on my backup site. I feel lost.)



Oh no, it's not just you. Naked has been slow as molasses for me any time I'm on it. I won't get on it unless all of my other sites are dead or on the last day of their pay period if I sold enough clips to make it worthwhile to do so just to hit payout. Last 4 times I've been on, I've gotten one group show and absolutely NO privates. I pretty much just sit there reading or watching tv until guys tip me or take me private as I get the same amount of shows either way on that shit hole of a site.





Yeah it has been bad on there. After hours and hours I am lucky to do $50 a day and sometimes $0
Since they decided not to cover any chargebacks the site is one I just run in the background. When I get a show elsewhere I always give other sites priority. Should they do something about the chargebacks and the lack of traffic I might change my mind, but doesn't look likely.
I only run it because of the daily pay honestly and am trying to wean myself off that completely because it is ridiculous to have to pay $10 just to get paid.
I would really really hate to see you have to go back to 20%. It would almost be worth getting a shitty day job for 2 1/2 months than to see them take that much of your $
God I hate those studio assholes!!! ugh. It seems like it should be illegal to trick and steal from people the way they do.
^My god THANK YOU because I thought I had camming cooties or something! SO glad it's not just me! I also tend to ignore guys unless they talk, tip, or go private, and since I can sometimes go nearly an hour without not even one fucker saying so much as "hello," ugh, it gets boring! At least I can work my side site and non-adult gig while I am on there in between shows, but it just feels like such an inefficient use of my time. I'd rather put in 5 hours on a real site, make what I need, and then do my side site and non-adult stuff in the evenings as opposed to now I am spending a good 15 hours on cam and for what?
Laurielegs, lol, are we cam twins or something? I am in such a financial rut Because of naked that I am forced to stay with them due to their daily pay option (although the cash out fees, geesh!). My non-adult gig also pays daily on business days but it's free direct deposit to my bank account and the minimum is only $1. Freaking CMB, man. If my laptop could handle split camming I'd do it in a heartbeat but as it stands, I can only manage to stream live on one site at a time so I really have to choose wisely.
And getting a shitty day job? That sounds like a freaking Dream right now! You mean guaranteed pay Plus benefits and no more all nighters? I wish! But employment in my city is SO bad. Between my tattoos and not being bilingual I was not able to find anything out here when I first moved and I don't have the time to get off cam long enough to start looking again. I couldn't even get hired at McDonalds. Yes, I even applied to McDonalds. I have a Bachelor's degree and graduated magna cum laude. It's a crazy world, I tell you.

As far as I know, men ARE allowed to be on cam with a girl. There is even a 'couples' category that customers can search. To sign up a male partner, you need to email [email protected]. I'm a bit disappointed because my female friend would need to make her own account and she's not interested in working frequently enough to be a 'model'.





I believe Jane is correct. The "couples" are supposed to be females from what I understand, unless you are talking about the recorded videos maybe?
I don't think you realize how serious an offense it is to have even your female friend on camera with you without documentation.
If caught the site could be prosecuted or even shut down - it is completely illegal what you have done as there is no proof the other people are not underage.
They are not even supposed to walk past the camera or be seen at all, and definitely not performing with you with no documentation.

If you go on to naked as a free custy, and click on 'couples' there are about 3-4 m/f couples performing at any one time. Are they all in violation of naked's policy? It is its own category, just like 18-22 or MILF. Customers can search out performers that do m/f live shows. I would be surprised if they were all doing this in violation of the rules





That section is mostly for performers that are selling b/g video's. They aren't supposed to be doing actual hardcore b/g cam shows usually. I am turning in my paperwork to sell a couple b/g video's on there and they were clear that is was for mostly video's only and not live couple feeds. They said on special occasions they MAY allow a couples show but you have to have their permission first. You are in violation of Naked's policy for not having your paperwork in on your partner's and for doing hardcore shows without permission.
Oh gosh, YES. Not just on naked but any site. Without documentation of proof of age, 2257s, and performer agreements for everyone who appears on cam you are risking getting not only your account shut down but the entire site shut down. If they approve you to cam with other people I personally don't care, honestly good for you if they allow it and it brings you more money, but PLEASE do not allow anyone on your feed who has not been age verified and approved to broadcast!
I also tried uploading a b/g video and they flat out rejected it. The thing is, I DO have a 2257 from the guy but they didn't even ask for it, they just wouldn't upload it. Oh well, I sell it elsewhere for better money.
So I'm here because one of my new guy friends from MGF decided to track me down on naked this morning because he wanted to see my live. He ended up making an account on naked and tipping me there, as well as exchanging paid messages and purchasing three of my videos from mgf. Well this morning I get an email from him via mygirlfund that he is furious because instead of naked charging his card $19.99 he was billed for $200. He said when he tried to contact naked about it the support page came up blank and the support number wouldn't go through, nor would it give him the option to even close his account. I called model support and got the # and email address to pass on to him, but I feel fucking AWFUL for him. That is a HUGE error on naked's part and they need to resolve it stat.
Two questions from this:
1. Do you think I should throw the guy a free video for his trouble? As I told him, I have nothing to do with naked support or billing, but I still feel super bad. I did not tell him where to find me or even ask him to find me outside of mgf (I actually would have preferred to stay on MGF since I get a higher % chargeback free, but whatevs). Still, I feel like he signed up to naked specifically to help me and now he's getting fucked.
2. Has anyone else ever heard of a customer saying this happened to them? If so, how was it resolved? I did have a guy tell me something similar a few months ago and he said it was eventually fixed, but I cannot in good conscience refer new members to the site if this kind of egregious billing mistake has happened more than a couple of times. I have never directed guys away from my other site to naked for the reason listed above, but I will flat out stop telling them I am a webcam model altogether so they purposely don't try to track me down and find me on naked if I learn of similar client billing errors.



Courtney I am sorry this happened to one of your friends. I've never had anyone complaining about billing errors, all the opposite. I brought my regulars from other site where they were overcharged several times and had to wait 2 months for refunds. There are 2 things that you need to consider : a) I think the limit per day is $160 or 175 no $200. He was new so in order to spend $200 or more than $175 he would had to get a Premier Membership and it's only for paying active members. b) If you google naked.com customer support you get their email and phone number I don't know why he was not able to find it.
You should ask support if he was overcharged. Tell them the truth, especially the part about that you brought him to the site and the fact that you are planning to give him a video to make up the billing error.



^ Hmm what Conny said about daily limits and his trouble finding tech support is interesting. I have never encountered a full on disappearance of support like he did, and I wonder what's really going on. I hope he isn't trying to dupe you into giving free stuff. I've had people tip/do a show and suddenly it's clear they did it to get my guard down, and they are really getting off on how far they can push things without spending another dime.
I hope I'm wrong, and sorry to hear it happened.
It's kinda hard to be turned on when you know your internet, utilities, etc don't accept dicks as a form of payment!

I didn't even think of daily limits, but he actually *did* buy a premier membership, I think? I don't know, he was sending me private messages and also sent me a few emails through naked mail so is that what that means? I don't know, I don't have a customer account on naked so I really am not sure of the different options and limits and what not. I haven't heard back from him but this is the message I got from him via the naked emailing platform the morning it happened, "Hey, sorry some bad news. seems joining this site did not charge me 20 dollars as it listed but 200 dollars. So i am currently franctically trying to get my money back, my credit card company just called me about a fraud thing which i had to say it wasn't cause that would ruin my score even more. So long story short I will be leaving here. sorry. ttyl on MGF"
When I asked model support to look into it she did say there was a note on his account that he talked to support so I guess he got through to them, I just don't know how it was resolved. She also didn't tell me anything about what he actually spent but I didn't ask, as it's not really my business. I just don't want a dissatisfied customer. He didn't ask for anything free at all. Maybe I'll just send a few pictures to be nice, I don't know. I just don't want anyone to think that I am a scam girl because of their bad experience.
I am just worried because as I said, a few months ago a member said something similar happened to him. I don't remember the exact amounts but I do remember him saying he was supposed to be charged one thing and naked charged him Way more. Also maybe almost a year ago (before chargebacks) I had a regular spender from xpeeps follow me to naked and he came in one day apologizing profusely because the week prior he had tipped me a bunch on naked and his bank marked it as fraud and reversed the charges. I would have been SOL had there been cbs at that time, but he's tipped me a lot and very regularly since then with no problem. I don't know, I have just heard a few things about billing "issues" with naked, and now that models are getting penalized for billing issues it really does frighten me.
But, Thank GOD no chargebacks from this guy! Or anyone else. My last chargeback was on 9/5. Let's pray I don't get any more through the month of September. I hate logging in and checking my earnings report all the while thinking, "Is my money going to be there? I really hope my money is going to be there! If there is a chargeback please God don't let it be until after I cash out and pay this bill I have due!"



Hi Courtney, what a mess w/ the site. I think a pic set is a nice thing to do since it sounds like your customer may hang around long term, and he took the time to follow you to another site.
I have yet to be part of a site that goes "out of business" so I always take it seriously when posters here begin to have problems with a site. Thanks for sharing what happened-more information helps me & everyone else. I know what you mean about checking for charge backs. That policy gets me the most b/c that can cause real hardship for performers.

Well Courtney the only thing you can do is to send the free video or pics and forget about the incident, at the end of the day he is the only one who knows the truth. Billing errors happen with every company so if it was the case I am sure naked will refund what was overcharged and he will
About the Premier membership guys can't get one on their first day, it is for people who have been for long time on the site , are good spenders or want to spend more than the normal daily limits. The other membership is the normal one for $19.99 just to chat and send PMs.
^Ah, gotcha. Yeah like I said I have no idea how the memberships work on naked. Still haven't heard from him but I took off from both of my sites yesterday because I was so exhausted. I'm working later tonight so let's see what happens.
Via, I actually *have* worked a site that went out of business (two, actually, Stripville and Xpeeps). Xpeeps constituted a big % of my overall earnings so when they basically went bust overnight it was a Huge blow to me. It was a year ago, between xpeeps closing and me choosing to leave my SM studio my earnings are still not back up to what they were averaging a year ago. I guess I am super paranoid but since I have felt the results of a site gone bad I get super nervous.
I don't think naked will outright close down. But, unless they make some changes to keep their models happier I would not be surprised if by this time next year the site is absolutely dead and unworkable. Of course the top models who get to split that $1,000/day are happy. Isn't that just the stupidest thing ever? And isn't it, if a model gets a daily bonus but then gets a chargeback that knocks her out of the top 5, her bonus is taken away? I cannot imagine how pissed I'd be if that were me. As it stands I am super pissed that they can basically afford to just GIVE away $30,000-$31,000 every single month, yet they cannot afford to cover chargebacks for average models like you and me? I feel like I am being stolen from to further boost the top girls' incomes. They're already earning a hell of a lot more on that site than I ever will, and I can't even get a guarantee that I will actually get to keep the money I earned?
Has anyone else called support to complain about chargebacks and ask what they are going to do to protect models? Maybe if enough girls ask for a lower % chargeback protection option they may consider it.



^ Yes Courney so true, we are subsidizing the top girls that way.
I'll call this week and complain. I'll mention the things you did when you called them last week.

I have had a chargeback or two & they suck. But I don't think lowering the percentage is a good idea. I think it would turn out to be more than an average chargeback.
I love Naked. I love my 50% and that I can put in a transfer whenever I want. Plus no cam score. There's a lot of good things about the company.

Hey, I just applied. I had a question about this:
Looking at the girls online most seem to have the same sort of name format (e.g. Mary Jane, Stacy Stars, etc.) The name I use on most sites is easily adapted to that but that form is taken, though the account doesn't seem terribly popular or active. I usually add a bit on the end (think numbers/XOXO/that sort of thing.) If I try to use my usual name (so technically different from the other account) will they refuse it and assign me a name? Or should I just make up a totally different name? I really don't want to have to use whatever name they assign me. Does anyone know anything about how this might play out? Thanks in advance.3.Choose a "stage name". This will be the name that users on the site will see. If you do not provide a stage name we will assign one to you. Please refrain from selecting a stage name that is vulgar or does not depict your actual age. If we find that your selected stage name is either already taken or that it violates our policy, a stage name will be assigned.![]()



Procrasturbator I don't know the right answer for your question. When I applied they gave me the screen name which I asked for but to log in they added a "xo". Some girls have similar names like : Mila , Milaxx , xxxMilaxxx, so if you're name is already taken maybe they will add something.



Courtney I will call too. There are many ways to minimize the risk of chargebacks
1- Giving ratings to the spenders. I bet that the the guys using fraudulent credit cards have new accounts.
2- First day spending limit $50
3. I know that sometimes Chaturbate takes 2-3 days to clear new credits while they check if the credit card is ok. Naked should do the same.
I agree that there are good things about Naked. I just feel like the bad is starting to outweigh the good, and I wish they'd listen to models to try to prevent that from happening.
I've had more than a chargeback or two. It's not enough to make me leave the site altogether, but it always seems to come at the most inopportune times. It sucks knowing I'll have to work for 5+ hours for free to make up for one chargeback. That's not 50%, in my opinion. That's 0%. I think they should give the girls the *option* of taking a higher % and getting chargebacks passed on to them, OR getting a slightly lower % but being protected from all chargebacks. Maybe some girls are willing to risk getting the higher % and I would not blame you. But for me, especially as someone who does public cum shows 2-4 times I month, I cannot stand the idea of dozens of guys getting a free show and me working for $0 at the end of the day because some knucklehead decides he has buyer's remorse and calls fraud.
Girls have said that they will only do shows with guys who've done privates in the past to try to prevent that from happening. While this makes complete, 100% sense to me (kind of), how on earth am I supposed to grow my business and attract new regular spenders if I make it a personal policy that I'll only accept money from existing regulars?
Every reg has a shelf life. If I were to only do shows with proven regs one day they'd get bored and leave, and I would have no one to replace that income stream. It doesn't seem very sustainable.
Oh, and for the record one of my first chargebacks was with a semi-reg. He would get 5-10 minute private shows once every week or two. It wasn't a lot, but he'd been doing shows with me for several months without any problems. Then boom, chargeback.
There is no cam score which I appreciate, but considering that the ratings are rigged and there is no shifting in placement whatsoever, not really sure how that benefits me. One model who is always the very last on the page is always far ahead of me in the daily contest stats, so I know that on such a small site as naked where everyone is visible, placement doesn't matter as much as larger sites with multiple pages of online models. I think the first two rows of models do get more exposure, but once a guy starts scrolling down a little bit to see everyone else who's online it's pretty much equal footing.
I do like that Naked's support is easy to access at any time of day. Whenever I've had a technical problem or question I can easily live chat support or call the model number and I am always given very prompt answers to whatever my issue is. CMB also has very nice support staff, even if I do think they charge a ridiculous amount for a service that is less than reliable. It's precisely because Naked's support actually seems to listen that I am not giving up on this site altogether. Because I think that if enough models and members complain about something they don't like, I think they'll actually listen and evaluate to see if there is a better way of doing things.
And surely, there must be a better way of doing things than they have been lately.
