    Default Launching cam-girl focused file-sharing site April 30th

    I've been working with a programmer/entrepreneur over the past few months to launch a camgirl-oriented website with all the features I wanted for my own file-sharing. We decided to launch it as a public service - and we're planning the launch for the end of this month!

    If you'd like to be notified when account sign-ups open, you can fill out the form at projectmaenad.com.


    Site features:

    Video and photo uploading with large upload size limits.
    You’ll be able to upload videos up to 2 gigabytes in size.

    Unique URLs.
    You’ll be able to name each of your upload links (e.g. with the name of the customer they’re sold to or other descriptive text) and track how many times the link has been used to download your content.

    Download/time limits.
    You’ll be able to limit the number of times each download link can be used and/or the amount of time that it will available to your client.

    Enhanced image security.
    We’re working on a system that will, in some cases, allow you to find out which link was used to download a photo that ends up posted somewhere you don’t want it (such as on a public forum).

    Beautiful profile pages...
    ...with all of your cam sites and social media linked. You can even use your cammodels link!

    Upsell the rest of your content.
    When you send your client a download link, you can select preview content to appear adjacent to the download. You can even offer a deal on content if your client decides to buy another photo set or video right away!


    EDIT: One week to go! The backend is basically finished, so we've been finalizing the design. Here are some screenshots of what we've been working on:



    ^ Sample profile. There will be more content added by launch, including a list of camsites and contact info.



    ^ Admin sample (page for editing basic profile info).



    ^ Admin sample (page for adding/editing/deleting albums).



    ^ Download page sample.

    Thanks! We've gotten several sign-ups for notifications and we're really looking forward to launch!

    The eventual goal is to set up (optional) payment processing for upselling. For example, you'd give your link to a guy who purchased your content on another site or on Maenad, and when he downloaded your content he'd see something like this:

    "Are you enjoying your video? Check out my brand new hitachi clip! Buy in the next 24 hours and get 25% off!"

    The model wouldn't need to do anything at that point - the client could purchase directly through our site, and the model commission will likely be 75-80%.

    Again, this would be totally optional. We're aiming to launch without payment processing so we can focus on getting all the features models want before endeavoring into payment processing.

    Looks great! This is something I'm definitely interested in! It's such a hassle dealing with giving out links and keeping track of everything. What a great idea!

    Idk if you're interested in adding other features, but maybe if this gets popular enough it could be the ethical alternative to MyGirlFund that I was mentioning on another thread. Seems like a similar format. I'm definitely signing up when it goes live, either way

    We've discussed the various directions the project could go, and that was one of them. We plan on basically updating in whichever direction the models seem to want, adding heavily-requested features or features that seem like an obvious next step based on the way the site is being used. The reason we're starting with this product is (a) because I actually needed it, which we both believed meant other camgirls would probably want it, too, and (b) because we lack the capital to do a big advertising blitz right off the bat. It's very possible that we'll be able to find an investor if we're able to keep a lot of regular users for a few months, and that would give us the freedom to add a lot of our own traffic and really expand.

    My programmer/business partner is a really talented guy who left a large financial services company because he really preferred the start-up atmosphere. We've both been appalled by the general quality of the websites camgirls usually have to use, both in terms of function/aesthetics and the way models are treated. One of the first things we want to do once we've launched payment processing and have enough revenue is hire a full-time model support rep. In the meantime, we plan to make ourselves available as much as possible to help models do everything from filing DMCA takedown requests to customizing their profiles on our site. My business partner even suggested adding a live support chat feature to the site, at least for the first few weeks while everyone is new and learning how to use the web app. Our goal is to answer all email support requests within six hours - which might not be possible in ALL cases, but it's definitely something we're going to strive for.

    We really do want to just be better than other camgirl-focused web apps. When I tell my business partner about some of the complaints models have had about support and their sites siding with customers over models, his response is usually something like, "What is wrong with them? Do they hate money?" We both understand that (from a purely business perspective) it's better to keep a model with high potential earnings than it is to keep a customer who likes to start trouble. We're also highly empathetic people who would rather make money helping camgirls succeed than run a shady business focused on fast money.

    We're postponing launch until May 5th in order to finish hammering out a few small bugs and ensure that the site runs smoothly from day one. I'll keep you posted!
