What Is A Camgirl?

Let’s get some things straight here:

A camgirl doesn’t sell her body for money. She sells video footage of her body for money.

A camgirl doesn’t meet with customers in a ‘sex for money’ exchange. That is a prostitute’s job.

Lumping ourselves into the category of ‘sex workers’ isn’t much of a stretch because we do perform acts of a sexual nature for money.

A camgirl is someone who performs sexual acts in an online environment on herself or others in exchange for money. A camgirl may work solo or with one or more partners.

To address some common questions about being a camgirl:

What do camgirls earn?

Our earnings vary. There is no standard, as there exist too many variables. Like any business venture, what one puts into it generally determines what they will get out of it.

Does a camgirl’s family and significant other know what they do?

For the most part, it’s hard to hide from our significant other or close family members when they ask. Relatives think I work on the internet doing webdesign.

Do camgirls still enjoy sex in real life or does camming take up all their sexual energy?

It can, at times, slow us down a tad but it’s nothing we can’t handle.

Do camgirls ever meet their clients?

Typically, no but it has been known to happen. Some people treat it like they would a chatroom or dating site, taking only minimal precautions. Personally, I would caution anyone considering it to take a good look at the dangers involved due to the stigma and general attitudes toward the sex trade, which have changed very little over the years.

Why is the per minute rate so high?

When I started camming, I was earning 50%. Then, over the next few years, I started to notice other sites were paying their girls only 35%. Shortly after, the site I was on decided to stop absorbing chargebacks and refunds. The performers then had a choice; a drop in commission to 35% with no chargebacks and refunds … or it remains at 50%, less chargebacks and refunds.

But wait, there’s more!

35% must have been too much to have to pay out to us, so the sites decided to hire a bunch of girls to ‘recruit’ performers. The girl would be paid a few thousand dollars a month to round up enough suckers who were willing to work for commissions far less than 35%. It proved a success. The sites managed to take a higher commission from the performers. See how the commission rate continues to decline? The girls that were earning 35% before, were bumped down in the listings and gaining less exposure (therefore, less traffic to their rooms) in favor of the girls giving the sites that substantially larger cut. Thankfully, the sites did still allow the 35%ers to get in on the big stiff, signing up through one of those hired recruiters,becoming a recruitee and earning a whopping 3 to 17 % percent less!

It is the camgirl who chooses her own rate from a drop-down menu with choices such as $1.99, $2.99, $3.99, $4.99 and $5.99. The amount she chooses to charge is not always based on the size of her ego. Let’s first get that straight. It’s often based on paying herself for compensatory damages due to the site’s greed.

Why is the per minute rate so high, you ask?

A camgirl is one tough chick, with a tough job, in a tough industry, so the next time you visit your favorite camgirl, remember this and show her your appreciation. Please keep in mind: The sites take a huge chunk of her commission (even with tips), so tip her privately to her Payoneer account or with a gift card.

Be A CamGirl Clubs Silent Partner

Recent attacks on CamGirl Clubs (espcially in my thread, on Stripperweb forum https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?t=192445 ) have only confirmed the fact that one particular group of webpimps in this industry does not want performers using Skype independently. The simple reason is this group of scumbag thieves have no authority over us there nor direct access to our content (videos). They need our content to steal, sell and trade. Without it, they have nothing. Nowhere else is there as much truth to the phrase “Content Is king” as in the adult entertainment industry.

What I was hoping to accomplish by posting that thread promoting Cam Girl Clubs, was to help the real camgirls of the industry achieve true independence from the sites that steal content and the recruiters that help them to do so. I know that Stripperweb forum is infested with webpimps posing as camgirls, thinking they’re fooling the real camgirls and then using those fakes to brainwash everyone (in a p/r sort of way). I am also aware that real camgirls read those forums, from a safe distance. I have had a tremendous amount of hits to my site from that one post alone, and camgirls signing up under my new Silent Partner Program.

How the attacks transpired was very interesting. They started with numerous questions in response to my post. I answered thoroughly, addressing every single question posed, yet rather than satisfy them, this appeared to have enraged them to scrutinize and twist every word I wrote, in the most negative manner possible. When that didn’t work, they resorted to posting desperate slanderous attacks and outright lies.

In all fairness to the performers hesitant to join us for fear that their involvement will make them susseptible to attacks, harassment, mainpulation of traffic, etc. I have decided to include a ‘silent partner’ program to protect the performers while still allowing them to benefit from being independent. Those attacks were entirely unwarranted. Looking at my blog, or tweets or posts on Facebook, I never attack camgirls. Only one because she attacked me and was involved in harassing me. She also, through her ex boyfriend, tried to attain my trademark (Amanda36c). Yes, I do have a problem with people behave this way towards me and I will definitely plaster your name all over the internet if you try to sabotage my business like that. That is all proven and it is all out there for public consumption anyway. Should I have an axe to grind against someone trying to steal my trademark after I have been doing business under that name for 17 years? Fucking right I do. Besides that one person, who have I always stood up for and who have I always stood up against? That’s the important question I think camgirls should be asking themselves.

To join CamGirl Clubs as a ‘silent partner’, simply leave me a message here or in a dm on Twitter, or by e-mail to amanda36c@gmail.com Please note that this means no promotion on the site, no advertising, no way for any of the sites, recruiters or otherwise ‘paid p/r people’ to find you. No CamGirl Clubs members will find you either though. You would send customers directly to your signup page when they ask for a Skype show but the likelihood of external traffic would be slim to none. Contact me if you are interested in this option. Once you set up your own Skype account (if you don’t already have one), we will attach your pricing links to a hidden page for only you and your members to access.

The sites/pimps never have to know and that way, they can’t play games with you or your traffic. If, at any point, you should decide that CamGirl Clubs is generating a good enough revenue stream, you may change your mind about being promoted, and I would be more than happy to oblige.

At CamGirl Clubs, we are working diligently to find solutions for camgirls to become truly independent and build a solid business foundation for themselves, complete with their own customer base and   100% control of their content.

Misconception: A CamGirl Overbilled You

On a sex site, when an overbilling occurs and the member happens to complain to what is commonly known as ‘customer service’, he is often told billing is the performer’s responsibility. That is a flat out lie. The performer has no authority to tell the big site’s billing department to overcharge any customer at any time. We do not even have access to the members’ personal information and such a narrow view into even our own statistics, including reserve accounts, it’s a joke to think we would ever be given this kind of authority.

Even in the case of an independent performer with her own website, she still must go through a payment processor to receive payments from customers and she is not in control of the amount billed to the customer. She sets her prices with the payment processor, displays them on her site and the customer is only billed that amount. From personal experience, I have never seen an overbilling from my payment processor, Zombaio, on my customers, but have seen, first hand, and heard through customers of mine, that there are select big sites that do it all the time.

On my own website, for example, where I perform Skype shows for a fee, there is a button, which the customer clicks, with payment options to make his purchase. I receive an e-mail stating that a purchase was made. I can enter my account on Zombaio, to view the customer’s information (all except for his credit card number and expiry date).

The only way that a performer can be responsible for billing errors is if she actually owns the payment processing company that does the billing or owns the faulty program that creates the ‘error’.

Don’t fall for it when they try to pass the blame onto the girl. The billing company should be listed on the site somewhere or in their TOS.

 

Heads-Up, CamGirls

Camgirls, if you offer Skype shows, do NOT take payment from Paypal, Amazon (or other) gift cards, Western Union, etc. You MUST age verify. I’m sure you’re all aware by now that there are games being played with us in this industry by the sites. Who else stands to gain from us not being able to offer Skype shows? The following are some examples (and things to watch out for):

Accepting Amazon gift cards in exchange for sex shows on Skype. A gift card is no proof of age. This can get you into heaps of trouble, camgirls. DON’T do it.

Accepting PayPal in exchange for sex shows on Skype. PayPal will close your account if you’re found to be doing this. They do not work with our industry.

Accepting Western Union as payment. Again, no proof of age here.

Use a payment processor that has security measures in place to protect you and ensure your customers are all of legal age.

Happy Skyping!

 

Camgirls, thinking of offering Skype to your customers but not sure how to do it? I can help. Payment processing also available, with secure systems in place to ensure your customers are all of legal age and no games are played by the you-know-whos of this industry (they just can’t stand to see us all going independent, can they?)! http://camgirlclubsinfo.wordpress.com/cgc-skype/

Be vigilant, girls and play safe!

Warning: Viewer Erection Is Advised

Webpower Inc/iFriends Renews amanda36c.net

Despite having left their site (over an ugly financial dispute) back in december of 2009, Webpower Inc (often seen under other aliases such as WP Inc, WP Associates, etc.), the company that owns iFriends, has to be continuing to profit from the sale of my content, to this day. Once again, they have chosen to renew amanda36c.net So, if not for profit, then for what other purpose? If you hurry (before they change it), look at the Whois records for yourself. http://whois.domaintools.com/amanda36c.net Click the tabs Site Profile, Registration & Server Stats to see where I grabbed the screenshots from.

 

The 1st screenshot shows amanda36c.net,  WP Inc. owning it.

 

The 2nd screenshot shows it was updated (or a change was made) on december 17th, 2012, along with the expiry date (2014). It shows amanda36c.net was created in 2008 but it was, in fact, renewed last year and again, this year. What you’re seeing is just the latest update. The name server is RMTinfo.net (Responsible Media Technologies), which is a company that happens to be owned by Webpower’s owner (Hadhazy), along with his accountant (Albers) and lawyer (Kayton); a cozy threesome. Do all big porn site owners partner up with their accountants and lawyers in porn ventures outside the big site itself?

 
The 3rd screenshot shows amanda36c.net residing on Webpower’s servers.

Despite being told by a customer, after I had left their site, that my fan club was “gutted”, content from that club, as well as fresh new content I have produced on Streamate, continue to float around the internet on other sites. The fact that my content is still showing up on porn sites all over the internet and coupled with the fact that amanda36c.net must continue to generate revenue for Webpower Inc., (or else why keep renewing it, year after year?) tells me I’m owed a LOT of money by these thieves. Three years later and I still have not seen a penny from the sale of my content.

Let this be a huge wake-up call for anyone else who is suspicious that their content may be earning profits for Webpower Inc, as well, years after they have left the site, or were successfully bullied offline, or has had to endure much the same type of harassment I have, on a daily basis, with constant insults, threats, poking, being degrading, condescending, pushing the ‘you’re now too old for this business’ buttons, ‘you’re too fat’, comparing you to young skinny girls in the industry (thinking that will push you to lose confidence (a brainwashing attempt), constantly comparing you to the competition and insisting you just don’t measure up, as well as playing all sorts of games, doing anything and everything to run you offline. This is obviously the same person over and over again with the same games, the same insults, on a ferris wheel, going round and round, redundant in their stupidity. Some visits to my website show this person has actually used an ip-hiding (or changing) program that they paid for, for the sole purpose of harassing (me and possibly others, as well). They often use gadgets on wi-fi connections to access my online locations (amanda36c.com, camgirlclubs.com) as well as also made visits to my videos on Tumblr, which are in a password-protected area where only members who have entered my Gold shows on Streamate would have access to. This said, why would someone who has such a hate-on for me want to pay (albeit, not a lot) for a Gold show, along with access to my videos? Content? For sale on another site? Otherwise, why go through all the trouble of paying to hide your ip and paying for videos unless you know you’re going to make that money back? Why renew amanda36c.net unless there’s money to be made from it?

February 3rd – XXX-tortion Day?

As February 3rd 2012 quietly approaches, all dot XXX domains held in escrow accounts (ie: amanda36c.xxx) will go up for sale and according to the Whois records, http://whois.domaintools.com/amanda36c.xxx , there will be more than 2,400 performers affected. No word yet on what’s going to happen with these domains. I wonder. Will they all just be snagged up by Webpower Inc or will it be ICM Registry themselves to grab them? Will it be Webpower’s lawyers again or will it be their accountants this time? Will the domains go up for sale or auction? Will performers be given information at the very last second, with little to no time to respond? In much the same manner as they sprung upon us the performer’s program itself; a quick change of plans to protect against backlash in the budding stages of their massive XXX venture from several thousands of what they (arguably) call “supporters”? I guess the real surprise will come just as the auction takes place, no doubt in some quiet corner of the dot XXX world.

ICM Registry has shown nothing but shadiness. Was it not evident when I provided, in a past blog entry (https://amanda36c.wordpress.com/icm-registrywebpower-inc) , proof that ICM’s very own lawyer squatted on domains? This is the same lawyer who was attached to both ICM Registry, as well as Webpower Inc, a company whose 400+ complaints (on this one website alone), Ripoffreport.com of various forms of fraudulent behavior have completely went overlooked by the people supposedly in charge of overseeing this whole dot XXX venture. The people on the board of the IFFOR (the organization that makes the policies for dot XXX) are also involved with the same companies. In fact, one of Webpower’s other lawyers sat on that board when dot XXX was first introduced. Let’s see – how many millions/billions do they expect to earn from this? What’s its true potential? Well, first let’s try and determine how many idiots exist in this world, willing to dish out money to ‘defend’ their name from the big bad porn pimps of the internet, who can so easily just come along and buy up any name available in dot XXX. What shocks me most is the only one willing to take them to task is Manwin, the adult industry giant, with their anti-trust and monopolization suit. Why has noone else taken them to task? The complacency and passivity in today’s society is sickening. They are making good and sure to control everything, knowing full well that noone will do anything to stop them.

All I can say is february 3rd should be an interesting day, if you’re a performer in this industry. I have the distinct feeling that we will be hearing very little from ICM about what’s to happen, what course of action will be taken on these domains. How soon before (stolen) content is put up on those sites, after they are grabbed (by whoever the highest bidder happens to be)? I wouldn’t trust them with my site, nor would I trust them to my information.

The expiry date on those domains is less than 2 months away. Watch how this plays out.
