Flirt4Free - New camgirls Guide

Disclaimer: This guide is in no way directly affiliated with this company.  The guide contains my individual opinions based on my experiences working as a model on their network.  The purpose of this guide is to share my experiences and help new models interested in performing on their network get started and use all features available to them to their full benefit to make the most out of their experience and enjoy their time there.

Video Secrets

unofficial guide to getting started as a camgirl/camboy with the Video Secrets Network (Aka Flirt4Free) 

 

Commission: Base 27% but increases depending on activity.  Flirt4Free has some of the highest per minute rates for models I've seen, as well as attracts often a higher class of clientele.  Having clients spend a few hundred dollars on a single show is not uncommon at all from my experience.

Bonuses/Features:

-Contests: Lots of constant contests.  Top Daily/Weekly/Monthly, top new model.  Occasional theme contests, and yearly.  Great ways for you to earn more by working hard.

-Phone Service: Allows your fans to call you directly.  It connects to your existing number, so easy set up.  And is completely secure so your phone number is not given out.  You set the rates and you activate and deactivate it through the site.  So you can easily choose when you don't want to be contacted.

-Deals:  They let you actually set deals with a lot of flexibility on how they're set up.  I.E you can offer a deal if a user takes you private for 20 minutes, they get an extra 5 minutes free.  Good option to reward loyal fans.

-Amazing customer connection services:  You can post notes to customer's profiles for your eyes only.  Letting you easily keep track of simple details about them, like fetishes or how they enjoy being talked to or addressed as.  And an offline messaging system you can communicate with customers with.

-Ranking is based on activity not viewer count.  Activity is based on a number of factors, letting you gain an edge or even the playing field with more experienced and high earning models.

-Fanclubs to promote to customers to earn extra income with. 

-Resell Private shows: Every Private show you do is recorded.  You can manage these recordings and resell them, setting the rate for users to watch them.

-Upload samples of shows to their personal video site:  This was rather cool, you can upload samples of your videos to their video site.  The videos link back for them to purchase the entire thing from your profile, as well as act as an affiliate link.  So if they sign up and buy credits you get a bonus from that.

-Interactive sex toys:  Yes you read that right.  It's an upfront investment on the models part (they don't supply them for free), but you can get them through them and offer the service to customers where they can control your sex toy/machine on their end.

-Cam2Cam:  They let customers broadcast their cam to you in private.  Opening up a more personal experience and letting you more intimately tease them,

-Record a commercial:  Yes, they let you record a commercial you can use to advertise yourself in your public profile.  Pretty neat way to advertise yourself I thought.

Models Accepted:

Men: Yes

Women: Yes 

Transgender: Yes
Couples: Yes

Offers Geoblocking: Yes

If you're interested in broadcasting with the Video Secrets Network.  Follow this link for their sign up page.
Again make sure you sign up as an individual model and not a studio to avoid any complications.

A studio is an organization that hires other models and takes a portion of their commission, usually in exchange for promoting or offering other services to the models.
If that's something that sounds interesting to you, you can always open one with the network later anyway.

Video Secrets is a great network to belong too, even as a newbie in the business.  They've been around for close to 20 years.  So they have a reputation and that's 20 years of building up exposure for an amazing customer base.

Not only that, they offer loads of support for their models and a quick and easy sign up process.  If you ever have any questions they are also friendly and happy to help.  I actually had some issues with my audio on my end when I first started and they were great with helping me on that.  Talked me through it in live chat and fixed the settings on my end.  They're a great help.

Video Secrets network is probably one of the better networks for men to work on as well that I've seen.

The company has a great interface for getting started and offering advice to new members on best ways to do things with them.  So I will just use this guide as a way to explain some things that I personally overlooked when I started on their network.   That way you don't make the same mistakes I did.

So after you sign up and get everything through and are awaiting approval, you should start making sample photo's to upload.  That is to say if you haven't already.   One of these sample photo's will be used as your cover image on the network where customers browse through the cams.  So make it really enticing to get them to click on you.

They have a few restrictions on what models are allowed to show for free in the samples.  This keeps the site a bit more high class and prevents models from doing a race to the bottom, giving away everything for cheap or free and attracting customers who come to expect free and cheap services.  Nope, here they get nothing for free, so customers on this network join knowing they have to pay to see the goods.  Which is great for the models.

So again I will quickly run over a few things to do right away.  First get some photo's up.  Some teasy sexy sample photo's that customers can view for free, and then get some more hardcore photo's up in their appropriate section.  Follow the sites guidelines for writing your bio, if you get stuck, browse a few other models pages for some ideas.

 Read over their rules and regulations carefully.  If something is unclear or you're unsure if you are able to do something in free or private chat even.  Email your rep, they will be more than helpful in answering your questions and clarifying whatever your question is.

Videos can not be uploaded, the only videos they accept are ones they record from your private shows.  Once you have your first private, head on over to their video configuration section and set it up.   Title it, give it a description and what rate to charge for users to view it. And if it's long enough, set up and upload a sample to their tube site right away.

Blog, blog, blog.  Your "PowerScore" as they call it, is your activity level which determines your rankings in their networked sites.  The higher your "powerscore" the more traffic they will send your way.  Each day you can earn a fair number of points from simply writing a short blog entry.  Write one everyday for the required word amount.  Doing that everyday will put and keep you in the high percentile of performers.  Which will mean more traffic

Your first 2 weeks are the most crucial, so don't put this stuff off.  They give you extra exposure, so if you combine that with blogging, and if you get 5 videos uploaded to their tube site quickly.  You will have an amazing first month! Trust me.  Not long you will be able to stop doing the blogs if you want, because your earnings will keep your score high.

The "powerscore" only counts for activity in the past 7 days.  Except for video boosts from their tube site.  That boost is permanent.
So a blog entry that is 8 days old will not count towards your activity level, but a blog entry that is 6 days old will.  So you will need to keep this up every week till you get a stead stream of customers.
It's only like 200 words per a blog entry to get the points.  So it's really not hard to keep up with.  To give you an idea, this paragraph you just read was about 90 words.  So you can see, 200 words is not that much.


Their broadcasting software is pretty cool.  If you're ever having slow days, or just having trouble getting a customer to go private.  Like you're getting someone who just wants to casually talk and not buy anything.  You can do a fake private to stop it.  Rather than being rude and telling them outright to go away or ignoring them.

The chat room is also unique in the sense that customers do not see the guest list for your room.  The only people they can see are those typing in open chat.  So you never have to worry about a low guest count looking bad.  Since no one can see your guest count but you.  A lot of your chatting will be done through PM's typically

2 things to be wary of that I made the mistake of missing when I started.  First I didn't ask customers if my sound/video was looking good.  I ended up working my first week with a slight audio issue, that a customer finally brought to my attention later.  First day, when you get a chatty customer ask them if everything is looking and sounding good and smooth.  If it's not, ask what's wrong and then contact your rep right away to get it fixed.
But even with that audio issue, I was still getting customers spending $200 on a show.  So like I said, really great high class users here.

2nd thing I screwed up on.  The log in types.  I typically did the combo, letting users pick group or private.  What I didn't realize was that users were picking the group option often instead of the private. So they'd take me private under group pricing, instead of actual private pricing.  To remedy this, always pick a single option log in type. If you are working a room and got a group willing to go for the group option, it's extremely easy to quickly switch log in types to allow them to do group.  I was unfortunately shorted a fair amount of credits due to my own carelessness before I noticed that.

Though, if you're unsure what to price your rate at initially.  The combo option can be good for that.  Giving users the freedom to buy time at the cheaper group rate, but at the risk someone might join the fun as well, or at the more expensive private rate and make sure they have you all to themselves.

Play around for whatever works best for you.

My main quarrel with their chat system though is they don't let you approve requests.  You can be in the middle of seducing a VIP client, and some random guy you didn't chat with once can take you private and interrupt all that hard work.   It's only happened to me a couple times, so it doesn't happen often.  It just can be frustrating when it does happen though.

Though something I did enjoy about their chat, that's kind of a hit or miss with models.  Is that they will kick models offline(temporarily) who haven't made any money after a certain amount of time.  (This only counts if you have an extremely low "powerscore" level.  Moderate "powerscore" users, this doesn't effect them)  So low earning and low activity models are kicked off temporarily (Something like an 8 hour break I believe)  I personally enjoyed this because it meant less low quality models (models that sit around and do nothing expecting money, types) clogging up the network and distracting potentially paying customers.  really helps attribute to the high quality aspects of the network I personally felt.
But like I said, this can be easily avoided.  I think it takes something like 4 blog entries to be at a level high enough that you wont be booted if you happen to have a bad start for the day.
If you're not at a high enough level though and you are approaching that time limit without any income. Just log off before it hits, take a break for an hour or 2 and try again. This will avoid you getting that boot.

Something else that's pretty handy is their room receptionist feature.  This is enabled where you manage your account.  Most models and customers seem to agree to not use it to send them automated greetings.  They find it impersonal, and they don't like how it calls them out in public chat.  Instead just use the option for it to privately notify you when VIP and customers with a history of spending come into your room.  So you can focus your attention on them.


If you had a particularly good show with a customer, make note of them and send them a sexy message or virtual gift a few days later to remind them about you and the fun you 2 had. Video Secrets give you a lot of tools to market yourself with.  Make sure you are using all of them to your benefit.  When you first sign up, the "credit levels" to get access to more marketing features for you to use, the levels might seem daunting, but you'll blow through them in no time.

Make sure you set yourself a consistent schedule for going online and stick with it.  You have the potential to get a lot of repeat high paying customers on this network.  If they like you and you're consistent with your performing schedule they will keep coming back.  If you're not, they will jump around other model rooms and that's income lost for you.

After you've been modeling for about a month you will want to take advantage of the "Feature Show".  It's an hour long show in a prime time slot.  This is a great way to market yourself to High Paying customers.  Read up about it and ask questions to start to prepare one.  It will boost your exposure a lot.

That's really all the advice I have for them.  They are pretty great about helping models maximize their potential income and explaining everything they have to offer and how you can use them, it's all really upfront.  So there is 0 need for me to write an expansive piece about it here.  Once you sign up above and get approved you will see all the tools available to you and explained clearly by them.  And if you ever have any questions, their FAQ section covers everything, not to mention the reps are nice and helpful for any questions not answered in their FAQ.

Video Secrets is a great network in my experience.  If you decided to use the link above to sign up with them.  Good luck and I hope they work out great for you!
