My all time favorite song.



Sabotage! Okay it's not really my favorite song. But it did happen to me this week!!

Some fool tried to A. take over control of my blog and B. get my blog deleted. I can't help but wonder who it is. My guess is that it's either some stalker fan that I might have told about my blog (only a few candidates, probably not one of them unless he's a sociopath) or some pissed off site owner who doesn't like me preaching the truth (yep).

So firsties, this wannabe saboteur tried to get control of my Google account. Fortunately for me I have two step authentication set up, which means that if you want to steal my goodies you have to figure out my password, which is nice and long and random and also have access to my phone. So thankfully nothing bad happened.

Second, this bad person flagged my blog as spam and got it suspended for a few days. Fortunately for me in this case, Blogger is very fair about readdressing complaints like this and after a few friendly emails, the people at Blogger tech support realized what happened and restored my precious little rants.

Thanks Blogger and fuck you, thief.

New site - Aleful, Another scam, a free pic hustle or a creepy stalker??

If you post on Tumblr you have probably gotten a message from a guy/site called "Aleful" who is setting up a photo set selling site much like, I guess, Clips4Sale or Extra Lunch Money.

I signed up to be notified of the launch and got an email today which prompted me to do a little research. If you haven't seen the email it's just this:

The time has come! For all you sexy women to start snapping your photos! The first thing I need is proof of age all it has to be is a picture of you holding up your id so that I can verify you are over 18 years of age. This will be only on file on a secure hard drive. Now for the fun part. Follow this how to and submit your pictures to Aleful.net !!!!

Okay, nothing wrong there, some random stranger off Tumblr wants me to send him my real name, address and driver's license number. Seems perfectly logical, I do that all the time anyway, what harm could come of it?? /sarcasm.

I went and checked out the site at aleful.net and there isn't anything there, just a Wordpress install with a free theme attached. Checking the Whois information doesn't provide any additional verification either, which leaves me wondering...who or what is Aleful and why should I send him my driver's license?

Attached to the email was also this image, giving a run down on how the site works:


Seems pretty straightforward, send in a few pics, answer a few questions and get free money right to your PayPal! Nothing wrong there either, we all know how great PayPal is to work with and how much they respect and treat cam girls, models and webmasters/mistresses in the adult entertainment industry, right?? /sarcasm (again.)

I think Mr. Aleful has a little ways to go before his site becomes the next Clips4Sale, so use caution, as always, with new sites that pop up from nowhere.

Anyway, signing off for now, I gotta go take a nice clear picture of my driver's license and send it to a stranger!!

News - MyFreeCams and MyGirlFund. UPDATED.

Interesting but different news from these two sites. We'll go good to bad:

So, the Good News. MyFreeCams is closing its Asian section due to abuse by studios from the Phillipines, in addition all of the Filipino studios will be banned. Now why is this good news? Well if you are Filipina it's not, but if you are an American cam girl who spends time on MFC, less girls = more custies and more custies = more $$$.

And...the Bad News. MyGirlFund has been experiencing outages this week for some reason. As usual the site's owners have been basically silent on the issue, but the worst outage was Wednesday night for several hours, but it's back up today. At some point, however, a large warning appeared, "MGF will be offline for maintence from 3am - 9am est." either this will be a good thing because they are fixing the problem or not. We shall see.

Watch this space!

*** UPDATE ***

So MGF has been pretty rock solid over the last week or so. I'm guessing whatever they were fixing is fixed. Very good news!

Not for the squeamish!

If you have been following my blog you know that I have been all over the map as far as techniques to make a few bucks online. The one thing I have been really searching for among all of these is the ability to make more than average money.

Anyone can sign up to the sites I've mentioned like MyFreeCams, MyGirlFund or others and make a few hundred bucks on the site. That's a good thing: it's a car payment, a big bill, some mad money to treat yourself, a new bag, cellphone or whatever. But the real success is when you are making enough money to live a nicer lifestyle than you currently do or than you could working a regular job.

What's the key to big money? To real money? There are two things you need: loyal fans and repeat customers. That's it. What could be easier? LOL.

Yes, Finding customers is hard as heck but there is one way you can make sure they are loyal, repeat custies: you find them in the fetish world. Bottom line, if you are not easily grossed out and don't mind doing some crazy stuff there is a lot of money to be made. I'm not going to put any other girls business out there but some of the biggest earners on the sites I've mentioned are girls who cater to the fetish guys.

What fetishes? Well I previously mentioned financial domination and that's a valid niche if you are dominant and can find slaves, but money slaves are topically solitary losers. What you want to find are fetishists who have a COMMUNITY. Because if you can find one or two custies and treat them right they will tell all their online perverted fetish pals about you. What fetishes? Well start with the non gross stuff: panties, pantyhose, feet, smoking. Then move on to the hard stuff: peeing, burping, farting, pooping. If you don't mind doing this kind of stuff there is a lot of money available to earn.

Probably the single best aspect of fetish customers is that they genuinely appreciate you catering to their fetish and are willing to pay and pay repeatedly.

So how do you get into the fetish world? For starters do your research and learn as much as you can about it. Each fetish has its own rules and own types of fans. First take a look over Google for your fetish. There will be a few blogs, boards, communities where fans of whatever hang out. You can hop right in and get to know them or you can lurk and spy on them for a bit while you discover the fetish.

Probably my all time favorite fetish site, personally, is FetLife. Get on there, make a profile and do your research, it's kinda touchy about marketing there, so don't cross the line, but it's a great resource.

Getting Paid on MyGirlFund and MyFreeCams.

No two sites are more different to get paid on than MyGirlFund and MyFreeCams. MFC has everything in the book: bank wire, check via mail, direct deposit (ACH), Payoneer, AlertPay, Paxum, CashX. In most cases the minimum payout is reasonable, $10 or $20.

MyGirlFund has far fewer options, they prefer to mail a check or make a direct deposit as the only way to pay out which they offer to girls in the US as well as foreign countries. Of course if you don't have a bank account or want your money instantly there is one other option and only one - Payoneer.

So in these cases if you had a bank account or a Payoneer account you'd be taken care of. Having your bank account deposited directly is very convenient and only takes 1-4 days maximum. A transfer to a Payoneer card is instant, but there are a lot of fees associated with having the card, so be sure to take that into account: $5 to activate your card, $1.50-4 to load a payment, $1-3 monthly maintenance fee, $1.35 to withdraw your cash from an ATM.

So think of it this way - from your very first payment to Payoneer you will pay them something like $12 so be sure to think about that.

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

So you are working online...

...how on EARTH do you get paid for your hard work? At some poin tyou have to turn your customer's interest into a sale and then that sale into MONEY. That's kinda the point...

As you know, if you have any online experience at all is that PayPal is mostly out. If you get caught using it to sell anything of an adult or risque nature you will get your account suspended, so axe that from the list.

This leaves you with four options and you should probably sigh up for all four of them, I'll talk a bit about each in future posts and list where you'll need each account and for what, they are: Paxum, Payoneer, CashX, and Alert Pay.

Support My Wish and Virtual Love Affair = Scams. TOLD YOU SO.

First of all I don't want to gloat and I'm not happy to see girls lose money or be taken advantage of, that's the whole reason I started this blog - so I could publicize what I know and what I learn about websites where you can earn money online and hopefully help people avoid mistakes and rip offs.

Someone needs to call these thieves out and warn girls to stay away from them.

A while back I posted an article on a site called Support My Wish because the owner came off more like a pimp than a business owner and I warned that the site had all the hallmarks of being a scam. It concerned me that the owner would recruit girls, get them to bring in their customers and do nothing else to get traffic. All he seemed to be doing was getting these girls to do his work for him. What did I notice just the other day?


There you go ladies, say good bye to your money. My heart goes out to all of those girls who lost money at SMW.

I think if you have a balance due to you over there you should login, take a screen shot, then sue the owner in small claims court. He is incorporated in Nevada where you can search public records to get his real name and lives in North Carolina, I think. Don't let him get away with ripping you off.

New Opportunity - FInancial Domination!

First off if you don't know what Fin Dom is, you are probably pretty confused right now so let me explain. It's a form of sexual humiliation where a submissive man derives erotic pleasure from being used as a slave by a powerful mistress. His slavery is in the form of financial tributes. Basically she takes his money and treats him like shit.

Yes this sounds a lot like a bad marriage, but I digress.

The roots of financial submission and domination are in the mastery and control on the part of a dominatrix and the loss of control and feeling of helplessness on the part of the submissive. Moreso than other relationships, dom-sub relationships are complex, so there are surely many variations of this. In general, financial domination is when the submissive pays cash tributes to his mistress, submits to her blackmail and places his financial health in her hands.

For these men, the relationship is very rewarding sexually even though there is no chance they'll ever have sex with their goddess. Honestly, why would a beautiful dominant female ever lower herself to copulate with a pathetic submissive? He derives his pleasure from allowing her to live a life fitting a goddess (or as much of it as he can afford to).

Can you be a financial dominatrix?

I used to think that you need to have a very dominant, bitchy personality that submissive guys would respond to, but the more research I do the more I find that these guys are SO submissive and SO pathetic that as long as you are willing to take a guy's money and call him a lowly slug or something, you'll find a few guys to 'worship' you.

Let me put it this way - if this shy, passive thing can be a domme:



Anyone can be. She strikes me as incredibly passive but it seems to work, so I think that as long as you can say things like:

"You are a weak-willed beta male or you wouldn't be reading this.
You've wanted to be abused and exploited by a beautiful, dominant
woman for a long time but you haven't acted on that urge. You
are going to act now, because you desperately want me, Mistress
Mitsukai, to control you through blackmail. I am the most sadistic,
devious woman you could find and I will get what I want out of you
because you are going to give me the power to destroy your life. In
this clip you will watch me strip down to my hot lingerie and reveal
my incredible body as I twist your little mind around. After watching
this you will be unable to resist giving me everything I need to control
you."

with a straight face, than the sky is the limit.

Sugar Daddy, fact or fiction?

I recently saw a very popular article on Huffington Post about the Sugar Daddy - Sugar Baby scene. for those of you not in the the know the scene is called the 'sugar bowl' and is where eligible young women are compensated for their company by older gentlemen of means.

Or at least that's the theory, the myth. Is there some reality to it some where? Absolutely. As long as there are rich men and pretty women they will find a way to get together. But these websites that claim to offer a virtual Ebay of rich men willing to treat you like a princess, is there anything to them?

I say no, not really. These sites are just thinly veiled prostitution. Just read through the HuffPo article:

"While she and her host hadn't agreed to a set amount of money, on the drive back to the train station in Greenwich he handed her $350 in cash. She pocketed the envelope, seeing it as decent money for half a day's work. But once on the train and no longer worried for her safety, she started to agonize over what she had just done."

This girl just spent a day with a John and for $350 for sex. There are escorts who make more in 1 hour...and, as the article reveals, he never called her again.

Do a little research and you can find threads on cam girl message boards where they talk endless about how dead and filled with losers most of the big sugar daddy sites are or you'll find comments like this from sugar-bloggers:

"Or the fact that more and more sugar daddies without substantial means are entering the arena. They are aware that this segment of the industry is flooded with sugar babies and they are calling the shots. There are now websites that allow men to pay for dates with suggested prices as low as $25. It’s your guess what activity most of these sugar daddies seek."

She's hinting at exactly what I believe is going on. Guys are using the PROMISE of a rich sugar daddy to turn you into a low priced escort.

Girls, keep in mind that men are bastards, and act accordingly.

Another new site - Chaturbate.

I will say one thing up front, I LOVE the name of this site. Although I think it should be Chatsturbate. Basically it's like a kinda rip off of Chatroulette I think where regular people can cam, the twist is that they pay you.



Of course the REAL twist is that they don't pay you much and half of the site is ads! LOL. Here's how it works - they proclaim that they give away huge dollars:

"EASY MONEY! Each month, Chaturbate gives $11,000+ in prize money!"


Wow, you must be thinking! $11,000, that's a lot of cheddar! Well the bitch of it is, they give it out $10 at a time and to 'win' it you need to have the most visitors in your room for an hour. Yeah...so...no. You can drive a forklift at Costco with your clothes on for $19 an hour with benefits. You can squirt espresso at Starbucks and meet cute guys for $10 an hour and get free drinks.

Plus the site is brand new and hasn't got crap for traffic. I know that if you take a look at the site it seems like there are 100's of people in the rooms watching but if you use a little brain power you might be able to see through this BS. For example in the above screen cap one of the rooms is clearly labelled as an ad 'Flirt4Free' and the icon says there are 23 people watching it. Just to the left of it there are 38 people watching a bald black man eat a tv dinner, while right above that only 27 people are watching a chick finger herself. Also there's this: 199 people watching parakeets:



So, bottom line - skip it. Even if you came up with some lame idea for a game on MFC during peak hours you could bank more than $10 an hour, guaranteed.

The best places to sell pics and vids.

I've been putting together a list of the best places to sell pics and vids online, to compare sites.

I had to make a judgement call on what 'best' really means, if I have to be specific I'd say there are two criteria: customers and costs. I don't know if there is a magic ratio where a lower percentage will be made up for by higher traffic or vice versa, but I've tried to compile the main outlets along with their price versus traffic below:

For starters, the sites I've done extensive research into (keep in mind this blog isn't about camming, it's about selling pre-made pics and vids and stuff):

So I did a lot of research into ExtraLunchMoney and MyGirlFund as you can see by their pages up at the top. So how do these two stack up?

1. MGF - Percentage is variable, from 10-35% depending on how much you earn over the lifetime of your fund. Traffic wise they have about 21,000 a day. Not exactly setting the internet on fire, but it's decent.

2. Extra Lunch Money - They use a credit system where a buyer pays $1 per credit and when you cash out you get 65 cents, meaning their take is 35%. As for traffic, they are pretty new and boast about 1000 visitors a day.

Raw visitor numbers are easy to quantify, but it's more difficult to judge quality. For example, ELM is very active on Twitter and message boards, so most of their visitors are probably girls on the sales side, not as many customers while most other sites leave the promotion to the models, meaning the visitors are more likely to be customers.

3. Clips 4 Sale - Probably the original place to sell pics and vids. They take a little bit more - 40%, but their traffic is huge, 427,000 a day. Granted most of it is directly to individual stores or users, but that's nothing to sneeze at.

4. Hot Movies - Seems like a very poor deal as they take 80% of the purchase price (yipe!) despite the huge amount of visitors they have, over 580,000.

5. Rude - Uses a token system but is set up to take 50% of the sale price. More than made up for by the huge amount of traffic, over 1.4 million visitors every day!

6. Skin Video - Is a decent sized site, but they charge 50%. So 51,000 a day and 50%.

7.  X-Tube - Is the biggest site on my list at 2.7 million visitors a day. They take 50% as well.

So there you have it, choose wisely and good luck, ladies.

Um, yeah. Most home jobs suck ASS.

Before I started researching this stuff I thought that there would be a lot more variety in jobs you can do from home. I was, admittedly, hella wrong. As it turns out here are your choices:

1. Talk to horny guys on a site like MyGirlFund.

2. Do whatever the hell this is:


Hello, horny guys?

Extra Lunch Money, extra creepy? **UPDATED**

Apparently "benic" responded to my post insisting he's not creepy. I have a one word response:


ORLY?

LOLOLOLOL. You run a site where girl sell pictures of them peeing on themselves, own your creepiness.

*******************************************

I originally found Extra Lunch Money through Twitter, as they have been very active there and I investigated the site. The concept looks good and it seems pretty legit. I was thinking of putting up a pic set but before I did I wanted to do some research to see if they were legit and I ran across a few very creepy things that put me off the site.

First up, if you click over to their blog you'll see a bunch of bizarre interviews that a creeper calling himself "benic" is doing. Here's an example:

I have no idea what the point of these interviews are other than to give "benic" a chance to talk to girls, LOL. The thing that concerned me is that some of the interviews are with former street prostitutes. What on earth does that have to do with selling erotica online? As far as I know selling erotica is legal and fun, and being a street prostitute is skeezy, illegal and disgusting.

So why would you want to associate criminals with your website? That right there would be enough to warn me off of Extra Lunch Money.

I found another thing REALLY bothered me tho, it looks like they are trying to recruit girls on teen forums to pose for the site. That seems REALLY creepy to me and possibly illegal. Here's a screen shot of someone publicizing Extra Lunch Money on a teen sexuality forum:



The forum is on the LiveWire forum site and it's for discussion of teen sexuality. This instantly reminded me of the Alxea DiCarlo fiasco from a few months ago - a creepy guy posing as a woman on teen forums to lure young women into prostitution in that case.

If I were running Extra Lunch Money I'd go out of my way to avoid stuff like this, and I'd probably fire "benic" for associating street prostitutes with my site. So, my opinion, use at your own risk.

TIps for working online.

There are basically three ways to get paid on a cam site - some cam sites allow tipping and some do not, some allow you to sell content and some do not, and some allow you to offer private shows and some do not.  This article is for those girls who are on sites such as MyFreeCams or Streamate, which allows the members to tip, or go private for one-on-ones  or off site for Skype shows, or sites like MyGirFund where you can sell content and do one-on-one shows.

It depends on what you’re comfortable with, but you can make a lot using just the tip feature provided by some websites if you are better live, or just by selling content if you are better doing scripted or personal shows.  Whatever your biggest strength is, use it as much as you can.  If you do, you’ll make more money in the long run than trying a little bit of everything.

Here are some tips for getting tips:

1. Update your topic/status every time you log in.  Keep it fun, sexy and flirty. Give guys a reason to talk to you about it, so they don't just start in with 'SHOW ME UR TITS BB!'

2. Set multiple goals for members to reach.  If they reach the goal, they get a “prize” such as a flash, a strip tease, a nude dance, a huge thank you, etc. this way they don't get discouraged that if they give you a small tip that they won't see anything good.

3.  Remind the guys in your room about your higher goal, but be careful not to sound like a beggar.  So as you build up the small goals on your way to your larger goal you are making money all along, and you are making your time pay, while keeping it fun for the guys.

Here are some tips for your Clips4Sale store or MyGirFund account:

1. Have a set goal on what you want to earn for each set, you can add other things in as a bonus, but make sure you know what you are actually getting per set or per video. Factor in the % that the site takes and the cost of the payout for every set.

2. Be sure to cultivate a set of regulars that you can go to every time you upload a new video. If you have 10-20 regulars that you say hi to and talk to on a regular basis, when you upload a new clip or set, they are very likely to buy, so you could easily sell 10 copies of a video the day you upload it, just to your regulars. If you are making $10-$15 per video, that's a $100 day right off the bat after only 10 mins of work!

3. Try to avoid sob stories. It is tempting to be honest with guys about what your situation is but it's actually counterproductive. Instead of finding guys who are interested in you and want to be friends/supporters, you are broadcasting that you are depressing and people tend to stay away from depressing people. If you want to attract guys and customers, you need to be positive and interesting, since people gravitate towards positive, interesting people.

Last post on Support My Scam.

I got an email today from the owner of Support My Wish explaining that the site was sort of open.

Yay.

Buried in the email was confirmation that this site is a low rent clone of MyGirlFund or MyFreeImplants:

"Due to these changes, we will not longer be offering the promotional offer. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you but we feel the free male sign up option will be more beneficial to all members."

So here's what these hustlers did - they started spamming cam girls, even my own Twitter,  telling us that if we signed up male members to the site they would pay us 'unlimited' $50 bonuses for signing guys up:


Now that they are ready to launch, and girls have been hustling for weeks, even months, they yank the bonuses.

Bottom line: SCAM - STAY AWAY.

Support My Wish? Support My Scam, more like. **UPDATED**

**UPDATE**

So I thought it was strange that people were swarming all over my silly little blog and I wondered why girls were all excited for some site that hadn't even launched and looked slapped together, well here's the reason: the owner has been paying girls to post positive things about the site:

Screencap from another blog:



Here's an interesting development.

Let me say first off, I have no axe to grind with any of these sites, I just spend a lot of time working from home and I wanted to publish what I've learned. It's 2011, it's tough out there. I'm surviving, and there's no reason most girls can't with a little creativity.

So that said, I published the post about Virtual Love Affair getting caught with their pants down. Practically the same day someone posted a comment about VLA being shady, but there being ANOTHER new site that is WAY better than all the other sites called SupportMyWish. Which is weird, that someone pops up, commenting on a site few people have heard of by spamming a site NOBODY has heard of.

So I decided to investigate.

Why has nobody heard of SupportMyWish? Well possibly because until about 2 weeks ago it didn't exist. At all. Suddenly, they pop up with a new domain and a new Twitter account and then they start emailing girls...suspiciously they start emailing girls who signed up for VLA.

How weird is that? A site that isn't even 30 days old, seems to know how to get in touch with cam girls and online models all of a sudden!?!

On top of that on Februaty 17th SupportMyWish starts tweeting like crazy, promising to pay girls to get guys to join. And, coincidentally, while VLA was very active on Twitter, just the day before SupportMyWish starts tweeting, VLA's Twitter dies with some mysterious message about the "MGF hacker".


So, conclusion is pretty easy to draw: Virtual Love Affair and SupportMyWish are the same dirtbags trying to take advantage of girls.

Fuck them, stick with sites that are established and pay: MyFreeCams, LiveJasmin, MyGirlFund, you know who they are because they have been around.

Amazing new opportunity.

Okay, this isn't quite a "work from home" opportunity, but it's an interesting way to make money in this economy! It's a new dating site called What's Your Price. No, it's not prostitution! It's like Ebay for dating - guys and girls register, you set a price that a guy is willing to pay for your time, if a guy thinks you're worth it, a date is made.

This is far better than regular dating...well you can see why. Think about how many shitty dates you have been on and you got nothing for your time or effort but a few beers and a slob trying to lick your tonsils.

Well no more, ladies! Now you know no matter how the date goes that the guy really wants to be there and will be trying to impress you. I already signed up, created a profile and have already gotten a few offers, though I haven't gone on a date yet - if/when I do I'll update you. I suggest you check it out for yourself, though.

Interesting new Opportunity!

I took time off from dissing shady site owners to do some actual research today and ran across a really interesting work-from-home concept: MyPhoneSite.

What is it? It's a company that allows you to run your own per minute phone line and associated website. The possibilities are limitless, but the thing of it is, you can decide what you are good at and turn it into CASH. If you give great decorating advice, if you know how to troubleshoot recipies, or want to help people with their love lives, you can set up anything you want, and anything you are expert at!

There are a few details to navigate but the site looks very promising for girls who would like to work at home but don't care to get into sexy work. I checked out the FAQ and it seems pretty straightforward:

Simply log-in to your site when you are available, and calls will be anonymously routed to your phone - so nobody will have your number.

You then simply point relevent customers to your site, which will dispaly a green icon if you are available.

You can charge up to $5/Min, and this can easily be changed at any time. For a 5-10 minute conversation, that's a solid paycheck.

Interesting Support My Wish and Virtual Love Affair development.

For reals, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably a duck. And if you are a self employed cam girl that duck is probably trying to get in your pockets like a virtual pimp.

I posted below about two new sites that are heavily recruiting girls Virtual Love Affair and Support My Wish  and they seem to be heavily recruiting the same girls. Which seems like a huge coincidence, two guys, one in the UK and one in who the hell knows where suddenly have the same idea and start promoting it the same way. I mean, like sure that could happen. But that isn't the point.

The point is that these sites act like scammers. Examples?

Well example number 1 - both of the OWNERS of those sites came to my little blog and left comments defending themselves. Can you IMAGINE the owners of MFC or LiveJasmin or some legit site tracking me down and leaving a comment on my stupid work from home for girls blog? Yeah, no.

You know who does that? SMALL TIMERS.

You know what we have to fear from SMALL TIMERS? We have to fear them disappearing and leaving no trace and taking our money. How do I know these guys are small timers? Well, here's an easy example - take a look at the TOS (terms of service) from Support My Wish there's a weird section that seems out of place:

"K. GOVERNMENT RIGHTS
The software elements of the Materials have been developed at private expense and are "commercial computer software" or "restricted computer software" within the meaning of the FARs, the DFARs, and any other similar regulations relating to government acquisition of computer software."

So weird. WTF is a FAR or a DFAR? I can say personally I have no idea, but if we check the Googles we get this:

http://www.atkpetites.com/terms.htm

So weird. This guy who claims he's Mr. Legit, just ripped off his terms of service from a random porn site. Are you really going to trust a guy who couldn't even hire a lawyer to write this important part of his website? If you don't think it's a rip off, just click over and look, it's fairly obvious that the TOS were ripped off because the numbering scheme is completely random, as if someone posted it after copying and pasting it. Parts of it use roman numerals, parts of it use capital letters for sections, parts of it use regular numbers in no particular order.

Since they'll probably remove it as soon as they see it here's a screenshot.

Wanna see something even funnier? Their privacy policy:

http://www.supportmywish.com/privacy-policy.php

Highlight a sentence and Google it, just take out the parts where they say "SMW" and leave them blank. What's the first result you get when Googling SMW's privacy policy? It's MYGIRFUND's privacy policy - try it! It's an EXACT copy of the privacy policy on MyGirlFund - except for one thing-

The part where MGF actually talks about the real security they have? SSL:

"We take every precaution to protect our visitors' information.

That is pure sketchiness.

Virtual Love Affair - Virtual SCAM?

Twitter went nuts earlier this week with a revelation that a new site on the scene 'Virtual Love Affair' is some kind of password fishing scam:

"ATTN LADIES .. if u signed up to be a part of virtual love affair please read my blog about there security issues your content is NOT safe"

Seemed like a really weird reason to set up a site, but it's 2011, so who knows? It did inspire me to learn more about VLA, which I was initially not that interested in because of their relentless spamming of dozens of sites. Two things leaped out at me which set up all kinds of red flags:

1. If you break a rule at VLA, they take your money. This is a huge scam alert! Why should they settle for a small percentage of your cash when they can accuse you of some BS violation and swipe your money. AVOID. Red flag! Any site that has in its terms of service that they can basically rob you is an obvious SCAM!

2. All of their payments are by eWallet, virtual Visa type things. Another huge red flag for one simple reason: these companies are NOTORIOUSLY fly by night and the odds of one of them disappearing with your money are better than you think. There is only one eWallet company that anyone would or SHOULD trust - PayPal and PayPal doesn't allow anything adult. Why? Because companies in the adult market can be hella SHADY (see point number one above.)

Oursourcing payments to eWallet companies is a screw for us girls as well. How bad? Most of them charge you AT LEAST 5% just to get your money! Then another $5 or $9 ON TOP OF THAT.  Imagine paying 5% of your cash just to get it when suddenly one day your card stops working and your balance disappears. Think it can't happen? Try Googling "Epassporte" and look at the other suggestions: "Epassporte Scam", "Epassporte Rip Off", "Epassporte Shut Down".

Bottom line on Virtual Love Affair, shady as hell, stay away.

Big news from MyGirlFund.

You can see the MyGirlFund news from their site here. Basically what they did was change up the entire online industry by slashing their fees! They cut their processing fees from 35% to 10%.

Wow.

I'm going to do some research on the terms, but it looks like MyGirlFund has just changed the entire social/sugar daddy/cam industry.

New Year, New Stuff.

I have been doing a little bit of research online and doing a bit of online work and actually making some money at it!

I know, whodathunkit?

The biggest thing I have run into in my travels is the widely differing fees that sites that you can use for work charge. Sites like PayPal and Fiverr charge the lowest, BUT the earnings are the lowest. The sites where you earn the most cash are the more adult ones BUT they take the most - up to 70% of your earnings in some cases!

So in the next few weeks I'm going to research the prices on every work from home site out there and get to the bottom of this for you!
