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.
