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. We have implemented security policies, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control from unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorized modification, unlawful destruction, or accidental loss. MGF utilizes Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software when receiving and transmitting electronic payments. MGF encrypts the information that you provided."

Support My Wish deleted that section, because they probably don't have any real security.

That is pure sketchiness.
