Models For Fun
ModelsforFun is Voyeurweb's latest addition: It is a photo and video site called modelsforfun.com and shows the erotic work of professional models and professional photographers.
Here is what Igor says about Modelsforfun.com (aka MFF):
"You can't fight the internet" has a already become a classic quote and is more true than ever before: Voyeurweb, Redclouds and Homeclips were made for true amateurs to display their photos, to gather feedback on their work, to establish contact with other folks having the same mindset and of course to be awarded. On the other side we were facing "pros" from day 1. Pros who were trying to top all amateurs with their better photo work and head for the awards of the hugest erotic amateur site on the internet. Later on things cooled down a little bit during the "golden years of internet porn" between 2001 and 2008: There were ten-thousands of little pro sites showing one or two girls trying to survive. Then the financial crisis happened out of nowhere and users stopped paying for little sites: The internet adult industry lost more than 50% revenue within a few months and thousands of little sites did not survive.
Around that time we noticed that we were getting flooded by pros and semi-pros. All of a sudden winning a USD1000 award meant a lot again. And we spent more and more time to identify "fake amateurs", to identify "serial shooters", "wannabe models" and and and. As much pain and headache those pros meant to us and as much disappointment they meant to our real amateurs trying to make a good final rank in the contests, most of our viewers liked them: They voted them high and they left a lot of feedback!
The challenge was: The sexy models are out there. Their work is appreciated by our viewers. However models and pro photographers should not compete against our true amateurs. And it's not a secret that they "do it" for the money. The logical solution: Let's build a platform for those models. We called that platform "modelsforfun.com".
Everybody can become a "MFFer", which means someone who contributes for MFF. We made things very simple - it does not require any technical or webmaster skills to become an MFFer: Register an MFF account and then start uploading photos and clips exactly the same way that a regular contributor uploads to VW, RC or HC. But what about so-called "traffic"? Who will look at an MFF site? For every 3 uploaded MFF contris, we accept one "open MFF-link contri" to be displayed at VW, RC or HC. That contri will be shown for free or to our existing RC and HC members. Of course the MFF-link contri will not be ranked at the end of the month and cannot win any regular award. It means:
- Our viewers and RC/HC members will benefit from MFF as well, because they will see more contris - and the MFF-linking contris will definitely not be the worst ones on display...
- Our true amateurs will not face any interference or face any disadvantage - they might even learn from what they see and improve their own photo work
But what about the money motivation?
- There is no general "sign up" for MFF. Viewers can only sign up through one of the MFF-models - but will of course have access to all MFF content!
- 50% of the sign up fee will go to the MFF model.
What about photographers?
- Each photographer can display up to 199 models under his MFF account. The money will go to the photographer, and it is up to the photographer to keep his models happy.
What about participating at VW contests?
- MFFers can participate at any VW/RC/HC contest but will not receive any money awards. Those rewards will go to the next "true amateur" in line.
Further thoughts:
As this is all new to me too, I cannot tell you exactly where MFF will be heading. We launched it on 16 Jan 2012 with more than 60 models and more than 4000 pics and videos. I expect lots of fine-tuning and improvements within the first weeks. After that, I do have a few wishes for the next version of MFF on my list, which of course need to be discussed with MFFers first:
- To be able to "send gifts" to a MFF model - as well her to pose with that gift in the next contri, like for example in some panty you bought for her
- To chat with MFF models on chat or even video chat
- To recruit "niche-models": Why not featuring MFF-models specialized on something, like for example kinky masturbation, high heels fetish, face sitting, god knows what....as long as it nor obscene I am game!!!
I will keep you informed on VW and on MFF
Yours
