Members: What motivates you to join a camgirls "club"?

[caireen]

I'm curious to those of you who have joined a camgirls club/fan group/whatever she calls it, why did you join? What makes you want to join? Is it because she is offering things that make it a great deal (for example, a bunch of videos that works out cheaper if you join)? Or something exclusive, like a members-only video? Or is it just to be part of it/show your support? Or all of the above?

 

[Honey Moon]

Curious to know this too!

 

[Crumb]

I've only ever joined one. but I guess I'm in another one now..
When it comes to my favourites, I'm mostly a 'just because' tipper. it's not due to the perks of the club, I join/ed to show support and I would have tipped anyway, so why not.

 

[RogueWarrior]

I'm pretty sure you are asking the wrong audience The majority of guys on here have figured it out.

Personally, I don't pay for any of the extras. There are caveats. I don't want content. I tip. I don't need to say "How are you" in a PM.

I never seem to have enough tokens to join a club (or even for privates or skypes). I just never think that far ahead when I am in a room. For some reason I'm just excited, and living in the moment in a room with a model and just tip in free chat. Some dudes know what they are doing and time that stuff out so they get maximum amount for their dollar (including clubs and stuff) but I am pretty much the opposite. It would be nice to be in a club, but until I learn how to be less of a free chat tipper, I probably won't be a part of one.

 

[Protocosmo]

The amount of tokens required for most clubs I've seen would max out my monthly MFC budget. So, I have the choice of either participating in day to day tipping activities throughout the month or tipping the one time. It's a big decision!

That said, I've only ever joined one club and that's because I really like the model, had the spare cash and liked the perks.

 

[DuoShi]

I rarely join clubs, because they cost so much. However, if I think the video deal associated with them is worth it, I'll do it. If the club is just one video and a bunch of other stuff like Skype, photosets, etc., I won't join. I'm all about the video deals.

 

[Kelsey Star]

i'm am curious about this as well, i have just made my new cam website http://kstarcams.com/home
i'm curious what type of video guys would like, i'm aware of foot fetishes and stuff like that, but im not into dom stuff or anything remotely discusting.

i love to take naughty videos and pics. i'm interested to see whats most popular.

 

[HiGirlsRHot]

This thread from Sept on clubs is the best I've seen on ACF. Myriads comments were particularly good. As DuoShi says videos I think are probably the safest thing to offer because most guys do buy and value videos. Go to a site like manyvids and see the wide variety of out there. I'd say make as many types of videos as you feel comfortable making. It is really hard to predict which will do the best.

Proto, what were the perks that caused you to join the club? Were they videos, pictures, texts, tangible goods? Help us out here.

 

[Ambers Troll]

I am not the kind of member to join clubs, if I join one it is usually by accident (I just tip enough on that occasion to join). The reward content can be a nice bonus, but my go to porn viewing is usually my archived private collection, so I rarely watch things like non personalized videos more than once.

There is one exception, I do enjoy @JoleneBrody 's SLF desktop. I sometimes see one I just have to have and I will join for that month. The quality, and creativity of JJ's content along with how generous she is with her supporters will always keep me curious about her next offer.

I suspect with fan clubs, putting in the work, and creating ways to really reward your best supporters does not go unnoticed by members (even those who can't join). I don't think the perks matter too much, but do think they should be of more value than what tipping or going private is to the member, otherwise we will always choose that.
I suspect skype time, phone time, extra snaps (i.e more time or exclusive time with the model) would be the number one reason to join a club. Exclusive content would be high on the list too.

For my suggestion with specific rewards, a classy (one that can be kept out publicly) and high quality photograph, that the member can keep somewhere to remind him of you would be a good club addition. A pity calendars can only be an annual gift, what models need is a secure electronic calendar app, that they can send their latest snaps/ pics to as a club reward.

 

[JoleneBrody]

@Ambers Troll YOU!!!!! *sniff* thank you crazy pants. The desktops are some of my proudest work and I get so excited to share them, so it means a lot that you are excited to see them!

Ummm.... I could take her private.
I mean, all picture sets for life was pretty good too but it was the privates.

Other than MFC clubs, what motivates you guys to join member sites? Especially the modelcentro member sites that a lot of girls have these days.

I'm assuming you meant model sites. If so, I join when the model releases more than one good looking video. To elaborate, if a model releases two or three within the span of a month or two, I'll join the following month to watch them, then I cancel, because I don't like recurring payments aside from Xbox Live and luxury bills like phone service. Some model sites used to do weekly or bi-weekly site cam shows, and those used to draw me in. However, the lack of population on those sites caused that to stop.

I'll add another layer on to the video thing. I'm not that big a fan of repeated video themes in a short period of time. For example, dildo riding is my 2nd favorite video theme to watch, but I won't join a site, if the last 3 out of 4 videos are dildo rides. I just get bored watching the same thing over and over.

 

[LuxVendetta]

Well, no. They're called member sites. Sure, you can refer to the website as the model's site, but it's technically a members site if it gives the option to buy a monthly membership.

Okie dokes.

 

[Zoomer]

Nothing motivates me to join clubs. I wouldn't even join clubs of my favourite (friend-esque) models - it'd hold no interest beyond perhaps helping support a little. However, I don't really do that as I don't want to be the dependent who is turned to during leaner times. If they're reliant upon my contributions, then something has gone very wrong.

Anyway, enough about me In my opinion you'd need to consider your audience, or more likely, what sort of audience you want and what sort of effort you are willing to put into it.

Is it purely fapping member? Then pics/vids. (for niche, substitute in costumes etc).
Is it for the personal interaction aspect? Then snapchat or private twitter account about life outside of your on cam time.
Is it for chit-chat? Then private message access.

You could probably create a fusion of all of that, but then you may get a fuck-a-ton of work to do You could possibly create "levels" which include previous "levels" as bonus. But rather than ask what people want, I'd figure out your own boundaries of what you're willing The last thing anyone wants is to pay money for a fanclub to find it half-assed as the person wants the money but not to put in the effort that goes with it.

Define boundaries/borders/comfort/willingness. Split it out into who it may appeal to, create groups, and possibly put limits on the numbers for each (i.e personal interaction may be something you'd be okay doing for 2 or 3 members... and if 20-30 members want it, then it goes to the highest bidders?). Sure, canvass what people would like - but keep in mind that that may not translate into the views of many members

However, I've nothing to do with cam girls and or business so meh

I haven't joined any of those, but I'd consider it. My experience of joining single model website is they are good for the first few months, and then the new content starts to dwindle. I'll generally try them out initially and then fork over a year membership cause its a lot cheaper/month. So for me a factor in joining these would be longevity.

 

[Roger]

Echoing many of the other member comments here.

I am typically not motivated by any of the "perks" or contents of the club (which does not mean I do not enjoy them). It's more just to show support for the model. I hate to admit it, but I think there is also an Ego portion for me as well to see my name listed on a profile.

As this may also be related to what I think you are trying to get at in your original question, below are the "perks / benefits" that I would value the most and that I have tipped for.
1) Offline interaction (kik, snapchat, private twitter, etc.)
2) Access to secret tip menu / "members only" tip menu.
3) Videos / Exclusive videos

 

[anon_imgone]

I've never joined any groups, and I never buy into the videos, clips, panties etc. thing. I tip because I like what I see or to support the model, if I happened to tip the amount for a video and she offers one then sure I'll take it but I don't intentionally do that. I can see why some guys like it because it sounds cool they get "exclusive" content and their name on the models profile but some are pretty expensive, especially if the model wants you to tip the amount every month to stay in the club. Some even have different ranks and each one costs more and more.

 

[Suverin]

I have mainly joined fan clubs on CB when I am out of tokens, and the only thing CB lets me use credit cards on is subsriptions.

 

[subgavin]

All of the above, to some degree. Wanting to support / be part of things is certainly a part of it - much as I of course know it's a strictly professional relationship, it's still nice to be able to drop into a room and be noticed right away and greeted with apparently genuine warmth, even if I'm not able to be there very often.

But there's some degree of direct return involved as well, of the two I'm in one of them was only an extra few hundred over and above the snapchat I was going to sign up to anyway, so clearly there's an element of calculation. (My other one was pretty much an impulse thing in a room I'd only been in a couple of times - and then I've hardly seen her since as she's been out of action for health reasons for a few weeks, so I'm not sure how that one is going to work out yet.)

 

[MDouble00]

I've never been readily interested in joining any Models club and the one or two times I have it has been on accident. Or I just tipped the model enough and she put me in on her own. I find for the most part the clubs require a larger token contribution than the value they really deliver.I feel like the same thing is happening with models that sell their snapchat they promise a certain amount of activity and then very rarely do anything with it. I know quite a few that oversold members needing to buy their snaps for the convention this week, and then snapped like a handful of times over the course of a couple of days. I would say the only thing models have that I will continue to buy on a regular basis are videos either directly or off a site like manyvids. Videos seem to always live up to their price points, whereas clubs and Snapchat exclusive memberships don't in my opinion.

Totally agree--couldn't have said it better. These clubs have similarities with "loyalty clubs" promoted by retailers, grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. With only one exception I can think of, I haven't joined loyalty clubs because they don't provide much added value to me.

With respect to cam model clubs, I don't want to spend a lot of money on an arrangement that has a lot of promised future benefits/content and other commitments, because those benefits may never be fulfilled, or may be only partially fulfilled, because the model loses interest in camming, or quits for various reasons. It's not just the potential loss of money, it's the mental burden of having to keep track of this stuff in my mind ("Has model X sent me anything this month?"), when this is supposed to be entertainment. This is more of a concern with newish models (< 6 months or so). The amount of turnover among new models makes any club arrangement too risky to bother with, IMO. I would rather purchase videos and other content a la carte.

If I'm going to spend $100 or more on a club, I'd prefer it to be backed by an entity (e.g., like a retailer in the example of loyalty clubs) that I know will be there to honor their end of the deal next month, next year and five years from now. The nature of the cam modeling business precludes this sort of certainty, except perhaps for those few models who have been doing this for years and run it like a business (which it is).

 

[subgavin]

That's where I differ then, if I spend tokens then they're more or less immediately written off and forgotten about, I'm not going to spend time trying to work out if I'm getting value for money from it or not.

 

[ACFFAN69]

I'm the same was as most of the others, I'll generally only join the club to show my support to the model rather then due to active selling points.

I'm a little surprised at peoples reactions to snapchat though, that is one of my favourite purchases and any model that actively sells them usually has done a great job at updating it in my experience. At worst it's been "satisfactory", but for a "lifetime" thing it seems like a deal anyways. The ones that don't snap all that often have given it away to me "for free" at the end of the night. so I've yet to feel disappointed with the purchase.

Occasionally though you end up adding models that go above and beyond the amount snaps you expect like @JoleneBrody, @LioraVox, or Pumpkinspice_and you feel like you got a steal on it.

 

[Judas Thundersteel]

I joined only one because it was cheap, I had the money to spare, it was a way to be...somebody while I have no tokens, and I just really love this particular woman. I want to join others, I may do so in regards to one by the end of the week because of free ticket shows, and she does them weekly. Plus I've gotten a secret raging boner for her. Secret in the sense that I don't share it with her.

 

[Entertainer33]

I have joined one club. It was a spur of the moment thing because something about the girl just clicked with me. She was warm and welcoming, and it was in an affordable range for me.

There was a 5 minute skype date that was the clincher for me, since you wanted specifics.

 

[NickiYoung]

It's nice to see all the feedback. Id love to see even more
