InternetModeling.com is the worst possible website you can work for. They do not payout their agents like they say they do and will lie about models earnings if they DO actually pay you.

They treat their models like [censored] and to get started they require you to FAX them your information they will not accept scanned documents!

Do not work for them it will be the worst mistake!

I signed up over 300 models and over 60 agents, 100 models are active, and what is strange that these 100 are active for months. But it's like number never gets over 100 and I stopped getting higher earnings. One moment my model just vanished and they didn't know what is going on. I cannot see my accepted models or training one, like I said the more models i send them the less I earn, It was good before but now for 100 models I earn $40 a week. And honestly I think I've been ripped off...

They are the worst their payout is actually more like 10% even though they tell you it's 30 or 40 they are liars Janet Ross is terrible. Do yourself a favor and signup with streamate or live jasmin do not get caught up in this scam.

I'm a model with internet modeling and my sister is the agent who referred me. I started about 3 weeks ago and I'm on for two to three hours a night about 4 or 5 nights a week. My first week I spent the most time on learning how the sites work. I made about $100 and each week the payout has been higher as I've gained a few fans and regulars. It supplements my income and has been GREAT in that I work on my time, I don't have to leave my home and its sooo sooo much fun. To become a model sign up athttp://www.internetmodeling.com/20013/application.htm
As an agent my sister makes 10% of my earnings, but its not taken from my earning. So basically you make the same whether you join with or with out a referral. If you are interested in becoming an agent you can sign up here http://www.internetmodeling.com/20013/become_an_agent.htm
Good luck and happy camming!

InternetModeling, like many others, is a very old school studio which takes a massive portion of the model's earnings and uses it to pay a tiny cut to its affiliate "agents".

Both the agents and the models would be far better off doing things independently. Setting up a Streamate studio is absurdly easy for an agent, and far more profitable for both the agent and the model.

Parts of the adult industry thrive on the ignorance and/or naivete of the models and "agents." If your business plan relies on locking naive models or agents into unfair contracts, it is by definition a scam. A value added service should not lock down models for a whole year after wanting to leave.

My own programs pay models nearly DOUBLE that of IM, camsharks, vividcams, etc, without the brutal contracts. I also have a free tutorial with very easy steps for agents to make their own studios and make 2x to 3x what any affiliate program would pay - and not screw models at the same time. www.boleynmodels.com

I would also recommend asking around on any legitimate cammodel community what studios mean to them, or if any studio you find is a good deal:

This is hilarious. I worked for them 3 months ago and i'm still waiting for my first check. only 70 dollars but i really need the money. I keep contacting HR and Janet and they both keep saying that the check is "processed" which takes 90 days. Well, it's been past 90 days hun. And I would really like to get my check. They kind of do treat me like ### because everytime i try to contact them they tell me the same bogus ###. I'm not stupid. The address is correct. Stop asking me if it is correct. I'm sick of it, and about to call a lawyer.

Internet Modeling is a great site. It usually only takes about 2-3 days for a model to become active after they fill out the paper work. Please give them a try. You will NOT regret it.

We need models of all sizes, shapes and sexual orientation. Both singles and couples are invited. We pay our models 70% of total earnings on our amateur network, $0.80/minute for premium chat on our high traffic network, 70% lifetime revenue share for recording videos, plus a weekly bonus of up to 30% with a double bonus paid out during your first two weeks. With Premium Chat more than one paying customer can be in your room at the same time, so if there are 10 customers, you would earn $8.00 per minute. Then you could make $480 for a SINGLE HOUR of work, with the potential to make $500 an hour with more viewers.

We have models who have made over $2, 000 in a single day, so what you make will depend on you. The odds are, whatever you make with us is more than you would make working as a webcam model anywhere else. So, if you would like to make thousands of dollars per week having lots of fun, then just click on one of the links below (or copy and paste it into your browser):

http://www.internetmodeling.com/21691/application.htm

With over 5 million visitors a day, this sight is guaranteed to earn you money. No need to leave the comfort of your own home. Work as often as you like by setting your own hours.

Or, if you would like to become a recruiter (like me), then go to:
http://www.internetmodeling.com/21691/become_an_agent.htm

Recruiters/Agents make 10% commission for each model that they recruit. So, for example, if a model makes $500 in a week, then you will make $50. If you have ten active models, then you make $500 a week! If each of your 10 models make $1000 in a week, then you do too.

If you would just like to be a customer then use one of the links below to get access to tons of hot, online action:

Disclaimer: Must be 18 years or older to apply. We DO NOT accept agents or models from the following countries: Philippines, Romania, Colombia, Venezuela, Nigeria, Indonesia, Thailand, Estonia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Lybia.

I recently applied to work for Janet and I have has no problems, I applied at naked.com and no response, I am new with no experience and Janet has given me a great opportunity, my first day on cam was yesterday and I was online for 4 hours my very first time, I received 8 fans and 80 tokens, I am so pleased, I was busy, I am full figured, I was so nervous but my confidence was built, the experience was fun and I am truly great flu for the opportunity to make legitimate income at home.

No problems at all, the staff has been nice and I would recommend anyone with no experience to start with them.

Internet models site stole my earning the week I was supposed to be getting a 70% pay out and I have only a 20% pay out I have been complaining to the company about it trying to get In touch with Janet Ross who never gets back to me asking for another agent because I never hear from her! Than my earnings that should of been $200 but were $50 because I am only getting a %20 pay out disappeared this week! Janet Ross says she has no record of it! I was with a customer for almost 2 hours and all the money I thought I'd have has been erased so I'm going to take them to civil court so I can get back my earnings!

I had a Problem as an agent, I had one model under my referral link and she still on pending since July of this year and she still being on pending, so I guess this website is a lie at least for all that people who are referring models to this website, so I send a ticket with a question about that and no one reply to the ticket, they said that someone will answer my question during 48 working hours, but I still waiting for that email, so I think this website is an SCAM!

WOW. If I would have just done my research before I signed up to internetmodeling.com! They truly do act like they are easy to work with, but they will not pay you! My first check was only $100 but I still needed the money a lot, and it never showed up. It says that I was paid but I never was. Janet Ross has never replied back. Stay away from this site

When I made the decision to be a camgirl, I did A LOT of research. Internetmodeling frequently came up as good to work for. So I started the process to sign up at their website, but I never even got the chance do do anything with them and after reading this, I'm glad I didn't. Here's what happened (or essentially didn't happen). I first submitted all the documentation they require - photo, photo id, tax document, etc. I didn't hear back from them about my application for a whole week. Finally, they got back to me about my application. I logged in and there was an email that said "the following corrections are required before we can process your application." Didn't tell me what the errors are, what needed I needed to do to correct them. I emailed them back - you should hear back in 1-2 days. Well, it's been another whole week and still no response. I decided to stop chasing and waiting around them, I moved on and registered with streamatemodels directly, I was able to start working in 2 days and I'm very happy so far with Streamate, their support has been great. If Internetmodeling is going to ignore a client like this, it's very unprofessional and I can only imagine how bad things could get had I decided to continue with them . They just seem a bit fishy, I'd stay away.

In my experience working for Internet Models, Janet really seem like a very understanding person. After I explained my personal situation and why I had to leave, she understood and paid me my earnings as promised. She seems to care about the women who work for Internet Models. As many times, you need to email her, she will reply and will not ignore you, that's no lie I'm sure Krissy is also the same way, once you get to know. Krissy sent my check right out to me and even informed me, after I emailed Janet.

After waiting out my year-long lockout after working with InternetModeling, I got the chance finally to sign up with BoleynModels.

The difference is literally night and day. I get paid 50% more (!) for working on the exact same websites. My pay comes DAILY like clockwork. I had a minor issue with my bank and their support helped me out within a few minutes. They even issued me a pay stub for my earnings and I was able to use that to rent an apartment. Katy is awesome!

The best part is, no f***** lock out if I decide to go independent later (but with 30-35% payout, there's no real need). They release you immediately if you leave their program to start working for yourself. This was probably the biggest part of the InternetModeling scam...they take HALF your earnings and if you quit, you're banned from working on Streamate for a YEAR!

Even with paying us more, the affiliate referrals even make more money than InternetModeling. I have no idea why these lame idiots keep trying to advertise for them when BoleynModels (and probably other cammodel sites) pay a lot more for referrals.

Want to know whether any of these agencies are a scams or not ? Lets see if any Agent is willing to post their earnings report ? Make a screenshot of your earnings report and upload them here . You can hide your Agent Code if you wish to be anonymous, yet represent your agencies with some proof, some number$ and you would get a lot more sign ups . Thats how i would market . Maybe these agencies should have hired me. haha

Just gonna throw my hat into the ring here...

I was an agent with internet modeling a few years back.

Looking at my stats I referred 374 models and 60 agents in less than 6 weeks and made nearly $10k over the course of the next 12 months.

They do pay and it can be a very lucrative business if you put in the time.

Anyway.

If you want to signup as either a model or affiliate and earn top dollar like the big boys and girls...

Here's my shameless affiliate link to get started...
