Model Manual
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of Aspen Modeling Company. Being a model on AMC is a great privilege. Our goal is to make everybody money, but in order to do so it is necessary that the models who appear on AMC perform to the best of their ability.
This guide describes the standards that we MUST follow and demand of all models that appear on AMC in order for us to give the best customer service and maintain our professional reputation.
KNOW YOUR WEB SITE
Having a complete understanding of how the WEB CAM Network operates will help you sell shows. Your knowledge of AMC is vital to assisting customers to navigate the site. The site can be confusing and overwhelming to a new customer. Become the new customer's friend and assist him/her when they need help. Site knowledge is a powerful tool to gain a customer's confidence. Be your own monitors, know more than the customers do. A few questions that customers might ask you that you should know the answers to:
* How many credits does a private show cost?
* What does a private show consist of?
* How do I sign up?
* Why do they want my credit card information if the site is free?
* Why do I have to call customer service to activate my account?
* I bought credits and it says I don't have any, what do I do?
* What do you mean with Free Chat? I paid to be here.
* How do I buy credits?
* Are you really live?
* Do you offer cam2cam? How does cam2cam work?
* Can I email you?
It's always a good idea to go to the site and see what the customer sees. Become an expert on how to get around the site, sign up, buy credits and enter private shows, voyeur, etc. This will only help you make more money!
CONDUCT IN OPEN ROOM AND PRIVATE
For compliance reasons, we must absolutely follow these guidelines. Customers do not need a credit card to enter; therefore we need each and every model that appears on cam to strictly abide by the Broadcasting Rules. Failure to do so will result in monetary penalties, as well as possible termination from working on AMC. We take these offenses very seriously.
TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS
Under no circumstances are models to wear brand names of any kind on their clothing while on cam. Furthermore, there should never be (for example) a Coca-Cola can visible while a model is on cam. No music of any kind can be heard over the audio while performing on cam.
The Canada/United States has very strict laws for violating trademarks or copyrights. Protect yourselves and your models from this illegal activity.
MAXIMIZING YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL
FRENZY. Frenzy is the number of members in your free chat that are going nuts to see you naked, do certain acts, get to know you, typing in CAPS to get your attention, etc. Selling shows is a numbers game. The more visitors you can keep in your chat, the better.
We see your room having two doors one where they enter and one where they exit. Let's talk about how to close the exit door. Holding interest will effectively close the exit door and cause your User Count to go up. How do you hold interest It's not so hard, if you are actively posing, showing off and talking with some erotic overtones. Remember, this is a site based on SEX and bringing the subject back to SEX in subtle ways is critical to maintain User Count.
Good Frenzy is a lot of room visitors chatting at a fast pace, asking for everything under the sun. The more excited they are the more you will sell. We want to suggest that the best way to control your room is to let the comments fly, fast and furious. Do not attempt to control the chatters styles or whether or not they type in CAPS or lower case. You may have a brand new member that has no chat experience that has purchased 10, 20 or 30 minutes of time for a 1on1 show. Pissing off that new User by telling them to drop their CAPS could cost you a long show and a lot of minutes. Would you rather have all calm chatters typing in lower case or be selling more minutes and not caring about CAPS or the overall Frenzy in your room?
The more Frenzy you drive the more brains you affect. Let's face it, at a per minute rate of show time we MUST get their brains out of their heads! Men see their wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, secretaries and coworkers sit and type or do bills or watch TV every day, give them a reason to stay in your room that they cannot find in their real lives.
CHAT MIXTURE. Why is it good to talk to the room as a group? We think 75% comments to the room as a group and 25% to individuals is a good mix. One of the best ways to control the chatters is to not pay each person too much attention. Comments to the group as a whole convey a very subtle message, and that message is If you want my individual attention, buy a 1on1 Private to get it. We're not saying don't chat with the Free Chat people, but we are saying less chat directed at each individual person is a good thing. Acknowledging the new guy that just enters your chat room is very good. Even if his first comment is, Show me your pussy/cock you can let him know you see him with a simple, tolerating reply like jeez NEW USER, aren't you going to say Hi first?? At least they know you saw them and you're not bringing the atmosphere down with negativity. After that, continue talking to the group.
Use HUMOR and a POSITIVE approach. We like the style of talking to the group as a whole, with less emphasis on individual chat because of the tone it sets. The message is I'm not here to make money I'm just naturally horny and do this to get off. It is truly amazing what the chatters will believe! We're going to list some comments that we think are good things to say to the group. The things you say to the room, as a group is limitless. If you strike a nerve with the chatters with one of your come on comments run with it for all it's worth, and let the chatters join in your fake fantasy. Below are a few examples:
I just took a nap and got online. I woke up so freakin horny!!!
I can't wait to get in a private show I'm so horny I"m gonna cum in 5 minutes.
I'm going to treat my next private show to some close-ups my doctor's never even seen.
Who is a good enough cyber-lover in here to make me cum in a show tonight??
I love knowing you are all getting hot watching me I"m such an exhibitionist!
mmmm, can't wait to get in a show tonight, I love being told what to do.
Are there any older men here? I have this new fantasy about older guys!
I've been so bad I was fantasizing about meeting one of you and letting you have your way with me hehehe.
NEVER SAY NO in your chat rooms! This is so important and it takes creativity on your part to answer all questions with positive responses. We know it sounds impossible to always say yes, so let us give some examples of how to say yes to chatters questions (even when your REAL answer is no.) Remember, the idea is to get them in private, you can sweat the details after they are in the show. Examples:
CharlieChatter: Do you do anal?? (Let's assume here that you don't do anal)
Model: Charlie, I'm an anal virgin, will you go slow with me in a private show if I try for you??
Charlie Chatter: Do you fist in private??
Model: Charlie, I can try for you, so far I can only do 3 fingers.
Charlie Chatter: What's your email address??
Model: Charlie, I only give my email address to my customers, I send them special surprises.
HANGERS ON. What are they? Hangers On are chatters that fall in love with you and spend every waking moment in your chat, but they NEVER buy a private show. How do you handle a Hanger On type person? The first is to stay polite but not give too much attention. Give just enough to keep them interested and coming back. Time works wonders for Hangers On. They tend to be slow to decide on signing up on the site. They have common fears about credit card security on the web, they may be on a limited budget, and they may just not believe in sex that isn't the real thing. I'm sure you've heard all the excuses from Hangers On types. Here are a few different ways to handle these hard-to-sell people.
Just stay nice. Don't put too much attention on them and see if time works, and they eventually sign up and purchase credits. This is tricky because the more attention you give them, the happier they are not buying anything.
After giving them some special attention to bolster their egos, try this little trick:
o Charlie, want to play a game with me?? (They will always say yes) Okay Charlie, I'm going to put you on a chat time out until you sign up and get a show. Make sure they see you giggling. If you try this, you need HUMOR with it.
Tell the customer how sweet they are and you understand how difficult it is to sign up and buy a show. Try to recruit them to help you sell your private shows. They'll jump on this until they realize there is nothing in it for them.
Work one Hanger On against another. Jealousy works wonders.
RUDE CUSTOMERS. No need to explain to you what a Rude Customer is. You’ve seen all kinds of them in your chat. This suggestion is radical and takes some amount of pride swallowing but it’s very effective and you will ultimately win. Rude Customers are all looking for the same thing: ATTENTION. They go for the negative attention and one reason they act like this is that they are so good at getting what they want, and that is negative attention. What you have going for you though is the fact that all Rude Customers are children at heart, immature people that are easily controlled with some creative thinking. Try this once; it will work 9 times out of 10. We know your first impulse is to kick them out, but try this formula. Compliment their behaviour and then ask a personal question. For example:
RUDECUSTOMER: SHOW ME YOUR PUSSY/COCK BITCH!!!
MODEL: Oh my! You are so demanding. I like that, where are you from??
We can almost guarantee this will catch them off-guard. It is the VERY last thing they expected to hear from you. The typical answer they give to this response is I'm from Chicago, why?? They are totally dumbfounded and you have just taken control. This is much easier than doing what we call Swatting a Hornet. When you take the negative approach with them and bitch them out and kick them out of your chat, they come back being more of an asshole and even more annoying. It’s a lot more fun to control these types than escalate a fight with them. ALWAYS REMAIN POSITIVE AND HAPPY ON CAMERA.
ACTING versus MODELING. We can’t tell you how many times we’ve come in a models chat to see her complaining to her/his room visitors about how slow it is or how when they are or sitting looking bored and sad. Who in their right mind is going to spend money on a girl/guy that is sitting there all angry and upset?? You have to act, and it has to be an Oscar performance. The chatters cannot know you are upset or feeling down. THEY WANT HAPPY GIRLS and GUYS.
Imagine this: a guy has a girl, guy or wife that’s all grumpy and bitchy. He waits for her to go to bed so he can get online and enjoy some hot girls/guys. He goes in your room and he sees you chatting about your problems! EXIT stage left!! He’s gone and so is his $$. We expect every model to be an actor/actress and not to let the room chatters know you are unhappy or upset. If you cannot act fresh, cheerful and sexy, sign off and come back on when you can put on a happy, sexy face.
GAME: How many of your chatters and show buyers think they have good game? We'd say it's right around 100%. What is your game? Is your game working? Do you always have a game plan in mind when you work your chat?
The money is in LONELY MEN and not horny men. If you notice any of the models you see that are in a long 1on1 show, you will notice the shows are usually talk shows, lots of typing with their outfits still on. There is a reason for that and the reason is the buyer is lonely and wants to talk. What do lonely buyers fantasize about? The lonely show buyer's fantasies are different than the sex show buyer's fantasies.
Lonely buyers fantasize about having a girl/guy like you, about dating you, courting you and maybe even being married to you. They want to introduce you to their friends, show you off and go out on the town with you on their arm. Lonely men do not want to end the show if they still have hope of reaching their fantasies. Sex show buyers on the other hand, masturbate and then leave. Appealing to the Lonely Buyer type is easy. ACT SINGLE! The game of acting single has to be subtle and coy. If you come on too strong they know you're working them.
Men will refuse to believe you are single even if you are. But, they do believe that you are going through a breakup. Everyone can relate to that because most everyone goes through breakups or knows someone that has. If your room has a low key, underlying message of I'm single and looking that's the best game you can put down. It will over time attract some lonely buyers, and with that comes longer shows with less physical work, more minutes and more $$.
WHERE ARE THE BUYERS???? How do you know if a chatter has an account? Are most buyers talking in Free Chat or lurking on the sidelines? How do you identify someone who will sign up and spend money? Are their countries that can't get accounts because of high credit card fraud? What age is the average buyer? How do you know whom to target? With the system not having a way for models to see who is a member and who isn™t it's hard to know who to concentrate on and who to ignore. We will attempt to shed some light on where the buyers are and how to bring them in to chat with you.
Our statistics show that only about 15% of the chatters actually buy shows. That means two things: 85% of chatters do not buy. It also means that the majority of your buyers don't ever talk in Free Chat! This is exactly why it's so important how you respond to the chatter, you need to impress the buyers that are lurking in your room but staying quiet and not chatting. We can't stress enough how important it is for you to realize that most buyers don't chat in the Free Chat. Post a big sign on your monitor I AM CHATTING TO IMPRESS THE NON CHATTERS. This will remind you that most buyers do NOT that in the Free Chat. They simply window shop and they browse the rooms until they find a model worth going private with.
OK, let's address how to flush out members and buyers. There are a few things you can do:
Talk to someone that's not chatting and say something like this: Hey all you Non-Chatters, don't hide. Come talk to me. Don't be shy.
A customer is talking to you and being kind and gentlemanly. Ask him this: You're sweet Charlie Geltleman, have you ever bought a show from the site before?? The wording here is very important. You are not asking him to buy from you, you are merely asking if he's bought a show on the site before. Guys tend to answer this question honestly because it's not a direct request for them to buy. His answer is very telling. A no answer means he is probably not a member and you can work him from that angle. A yes answer means he is a member and he is a good prospect to work on.
BUZZWORDS. Are there words that just turn you off? We bet we could write 10 here that are an instant turn off for you. The C word for example, a lot of models hate it. Do you think there are words the potential buyers hate to see the models use? You bet there are! We'll list some of the words that turn off buyers along with alternative words or phrases to take their place (We’d love to see you all contribute to a list of alternatives to use in place of buzz words).
Turn off buzzword Alternative
1on1My Room
Show Cum see me alone
Private Let's go where no one can read our chat
Buy Take me away from this madness
No need to list them all. When you catch yourself about to type a buzzword rethink it and type something else. Be creative.
Along with buzz words goes pressure from you to make them buy. Imagine this scenario, a person goes into a strip club and before he can look around and get a feel for the club an anxious stripper comes up to him and grabs his hand and starts dragging him to the lap dance booth. What does he do? He reels back and says no! He wants to see the place, get comfortable and check out all the strippers first. Answering your chatters with instant demands for them to buy a show is the kiss of death to selling minutes. No one likes a pushy model; very few customers spend money on pushy models. Just because you have demanders and beggars in your chat doesn't mean you should answer with begging and demanding. If there ever was a case of two wrongs don't make a right, this is it! Be better than your chatters in your attitude; don't stoop to their levels or methods.
Within the performer application there are also automated messages you can send to your customers to save you time. This is a great way to seduce your customers into a private show!
USE AUDIO TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
The audio feature will enhance your private shows 100%. There is nothing more erotic to our customers than hearing our models moan their name as they manipulate themselves to an orgasm. With every single private show that you get you should ask the user what their real name is. The closer you get and the more you know about someone, the harder they will fall for you. That is how you gain loyal and exclusive customers. This makes the experience much more personal for the viewer. People will feel a lot closer to you being able to hear your voice.
If you are new and feel uncomfortable using audio, don’t worry. Just like anything, it gets better and easier the more you practice and gain experience as a performer. This is your show; you are the star. They are paying for your individual attention; make it work their money. If you run out of things to say, moan and groan. People love to hear someone demanding them to fuck them harder over and over again. Name repetition is also good. It is a fact that the more you say someone’s name, the more they will be psychologically attached to you.

1. A lot of customers like to play it off like they work for the company, or are talent scouts or whatever. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. Our employees will never ask you to get naked for any reason. The only person you need to listen to in the Chat system is the MONITOR and they will show up in the color RED. If you see a customer that says MONITOR in any other color than red, do not listen to them.
2. You can never have anyone other than yourself on camera at any time. Very important. If you want to have someone work with you, contact us and we will get them set up as a model and create a couple profile for you to work with them.
