What's so Special about Fan Clubs?
There are so many wonderful things about Fan Clubs, it's impossible to squeeze them all into this little space here.
So we dedicated an entire area of Chat Rooms to the question, "Why FanClubs?"
Click
here for the many, many answers.
|
How do I activate my FanClub?
Your Chat Rooms FanClub is just like any other page on the Chat Rooms platform -- it is created automatically when
you register your Chat Rooms Chathost account, and becomes accessible to Chat Rooms visitors when your documentation materials for your
Chathost account are approved by Chat Rooms's Compliance Department.
|
How do I manage/edit my FanClub?
You can edit your FanClub from the Chat Rooms Chathost Console,
or go directly to the page, and provide your Chathost Star login and password.
|
What's the direct link URL for my FanClub?
Your FanClub is located at:
http://fanclubs.Chat Rooms.com/membrg/ShowClub_v2_custom.dll?t=site/fanclubs/starpages/showclub/Main&pclub=YourChatHostID |
Where do I sign up?
To get started, click here and begin with
Steps 1 and 2 at the top of that page. Your Chat Rooms FanClub is just like any other page on the iFriendsV2 platform -- it is created automatically when you
register your Chat Rooms Chathost account, and becomes accessible to Chat Rooms visitors when your documentation materials for your Chathost account
are approved by Chat Rooms's Compliance Department.
|
How can I view my FanClub as a Guest surfer sees it?
The easiest method is to "make like a surfer". Close your browser, restart your browser, and go directly to your
FanClub home page:
http://www.ifriendsv2.net/membrg/ShowClub_v2_custom.dll?t=site/fanclubs/starpages/showclub/Main&pclub=YourChathostID
|
Who can Join my FanClub?
Any adult can join your FanClub. Your FanClub is a one-click join for any of the millions and millions of documented
adults on the Chat Rooms platform. Because FanClubs is a part of the Chat Rooms platform, and Chat Rooms shields minors from
sensitive content using the Chat Rooms credit-card wall, Chat Rooms membership is a prerequisite for one-click join access; however,
individuals can also join your FanClub directly, even if they're not already members of Chat Rooms. But to do so, they have to fill out the full credit-card join
form provided through your Fanclub. (click here for sample screenshot).
|
How am I paid when someone joins my FanClub?
You earn credit for a FanClub join, as well as a FanClub renewal, the moment Chat Rooms collects the funds from the FanClub member.
Your FanClub earnings are automatically added to your weekly Chat Rooms payout package. Because FanClubs are integrated directly into the Chat Rooms
platform (your FanClub home page replaces your Profile Page, for example), proceeds are divided evenly and are otherwise treated in the same fashion as your videochat payroom revenues,
with one exception: Your FanClub earnings are not subject to the 5% six-month reserve applied to live payroom minutes; you receive your full payout without delay, no reserve
adjustments are applied. For more information on FanClubs
billing and payments, please click here for an expanded FAQ section.
|
Do I collect 100% of all revenues if I bring the customer to Chat Rooms myself?
Of course! Chat Rooms is built on a simple premise: When Chat Rooms delivers the customer, and you deliver the content,
proceeds are split 50-50. But when you deliver the customer, you keep every penny that customer directly spends with you.
(Click here for Special Exclusivity Incentives )
To ensure that you earn credit for such customers, Chat Rooms provides an easy-to-use "full-credit" join link.
For example, your full-credit join link is:
http://www.ifriendsv2.net/ifpage.dll?t=site/secure/viewpref&pFullCredit=on&pClub=YourChathostID
Provide this simple link to any prospective customer that you introduce to Chat Rooms, and you'll collect 100% of everything that customer spends with you:
Your FanClub membership revenues, your live videochat revenues, shopping cart revenues,
even FanClub GetCloserTM revenues.
For more information on FanClubs billing and payments, please click here for an expanded FAQ section. For more information about the many ways you can earn revenues on Chat Rooms (including both 100% and 50% payout types),
please click here for an expanded FAQ section.
|
What about when someone cancels his FanClub membership with me?
As a part of the Chat Rooms platform (see above), you are paid when Chat Rooms is paid, and if Chat Rooms experiences a refund or chargeback,
you also share in that return. So, if a member cancels his FanClub membership with you in a way that does not result in a refund or chargeback, you are fully
paid for that member. However, if the member cancels his FanClub membership in a way that results in Chat Rooms not collecting any membership amount, or
refunding the membership amount, then there are no proceeds from the membership.
|
Where can I go to find out how much I have earned from my FanClub?
All applicable revenue, including previous payment history, and the amount of your next payment, is reported in your FanClub editing facility
under "My FanClub Revenue Report."
|
What parts of my FanClub are updated automatically?
All the parts that your Fans like the most! "Eye Candy" (pics, vids, replays, fan faves, Elite Live Moments) and "Secrets & Fantasies" are both
populated automatically as you host live Chat Rooms videochat sessions, update your regular Chat Rooms archive content, and as your fans, Chat Rooms members,
even other Chathost Stars rate your archives. Also, some Stars have active discussion boards whre FanClub members exchange news and information about their favorite Star ... all without
the Star's participation! (Of course, we encourage Stars to moderate their own discussion boards). Bottom line: Some of the most popular areas of your FanClub freshens themselves
and are self-updating ... even while you sleep or take a vacation!
|
Can I remove content placed automatically in my Club?
Absolutely. Remember that your FanClub contains only two kinds of content: 1.) Content you place there, and which you can remove at any time,
and 2.) Content that your fans place there, which you also can remove any time. You are always in complete control of your FanClub ... not your Fans, not Chat Rooms, but you.
To control your FanClub content, use your FanClub Manager tool.
|
How much can I expect to earn with my FanClub?
The potential is enormous. Some loyal, longtime Chat Rooms chathosts have as many as 10,000 members on their Chat Rooms "Fan Lists" (that's the list to which you can send messages from your Chat Rooms chathost console or the videochat-session sign-in page, and which grows over time as Chat Rooms visitors opt in to your live videochat, or send you if-grams, or select the "Notify me when live" feature on your Chat Rooms profile page. If you can convert even a small fraction of these fans into FanClub members, do that math ... That's dozens, hundreds, perhaps even thousands of
FanClub members generating monthly renewal income to you, like clockwork, at FanClub monthly prices ranging between $14.99 and $29.99 per month.

What advantages does FanClubs offer over the free MyiFriends Hosting Platform?
The free www.MyiFriends.net hosting platform -- available only to Chat Rooms chathosts -- is an excellent "do-it-yourself" resource for
Stars who have strong HTML, javascript and webmastering skills. However, because the number of fully-developed chathost websites on the free hosting platform is very small, relative to
the total number of active Chat Rooms chathosts, the MyiFriends hosting platform is not highly visible across the Chat Rooms service.
As a result, chathosts who use the free hosting platform have to fight for traffic and exposure, just like any webmaster on the internet. (It's easy to build a website ... but hard to attract shoppers
and buyers to a website).
FanClubs is different in all these respects. FanClubs offers several advantages over the free MyiFriends.net hosting platform, including:
- Simplicity: FanClubs requires no technical skills whatsoever ... in fact, your FanClub is created and ready for business the
moment your Chat Rooms chathost account is approved, without you having to make so much as a single additional mouseclick.
And to edit your FanClub, you need no internet skills beyond the simple ability to complete a web form. If you are reading this text right now,
you have all the necessary skills and abilities to manage your FanClub and maximize its potential.
- Exposure & Traffic: Your FanClubs is exposed widely throughout the Chat Rooms platform. In fact, your FanClub
home page doubles as your Chat Rooms Profile page! When your Chat Rooms visitors check out your archives, your FanClub is there.
When your Chat Rooms visitor exits your videochat, your FanClub is there.
- Generate interest in your Live Videochat:
When surfers visit your MyiFriends website at the same time that you happen to be in live videochat, it can be
challenging to alert the surfer to your live webcam, and invite him in for a look. But if someone is persuing your FanClub at the
same time that you're live, they receive a gentle pop-up advisory every five minutes, politely urging them stop by and pay you a live visit!
Plus ... every single page in your FanClub automatically contains numerous "Status Indicator" graphics so attentive surfers will see you the
moment you log in with your live webcam. None of these features are available on the free live hosting platform.
- Upload your own graphics and videoclips: Both FanClubs and the free hosting platform permit you
to upload your own homemade graphics and videoclips for display on your website. But only FanClubs automatically integrates
that uploaded content into the "guest overlay" environment that ensures that prospective members can get a feel for what you have to
offer, while not seeing too much for free.
But guess what? If you have HTML and web-design skills, you can create and maintain your own
MyiFriends.net website, and make it a part of your FanClub! That increases the appeal and attractiveness of your FanClub, and helps retain fans longer.
|
Is my privacy protected on the FanClubs platform?
Of course. FanClubs continues Chat Rooms' legendary prowess for safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that people
you don't want to see your unfiltered, uncensored materials, can't see your unfiltered and uncensored materials. For example, if you've configured your chathost
"block zones" feature to prevent individuals from Las Vegas (where you live now) or from the Chicago suburban zip code 60195 (where you grew up and where your family still resides)
from seeing your unfiltered archives or accessing your live uncensored videochat, those same individuals will not be able to join your FanClub and will not be
able to see your uncensored and unfiltered content in your FanClub.
|
What are the benefits of the 'My Hot Friends' circle?
Through the "My Hot Friends" circle capability, you can trade traffic with your friends, acquaintances, business partners and other Stars.
Consider: When a visitor checks you out, and decides to continue his search elsewhere, wouldn't it be great to refer him to other Stars in your "My Hot Friends" circle,
rather than just watch him run off to the general Chat Rooms universe of 150,000+ video chathosts? It's all about one word: control.
|
How can I tell who has added me to their Friends List?
Easy! Click the "See Friends List" option in your FanClub, as a viewer would.
The list of stars that appear in the right column are those stars who have added you to their Friends List.
(For illustrations, click here and here.)
|
What is the free Chat Rooms FanClub hotline?
The free Chat Rooms FanClub Hotline is where your FanClub members can have private, personal contact with you, via your own toll-free number and extension.
Information about how to use the free FanClub hotline is provided in your FanClub editing facility.
|
How do I update my Pin number for the FanClub Hotline?
You'll find your pin number under the "Features I should Update Only Once in a While" link that appears in your FanClub edit facility. (look towards the bottom of the page)
|
What is this new "GetCloser" feature I've been hearing about?
An optional part of the FanClub platform, GetCloser is a great new way to "get closer" to your fans and videochat regulars, through regular toll-free telephone calls that take place
through the FanClub hotline. GetCloser is not only toll-free (for both parties to the call), but it's also privacy-protected. Your fans never know your phone number, and you
never know theirs. At your option, you can even generate additional pay-per-minute revenue from these calls, even when you're not onlne. If you've ever wondered if you can
earn income from your fans while driving your car or shopping at the mall, GetCloser may be for you. If you've ever felt that you were spending too much time talking
on the telephone with your Chat Rooms fans, but had too little to show for it, GetCloser may be for you.

How are archive materials organized in my FanClub?
There are four levels of access in every FanClub:
-
Guests -- All archives and thumbnails are censored.
-
Chat Rooms Members -- Archives available on the Chat Rooms website are also available
to any Chat Rooms members who check out your Fan Club, while all other FanClub archive materials are censored.
-
FanClub Members -- All archives published on Chat Rooms, plus any unpublished archive
materials (for example, archive images once marked favorite, but which you subsequently removed from favorites), and;
-
FanClub "Star" Level -- The level accessible only to the Star herself, so that she can edit her FanClub and
remove any archive materials from her FanClub's reach, at all FanClub access levels. In other words, the Star has full "veto" authority over each archive in her FanClub,
regardless of whether it is labeled a 'Favorite' on Chat Rooms, or otherwise published on Chat Rooms.
|
Why are replays available on my FanClub?
Prior to the debut of FanClubs, replays represented the only way on Chat Rooms for fee-based chathosts to earn income on a 24/7 continuous basis.
While replays continue to serve as a "value alternative" to live sessions for Chat Rooms members who can't afford live videochat rates or a FanClub membership,
they also suffer from another important limitation: Like a television set with only one channel that you can tune in, a chathost can run only one replay at a given time.
With FanClubs, however, your paying FanClub members can be simultaneously downloading any material from your Replay Library. Also, our own research has
determined that the tiny amount of revenues generated from replay shows - a trivially small fraction of the revenues generated from live videochats -- is substantially
less than the revenue potential of FanClubs. (In other words, if you're thinking of removing all your Replay material from the members-only area of
your FanClub, don't -- that's being penny-wise and pound foolish.)
|
How can I listen to voice messages left for me by my members?
If a FanClub member leaves you a personal message on the Free FanClub HotLine System, it's easy to retrieve it, right from within your browser.
There's two ways to do so: First, while editing your FanClub, under "Features I should update Daily", look for the "Listen to your FanClub Hotline Voice Mails" option.
The second area is in your FanClub member list. ("Review My FanClub Activity --> My FanClub Member List"). In the "Comment" column, you'll find any message that has
been left for you by that member, and a hotlink to play it
(click here for illustration).
|
I'm trying to add other ChatHosts' archives to my Favorite Fantasies, but getting errors. What's wrong?
Some Stars have had trouble adding "My Favorite Fantasies", and it's usually because they've got more than one FanClub and accidentally had the wrong FanClub
logged in when they tried to add the Fantasies entries. Check out this screen shot; it'll show you just where to look to confirm that you've got the right screen name logged in.
|
Can I upload my own videos for my FanClub members?
You bet! If you have your own videoclips that you'd like to share with your FanClub members, and they present only people who are
already documented on Chat Rooms as being 18+, simply upload them directly to your FanClub! In your FanClub Edit Facility, simply click on "VideoClips" or "replays",
and you'll find a link to the videoclip-upload form. Here's a screenshot.
