I'd like to address something before it is asked. I know some people will ask us why we are getting into the single model market and what we think of how often models change programs they are with. Here is my reply to that.

We are in contact with a lot of industry models. We've shot more than 1800 girls for Twistys. We work very hard to have a very good relationship with our models. One thing we've noticed is how little most models know about our industry. It's unfortunate because as a result many of them end up making very bad business decisions. These models don't understand how the web side of things work. They don't know what they could or should be making and they usually end up getting fed a load of bullshit from companies that don't know their head from their ass. There are a lot of companies that contact models and promise them the world without any experience or clue as to how to run a successful website. We want to change that. We want to follow in the footsteps of companies like MediumPimpin. They are a perfect example of how to do business in the solo girl market. They treat their models fairly and with respect. They also have the knowledge of how to market websites and how to treat affiliates. This is a big thing most companies overlook. They think if they sign a hottie they can sit back and watch the money roll in. That's not how our business works. You have to market your product and you have to build a solid relationship with your affiliates and earn their trust. This is something we've done from day 1 and will continue to do.

Our Affiliates Are Our Top Priority
One thing I'd also like to mention is that our affiliates are our top priority. I've experienced companies suddenly changing link codes and not giving credit for the old link codes. That is something that will absolutely never happen with us. In October 2003 we upgraded TwistysCash and had to set up all new linking codes. As a result we had to build a script to re-direct all the old link codes to the new link codes. 4 years later every single one of those link codes is still working and every webmaster is still getting credit for traffic they are sending to the old links. That is how we will always do business. We take care of our affiliates and do everything in our power to make sure they feel their traffic is in good hands with us. With any new site we bring on board in ShapCash the links and traffic go thru ShapCash. We want our affiliates to know all their traffic is always 100% safe with us and we will always make sure they are receiving credit on their traffic. Part of our education process with the models we will be explaining to them how important affiliates are. A lot of girls we've talked to do not understand that. They don't understand why affiliates make 60% and they make 40%. We want to educate them and teach them how important affiliates are
