What do you guys think about this? A lot of cam girls use services like clips4sale & manyvids as upsales for their cam customers.

Which platform do you think can girls make more money off of the cam site or the clips site?

"A decade ago, Bella French was $200,000 in debt. Now, as CEO of ManyVids, she’s taking on the exploitative tube sites and giving fair residuals to adult performers."

The Former Cam Girl Shaking Up the Porn World

Ten years ago, Bella French found herself in dire straits.

The 27-year-old French-Canadian had just earned a degree from the prestigious business school HEC Montréal, where she studied marketing and logistics, and decided it was time to take a big swing. She maxed out her credit cards, took out small business loans, and borrowed against her father’s line of credit. In all French raised $250,000, which she used to open a clothing store featuring her own streetwear line. Then disaster struck.

“Basically, eight months after the opening I walked into the store and the whole place was flooded,” she recalls.

A hot water tank in the apartment above it had burst, leaving the store submerged. If that weren’t enough, since French had only insured it for up to $50,000, she found herself $200,000 in debt.

She frantically looked for fashion work in her native Montreal but came up empty. Then her best friend, Hamed Seoleghi, suggested something a bit out of left field: “He says, ‘Have you ever heard of webcamming?’” remembers French. “My friend makes about $5,000 every month.”

French, who had never dabbled in sex work—and didn’t even watch porn—was aghast at the idea. “I couldn’t believe that my friend would recommend that I become a camgirl,” she says. “I told him, ‘You’re crazy! I would never do that. I’m so much better than all those girls. Those are girls that can’t do anything else’—basically, the way people tend to judge sex workers.”

Two weeks later, with her financial situation stretched to the breaking point, she created a profile on a cam site. To her surprise, she loved it. “I realized that I was so wrong to think all the things I thought about camgirls before I became one, because it was not at all the reality of what it is to become a camgirl or a sex worker.”

Good news if she is really going to help creators. ManyVids is sort of well thought of.
