The Next Big Star - ValMidWest.com

[Midwest Shane]

We would like to introduce you to the new star of the single girl world! This is Valerie (yes her real name) and I think you're all going to like her very much. She is young (just turned 19), she is sexy, she is energetic, she is hardworking but most of all she is here to stay. She is not another content girl or part time web model that gets paid per shoot.

We have started her site as CCBILL only so this way there will not be any worries about people not getting paid as per our affiliates request. We also plan to move all of our other sites over to CCBILL in the next few months. We have also created a special members area within ValMidwest with all the members content from our other sites till they are fully switched over. This way rebills should be ever better!

Lastly we have decided to use ALL custom content for promoting. After several months of testing such material it was plain to see that this is the wave of the future. Yes that's right whatever you need we will shoot just for your site. We want to give you what works best for your specific audience instead of just offering the same overplayed FHG's every site has up. Please email us at [email protected] so we can get you want you need right away.

Enjoy the sample pictures and video of Val Midwest below!

Yea we were a little worried too but most all our big affiliates have already came back. They only requested CCBILL to eliminate any issues going further but thank you.

very cute and seems like a team player

Dear Affiliate,

The time has come where we have shuttered our doors. I want to thank you for the continued support over the years. We've maintained for as long as we could. The site is at a level where it no longer makes sense to sustain the operations of the affiliate program. No business lasts forever, and our time has finally come. I don't really think this should be a shock, given the nature of the market and the acceptance for a solo girl site in today's marketplace, particularly one as old as mine. There will be no more payments. I apologize sincerely for the lack of notice, delivering bad news like this is never going to be a happy occasion - or an easy decision. Our recommendation is you immediately pull your links, where appropriate. The end has come.

Once again, thank you for everything. May your future business endeavors be successful, and I am hopeful you understand. We are now out of business.

Valerie's site is CCBILL only she is not a part of NATS! All you need to do is go to ValMidwest.com and sign up to be an affiliate and promote. Thanks

[Fat Panda]

Congrats on the launch and good luck!

http://www.valmidwest.com/webmasters.php <<< looks like there's no standard ccbill signup here.
So you want to check "our site", but what If I have 50+ sites in my network?
You'd think after your earlier situation, that you'd just simply let people sign up...w/o the "email and approve me" hassle.

[Google Expert]

what happened to her face?

[Mark67]

I cannot see where you sign up?

http://www.valmidwest.com/webmasters.php

Webmasters and Affiliates
Hey webmasters! As you may know, the NATS version of Melissa Money has closed and is not accepting new affiliates, but we've listened to everyone and launched Val MidWest as a CCBill only program and included the entire Melissa MidWest network in Val's member area! We may have lost some credibility with affiliates, but we've never lost credibility with our members and fans and the Melissa name is as strong as ever!

While we all have to agree that Melissa's overall success was amazing, the adult world has changed and the old way of promoting sites doesn't really work anymore. That's why we're offering with Val 100% custom material to every legitimate affiliate that signs up with our Val MidWest program!

We think that by creating entirely custom videos and pictures for your site(s) that are tailored to your audience will bring in the most revenue, not to mention actually contribute to your site(s) more than some generic banner or video clip that's spread around the web. Custom material establishes more trust, which bring more solid rebills for your account for years to come!

As they say, "content is king" on the web and we've made it really easy to request custom content from us! Just send us an email at [email protected] with a run down of what you need and we will get it to you!

If you are interested in joining the Val MidWest affiliate program - and you can provide at least 5,000 unique visitors per month - send us an email and we will look at your site and set everything up. Thanks for your interest!

Agreed. It's definitely not there for anyone to join via CCBILL
in the normal manner which we're used to it, anyway!

[2013]

[Spunky]

Congrats on the launch,good luck with it

Since we're offering only custom content for each affiliate, we need direct communication with them right off the bat. And honestly I would think managing 50 sites would be more of a hassle than sending one email but thank you! ;)

[My Fucking Traffic]

Such a flop.

[Midwest Shane]

Thanks for the kind works everyone! So far we've had 8 new affiliates sign up to promote Val and the reason we're keeping it locked down like this is because we will shoot completely custom videos for every affiliate! So not only are you promoting Val but Val is promoting your sites as well because she's talking directly to your audience. This is something new that we didn't do in the past and we expect it to do very well! If you're interested in promoting Val Midwest just email us and we will get you what you need. Thanks everyone

Nope Val did traditional modeling previously but this is her first and only job in adult! She's here every day working to make her site better than yesterday and her work ethic is impressive. She's here to stay and has a stake in her site so as I said before she's not a part time model and with the decision to move to CCBILL only her site is going to rebill for a long time.

It's NOT "a hassle"...and I don't "need" custom content...just an affiliate code link & a few different banners...
But if you don't WANT the traffic, from those who don't need custom content...that's your loss, I suppose.

This... Congrats on leaving money on the table by attempting to accommodate all your affiliates instead of doing what works...

Melissa, are you one of the girls that used to give special incentives to big traffic webmasters at shows? Have you had a mouthful of Boneprone?

[AZNNC]

Plz paxum or paypal my $44.80 and I'll promote her :D

Thanks!

[Herb Kornfield]

That sure could be a lot of custom content you would have to provide if this works out.

So the surfer comes into Val's site (CCBill) and then heads into the network of Melissa's sites (NATS) and signs up to a Melissa site, that sale is now sitting in NATS correct?

Which ... if that is the case, then Val can been seen as a feeder site to Melissa by some to skip CCBill and sales are now via NATS.

[lazycash]

Feels like an AlphaSky launch.

If you are nervous about signing up and promoting Val Midwest just wait a few months until the entire Melissa network is CCBILL only. We've already added about 80% of our network to Val's site which will help with rebills for now but we understand if you're wishing to wait until CCBILL handles the checks before working with us again and we will be here a while so no worries if that's what you decide!

VH1's "Behind the Traffic".

[AllAboutCams]

did you pay everyone back?

[fitzmulti]

A "few MONTHS", that should take "a few HOURS"...and with the "however long it's been" could have already been done.

I'm not trying to poke a stick at you, but seriously...limiting "who" can join your CCBILL affiliate program to ONLY those that want custom content? Sure, sign me up then, make the "custom content" and I can still just use banners...and you've wasted that much time making "custom content" that falls by the wayside...and that wasted time could go to switching the other 3 sites out of NATS into CCBILL.

As successful as Melissa's site was...and hopefully your new one will be for you...you sure haven't though this through very well, especially with all the time you have had. ;-)

This is what your program says:

Dear Affiliate,

Thanks for your opinion but the stats and traffic and attention we're seeing tells a different story and we expect the signups to continue and retention to become as consistently strong as the positive emails we've been getting from her members.

CCBill only solo model sites with so-so models. That train left the station about 4 years ago.

Add to it a webmaster with a history of nonpayment...

I don't really see a winning combo anywhere here.

[MattO]

how do I find out my $$ not paid for the old site? eh?

Yea that's why we are going back to it, single girl sites focus on building a relationship with the members something that is lacking in adult right now. It's a tough market sure but since there is little to no competition anymore it should be a great thing. Not to mention our test numbers were even better than we had hoped!

We also don't really have a history of nonpayment for 7 years we paid everyone and on time. We had a 2 month spurt when the Melissa program was closing with some issues but since then we have paid all of those people back.

Again if people don't want to promote we understand completely but what do you have to lose now it's CCBILL you will always get your checks. Thanks

[Midwest Shane]

We posted about a few people that were missed when we did the final payouts. If you think we missed you send me an email to my personal email account and we will check on it shane at shaneharrington.com

[Midwest Shane]

Yes we did, I have copies of all the checks, here is hoping some of those people will post that that got there money now!

[cybermike]

Still a big mistake not to offer traditional picture galleries or atleast zip them pictures up

[GAMEFINEST]

she looks good

[The Porn Nerd]

I think pre-approving affiliates is a good thing but requiring 5k hits to be sent is not wise. MANY affiliates can send only a few hundred hits BUT those hits can be highly-targeted so much more valuable than, say, a massive tube or TGP that may send 5k+ hits but the quality of the traffic is not as good. Just an example...

The other potential "issue" here is this girl is 19 and she's going to do "custom shoots" for affiliates. Now, on the surface, that sounds fantastic - but what kind of content? Solo masturbation? Boy-girl hardcore? Blowjobs? Anal? Creampies? Interracial? Threesomes? Gangbangs?

Or just teasing, solo play, cam-type stuff? This girl is 19 - how commited is she? Will she be around in six months? if not, what about all those 'custom shoots'? What happens to the program then? What happens to the content then? On and on.

I DO wish you the BEST of luck here as i have had my experiences with solo girls. LOL Please don't let my questions damper anyone's spirit! My hope is you all make serious money and everyone is still doing this years from now.

Shhhh, don't tell them quality targeted traffic is more valuable than high volume pushed traffic....
