Heather Hamptons- Her Side of the Story

lol

Here's what I know.

Ivy is not the one who ripped webmasters off and still owes them for pre paid shoots while she is spending the money on a titty job.

I'll take Ivy's side on this one all day long.

yeah....

when i read heather was recovering from a boob job for 7 weeks I had my doubts.... rofl

my wife was up and back working in 10 days

so Heather did get the "new hamptons".....

"new hamptons"

thats what i wanna know....

this thread is useless without pics

ya, "giant big hamptons"....
wow, her site was grossing 300.00 a month

Why is it that partnerships in this business are generally a bad idea?

In most businesses they work well with both parties striving to make 2 people equal the work of 3, but in this industry it seems too often a recipe for disaster.

you're right, but in many situations a model or photographer needs a partner to run the nuts n bolts stuff and most importantly supply the traffic - there should be some good marriages here, one party brings exclusive content/model, the other brings in the traffic - but much more often than not i hear disappointment.

it can work though - if both sides live up to their promises.

Am I reading that right? Her site was only generating 300 dollars a month, of which she got a mere 23 dollars a month?! LMAO!

And even the full sum of 3-400 is nothing, thats less than a fucking welfare check for chrissake!

Why do illnesses very often come up in statements?

I'd have to agree with Aaron on this one... Considering it's Heather who isn't around anymore and Heather who was begging for new titties and got all that money for content and never gave it, I would have to go with Ivy on this one.. How can anyone possibly trust this girl's (Heather's) word when she's already proved herself a shallow liar?

And she was pulling down an amazing $23 dollars. I wonder what that would be after taxes - one McDonalds value meal, or two(assuming she doesn't supersize em', maybe even 3!!11 omgz!!)

Thanks Shemp I needed a smile tonight

Partnerships with talent in this biz isn't worth it

how often does ccbill send checks? isn't it once a week? if so that would mean she was getting a $300 a week check, not $300 a month

Ok, please correct me if I am wrong, but, isn't her 50% AFTER expenses....Hosting, affiliate payouts, and so on can drastically reduce a paysite's bottom line.

hell yeah....

and a site that has shitloads of traffic but only a $300 check means her site wasn't converting, and a site that doesn't convert can DRAIN your wallet, that is for sure

No kidding.. so much more to having a great site then taking off your clothes.

She is a thieving bastard just like Juicy...




















He Stole my heart...

That's what I'm talkin about. Why even admit to that amount?

She contacted me for work once, but wanted me to pay to get into her site to get casting photos of her so I could get her work. Then she wanted me to pay her expenses to come out to LA - SO SHE COULD FREELANCE WHILE I SUPPORTED HER & HER EXCLUSIVE PARTNER HUSBAND WITH THE AMAZING 3 INCH PENIS!!!

I laughed for months over that proposal.

She's such a loser it makes my head hurt.
I can't believe people like her exist.


Ivy... let's make babies.

Nah, straight from the article:
So basically she was being paid less per month, then what I just randomly find in my pockets on a weekly basis. Sorry, but after all the drama over her - all for 23 bucks a month - just kills me

I would have to go with Ivy too but on the other hand Ivy should of included a statement with the check so there was no bullshit. If most of the sign ups come from Affiliates and its such a low number , I can see making nothing. I agree partnerships with models are very tough, I had two they were nightmares.

ROTF... is that for fucking real? that's gotta be a typo! surely they meant $300 A DAY, not a month...

that made my day

holy fuck. that's pathetic. i'm so glad i didn't buy content from that cunt.

You would be shocked how many sites there are out there that only make $500 or less a month. I think with the stricter regs on the way , those people are going to start to disapear.

most of those are single girl sites that make shit money....i know a few girls right off the top of my head that make shit money, but they do it simply for the fans that love them

hell, our site does all right, but nothing spectacular, it is the other shit I do that makes the nice cheese

good, they're a fucking disgrace to the biz

LOL

I just now got linked to this thread LMAO

I knew it was coming...some people live in a constant state of drama and drag things out even when they know they are in the wrong, making up lies to bring attention and pity on themselves.

I'll be sure to post some screen caps in just a few minutes to show you all how rich I got from Heathers website. LMAO

And yes, as someone mentioned ....50/50 meant after ccbill fees, affiliate payouts, etc. But it takes a bit of brains to comprehend that I guess.

I'll also post a "Growth" report Screencap from ccbill, to dispute that it was only since the boob job that she stopped updating . That's a joke. I have emails dating back to MARCH , weekly where I continually had to beg for content to update the site with. The site was updated and did well from Jan-March , then updates stopped or were sporadic, and here we are in Sept. when I finally enforced my contract.

Posting screen caps in a few, for those inquiring minds LOL

Ivy

EXACTLY..... and in this case, all the model was required to do was provide content of herself on a weekly basis, which was not done. It's that simple.

Websites don't run themselves, and single model sites don't work well at all if the model stops adding content of herself.

I should have enforced my contract long ago, but I played into the excuses from I don't know what to shoot, to my camera is broken, to I have no driver license, 2 kids and my man doesn't get home until late, to the most recent which was how she had gained so much weight all she could shoot were closeups. So I said...ok...shoot closeups then! But ahhh...there is no photographer near her and she can't drive and has no babysitter and..............WELL YOU GET THE POINT !

Ivy

Ivy, I'm curious whether that $300/mo figure is current - meaning it's gone downhill since she stopped providing updates - or that is a typical average? If so then you would have been making stuff all from the site as well, why did you stick with it for so long?

LMAO Heather's updates became sporadic in March and basically stopped after that. Her boob job was in July.

Here's some of the early emails about that issue. I cannot believe she is saying she only stopped updating because of her boob job.

Hey Girl,
Im soooooooooooooo sorry. I had to leave her ein a rush yesterday. I dropped everything and left for Charlottesville. There was a situation in the family and we JUST walked in!

It didnt even occur to me that it was update day, until we were already there. I didnt have a computer so I couldnt email you and your number was here on my desk.

Ill go ahead and make 2 videos for next weeks update. That should help things along.

As of right now the only images I have left to add are the ones I was trying to send last week. Im not sure what happened or why they didnt send but Iwill try again to send them.

Until I get a better camera, I am gonna have to use the 3.2 MP camera I have here. Its not great quality but its content right?

Again I am soooo sorry. I made sure to program your number in my phone so I can call you if anything should ever happen like this again.

Ivy

It was never my intention NOT to. You just kept coming down on me and you arent very understanding. I JUST moved here and I have a lot to do. I am home all day with 2 kids. They arent in school right ow and wont be until the end of August and even then it will only be one of them. Prices out here for day care are CRAZY! They want $127 a week per child. That's over $1000 a month just for childcare. I cant afford that. SO I have them here all day. I no longer have a license so I cant drive. Plus my care is still in CHesapeake. Why take it if I cant use it? I've been dealing with several on going court cases which causes me to travel back and forth from here to Va. Beach (which is 3 hours each way) and I have had to do that 3 times already since I have been here and it's only been 3 weeks. Im in a slump right now. It's not easy when you first buy a house. Especially with all the personal issues I am having. So please understand that.
That is the reason I havent gotten ANY shoots done. So with that said, hopefully you cvan understand why it hasnt been easy for me and how difficult it would be do get anything done. I cant exactly take them with me to a shoot, even if I could drive to get there.
On top of that, I havent seen one signup in serveral weeks. I have fallen off of google, which make sit harder for people to get to me.

I feel very bad for all of you Especially those she owes and Ivy.

That's full of sad excuses. She needs help.

300 dollars per month? Surely that's a joke? If that's true, why do these people even bother?

I think that the site likely never even made that. I'm posting a screen cap below. I stuck with it because of Heathers continued apologies and excuses and I kept hoping she would start updating it again. When she was updating regularly-Debut-March, the site was beginning to grow.

So No, it never made money because she stopped being active on it and updating. Which is why it isn't worth the drama Heather is trying to create over it.

It was time to give my attention and time to the models in my network that do update their sites on a weekly basis and are active on their sites. That's the only way a single model site-an official site- makes bank

Ivy

I'm floored. No affiliates were actively promoting that site? Even a laid back submitter who only submitted a gallery or two of hers per month could probably generate a few sales. Then again, for that you need content.

$1901.42 net / 9.5 months = $200.14/mo before other expenses and your split.

Only 6% of the gross amount is from affiliate sales. Wow.

I'm surprised you - and her also - stuck with it this long.

This get's better and better huh?

Heather made lots of enemies in the webmaster world. But the site will remain on my server until January and I do have Hardcore FHG's and zipped content available if you'd like to promote an undersaturated site



Ivy

Yes, it most certainly did not make the money to justify it's portion of my server bill, ccbill fees and registration fees, money I spent for gallery templates, etc. etc. and of course the time I did spend promoting it and doing updates.

But...she has some of those rebilling members that forgot they are being rebilled ...hehe....so I just leave it up for the rebills. If I don't spend time on it anymore, it's not costing me much and any amount of $ in combination with all my sites is ok with me

Ivy

She sure did make a few enemies here that's for sure.

Here's a screen cap of another fairly new models site in my network, just to show that weekly updates do make a huge difference ( and that all my sites don't suck as bad as the screen caps of heathers LOL )

I removed the account name as the model wouldn't appreciate sharing .

And this also shows that webmasters aren't making their share, although I've promoted to you guys like crazy *hint, hint*

hehe

Ivy

The question that comes to mind is Ivy why did you go into business with this girl ?
