ManyVidsco-founder and CEO, Bella French recently returned to her cam girl roots by performing live on a few occasions on MV Live, the camming platform on many vids.CamLifesat down with Bella to discussMV Live to find out what a day in the life for the CEO of one of the fastest growing adult communities is like. 

 CL: Manyvids is known as the #1 clip site in the world. Becoming the leader of one of the fastest gowning verticals in adult entertainment must take a lot of your focus. Why venture out into the live camming world at this juncture, how did that idea come about? 

Bella: It’s always been our mission to support the MV Stars in becoming as successful as possible and the MV Team is constantly coming up with innovate ways for them to connect and engage with their fans. About a year ago, we introduced a feature called MV Takeover, where one MV Star at a time had a3-hour window to perform love show. The response was so incredible that we quickly realized we needed to provide multiple MV Stars the opportunity to stream live at the same time, and so MV Live was born. We launched the beta back a few months ago and it’s been loved by both the MV stars and their fans alike. 

CL: You recently took the plunge yourself and camed on MV Live. What was that experience like? 

Bella – It was amazing, and a lot of fun just like I remembered it! As you know, I started out as a sex worker myself and createdManyVidsalong with my co-founders to provide a positive, strong, and proud community platform where content creators can thrive and be independently successful without shame or stigma. I am proud to be a member of this incredible community and that experience brought me even closer to my sex worker family. How many other CEOs can say that they know firsthand what their customers really need because they are one of them? I am truly blessed.

 Aside from the camming aspect, what other elements were introduced as part of the feature? 

Bella – MV Live includes a host of features tailored to help MV Stars truly connect with their fans and engage with them on a whole new level. We set out to create a truly innovative platform for MV Stars to increase their revenue potential, along with an elevated customer experience for their fans. It offers private shows for one on one action, a store panel to showcase their best vids, and store items to give their fans the great products they crave. MV Stars can also express themselves completely with a wide assortment of many motes, many stickers, and manygifs, adding fun and creative elements to their MVLive messaging. We’ve also added a Vote button to encourage fans to support and help promote their favorite MVStar.If they’re also participating in one ofManyVidscool contests, fans can also show their love by hitting the Vote button on their favorite MV star while watching the show.

CL: You mentioned increasing their earnings potential. Can you tell us a bit more about how cam models can increase their revenue on MV Live? 

Bella- Where do I start! The MVTeam are firm believers in rewarding our business partners for their hard work and so every month, we give out $10,000 in cash prizes to the MV Live Top Earners. We are also very proud of our 60% payout (6 cents per token) to all MVStars whocamonManyVids. And what better way to keep track of all the revenue generated during their live show than with the Event Tracker, an easy to use tool that shows all the tips, vids, and items sold so they can see their profits in real-time
