CYBERSPACE—Hosted CMS platform ModelCentro, which celebrates its first birthday tomorrow, Dec. 11, has been very well-received since its inception a year ago, with over 2,000 models joining. Vanilla DeVille, Gina Devine, Lexi Lowe, Little Red Bunny, Angel Long and Vanessa Blue are just a few of the industry stars who have built their sites on the ModelCentro system, which provides essential tools for site creation and management, including hosting, billing, design, domains, and live cams, while the model's domain, site and content remain his/her property. It's free to start up and the model keeps the majority of the revenue.
"There is nothing more empowering than being self-employed and in control of your own business," said Stan D'Aman, ModelCentro's founder. " This is one of the many reasons ModelCentro was created - as models were consistently being haggled out of business or simply didn't have the resources and revenue required when developing a website from scratch, we wanted to provide them the opportunity take control of their future!"
Over the course of ModelCentro's first 12 months, several critical features and successful business relationships were implemented to make it easier for models to create and run their own websites, including but nowhere near limited to:
* Tip me pages added to model sites
* ModelCentro blog functionality added to model sites
* Affiliate programs for model sites introduced
* SkyPrivate integration
* Call Me pages added to model sites
* Calendar functionality added to model sites
* Streamate integration
* Studio Accounts released
* Fans Lists and Transactions functionality added
* New and Improved Dashboard unveiled
* Private live shows and tips during shows enabled
To celebrate its first birthday, ModelCentro is running a Twitter contest. To enter, models need to tweet #HappyBirthdayModelCentro with a picture of themselves holding a "Happy Birthday ModelCentro!" fan sign. The three most creative pictures will receive prizes.
