ExtraLunchMoney Reviews and Information

Is generaly a bad review based on my awful experience, i mean, im on the industry for more than 5 years now and i never experienced such a lack of professionalism and respect about adult workers, honestly i dont know how this website stills on, i doubt they're doing all that legaly.
You don't want to work in a website where you're totally in the hands of the customers, if they decide to report you forget your money on the website and all the effort you put on it, they will ban you without any fair justification and you're banned for life there.

I applied and sent the documents and got no response. I sent a message asking for a return and they replied saying that they could not verify my account, without even explaining the reason. So I deleted the account. It's a shame, I actually had content to post.

ELM is the first content selling website that I ever used. I signed up in 2013 then left the site when they changed the payment methods (none worked for me), and signed back up in 2022 because I like keeping my eggs in as many baskets as possible. My review reflects the current state of affairs on this website, not my past experiences.

I use ELM to sell both premade and custom content. The site has some decent internal traffic but, unfortunately, most members expect fast and cheap work. My current prices are, in general, above what customers are willing to pay or what many models are charging. However, you can make money no matter what type of content you are creating. Everything sells here - vanilla, extreme femdom, unusual fetishes, you name it. There's a slice for everyone. ELM still allows some content that is frowned upon on more well-knows clip sites, like urine or period play, but they reserve the right to not feature these clips on the front page or to delete them.

The website is a marketplace and has many features, being quite complex; I recommend you try as many as you can.
You can post downloadable premade digital content (they are named "Products"), and can create different listings that describe what kind of custom content you are willing to sell (they are called "Jobs"). Jobs can include custom photos, audios and clips, used lingerie, sexting and camming packs, DVDs, artwork... whatever you can imagine. You can be as creative as you want, just keep it legal.

You also have access to the "Requests" page on which members are searching for custom content providers. They post on there what content would like to receive plus the number of credits they're willing to pay for each job. This is how I landed a bunch of custom work throughout the years. Keep in mind that you need to check the page regularly if you want to obtain the better paid gigs, and lots of these guys want you to message them first if you're interested in their request.

You can offer texting if you have a US phone number. You can set your own price but don't expect to earn much using this feature.

The site accepts models from all over the world. The payment is 60% when you start and increases to 65% after a couple of sales (you become a "Seller Plus"). They currently pay US models via ACH and checks once they have 105 credits in their accounts, and international models via Paxum once they have 40 credits in their accounts. I always received my payments on time, money never went missing from my account, I never had any dispute regarding payments with clients who ordered customs.
NOTE: Your payout method will be checked and approved manually by the admin only after you have the minimum payout in your account! If you hit the payout and the verification is still not done after a week, contact Support and ask directly, then insist if you receive copy-paste replies.

The only thing I find annoying on this website specifically is the file size limitations. You can't upload anything larger than 500 MB so it's a challenge for anyone who doesn't use a webcam for filming or creates long videos. However, you are allowed officially to send big files using WeTransfer or similar services. I found a workaround for this - I use HandBrake to compress my files without losing much quality. Both WeTransfer and HandBrake are free to use.

With a new account, your DMs will be flooded by "sugar daddies" willing to spend hundreds of dollars on you - but only on KIK and definitely not through ELM. Ignore them, they're scammers. Don't even bother answering, just block and delete the message. They'll calm down when your account gets older and get no reply from you.

Support was always helpful when I needed something. It's a small team so they may answer slower than normal. They DO answer though. You can e-mail ELM with any questions you have at [email protected]

I recommend ELM to any content creator who is just starting in the field. It can help you gain valuable experience regarding customs and fetishes, and to make new fans. If you are a seasoned adult worker, it may be a loss of time simply because your prices are way higher than the average there. No matter the case, remember that you can use ELM just like you do with any other clip store.

I love ELM you can post videos you already have or offer to make custom content. You can check out request being posted and make yourself available. You can post things you will do for the amount you will charge. There is text option that keeps the phone numbers private but I haven't had any of those. You can post a goal video and guys can contribute towards your goal and once it's reached you provide whatever the prize winning reward was promised. You can even sell tangible items like your bras and panties. Extra Lunch Money really gives you the freedom to make money with everything you have.

What a TERRIBLE site. My roommate signed up for ELM after I had already made an account and they disabled my account, stole $400 from me and then refused to respond to any of my many many messages inquiring why. After much research I discovered that you can only have one account with one IP address and bc my roommate signed up, it permanently kicked me off and stole my money. TERRIBLE customer service, thieves and just awful company in general.

So ExtraLunchMoney was my first venture into online sex work. One of my photographers recommended it to me. It's got this cool web 2.0 aesthetic that vaporwave me can't get enough of. The great things about it are that it's got great internal traffic, a request board you can pick what you want to do off of, and it's great for someone with boundaries like mine. I'm very sensitive and hate putting stuff inside myself, I'm more of a "ride a stuffed animal" kind of girl. ExtraLunchMoney showed me all kinds of work I could do online without having to put my fingers or a dildo inside me, which I personally loved. Weird fetish stuff is great! They also allow pee! Which I love doing weird pee stuff. Now, the downsides. Some of the customers are... cheap. They want something for 10 credits, and you only get 6 dollars. Some of these requests are just too much for 6 dollars. Then, some of the models are also selling things very cheap. That can make competition hard. There are ABSOLUTELY sites that pay much better! But if you're starting in camming and content creation and are looking for ideas of what people are looking for within your boundaries, ELM is great.

There is traffic at this site put they all want detailed customs for little credits. Support is rude and incompetent. Software is old and outdated. But the worst of all is I had around 100 credits left on the site and they never changed my payment method to Paxum so I could get paid. After multiple emails over 3 weeks, all I get is "admin will change this on tuesday, blah blah blah bs". I got tired of waiting and was tired of their rude support so I gifted to my credits to someone deserving. Hopefully they can get paid. I don't believe this site will last much longer. I wound't recommend working for this site if you value your time and money.

I started on ELM in 2016, it was the first site where I sell videos, I remember I made a payment in 2017, I forgot to upload videos, lately I was boring and I decide to check at ELM, I posted some videos then I had some video request. I made more than IWC and C4S , where the last months is very low for me.

I didn't like that I had to download another software app to break up my 20 min long videos into 500mb. I didn't like that I had to use a certain number of photos per album. I just didn't like anything about this site.
