Alex Bluck, CEO of SkyPrivate, the pioneer of Skype pay-per-minute technology, stated in 2013 that “every human being deserves equal rights and that everyone must be paid for their time and knowledge.” We fight for equal earning opportunities by developing user-friendly payment tools on top of communication channels that people all over the world already use.” SkyPrivate is a stand-alone platform where models and members can communicate via Skype and Discord. The technology can also be licensed to other businesses as an API or as a blacklabel (SaaS).

SkyPrivate operates several brands in addition to Skype: OurLittleSecret — WhatsApp sexting (pay-per-message); membershyp.club — subscription-based access to Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Kik; and Unblur. media — an ecommerce platform where models can sell videos, photos, shows, and more. “We are excited to offer cryptocurrency payment options to our subscribers,” says Dominic Ford, creator of JustFor.Fans. We don’t have to worry about being shut down because we are an adult company when we use SpankChain. We’d rather support our fellow adult solution providers than use potentially ineffective outside solutions.”

JustFor.Fans is the most rapidly expanding fan platform. JFF, which was created by an adult industry leader, provides adult models with more ways to earn money than any other platform.
