Building Bridges On Shifting Ground: Flirt4Free’s Carlos Diaz
In the real world, human social elements are changing rapidly and constantly. This goes for the cam space, too.
As a network, having great models on your team is key. Having the necessary tools in place for said great models to do their best work is also key. From technology that’s on the cusp to technology that’s actually being used, from clever ideas with potential to tried-and-true tactics that actually convert, it’s important to connect these constantly evolving dots with models, who themselves are constantly changing in an amorphous social world.
Dealing with these constantly evolving, integral moving parts — who has this job? At Flirt4Free, it’s a man named Carlos Diaz.
Diaz is the Assistant Broadcast Manager at Flirt4Free. He’s been with the company for three years and wears many hats, “flexible bridge builder” being the most significant one. Diaz took some time out to chat with us about his work and what he does to to keep Flirt’s moving parts working together.
YNOT: What does a typical workday for you look like?
Carlos Diaz: No day at Flirt4Free is ever typical, and that’s what I love! Right now we are in the middle of planning our 10th Flirt Summit, which is taking place in the Maldives. We are taking over an entire island and bringing over 150 of our top models and studios, so we are busy at work coordinating flights, planning parties and designing new Flirt4Free swag for Summit X!
What’s the most vital aspect of your job?
Traveling to different events and getting to know our models and studios is the best and most important part of my job. Getting their ideas and feedback on ways to continue improving and evolving Flirt4Free is huge for us. Coming back to the office and working with our developers and design teams to implement these ideas and changes is the most important behind the scenes work I do.
What is the biggest pain point you see for cam overall right now?
I think the biggest pain point in camming at the moment is negativity — that’s why I love seeing cam stars like Lindsey Banks going out and spreading positivity and working hard to create a real “cammunity” as she cleverly calls it. The Flirt4Free team — including our models and studios — always call ourselves a “Flirt Family,” and I think when we all show each other love and work together is when the real magic happens.
What’s the most important tech development you see on the cam horizon?
I think the coolest development in camming is interactive technology. We just implemented two-way interactive into our site. I think models and customers being able to control each other’s toys in real time is going to add a new level of intimacy and will really help strengthen relationships between models and customers even more.
What is most meaningful about your work?
Flirt4Free really changes people’s lives. Talking with our models and hearing stories about how working with us has helped them achieve dreams they never thought were possible is the best thing ever. The traveling the world part isn’t so bad either!
