P.O. Box

If a member wants to send you a gift, or you want to take the next step to protect your location from mailers – you can use a P.O. box for around $50 a month, check with your local post office, drug stores, etc. Physical security and protecting yourself is always worth the fee and you can get one in any location – close to you or further away.

Internet

You’ve got a decent internet connection, but have you checked with your internet provider for options? Call and find out if you can increase your upload speed. This is an extra cost that’s easy to recover.

If you’re getting poor cam quality, always use SpeedTest.net to check your speed. No sign-up required.
