Hmm I was thinking of starting a Clips4sale on the next month, but with all these payment issues I see I am worried. I wanted to do direct deposit, but are checks more reliable?
Do they still offer those?
Thanks for any help.

I've always had cheques (except for that time I was a Payoneer beta tester) and they've always come on time and I've never had issues in the 10 years I've been with c4s. Never done wire. I prefer to just get ahead financially and not get the fees.

I've received cheques since I started 4 years ago and never had a problem. Since the banking change, they've been coming earlier than before.

QUESTION--so, I log into my email just now to see I just got a HUGE order.
I'm talking $230 in one order from one guy..
this has never happened to me before so I'm of course thinking, either someone is buying a bunch of stuff to put on pirate sites..or it's gonna get charged back.
What do you all think?

I think you should contact support via live chat, give them the order number and ask them if the guy has a history (previous customer) with C4S. If he does, you can have a better peace of mind. If he doesn't, and he's a brand new customer, C4S might have put a block on the transaction. I've noticed that *sometimes* when a new customer does a large clip order, C4S will put a block on the downloads and give the customer a message to contact C4S. Then the customer has to fax in some proof that they are who they are (they only have to do this ONCE) and then they can download the clips. OR, if they refuse, C4S will refund the customer.

Hi girls, My C4S store was activated yesterday and I already got an email asking for a custom video.
On the email there's this info: "Site Contact for www.my_store_id.c4slive.com". I opened the link and it seems to be a membership site where I found one of my vid in the section "recently viewed clip". What does this mean? I don't remember activating membership.

Hi everyone, sorry for my English, C4S still has payment delays and we are VERY DESPERATE so we want to know:
US producers are getting their payments without problems?
International producers who get their payments via mail checks has experienced any problems (delays, lost checks, etc.)
Thanks in advance for answering.

Any one else getting horrible numbers this month?
Ever since May my numbers have been falling hard. My income is now only a fraction (20%) of what I was earning monthly for the past 3 years.
Two things I have changed:
1. C4S sight "upgrades".
2. Me using GIFs with live motion.
For awhile I suspected that bugs during the site upgrades may have made it difficult for customers to view my newest clips, it also screwed up the clip order and site navigation. But I am also wondering if me using GIFs that have previews that are live motion now instead a collection of screens is causing it. Basically they jerk off to the live motion gif and don't buy the video.

Hello everyone. I am new here and I have just finished the process of opening the store at clips4sale. I read this thread and I wanted to say thank you for all the advice's I found from all of you. Sinna your guides are wonderful. I have started filming clips and have 15 for now. However I am concerned that this is a bad moment to start. The last entries are less then reassuring when it comes to payment - I am from Europe. Also I have noted that there seems to be a plague of charge backs. So I wanted to ask you - should I start in September (like I planed) or would it be better to wait another month and see if things get settled? I know that it is not easy to reach the payment minimum in first months but I still would like to know your opinion.

what the different? if you dont mind to start now, you can set a higher min payout i guess and start making money.
for me was easy to reach my first payout. if one person said so it does not mean everyone got the same problem.
I wonder if people from Asia, Australia, South america get payed with issues too.

But I am also wondering if me using GIFs that have previews that are live motion now instead a collection of screens is causing it. Basically they jerk off to the live motion gif and don't buy the video.
I use a series of still images in a gif, but I also offer the 10 second video preview (for all of my videos except 1 category, those guys will jerk to the same 10 seconds forever so I disable previews when I update there). My June was AMAZING, July was lower but still good, and I am having a great month this month. However, several categories have totally collapsed for me, so I have struggled a bit trying to find new categories and ideas to replace previously good sellers for me.
I don't know how much this affects you, as it seems to be more in some categories than others, but a lot of camgirls have started doing clips as several camsites have some technical issues right now and camgirl forums (including this one lol) are flooded with the tip to "make clips it's passive income bb". I think Manyvids and IWC and Kinkbomb etc are maybe splitting some category traffic as well (Kinkbomb femdom, MV vanilla stuff). I have a few conspiracy theories, but none worth airing :P

Personally, I found that making live motion gifs INCREASED my sales. The key is to give them enough to entice them, but not too much. There are things you can do/show in those types of gifs that you can't do with a series of still images. Guys can see how you move, or give a seductive glance, or any number of things and it hooks them in to click that BUY button. But I do think it's a bit of an art....picking the most flattering scenes from a clip, not showing too much, showing enough variety in scenes (motions), etc. But yeah, I use to think the same thing, that guys would just jerk to them. But a lot of top 50 stores use them (and I'm always trying new things), so I figured I'd do them myself and I *swear* they helped with sales, as that was the only thing I changed at the time.

Hi Nina! I think you should go for it! I just started my store at the beginning of this month and I reached payout in 2 days! My advice for you would be to pick SEVERAL fetishes. I think I decided on 10 or 11 fetishes and found 3 of them that sell like hotcakes. I was nervous to start as well but I made payout in 2 days! I've also been very sick this past week and not been able to upload an vids and I am still making sales. I would suggest taking one night off a week to file an entire week's worth of content then set them to publish once a day for the next week. Daily uploads will get you the best traffic. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply Dahlia_love. I currently have the next 8 days free from work. I planed to film more clips and post them daily starting in September. I don't live alone so I can't do that whenever I want. Only when the apartment is empty so I want to make the most of it :)

No problem! Good luck! Also, I have not had any charge backs, I forgot to include that in my last post. Also, does anybody know how to link my Twitter account to my C4S store? I want my twitter to update anytime I make a sale like on Niteflirt. Also, this may not be the place for it but has anyone had luck with any other clip sites? I tried visiting some of the other forums and it's so depressing. Lots of negativity and makes me not even want to try. Thanks girls :-D

What do you find is good for getting more fans for your clips? Any particular retweeters? Being on MyGirlfund? Anything?
I find that people engage with my ManyVids twitter updates quite a bit and seem to get fans for both clip sites that way.

08-22-2016, 05:54 PM
Update your store regularly and often. Update in categories that are updated and have traffic, but don't over do it. I don't get hardly any business from Twitter - the only people that pay attention to me there are people that are big fans of me, but there's very few that enjoy twitter. As long as you keep updating and making stuff people buy it should be good.

But I am also wondering if me using GIFs that have previews that are live motion now instead a collection of screens is causing it. Basically they jerk off to the live motion gif and don't buy the video.
I have been using c4s as my main income source for about a year and a half now, and I have noticed a big dip the last 2 months, especially this month. However, that being said, I have also been way less diverse in the types of clips and categories that I am posting in the last 2 months. I have to admit, I have gotten a bit lazy. I do think something is going on overall though, because when I used to dip like this, briefly, I could get my numbers and sales back up again, WAY faster than I am experiencing (especially this month). That being said I still hold c4s as my favorite clip site. And I am totally confident that if I work harder at it, and experiment with some new categories, I can get things jumping again. I know that on a lot of the blogs and forum sites like this, where I occasionally stop by and read ...many, many people struggle to get a livable income right off the bat with c4s. My experience has been different. I definitely have to put in 8 hour days frequently (moreso now that I am no longer a novelty), but I have always made enough money to live off of from c4s alone ..and I am no supermodel or anything (although my monthly expenses are only about $1500/ month). I also do post a lot of clips, sometimes 5 - 8 new clips a day. Although some of these are somewhat easy clips, such as tooth brushing etc. I don't want to insult anyone who has not had brilliant luck with this site, despite working hard, but I do want to reassure people that it's possible to make a living off of clips alone. I have also noticed, that for me, the types of clips which sell well on MV..pretty much get me nowhere on c4s. Personally, I do better on c4s, with a mix of pure fetish and clips where I don't even necessarily take off my clothes. Someone else was commenting on this a few pages back, and my experience has been similar...getting naked, or not, does not affect my c4s sales significantly. However, I have found the opposite to be true of manyvids. These are just my personal experiences though, that I am being honest about. Everyone has different strengths :) But hang in there new girls/ people, and/ or those of you who are newish, because it really is an awesome site that offers a ton of potential and fun :) I have also done pretty much the opposite of what many advice blogs recommended...I rotate and post in a really wide variety of categories. That being said, so far I have stayed away from too much BDSM and Femdom, because I know to really do well in those areas you do, generally, need to put a lot of focus and attention into just those areas, and not be too scattered. Hope this info helps..happy clip making ladies. Also I have never had a late or short payment, but I am USA, and it appears most of the payment issues are occurring with wire transfer. I started with checks, and moved to ACH, and have never had any problems (but like I said I am inside the US).

So if I am listing the clip immediately, it magically tweets itself. But if I am scheduling it to release in the future...I make a tweet for it and schedule it in Tweetdeck. I'm also tweeting about some older clips this way. I was fucking THRILLED the other day when I tweeted about an older clip and it sold twice. Was it from my tweeting? No idea, but I did the happy dance.
