I think most people on C4S use tributes but I'd like to know to, I should start offering customs really
http://www.livecammodelshows.com/ 85% - a mod from here runs it and it's awesome. I have a page there.
http://go.getindiebill.com/ 85% - no personal experience. They cover chargebacks.
https://www.projectmaenad.com/ 70% - small crew, nice site. I use that as well. They cover chargebacks.

do C4S not mind you redirecting? and do you just put your email somewhere to get people to message you about customs?

If you're happy accepting Amazon gift cards, then use them. You get 100% of the money, which is great, but obviously you have to spend it on Amazon which is a bit limiting. I personally don't accept them for customs, because I like getting paid cash. However I do accept them for gifts/tips.
There are 2 websites that allow porn transactions and payout 85%. That I know of, anyway. All the other websites offer 70-80%
LCMS (http://livecammodelshows.com) (LiveCamModelShows). Loveshooks, a moderator on this forum owns it and she can make you a private payment page. You just send the guy the link, he selects the amount from a dropdown box and pays using his credit card. She hasn't been accepting new model applications for a while, but she said she's re-opening applications this week. You can find more info in her thread in the Camming Connection section of the forum.
And IndieBill (https://www.getindiebill.com/go?rcm=e2a1s3). That's my affiliate link, if you click on my link and then sign up, I get a bonus (which doesn't cost you anything). It's totally up to you whether you use it, it's just important to me to be honest when I post affiliate links. If you don't want to use it, just go straight to getindiebill.com without using my link.
Advantages of LCMS over IndieBill:
If you need to refund a guy (sometimes a guy will order a custom, pay, and then start adding loads of things to his order or just generally being an idiot, so I have to cancel his order), just email Loveshooks and she'll refund him quickly and you don't get charged or anything. I'm not sure of IndieBill's refund policy, I haven't had to use it yet.
You are supporting a fellow woman and online sex worker who owns the site. IndieBill is owned by 2 men.
No fees for you or the customer. IndieBill charges the customer $0.95 per transaction. My transactions are always $100 minimum so it's not a big deal, but obviously if you're charging someone $3 and there's a $0.95 fee, that's quite a big percentage.
Advantages of IndieBill:
Instead of having one payment page which Loveshooks sets up for you and you have to email her to make changes to it, you can make as many tribute pages on IndieBill as you like with as many different payment amounts ($3 to $300) and edit and delete them whenever you want to.
I hate saying this, but it looks a lot better, design-wise, and it's more user-friendly, especially on mobile.
You can accept more than just tributes on there. You can upload clips and sell them there (there isn't any traffic, but you can send guys links to buy them and get 85% instead of the 60% on clips4sale), you can sell SnapChat, Skype etc.
Chargebacks are covered. Loveshooks doesn't cover them, but she does prevent and fight them extremely hard (I had one on her site and she was amazing about it).
So yeah. Those are my 2 options that I give guys who order customs from me. I always give them both options because sometimes certain credit cards don't work on certain sites or there's a glitch or whatever so it's important to have more than 1 option.

They do. You should not be redirecting or posting these links on your c4s studio.
You can post whatever you want on your personal homepage though and link from your c4s to that (if you have a prominently placed link back to c4s).
You can also put your work email up on your studio and tell people to message you for customs.
I thought for years that this wasn't allowed, but about every studio does it. So I guess it's no problem.

Yeah, just put your email address at the top of your page. They don't mind that. But you aren't allowed to put your email address in your clip descriptions, just at the top of your page.

Well there is "aliens and monsters" but not everything fits in there either, executrix, vore or mind fuck can fit sometimes. I was surprised there is no horror category, it's a big fetish for me.

Can't log in to C4S this morning, keeps telling me to retry in 2 minutes. For about half an hour now. Oh, and I got the lovely message about getting cheques instead of ACH this month. FANTASTIC. I opened a bank account in the US because cheques often take 2+ weeks to get to me in Canada. I guess I pay some bills late then, or just pray the cheque only takes a week.

UNITED STATES ACH PAYOUT DELAY - CHECKS BEING SENT
Due to a technical issue with the company that processes our US ACH payouts, there will be an unexpected delay for the month of February.
However, in order to make sure everyone receives their payout without any delay we are going to send a paper check instead to make sure you get paid.
IF YOU RECEIVE AN ACH - PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU
NEED TO UPDATE YOUR MAILING ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY:
http://support.clips4sale.com
We will send the checks out on the 1st or 2nd of the month of February to make sure it gets to you as quickly as possible.
The ACH for the following payout on March 7th should have no issues.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We would rather preempt the impending delay by making sure you are paid out quickly instead of waiting for the ACH company to figure out their issues.

ftp didn't work, but I can finally upload now.
The site is really slow indeed.
support told me they are experiencing temporary server issues.
I don't think they could announce working on any particular thing for a certain time. They are constantly working on the site. I saw that they improved the reports (they load in a different way now, which makes it possible to display the detailed reports for several years now. It would always crash with the "2 minute" error before) and they are working on other features as well while keeping the site as stable as possible.
At least this is happening now and not on a day with more traffic.
edit: Just noticed that they changed the payout history as well. Now I can't look further back than 2014. I wrote to them, because I hope they will extend that further. I want to have all my data in there
I really hope there won't be any problems with wire transfers for EU

I was doing a bit of a panic cause I had a good start of the month then a week of no sales, but I am only a month and a half in and the first half a month hardly uploaded
I just needa chill out a bit and wait haha

There is a message that there won't be an ACH deposit this month. Make sure your mailing addresses are correct because they are sending out checks. They did say it will be back to normal in April.
This makes me nervous as hell. I hope they aren't going to lose their processor like several others have recently.

yeah I guess a lot of things are, I'm doing better than I expected on MV's tbh and I'm making an ok amount on C4S so it's all good, ultimately Im enjoying the side of it where by I look at new fetishes and what people seem to like to buy and all that haha

Would you say C4S is more fetish based than MV? I have a MV site but my boob ones sell there and not much else. There's only so many boob movies you can make. Ive started increasing my content and want somewhere that will sell a whole variety of stuff, vanilla and fetish.
Ive started to upload daily to MV and although its increased my traffic slightly but not my sales.

Do you think it's better to open up a second store for more specific fetishes or just blend everything together? Currently I have everything in one store but I was thinking of opening a second for giantess. I really enjoy making those clips but I also like doing sph, forced bi etc and then of course customs are all over the map. I wouldn't be able to do more than 3 clips total per week so like 1 or 2 for each store. Also I have some giantess clips in my current store. Can I also have them in the second or could I delete them and reupload them?

Hiya,
Just thought I'd chime in and say hello! I recently joined c4s (just over two weeks ago) but have been reading this forum along with other stuff about c4s for a while.
Quick question: in your opinion is uploading six videos (3 new ones and 3 as a different format) a week enough? I've seen some people suggest uploading everyday but I'm busy 9-5 Mon-Fri and also work! I might be being a bit preemptive but my page hits have massively dropped over the past week and I'm a tad worried haha
Well, enough for what? To make a certain income? One person can do 3 updates a week and make $$$ and another only make $$. There are so many factors that no one can tell you "Yes, if you do X updates your income will = this."
Right now, do what works for YOU and your lifestyle, don't get caught up in what other people say because then you will stress yourself out trying to achieve that goal. If you have a new studio, your hits might have been higher because guys were curious and checking out your store the first few weeks.
C4S is a great way to make part-time OR full time cash but it takes time to get there. If all you can manage is 3 updates a week for now, do that and if you get the time, maybe do an extra update every week. Patience and consistency are the key! :-)

Between my husband and I, we have a total of 4 stores. We separate them because we saw better results. We ran tests for 6 months and it worked better for us. It helps categorize better. I personally think it motivates me to make more content. That's my 2 cents. :)

When starting to have more than one store, if you already have a lot of content (hundreds of clips):
-Would you break it down into the different stores (move it around), or just leave the current content where it is (even if it no longer matches) and start adding new clips to the new stores?
-If you are going to move clips between stores, is there any efficient way to do this, or do you just need to re-upload hundreds of clips?
Classy_Katy
01-28-2017, 01:56 AM
Ladyaddy - I moved my clips over to the new stores but I didn't have 100s. Some have asked Studio Support to do it but I would rather do it myself. You have to take the clips down before putting them up in the new store...it's been a while since I opened a new one so I can't remember all the ins and outs.

I would delete and reupload but you can keep them there. It may be useful to have a second store, I prefer it for a couple of my fetishes that are quite unique, and now that all clips containing the category name are picked up when the customers go into our stores, I think it is harder for them to find the clips they want, so it's better to have a separate store for a particular category so they're not inundated with clips from other categories. I don't think it's clear enough that they can then click to see clips only from that category and extra clicks decrease sales.
With my secondary stores, I only updated once a week to keep them ticking over.
