Kitty - I always have a story line or some reason for doing what I'm doing. It's about setting the scene and I will usually have the preview active for the first 10 seconds when I am talking and doing that scene setting. I usually just write scripts for customs to make sure I don't forget anything and to make the clip long enough. Take the glove clips...the gloved handjob clips sold for me best, I would come up with some kind of scenario, I find him playing with my gloves and then take over, it's his birthday, he wants me to use them on him, I'm about to do the washing up but want to give him a HJ first, you can do a nurse one with surgical gloves if you have a white robe to wear and surgical masks are popular. Then film close from the side or with the camera looking down his body so they can imagine the he is them. Guys like to see cum and imagine that it is theirs. if I was making a masturbation clip I would be excited about the new type of glove I wanted to try out and talk about it first, or I got horny doing the washing up and had to stop to masturbate, and think about what I'm wearing too. For regular masturbation I will still say at the start why I'm doing it "I'm still so horny after camming", "I have 5 minutes while my partner is in the bathroom so I'm having a quickie", "I want to try my new wand". Site problems don't help! I'm not uploading much at all but I get sales now and again simply because I have so many clips in my stores.

Clearly I just suck at this.... all you girls are complaining about one day with no sales. I have weeks a a time with 0 sales! I have had 4 sales this week so that is a good week for me.

Is is my video categories and the actual video itse'f where I'm failing? I try not to look at other models work as I don't want to be accused of ripping someone's idea off. But, at the same time I have needed to watch some clips to get an idea of what certain fetishes are all about. One thing I've noticed with the top selling producers is that ALL of their clips have some sort of a storyline....is this where I'm going wrong, mine really don't have a storyline it's just me talking about the fetish and giving encouragement, or making myself cum. So tell me honestly, to improve my clips am I going to need to start writing stories and scripts? If that's all it is I'll try harder, but if I'm still missing the mark as to why my clips don't sell, then I really don't know what more to do other than admit defeat.

There is something going on witht the site...I haven't been able to upload via ftp for the last 12 hours, they just continually fail. Uploading in the web browser much slower than normal too. So this is all because of server upgrades? Love the advice "don't upload for a few weeks" I guess I'll leave C4S alone for a while then. I need to rethink my approach anyway, I'm still going wrong somewhere.
you dont have to write a whole script as such, just give a scenario or reason for doing the video, I do "Schoolgirl does x" a lot, it doesn't have to be elaborate it just mixes things up a bit.
Also I still have more no sales days than sales days (although the sales % is closer to 50% of days for me this month woo) - it's important to remember we are new to C4S and the girls in here have been on C4S for years - how many versions of each clip do you upload?

03-26-2017, 07:25 AM
Phone ate my reply! I only do MP4 versions. Is there any point to doing wmv's? Their support says we shouldnt do that to get more exposure. I know the last store I tried to open I did, but I still didnt get anymore sales. And it looked bad, two or three versions of the one clip, it looked amateurish and like I'd make a mistake. Also, my upload speed is 150KBps 600mb file taking 8 hours to upload tonight. So doing different versions probably isnt worth my time. If you cant have the same clip name or use the same category twice how do you get around it? Is there any benefit to having two versions?

Classy_Katy
03-26-2017, 07:37 AM
You can use WMV and MP4, and you can make different sizes for those 2 formats. It can look messy but it does help when your clip covers more than one category, and when there is more than one category for the same fetish. If it's a hassle now with uploading and you're still finding your feet, you could be better off staying as you are now with MP4 and the main fetish category.

I did make some extra versions for recent clips, but then c4s started having issues. If I ever get this fast internet they say is coming, it wont be a problem. Do you girls find your shorter clips sell better? I have a few long clips but mostly I cut one filming session into three clips.

PixiieGirl

I ask cause I personally do a SD and HD version of clips in MP4, it helps me in terms of having to film less clips so I dont run out of ideas as quickly :)

When I started out I made mostly short clips (3 to 4 minutes) but made crap money. Once I started making longer clips my monthly sales went up because I was making more per sale. I try to have all my clips be no less than 7 minutes but strive for 10 minute clips or longer.

when you first start you have to have 10 unique clips, that doesn't mean you can't have a HD and a SD version of clips after you have your 10 unique clips - it's been talked about loads in this thread that it is indeed ok but you seem to ignore what people say on here constantly so

I'm fed up with the site not accepting the file name for my images anymore, it's messing up my library as I have to change it now, and then it doesn't store it but tells me it already exists when I try to upload it again so I have to change the file name yet again...absolute pain in the backside. Why are the changes always making things worse?!

My clip I uploaded last night isn't showing up in my store. I e-mail support and they say they're having server issues. So that new clip hasn't been up on the store for 12 hours and counting. I wish they'd alert us studios when they're having server issues so we wouldn't waste our content. How difficult is it to send a quick mass e-mail or put an alert when you sign in? They need way better communication especially since these server issues are becoming a daily occurrence recently.

Katy are you talking about the gif you make how it says it already exists on the server and do you want to overwrite (or something?) I just click yes and then there is no problem, it overwrites I suppose and the gif shows up on both my mp4 and wmv versions. Or am I misunderstanding your problem? I think the issue is they're trying to stop problems where if people name their gifs generically like I used to do "Femdomjoipv.gif" the next time I do a femdom joi a year later I forgot about it and it overwrites the old gif.

On my store the newest 2 clips aren't showing up on my front page, but if I resort the order to Newest, the clips are actually there. Had to double check that they are ordered correctly, and they are. Just for some reason they aren't showing up on the front page.

*And I hit refresh and now they are gone. WTH. Also messing with the sorting and different arrangements show different total clip numbers. Logging to check the clip list is laggggggggiiiiinnnng. Ugh, guess today is a good day to run errands and I'll save uploading for another day.

Did you find sales were a little slower this month? Jan and Feb were great for me, but March was a little slower. Not a bad month at all, just my overall sales weren't as high as the previous 2 months. Last year it was slower than Jan/Feb as well, so it may just be a March thing....the month before taxes are due....I don't know.

I made more than January and pretty much the same amount as February and I made slightly more than I did last March. All in all this March was a pretty average month for sales for me.

I'm having the same issue now. I uploaded three new clips in the past eight hours and none of them are posted in my store but says they are active. I checked the category and the thumbnail shows the correct clip. But when I click on it, it does not show up in my store. I contacted support. Waiting to hear back.

As far as sales go this month...March has been my second highest earnings month since I started on C4S three years ago. So that's pretty awesome. And I broke into the Top 50 these past two days yay.

I'm totally dreading doing my taxes but thankfully it will be over soon. I have to make sure to put aside a good amount EACH MONTH for taxes next year so I don't stress. It's better to have saved too much than too little.

I am a little worried, because focusing on the money to be made can be tough to overcome when you realize that it's not going all by itself. Then there are doubts, because you could have found the answers if you were really motivated to do so. Since these are just my personal impressions:

You can check on my blog and see if you find answers. Googling would have probably taken you there eventually.

I can also answer your question right away. Studios on c4s currently make anything from 0$ to at least $14000 a month. That is a safe guess though. I am pretty sure, all in all, the highest amount made is more than 14k. You knew that answer already, so it's not relevant. What I think you truly wish to know is how easy it is to make the money.

Anyone can do it, so that part is not taking a lot of special requirements, but it's not going all by itself. You have to put in many many hours of dedicated work.

Exactly. And others have mentioned their earnings on this thread as well. (And there's also that Larkin Love thread where she stated she made 6 figures in a year on C4S). So....

If you are too lazy to make the effort to READ, don't bother with a clips store as it's wayyyyy more effort.

C4S has good traffic and you could bring in your own traffic too. It really doesn't matter what anyone else is earning, with traffic the potential for any income is there...the rest is up to you.

So I want to change my payment information so I can get deposits on my netspend card, however it says on the site
You can not ACH or WIRE payouts to prepaid credit cards. You must enter a valid bank account and routing number for ACH / WIRE Payouts. So what I am wondering if anyone was able to use a netspend or greendot card anyways. I get my TTM and NF deposits on them so I do not see what the issue is.

I use netspend. That may have been a old policy, I don't know? But I recently changed over to Netspend without any issues. But I would suggest that when you send the email to change it don't mention the type of card just put in the banking info.

Because no one would be able to tell you how much money that your studio can make. It could between 15 to 15,000 per month. It depends on your quality of work, category, audience, and other factors. Frankly, you have to put the effort and time in to make your clip studios successful :)

Dude who is heavy lifting for over 30 years was doing his thing.And other dude tried to copy him cuz he wanted that kind of result...welll that dude who was copying dropped weight right on his fucking face.

Just activated my first C4S store in mid-March and have been steadily updating with both my new and "vintage" clips/pics for a few weeks now. I've been very pleased/impressed with support/assistance when needed and find the site fairly easy to navigate. First month's receipts are just over $100, with 13 clips and 2 site memberships sold.

In all, I'm fairly optimistic after the first few weeks. I certainly don't rely on this for any "certain" income, and honestly, I'm just an exhibitionist perv at heart (so that helps, lol). And with lots of content from my two prior subscription sites, I really enjoy/appreciate that C4S allows me a way to make it all available to fans/followers both old and new.

The site is being somewhat glitchy for me right now. When I hit add clip, it will go to load and then stop. It does not tell me the video was added or anything. It is adding the videos though, just not giving that verification. Took me a minute to realize what was going on.

Vomiting? You know, I don't mean to fetish-shame (is that even a thing....?), but sometimes I have to wonder about some of these fetishes.... And I know I shouldn't bring this up, but.....all these women I see gaining weight...for fetish? It just seems so unhealthy and for what? So some guys can beat their dicks?
