It doesn't look like any of the videos that I tried to remove using the FTP worked. They are all still in the drop down list, even after I refresh the list. I deleted the videos yesterday and they are still there. These are videos that have never gone live, some are accidental uploads (wrong store), some where duplicates of videos, etc. They are all still there :(

If you read the message, it says that you can't delete any files for clips that never sold or have sold but it was more than 90 days ago & you've since deleted the listing. So yeah, you can't delete your files. This is bad news because these are the only kind of files I actually want to delete.

Question is, do they mean never sold - regardless if it ever was up for sale. I thought not, but it's C4S so who knows lol. I have a number of faulty clips uploaded by mistake and I am always a tad worried I someday will click on them when adding a clip, and maybe not notice before someone buys. I just want them gone from the scroll list.

I have not tried to delete anything yet, because it's total chaos in my list since the whole corrupt file thing. I first have to write down which clips are still good to add. One problem is that I renamed corrupt clips (since they could not be overwritten) so I might not find those on my hdd and have to be careful not to delete clips that I still wanted to add.

I think c4s support will help when I really want to delete files although they don't meet the criteria. As justsometwat said, of course they have not sold the past 90 days.

I was to the bank today, with the three C4S checks I have received so far. Guess what - my country has one of the most modern bank security systems in the world, and the banker called US check system "stone age" and just laughed when I said the checks were sent with ordinary mail. To process the checks, they have to send each check back to US again to be verified, and all costs that occur, I have to pay. There would be very little left, and in worst case, I end up paying more in fees than the payout! They advice to do wire transfer only, but the banker was chocked when I told him it costs 40 USD. "It shouldn't cost you ANYTHING."
I have asked C4S of course and awaiting reply. Worst case, they won't deal with it and I have checks worth over 2000USD that I can use for wiping my ass. Best case, I probably still have to pay to get the checks sent back for destruction.

My bank only sent the first one back to be verified but it didn't cost me any extra. My bank also suggested that I have a wire transfer and couldn't believe it when I said how much the charge was.

I'm in the UK and pay just £9 to bank my cheques. I'm with Barclays and apart from my first cheque, they clear the next day. I've had cheques since 2012 and never had a problem.

Hey welcome to the reality :P

I'm in Spain and it happened to me with my first checks a few years ago, then one day my bank decided that US Checks are too risky and they don't take them anymore...
Long story short, I use a Prepaid Card (not too cheap but controllable) because wire transfer cost money that an intermediary bank charges and nobody can tell how much money you'll receive (I hate banks and their dirty business)...

C4S will help you.
You can void the checks and receive your money through another method or in a bigger check if this is cheaper (ask your bank for their fees for US checks: fixed price or %)
And don't worry you won't loose your money now :P

PS: I don't know if 2000 in your bank account is normal or your bank will suspect something... you have to pay your taxes or something..

Ahhh I can't remember why cheques weren't an option for me now? Maybe cause my banks far away or the minimum or specific NatWest issues I can't remember haha
Maybe not the cheapest then :)

Just noticed that my google analytics finally seems to show more realistic figures (3 times of what it showed after the category changes) again. Since about 3 days. When they introduced the category change (clicking a category will filter your studio for that keyword) my GA became useless as it would show only a tiny fraction of hits.

We'll have to see if this is normal from now on or if I just have some very unusual stuff going on (c4s hits down, ga hits tripled).

Gia solved it for me, thank god :) It will be wire transferred now,but with the fee of course.
US checks are no good here, too risky for human error or fraud. Yes they have fixed prices, but on top of that, US can add extra fees to check it again, and my bank can't control or predict that. Before, they would send only the first one for verification and then hopefully your good, but manual systems are outdated now.

Miss Bohemian: Yes, banks can investigate large transfers, but that's not a problem for me. I have my own company and declare taxes on this like my other income :)

What is daily pay? I know it has been mentioned before, but I can't find info on it on C4S. And how do you set up a prepaid card? (And why doesn't everyone use that?)

daily pay is done through an external service - http://www.dailypayservice.com/main/ this is the only one on C4S I think - they take a fee (certain %, maybe five?) but in return you can get paid daily and to your bank account. I think there was some drama with them a while back but it was before my time - I'm with them for C4S and AW and had zero issues :)

I checked out dailypay - fee is 5% and, as I interpret it, an additional 2-3 dollars to international accounts. So I decided to go with the regular wire transfer, but to put payout minimum to 2500. Then 45USD is only a 1,8% fee. I can wait for that sum to add up.

Years ago, weekends would be so good. But it's long since the majority of the (part-time) studios seem to update (only) in the weekends, that the extra traffic in weekends is split up between so many studios and the exposure is cut so short by massive updates, that it's indeed not better than a weekday anymore.

c4s staff once told me that they have most visitors on Monday though. Monday has not been a better / worse day for me. I had a few $ on Sunday, in between an actually good run. Pretty sad but I can't be bothered because when looking at the big picture (whole month or better year) it's all averaging the same amounts across 40+ months.

Every time I think "now I made the next step" a bad day / month will follow and average things out.

I've noticed an issue with my store which I've just messaged support about. All my old clips are showing up on the first page. I went to the drop down box to change it to "New" and nothing happened. Still see the old clips. I changed it to "Ascending" "Descending" everything. Nothing happened. Only old clips show up. I went to the MILF category to check it from there....I clicked on my store from Top 50, new clips show up....okay good...BUT when I click on the 'Show Clips Only In MILF Category' then all my old MILF clips show up.
I've tried it with a few other stores and the same thing happens. Old clips show up first.

****I just checked my email and support tells me they've been experiencing server issues. The programmers are working on it and will be fixed shortly.****

Okay that's good. No wonder my sales/hits have been insanely low today. Yesterday terrible sales too. This could be the answer. Hopefully it gets resolved soon. Support answered me within five minutes.

To be honest, I was thinking that something must be going on as well, because my past few days have been so crazy up and down that you think "how is this possible?" My store shows up correctly though and it also did earlier today when I updated.

Edit: Forgot that I wanted to say: I have noticed old clip sales all of a sudden though. So that might be the reason.

I tried it too, several times, and got lots of traffic but close to zero sales. I had, in my opinion, fresh takes on the fetish and good looking videos. But on the toplist most videos are filmed with 18mm or less lens, giving a fish eye effect I personally don't like and feel is distracting. But guys like it obviously. I filmed with 25mm. Many also have a foot theme, which is of course huge (lol), and that was not my focus, so that could also be the "problem". Giantess is so fun and relatively easy to film so I might give it another try.

This is really probably not the best place to say how desperately sad I feel today but here goes...
I am sooooooooo over these charge backs... its really pissing me off now. This has been a really shit month sales wise and I have worked bloody hard.
On a positive I am carrying on strong with my work and hoping for an end of month miracle.
I need this job to just take me through my vanilla career training ( 1 year left ) and then I really dont think its for me anymore. I can't get a 9-5 currently as I have to do so many free work experience hours on my course. A way out of this job can not come soon enough, at the moment I would rather do anything than this...
Every day I have tried to be thankful for the freedom it has given me, it gave me the space to get through really severe post traumatic stress, and the income was once good.
However recently its just so hard,I feel trapped by it and the income is now quite poor.
I am tired of the piracy, tired of the isolation, tired of the bullshit, and just generally fed up with it.
I want to work a job that I can tell people about, be open and true to me, not always have to look over my shoulder and worry about.
I want a job that I can tell my children about one day and be proud of.
I am sorry I guess this is a really negative rant.. feeling really sad today.
There are many of you that are very proud of what you do and can be open about it, and might find these words wrong and I am sorry.
The truth is it probably says far more about how I feel about myself than the job I do.

I am so sorry to hear that. My problem is not the same as yours, but I understand your feeling. I struggle to find time to shoot and edit, juggling two other jobs and a creative hobby that is my true dream but always comes last. The first 3 months I uploaded a new clip everyday and I just don't understand how I did it. Now it's 3-4 uploads a week and I still make the same, because I learned what works better and what is wasted time. I feel I don't have enough time to do anything fully, and still I can't choose one thing. C4S I think is too risky to have as only income for me, and it would be very lonely as a full time job. It's also too little money for the hours put in and I live in a very expensive city. It feels weird to have this secret, but luckily I have trusted friends I can talk to about it. One can be proud of something and still not talk openly about it.

I simply dont seem to understand what brings more traffic or sales to the store? I have just begun and my store is still visible under main category new studio page despite that i hardly get 200 plus visitors a day in my store, updating twice that too minimum. Is it simply luck i wonder! Because my primary category i believe i am pretty good at it, and despite that this is really going dull. Though i am not giving up but yes seriously i am still wondering and then filming for different categories even if they are not really my field or fetish to be precise.

Hey there,

I can relate with some of what you are saying. Especially the "working a job that I don't talk to people about". I get sad when I'm sitting at the dinner table with my boyfriend and his family and the "how was work today" question comes up but it's NEVER directed at me. They know I'm in the adult industry but no details of what I do. So nobody every asks me how my day was lol. Except my boyfriend sometimes but he doesn't even like what I do. He's accepted it but doesn't like it. Which also makes me sad but that's a whole other story.

I hear you on the isolation as well. I had felt isolated for a long time. Although last week I began an intense workout training with a group of women. I'm so happy I did it. It gets me out of my apartment, it's early in the morning, my sleep schedule has drastically improved and I have more energy throughout the day. My schedule was HORRIBLE before. Literally, for the past three years I've been a night owl. Sleeping till noon or usually later. Going to bed at 3,4 or sometimes 5 in the morning! Now I feel like a new person and grateful for what this training class has done for me in my personal life. Today I'm awake when the sun is out haha. Before, my day was getting started when the sun was going down. It feels so much better this way. What if you were to join some type of gym or class? I'm doing a PowerUp CrossFit six week class. It's like boot camp with relay races, intense cardio and it's competitive which I really enjoy.

Even though I don't really talk to people about my job, I feel proud of what I am doing. LucyMarie, your store was one of the ones I admired when I first began on C4S three years ago. Your eyes are mesmerizing and you have a very unique, soft yet sultry voice. Your clips look great in general. I remember you mentioning about not doing taboo anymore. I don't mean to pry into your business but what caused that change? Only because...I do lots of taboo fantasy role-plays. I enjoy the fantasy and it turns me on. But I can't help to think that maybe, down the road...will I regret making taboo clips? Right now I love it. I'm into it. Maybe I will regret, maybe I won't. I hope I don't and I really don't think I will but...people change. I know I've changed much throughout the years. I'm just curious about your perspective. You may dm if you want but if not that's fine too =)

I hope your day gets better and thanks for reading =)

hya Girls, thanks for the kind words.
I kind of regretted clicking post after because it was such a ramble and a bit depressing to say the least, but I guess sometimes you have to keep it real.
Sorry if it sounded disrespectful in any way.
Life is what you make it I guess and only I can change things, sometimes its tough climbing out of a negative hole

I guess the reason I have several jobs is that no job has ever given me everything I need. It can be fulfilling, but with an unsteady income. It can be well-paid, but exhausting. It can be fun, but not deeply interesting. Or it can be free, but very lonely. So I combine to get all those important aspects. It also means I pretty much can't get unemployed which is an extra security in itself. What my jobs don't give me I find in my hobbies. Exercising is super for health, esteem etc. I strongly recommend it and wish I did it more. Also, something that is social is very important if the job is lonely, and make sure to see friends and family often. With some friends that work close by, I have lunch or a coffee break with them, just an hour during the workday -and that fulfills that need for colleagues for that day.
With everyone that are not closely trusted, I say I work with a video blog with a related theme to my fetishes, just not mentioning it's a fetish. That pretty much sums up what we do without going into detail. When people ask to see it, I tell them it is on a pay platform for members in another country, and I enjoy being free to doodle around for people I will never meet only. Everyone has accepted that explanation so far. I am not lying, just not telling the whole truth. And I can still mention that today I have been updating, shooting etc.

I exercise alot,and also meet friends for coffee etc. Most of the time I manage myself pretty well, Its just been a build up recently and I think I am still depressed.
I have not had a normal job in over 4 years so very worried about the gap in my CV and what to say etc too.
Thanks for giving me an insight into your life though, its good to know how people find balance : ) you sound like you know the elements that work together to make you happy

I am depressed too, but it's better than before. I work too much and I was in a separation I have yet to overcome. I reached goals only to find they didn't make me happy. But those little things, coffee, friends etc, I guess are what really is important in the long run for everyone :)

I had that CV gap too.. Then I realized my hobbies gave me a lot of mentionable knowledge and experience, and I also took on big, but short term unpaid projects to prove I can do things. Like working with events for a weekend or so. That lead me to the jobs I do today :) I also have had my own company since I was a student. Even though I had entire years sometimes where I didn't work on it at all, it still filled that gap just writing I started the company 20XX and have had it since.

oh and also, education is never a gap :) Whether its university or reading/learning stuff on your own.
