*I need to bump this.*

I've finally downloaded WebcamMax because I wanted to record my shows so that I have new content for C4S. I was testing it out just now with AdultWork's JustCamIt software, and 'WebcamMax' isn't showing up as an option in the JCI's video source box. ManyCam is showing up, but not WebCamMax.

_NOOB ALERT_
hey guys i'm a newbie here and i had a few stupid questions I wanted to ask you guys lol.

Can we post links to our clips4sale account on our camsites? I'm a newbie on Streamate.
What other ways do we promote our clips4sale store to get traffic?
Do any of you use other cameras besides your webcam to make your videos?

I would love to hear from you all, thanks

^ it is against streamate rules to post anything that will allow for guys to contact you off the site and you will get suspended if you do. incl. twitter, other camsites, content sites, email, skype, etc. best YOU can do is use the same name on all of your accounts so that these guys can just google you. if these guys truly like you, they will find you anywhere on the web. C4S has a shit ton of traffic already but if you wanna drive more, i suggest you start with twitter and sign up for fetish forums in your niche market.

you can also use any type of cam you want to use for making clips *(preferably HD for quality & selling purposes)* anything with HD capabilities will work just fine. :)

I just got done recording some clips tonight, and while recording one of them I realized that I DO know how to pop my booty one cheek at a time. I knew I could booty clap, but I didn't know I could do THAT! :D I can't wait to add this clip to my store.

Did it involve food? Or pizza?

There is some cheapass with a food fetish going around and chargebacking/refunding a bunch of girls' videos.

I'm sorry it happened MJ!

05-28-2012, 07:24 PM
Thanks. I'm not sure which clips they were, but they were all from the same person. Producer support said something about a stolen credit card. I don't have too many food clips, just looks like someone charged back about 7 clips in two different orders because they felt like it. Time to make some new and higher priced content, I think :) Hopefully C4S stays as great as it has been.

Well, I came back from my trip today to find my first ever C4S chargeback, for about 30 dollars. I'm not sure why this happened yet :(

The issue with charge backs is that we have no power over them. A customer can charge back anything they buy online for up to 6 months and because it's the internet and a signature free environment, the bank will just reverse the charges and charge us $25.00 per chargeback.

BUT... the customer pays a hefty price for doing a chargeback. They can no longer ever purchase again from the website and if they try to come back as a customer, they must repay the fees refunded to them in cash or a money order plus $25.00 per chargeback. In addition, banks do watch this behavior as it is fraud and a crime to falsely claim your credit card was used without your knowledge etc. but you have in fact received goods or services - that is very bad, and people who do this often can and do risk being arrested and prosecuted by the banks and by the credit card companies as well.

Have you ever had someone purchase your clip, then come back to purchase the SAME clip again? I had a $10 clip purchased twice by the same guy 6 days apart. I know cause I looked in 'sales report'. What's up with that? It puzzles me a bit.
Maybe he deleted it the first time by accident? Cause otherwise a part of me feels bad, cause he paid twice. Another part of me, doesn't.... cause I got paid twice :)

It can happen... the system does have a feature that warns if someone has previously bought a clip, it's not perfect but we catch a good majority of duplicate purchases. If the guy realizes it he may come back and ask for a credit and he can re-select a clip of equal or lesser value.

My C4S journey so far:

1st few weeks: OMG, they're buying my clips in these 3 categories, awesome! ....What if the guys in my categories get bored with me and they won't buy my clips anymore? Well, there are always some other categories I guess. But I have no idea what they are. There are also some categories I'll never do. I don't even know what they are but I'm sure I'll never do them. Noseblowing? Farting? People get off on this? O.M.G./:O

End of the first month: Phew, this month went really well! I'm running out of ideas though. I'm doing 5 or 6 categories now but I have to admit, I'm more than surprised. I never knew that you can film yourself while you're washing your teeth and people buy that! And licking lollipop, bubblegum blowing, or just eating! Awesome! And hand fetish? Pantyhose? What, big butt?! Wow! I'll try some of these categories too. I'm so excited!

End of the second month: So, let's go shopping...Lollipop, bubblegum, chewing gum, household gloves, hot dogs, cucumbers, pantyhose, oil, pepper, chocolate, teddy bear. No, I don't have children, and I'm not cooking anything. I'm just filming some clips for C4S. I need some more categories, I'm getting bored with these. Let's do a noseblowing clip. Also, I'm quite sure my dentist has a mouth fetish. He took too long for this check-up. And this guy is buying nail polish and lipgloss...You don't fool me young man, I just know that this isn't for your wife. (I'm sure he's into SPH too, I can see it in his eyes).

End of the third month: No way, I'm not going out, I have the flu. I won't cough, sneeze and blow my nose FOR FREE! Everyone has some fetish and I'm not giving them anything for free. They can pay for it like everyone else. I need to buy earrings but I'm not trying them on. Who knows who has an ear fetish near me? And if I go out and need to go to the toilet? Someone with a toilet fetish might be listening. Which reminds me, I need to film my farting/burping/toilet/snot fetish/spitting clips. They are awesome categories, LOVE them! And there are so much more! I want to have clips in EVERY category!!

...and so on.

So at first I was like 30587

but then I was like 30589

I don't even know why did I write all this, but I wanted to share;D And maybe a newbie will find it helpful (categories and all);D

Hey i just wanted to thank everyone here for this thread. I looked at the clips4sale site ages ago but looking at the clips it seemed to be pretty full on with porn, extreme fetish and bondage which is not my thing at all. But on reading this thread it seemed that more tame clips were quite acceptable so I thought I'd give some of the non-nude, vanilla, and topless categories a go since I'm a retired dancer and bored stupid most of the time.
My store went online last night and I have sold 2 clips already. I thought they were pretty lame but apparently not. One was having a sleep on the couch, the other I stood in front of the camera couging and blowing my nose when I had a hideous bout of the flu.
Don't expect to make millions but it's been a lot of fun and I've learnt some new skills with video editing etc. I'm having a ball.

Actually that means that EXACT same clip has been uploaded. It has nothing to do with the title/name, it has to do with the actual video file. Do you already have a store you forgot about? Is the clip owned by someone else that possibly loaded it already?

I have a screencatch gif for all my clips that have 5 or 6 screen captchures plus the preview enabled. I've been getting e-mails along the lines of "love your (name of clip)" and they go on to suggest what I should add or ideas for more clips of that genre. These are for clips that I haven't sold any of.

The question is, does this mean my clips aren't that good and i need to follow their advice to improve my contenet?
or
Am i giving too much away with my previews and screenshot gifs so they don't feel they need to buy the clip because they've seen enough?

neliana
06-10-2012, 08:43 PM
I noticed that I started selling more clips after I disabled the 10 second previews, you may want to try that. Also a lot of the time I think guys will see something you've done that involves one of their fetishes, like foot fetish for example, but it isn't exactly appealing to them. Like if you made a toenail painting clip they see that you're open to foot fetish, but they'd rather see you rubbing oil on your feet etc. So I think that's where a lot of the requests come from.

@ sara, what does that error message mean? Because I got the exact same error message the other day trying to upload a clip, mine was entitled TC4 and the other clip was TC4 as well, but the name of the clip was Tony and Carmen part 4 or something...That's definitely not something of mine, nor the same clip....I just changed the file name on my clip...

Hi - There was actually a glitch in the system that was causing this to show up for clips with the same title. It's been fixed, please try and re-add the clip you had a problem with. Sorry about that! Let me know right away if you get any crazy error messages, that goes for everyone :) [email protected] <- the best way to contact me for server tech support issues!

I've only been on Clips 4 for a few weeks, doing OK, I've done a few vague suggestions and priced them double what I do for clips I do off my own bat and sell them no problems Anyway i get a request for a specific custom clip, priced it at $4 a min ($25 for 8 min). Not happy because it was difficult for me to make (not a difficult clip for a normal person, but with a house full of teenagers I had to do it at the crack of dawn and dub in a sountrack about 5 times when I could get it without someone calling for me in the background) no-one has bought it yet after a week. So now i don't know what to do with it, should I reduce it to match the price of my non-custom clips, wait longer, or trash it?
I'm really annoyed about this. I seem doomed to attract timewasters.

Sorry that sounds like an over the top reaction but I Had that problem as a model, had that problem as a stripper, had that problem in a normal job. I'm sick of being nice and getting screwed for it

Leave it as it. Neeeeverrr delete any videos from your store - they'll all eventually sell. 1 day from now or 2 years. ;) If you want to lower the price it's up to you.

As far as timewasters...do you have previews up? If you do, scrap them. GIFs are enough. Guys get off to the previews.

Been there done that! Now, unless it is a regular client of mine, I make all custom clip buyers pay in advance for their clip.

You will have to decide on your own whether you want it to remain in your store. Is it any good? Would you pay 25.00 for it? Was there any special effects? If you are proud of it, then market the hell out of it. If not trash it, just dont delete it from your FTP in case he comes back to buy it.

Potty, Its pretty simple. In the admin interface, if your looking at the clip list. You have any option to grab the direct link to the clip or a direct "Buy It Now" button.

Thanks for the response, I understand what you suggest. I just wondered if clips4sale had an option for a link that went to each clip with the description and a visual before the cc info page. but i guess I will have to add that step to my blog. I was trying to save time on doing it twice. Thanks.

So i looked on here to get a converting software type thing to change them to mp4.
All is well and dandy, made a few clips, all but 2 convert perffectly but those 2 buggers are giving me overtime headache!!
They sync and change and all that, but when it comes to playing the audio is off and my cam lags/catches up in super fast mode.
they do not do any of that in AVI format.

General directionless complaint. I update with a new video every day so the store always has fresh content. C4S defies all my attempts to categorize, explain and exploit! Day before yesterday, 440 page views, 7 clips sales. Yesterday, 418 page views, 1 clip sale. This one fetish clip does really well? Upload another video along the same lines, get no sales. Upload a really hot video today? It doesn't sell but something I did in 2010 that was 9 pages in sold 4 copies.

Ask friends who are big C4S sellers for their tips on promotion and when to post clips. They tell me they do no promotion and I got different answers from every single person I ask on what time and day is best to post.

Trying to figure C4S out is going to give me an aneurism, I swear.

You just have to find out what sells. C4S kind of sucks in that the fetishes you may want to do might not sell. If I were you, I'd put up an email address for custom videos, requests, and suggestions and see what guys continually email you saying they want to see. That, and watch what sells and what doesn't in your store. The more innovative and specific, the better usually. Also, a HUGE help is installing google analytics and seeing what search terms (on a search engine) people have found your store with. Sometimes they search really specific things, and I usually always make clips with those specific titles or things, and they usually sell.

Idk how long you've been on that site, but it usually takes at least a few weeks to see what does well for you and what doesn't. Just make more clips (originally, new, innovative, specific ones) of the fetishes that sell for you. The biggest fetishists in the world seem to be on Clip4Sale, so they know what they're looking for.

A good video editor should allow you to split the audio and video tracks apart so that you can re-align them so they sync up a little better. If all else fails, sell with no audio or just give a little note in your description that the audio is off. One of my best sellers right now has some screwed up audio.

How exactly do you get your vids noticed on there ? Or what's the most popular genre(s) of adult videos?

Every time you update, it appears on the homepage, so just adding stuff puts you out there. Joining fetish boards/communities can help, too. Popular categories are listed on the homepage, but remember that those probably have lots of stores in them already, and if you're not actually into it or good at it, they'll know. You're dealing with some of the biggest fetishists in the world, so do what you do well, even if it's not the hottest thing out there.
