Has anyone come across this bollocks? I am trying to upload a clip and typing in a completely normal title for it but have this warning in red that URLs aren't allowed and it won't let me add the clip...there is no URL!!!
I have contacted support...
EDIT - sorted now, after putting ... there needs to be a space!

I got my first sale! Well actually 2! Any girl that's reading this, man trust me, it's worth the time and effort! I've had this clip store for a couple of months and I've spent days learning editing, iMovie, advertising, I've spent hours each day on this site taking notes and applying them and now I'm reaping the benefits. it's not a lot of money of course but it's a start!

Clips4Sale is my main income and it has been for a few months now, its very worth it to spend some time of slow camming, making some nice videos and waking up to many sales. If you put the hours, you can sell a lot on there.

Does anyone have any recommendations on (for? I'm terrible at prepositions) external hard drives? For MacBooks? I'm going to get one from Amazon but I haven't had the best luck getting Tech stuff from there. The things I pick by just reading the reviews haven't been that good. Word of mouth recommendations seem to work better.

For God's sake, clips are showing as uploaded on front page but not showing in the store... no idea how long this has been going on today?

Clips can show up on the front page within 5 minutes of posting them but can take up to 15 minutes to show up in your store.

It's showing now but it took a lot longer than 15 mins today, close to an hour before it showed in my store. Nothing on the front page at the time was showing in anyone's store but looks like it's all okay now. :)

Anyone see the message about the new "spring incentive sales"? Make a new CID link and get 75% sales through it?
So...what about the top 11-30 contest winners and their old codes? Those are now worth LESS than those who didn't even participate?
This is so confusing.

Interesting. I worked my ass off to end up in the top 10 and now one of my prizes is being offered to everyone. And being put on the front page of the website for 3 months still hasn't happened. So at the moment, only 1 out of 3 prizes has actually worked out for me.

The response I got from C4S was we have to make a new code to take advantage of the better promotion too. Feels really unfair.

Dear people who has a store in clips4sale but live outside of US!!!
Do u guys paying tax after clips4sale money???
Stores from US getting tax papers every year so for them its not a question but outside of US store owners not getting any paper. I asked c4s staff but they couldnt give a straight forward answear.
i make around 1000 dollar/month. if it turns out i have to pay tax after this then i am fucked...
I live in a European country, not UK or eastern Europe. I would believe the idea is similar everywhere, but talk to, or check out info online for your country's tax rules. C4S won't know the laws of every country.
I am required to pay tax on all income, if I make above a certain level in total. Sometimes banks report repeated or large sums that are transferred to an account. C4S doesn't report anything to the authorities outside of US. C4S payouts are paid to my personal account, so it's up to me to report (or maybe the bank will anyway).
I am required to pay tax where I live even if the money is made abroad (exception when commuting to a neighboring country) If I move abroad I would pay tax there after 6 months in most cases.
Here, we are required to report income once a year, and in advance pay an estimated tax monthly. If you are employed, your employer normally does this for you, but working for C4S is more like being self-employed. You are required by law to keep an ongoing diary of all income but you can deduct relevant expenses with receipts. Like video equipment and costumes/material that are only used for clip making :) (Computers and cell phones don't allow for tax deduction anymore in my country) One can ignore reporting, or report falsely - but if you are investigated and found to hide income you get heavily fined. They investigate random picks and past years, they have been looking more closely at online types of work.
Since paying taxes gives me all kinds of benefits, I am happy to do so :) But you need an overview to avoid unpleasant tax surprises!

Hi guys, Just wanted to ask a question about clips4sale and maybe other clip sites? Ive been camming on and off for a few years but got sick with chronic fatigue syndrome a while ago and it has made camming nearly impossible so exploring other options. Is it possible to make a decent income on clips4sale and maybe utilizing the other clips sites aswell if im doing really basic clips? Im not fantastic at acting and coming up with more advanced clips so im just talking more about balloon stuff, foot fetish, hair brushing etc etc. Any details about how much you guys make and how how many clips you upload/what sites would be amazing! Thank you :)

My understanding of C4S is that it is a site for kinks.....I say that because i mostly do toilet stuff and i sell tons....all my other videos, dont sell much at all. I know for a fact that the top girl on the site, is a top due to mom & son roleplays...Would be good for you to check the top studios and see what they do.

I had to stop camming for a while and really got into clips when I had Fibromyalgia...I say had because a friend suggested I watch Joe Cross' movie (on youtube) called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead and try doing a juice fast, which I did for 60 days and I have been symptom free for 4 years now. Back to your question...you can make an income selling clips and those are excellent places to start, although I don't know how much demand there is in the hair categories. Foot fetish is a very popular and it can take time to get noticed. I had no idea which of the categories I tried, I would do well in. Once you see what is selling, make more of that and see how you can vary it, at the same time look for new categories to try. C4S is quite femdom and taboo orientated and you can bring in that aspect to regular clips. Guys will email you and some of it will be useful.

Thanks so much for your reply! I've done lots of research about cfs and health in general and have actually watched that doco plus heaps more I believe I can get well from this but its going to be a process. Thanks for sharing a little of your story
In regards to C4S, they were just example categories, I have no idea what categories I would try out. Do you mind me asking how much you made at the start? I don't know whether to keep on camming a little bit so I can still support myself or if I should just go all out with clips.

My first month was $157, with 66 clips, non-femdom back in 2012. Girls making femdom clips have made over $1,000 in their first month. For which categories to start with, I would look at what appeals to you and what you already have that you could use (all types of clothing can come into it). Recorded cam shows sell or ideas from past cam shows/role plays. Even cleaning clips can sell (makes me actually do it)...whatever you're doing, consider whether you could be filming it and what twist you could bring to it.
You might want to just cam on your best camming days and make clips on the other days. I stopped camming completely for a year and that made it much easier to stay in the zone for clip making.

Im strongly considering doing only clips on the weekends and cam my few hours from now on due to family reasons. if in the near future i cant make to cam at all, due to my crazy schedule with kids, i would easily pull up 2000 usd a month only with videos. For now im averaging 1000 up to 1200 and thats because i upload videos everyday. if i can just work with clips and nothing else, i could make at least 500 more. I found my niche and its all about finding yours, Im sure once you do find it, you can make even more than 1000.

I was just wondering about the Giantess category? Is there anyone who mixes that fetish with financial domination or any of the other money fetishes? If you do not want to answer it here, you can PM me. Thanks.

It's hard starting now in femdom as it's so saturated the non-femdom categories may be best to start in. Within 2 months I went from $157 to $750 a month because I tried different categories and two of them worked well for me. Then 4 months later one of those died but another one started really selling. I did well on one category that looked really small because not many girls made clips for it but the guys wanting to buy were there. 2012 was a long time ago though, as camming has gone down more girls have turned to clips. Very successful studios have found their income declining. I've started in categories that were one thing but then developed into something else as studios have been able to get away with breaching the rules and taking business from the rest of us. For almost 2 years I haven't been able to film very much, sometimes just 1 or 2 clips a month but I have nearly 1,000 clips now and, except for one month, I always make more than my payout of $150. This month is going well for me so far...I've passed my payout already and I've only uploaded one clip in the past month. Having a lot of clips already up and in many different categories, helps.

I haven't tried it but you should definitely give it a go. I get customs for all sorts of mixed fetishes and that is one I imagine could work well. Don't worry about whether anyone else is already doing it...if they're not, so much the better.

I use macbook pro and store all files on Touro 4TB harddrive. I can't say if it's the best out of everything out there but I'm happy with it. Lots of storage for a reasonable price. I can also work in my video program with the raw files on the Touro without copying them over, without any glitches or slowing down. But depends on your computer power. Touro doesn't work that well using programs through it, only for files. I regret not getting more bytes on the computer, it only has room for final cut and photoshop and not much else. Sometimes there is not even room to store the current raw files to work without bringing the hard drive.
I also save the final clip versions and gifs on another old harddrive as extra backup. Always have at least two copies of important files. I wouldn't use cloud only.

I don't know how sales have been for the rest of you the past couple of days, but they have been unusually slow for Me. So slow that I was beginning to wonder if there was some kind of issue with C4S. And then I just got a email this morning from a regular customer of mine and he said he's been having problems buying my clips for the past few days. He described the problem and told me that he has contacted C4S support about it and he's waiting for a reply. Makes me wonder how many others might be having this same problem....

I have some clips on the cloud and I'm thinking of storing all my older clips there as I keep constantly having almost all my external hard drives fail. I don't know what the problem is, but having external drives just becomes a waste of money for me. I'm thinking of buying large SD cards as a double back up as those seem to be safer, I never had them fail on me.

The same happend to me, my sales are slow last days and about 3 days ago my regular contacted me, that when he tries to buy my new clip it goes to some last page and he can't buy the clip. I contacted support and they said that for them everything looks fine, and that the customer should contact them with screenshots, because maybe he's doing something wrong. Like...he's my regular he knows how to buy clips. I contacted him but he said he didn't contacted them since he was very busy. So right now i have no proof, and maybe there is a lot customers having this issue but they just don't bother contacting me or support, and i don't know if everything is right with my store...and for support as always everything is fine.

Just out of curiosity, was your customer in the USA or not? My regular that contacted me is from Europe.
Sales are back to normal for Me today. But I still wonder how many of My other regulars encountered the checkout issue as the one did.

Mine is from Switzerland.
I got a new response from support since my client gave me some more details. Here's what they said:
It is a problem with their e-mail provider.
Error is there, it just does not display on the check out page, have them contact us or suggest using a different e-mail until we resolve this issue.
So the issue is real, and we can't do anything about it since clients don't see any error...and like you I wonder how many customers have this issue and just gave up, and go looking for another store to buy clips, or just gave up at all. I am really mad since the first half of the month was really great for me, and I was hoping for the higher payout than usual, but it looks like I am gonna end up with nothing special since I don't know when this issue will be solved, and if it will be solved soon and my sales will be still crappy I will not know is it me, or is it the issue...

Interesting they say it is a problem with the customer's e-mail - I've had problem with support email correspondence for months now. Only the support e-mail, not with the staff's named mails, and not with any customer's mail either that I know of. Support say they can't see anything wrong, but mail won't go through between my mail and the general support mail. With some C4S issues, I've just given up.

People take payment in different ways but we are lot allowed to take it in tributes from the site. Make sure he pays before you make it and that he has explained everything that he wants before you set the price. Many times guys just get off on requesting a clip or add lots of extras after payment. You can use https://www.projectmaenad.com/ for delivering the clip and maybe taking payment too, or you can have them buy it from your store and charge for making the clip.

1-Does anyone know what’s happening with C4S and FirstChoicePay going down? Are they offering Paxum or any other option for international studios that isn’t cheque?
2-How often do you guys talk in your clips? I’m going to open a C4S store soon and although I know that once I get some practise, I will be good as but I’m a little nervous about talking. If I’m making armpit/bellybutton/foot fetish etc type of clips, can you get away with no talking?
Thank you :)

To answer question #2, all of them. When I started shooting clip years ago (before C4S), I didn't talk in my videos because it felt weird and also....what do you SAY??! I mean you are talking to a video camera! :P But I slowly began to say things and I got positive feedback from guys....they loved hearing my voice and just enjoyed that I was finally talking. That encouraged me to do more and the more you do something the more you feel comfortable.
Are you nervous because you feel like you don't know what to say/talk about or do you not like hearing your voice on camera?
Sure, you can get away with no talking, but I'd say talking is better. It can make your clips feel more personal and the guys more connected to you. Think about watching a clip with NO talking.....it's a little boring. One where a model is talking to the camera just feels more engaging.
Now that being said....there are 2 categories that come to mind that no talking is no big deal and that is IGNORE and VOYEUR.

Thanks so much for your response. My issue is that I just wouldn’t know what to say! I’m sure I would start getting more comfortable and knowing what to say but at the start it’s just a little hard, I’m exactly like you were at the start by the sounds of it.

You say what you think they want to hear. I'm used to camming and not seeing the other person, so making clips to me is just the same, that camera is the person watching me, they are part of the experience that I am creating and I am engaging with them (except when I'm not but that depends on the clip). So you're using your voice/words to create the atmosphere of the clip, what you want them to feel or think about. It's about the purpose of the clip and how you intend it to be experienced.

Is anyone else getting "500 internal server error" when clicking on the "Spring In to Sales" banner?

You say what you think they want to hear. I'm used to camming and not seeing the other person, so making clips to me is just the same, that camera is the person watching me, they are part of the experience that I am creating and I am engaging with them (except when I'm not but that depends on the clip).

Thank you so much for this, I have the same issue with Femdomme clips. I’m like...well how the hell do I start? Lol
I’m coming from pso work and of course with phone calls you can kinda gauge what the person likes in the beginning. But thinking of it like I’m a cam model makes a TON of sense.
