first 9 days in May - earned $270
first 9 days in June - earned $45
WTF?
I am actually a bit surprised about May. My store (audio only) died for a couple months there. I just gave up on releasing new stuff because nothing was moving.

I was in the top 5 in my category and got down to 28 in a month.

I made 1/2 as much this month as last month. One day my hits were twice as many as my next best day in terms of hits? Guess no one liked my content this month :P
Can't wait for this month to be over!

My hits are way down - 10% of this time last month!! My monthly traffic graph looks like a mountain on the left and a couple of tiny hillocks on the right, with a big slide in the middle.

I had two large clip orders that helped make up for the lack of individual sales but missed my payout by a few cents...trying to get back into filming again now but wondering if something has happened with this platform.

But at the same time my sales are going up at Iwantclips.
I never sold that much in 3 months together as I did in June over there.
Very strange. It's a shame they don't have the same %payout, so I have to sell them at a way more higher price on there.

Girls, did you ever had problems with taking down your clips from youtube? I always use c4s DMCA system, and for example, removing my clips from pornhub is very fast. So I thought, it's youtube there shouldn't be a problem...since I don't think fetish clips should be on that site. But, well...I reported my clips at the beginning of April, and on May when I saw there are still on the site, I reported it again ( since that what c4s recommended me to do), now it's July and my clips are still on youtube and that idiot who uploaded them just added some new ones :/ I am really pissed off, I don't care my clips being on some weird small sites that no one knows, but youtube is a no for me. That's too much.So, is there any of you waited so long for removing your clips?

My iwc did really well this month, lots of new names buying my stuff. This month was really odd.

Yes, Google had a BIG tendency to ignore our DMCA's coming from 3rd parties (whether it was C4S or Pornguardian), and would only take down if I filled out the forms myself.
Use Youtube's DMCA form directly but be aware the name you put in is the name it will show as "removed by request of X".
You can additionally flag it for "inappropriate content" or "spam" and see if the bot takes it down quicker that way. Content violation takedowns tend to happen within 3 days where even a first party DMCA can take over a week.

That's why I am using c4s to remove my clips because there is no way I am giving them my name. That's fucked up. It's like giving all of your data's to a thief. What is it, some kind of punishment for fighting with piracy?
I am wondering if something could happen if I will just give them some fake name, I am from Europe so who's gonna check that? Unless they also demand to show them my ID...Which would be crazy.

Well, all of the fetishes where you don't show any nudity. My clips that are there are foot fetish and giantess, but in some of them I also humiliate guys, and as we can see for youtube that's fine ;) I get that when I am not showing any nudity, and some of my clips are just basically me sitting with my bare feet and talking about them, it can look innocent but still like you said it's supposed to be a family-friendly platform, and with my clips, even without nudity you can feel the clear message, that this clip is for guys to jerk off. The should remove them immediately, after a sign that the clips are from a fetish site.
I saw a lot of clips from c4s on yt. My friends fart clips for example. Also, some clips with all of the "innocent" fetishes like socks, shoes, eating, lip fetish etc

Absolutely give them a fake name, and a post office box or fake but believable address (if it's a required field). It won't be called in to question unless the pirate challenges the takedown. That almost never happens because they won't risk getting exposed themselves.
You could always say it's a person working on your behalf to take down piracy.

Same here with IWC. This year I've already made almost the same amount that I made in ALL of 2019. But I'm also uploading consistently more content so maybe that's why lol.
June was very good for me on C4S. I've definitely noticed these stay-at-home orders have increased my sales.

Maybe it's because of VAT now being added to C4S clips? I think for some customers, the clips are now cheaper on IWC even if you price them the same on C4S.
I upload on IWC since a couple months but for me sales have been super slow. I don't find the site as enjoyable either since you can't see all the stats C4S provides both on backend and for customers. For example, you can post a clip in two categories but if it sells you won't know from which category the customer bought it. Which is so annoying imo.

OK, now I'm not getting them.
I also haven't been getting sales e-mails since over a month now. Did you start getting them?
AlyssaJ
07-04-2020, 09:05 AM
It's been 16 hours since I posted a clip and it still doesn't display in its category. After studio support contact it's shows in my store, but still not in its category. They said they would "try" to manually fix it, that was hours ago. Anyone else had this problem this long? Did it resolve? If not, that clip is pretty much wasted since I'm far down the list of updates in that category.
Update: It is now showing, 18 hours and two support chats later.

A couple of hours later they started coming in normally again.

So...Last month turned out to be quite good for me. But this month is...meh. My stats are weirdly low, even with daily updates, and I earned 20$ so far. Wtf :banghead: How about you?
And also did you received your payout? I use wire bank transfer, and I am from Europe. Usually, I get my payout on the 3rd, so I thought I will get it last Friday. But it's Monday 6th and still have no money.

July has been decent for me so far. I get paid by check (I'm in the US) and usually don't get it untill the 7th at the earliest. Also remember that there might be a delay because of the July 4th holiday.

But if you're an underaged fetishist, well, isn't that the site for you, stolen content and all...

I received my payout already.
The sales numbers dropping is a bad sign, I am in the same boat as you on this one.

I just got mine ;) So I was panicking, as always with everything :DI really hope I will get some customs soon, that would really help when the sales are so low... Because still, nothing changed, 0 sales at night and I hoped to wake up to some sales
:mad:
I know you can't judge the month because of it's beginning, since here everything can change really fast, it can pick up even at the end of the month. But the bad start always frustrates me, and now I am worried because of the low hits in my store.

Did anyone else get an email for loyal fans from someone claiming to be rooted in c4s? Is it their way of trying to get in on the OF action or just another scammer? I didn’t hit any of the links, but because they name dropped C4s multiple times it did catch my eye...

Maybe it's any animal?? Speaking of banned words, my studio name had a word that's now *supposedly* banned. It was auto changed a while ago. Then I saw a new studio with the same "banned" word in the name (and throughout the studio). I contacted support basically saying that if that studio's name had been approved then I'd respectfully ask that mine be changed back to the original. It was treated as reporting a violation. Neither their studio nor mine has been changed.
Tbh it hasn't affected my sales (the name change) I'm just annoyed.

idk about that - Ive already this month made what I did in June & combined my income has sky rocketted - had my two highest earning weeks ever in the past 4 weeks - just about adapting and finding new ways to make the money imo - not to mention I'm hearing the same from several that while their C4S sales are down their other clipsites are up sales wise

Great for you! Get while the getting is good too many desperate people in a country where the money is crashing for everyone for this to last.
yeah Ive been putting away savings more than usual in case, from what I gather things in america are much worse than here in the UK mind. not that we wont feel the brunt but its good advice for people to save a nest & look into different avenues and expand to keep afloat.

That makes sense I guess we aren't allowed to talk about them now. Also since it's a racial slur so I get that ,but I just never saw it on the list before. An update on it from support would be nice.
Women flooding the market, men running out of money with unemployment about to end,

Yeah, I will say this year has been very up and down, 2 of my lowest ever months, 2 of my highest ever, one of which was June (not even counting the 1K I did in customs). It's all evening out in the end.
Imo, we offer an escape from the stress of everything going on. Guys will still spend. Don't immediately freak out over a slow spell. :)))

And plenty of white collar upper middle class guys were or are still working from home. Cooped up, nowhere to go, not much to do, maybe the fam is driving them a bit crazy...
I feel like the quarantine hasn't hurt me and may very well have helped?
BUT I do think everyone has inexplicable slow times and unless I ever hit like, 3 months of being slow i just chill, keep at it and wait it out. I mean even tho June was very good for me i had 2 Saturdays with zero sales lmao. Idk I've stopped stressing about occasional slow spells.

Home working is likely to be here to stay for some while. Yes there is going to be huge unemployment when furlough ends but many will remain home working and many of those will be ones in higher incomes who can work from home. We just have to see how it all shakes down but it may not be all doom and gloom.

27 hours?!! What is the file size? If you mean compress clips down from the original file size, YES, absolutely. My video editing program does that, but I know other ones have been discussed on here before. I want to say Handbrake?? But not sure....

Yes I compress my clips and I think everybody does that :O
The original file size from my cam is always really big, I edit my clips in movavi video editor first and after that, I make them smaller in size using Any video converter (it's free). It makes the files noticeably smaller, and I don't see deterioration if it comes to quality of the clip ;)
If I would try upload original files to c4s it would take hours for sure even with my quite good internet.

Definitely compress your files with Handbrake, but still, even with a huge file it should not take that long, wow. What does your upload speed show on a speedtest?
If I were you I'd buy a mobile hotspot or see if you can tether your cell phone. I bet your upload would be way faster. I've even cammed on Streamate when my internet was down by connecting my computer to my T-mobile cellphone's wifi hotspot and had pretty good placement and no connection issues.
