Hello Ladys I need an opinion. I will start a clips store with gfw, taboo, pov sex clips and I wonder if I should do that now or wait after new years? Christmas is coming and guys will spend money on gifts for family I think? So maybe it will be better to wait? Can anyone with more than two years of sales tell me if they experienced a decline in sales in the pre-holiday period?

You would think people would spend less but oddly, the opposite is true for me. December is usually my highest earning month. I guess people feel more generous during the giving season.

Same. Also must be the general atmos of the month too.

January/February are my dead months.

I decided to give IWC another go as it seems to be much better for discoverability and I want to build my brand.

I uploaded a couple (5? maybe?) video clips there last night and today when I logged on to update my C4S there's more than double the amount of views I normally get on there.

Have other people found this? When you upload a clip to one place, people go to another to find it, or suddenly become aware of you, or something? No more sales today than usual, but more hits...

Yes. I didn't get a couple last night. Then I got *one* after the new sales day began. And I just logged in and I see I've had more sales since that one I got, but no emails.

I got all my sales e-mails from yesterday but I've gotten 8 sales so far today and I've only gotten an e-mail for one of them. Since today is Thanksgiving I'm pretty sure the earliest this will get fixed is tomorrow.

Did you guys see the new sale they're doing. It seems needlessly complicated. 20% off your first order (the discount is taken from C4S's cut, not ours) this weekend and 10% off each additional order for new customers (whats to stop someone from starting a second account to get the 20% off and why can't everyone get it?) during this weekend. So does that mean that regular customers get 10% off or do they just get nothing? I can't tell. I sent a ticket in for clarification and will post when I get a response.

SFHS
11-26-2020, 05:31 PM
They got back to me, it's 20% off for all customers, not just new ones.

Most Decembers have been really good sales months for me. I had only one within the past 5 years that came in a bit below expectations.

C4S is running a promo until Monday November 30th 11:59pm PST. Verified users will get 20% off their first order and 10% off additional orders. This cut comes from the C4S side. All the user has to do is sign up for an account, verify his/her email, and the first purchase will have 20% off.
Verified users will automatically have 20% off the first order and 10% off additional orders.

If you have some favorite customers or want to promote this, we sent out a broadcast message and it's posted on our Twitter account if you need some images.

I found the wording confusing as well. I rewrote the promo banner a little bit to make it clearer, and left a space for people to add their own C4S URL or domain.

So far the promo's been a huge success!

Sales emails are STILL broken, there was an announcement two days ago but it isn't fixed and if I remember right they said they're having trouble with their site. Sales have been down for me this month overall. But I'm still not posting enough so hard to say if it isn't me. The notifications really mess with my tracking my earnings since I have several inactive stores that I still make sales on and it is hard for me to count everything up >(

Not receiving sales emails either, so I logged on to the site and there's a bunch of messages about it.

They must be doing something in their back end for this to be happening though. Maybe something good is coming?

It could be they're overwhelmed by volume right now. C4S rarely has sales so people have taken interest.

Regarding new features, has anyone seen the customer account area? People can stream videos in it now, says it's in beta.

One thing I DON'T like..other people's content is right next to your video.
Often, it's not even that closely related. Someone in to maledom content isn't going to want to click on something femdom just because both are in mixed fighting, and vice versa. (which is what's shown above)
Related tag/category links also go to the main site searches primarily and not your store.

IMO we should have some influence over what shows up there, and have the option to set our own related vids.
Stuff that might be parts of a series, stuff with the same models. ACTUALLY related videos since things get miscategorized all the time.
We know our customers and can choose things they are more likely to buy, compared to broad simple "related" category listings.
Plenty out there also have multiple stores they might like to have linked together in features like that, or partnerships and cross promotions with other stores.

I had a sales tweet pop up on my twitter - for a 'big clip order' so there were a few sales - but I checked the sales page just now an cannot see it on the day/time that tweet came out. I emailed them, but I wonder if they're having trouble tracking sales when they're getting more now? Or, something? Something is wrong.

Hey Raven @ C4S......do you think an option to search by email address can ever be an option? Some customers don't have usernames but do have email addresses. It's nice to see if a customer is a repeat buyer or not.

Hey everyone! I apologize if this has been asked before - I'm in the process of reading the thread in it's entirety, but I haven't made it all the way through yet.

Can anyone tell me how many of the studios are able to show GIFS on their stores? The only options I have are to allow previews or use the GIFS c4s makes you (the slideshow of stills). I created a gif but it only allowed me to upload it as a preview, so the first photo you see before you click preview is still the first still of the clip (which is my contact info lol). Some studios have just a gif with no stills or previews, and that's what I'd really really like :)

On this page: https://admin.clips4sale.com/clips

Next to IMAGE NAME there is a drop down box to choose a file (in this case GIF) that you uploaded. I suppose the use of the word IMAGE instead of GIF might throw some off, but that is where you choose the file/image/gif that you want to display.

What is the file extension on your gif? Is it indeed .gif? I ask because you said it only allowed you to upload it to preview and not image and the only reason I can think of that happening is if you tried to upload a non-image (.mp4...for example) item using the UPLOAD CLIP IMAGES option.

Also, our stores all display the very first FRAME of any .gifs we have uploaded, as a still image, until you scroll down.

Well is there any way they can work on refining the Search Sales By Customer Name? I will type in M C (for example) and all of the search results that come up are T C, C C, D C, etc...but *no* M C even though I have had sales with customers with those initials.

@Raven_C4S was the sale extended? Originally it said Nov 30th now it looks like Dec 1st at 11:59pm?

If so, that's great! But I want to make sure before making the final push to fans.

Ahh, thank you so much! You are right on all accounts - the use of the word image throwing me off, and trying to upload as an mp4. I've got it all straightened out now :)

For some reason, my store is still showing the first frame of the video though, instead of the first frame of the gif (which I want). The first frame in each video is just a slide with my email for custom requests, so scrolling down my page, the only thing you see until the gifs load is a bunch of squares with my email address lol. My gifs do not have this slide in them, only the videos. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Tbh I was ignoring my sales bc I haven't posted any new clips since early last month. Had some sporadic emails. Checked today and lmao. So I counted and I received 44 sales emails. I actually made 75 sales this month. So missing 31 emails.
Eh, all things considered it was a nice surprise on a rainy, gloomy day. Wasn't expecting much at all this month due to my lack of new material but it looks like the promo helped? Didn't break any records but had some big orders (along with the phantom sales) to have a respectable total for the month!

Hmm.... So did you go back and upload .gifs and then select the files next to Image name in the drop down box *AND* remember to remove them from the Upload Preview option? It sounds like a setting might not have been changed?

Alright, I have a question I'm sure someone can answer: How many formats are you allowed to post on c4s under one studio? Like could I post a clip in mp4 in one category and a wmv in another category under the same studio? I know the rules changed a while back and I don't want to violate them.
Thanks!

I think it two formats and two sizes (so 4 altogether, EXAMPLE: MP4 1080 and 720 and WMV 1080 and 720).

Not strictly C4S related but need help fast and you ladies always have advice :)
For 3 years or so I've had Indiebill and LiveCamModelsShows as my payment service for customs. Both worked great. (had two because the occasional customer was rejected to buy overseas.) 2 months ago Indiebill retired. And now, my link on LCMS is gone, my name is nowhere on the site. They promise to answer emails within 24h - that's long gone, no reply to several mails. Anyone have insight?

I only do customs atm and have customers waiting. They are not likely to stick around for long.

So, need a new payment site/service without complicated page designs to set up. Anyone you recommend?
(In the beginning I accepted gift cards but I don't like it for many reasons)

I've sold a custom or two through IWC, it's nice to have the option even though my clips don't sell at all on that site. They add about 40% on the price though, and since I have already agreed on the price with these customers it would be giving a hefty part to IWC. I would to keep the customers for now but it's not sustainable to send people there from C4S.

Wow. I soooo wish I had known earlier, just found the thread about it (didn't think of searching the cam section as I don't cam) My last payment is yet to come, and also one from June is missing! (I get dozens of samey amounts that my bank labels the same, so had mistaken another payout for that one.)

It makes me so mad there's been problems for that long with site being up and zero communication. If my link wasn't suddenly dead I would have happily sent a few more customers there to pay me money I might never see! And with no response to any e-mails I will never see the missing money I guess.
