They are really limiting our money by not allowing on-site interaction and having a way to order custom videos. I'm always puzzled about that and C4S never have given any answer as to why not that makes any sense. I'm sure some would try to take outside payment for clips but really think the profits for c4s would skyrocket and make up for it way more than anything that could be lost if we had a custom order form and took payment through c4s.

Don't know what genre of clips you make, or if you're friends/coworkers with others who make clips as well, but for the type of clips I sometimes buy, they advertise mostly on twitter (about customs in particular) when several girls will be in the same city for a couple days or whatever. Sometimes IG, but mostly twitter. Definitely some more legwork for the models/producers, but it is what it is. Onlyfans too of course. One platform is never enough.

Hi is it recommended to space out your MP4 and WMV or have them together?

Like...in the order:

P1 MP4
P2 MP4
P1 WMV
P2 WMV

vs

P1 MP4
P2 MP4
(other videos in between)
3 months later...and cycle the past videos
P1 WMV
P2 WMV

I just started my clipstore and I don't have many videos...

I space mine out a bit, usually a couple weeks to a month, but what I think is more important is that I change the "Display Order" field to 999 instead of 0 when I post wmv files or lower resolution clips. That way, if I post a clip the maximum of four versions, only one gets posted at the top of my store page, and the others go to the end (or, once a person has an enormous number of clips, somewhere in the middle)

That way, if someone is browsing my studio page, they see a good variety of clips, instead of seeing duplicates, but I can still have my clips appear in multiple relevant categories. Hope my description makes sense!

AllieRabbits
08-01-2022, 02:56 PM
Ahh so that's what display order means. So if it's 0 it's sent to the front. That makes sense, thanks! I do think it's a great idea to not make everything seem repetitive!
Thx!

Does being in top 50 of a category provide extra traffic? I heard from someone that staying in top 50 is easier than getting in... Is it true?

^ Yes being in the top 50 of a category gives you more exposure. As far as it being easier to stay in a category, it really depends. Some categories have more studios updating frequently, so it might be harder to gain traction.

Most all of us are on multiple platforms. That's not the issue I was talking about at all.

The Clips4sale platform is wasting the opportunity to make more money both for them and for us by providing an order form and a way to pay through the site. Any time you try to move a client to another payment service you will lose many of them. When a site makes it easy to order and pay profits will increase.

That is a good point, it looks better for variety and visual appeal, but I put mine all together so customers can choose what format they prefer if they're browsing my store. They can easily see I have thousands of clips if they use the search or category feature on my store

Yeah, there's an argument for each approach for certain!

I wish it were easier to do a/b testing. For my own store, I know I have a few different audiences with different tastes, and so I don't ever want someone to look at my most recent 10 clips and think, "oh, it's all x and y, there's none of the z that I'm looking for." I suspect that if I separated out and made a studio for each niche, your approach would be more likely to be ideal for me... but without posting the same clips in multiple studios so that I could compare results, I suppose I'll never know for sure!

Yeah I have two separate stores, one for Fetish/Vanilla/Femsub and one for Femdom. I used to mix them, but I have so much content why not maintain a mood and have them separate? There's so many ways of doing things but you're right, it is hard to test, just trial and error by experience really.

If you have categories that sell much better than others, it can be worth making a separate store for them.

Also useful to set separate stores for categories that some may find distasteful. Although all these guys have fetishes, they do find some others weird or disgusting (I don't think they consider that some guys find their fetish weird or disgusting), so ones that pay well but could be really off putting to some of your customers, could be better placed into a store of their own.

How exactly does top 50 studio (within a category) work? It changes often so I'm starting to think it is 168 hour instead of 7 day blocks...

I notice some stores so volatile and drop/go up 10/20 ranks and some stay exactly where they are for days...

I had some bad sales in the past few days but my rank went up instead... So did everyone in my category do badly? Hm.

Also how predicable are your sales, by that is if fairly consistent and can some kind of pattern be found? I've heard from people in my category that they usually make inconsistent amounts daily, like I'm taking about 200/300 a day, and then no / low sales for days. So far my store has been more consistent than I could expect from reading others' experience. And the unpredictable part, many claim that the high and lows aren't predictable whether the video is good/bad, the time of upload, and if a new update has been posted on the day or not. I upload once every 2 days and I've found a clear pattern that the second day (without a video uploaded) makes around 30-40% of a day when I do upload and get featured. And hits are most consistent... 500 (+- 10) on day of uploading and 375 (+- 20) 2nd day, no uploading.

But I've only had for a week so data may not be the most accurate.

Yep! I don't think the trade-offs would be worth it for me, though. Too many of my clips combine categories, I have a few too many customers who like it all, but mostly, I just don't think I have time to keep up with updating more than one. If I start creating in a new niche that seems totally unrelated then I might reconsider, but I think I'd have to recalibrate how much time I spend on each platform.

Any time you try to move a client to another payment service you will lose many of them. When a site makes it easy to order and pay profits will increase.

C4S is good because it can provide mass sales. I would suspect that they'd be taking on a lot of risk with chargebacks for something to be delivered to one customer. What happens when the girl/studio doesn't deliver the custom? And will they lose that customer across all studios if they have one bad experience with a custom? This is quite common on OF for example, half the time the clip doesn't get created until the customer complains to customer service. Plus lots of people (most, since most are running on limited customer bases) will want to go to another platform anyway so they don't lose out on 40% of the revenue.

I'm sure people at C4S have considered this and decided against it either for business reasons or just not enough developer bandwidth to put together a custom-ordering platform.

justsometwat
08-06-2022, 01:04 PM
If they did it anything like Iwantclips or manyvids they wouldn't pay the model until the custom had been delivered. This is why the custom is ordered and delivered via form rather than through tribute. It is a risk to send a tribute to pay for a custom since the model gets it immediately and sites have tos staying that tips/tributes are considered gifts rather than payment for services/goods.

Honestly, if you're ordering custom content from models that aren't delivering then you're choosing the wrong models to order from. A good model wants repeat business not to rip people off.

arkaim4
08-06-2022, 01:28 PM
Blaming the customer is bad practice. There are lots of scammers out there. Anyway, having a system where c4s holds onto the money until delivery is the right approach, but non-trivial. If things never get delivered, do they refund the customer (and pay CC fees etc.) or try to scam the customer with "store credit?" Pretty similar question to the chargeback scenario I mentioned. Do they only allow models to make a few customs at once until they earn trust and prove c4s likely won't have to deal with refunds very often? There are many business questions that will go into this. Now none of us work at c4s, so we can't say what the reason is they don't implement this, but I'd be shocked if they'd never considered it and come up with a reason not to do it. Could simply be they're making boatloads off of top clip producers and are happy with it, don't want to risk losing top customers who have a bad experience with a custom. For some people, a bad experience could even be "my money was held onto for X months before they refunded because the model never created the clip, I don't want to waste my time with any of their studios ever again."

I'm confused, why are you offering advice to people who have experience selling on multiple platforms and have knowledge about how the features compare? You say here you don't work at C4S, and I think you said earlier that you aren't a producer, so I'm wondering about the source of your expertise.

C4S had also said they wanted to implement a custom video option, though I cannot remember if it was before or after they had been bought.

I said I'd be shocked if c4s hadn't considered a customs system and decided against it or deprioritized it for some reason that only insiders would know. I didn't give advice, I described what several models I know personally do. I sometimes produce videos, but not on c4s. I've been in and filmed videos for girls who do sell on c4s, and know several models/producers well who sell there and elsewhere, and know what mechanisms they use for advertising/selling customs. I've worked in tech and know the types of questions that come up and why these sorts of things get deprioritized when they hear large feature requests like this. ("Work at c4s" = build out their tech systems, website, are involved in their business decisions, etc., I am not referring to simply selling videos on their platform.)

The Top 50 studios in a category are ranked by the amount of money you've made in that category in the last 7 days.

A studio can jump up if they posted a new clip to that category and it's selling well, if a customer (or customers) just recently bought a bunch of clips in that category or perhaps if they had an expensive clip in that category recently sell.

If you had a few slow sales days in a category and you went up, yes, I'd assume that those ranked higher probably had slower sales than you.

My hits are consistently showing as lower than they had been before stats were taken offline, but my sales are better than they were at that point.

I also notice that they no longer show internal traffic in the same way, which is a pity- I liked knowing which category pages people were finding me through. They weren't always the categories where I'd get the most sales, so it was a helpful hint that I should keep using those categories for visibility.

I hope internal traffic data gets it's own sub-section soon.
C4S should be hammering how valuable their onsite traffic and discovery are. It's something that Onlyfans or other competitors don't offer to the same degree (or at all!).

I've actually suggested internal traffic breakdown a few days ago and support said they took note of it. Hope it will actually happen. I guess if enough people suggest it they may try to add it.

Do your hits also show up instantly as 40/50 when the day resets at 12AM? I've noticed and it's weird, no way it gets 50 views in a minute, maybe it's a glitch or was some unregistered ones from previous day?

I've been hesitant to mention this because I don't know if other clip producers would care about such a thing or not but..... I found out, kind of by fluke, that C4S is making 30 second previews, with audio, of our content and posting these previews on Tube sites. The previews link directly back to C4S but on a subdomain of the C4S site. I'm assuming they are doing this as a way to advertise and get/drive more traffic to our stores but with previews they've created of our content (without our consent or knowledge). Which some people might not care, but I like to have control over what parts of a clip a customer gets to see before they purchase it.

Since this is a public forum that can be read by customers/fans/non-clip producers, I won't post the site here, just DM me if you want. Or go search the Referring Sites in the STATS section of the admin. The site starts with a P and is 8 letters long. Go to the site and type in your performer/store name and see what comes up.

I noticed that site when referring sites came back online, and poked around long enough to come to the same conclusion you did about C4S using it for promotion. For mine, it appears to show only the first frame of my gifs- not even the gifs themselves. If I click anything, I'm just redirected to the C4S subdomain. Do you mind saying where you're seeing the 30 second previews?

It's making me angry since I make my gifs and previews by myself, and I am very careful with that because I want to give my customers just a little bit to tease them and make them buy the clip, and when I have no control over it now a lot of the times they give customers the best bits from my clips for free. Not to mention I geo-blocked my store for my country. I know they are internet extensions changing your IP, but still, I felt more safe using that, and now for this site geo-blocking is not working and everybody from my country can easily access my store and see the previews that I didn't choose.

Exactly. And I'm hoping more clip producers are also upset about this. I don't recall us giving them consent to do this. Because we upload to their site, is THAT consent? So they get a 40% cut AND the right to do what they want with our content?

I found out, kind of by fluke, that C4S is making 30 second previews, with audio, of our content and posting these previews on Tube sites. The previews link directly back to C4S but on a subdomain of the C4S site. I'm assuming they are doing this as a way to advertise and get/drive more traffic to our stores but with previews they've created of our content (without our consent or knowledge). Which some people might not care, but I like to have control over what parts of a clip a customer gets to see before they purchase it.

Since this is a public forum that can be read by customers/fans/non-clip producers, I won't post the site here, just DM me if you want. Or go search the Referring Sites in the STATS section of the admin. The site starts with a P and is 8 letters long. Go to the site and type in your performer/store name and see what comes up. The URL will be _.clips4sale.com.

Yes I have been pestering there support over this for weeks now. Seems they started auto generating previews for our stuff back around March 2022 and using them on that mobile landing site. The auto generated previews have sound and will even show the "money shots" some times. SO ANNOYING that people can get the good parts for free especially if its a video related to a clothing fetish or some thing.

Are you all seeing the previews when you click on the image? When I click on the image, it just shows the gif that I created. Or am I missing something. I don't usually post previews at all on clips4sale though. But they shouldn't make the previews-that's really shady.

I browsed thru this "new page" and it seems the previews are generated by them only if you made a preview for your clip by yourself ( so instead of your preview they use their preview) if you don't have a preview for your clip it will show only a gif. At least I think it works this way after looking at a few of my clips

Ok since we started talking about this whole situation, one more thing...So after learning about these two sites they use, when I contacted support I asked them if there is a way to remove my clips from these sites ( since I am fine with less traffic and even fewer sales but I don't want to be involved with some weird sites that are not supporting geo-blocking, and the sites that I even didn't choose to be on). The support replied that they will remove me from there. I totally forgot about it since I focused my anger on this new c4s landing page with previews. So...Now I checked the site they use to bring traffic (the site starts with a letter I) and my clips are gone from there. Except for one clip. And when you click it, it's not even redirecting you to a clips4sale page, it's redirecting to some other weird tube site where my whole clip is posted. Yes. A whole clip. WTF. I am now waiting for their response. I don't understand it. Either c4s posted my whole clip there or the site that they are using for bringing traffic allows pirated content and some guy posted it here.

I'm pretty sure it's pirated content, one of my full length videos was there and wasn't linked back to my page. It was one that had previously been pirated. Stupid that they post on a site that also hosts pirated content. They don't wanna make money?

So its wonky...if you go back to clips posted between like March - May 2022 it will show there auto generated one no matter what.

When I complained in July I noticed it switched to selected your gif.

Part of me thinks the real reason that stats were not working is they didn't want the stores to see the traffic coming from these places.

Hmm....none of this sounds good. I wonder why they would do this? And yeah it was pretty weird the stats weren't working for so long...

And that's what I was thinking :-\ Using this sites is like supporting pirated content for me. Really not cool.

Yep that was strange. I called support about it but they said it is legit. It seems C4S uses some "tube sites" to promote their content. It seems like putting in keywords and categories lead to this. I see that my keywords are being used to sort my content into their respectable tube site categories.

Also some sites appear to have your clips but they are scam sites that just take the description and preview. A scam Site claims to have a clip that I never sold...

Also is this 2nd half of the month/middle slow for anyone else? I've read some older commentary here and it seems to be the case. I started on late July and up to the middle of the month it was consistently good and now I'm getting half hits and bad sales... Coincidentally that is also when the new logo and the global rank glitch came, hope it's not affecting anything.

Apparently, medical oxygen masks are now considered "drug paraphernalia". So there goes medical fetish category.

I've found tons of my clips pirated lately. And some of them on the sites where C4S promotes with previews. If they are going to use sites this way, at least check them for content pirated from their site. Sigh.
