Wow, is there someone outside the US and Canada, who has c4s store? Is it possible to be paid by check if you live elsewhere, because it wants a social security number, which I don't have? And the only other possible way is wire transfer, which has 45$ fee just for the transfer wtf
I don't think I'll ever make any money there. If my only option is that transfer I think I'll just shut the store.

I'm in the UK and get paid by cheque...I didn't have to give any kind of social security number, I think that's just for the guys who live in the US.

So... Just got approved for a store... and the directions on the site are kinda confusing... Lots of reading, and my eyeballs are exhausted-
I can just make videos of anything???? :D And then upload them... and the one thing I did get from the directions is that you have to have 10 videos before your store is live?

delilahd
03-11-2013, 12:39 PM
Caitir, that is pretty much it. Make sure when you upload them your description is detailed and sexy. Make whatever you want to start and let your sales and customers determine what you make more off

Good luck

How good is the quality of your clips? I feel like I am spending 1 entire day on a clip. Thinking up what 2 say in the video then filming on a HQ DSLR Camera, self shooting takes ages, then editing takes another few hours. All for a 5 minute clip = about 5 hrs work. Good quality clips. HD big resolution... and no sales. Im wondering if shooting a 2minute clip of absolute fucking crap on a fucking iphone will do better? I really dont know because I have stalked every other clips4sale store and they make out in the description that its the best movieclip ever and that it's HD and super fucking hot ect ect but then I watch the same peoples 'teaser clips' on youtube and it is filmed on a bad quality webcam with shit sound, but then i see shes in the top studio for that section.. I am missing something? I thought guys woud prefer quality over quantity.

Also I've notice the most top selling studios are 'professional' studios with paid actresses and many people involved in the creation. How can a 1 girl in a bedroom with a webcam ever top that?

Classy_Katy
03-11-2013, 02:30 PM
Annie, I was showing my partner yesterday some girls gifs that were just so professionally done there was no way I could ever compete...but he reminded me that many guys actually want the girl-next-door amateur thing, which is true. Those studios are earning vast amounts and I know I won't be able to match it, I just do the best I can and what I enjoy.

I see bad quality clips sell too, if it gives them what they want to see I think they will put up with lesser quality but it's so hard to know. I think we should aim for the best quality...I use my c920 on it's max setting so I can provide HD clips, and I also use a separate HD mic, which is great so long as I'm facing it.

Recording doesn't take me too long depending on how much setting up I need to do, but the editing, formatting, uploading, writing the description etc takes time...that's when doing paid only chat on AW comes in handy because I can do that while I wait for a show.

I just feel like "why the fuck aren't they buying my shit?" i read this entire thread and every other fetish clip thread and spent weeks looking at other girls stores. It's not like im ugly, I'm a pretty young *teen* (ok im 28 but i look eighteen). I spent hours writing the scripts to make sure they weren't a copy of any1 elses. then i filmed with my professional lighting kit and the highest quality possible. spent ages on the description and preview images. spent hours advertising on twitter tumblr and fetish forums (ive got about 10 profiles to forums now) and i am getting visits but no sales. the only clips i sold were ones that had only my feet in, no scripts, no effort, just feet, doing nothing. i feel like why the fuck should i bother making an effort if these losers only buy crap? and now im gonna go take my IPHONE and film 50 grainy shitly sized videos of my fucking feet.. i will get back to y'all on the outcome of this...

Has somebody noticed changes in c4s traffic? Normally when i uploaded about 3 different clips per day I got 800-1200 hits per day but last month uploading 3 or even ore clips i get only 200-400 hits

Are you uploading into really busy categories? Some of them completely fill up in a day, so it's harder to get noticed.

TeenageAnnie
03-12-2013, 01:29 PM
The categories I've done are footfetish, pantyhose, ironing, makeup, hairbrushing, extreme closeups, panty fetish, lingerie, ignore, bathtub, cleaning, finger fetish and a few more. I am on the first page for a while in some of them and I got each 1 in multiple categories. I have 46 total clips. First week i had only 10 clips and I got more hits that week than any other week. I think sometimes the site doesnt work, I've noticed my previews do nothing when clicked sometimes. And I'm noticing my stats page says most of my hits came from a page called "Bookmarks" and Im not sure what that is. Today I've uploaded 2 clips and I have only 2 hits from "http://www.clips4sale.com/do/list" which I assume is the front page. 2 hits and I'm on the first page for hours now. I think the traffic to this site is over hyped, even though it says they get 265,252 hits a day on freewebsitereport.org. Today's Total Clip Site Hits 16 <- meh

Le sigh. So I just uploaded 2 clips to extralunchmoney. I had a profile there for ages but never added anything. Already both videos ave 22 hits each after 5 minutes. I mean wtf.. this is a site that the internet says gets 10k hits aday compared to c4s with its 250k viewers and yet ELM already provided me with more hits. Why am I paying 40% to c4s if they arent bringing me traffic? WHY should i have 2 advertise 24/7 on my own, I could as well create my own domain and keep all the money (aside from obvious fee's)...... seriously, what am I paying these goons for?

The 'bookmarks' stat is how many new people have bookmarked your site that day. I definitely know how you feel, though. It took me a few months of constant updating to figure out which videos were going to be consistent money makers for me. I have some categories that always sell for me, some that used to sell but don't sell so well now for whatever reason (saturation, guys wanting different types of clips, etc.). I update most in whatever sells well, and try new things throughout the month. Sometimes the clip I filmed on impulse and threw online with barely a cut or edit sells much better than the femdom clip with the script that I spent 2 hours filming. It's infuriating, but if you keep at it, and update every day, I'm sure you'll find a lot of things that sell for you.

What is the maximum file upload on c4s?

TeenageAnnie
03-13-2013, 07:01 AM
thanks maryjayne. the thing is I am trying to figure out which 'niche' i am but when my clips havent sold for 3 weeks (not a damn clip) i am finding it hard, if none of them sells it would appear that none of them are my niche... i sold a total of 12 videos, all in the same first week. they were all of diferent categories and they were all bought by 3 guys. so thats only 3 guys bought my clips and they did not send feedback. in the camming world my niche was that i looked 12 years old and all the dirty old paedos followed me. i was trying to get away from that niche as it made me sick, i did not do it on purpose it just happened because i cannot help the way i look. i am thinking on c4s that perhaps the dominatrix style clips sell well. ive seen a lot of 'loser' clips and findoms. this is not something im too interested in but i may go ahead and make a clip and see what happens.

I shoot my clips with either my HD webcam in 1280x720 or my HD camcorder, which is 1920x1080. The camcorder quality is fantastic but the files are super huge so after I edit those clips I save them as 1280x720. I also run them through Handbrake to compress them. The end result is not as good as the original file, but I have gotten several compliments on the quality of those videos.

My store is a month old and I am still working on figuring out all my niches and what will sell. I decided when I started to give myself 6 months to really start making money. Sales have been steady, and I have been lucky that because I have gotten quite a bit of feedback and requests/suggestions from my customers. I am also getting a lot of custom requests but so far no one wants to pay my custom rates. I refuse to lower them.

I usually only make clips shot from one angle (with the exception of custom clips). Sitting or standing in front of my desk. I also shoot some clips in my bathroom because the lighting is amazing in there. My best selling clips also have no talking in them.

The biggest piece of advice that I’ve seen from people with successful stores is be consistent. That’s what I’m trying to do.

I have just tried to open a store, waiting on approval. I actually am in UK with uk accounts but do have US one... now thinking might be cheaper to get paid into US account than large charges for converting US dollar cheques to UK bank accounts.... Anyone know if I can put US account when I am in UK. Doesn't help it's in the wrong name my US account (needs updating still back to my maiden name....) oh god so much to do so little time. And I need to make more vids
Haven't got enough for store opening!!!

Looks like you doing everything right, its so weird that you don't have sells.
Maybe you can send me a link in Pm, i will try to analyze whats wrong.
One of the things that come to my mind, is that they prefer "milf" than teens.

When I first joined in 2010 I uploaded videos without any intentions or idea of sales or market. If you can beleive it, I never even looked on c4s to see what was selling or all the categories. I shot a few videos of things I and my webcam guests enjoyed and filmed it POV. Then joined c4s and put it up for sale. I think I had my first clip made 2 weeks before I even got around to posting it.
I never did it for the money. I did it to add variety to my worrk, to what back then was all day on webcam.
You can market your videos all you want, you can use the best camera you have, you can render and reformat all you want, but if you are not enjoying and/or a great actress at faking enjoyment lol it will show. It will show on your images, it will show on your previews, and if they do buy it, it will certainly reveal to them that a) you aren't into it b) your too nervous c) you are only doing it for the money
My expectations only fall on myself, I feel the same for all the places I work, c4s is a platform/marketplace for me to sell my videos on. The rest is up to me.

I decided to give c4s a rest because it was making me upset and depressed. it took a lot of my time and energy. i am a very god actress and my clips were very believable, they had sound, face, body, nudity, HD quality, everything. well dressed storefront, a twitter account with 1700 followers (from camming) but still only was getting 16hits per 24hours. (if that). 46 clips in the store. it took me a long time 2 make that. igot a top5 sellers list so that the store looked popular too. i just dont know. perhaps it is because i am a teen and not a milf.

Annie you can do both teen and MILF clips, I do and I've seen others as well. I just call myself a "young MILF" it sells well. But if updating isn't helping lay off, let your fans miss you. Getting frustrated and burned out doesn't help.
I honestly really doubt you're doing anything wrong, but try changing up your look maybe. wigs etc keep it interesting

@Mz Dynamite I don't use the name teenageannie for anything but this forum because I don't like revealing my cam persona. Anyway, yeah I totally burned myself out and lost money because I was making clips and not camming. my thought process was that the clips would pay off so it wouldn't matter. that didnt happen. Luckily though I uploaded the less 'fetishy' clips to extralunchmoney and have sold a few so I got some money back out of it. I also get a lot of views and a ton of request emaiils from extralunchmoney. the thing is i really didnt want to work ELM because C4S had my preferred method of payment and ELM doesn't. sadface.

I was going to try extra lunch money but I emailed him about exchanging links and stories for our blogs and he never got back to me so i never opened up a shop.
Atleast c4s gets back to me, even Neil has called me to chat about suggestions.
Goodluck with them!

You are AWESOME!!!


I had such an uploading "doh" moment today!

I had a backlog of clips to upload, so I just went to dump them all on, and thought to myself, hmmmm...it drives me nuts sitting and loading each one, one at a time. Such a waste of time! Maybe I can open the upload screen in multiple tabs...

I had always assumed that (like many other sites) you could only be logged in on one tab at once - that if you opened a new tab/window and logged in, it would kick you off the other one.

Nope. Just uploaded five clips at once, and saved myself about an hour. At LEAST an hour. So if any of you are like me, and didn't figure this out....you can. Its awesome.

Boy, do I feel dumb!

Cornstarch and water cooked on low heat, adjusting the amounts until you get the best consistency. I've had a lot of time to experiment with this, lol. Make sure to stir extremely often and chill a bit before you put it on anyone's private parts :P

There are a few mixtures that can simulate the look of ejaculation.
One very popular nonmixture is using liquid cetaphil lotion or cleanser.
It comes in a pump bottle, and is sold in most big drug stores and one-stop retailers.

You can do it on the website itself (click the Gizmo button) or use an FTP program such as Filezilla.

Mlle_Mystere
04-02-2013, 05:31 PM
You should be able to do that with any editing software (Windows Live Movie Maker, for example) although I'm not sure why you would want a bunch of 2min clips - that's the minimum time, not a requirement.

Has anyone gotten their direct deposit from c4s yet today? It says payout will be sent today for ACH but it hasn't gotten to my account, it's usually on when I wake up in the morning on the day they say they're doing payout.
