No I didnt get it either but I wasnt expecting it, thought it was usually the 6th of each of each month but I do see they said April 5th. Bummer!


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.

Ok Quick question where do i find the rules pertaining having other people in my video..i do porn and i have gotten "content swaps" from many of these people is it ok or not ok to clip these videos and use them for my own use or not because i have so much "content" that i really don't want it to go to waste ..thank you:)

@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 make very good money on C4S. At first I didn't though. Infact I never sold anything until my 4th month of being on that site. I did not list daily though. I basically listed 10 clips and when nothing sold I gave up immediately. About 4-5 months later I had a recorded cam session and thought to myself what the hell I'll put it up on c4s....it sold multiple times. So I started putting more effort in to c4s and started doing clips for specific categories. More popular categories are not really good to list in because they are over saturated. Once i was able to find my niche I started to see HUGE increases in my traffic and more importantly paying customers. Now I easily clear $1,000/month over there.

Here are links to their 2 'rules' pages. I haven't thoroughly read through them, i'm still on my first cup of coffee. But I believe it's on the first link saying that you agree that you have the right to post anything that you post. But I know somewhere they do reccomend having each 'model' sign a model release form found here - https://storeadmin.zapya.com/Example_Forms/Release_Example.pdf If you need to find that link again it is on the main page of your store admin site, at the bottom on the left. Hope this helps :)

I have a question, how can I make custom videos on c4s and how should I charge them?

AureliaC
04-11-2013, 09:19 AM
I either let them pay me outside c4s and give them a link, or post it for whatever amount you guys agree on on c4s and then lower the price to normal after they've bought it.

Ashley_3
04-11-2013, 09:30 AM
Thanks :) And how can they reach me? I saw on another store that they've left an email to contact, is this a good way?

AureliaC
04-11-2013, 11:34 AM
Leave it everywhere. People are lazy, and if it takes too much time to get in contact with you they may not bother. The majority of my money comes from customs, I've got my email everywhere I can and I have "credits" at the end of videos with my twitter and email, I think a lot of girls do that there. Also whenever I do a custom vid I put in the description **custom video** on the first line, that lets guys know I do customs constantly and they also seem to sell better. I've seen some people even leave a little *this was a custom video, contact me for your own video at ----*

But I have another question, is music in videos allowed?

AureliaC
04-12-2013, 09:19 AM
Not generally. It's not specifically prohibited by c4s I don't think but unless you have rights to it you could get into some legal trouble.

If you want to use music but are worried about copyright, you can find some great royalty free tracks on youtube that are free for commercial use also.

jediofthefeet

Quite a few c4s producers have music in their videos, mainly in the background to help
their models feel comfortable. Others diliberately add music in the foreground because
they don't want the use the natural audio in the video. C4S has no issue with either.

But if the latter video is posted on a site such as YouTube as a full video or a sample promo,
sometimes the copyright owners find out, and tell YouTube to take action. And that applies
to all producers. However, I've seen producers use copyright music in their videos, but to keep the
copyright owners off their backs, they post a visible link to Amazon so people can purchase
the music if they so choose.

Ashley_3
04-16-2013, 04:08 AM
Thank you, I'll have this in mind, but maybe I'll try some of the free music.

I also wanted to ask how much do you charge for custom videos? I'm charging 2-3$ per minute for some easy stuff. I have not got more complicated requests, maybe I'll charge more for them.

maryjaynexo
04-16-2013, 06:22 AM
I charge $5 public (where I post the videos to my usual content selling sites)/$8 exclusive (no public posting, the request is only received by that person via download link) per minute for custom videos, although I'm thinking of upping that to $8 to $10.

Ashley_3
04-16-2013, 06:28 AM
Thank you, so I think I'll slowly start to raise my prices :)

That is way too low, girl. I charge no less than $10/min for "easy" non nude stuff. More complicated videos are anywhere between $12-20 dollars a minute. And that's the rate for videos I still post to my clip store. For exclusive, I triple the rate. I get between 10 and 20 custom video orders a month. You need to price yourself what you're worth.

You should absolutely raise your prices. I'm telling you, I sell tons of custom videos in the $12-20 a minute range. If you're hot, you're worth it. Yeah, some guys will say it's too much, but there are many who will pay that price - provided your videos are quality work.

Ashley_3
04-17-2013, 12:20 AM
larkinlove, thank you :)
I first started doing customs on ELM and there I think it's just cheaper. That's why I asked about C4S, I had no idea what others are charging. And the way the site is made I can't just go and see what others charge.
I'll start to raise my prices, like maybe 4-5$ per minute and I'll see how are things going.

LarkinLove is right, if you are hot enough, you will make out like Thelma and Louise! LarkinLove is in the Top 50 Studios on C4S, so she knows her stuff. BTW, you can see what others charge. One of the top female producers is Ceara Lynch. She isn't listed now, but some months after she started, she vaulted to #1. She brazenly showed off about $13k-$14k in hundred dollar bills from her one month sales! Ceara does many customs, so you can check how much she charges.

Peruse the Top 50 and look for names of your female peers. They will definitely have some custom clips so you can see what they charge.

AureliaC
04-17-2013, 11:53 PM
There's a big difference between the top 50 studios and the thousands of us somewhere below. Don't sell youself short but I'm not sure those are the women to check up on for custom prices.

Ashley_3
04-18-2013, 12:26 AM
I know I can check other girls, but still not all of them have custom clips right now listed at the original price.
But I agree with AureliaC. I can see people buying custom videos from LarkinLove for 10$ or more, but they won't buy them for me at the same price. I'm not that popular.

Mistress Anika
04-18-2013, 11:51 AM
I'm definitely not a well known lady like LarkinLove, nor do I fulfill her volume of custom requests. With that said, my rates start at $5/min or $50 minimum. That gets you a very simple, no though, non-nude, very easy to resell clip. If the client is annoying I charge more, if I'm filming outside my room I charge more, Nudity more, digging out costumes more, new fetish more.... You get the Idea. I've charged upwords of $10/min for a solo, yet complex clips and haven't had guys bat an eye, before asking how to pay.


C4S does not have the CHEAPSKATE problem that ELM does

AureliaC
04-18-2013, 12:03 PM
I don't know where you find the paying ones, but lately I've had a rash of guys sending me "suggestions" and not expecting to pay more than the typical $1 a minute. I tell them whatever price I decide on (typically 5-8 a minute depending on how much I'll hate it) for a custom and that if he doesn't want to pay that I'll put it in my suggestion box if he wants to wait until I run out of clip ideas (which is never).
I'm very popular in certain circles and in those I can charge what I want and still have a 3 week wait list, but keep the prices reasonable so the second they buy it they can be so happy they turn around and order another.

Ashley_3
04-18-2013, 12:11 PM
I have those suggestion thing also, I hate it.
Thank you girls for telling me how much do you charge. I understand you and I'll try to slowly raise my prices, but it's really not working the same way for me. Right now I don't even know if I'll make enough to reach the payout limit, so I'm really not selling a lot.

Question, I'd really appreciate anyone who knows! Does anyone know if its possible and how much it is to reissue an old check? I was cleaning and I came across an old check from last year that some how got lost in all my stuff FML and I would hate to see it go to waste. Wondering if it's possible to have a check reissued?

Message customer service I'm sure they will be able to issue a new check. Since its been so long they might not charge you canceled check fee.

I'll consider suggestions but I won't do anything that's particularly detailed, and I will do it my own way...the good thing is that the suggested movies generally sell. I've also learnt quite a lot from the things guys have suggested and then brought elements of into other clips I've made.

So with bondage, is it okay to have just the arms bound with sex? Or just the legs? Or one arm/leg? Or just a body harness? :c I feel like all the fetishes I could possibly cater to are against the rules. T^T I'm hardcore and I didn't even know

The TOS says (among other things) "If someone has all four (4) limbs bound, they cannot be penetrated in any clips, videos or images." So I would think partial bondage is cool :)

Made $4 while I slept last night... woot woot!

Just a quick question.. I've read before (somewhere) that girls say their conversion rate varies but how much?
100 hits no sales? that's what I saw yesterday.. and then when the new day started overnight I got 80 hits 2 sales... I know this is probably normal but what's your rough normal?
If my conversion rate is higher than normal I was thinking maybe I just need to put the files in something other than avi.

Classy_Katy
04-27-2013, 09:43 AM
I don't really know much about AVI files but I have some in that when I want to create extra formats. The most commonly sold files are WMV but the universal format is MP4.

Ok, what is it with weekends and sales? I don't get it. First last weekend my graphic made a peak in sales. Both sat and sun had great sales compared to the other part of the week. And now it's happening again. This sat I had the most income I've ever had. And it's not like I upload more. I'm liking it, but I was curious is it always like that?

It's sales. Sales are never on the dot consistent. It is fluctuating all of the time.

Because most guys aren't working during the weekend. It's time for leisure. Friday night = switch off from work, Monday night = switch back onto work. Thankfully there are guys who like some fun in the meantime or are alone during the week but not the weekend etc but generally weekends are fun time.

I have another question. I have a clip, which I have scheduled to release and it should have released in the last 6-12 hours I suppose. I have a customer who wrote me 3 hours ago how much he liked my clip. But I do not have any sales for this clip. From the beginning of may I have only three sales, I see the number in my c4s account and I've gotten 3 emails for clip orders. And no orders for this particular clip.
I do not think he's lying to me. He has bought others of my clips and I've made a custom for him. So I think he bought it. But if he has why I don't have a sale? Is it possible the sale to appear later?

I'd contact support and ask them. There's a chance he may be just referring to the description and the gif, and hasn't actually bought it.

Ashley_3
05-02-2013, 12:23 AM
I don't know, it doesn't sound like he is referring to the gif. I think I'm going to wait a couple more hours and if nothing happens I'll ask him if he has actually bought it.

Do most of you have success uploading the same clips in various formats? I mostly do MP4 but now I'm thinking I should be doing more than just the 1 type

AureliaC
05-02-2013, 05:45 PM
I do well with various clip formats because I cross post (when appropriate, since they do review them now), for the most part I do avi and mp4. wmv is popular but the quality is poor and the file size is huge so I stopped.

Ashley_3
05-03-2013, 02:17 AM
About my question just to let you know the guy didn't buy it then, but he bought it today and I got the sale, so nothing to worry :)

I usually make 3 formats, which now are wmv, avi and mp4. Since AureliaC told me I'm posting them all in different categories. It's not hard to find 3 for most of the clips.

You can put your email in your header, or your clip descriptions. I do both.

"Contact me for custom clips @ [email protected]"

05-05-2013, 08:29 PM
There is no place on C4S for messages. I have put my email in the header of my store description and I also put at the end of my clips. But maybe I'll do it in the clips description also :)
