If I choose to be paid by ACH which I assume = direct deposit, then where I am supposed to choose minimum payout amount... Am I going to get charged fees depending upon what minimum payout I choose O_O ?
no min payout is just the minimum amount of money uve earned before they pay u . i think 100$ but its like on SM where u have to make a min of $20 to get a check or $100 to be paid on payoneer etc

When you film a clip on your webcam, how do you know what size to record it at, like on Streamate with the encoder, how do you know what resolution to record it at. Do you use Windows Movie maker, does windows movie maker determine the resolution or do you or do you use logitech software to record it and just use windows movie maker to edit it O_O ? Just contemplating it is freaking me out. I have never made a clip or video ever.

I have direct deposit/ ach in the US and the minimum to be paid is $50.00 no fees in addition to those taken from your clip sale price (i.e., you get 60%)

I think any of those options will work once you figure it out. I suggest you play around with whatever you have, make some practice clips, even if they suck offer them on ELM or where you currently cam if clip sales are an option. Then when you have 10 clips over 2 minutes long open the C4S studio, some of the random stuff that sells there amazes me.

So I live with my family still and my name is on none of the bills, but I do get mail. Do you think Clips4Sale will take other kinds of mail with my name on it or does it need a utility bill?

Huge question! So I am an Ex Camgirl due to my relationship. but we agreed I could still do C4S I am now working a regular job hoping to get another one soon BUT with the holidays and everything I need in my daily life trying to survive off of 2 part time jobs is still going to be very difficult. I was wondering WHAT ARE THE MOST POPULAR CATEGORIES ON C4S. I need extra cash BADLY and I have no clue what men want to see in videos the most. Also other tips on how to make some seriously great $$ Solo on C4S would be GREATLY appreciated!

well we cannot give you what category that will pay well. it depends on how YOU do in your clips and how you bring traffic to your studio. my highest paying category is toilet humilation. =/
try all categories you can and find what pays you the most.

100% honest, c4s isn't a get tons of cash right away kind of site. It takes awhile to break into a fetish and climb the rankings. You may do well in a fetish at first, then have it die, or just never get going. There is no magic formula, no one can tell you what to do to make money, you'll need to read the pages for hours, get a feel for whats popular in a category (yes, it changes) and go for it.
I can tell you to record in HD, and stay away from vanilla stuff. Honestly c4s is a lot more competitive than camming, guys can choose from thousands of cam girls, but a fetish may only have 20-100 studios, rankings mean everything for money and I really doubt anyone is going to give away their top categories so you can "make some seriously great $$" in their niche that they've worked hard on.

I scanned a bank statement. I don't have anything on my name either except for half of our home. But no bills at all. Not even my cell phone bill. Like seriously nothing. That's what I have my husband for. The bills lmao. (Kidding.)

Like others have said no one can tell you what category youll do the best in however smoking is by far the best selling category for me.

What kind of time frame do you guys generally give yourselves for custom clips? Obviously it depends on the clip but in general? I find myself chronically late with customs... guys don't seem to mind after they actually get their clips and they come back for more but it's such a bad habit. :/

I let guys know when I'll be filming again, even if I just loosely say "next week". I tell them the timescales when I give them my prices and before they've paid, in case they want it sooner than I can deliver it. It's never been a problem when I've had to extend the time, as long as they what's happening they're happy.

There's a delightful guy who sends pictures of animals being crushed along with his disgusting custom request...I'm glad I have hotmail, it didn't open his pictures automatically but other girls weren't so fortunate.
I wouldn't give the email address of those guys. Some girls will be all too happy to put a creature through agony just for the money.

Like a week I got this email:
"Hope you are doing well today... I was wondering if you offer custom fetish clips? If so would you be interested in making foot fetish/squish fetish clip?, The clip would basically be you slowly stepping on big insects, snails, or fish with your leather sandals or possibly barefoot?"
I just replied saying sorry I don't do that plus crushing living things on the sites I work on is banned.

Girls will even email customers they know to be into a certain fetish and offer to kill animals in slow and painful ways.
On C4S they swallow live fish and incredibly it's allowed.

Now that I think about it they could just accept payment else where or as a tribute and just personally email the video instead of uploading to the site.

I tell them 3 to 5 days and usually stick to it, unless something comes up and I can't send it in the 5th day. But if that happens, I always send it the next day.

I don't think it's allowed, swallowing a fish means harming the animal, fish, wtv. I just think they didn't see the clip. It's not the first time I see a clip that doesn't follow the rules, but I didn't report it, I'm not c4s police. I just make sure I do my best to follow the rules and not post illegal content or stuff like that. Well not only post, I don't even produce such content, it would break my heart to crush a snail :((( I feel so pity for them.

No, it's definitely allowed. It's not being crushed, and there is no blood etc...arguably though it's being suffocated. There isn't a rule against being dissolved in stomach acid. Live fish swallowing is shown on US TV and that makes it ok apparently.

Minnow shots ew. I had a teacher in 5th grade that said he swallowed a live goldfish. He didn't say if it was a dare or the shot or what. I will never forget that because it's so gross.

I hope this isn't a repeat question, but I didn't see anything about it so I'm asking :) I just got started on C4S and I'm trying to get it all set up and I found the wishlist part in the members site. Do any of you use this??? If so, how do you use it??? Do you just post a pic link to your Amazon or any other wishlist you have??? Or is that against the rules??? If anyone can help me understand how it works, I would really appreciate it

When does payout end? It says you're paid on the 7th so do you have until the 7th or does it end at the end of the month?

You'll usually have it by the 7th. I got my check in the mail on the 6th for October's payout. Supposedly it's about the same for electronic methods of payment.

You ladies are so effin awesome! I've been on c4s for a while but goodness I honestly have been doing it all wrong. I've been doing whatever I wanted over and over even though it didn't give me idea $$. I just assumed more than say 200 a month on c4s was lucky and 50-70 a month per my two stores was average. I'm so excited now!

I do have a question. How much effort of videos do you try before moving on to another niche to attempt?
Do you try more than one or maybe ten. Do you attempt it spaced out or pretty much a little group of that kink?

im curious to know this too actually but just wanted to mention is ok to make more then what ur niche is. ur buyers choose your niche you dont so if theres something you REALLY enjoying doing but it doesnt sell that well make them anyway because new uploads bump ur store up and can bring in sales to your 'top niches' eventually everything sells tho so dont worry about that either =)

For different niches- I find that which niche sells tends to vary month-to-month. I try to use the sales report feature to get a handle on what categories might be popular, film a few at once, and then film 'sequels' to clips that have been most popular. I also agree with 'everything sells.' Some clips have sold for the first time, months later, that I forgot I even filmed.

I try to cover various niches, I don't just focus on one niche. I do like 2-3 videos in a niche I want to explore, see if or how the videos sell and if they do, then I will make more videos and add like 1-2 each week or so, or if they don't really sell, then I will just make 1-2 videos a month to test it out again. Something like that. I kinda tend to forget about categories that don't sell very well.
I try to space out my videos from a particular niche, as I said I don't want to focus on just one niche. And in case the video I posted today doesn't sell well, tomorrow I'll have another niche, and maybe that will sell....this gets you more exposure as well. If you only post in a specific niche, then you will only show up in that niche....but if you address several categories, then you will show up in all of those, which will bring you more exposure and traffic.

Someone on this forum has the quote, "If you can't fix it, feature it." My experience with C4S (brief so far, only 4 months) has been that clips featuring aspects about myself that are not Pretty Porn Mainstream sell as well or better then the top categories you see on their front page. For me, anything that I was teased about, or try to correct in order to be more attractive, when I do a clip centering around that, it sells multiples. Inverted nipples, tons of freckles, poochy belly, whatever it is that doesn't conform. If you feel okay making a clip of part of you that you dislike, give it a shot. They sell for me. Hell, some of them made me so uncomfortable I let it sell a few times and then cancel the clip.
Not reccomending that one does that with a clip that sells, I'm very self-conscious, just saying that ugly or non-conventional can work on C4S.

I have really ugly, big toenails due to damaging them. So...I've made a few toe nail cutting clips and talking about my toenails and how it happened...they're not my best sellers but they do sell.

My account was denied, hmm...which I was debating whether or not to start selling on ELM first. I haven't done any clips at all yet and think that may be my best option before diving in C4S. I noticed a really disturbing trend of very low priced clips on ELM though and am unsure of how to price any clips. Any recommendations? Starting out I doubt mine will be "great", at least til I get the hang of it so I do not want to overprice but I don't want to sell myself short either and need the cash!

I have a question (maybe it's going to be repeated but there's 68 pages, I'm sorry), when giving them your personal info for your store did you give your real home address where you actually live or a p.o. box or what else? And did you give your first and last name? I'm super paranoid when it comes to these things :S

How do you guys keep your file sizes down without them turning to crap? Mine are nowhere near the ideal that clips4sale says. I use adobe premiere pro with 1080x1920 but if I drop the frame rate below 3/s it just looks choppy and terrible. I feel like there's a trick or setting that I'm missing.
