It's $45. I've waited till it's over 500 though to make it worth it. Cheque would incur a bank fee, exchange rate, and take longer. It's the reason I used (still use) DP for my other store x

I think the bank fee I pay is £9...it works out a cheaper to have payment by cheque and not that much longer, only 3 or 4 days x

Did everyone get the notice about us only supposed to have two file formats per unique clips.

I find that rather depressing since I currently have three stores which I was uploading three different types of formats per unique clip too so they were all organized by format and now I am going to have to get rid of one of my stores. Boo. :/

It got to changed to being a recommendation to try and only use 2 formats. You could also change the stores to be different sizes/formats, so you keep all of them.

"In an effort to help our producers when uploading content, please note the most popular and preferred file formats by customers are: MP4 and WMV
The maximum allowed is TWO (2) FORMATS per Unique Clip.
WARNING: Do not spam updates by adding miscellaneous clip formats. Studios that abuse clip updates to be re-listed in the “Recently Updated” lists will have their clips deleted from the servers without notice.

CLARIFICATION
To clarify yesterday's broadcast message regarding clip formats, please note that the message was seen by ALL producers, it was not directed at any individual studios. Broadcast messages are sent to ALL open studios on the Clips4Sale network of sites.

Our intension was not to force any studio owner to use only MP4 or WMV. Our recommendation is to try to only use two (2) formats per unique clip. However, you can do HD and SD versions of each format which would equal four (4) clips, if you feel the need to offer more options. Or if you shoot in MOV, you could do MOV and MP4, in both HD and SD as described above.
What we are trying to avoid are duplicate clips added in obsolete formats for the sole purpose of spamming the main and category list pages.
We are trying to explain the importance of correctly uploading formats which are not only relevant to current technology, but also directed toward the changes we are making behind the scenes at Clips4Sale which will enable customers to get clear and correct results from their searches. Our ultimate goal is to increase your visibility as a studio when a customer searches for the content you produce and allow the customer to get the best results when they visit Clips4Sale."

So clips4sale changed the category of my store without notifying me? Um.... what the hell, is that a glitch? Anyways, ladies go make sure your store category hasn't randomly changed.

I also this month got my 2nd chargeback ever in four years being on there, from someone who has spent tons on videos, then randomly charged back a $2.99 video, of course. What an idiot, hes gonna spend more money trying to able to re-use the site then he did on the video.

I was part of the reason for the clarification. LOL!

I emailed them about having three different stores with three different formats and it was C4S that told me to consolidate them. They are supposed to be in the process of doing so but I haven't seen any changes yet in the last 3 days.

The easiest way to make more revenue is to make longer clips, ones 10+ minute long. Whats your average length of clip? If you haven't tried longer clips I would try that first.

If you haven't tried longer clips I would try that first. around 5-7 mins Do you think fetishes sell better than girl girl, girl guy, and solo? I was looking at expanding into fetishes some of the more fun maybe even a little bizarre nothing gross. I am just wanting to try something different cuz even though we have tons of content a lot of it is older and a lot just doesnt sell which I honestly think is because the market is just flooded. Thoughts?

Anything is worth a try...the site is strongly fetish. Categories will sell differently for all of us, so just try some clips in the categories that appeal to you.

I don't have any boy/girl or girl/girl so I can't comment on that. For me, a part of my look is the fetish, so even solo non-fetish video sell. It really depends on the girl how the categories sell, as Classy Katy has stated. Trying something different is always good though, in the sense that it is worth exploring because you just never know what will sell.

Thanks so much for this advice! I am really in need of more income right now so I am going to give it a try.

I've been meaning to take a bunch of my smaller clips and put them together into a 'package' to make them into longer clips and see how they end up selling.

Classy_Katy
09-01-2014, 10:25 PM
Putting shorter clips together works well...you can edit them to take save one aspect so they have that part non-stop.

Customers have told me that they bought a particular clip simply because it was the longest of that type.

caramelcraze
09-02-2014, 04:25 AM
Definitely fetish. I put up a striptease clip that was 5 minutes and a pantyhose clip that was 5 at the same time... 10x as many pantyhose clips have sold thus far even though it was more expensive. Different fetishes work for different people though.

Hey Everybody, I'm getting ready to set up my clips4sale store and I want to set up all of the connected email, twitter tumblr accounts up at the same time, so I'm hung up on a name. Would it be a bad idea to take my current cam name and add a sexy last name? I'm not indy, I work for one of the big box cam sites...

Classy_Katy
09-03-2014, 10:23 PM
I use my cam name...you can't link to other sites for a month after setting up your store though. I watermark my clips with the same name too.

So can I still upload MP4, .MOV, and WMV? I barely have .MOV up I just started converting and I ran a report and I've sold every video I have in .MOV at least once. If I didn't have any sales in there I wouldn't worry but I'm selling in that format.

Hey, so I just got my C4S store up and going on saturday afternoon and have already sold several clips (yay!) My silly newb question is how soon can I start promoting on Twitter? I know that you can't link out for the first 14 days, but do they have any issues with you promoting your store right away on social media? I'm always so cautious when first trying out a new site....

You can promote on any site as long as you back link to that site. I actually JUST got off the phone with them in regards to this so that is update information.

Omg okay so it's not just me lol. Safari says it cannot connect to the server. This has been happening since yesterday evening. About 17 hours now maybe more =(
I have been getting orders so luckily that part is still working lol but I have clips to upload. I was about ready to call their customer service. I remember earlier this week I could not log in because they were performing maintenance. Possibly more maintenance now?

I hope it resolves soon.

From studio support "We are experiencing a temporary server issue which the programmers have been working on and it will be fixed as soon as possible. It DOES NOT effect the public customer side of the website, it only effects access to the producer admin on the zapya.com server set and FTP access with a stand-alone FTP client. Clips being activated were already set for FUTURE ACTIVATIONS only. No one has access to the producer admin at this time while we work on the server set. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

Hey everyone,

My sales have been way down the past few days... much slower than usual. I know they have had issues on the studio side of things, but wondering if this has crossed over to the customer side too? They said it hasn't but my sales are way off what they should.

Anyone else had a slow few days or have your sales been steady/as usual?

Hi girls,

Thanks for the replies, my sales are picking back up again now. My hits were well down over the few days the log in page was down which makes me think that customers must have had some issues too, as I'd set videos to automatically upload before the site went down.

Hopefully will all stay sorted now :)

You can edit it after you make a copy of the spreadsheet to your computer or to your google spreadsheet.

I have looked everywhere I can think of, but can't find the answer for this. I know how to change the gif that shows up for a clip on my page, but how do I control what picture shows up when you search in a category on C4S? I just put up a clip, and when I look in the category I put it in (in that scrolling preview that is at the top of each page), it pops up a totally unflattering picture of me. Can we change that?

List clips> rollover pic maker (its an icon of a landscape pic) Same drill as changing the gif except you are choosing a frame. Thanks for asking, I ignore this most of the time and probably shouldn't.
