I need to upgrade my cameras too... Really like to find something with a wide angle lens. The way the past 2 months have gone on c4s for me is looking dismal...like I won't even make payout for the 2nd month in a row :( Didn't even get 1/2 the hits I usually get in a month so far this January. How often do yall update? I usually do twice or once a day depending how much content I have built up, now I'm behind for next month because I worked so hard last month for nothing

Thank you ladies for all your camera input!! Thanks so much. My point and shoot camera i'm shooting on is a Panasonic Lumix, so I know the quality is pretty amazing for a $300 camera (its true about the software as well, but I don't use it). I just hate how its hard to film myself without seeing myself, I don't have anyone to film me at the moment. I think instead of upgrading next month from my old webcam to a camcorder i'm going to let my new webcam hold me over until I can penny out for a nice mirrorless camera or a semi-pro camcorder... All this talk had me from wanting a $300 camcorder to a $1k one, and convinced it really is worth the wait. But, at least I have a new webcam for now which should make a difference.

You can buy special monitor for camera cost over 100$ you can see yourself while filming.
Not so easy to film yourself even if you see yourself, cuz your eyes are running.

It's awesome. I might get one of those if my future camera doesn't have a good viewer. Be careful girls, I see previews all the time where the models are clearly looking at themselves in the monitor and not into the lens. You really can tell, and eye contact is key :)

I'm soooo bad about the eye contact thing, which is bad because I have really pretty eyes.

Try to pretend the lens is one giant eye. And you cam right? I think camgirls get a lot of experience from guys asking them to look into the cam. I stare that shit down as much as possible. Makes POV fantasies a lot more intense.

Maybe I am spread out in too many different categories? Ass worship, white booty, foot fetish, eye fetish, legs, pantyhose, boot domination, slave training, princess, spoiled brat, daddy's girl, high heels

Decided to start shooting clips on my brand new phone, and I love it! Lot more portable than my webcam, so its good for outdoor shots and there are even some really good apps for video editing also. Probably once good for the short term though

Miss i tryed to google your name missadriana and i saw on c4s a studio which had all those fetishes you listed above, if that is you and you crush some things while wearing pantyhose you choosed a wrong angle for that, and do not update same category too often.

Do you update every category monthly? I've gotten the best sales that way.
What is eye fetish?

01-23-2015, 02:08 PM
I sell mostly "vanilla" videos. I have 2,600 hits this month and have made JUST under $200 (for this month alone). I know that's not a lot of money, especially since I have been uploading at least one video per day, but my biggest payout was over the course of two months and was $250. Some of my sites are dead as hell and others I am making more money than I am used to.
I'd suggest at least uploading one video a day, even if it's a 5 minute long video it's something.

Oi, I need to mini vent. I got a cold the other day and haven't been able to get medicine. I've been a sick goldmine! Only time I can film is late at night though. My son decided waking up at 1am yesterday was a great idea. All day I have been sneezy and snotty. 2 hours ago it just stops. Grrr. I hope it comes back. Off to the How To thread

You know you need to film that...right? LMAO Sneeze fetish, coughing fetish. I do the coughing fetish category every time I'm sick.

That was the point. I would have, but I don't film when my kids are up. They are amazed by cameras and won't get away from them when they are on. I can't wait for them to go to school in a few years so I can get sick and make some money from it.

Does C4S have the ability to ban people who re-post clips on youtube? There is a youtube user who has posted at least two of my clips and I have found a couple of other girls' clips on his account. I sent a piracy report on the first one I found, but it's still up after a couple of months, and now he's added another one of mine. He uses our cam names, so it shows up on the first page of google, at least for me.

Random question but I was wondering how studios become "C4S Featured" on the right hand side of the C4S main page…? is that paid for by the studio or something?

I have been reading pages on this thread like a beast but there is 100 and now Im a bit overwhelmed. I really want to set up a C4S for doing some fetish stuff, I have my own website where I have movies and vids of me fucking and some fetish stuff and it does well but I like the idea that I can have shorter vids and really fetishy stuff as well as customer request vids on C4S.
I am wondering though if once I upload to C4S can I still up load the videos on other similar sites or even on to my own site or does it have to be exclusive to them? I read through the FAQ's and about 30 pages on this thread but I cant find anything about it.

Hello,
As an owner you report the video yourself with you tubes flag system. They will remove it right away as long as you fill in the info correctly to do so.

Yes you can post your clips elsewhere.
The only consequence is that you would not be eligible to be a featured studio on the right hand side of main page (there are other requirements to meet as well as being exclusive, like being there for over a year) but that was last time I asked - may have changed.

Classy_Katy - I just stumbled upon Clips4Sale this morning. I saw a few of yours on there. :) I am a housewife, just recently left the corporate world... and thinking of ways to monetize my photos. I have a twitter account, but don't post many of my personal photos... well because it's free. In looking through the Clips4Sale site, I saw mostly videos though they do have an account for images.
I want to be incredibly selective about not showing identifying parts of my body just in case I decide to go back to corporate work. I've been in sales for 12 years, so my face is my business card. I've made a list of about 70 fetishes on the site that are potentials. I don't plan to do them all but it's some place to start. I have always been told I have a sexy voice, though to me I sound squeaky and silly. One area that I thought would be good for me would be audio & reading erotic stories or giving JOI.
Do people make any money with their images and audios without showing their face or doing videos that show their face?
MissJu
01-29-2015, 01:03 PM
I think audio is very well selling. I know one girl, she does audio such as glory hole fantasy, sisification and etc she is doing ok.try nightflirt too

Hello :)
It's actually free, but there are requirements which must be met. You do need to send a ticket in to support and you'll get a reply with the criteria a studio must meet in order to be listed as a Featured Studio.

lol I could make MILLIONS with my allergies! I sneeze about 8-10 time in a row when I get up in the mornings and especially when cleaning house. I can see it now... "Honey, quick! Grab the camera! I'm about to sneeze... this video will be worth $5.99 to 100 different men!"
SophiaSylvan
01-29-2015, 02:41 PM
^You'd have to wear a mask, maybe one of those little masquarade masks, since sneezing is a face-oriented fetish. I think it's more about the sound and the wet and snottiness though, but some probably care about the funny faces we make when we sneeze. I was also surprised to find that was a fairy big fetish.
SophiaSylvan
01-29-2015, 02:42 PM
In my experience, audio doesn't sell great. I made 5 or 6 wav or mp3 files and maybe one or two sell sometimes none, and I know how to tell a story, have a sexy voice and a degree in Creative Writing. Maybe a video where you're teasing with your body as you read it would sell better.
Classy_Katy
01-29-2015, 11:31 PM
Images are known for not selling well...but there might be someone out there that sells theirs. I've only sold images as a custom request. Audio isn't a big seller, I've only made them as customs too.

Thanks for the replies ladies! I suppose what I need to really decide is whether or not I will ever go back to a corporate job. I have until July 31st to make a decision. In the meantime, I have 6 months of time on my hands to get creative and earn money.
If I cut the ties to my corporate life and post my face & body in my videos, what are some reasonable expectations for me?
I am a pretty woman but a little overweight. If I applied myself I could probably get the extra pounds off fairly easily. Exotic looking so my husband tells me. Black hair, olive skin-tone and good skin overall, very few wrinkles. Nearly 43 but look early to mid-30's, so I am told. I look and feel 43 to myself. lol
Things I will do:
receiving light bondage (hands/feet)
receiving a spanking
submissive behavior (kneeling for hours, inspections, expected/demanded grooming procedures)
JOI
body oil/lotion
household duties in cute outfits (just can't imagine cleaning out my fridge in the buff, lol)
have a shoe fetish myself (buying & wearing) - have nice legs and high arches so these are possibilities, too.
I also have quite an extensive toy & vibrator collection.
solo masturbation (maybe) I've done a couple of videos but never sold them, just sent them to my husband as a surprise while he was at work.
The husband and I have talked about this extensively... like 10 years or so. He understands why I want to do it and is ok with me doing this kind of work so long as I can replace my income that I made last year. I quit my job in December after many years of 2nd/3rd shift & weekend work.
I already have a large twitter following.
Is this feasible for me?
Azzie
01-30-2015, 01:52 PM
Jesus! Happens to me every time! Start having a sneezing fit because of my allergies and as soon as I get the camera (sneezing the whole way), they magically go away. Ugh!!

Lola, it really depends on the person, success on c4s is a bit unpredictable. If you put a lot of effort into making quality work and have top-notch presentation, you should do well. I'm not so sure about if you don't show your face. You could do submissive girl in a masked- kind of a dehumanization fetish, maybe. My masked videos do OK. I did a lot of submissive videos and honestly they are not the best sellers, at all. Nor are solo masturbation or even couples sex videos. c4s is more of a fetish and femdom site. Who knows though, you could hit upon a niche that would be really popular. Don't feel you have to make yourself out to be younger, the MILF and mature markets are hot.
If I were you, I would start off without showing my face and practice my skills and work on my production values. It takes time to learn all of this. And if you find you're doing well enough to inspire you to take the plunge, then consider going all the way and not going back to corporate.
You certainly don't have to look like a pornstar to do well on c4s. It's more about finding the right niches that work for you.

Two things:
1.) Lolacherrybomb is me - during that whole WTF StripperWeb site malfunction something happened to my account and now I can't log back in to it. Does anyone know how to delete the stupid thing? I just want it gone.
2.) Thanks to all of you who replied to my questions. I started filming on Monday and have about 12-15 shorts to edit. I have been working on my profile/site on c4s and getting that ready as well. I don't want to just throw shit up there and it be all hodge podge. That just isn't me. I have already rebranded my twitter account, so that's done. My husband has started driving a little of his twitter traffic to my twitter handle so I've gained a 100 followers in about 5 days time. Not bad I don't think for a housewife. :) Now to turn that into $$! I feel a little silly talking to the camera with nobody there, but I'm getting used to it little by little. I have 2 hilarious bloopers and thought about posting them but they are really fucked up! Both happened on Monday and my husband is still laughing at me. I am, too. My sides hurt so bad that night. To be honest, this is the most fun I have ever had working. It has been exhausting but I have gone to bed with a smile on my face 4 nights in a row. Happy and I haven't turned the first dime yet!
love you all!

SophiaSylvan
02-04-2015, 07:11 PM
^Clips4sale likes linkbacks. What I would do is link to your blog or website that has a prominent link back to c4s on it. On your blog/site you can advertise your camming. You might get away with a camming link though, since it's not competitive to c4s.

To be honest, i find that people from c4s are not exactly the same as people from webcam sites.i failed to attact people from mfc.but thats my opinion.on c4s i sell videos uof me, so to see me people have to buy my clips. I have even sort of regulars on c4s i always see them purchase every new clips. So i kind of happy, i dont have to talk to them, they just come,buy and leave. I have some ppl from mfc, but they will follow me everywhere!

^^^I suck at webcam sites so I get most of my guys because of the clips I sell. It also helps I'm a Pro Domme and that also helps get clients as well.
Also, does anyone know what the copy right laws are when it comes to putting pictures of other things in your videos? For example, I'm working on a shemale forced bi video and want to put shemale pics in the video, but I'm not sure if that's entirely legal. Do I have to buy the rights from someone?

It's not legal at all, but I guess people are unlikely to prosecute you about it. A bunch of top studios do it and I doubt they buy the rights. To make it legal, yes, you'd have to get the rights from somebody, including having them sign a release and give you a copy of their ID.

Yes, not quite the same type of people but when I was on cam quite a few guys would visit to say how much they loved my clips on c4s. They liked just saying hi, which I was cool with, and appreciated! A number of them did go private, and it's a good opportunity to get the higher private rate if they sign up through you. If you do the same things on cam as in clips it could pay off well.
