I upload one new clip a day in 2 different formats. I think there is such a thing as uploading too many clips a day. If it's the same clip in different formats guys find it annoying when your store is flooded with the same stuff. If you upload more than one unique clip per day they should be in different categories. If it's something completely different than it should not be a problem. But if you're updating the same category than the clips will just not get enough attention IMHO.

Wow it looks like there's been an increase in chargebacks. I had one last year and I looked and the guy bought like 3 or 4 videos and chargebacked 1 and it was like 6 months after he bought it too. It was a little one probably not even $3 but I was still mad. Why would you wait that long to do it and if there was something wrong with that video why not email me about it so I could fix it?

Probably his wife looked at the credit card statements at tax time! Chargebacks happen at c4s, the more you sell the more chargebacks. I haven't had one in several months *knock on wood*.

i had some weird thing. One clip just reuploaded/ reupdated itself on clips4sale. That clip i uploaded in march.
And one person bought that clip couple of days ago, but he bought it twice...lol in the same day within 10 mins. I wonder if someone experienced something similar.
He did a chargeback, but this is understandable.

I've been hearing of some glitches...I saw something new today on the new site layout. That kind of thing is typical when they're working on stuff, but I know they're going slow to try to prevent glitches from happening. Are y'all getting your email notifications? I haven't since 1am today but I'm getting sales. Glitching...

I have a question.
Each couple of months clips4sale wires an amount to my account in the Netherlands.
Yet this month and previous payment were not received by me. I requested clips4sale to trace the payment, but they say their bank is not responding to the request.
I contacted my bank, but they say the only one to be able to trace the payment is the bank that sends the amount, not the one that is supposed to receive it.
I never had any problems with receiving money from clips4sale by wire, and never any problems with receiving any kind of money. All bankdetails are correct...yet payments seem to dissapear from clips4sale to my bank.
Anyone that has similar experiences? Anyone that can offer me some advice?

If c4s works with Bank of America, that bank can loose everything..seriously last month i had problems with that bank and they almost charged me 200$ for their mistakes!i spent hours on phone talking to them.

I did receive my first payoneer payment, it worked great. Although I'm not very happy with the payoneer fees. It takes me 3.3-3.4% on every transaction I'm making + $3,15 for ATM withdrawal. This means I'm losing about $30-50 on every $1000 that I spend.

Ashley, what do you mean it takes 3% on every transaction? Do you mean you lose that amount on the exchange rate? I haven't seen fees come out for individual transactions. I was part of the testing group too and it worked perfectly. I got my payment on the 7th for my main store and my cheque on the 14th for my other stores (I'm in Canada)
Ashley_3
05-15-2015, 08:13 AM
Sophia, I asked them what are the exact fees and exchange rate and they told me that's the fees. When I substract the fees the exchange rate actually seems fine.
Here is their response:
1. Date: 05/08/2015 09:23 Amount to charge: $241.62 The fee is -11.18$ included with 3,15$ fee per transaction (this is ATM withdrawal)
2. Date: 05/08/2015 09:06 Amount to charge: $26.18 The fee is - 0,88$ (I paid in a store)

I know this isnt C4S especifically but more of a general question. So I shot the most beautiful clip today, as I have stated before I dont know much about technology and chose the option to choose 3840x2160 which is something like 4k UHD. Well it turns out that on my phone it plays beautifully, on my laptop it lags, and on the editor it looks like crap. I have been doing some research online already but havent really found how to fix this issue in a way I understand or what program to use in order to edit it. I dont want to reshoot at a lower quality since it was such a beautiful clip :( help pls.

It's very simple, your computer isn't powerful enough to handle 4K content.

I have 3, for each new studio you need a new email.
P.s i confused, you will need JUST a new login:)

The only way to fix it is to upgrade your computer. I'm not sure what you minimally need to edit 4k video but you can find your answer by using google. You do have to ask yourself if it's worth spending the money to upgrade your computer so you can have 4k content on your store. I would say no. Most people don't have 4k TVs or monitors so it's really not worth it. It will take a few years for 4K to become the norm so you're fine with 1080p for now.

You don't need a new email for each of them but you do end up with (obviously) different login info. So username is different but that's all.
You also get paid in one check for all your studios. Which is awesome if your worried for new studio may not make payout because they all combine .

When you resize 4k you get very good HD.

I'm pretty sure this is already in this thread somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. When you all upload to c4s, do you use an external application to process the upload? C4S's uploader is sooooo slow for me. It takes around 30 minutes for a 10 min video to upload. And on clipvia, it takes less than 2, so I know it's not my internet connection.

Really irritated by the Dbags that sent these detailed scripts as 'requests' and then try to hold it over my head. "If I like this one, I'll send you more scripts for more clips" and attach a string of what he called 'screenshots from clips already made by my request' (I didn't open them). Seriously? I'm going to make your detailed 4 minute clip exactly like the 11 screenshots you attached in hopes that you'll send me another complicated clip to make? Then what happens? You send screenshots of me to other people?
UGH! How stupid do they think we are? I have it spelled out on my page I do requests and customs and they are 2 different things. Sorry for the rant, these guys just get to me.

Then you need to contact studio support and ask how to set the studios up so that you receive just one payment...I can't remember how it's done now. I have 3 studios and one payment, and one email address.

You just summed it up, pretty much completely. I thought customs were so fun, until I realized that most dudes were going to be like that. It's totally not even cost effective. I have had guys literally send me 3-4 pages of scripted material, for a 15 buck, ten min clip!!!!! It's seriously ridiculous...sorry, I am just so burnt on these selfish fuckers too (the ones that do that shit). It pays so little compared to live camming, or even selling instant downloads, and the expectations are so high! Not to mention the 25-30 emails, about absolutely fucking nothing of relevance per day, per douche! I won't even do customs for more than about 3-4 guys (who pay fairly) now, and I was top seller on one of the smaller sites for a month or two. No thanks!!!! I had one guy tell me that I needed to put my prices down, since he works for 11 bucks an hour, and so I should be willing to do that too? Fair enough...but for 11 bucks an hour, I won't be working in adult work, lol! Same dude had 5 customs in the works, pretty much all of the time...hmmmm, 11 bucks my ass! And you are SO right, they always hold that dumb shit over you...like; if this is good enough, I may spend another 10 bucks in 2 months. I have seriously gotten to the point where I tell them to F-off. I know it's bad for my rep, but I don't really care. Not sure what ind of entitled, unfair asshole even talks to a stranger that way...much less one he wants something from. Anyways long story short...you are SO right!!!!!!!!!

05-24-2015, 05:07 PM
I don't have any problems, but I do compress mine first. I bought handbrake for about $50, since the free versions/ drop box etc were so slow, and took up my whole bandwidth. So I compress mine, then upload. If that is not it, I am not sure, because I have not tried to upload anything since yesterday. Usually with compressing, and the type of internet that I have, it takes me about 5 mins per clip to upload or less. I generally sell 15 min or shorter clips, and upload in MP4 format. I noticed on Friday, that I had several glitches, but set all of my Saturday upload for timed automatic upload. So it's been a few days, but I did notice that a couple started over, and there were some glitches. I hope that, that helps.

Has anyone on here uploaded sneezing videos? Haha. I'm waiting on my C4S application to be approved and I have a few clips in progress. I saw the sneezing category and was like... wow! Do you think anyone would buy it if I made a clip of me making myself sneeze over and over?
Elimarie7
05-24-2015, 05:58 PM
Yes, I make most of my money on sneezes, they sell really well. Try to capitalize on your first week,and add as many as you can that week, because sales drop off after you are not on the front page. It's still a good site to earn on, and the customer service people are super nice, and very helpful. It's just that the first week or 4-5 days, is a great time to attract as many regulars as possible, and upload maybe more than you would in general. I upload maybe 4-6 clips a day, and I have to admit that I have been pretty random as far as categories etc, but I have made nearly $1000 this month (May 2015), whereas I made $800, my first week (when I was on the front page). Admittedly, I do what I feel like, and don't really operate it in a business sense. I hardly ever post clips in the top selling categories, so I am sure there are better ways to work the site, than the ways that I do...I just like to do what I feel like, which is always really random :) Hope this helps. It's a really awesome site, and you can also sign up for google analytics, for free, and monitor your traffic daily i.e. know where most page views are being referred from, and know what times of day are busiest, and what categories you are doing best in :) Have fun with it, and totally capitalize on your first week:) I uploaded maybe 50-70 clips my first week, and now I upload about 30-40 a week.

I'm guessing that is because either your payment/billing info is different between the two accounts or because you are using seprate emails for each studio. Either way C4S is not connecting that you are the owner of each Studio. I have 3 studios and get paid in one deposit.

I wish a muse also visit me so i can make 30 clips per week.but honestly quality wise, 30 clips is unreal! my goal is 3 vids per day for my main store. But they must be quality vids and i must look good on them. So i can be proud of my job, that i sell to people something good for their+-20$. And they would never regret their purchase. I have to say i have my lil fan club there, i see they buy more of my clips. this is like a balsam on my heart. Thats why i already know what they like, so i try to make clips with their fetish. One guy bought all vids from my store over 200 vids, and he have to buy 1000 more cuz i will make them:d
Also i try to come up with something unique, i dont need those over used top categories! I can create something new. But usually all this "creativity" require big investment!

Hmm. 30 clips a week! That's a lot of work for lil' ole me :P But I suppose it's possible, especially if I get frisky and take recordings where I pee in a public bathroom or something.. Public restroom compilation, maybe? Hmm. ::)
My clip store got approved and I uploaded my 10 clips and now I wait... I'll start on a cigarette smoking compilation tonight, but I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing. I'll just smoke and try to be hot, I guess. Right now I'm in the process of fixing all of my clip previews. I want them to be custom, and it feels like it's taking ages, but I have such a lack of focus. Lol. I'll try to aim for at LEAST one clip a day, preferably somewhere between 3 and 5. Maybe now I'll be really into doing housework. :P
Edit: Made my first sale! It was the sneezing video. Hah.

The annoying thing is, those 10 clips you have to make before your store is approved, do not show in their respective categories on approval. You really need to make another clip in each of those categories now to get them fully noticed.
Also, you need to check that your store is showing in the new store list at the centre bottom of the category you have listed your store under...usually it doesn't show and you have to email support about it.

So far I really like c4s! I love that I can track where all my traffic is coming from. That's awesome. I've racked up about 90$ in sales so far, mostly sneezing videos, which is pretty nice if you ask me.
I do have a question, though-- one day I got to a page that said which clips were bought and how many times, and I forgot how to get there! Can anyone tell me where that page is?
