Hi everyone, according to him in a post I read a couple of month ago (I read EVERYTHING I can for learning) DSALF have done very hard "outside" traffic work, he didn't say how he made the traffic work (I guess twitter and something like that), I even wrote to him for something about Latinas clips, nothing is easy here and I think EVERY studio in top 50 (general or even in categories) deserves the places where they are, which I think is there is not one unique way to made it, if that would be then we weren't here :)
In other hand, I don't want to be arguing with anyone but I think the "mediocre models" words are disrespectful, specially when you don't know their secrets.
Kisses and please excuse my english.

Well, this is my studio....and may I ask why you don't understand my success?
I think I understand it, I just can't explain it from my neutral point of view. From a neutral point of view, in terms of your studio's features, the descriptions could be improved for the search, some of the girls are masked, you have red text on black background and blue for links which is not easy on the eye (but who knows, maybe it drives customers towards checkout. I am serious, there used to be another studio very high up, even with bright red walls of text), I don't see a pattern in your prices, you only update every second day or so, you have just above 200 clips - unusual for a store selling a lot. It's probably the most unusual thing about your studio's toplist position, I just don't see that often.
If anyone were to show me that studio, without me knowing anything about it, I would have said it's a beginning studio and it's nowhere near the top 50. And yet there you are, pretty high up. Which is what I can't explain. I did see some of your promotion and I do guess that it's just that you make niche videos that people want. After all, the clips have to be great, because people come to your store for them.
Nothing hostile, just observing and trying to understand so I can learn from the people that do better than I do.
Edit: I guess you have some popular models in the mix, which I did not know.
About Xev Bellringer, she does a great job. She could spread her updates more, but who am I to tell her :P I wonder if it's got to do with her using a famous name. I even wonder if that name is not copyrighted.

The Copyright Act states that names, titles, short phrases and expressions cannot be registered in the U.S. Copyright Office- I am assuming you are referring to a trademark not copyright.
Also, just because you do not see a fan base publicly, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist (and is a "head scratcher" etc)
Just looking at his store totally explains his success..he is doing things that other people are not & he is doing it WELL.
Just because you may not understand the style of his content doesn't mean that he has some sort of secret sauce for success. He is doing his thing and his fans are responding= simple.
It is all very well to talk about optimum release amounts/ spreading updates/ at certain times/ clips of a certain length etc.... but if you have no connection with your fan base your going to have an uphill battle.
I am certainly not downing the work you put into your blog Sinna, I just think trying to have it down to a science of sorts is missing the point of the interchange between viewer & the provider.

I just think trying to have it down to a science of sorts is missing the point of the interchange between viewer & the provider.
I don't know about that though. I mean, a lot of guys buy clips, jerk off and never contact the model/store/producer. They like remaining anonymous and they just enjoy the content they buy so they keep coming back. I don't think that interaction is necessary to the success of a clips store. I think it has more to do with how well the person knows their fetishes. And of course quality, creativity, consistency updating and a lot of other things... ;-)
(Hmmm...I might have read what you were saying the wrong way. Maybe you didn't explicitly mean that fans were in contact with the store and perhaps just that the viewers felt the connection thru the videos and the fetish is done well. In that case I agree! ;D)
sophianz
11-09-2015, 02:58 PM
Yeah I didn't mean in contact at all :)
"Interchange" and "interact" mean different things.
Fans feeling connected to you comes through in your content, you get to a point where they are following up on you, (and budget for your releases) vs. the other way around no matter what amount of updates or whatever.
Its not always about trawling for traffic and numbers, maintaining regular connected customers is another option to think about.
For example:
100 true regular fans purchase a clip every time you release something in your niche...they are ready and waiting for it to come out.
you release say 6 legit high-quality clips per month at say $15 each (not oversaturating your customers and keeping your sanity too)
=$9000 gross per month before C4S cut
Anyone can achieve that if they are looking to go in that direction.

I think you are mixing up mine and lazycat's posts.
All I meant to do was answer the store owner's question as to why I could not explain that success from a neutral point of view, when just looking at the clipstore itself. Just that and not anything else. There is no doubt that it's a successful store and all the traffic in the world wouldn't help if the content were bad or not popular. They found their spot and are doing extraordinarily well compared to other stores. Neither my blog nor me are about the science of clipmaking. I just make clips that I enjoy making, which means less money but more joy. I encourage people to have fun and don't be money focused, as, in my opinion, that's important.
There is science involved though, e.g. clips4sale changed their buy buttons to green because that increases sales. Green = go, red = stop. I would not ignore these things.
They might not be as relevant for top studios, because a small change could "only" make you $100 / month more. But to me and the people I write for, 100$ means a lot. My blog is not aimed at the few stores in the top 50 but at the thousands trying to make it to a regular income.

Yeah I just hit both in the same reply :)
I have been watching this thread for a while so there are various points I am making, not only in reference to the last few posts.
Basic sales techniques are of course not to be ignored I wasnt referring to that, but what works for C4S is different than what works for a producer on C4S:
C4S provide the platform and delivery=are looking at overall ease of purchase no matter which store it comes from.
Producers are looking to monopolize and find a piece of the larger pie...2 different strategies.
You cant deny that being on a beast that big where you are constantly amongst thousands of your competitors means that targeting a core regular fan base would be a legitimate road to travel for a small studio.
Sinna (2pee4you)

Yes, it's what I would also suggest and key to success if you start small /without anyone knowing you. It's not like your fanbase is just there overnight. Which is by the way a struggle other clipsites face, in my opinion. They use the huge category list from c4s and try to populate it, whereas c4s started out with just a handful of categories and built it up over the years.
If I were to rephrase the whole dslaf thing: It's unusual to be up there with 200 clips, just like xev was with around that number. Every studio high up with a low number of clips would probably get people's attention, like Aria Lamar and Daphne's fantasies in the beginning. That's all.
sophianz
11-09-2015, 04:52 PM
Agreed.
However, it is not only about a lot of people knowing you as that comes after you hit success, you have to build success first.
For a beginner starting out wth ambition its ALL about Conversion and Customer Retention as you do not have the luxury of a top 50 platform placement yet.
For example: you could get a mere 100 hits a day and be killing it if 50 of those were coverted to sales...
Here are a few notes on these two techniques for those interested:
"Conversion"
The definition in the MarketingSherpa glossary that appears in MarketingSherpa handbooks defines conversion as, “The point at which a recipient of a marketing message performs a desired action.” In other words, conversion is simply getting someone to respond to your call-to-action.
Getting someone to open an email is a conversion. Having them click on the call-to-action link inside that email is another conversion. Going to the landing page and filling out a registration form to read your content is a conversion. And, of course, buying your product is the ultimate conversion.
"Customer Retention"
Customer retention is the activity that a selling organization undertakes in order to reduce customer defections. Successful customer retention starts with the first contact an organization has with a customer and continues throughout the entire lifetime of a relationship.[1] A company’s ability to attract and retain new customers, is not only related to its product or services, but strongly related to the way it services its existing customers and the reputation it creates within and across the marketplace.
Customer retention is more than giving the customer what they expect, it’s about exceeding their expectations so that they become loyal advocates for your brand. Creating customer loyalty puts ‘customer value rather than maximizing profits and shareholder value at the center of business strategy’.[2] The key differentiation in a competitive environment is often the delivery of a consistently high standard of customer service.
Customer retention has a direct impact on profitability. Research by John Fleming and Jim Asplund indicates that engaged customers generate 1.7 times more revenue than normal customers, while having engaged employees and engaged customers returns a revenue gain of 3.4 times the norm.

Totally agree.
For me, the key to the first success (and building up on that) were just a handful of customers that liked my clips. After my store was banned and I came back, I sent my first email to the 11 customers that were on my c4s mailinglist. Many responded and were happy that I was back. They started buying my clips again. It all started (again) with that list of 11.

So DSLAF is a "head scratcher"?
Definitely not -- you are amazing to me. You have found a unique niche that sells super well and you present it exactly as your audience wants it - you have taken on the BJ studios who use big-name stars to drive sales and are beating them. Head-scratchers are further down the list and I would not name them. They obviously serve some market or have built a fan base from somewhere, but its just not obvious to me.
I'm pretty new to this but I'm quickly learning the name of this game is to find something unique that will stand out from the (very large) crowd. That's the only way you can ultimately make a decent amount of money per hour expended. My videos that have a unique hook outsell my others 10 to 1. The other keys to me are:
- Consistent quality (buyers will become repeat buyers if they see you maintain good quality between clips)
- Consistent posting of videos - for me, at least daily.

clearly semantics is everything -- people clearly have read into my words "mediocre models" and have been offended, which I did not intend. What I *did* mean was there are studios with models that I don't understand what niche they are serving that make them so popular to be a top 30 studio. Hence you're right - I DON"T know their secrets, which was the point of my original post.
I'd love to hear Johnny's story on how he grew his studio (if it was outside or organic).

When you don't have a sale all day and then the "order" email goes one up - unread. You click on it and it's a $2.99 clip. You just earned $1.79. Time to go to bed. Wait. I really should update my store first, even if I am not motivated at all. Okay I'll do it. The upside is, tomorrow should go better. Should :P

Make that a table for 3. lol Yesterday and today just feel a little slow and for no explainable reason. Posted updates both days and usually that means good sales days. I know it's Veterans Day tomorrow but that doesn't usually affect sales. Hmmm....
Sinna (2pee4you)
11-11-2015, 02:37 AM
For me, the best remedy is working even harder and then seeing results the day after. I usually notice that work pays off the day after. Even if I upload a really popular clip around noon, it will often start selling the next day. That is my motivation to work through bad days and update nonetheless. Having no sales is sometimes a great reminder that I slacked off as well. Then I think about it and notice I didn't promote or put in the effort that I usually do and I am glad, because it means I am still my own boss and what I do affects my income directly.
Oh and I noticed that I procrastinate more since I got adult income, because it's such a good excuse to work on that :P

For my store I notice results about 1 day after, sometimes 2 days after. What I will do now is upload clips all at once, but spread their activation hours apart so I reach full potential when it comes to the first page. I had one of my highest earning days ever in 2.5 years the other day. Right after I delivered my baby and checked on my stats, I was in shock how much the previous day uploading paid off. Now I'm out of one niche and on to another, so we'll see how this journey on my C4S store does..

It worked for me as well. First big sale on manyvids and also some sales on c4s that I did not expect. I hope that I make 1 more when I go to sleep, because I like to wake up to a sale :D
However, procrastinated again - but it was worth it. I applied for a payment provider, after that re-wrote the Generate Traffic with Xvideos (http://adult-income.com/generate-traffic-with-xvideos/) article so I could delete the "paid" version - I needed something in the shop for my application. I couldn't sleep because that article was for sale in such a stupid way. Now it's much better, longer and free for everyone. I got inspired by a girl over in another thread and will try to keep the articles free, instead try to cover the costs elsewhere - like I added a donate button :O
I also added a chat to the site, which looks cool and does actually work! Oh, I need to go. I think I'll change the menu structure right away now, because it bugs me. I also might need to open another thread, but when I wanted to do it two days ago, there were so many threads that I didn't dare. I guess adult-income is mostly about c4s, so it's not that off topic after all.
I added a q & a forum so any direct questions about the site can be asked there, instead of here. Oh and I just got another idea, well, I got to go! Sorry for the interruption, my head is just so full at the moment.

OK...here we are again lol...Ladies...PAY ATTENTION!!
First and foremost, CLIPS4SALE IS THE BEST!!!CLIPS4SALE IS DOPE!!! CLIPS4SALE IS AMAZING!!! ok now that we have established that...I see there are some ladies with some questions to my success as well as just how to be successful on c4s period. I will first give you a bit more insight to DSLAF and why I successful
-It all began with me and the main model Dominican Lipz. I released a 3 minute clip on xvideos in 2010 and it became extremely viral, gaining 2 million views in just a week and it ended up on every porn tube site you could think of. It was initially just for fun but seeing the feedback and response from it, we knew we had something special. We released like 3 more videos on tube sites but never showed the cumshot. Then one beautiful day early 2014 I stumbled upon c4s...the rest was history. I am a 1 man army..I recruit, promote, shoot, and pay all expenses on my own. Shoutout to me for that lol...Now, here us why my studio is successful the way it is today
Amateur Content- MY QUALITY IS "LO FI" INTENTIONALLY!!! one thing people need to understand about c4s is that IT IS A FETISH DATABASE, NOT A PORN SITE!! That means that people come here looking to satisfy their cravings for specific fetishes, NOT the best looking porn scene. Also, from my experience, AMATEUR OVER PRO!!! Customers like to feel like it is a real experience they are viewing, not a scripted porn scene. My studio offers this by offering content that looks very homemade from quality to performance. I do edit of course but I leave the video as raw as possible because I want it to look like a video recorded by a regular couple. Customers appreciate seeing a regular looking girl who looks like that girl in the neighborhood they think is cute, as opposed to a pornstar who they view as a fantasy that will never come to life. I've had customers tell me that watching my video gave them courage to approach women. My videos do not look like porn shoots, they look like a regular guy with a big cock getting a bj from a neighborhood girl.
Performers- I most certainly would not be in the position I am in without the amazing performers that are on DSLAF. I believe someone referred to them as "mediocre models" lol....slightly offensive but those "mediocre modes" are the reason why customers come back. In addition, because alot of them are newbies, customers get to see blowjobs by women that they wont see on any website. That is a very big advantage for myself and is what my customers want. I have shot some published pornstars such as Mila Jade and Cherry Hilson, but you'd be suprised at at the fact that published pornstars sell the least on my site.
-Unique Content- There are like 50,000 studios on c4s...you HAVE to stand out. My videos look completely different than anything you're going to see on c4s so once you are a fan of DSLAF, you stay a fan of DSLAF because I offer content in a way that no other studio or site will offer it to you. This includes the angles shot, models used, and complete amateur feel. On clips4sale, unique content>professional content. The positioning that I am in during video can be extremely difficult to maintain while attempting to capture a steady video, especially the cumshot part. However, Suge Didddy(my stagename) gets it done lol
Promotion- VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT. LAW OF AVERAGE- MORE=MORE. The more people who know about your studio, the more potential buyers. I promote the shit out of DSLAF. Social media, tube sites, and fetish forums are all used to promote DSLAF. Because I have established a fanbase, I do not promote AS MUCH as I used to. But I used to spend at least 50 hours promoting DSLAF weekly when I was trying to establish DSLAF.
-Camera Cock. Thank God for this thing lol. 8.5 inches, very thick, perfectly shaped(base to rip ratio is perfect), and it curves upwards which is what makes it look even more like a "horse dick". Honestly I don;t know if I would be as successful with a lesser cock. You'd be suprised how much the cock has an impact on the appeal of your content. Of course there is a small cock fetish, but as far as the demographic I am catering to, the bigger the cock the better. I also give very good cumshots, which is also very important. I am even able to give a cumshot, and still perform with a good erection after a cumshot, which is demonstrated in my "BJ After Facial" or "2 Facials" scenes. I do not use pills, creams or anything...100% natural
I KNOW MY FANS- this is probably the most important part of my success. I know what my fans want to see....DO NOT GET CAUGHT ON HAVING AS MANY UPDATES AS POSSIBLE. An update is no good if it isn't selling well..and when you update with a clip that doesnt sell well, it effects your ranking. If you have consistent updates that all sell well, your ranking will rise even if your clip doesnt make the top 50. Of course making the top 50 helps a bunch. Of course, you must go through trail and error to learn what it is that your fans want. To this day, I email my fans and ask them what would they like to see on DSLAF, from angles to style of blowjobs to appearance of model.
At the end of the day, my studio is extremely unique from competing studios and sites. Many of my fans transitioned from mainstream sites such as oralqueens.com to my studio, for the fact that I offer something very different. I go out of my way to understand my fans and deliver what they ask for.

TIPS FROM SUGE DIDDY
Here are some things I want you to keep in mind with your studio
SALES INCREASE DRAMATICALLY ONCE YOU ARE IN THE TOP 50. Even once you make it to #50, you will notice your sales immediately increase DRAMATICALLY. With that being said, until you are in the Top 50, that should be the ultimate goal for your studio. Even being #1 in a category is nothing compared to being in the Top 50 overall.
-BE UNIQUE- it's not what you do, it's how you do it. It's very important to make customers know that they can ONLY get your type of content on YOUR STUDIO. Of course there will be many studios in the same category but if your content stands out, you will rise above the competition. You want people to go to your studio and say "damn i havent seen anything like this before"
-GIVE CUSTOMERS A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE- clips4sale customers like a personal experience...I feel like most customers come to clips4sale specifically for that reason, because mainstream porn sites are too "cliche". I love Brazzers but you don't get a personal experience with Brazzers, you get good porn.
-PROMOTE PROMOTE PROMOTE- Where to promote? EVERYWHERE! The more people who know about your studio, the more potential buyers. As I stated in my last post, I used to spend a ridiculous amount of time promoting DSLAF which adds to the reason why I am ranked so high with a low amount of videos. Clips4sale does have its own traffic but not enough to be a supplement to your own traffic. In this age of social media and tube sites..you can get your studio out there pretty easily if you have the patience and ambition. I was on every tube site/social media site you could think of promoting my studio
GOOD PREVIEW IMAGE- Now this is something that def makes a difference. This is also a trail and error kin of thing. Having a good preview image can have a direct impact on if a customer buys your clip. I create gifs for my preview image, but it is not necessary. However, I will say that I noticed an increase in sales from when I was using the clips4sale generated image.
-STOP FOCUSING ON QUALITY- I see people in here talking about cameras, resolution etc. etc....honestly all of that shit is not important in the beginning. I was using an HTC One M7 to record my videos in the first months of my studio...yep, a cell phone.....quality matters but you are putting too much focus on it....this is something that you worry about AFTER other aspects of your studio which are more important.
CONSISTENTLY GOOD UPDATES- people people, do not think that the more you update, the more chance of success. FALSE. Now what is TRUE is that you must have CONSISTENTLY GOOD UPDATES. You have to remember that the top studios have a very set fanbase that expect a good scene everytime that studio updates. The only way to get that set fanbase is for them to be satisfied EVERYTIME they buy one of your videos. Remember, ALL Studios are going against paysites that offer $19.99-$29.99 memberships to ALL of their content. So, for someone to possibly pay that for one video, they want to know that they are going to be satisfied.
KNOW WHAT THE FANS WANT- Here is a good way to do this if you are without a fanbase....go to xvideos or whatever preferred tube site, go to the category closest to your content, and then check out the "most viewed" videos in that category. Study these videos, BUT DO NOT MIMIC. Keep your own style of whatever you're doing but also keep in mind the type of stuff people want to see. In addition, on clips4sale there is an Emails tab where you can email customers who have subscribed to you. USE THIS! Ask them for feedback as well as request for future content.

Thank you Johnny for your tips! According to your own words then should you be thankful with xvideos too? It worths it upload some trailers there?
Another question, what is your criteria at the set price time? If it's not much to ask.

I love Brazzers but you don't get a personal experience with Brazzers, you get good porn.
-PROMOTE PROMOTE PROMOTE- Where to promote? EVERYWHERE! The more people who know about your studio, the more potential buyers. As I stated in my last post, I used to spend a ridiculous amount of time promoting DSLAF which adds to the reason why I am ranked so high with a low amount of videos. Clips4sale does have its own traffic but not enough to be a supplement to your own traffic. In this age of social media and tube sites..you can get your studio out there pretty easily if you have the patience and ambition. I was on every tube site/social media site you could think of promoting my studio
GOOD PREVIEW IMAGE- Now this is something that def makes a difference. This is also a trail and error kin of thing. Having a good preview image can have a direct impact on if a customer buys your clip. I create gifs for my preview image, but it is not necessary. However, I will say that I noticed an increase in sales from when I was using the clips4sale generated image.
-STOP FOCUSING ON QUALITY- I see people in here talking about cameras, resolution etc. etc....honestly all of that shit is not important in the beginning. I was using an HTC One M7 to record my videos in the first months of my studio...yep, a cell phone.....quality matters but you are putting too much focus on it....this is something that you worry about AFTER other aspects of your studio which are more important.
CONSISTENTLY GOOD UPDATES- people people, do not think that the more you update, the more chance of success. FALSE. Now what is TRUE is that you must have CONSISTENTLY GOOD UPDATES. You have to remember that the top studios have a very set fanbase that expect a good scene everytime that studio updates. The only way to get that set fanbase is for them to be satisfied EVERYTIME they buy one of your videos. Remember, ALL Studios are going against paysites that offer $19.99-$29.99 memberships to ALL of their content. So, for someone to possibly pay that for one video, they want to know that they are going to be satisfied.
KNOW WHAT THE FANS WANT- Here is a good way to do this if you are without a fanbase....go to xvideos or whatever preferred tube site, go to the category closest to your content, and then check out the "most viewed" videos in that category. Study these videos, BUT DO NOT MIMIC. Keep your own style of whatever you're doing but also keep in mind the type of stuff people want to see. In addition, on clips4sale there is an Emails tab where you can email customers who have subscribed to you. USE THIS! Ask them for feedback as well as request for future content.
My personal pick here is "It's HOW you do it, not WHAT you do". Perfect! Seriously... Once you find your unique edge, things start flowing a little smooth and people see you as a great content creator and someone they don't mind buying clips from.

I just read this article about the Clips ON Demand Roku streaming app for fetish clips!
Read the article here: http://roku-adult.com/clips-on-demand-roku-adult-channel-gearing-up-for-roku-4-4k/
Also, they say in the article that they are looking for HD content so they are encouraging models/producers to contact them!!
The URL for contacting them about this is: http://clipsondemand.xxx/studio_register.htm
I also read in the article that they are thinking of doing a LIVE streaming section of the app as well as selling clips. I wonder how that will work? Will they still be able to tip us and to interact somehow??
I'm intruiged....
Just thought I'd share, since the article came out in May of this year!

Lots of great tips I agree with, some are more true for everyone else than others. I love that you went out of your way and gave a lot of inside information, most of it really spot on in my opinion. Just want to add (yes, I am a little cautious) two things from my experience:
If you expect to explode in sales now when you enter the top 50 - that does not have to be the case. It wasn't for me. Well, in he beginning it felt like it, but it might have just been the other way round: your sales increased anyways, so when you entered the top 50, they continued increasing. Not because of the top 50, but because you were getting more customers anyway. If it were true that the top 50 rank increased your sales A LOT and you would just go on and on, you should never leave the top 50 again - as your sales should only increase from the point you enter.
I personally continued on the same level and with good content, but eventually there can be a day when, for no apparent reason, you don't make sales. I was in the top 20-40 for 2 months, every day went well, then I made $10 one day. Just like that. I didn't slack in updates or did anything unusual. I actually thought my store was unavailable at first, but it wasn't.
The top 50 position is based on 7 days of income. I think currently you enter at #50 around $1450. Two years ago that was $1100 but I also entered with around $1300 a few months ago. So that changes a little from time to time. The thing is, 1 bad day can cost you big time, because that 1 day will be added as 1 of 7 days for a whole week. If you somehow "survive" that one day and stay somewhere lower in the top 50, you might be able to get back. But you could also drop out. And then a whole lot of drama could start for you, because it's not "easy" to get in. At least for most of the studios. But you will want to get back and then you start to focus on the money and sales and lose the fun and that can be a downfall that I try to warn about basically all the time. Sometimes less is more, even with money. That's my personal opinion obviously.
Even top 5 studios from a year ago have completely left the top 50. I think no one is save from that. Either you get confident and do less and fall off slowly or you get ill or you have personal things (like a pregnancy) keeping you from going on and on. It can be tough to get over the fact that you work MORE and get 1/5 of what you used to get. But you'll have to work through it to get back on track and that's where a lot of studio owners fail because of the huge demotivation they can't overcome.
We see the top 50 studios and think once we get there, everything will be alright. But it can be a huge trap that can destroy your business within weeks. I know I am being very negative about it and I wish no one would ever drop out, but there are only 50 spots and everyone is more or less pushing to get in. So it's tough and it can take the motivation that you need to go on every day. Hm, I just wanted to write one sentence.
That one other thing, in short: Understand your customers and give them what they want. Ask them what they would like to see etc. I did that. It's awesome. At first. Only one example (I think I mentioned that somewhere). I do a sock pee clip, 5 people love socks and pee so they buy it. 1 writes to me, he wants shorter socks. I publish a clip with shorter socks, 5 people buy it. One writes, he wants thick black socks. I make a clip, 4 people buy it. The one guy that wants shorter socks is not interested anymore. One guy writes, he loves white socks more. I do a white socks clip with short socks - to please the other guy as well. I sell it 4 times. A customer asks, do you have raffled socks. I make a raffled clip. I sell it 3 times, the black socks and short socks guy are not interested. They both send me their wishes for more clips instead. I now have a short, raffled and black sock fan sending me 3 wishes and buying none of my other sock clips anymore. So the pressure is high and everyone expects to get their wish fulfilled - after all, I asked them to tell me their wishes.
Sales go down and I think, wait, I'll make a usual sock clip again. That used to sell 5 times. It sells? Right, 2 times. The raffled, black thick and short sock guy are waiting for their respective clips instead. They don't want to buy "normal" sock clips anymore. Then I get an email from another sock guy.. and I don't even want to open it. Yes, he wants toe socks. So now I got 5 different sock customers that all used to buy 1 clip 5 times. Except now, they will buy 5 clips 1 time. That is 5 times the amount of clips I have to make for the same amount of money - and this never stops. It does not only happen to your sock clips, but to your panty, hair style, pussy shaved / not shaved, nails polished / unpolished, color of your pants, capri jeans, shorts, etc. etc. etc.
So that's the other thing I want to tell you about. Which can also drain your energy. You work more but earn less and you could drop down from the toplists - and never get back up. It's a double, triple, quadruple demotivation that can get you so far down that you get to a point where you don't know what to do anymore. Well, I guess you could change the category all together, but that was not an option in my case.
I had to fight really hard to make anything work at that point. I celebrated every sale - like I used to in the beginning. I had to learn to enjoy myself again and don't care about the money. Learn to do my own thing again and not be pushed around, used and abused for people's satisfaction (and I am not a feminist, but you learn how tough this business really can be).
I understand the customer. Why would I buy a black sock clip if I want cute white raffled ones - I rather wait for those to appear. And in the meantime, I ask the next studio for the white raffled one (which can show you how replaceable you are, when you can't deliver because you are stuffed with wishes and then you see the very same request show up in another studio, that's still fresh and fulfills the wish with ease).
It's a tough tough business and there are many things you only learn in hindsight. One of the main reasons I started to write about it. I don't want to see the girls suffer that work so hard to earn their living. If I had known when I started what I know now, I am pretty sure I would surf around somewhere in the top 50 as well.
Great job to dslaf though, the owner knows all the right things and I wish you, suge diddy, all the best and please stay true to yourself. Customers opinions are important, but it's even more important to draw the line at some point, because it could very well end your business. As you said:
"Keep your own style of whatever you're doing but also keep in mind the type of stuff people want to see" Keep it in mind - but DO YOUR thing, don't try to do theirs.
Of course these "traps" apply more to certain categories than others. The popularity of the category is very important as well. I just meant to post this as a reminder of what can happen and that you should be careful out there. Those are sadly not the only traps. I want to cover these as much as I can in my advanced guide, which is a nice draft already and my next big project..

I know we all have our own experiences with selling on C4S and I just wanted to add my 2 cents in regards to the 'give your customers what they want' topic.
For me personally, my most loyal customers (and the ones that spend the most) never email me with their ideas for clips, but still continue to come back and buy from me. BUT, some of the CHEAPEST guys (even those who have the nerve to contact me and they've never bought a damn thing! lol) seem to be the most demanding and vocal about what they want. Time and time again this has proven to be true (for me). I don't cater to them. Give them what they want--hell no! lol Then they'll just come back even more demanding.
I really enjoy the fetishes I do and I think that comes across in my clips and I'm not interested in taking requests because that would lessen my enjoyment. So do I cater to the customers (personally)? Nope! But do my clips still sell well? Yup! I ENJOY what I do and I think that is what guys look for when buying a clip of their fetish...that it feels genuine.
This is only MY experience and if YOU like to cater to the customer and it works for YOU, then by all means, keep on doing that. Just don't feel you *have* to. I think as long as you are doing the fetish well, you're good. But again, this is only my opinion.

This is my experience as well. I have a few main sites and I have the customers on each site that buy all of my new videos, but have never spoken to me once. I do take video suggestions, it gets tough coming up with stuff on your own, but the ones that email me admit they've never bought from me before. I ONLY make videos that I am interested in doing. About 3 of my regulars will send me ideas for videos and they sell so fucking well. The rest of them send me "suggestions" that are really custom videos that they think they can get for $1 a minute.
I dont WANT to talk to my customers. Most of them are so fucking stupid I want to bang my head on the wall. I enjoy not socializing with them and not making connections. Hell, I'd get rid of my twitter altogether to avoid them even further if I knew that it wouldn't matter.
I don't think there's any clear cut way of working on C4S. I do think there are some really great ways to make money and really get the most out of it, but for a lot of people the advice doesn't really work for them.

"For me personally, my most loyal customers (and the ones that spend the most) never email me with their ideas for clips, but still continue to come back and buy from me."
That was true for me as well. When I got "deeper" into the requests spiral, they stopped coming, which was the other big problem. Because they liked with I did, not what I did for others. So I can only warn about that. Back in the day, I thought Tara Tainton was doing requests for free as well (I think she does) so I thought I'd be fine (she was #1 basically all the time).
In hindsight, I should have just done my thing and taken on "requests" as mere suggestions. I do a little bit of both now. When you make 5 clips / day and 4 of them are requests, you have 4 guaranteed sales. And that was huge for me back then, when I was trying to make 1 sale every day. I did not see the consequences until it was too late.
Charging for customs and not taking requests could have been another solution. I am/was not business enough for that I guess. I am/was just a shy girl that got into this because she is into something and people seemed to enjoy that. I am working my way back now, having learned. It cost me a lot to learn my lessons and like you say, I am not done yet. You learn every day in c4s, but you sometimes see the big picture too late. As I write on the blog, you can (if you want) learn from my mistakes and lucky for you, I made a LOT :P
I miss those guys that never contacted me but bought everything. Those are really awesome customers, I have none of them since a long time. Some of them surely are helping some other girl get on her feet right now. I can absolutely agree that the customers spending most are the silent types while the guys that write pages of scripts and emails often take months to buy even 1 clip and then it's about 5$. Then they write a page of feedback about that clip that they want you to go into. It's just a lot of work. They suck out your energy and time and I had to cut that down as well, as it was seriously affecting me to have so much emailing going on.
So it's good to hear that you two are doing your thing.

I just wanted to add my two cents about requests–actually, it's someone else's two cents so I guess I'm just passing around some coins, LOL. I believe it was Isobel Wren who I got this tip from (though I'm sure it's an idea lots of others have had). For the requests that you want to do, tell them you will put it on your list. Release it later and describe it as a custom request (which it was, just without the custom payment, LOL). The requestor gets what they want. . . eventually (if they also really wanted it when they wanted it, they should have paid for a custom). You get to have a few ideas in your pocket for when you need it and you also advertise/remind everyone of the fact that you accept customs and are also popular enough that people are seeking you out with their ideas/requests. (social proof with a bit of spin). No one needs to know they didn't pay, and maybe just maybe the person with the idea will next time think about ponying up to get the idea filmed sooner (doubtful but it happens).
Sinna, I am super psyched you made that article free! I was about to buy it night before last but after all day editing/listing I just couldn't deal with the payment check out forms. (Not cheap just very lazy.) Glad to know you put up a donate button–I will look for it next time I visit your blog (I have to be careful when I'm working, I get too sucked into it!)

Hi everyone.
In our case if the suggestion is compatible with what we usually sale in a certain level (something that we think "this can be bought for other customers") or if there are several similar suggestions or that can be mixed in one clip (something that we think "this can be bought for several people who suggested") then we give it the "green light".
But when the suggestion is way far from our usual kind of "top" sales (our sales are still going up slowly) or if is not allowed by C4S then we "counter suggest" the customer pay a custom!
Kisses.

1. 10th and 11th November. I've updated with 14 new clips every day at XX:58*M. I have ~900 visits daily, 0 sales.
2. 12th and 13th November. I've updated with 14 new clips every day at XX:04*M. I have ~380 visits daily, 0 sales.
14th and 15th November. I'll update with 14 new clips every day at XX:25*M.

I think what's super important about Clips4sale is having a great conversion rate. Meaning... you upload 1 video (or 2-5 a day like me sometimes) and I sell about every clip X amount of times. If you're getting 900 hits but no sales, then it's time to really see what's going on that is causing your sales to tank. About a year ago I got around 400-700 unique daily but had such a low conversion rate. This year my conversion rate is 5x higher. This took a whole year to really dedicate my effort into fixing what was causing some of the issues on people not purchasing from my store.

Hi guys! Here is an update about my progress on C4s, some comments about what have been said in the last days and a few questions:
Beeing clip of the day 2 times haven't changed anything, as I anticipated.
My sales are slowly climbing... usual week day used to be between 25-30$ and week-end days 45-65$. Now on week days I usually make between 30-45$ and for the last 2 week-ends I've been making 80-130$ per day. I'm very pleased with this progress! Meanwhile I've been making pennies of Iwantclips and Manyvids (more on Manyvids supprisingly).
I've been pretty exhausted in the last weeks... I was going pretty much nowhere, trying too many fetishes at the same time, posting 4-5 vids a day. I read all the good advices and now I try to calm down... Yes I want to make money but if I get sick while working too hard this is not worth it. I'll work smarter not harder. I try to repeat this in my head like a mantra... smarter not harder!
I've noticed my hits are similar or lower compared to last month but I've made more money so far compared to last month. I'm hoping it's because I make a lot of effort to create a good gif preview and write a good description for the clip. Also having more and more clips help, I get more big orders.
Most of the time I love when customers write to me. I love knowing if they like what I'm doing. When I answer to their email I always ask them one or more questions. I encourage them to share ideas for future clips, ask them if I could improve things in my vids, ask them if lenght of clip is important to them, etc. Since I don't always share their fetish sometimes I'm clueless about certain details that can be important to them. So I'm hoping to learn things from them. Yes I always check what others are doing for inspiration but I can miss something cause I only get to see the gif and read the description.
I had a few guys writing to me to share ideas that are in fact a custom vid request. I know they don't want to pay for a custom. If I think it will sell I will do it but wait a few weeks before to post the clip because I don't want the guy to think I'll do everything he suggests. If I think it won't sell I wait even longer or don't do it and who knows, maybe the guys will decide to finally pay for his custom.
Have you guys heard about ClipDrone? Anybody used it? You like it or not?
Have you ever reported studios for rule violations? I see stuff that is not allowed all the time: girls showing brown, posting the same vid 3-4 times a few weeks appart and only adding the letter a, aa, b, bb in the title, girls swallowing live gold fish, etc. I'm trying to make money while following the rules and some studios are probably making more and breaking the rules. It's just not fair. But I would not be suprised if c4s doesn't care.

Quite a few websites do NOT like/support ClipDrone, meaning it's against policy to give your password out and let someone else log into your account, which is essentially what ClipDrone does to upload your clips. You risk getting your accounts banned on places like Niteflirt. Clips4Sale also does not support ClipDrone, there was a post that was made about it on FetLife.

I swear we're twins. I have been having some wonderful days on Clips4sale. My motto was seriously worker smarter, not harder. I have yet to do a custom this month and things are going well without needing that extra income. I don't mind customs here and there. However, I feel it messes with my creativity to really be myself. I will do maybe 1-2 a month, but this month I just don't want to focus on customs first before my usual clips. I still have handful of "suggestions" sitting in my inbox. I did make a couple suggestions over the summer but they didn't sell. I have a regular that DID buy all my suggestions. Just one out of the handful of guys messaging me. Go figure. So I will take their suggestions and twist it a bit so it's not exactly what they were wanting for a cheap price. I tend to put things on my store that pertain to what has sold in the past mixed with some new creative ideas.
I'll often be in the shower or doing dishes and BAM it hits me of a new idea for a clip. I love the creativity. I used to follow other stores and what they did when I started. I felt like I was being a copycat to get some ideas.

Have any of you tried any actual downloadable software at home to try and keep track of your pirated stuff? Check out a few services online and tell me what you think. It looks great to me bc I won't have to waste time doing all the searching and sending complaints and warnings myself.... Whatever saves time, translates into money earning potential! I saw one service that sends you your anti-piracy software in the mail, and when you recieve it, you install it on your computer. Then you can tell the program what to look for on a daily basis, and it does all the searching for you, sends the DMCA requests for take-downs, and actually takes care of the entire process for you. Watch their video on their site about how it works. This seems like a really great option for those of us that don't want to spend a million years trying to search for our pirated content online....
cammodelprotection.com seems like it might be legit, and I don't think you have to download any software

Personally, I think trying less fetishes and building up a following in those categories is the way to go and then branch out from there. But as with everything, do what works for you. Also, if you are shooting less clips, you might find that you have more energy and creativity to put towards the ones you do shoot.

It has been a while since I filmed or uploaded to ANY sites. I had a few clips left over and scheduled them for future release before I jumped into dancing full time. I just haven't had the time or energy for new content so clips have been random money. I'm surprised that I'm still making occasional sales with no updating. This week I had a random surge in sales that made me want to start clips again.
Sinna is absolutely correct when she says you need to be worried more about enjoying making the content over money. All the clips I have recently sold were random videos that were some of my personal favorites. My gameplan has changed. I want to have fun this time. I'm only going to do one day of filming. My favorite fetishes. Treat it more like my hobby. That way it isn't a big deal to me if I'm not super successful.

How can I be in top-clips rating?
I have 8 unique videos (~20 minutes each) which nobody will be able to shoot in future.

Is anyone else noticing the Clips4Sale site is not displaying correctly today?? I'm getting a text only version of the site, but other sites display just fine. So I think this is a C4S issue.
