My c4s works fine and looks good. Sales in the category seem to be down though. I got an email yesterday that is an instant classic:
A while back, I had requested for a free video of you having to do with [...], and you said you were unwilling. I would be extremely grateful if you were willing to make such a free video now. If now, I would also request a video having to do with [...], as that is a big turn-on for me too.

You know, I wonder if it *is* just me.... Comcast has been bugging me about updating my modem and I've put it off because it worked just fine. Until today. Stuff is loading s-l-o-w and I can't get the C4S page to display correctly. So, I'll finally be getting a new modem today.
And that email! lol Oh yes, let me get right on that! Because it would be 'a big turn-on' for you and you would be 'extremely grateful'. GTFO! Free videos don't pay the bills. These guys and their self-entitled BS, I tell ya.....

Well I understand the free request. But I find that "oh and while you are at it, make this as well" a little too much, especially when I had said no the last time.

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.
I've been choosing random categories in my store and so far I have 2 categories where the text of my clips don't show... really weird. Here is what I see:

Wait, what? So him asking for a free video is okay? I'm confused....
Last time I checked, the site was called Clips4SALE not Clips4FREE. If guys can get something for free, they aren't going to pay. And I've heard all of the lines before... "I'm a good customer" (I check their sales history....they've bought 5 clips in the past year. Hmmm..... We have different definitions of 'good'). "If you do this for me, I'll buy more of your clips in the future". No, if I do this for you, you won't buy s**t because you know you can get what you want for FREE. Or, the opposite and they threaten not to buy any more clips OR the clips producer is afraid to lose them as a customer. Like I've said before, guys who want your product will PAY for it.
I know, I know. We all do business differently. But I just feel if you give the product away (or price it too cheaply) or don't charge for customs, when their 'request' very clearly is, it just devalues the product. Each one of us is producing unique fetish content that they can only get from us. It's not like they can buy the SAME EXACT THING elsewhere, they can't. They can buy something *similar* from someone else, but it won't be YOU or your unique take on whatever fetish/fetishes that you do.
(Sinna, this isn't directed at you, so don't take it that way.) I just can't stand cheap f**kers! lol And then if they get away with it with ONE person, the next woman has to hear "Well OTHER models have done this for me before". Ugh! :-(

So, does anyone charge for custom videos per min? Someone had asked me to make a custom video for them and I charging them 5.99 per min. I was wondering if anyone else is charging per min?

I have sold ~70 minutes in 2014.

I now charge $100 minimum for my customs, doesn't matter even if the video is 90 seconds. It goes up from there depending on length and complexity.
Lessons I have learned.
1. Promise of future tributes or payments are lies. I got burned bad on a custom the guy "promised" to pay for if I could get it done in a week before he got paid. He even had the nerve to email me a few days later wanting another custom done the same way.
2. Being nice and making a custom style clip for free. The guys get demanding when you don't make more. And I love the "I won't have my friends buy the clips anymore". You look at the sales history and they are the ONLY one to buy it. What I try to do now is just take suggestions. And it can take me months to get them done. If they want it sooner they should pay.

All of my customers know that I will NOT make a video before it's been paid for in full. If they order it through my email, they have to tribute for it before I will begin filming it. I use the custom video forms on IWC and C4U occasionally. They both pay for the video before I make it, so I don't have to worry about being ripped off. No one has ever told me no when I said the video has to be paid for before I will make it. Sometimes they even send extra!
One of the things you learn when you make videos or cam is to never ever ever do anything or send anything before they have made payment.
I only ever take and make video suggestions when I like the idea and think it will sell well. If it's a video I don't mind doing I'll make it, but if is too specific and I don't think it will sell well I tell them to use my custom video form. Those people never end up buying it as a custom video and I never hear from them again. Only once or twice have I gotten a suggestion and made it and either had only the one person buy it or no one ever buy it. I should probably add on $5 or $10 when I take suggestions, but right now it's not been an issue for me.

I asked for some help figuring out what I was doing wrong with my clips4sale. Everyone told me try different formats different backgrounds and updating. I have tried all this and updating almost every single day, yet I still only make 20 bucks a month...I don't understand what is wrong...I don't think I have a banner not sure how to do that, and I don't have a members area or the thing were they can instantly stream the vids, could this be my problem? I don't expect to make a ton of money, but I thought I might at least get an extra hundred or so a month. Not sure if i'm missing something, or i'm just not popular because there are a million other clips with cuter girls than me. My store number is 95911 if someone wants to look again and has any new suggestions would be happy to try ANYTHING.

Possibly, they want HQ videos, but not 640x480. Try to shoot on FullHD camera, please.

If you have enabled feedback from the add-ons, you get a link in your home tab "click here to view feedbacks" on top of the news banners (like piracy report). Click it to read the feedbacks. It won't light up if you have new feedback, you have to remember it. It's pretty out-dated. Look at this screenshot:

Stick to a format or two. I'd suggest 1280 * 720 or 1920 * 1080 as HD and one lower quality, like 640 * 360. Keep your updates up. Try to get your preview gifs to show you in a perfect way in the FIRST picture. That is what everyone will see when they hover with the mouse over your clip updates. The whole gif is important as well, but the first picture is most important. One thing that could be a niche or something, but if I am totally honest: You don't look like you are enjoying yourself in some of the gifs. You know, like you are busy or bored. Sometimes I miss a smile or an enticing look. I hope you understand what I mean, this is just a personal feeling and you asked for ANYTHING, so I thought I'd mention how it felt for me.
Does anyone know if its possible to upload the preview video and use it instead of using their video preview maker? There is a preview directory on ftp but it's actually the gif in the clip upload form.
That's not possible afaik. I tried that in the past.
If it's a video I don't mind doing I'll make it, but if is too specific and I don't think it will sell well I tell them to use my custom video form. Those people never end up buying it as a custom video and I never hear from them again.
When some guy wanted something really complex for $20, I told him to fill in the custom form at my custom store and tell me the result. It was $500+. I just wanted him to notice that his wishes were a little too complex. Never heard from him again either. And I think I have $5 / minute on that form, so not the $10 some here charge.
"I won't have my friends buy the clips anymore". You look at the sales history and they are the ONLY one to buy it. What I try to do now is just take suggestions. And it can take me months to get them done. If they want it sooner they should pay.
I handle it a little like that. I won't be pushed around anymore. Yesterday a guy told me to do some complex clip with multiple camera angles for $20, because he had 12 other models doing these for $20 at the moment. I did not tell him that I don't charge for requests, I just told him that I won't be able to do it but I hope any of the 12 models are up for it. I also told him that I know from you girls that you take up to $10 / minute. It's so unabashed that you offer free requests and they even try to squeeze you.
Wait, what? So him asking for a free video is okay? I'm confused....
Let's say I can understand that he asks. One can try, right? I make free requests but I don't make free clips. There are pro's and con's to free requests and I found a lot of con's over the years that others can learn from as soon as I finish that article :P
I've been choosing random categories in my store and so far I have 2 categories where the text of my clips don't show... really weird. Here is what I see:

Your stuff is mainly relatively vanilla (solo masturbation, dildos, blowjobs etc). I know you have a couple of foot fetish vids in there, but it's mainly vanilla content and of all the fetishes, foot fetish is probably the hardest to succeed at on c4s because it's so oversaturated. Vanilla doesn't really sell on c4s, try Manyvids for selling vanilla content. Try and explore some new fetishes on clips4sale, such as burping, sneezing, humiliation etc (if you're comfortable with those of course). My vanilla stuff sells like a couple of times on c4s, my fetish stuff sells hundreds of copies every time.

Had a quick look and at the top of the page is a image with the text "HUGE FOOT FETISH" on it and yet scrolling through your videos, that clearly isn't the focus. So I would either change that image, it's misleading, or focus more on foot fetish stuff. And also, I'd remove the text: "Please buy my videos and I am not too hard to find", as it sounds a little....desperate.
Otherwise I agree with Luna66's comments. Clips4sale IS fetish oriented and I saw a lot of vanilla type content in your store. And the thing about fetish stuff is that you don't always have to be nude or masturbating for that. In fact.....there are some fetishes where guys don't want to see that.

I would also add a darker background, something that tiles well (seamless) and is high res so it's not just a white background. Really bright colors are kind of off putting. Maybe you could make a small header for the top of your studio with a nice photo and some information like twitter account and/or email address.
You should look around in the categories on C4S and find some that sound interesting. Check them out to make sure people update them and try those categories out. Maybe that will do better than just vanilla videos.
You're on MFC, so you could probably advertise your twitter a little better and get some more followers so you can market your videos. I wouldn't let ManyVids auto tweet all of your new videos on your timeline. Most people hate a lot of spam and won't follow you. Instead you can manually tweet with a screenshot of the video and links to the video from MV and C4S. You're more likely to get people to look at your tweets then.
You can get this GIF maker (http://download.cnet.com/Free-Video-to-GIF-Converter/3000-2186_4-75628588.html) and make a 5-10 second long gif instead of using C4S gif generator. I would also shut off video previews.

What isn't vanilla? I tried just picking categories all over i've done odd insertions, fucking my high heels, shaving, smoking, pussy smoking, babyoil, whipped cream, ice, suck and lick my own feet, pantyhose, yoga pants, bondage, spanking, pantystuffing, multi panty stuffing, bubbles I guess I thought all of those were not vanilla since they weren't like regular play with a toy and cum. But then again maybe I need to get crazier? Or maybe my fetish stuff is just getting lost in all my vanilla ones?

Well, only one of those things you mentioned has to do with feet and yet that graphic at the top of your store states HUGE FOOT FETISH. So.....? You aren't really catering to that and there are SO many areas/categories you could do.....dangling, bare feet, toe pointing, socks, high heels, foot domination, toe polishing, pedal pumping, wrinkled soles, toe spreading, crush fetish and I could go on! There is a lot of overlap with those categories, meaning a guy who likes toe pointing might also be into wrinkled soles and dangling, etc. I think it's harder to build up a following when you are doing too many different categories at once.
It's not that you need to get crazier, you just need to narrow your focus a bit and *perhaps* try and focus more on fetish stuff and less vanilla stuff. I mean, guys can find regular porn for free, pretty much everywhere. They go to C4S to get their fetish fix.

You know to highlight your main niche :) Focus less on Vanilla and more on fetish stuff :) Pick something that turns you on and highlight that. Maybe you should do clips for least known fetishes such as fire play or mental domination. Or anything that interested you. In addition, you can follow Sinna's website as well. She gave me great advice;D

Hi Promised, I haven't read the other replies to you but this is what strikes me:
I like a white background too but I go for black on white. I'm in my 40's, as are lots of customers, and I'm used to office work, again like many of them...we find it easier on the eye to read black on white and it's what we're used to. Trying to read white on black for instance, drives me insane. There was a recent thread on Fetlife about this too in the C4S group.
I find your gifs a bit slow moving, is it possible to speed them up? If you're using the C4S gif maker I would switch to making your own. I use still images and photoscape.
I would recommend using an HD mic, I have a Blue Snowball and it makes a huge difference.
I wouldn't use the previews unless there's something you specifically want to show that isn't in the gif...I use mine so they can hear my voice.
I know the top studios are really graphic in their gifs but I personally like to show as little nudity as possible in my gifs...I don't know if that works for or against me but you could try experimenting with that, and you could use a single image if need be.
How you describe yourself and the pic you use at the top is important...how do you want your customers to see you? What can they expect from you? what is your personna?
I would use the featured clips facility. It at least adds some more activity next to your best selling list.
Just some ideas :)

About GIFs.
I use automatic GIF making from command line.
Each GIF after many steps.
Step1. Cutting 6 scenes (each 00:00:05) from source file #0.
Step2. Merge them in one video file #1.
Step3. Generating HQ palette for this file #1.
Step4. Generating HQ gif from selected file #1 using his original HQ palette.
Using this method in CMD.exe enviroment i've done 600 HQ gifs in 20 minutes!!!
Each GIF has 160 pages 320x180 and size from 4100Kbytes til 7600Kbytes.
Warning.
My PC: Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3, Asus X99WS/IPMI, 8*16GB DDR4 ECC 1866, 4 SAS 15K, 4 SSD 512Gb.
Thanks.
If You have slow PC You need 4-5 hours to make 1000 GIFs with method.
How to do it.
1. Place all source videos on very fast SSD or raid0/raid5/raid6 in one directory.
I use raid6 12*4TB Hitachi UltraStar.
2. Decide how much scenes You want to cut from videos.
3. Decide how much minutes for each scene You want to cut.
4. Use extremely-fast SSD or raid for output.
I use 108GB RAM Disk or raid0 of two SSD 512GB.
5. On destination make directory tree, as example for 5 scenes.
e:\ia\
e:\ia\sce
6. Compile bat file with strings for every source file
ffmpeg -y -ss 00:00:15 -i input.avi -t 00:00:03 -vcodec copy -an e:\ia\sce\1scene.avi & ffmpeg -y -ss 00:01:35 -i input.avi -t 00:00:03 -vcodec copy -an e:\ia\sce\2scene.avi & ffmpeg -y -ss 00:02:45 -i input.avi -t 00:00:03 -vcodec copy -an e:\ia\sce\3scene.avi & ffmpeg -y -ss 00:03:45 -i input.avi -t 00:00:03 -vcodec copy -an e:\ia\sce\4scene.avi & ffmpeg -y -ss 00:04:35 -i input.avi -t 00:00:03 -vcodec copy -an e:\ia\sce\5scene.avi & ffmpeg -i concat:"e:\ia\sce\1scene.avi|e:\ia\sce\2scene.avi|e:\ia\sc e\3scene.avi|e:\ia\sce\4scene.avi|e:\ia\sce\5scene .avi" -vcodec copy -an e:\ia\out.avi & del /q e:\ia\sce\* & ffmpeg -y -i e:\ia\out.avi -vf fps=10,scale=192:108:flags=lanczos,palettegen z:\tmp\out.png & ffmpeg -i e:\ia\out.avi -i z:\tmp\out.png -filter_complex "fps=10,scale=192:108:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse" e:\ia\out.gif
Finally You will get:
1) trailer video in e:\ia\out.avi
2) nice gif - concatenated from scenes avi

I have made a few car crush clips, one of the "most extreme" as well (300 heel stomps, hammer, pee, crazy stuff). It is definitely a niche with customers, so I'd say yes, it's possible.
If only I understood your method for trailer making, I would try it. I guess that only works on Linux and not on windows?

Hi everyone.
Dear Ellie; we was there, a $51 chargeback when I had only about $200 in sales a couple of month ago...I was even crying but do you know what we did? We assumed like that sale never existed! We focused only in the sales and not in the chargeback and if my goal was $600 for that month (it was my thrid month) then my new goal was $651. I think the mentality you use in EVERY TINY LITTLE SINGLE CLIP counts very much!!!
Guess what? That month we reached almost $900 beside $51 of that "motivating" chargeback.
Try to overcome adversity into your favor, see this like "this thieft is not stronger than me" and get over it!
This month we had a $31 chargeback and what did we do? We started to open another stores, it's sooo muuuuch work but I don't care because we have to get over the adversity :)
I hope this simple words can help you, if yes then I have another reason for smiling!
Receive a virtual hug and my best wishes, come on Ellie! You can do it! Move your behind and let's work on those clips XD.

Can I change my store name? I know I can't do it via my dashboard, but would the admin team be able to do it? I started my store thinking it would be all BBW and SSBBW stuff, but now find I am doing other fetishes that isn't necessarily BBW, but am stuck with the naff name I chose when trying to think of one with no inspiration.

According to producer support of C4S you can change your studio name ONLY ONCE and even its main category ONLY ONCE too (capital letters by them).
That's they said to me a month ago aprox. but you can ask them about it if there is any change since then.
We opened a new store, we think it's worse in short time but it's better for long term, of course we are not C4S experts.
Please excuse my english.
Kisses.

Oh, I get it. I think the car crush category is mainly understood as a category where you see model cars being crushed, not something being crushed by cars. However, why not. I would not crush people or anything living or dead though, just objects.

Your stuff is mainly relatively vanilla (solo masturbation, dildos, blowjobs etc). I know you have a couple of foot fetish vids in there, but it's mainly vanilla content and of all the fetishes, foot fetish is probably the hardest to succeed at on c4s because it's so oversaturated. Vanilla doesn't really sell on c4s, try Manyvids for selling vanilla content. Try and explore some new fetishes on clips4sale, such as burping, sneezing, humiliation etc (if you're comfortable with those of course). My vanilla stuff sells like a couple of times on c4s, my fetish stuff sells hundreds of copies every time.
Hi Luna, can you give examples of fetishes that you sell hundreds of times vs vanilla? thats an interesting comment.
Thanks!

There is Crush, there's no need for a category called Real Crush. There are lots of femdom categories too.
You're seriously filming a person being run over by a car?

Sneezing, burping, toilet, hiccuping, humiliation and more. They sell at least 10 times more than my dildo/masturbation videos. I know that things like panty stuffing and masturbating while showing off your feet etc are fetish in the real world, but in the clips4sale world, they're still really vanilla. I'm sure there are people making decent money just from vanilla videos but for the vast majority of producers, fetish will always, always sell better. Think about how many vanilla videos there are on free sites like Pornhub and how many girls are willing to make solo vanilla masturbation videos. If you're one of the girls willing to make more weird stuff, you will make more money.
Boyru:
I am almost certain I know which store you are now and I think your main reasons for not making much money are:
No image or banner at the top of your store.
White/yellow text on black background which is fine for my young healthy eyes but a lot of people who buy clips are older and I know white on black is really hard to read for a lot of people with poor eyesight.
Really short descriptions using poor English.
High prices (often extremely high prices).
Poor GIFs (only using a few frames in each one, no video GIFs and almost no previews).
LOADS of clips without sound (although at least you mention it in the description so they know what they're buying).
Honestly, I think some of your categories (like car crush) just don't have that much traffic no matter how extreme your videos are, they're just not that popular. The car crush category doesn't even have enough stores to have a top 50, there's only a top 49! If you're not making that much money from your car crush videos and you're extremely high in the top 49, think about that. You're one of the best selling stores in the category and you're not making much money, so there's obviously just not much money in the category. The other categories you post in are massively over saturated, like femdom and lesbian femdom. There's thousands of excellent quality femdom clips by women who have English as their first language. Also, femdom without sound is kind of pointless, a massive part of it is verbal humiliation/domination. You can't post a clip with no audio that's literally just one girl sitting on another at $1.50 per minute and expect to make hundreds of sales.
If that isn't your store then ignore me, i've made a fool out of myself lol! But I think it is.

That's the store I found as well.. I am pretty sure that is them based on the way the descriptions are written. This whole time I was thinking the videos were something illegal or banned on C4S.
The titles aren't very good. I understand the stuff before them (the alphanumeric stuff), but "Lesbian femdom" doesn't say much. That could be anything. Half of the video descriptions are keywords which don't really matter when they are in the description. Most of the videos I see are without sound. I wouldn't spend $9 on a 5 minute video with no sound. Why are so many of then silent?
The ordering is weird as well. Some videos go from July to October and back and forth then a video from November thrown in there, but they don't seem to be in any really order?
Running someone over with a car isn't vanilla, but from the looks of the other videos they definitely aren't "extreme". They look really gentle. I sit on my husband's face harder than these videos show. There's a LOT of sitting on faces, but they kind of hover above them like they are afraid to hurt them. I am not into those kinds of videos but I wouldn't want them if I were. I would expect them to be more aggressive.

Thank You, that is me.

There are 2 niches: domination using car (near car, under car) and running on ribs/thhroat/head.
Some people like when slave is under car and Girl steps on his ugly face.
Some people want never-seen-before hardcore running on throat and head.
I have ~20 unposted videos with troat/head crush by wheels. I'm afraid that someone buy them and post in vk.com.

I would put those clips in Crush...although they're selling in Car Crush, that category is really about crushing cars. Crush is a much busier category.
(OMG just noticed there is a Toy Car Crush category now too...I wish more thought was given into setting up new categories, Car Crush is hardly over-subscribed!)
