saudi goddess or mistress. I'm not sure which. I think there are close to 40,000 clips in there. Many of them are CGI. If I could do that same thing with second life it would be a blast, but I have to buy another machine to do two characters.

Actually, Moneygoddess, Saudi Goddess does not use Second Life to create her animations. She use Daz animation and moviestorm in order to create her animated clips. Her animated clips cost a bit of money because she does near perfect animation and pays actual voice actors to work with her. I mean you have to invest over 500 dollars to get almost of the Daz characters and their worlds.

Actually, I would say that Saudi Mistress and people like her could be making tons of money off clips4sale. She dominates animation and 3D. She does pretty well in those genres because she invested time and money in it. She has so many animation clips because she works with an team and has great equipment. Plus, she has tons of live action work....I would say that she takes her income very seriously with clips4sale because she invested a lot in her career. Her fans really love her work and discuss it on tons of erotic animation forums. I would say that animation and 3D guys are an different breed than the machinima guys. They will pay money for quality animation and voice acting. You can charge a lot for customs in the animation and 3D world. Even more with stop-motion animation. :)I mean that equipment, voice actors, editing, marketing, and everything else cause big bucks. I respect her work because she takes animation and 3D to the next level on Clips4sale. I still just a newbie to this field but hopefully I would get to Saudi Mistress level within 2 years. :)

My sales this month:

I would say that my sales this month was surprising. I had my two video sales and guys brought a lot of my robot clips. I am still a newbie in the clips4sale world and I am pretty happy with it so far. I would have to thank Sinna for help along the way because she helped me reach new heights in my career as an clip producer.

Go for it! I love the idea. Some of her stuff cracks me up (in a fun way) like the growing asses of the amazon women and shrinking stories. Most of my C4S is done on MP3 because it sells pretty well and I don't have to put my face on daily, but if I had the time I would look into animation.

You don't have to save it before adding the caption. Add the caption, click on the save icon (top left) to save the movie maker project, then click on save movie on the top right and select the size that you want, give it a title and notice where it's being saved to.
Urgh I still can't:(. I hate when simple things turn out to be a pain in the butt.
@ justsometwat I tried using that but it made the picture really small and surrounded by a black square.
On a positive note by following you guys advise I've had my best month ever on C4S.

I am having a BIG issue uploading today. Nothing in the admin is working. People are uploading just fine. It will take me over 1 hour to upload a low quality 6 min clip. They said they are having issues with the admin today. I had lots of regulars wanting to buy last minute stuff from me that can't get my new stuff. Sniff*

Yes, server time display was off (but luckily still worked correctly) and like Ellie, I couldn't send my email to all, which I had planned with a special. On top of it, my store wouldn't show in the update list until a manual refresh that I requested from support, but which came a little late.

I was also told: server issues - which is obvious. I just hope it will be fixed soon and we can go on...

They are telling me to do this, this, this (I have already cleared cookies, cache, downloads, everything!) here's my issue i sent them.

Still not working. Flushed cache, history everything. Rebooted. Still not going past the "Add Clip" I select it and nothing happens, just waits in limbo but never goes to the store. I have had this issue all day and nothing seems to get me anywhere. Uploads are also really really slow as well.

LMAO yes, very probably :rotfl:


They sort-of fixed the Sales Detailed Report. Once again, it shows the commission totals. But it used to show the customer first and last name and the IP address as well. I don't know why they had to mess with it. When I mentioned that to them, I was told the customer name is hidden (only shows first initial and last name) for privacy. Oh REALLY? Because I can GET their full name if I search by date through the SEARCH link under sales.

It's almost like *they* don't even know what's going on. smh

Speaking of sales and last month. March wasn't a bad month but it wasn't stellar either. However, I felt like to was easier to make sales than February. And I guess how I judge that is by how much I make on the days I *don't* update. I have a minimum goal I kind of expect to hit on days that I do update and most of the time I do. But I don't have any expectations for the days I don't update. So, for me, if the sales still stay pretty steady on the days I don't update, those tend to be better months. Where as when it feels hard to make sales on those days, then it's a tougher sales month.

April goal is to update more.

It seems that when you update today, there is a good chance your preview pic will be broken. I did an update this morning and the preview pic doesn't show up and it seems to be happening to a bunch of other studios too. I'm not doing another update till they get that all sorted out.

Yeah, me too. I average about 15 updates a month and I know I could do more. However, I do notice a difference from year to year. This has been my best Jan, Feb, Mar ever, so far. I think April might be a so-so month, but last May (2015), I had a great sales month, so I'm looking forward to this May. Perhaps once taxes are done, people relax and SPEND (more)! ;-)

Can y'all use the "verify preview" thing in the add a clip part? Because mine just stays at 0% even when I waited half a frigging hour to check if I was previewing the right part. I know my sales are better when I pick a good segment to preview, so it's annoying I can't double check it. I have been using clips I already uploaded but tonight I have a bunch I need to upload, hopefully the uploader will work (I prefer FTP but have had 0 luck with it lately).

Hi ladies, I'm new here but I've been reading the forums for some time xx I've had my clips4sale store for about 5 months now, only opened since January. I'm not doing too well, but that's more from lack of new content being uploaded. C4S is far better than all the other clips sites I've tried so far in terms of sales. At this point that is the only reason I'm sticking with it. It's a nightmare both visually and to use!
I have a few questions I hope you girls can answer because support doesn't seem to keen on explaining. For one I can't find any information about FTP, I know what it is and I know how to use one. But where in the documentation is the instructions on how to do this for C4S? Like their server address etc. I'm stuck using the site to upload and it's taking far too long. I'm in Australia so my upload speed is crap but FTP must be easier than this. How do I use FTP please?
Second question why are they compressing my files? I've just opened a second store because I couldn't change the name of my last one, and I wasn't happy with the quality of the videos. I've spent all night uploading my 10 clips to the new store. For some reason I have 10 copies of the same video,I can't get the video preview player to load more than a second of the clip but from what I saw again the quality is terrible. I'm uploading .wmv (best file size and quality for my set up). One of the clips was 25 minutes long and 1.4GB it is now 10mb and still 25 minutes long. Why are they converting my videos?

Also about sales...is it true you have to release 2-3 clips a day to get sales and traffic? I haven't been able to update for over a month and have had 0 sales in two months. My first month obviously I was new so got more traffic since then I get maybe 5 hits a day and no sales. Is that only because I'm not updating...why aren't my existing clips getting any interest? out of 36 clips i had only three of them ever sold. So I tried making more clips for that category, and suddenly my store stopped getting traffic. I'm really confused on how to promote my videos or get sales. I'm having the same issues on ManyVids, YouKandy, and all the other sites I'm selling content on. Little traffic and barely enough sales to make continuing worth it. I have some great new clips but too scared to upload them, if they don't sell then its a real hit to the confidence.

Yes, partly because you aren't updating. When you update, your store shows up on the main page and in the category your clip is in. That's visibility, traffic and possible sales.

Are any of your clips listed in the top 50 clips in their respective categories? Because that is another way to draw traffic to your store.

You really need to have some sort of plan when you start out. Maybe pick a handful of categories you like and think you can do those well and just crank out clips for those. Having your store or clips in the Top 50 in their respective categories is a great way to get some traffic/interest to your store.

There is a lot of trial and error when you start out. I understand it can be discouraging when the sales aren't coming through, but if you have a plan and goals and stick to it--you WILL eventually get where you want to go with your store.

FTP

Host: ftp.clips4sale.com
Port: you can leave it empty
User: your c4s username (that you use to log in)
password: your c4s password

I don't know why they convert your videos. They don't convert mine. I know that they want to establish a video conversion system, but I have not heard of any trials. Though with the recent changes, this might be going on and you just had bad luck.
I would upload the videos again. By the way, I used to use ftp but I am now using their uploader after having trouble with ftp - e.g. my clip uploaded completely, but it showed up as incomplete. Or I resume an upload and learn that my clip was broken from that point onwards. I never had any trouble with the new gizmo uploader from the backend - it's as fast as ftp for me, as c4s has a cap on the ftp upload at ~750kb/s I think. At least it used to be that way, I have not used ftp in a while.

If you don't update your studio for 1-2 months, you can't really get enough exposure on c4s itself. 5 visits / day is very low, but that's what I would expect when a store didn't update for a long time - how are visitors supposed to find you when you only show up in a few search results.

Try to get into a category and update there frequently, until you climb in the top list. Posting clips in a lot of different categories is not as effective when you don't update often - as you won't be able to gain a critical amount of sales in any 1 category to stay in the toplists.
The clipstore toplists are based on your last 7 days of sales (amount you earned total in those 7 days) while the top clip lists are based on the last 7 days of number of sales for each clip. So the price doesn't matter, just the number of times it sold.

Based on that, you are probably not in any toplist, since you have not had a sale in 7 days. This makes finding your store very difficult for the visitors.

As to why your old clips in the store don't attract visitors - well, they can't. They are not in any lists, neither is your studio (maybe you are in the latest studio list for your category), so you rely only on search and coincidence. To change that, update your studio. You will appear in two toplists for every update right away. When you make sales, you can appear in more toplists.

Don't be afraid to update, that won't get you anywhere.

That also means that if you would manage to update 2-3 times a day, you would see your sales go up pretty soon which would also affect sales of your older clips positively.
