Who can tell me the rules to be showed in "TOP 50 Studios"?
What do i need to do or to have?
I had $130 yesterday but not listed in top-50 studios.
I had $370 in one day in 2015 year, but didnt appear there.

From what I've heard you have to make about $200+ a day for a week to show up there. One good day won't do it.

I don't know if you ask this for your category or the main toplist, but for the main toplist, it's probably about $1550 total net revenue (after c4s takes 40%, so this is your net amount) in 7 days, past 168hours, to enter at the moment. It goes up from there.

So, you have not been close to entering and $200 a day might not even be enough at the moment. You need a little more, about $220+

That's an estimate based on my experience, but I might add that I never got a correct answer to this from the support, even when they said it came from Neil personally. So I would take my numbers. How do I know? Well, I sat on #49-50 for a few days when asking support and they told me it's $1250 when it actually was about $1470 (I knew exactly how much it was, as I had just entered on #50).

A few years ago it used to be around $1150, so I corrected my estimate for the fact that it's been going up.

c4s wouldn't load at all for me earlier. I guess they are updating the servers one by one, which was already noted by others.

My hits have been low as fuck for the last 3 days, so I think weird shit is probably happening on the customer end, too, since I've put up some good stuff, today I actually doubled up on clips to make up for missing a day due to the uploading issues, so I'm pretty annoyed shit is going haywire today!

Same here, although, from the sales, I think it's just a display error on the backend. I also loaded the c4s sites throughout the day, when my admin login wouldn't work (loading forever with no result), just to check if the customer side was functional. I didn't see any issues.

In former times, it used to be the same. Producers may encounter problems, but they do everything they can to keep the front end up and running (obviously).

So I am guessing the low amount of visitors over the past 3 days is just a display issue. My google analytics confirms that the past 3 days have been like the rest of the month.

The last week of March was terrible for me. Lowest amount of sales per week since I started. April has been fantastic and I'm stunned at how good it's been. Of course all that could change tomorrow and my sales could crater for the rest of the month because there is really no consistency when it comes to sales. Sometimes it's raining cash and other times you can't sell a clip to save your life. But that's Clips4sale.

Ditto! The 1st - the 5th were great! And then is slowed down for a few days (6-8th), but sales are good again. And as usual, knock on wood because I might have just jinxed the rest of the month. lol But seriously, this has been (so far) the best month since January, for me.

For my goal, we're good. However, I've been a 4 figure earner on Clips4Sale twice in a row in 2015. I have not been 4 figures since December 2015. I'm struggling to get there, but I'm sure with hard work I'll get back up. With the few days of problems, that pushed me back a little bit.

Are you in clip store then the store add ons and integrate with external accounts.

Clips4sale does not automatically tweet anymore. They have disabled it after some trouble. You can tweet from c4s like this:

1) You click the tweet button on the page that loads, after you added a clip (you have to add the clip right away for the button to appear, scheduled clips won't be tweeted).
2) To tweet about a clip you have already added to your store, go to your store and click the social media icon below your clip preview.

sinna, your site is an absolute treasure! I am doing some research about the xvids program and seriously considering it. if you don't mind my asking, how is it going now? do you still feel it's a worthwhile endeavor here in April?

It's crazy. I know it works, I make clips every day, yet I have not made a new clip for xvideos in months. It's just one of those things for me that I should do but I somehow don't.

What I noticed is that there are a lot of companies abusing the xvideos system by posting the same clips over and over with different titles. However, my clips that did reach the frontpage got a nice amount of visitors, so it's not a real problem for me.

I think it's still worth as much as it was when I wrote the article. You can earn money and get visitors, it's a win-win where you win both times :P

By the way, if you ask questions related to adult-income, you could post them on adult-income as well. I understand posting here, but our posts will disappear in the back of this thread soon, whereas others could have the same question when visiting adult-income. It would be nice for them to have the question asked and answered on the site, where they can find it right away. I hope that makes sense

So the new updates to our C4S studio page now sort by date if you click on your studio from a "top studios" list in a category. This is a BIG deal if you post multiple formats of a given clip and rely on display order for your store (as many of us do that publish 4 formats).

Hey everyone…

So this new layout is good in some ways but I'm noticing that, for example, when I am in the "Taboo" category of C4S and I click on my studio from the "Top 50" list, it takes me to all the clips I have made which have the word "taboo" in it. It used to be where you clicked on the studio from the Top 50 list and it only listed the clips for that specific category. But now it lists alllll clips that have the word "taboo" in the descriptions. But suddenly I noticed that once I'm in my clip store page, if I look on the top right, underneath featured clips & under where it says "show all ….clips" there is an option to "Show Clips Only In 'specified' category?" And that's when you can click on it & get re-directed to only those clips in that specific category.
Was this feature there the whole time and I never noticed? lol Because if it was then this can get disregarded lol. And I just feel like an idiot. But anyways.
But no this is new because I would of noticed this. Ughhh why am I always doubting myself.

I don't think I like it. It's good in a way because it shows alllll clips with that specific word but why can't it just show clips form the category the customer is clicking from? There is that option to only show those clips but I feel maybe some customers don't see that yet?
So this might be why suddenly three days ago my sales just plummeted. Drastically. And I know some had be complaining about low sales but to be honest with you my sales in the past couple months have been the best I've ever had. I've been working pretty hard with updates, quality of my clips, interesting story lines, etc. Then three days ago it just went downhill. And Fridays should always definitely be my great sales days. I'm not trying to sound braggy but it just always is.

I think I'll just maybe send my comment to support?

What's everyone else thinking?

Thanks for reading…

Clips4sale were doing a lot of updates, stores weren't loading properly etcc.. earlier in the week, thats when the sales died completely , I think taxes also had a lot to do with it, as other cam sites (like MFC) has also been dead the last few days just suddenly too.

I wondered if this accounted for my slow down. I was also thinking that maybe I need to delete all clips that haven't sold. Also, my oldest, smallest, and shortest clips will be made with my non-HD webcam, with dodgy lighting, and not as popular as my newer clips...a seriously bad filter!

Will the scroll being endless, unless customers scroll through all our clips, they will never see the links that we have at the bottom of our studio page.

About the endless scrolling, I don't know if you know this, but it's because the ALL CLIPS option is highlighted. You know in your studio, under "Our Top Selling clips", there is a bar of viewing options: 5 clips, 10 clips, 20 clips, etc. If you change it to 5 clips (or 10, etc), then you can click through the pages, instead of scrolling. But the ALL CLIPS seems to be the default setting for stores. I don't know if this is an option that can be changed in the Admin panel or not. Haven't looked into it yet....

UPDATE: Just had a look through the Edit Clip Store option in the admin and I don't see where we can change that option.

THis thread has gotten so long, I feel like I am probably missing some really helpful important information because I don't have time to read through the whole thing LOL

I am getting really frustrated with Clips4Sale. Just, not making much money from it. From what I see in the last few posts here, it seems like other people's sales have slowed down as well..probably due to site problems, or the layout change, right? Or tax season..

I'm wondering, how many of you also run member sites? I'm in the beginning process of setting one up on Model Centro. I'm wondering if I should just stop posting to C4S, and make my fans buy my clips directly from me on my member site. That seems more lucrative anyway.

But C4S DOES have a ton of traffic, so..I dunno. I just don't feel it's worth it posting clips there anymore, with the soft sales.

Since you are already making the clips why wouldn't you have both? Some guys prefer to buy them individually & some prefer to be apart of a members site. Each one make money once you put the effort into & concentrate on the niches that sell the best for you.

I've considered the tax thing before but unlike us, the majority of the population is not self-employed and are taxed at source. The statistics I read are that only 6% of the USA is self-employed. It shouldn't affect our sales.

In my experience paysites are not more lucrative than clips at all. I make perhaps 10% of what I make on c4s from my membership site. But it can be a nice extra egg. Perhaps your experience will be different.

If you look at the top of the site, our HTML space up there has been dramatically reduced. I have a customs info link there and I used to get a lot of twitter followers and website visitors from C4S, but now since the space we have for HTML stuff before they have to scroll has shrunk, guys can no longer see my links, just my banner for my store that I made. This is the 2nd time C4S has reduced the space we have for our own stuff at the top, and I think it is intentional because they do not want traffic leaks. Of course, when you click on our studio, it takes them to the start of the list of clips still and not to the top of the page. TBH I feel a bit like C4S are being dicks on this, being all "yeah sure you can link out BUT WE WILL MAKE IT HARD TO DO IT". And it bugs me because I feel like my header area is a way for guys to get a feel for my style which helps them connect a bit with me. Also, if guys search a category in your store, the header does not appear AT ALL. This bugs me a lot. I don't want to be putting "follow me on twitter! visit my website! order a custom video!" link in each fucking clip description, but I might have to if I want guys to be able to engage with me more.

Oh, and that fucking black banner at the top...convenient but UGLY AS FUCK. Seriously, I pick pretty colours and make nice gifs and style things to make my store look pretty and then they take a shit at the top. Christ C4S, thanks for that.
