LOL yes, I stupidly did miss out on that money. ELM is not a site I have a good grasp on, it was so slow when I started that I turned my attention elsewhere, and now have money from clips but keep forgetting to be more active to at least make payout. I'm probably a bad example for ELM.
i'm pretty much the same, i've had it for maybe 6 months but i just cant understand it so i moved on lol. and it seems like it takes forever to hit payout but maybe faster w/ texting..guess i'll have to find out and see :/

Any idea what size they resize videos to? I can't seem to find it and my videos are uploading way blurrier than they should be. I can resize them myself and upload them which will make them less grainy, but I need to know what the size is.... thanks in advance

ELM dosn't resize uploaded videos. What ever video you upload is the exact size/version the client gets. Or are you talking about the preview video?

Has anybody tried selling shoes on that site? I have a HUGE collection, and I do most of my shoe shopping online (Hurray for JustFab!) so the shoes don't always fit, or the heel is too high, or I just don't like how it fits. I was wondering if I could sell them on ELM and how much I should sell my $40 shoes for? They all are high heels and REALLY nice.

I put up a pair of gnarly, stinky, well worn flip-flops and have had zero luck selling them. I even ran a sale on them and still, zilch. I don't sell many foot fetish clips though, so that maybe part of the problem. I'd look around at elm and sites like it and see what others are selling comparable shoes for. A lot of "Princess" and "Goddess" types have been known to sell shoes, so I'd specifically check them out as well.

I've been on Extralunchmoney for a few days, and mannnn do I need to vent about the all the timewasters and cheapasses who want to pay $3 for something that is worth at least $20. Granted, I'm new to the site so everyone assumes I'm new to the business and all the opportunistic guys are stepping up to try to scam me, but damn. Maybe I am just spoiled by the other clip sites, but I have wasted more time in the last couple of days than I want to, and if it doesn't get better I'm just going to delete my account. I'm trying to resist the urge to go on a "Why do peeps undervalue themselves on this site?!" rant, but that has been done by more experienced girls. Instead I'm going to ask, does it get better? Did other girls have a rough start on ELM, and then have it even out and get serious paying customers?

I have a love hate relationship with ELM. I go through periods where I sell nothing, but keep uploading content because sometimes I have that one guy that buys a bunch of clips all at once.

Welcome to ELM. Guys expecting customs for less than the price of an average C4S clip is pretty much par for the course. There are guys that pay normal customs rates though (50-100c for a solo clip or 150-200 for a g/b clip). So dont fall for the cheep guys and dont worry about the ladies undervaluating themselves. Its a alright side site as long as you dont devote too much time to it.

I really am pissed the fuck off at ELM right now. I just went into my account and noticed about 50 credits missing. I emailed them and asked if I am getting paid today since its Wednesday. Then I got more curious and looked at my transactions and I saw the 50 credits being removed from my account with the message "credits deducted by admin to seller" "credits deducted by admin"
SO I asked the guy who bought the 3 download now videos and tipped 20 credits if he still had the videos. HE STILL HAS THEM. So he was able to get my videos and tip at first, but somehow ELM deemed his transaction unfit AFTER he already dowloaded. THEN they took the credit from me the person who did all the work for free, and the person who has no control over what customers I take in and no way of knowing if indeed their transactions are legitimate.
So I sent another message to ELM saying they have no right to fault me for that. When I worked on Live Jasmine.com I had a cam show that never took me back to members chat after it was over and I was just sitting there doing stuff thinking my customer was there, I even saw the money rolling in on the screen. I messaged them and said hey, that last private I did not get paid for and they credited me back plus some for my inconvenience as well immediately. I hope ELM resolves this and I will let you all know if they do or don't.
I would advise to be sure that your customers are using prepaid cards to make your transactions over ELM because apparently with a bank card, the transaction can be reversed by ADMIN. Those FUCKERS~

Thank you.
Yup I might just write a standard two sentance note to all my videos stating that the video will be delivered after 26 hours has passed from purchase. Due to the fact that ELM
Does give their card 24 hours to be flagged as clear.

Depends.

When I only did non nude (mostly mouth) clips I got a few custom jobs at $10 per minute. But only when I first signed up, and only a few. I liked the escrow system.

Not many download sales either (but again, I am referring to non nude fetish stuff, and ELM isn't really known for that stuff as much as c4s)

When I had 'new girl' status I got quite a few requests for usual 'moan/scream my name while your coming' and other naked/ BJ's/sex stuff. However I have no way of knowing whether these guys were time wasters or not for sure or whether they would have been willing to pay a fair price.

Is the verification pic (the one of you holding a piece of paper with member name etc) displayed ANYWHERE on the site? Can buyers see it at all?

I am not very popular (I deleted an old twitter account and started over), so I basically advertise to just under 1,000 followers on twitter 99% of which never talk to me or favorite anything. I am thinking most of my traffic is coming from within ELM it's self. I price my videos for pretty low (10 credits is $6.50) so most of my videos range from 6-10 credits, but some are as much as 15 (which is still only $9.75). I meet my minimum payout of 55 credits ($35.75) almost every time before the pay period is up. It's not very much money, that basically covers one tank of gas. I've already raised my prices a little bit and have been meeting my payouts a lot quicker with about the same number of sales as before I raise my prices.

Most girls seems to price their videos at an average of 7 credits (which is ridiculous considering a lot of those are pee videos and though I don't make them and never would they should be charging a LOT more than that for them!).

Average credits per category:
Videos Photos Escrow Orders Goods Artwork Other
7.84 4.39 29.19 19.31 5.74 8.04

I have had an account like 2 years ago and ended up only selling one video. After a month I said fuck it and deleted my account, but made a new account a while later and have been doing much better. I just wonder why they are still in beta and when they plan on removing that (seeing as they aren't updating anything that I've seen).

Also, I had an issue with another model's transaction. I wish that other model's couldn't use their model accounts to buy content. She bought a multipack of videos for something like 30 credits. She messaged me a month later telling me that the videos didn't work. I FIRST emailed ELM and asked them to check to make sure they uploaded properly, which they said they did. I messaged her back and told her that the admins found no issues with the video files and asked her what she was using to download them.

Almost another month later she messages me again and tells me she is on an android device and pretty much blamed me for why the videos weren't working. I told her it was her issue, explained why it was on her end, and just stopped all communication. I was VERY worried that they would refund her, but that's why I asked them first. I am not going to give her download links when they are already on the website. It's been over a month (again!) and no word from her and my money was cashed out. I think if they refunded her, I would flip them off and walk away.

If you want a small amount of passive income, then ELM is a decent place to upload. It's not worth it in terms of custom content (most offer 25-35 credits $16.25 - $22.75), and answering messages is almost pointless because no one reads your profile and they don't take no for an answer.

Mistress Anika

I would ignore the average rates info for ELM. Sure girls sell their content for all different rates so those numbers are accurate but not realistic. The girl selling custom pee videos for 2credits a pop isn't the same girl that's selling her non-nude hair brushing custom for 100 credits and visa-versa. Most people sell somewhere in the middle. My customs on ELM start at 50 if I'm feeling super nice but mostly range between the 75-150 range.

I also cant quite relate to guys not taking "No" for an answer but I accept in this business and well every business i've ever been involved with, that you answer the same questions, over and over again. Especially when that information is clearly listed in multiple places.

01-28-2015, 08:31 AM
I've found that most of the guys that make very unreasonable demands are also the ones that don't take the "no" lightly. I've been sent novels for custom videos and the guys offer 15-20 credits for a minimum 30 minute long video. I tell them that it's not something that I am interested in making and they argue, "well why not? what if you cut this part of the video?", Nope that's okay. why not? Because I don't want to and I am not comforable with doing this for so few credits. Well can you....NO!

I had someone ask me for a discount on one of my longest and most tiring videos. I told him that I wasn't willing to let it go for less than that, considering it was priced lower on ELM that my other websites already. He continued to argue with me and wanted it for less credits then told me "x credits is better than 0 credits" Bitch please, I know I can sell it, I just don't wanna sell it to you. Rude asshole.

Mistress Anika
01-28-2015, 10:44 AM
See I go about my answers differently. I never tell anyone NO. I tell them sure BUT its going to cost XXX and tell them if thats out of their budget that I have over 200 other premade videos that they cant pick from. I also have enough kids in my life to never get sucked into the "BUT WHY" game lol. Maybe its the type of content I film or the type of guys that are attracted to me, I just dont get a lot of annoying trolly cheepos. So maybe my experiences are different.

Is it OK to watermark your instant download vids with your website URL?

And is it OK to watermark customs with the same?

Luna66
04-08-2015, 04:15 PM
^Yes. Well I assume so because I do it and nothing's happened.

In reference to all the other posts in this thread about how little there is to make on ELM, I just thought i'd chime in and say I make $200-$300 per payout (weekly). It's my second best site. Most of it comes from customs but a fair amount comes from instant downloads too. If you're not willing to go below your usual rates ($8 or $10 per minute or whatever) then you probably won't get much business on there. But the way I see it is 10 customs a week at 30 credits each is far better than 1 custom a week at 100 credits.

It's been a while, but last time I tried using it it said that the average charge per text was .22 credits. I guess if you text back and forth quite a bit it could add up nicely but the only person that had ever texted me was a foot fetish sub and he was NOT worth the credits. He was whiny and demanding and I ultimately ended up blocking him. If I have to put up with someone that's going to act like a twat I had better get more than .22 credits! I tried charging more but never got any bites after that so I disabled that option.

Anyone here sell items on ELM? I'm going through my stuff and have a shit ton of underwear and bras I don't fit in anymore. I don't have my own site/processor so I figured ELM is my only option. I know I would post a pic, description, and price. Would I be able to take down the listing when/if they sell? What happens if multiple people try to purchase the same item?

I have been looking for this but didnt find any info. Where can I get the details as to how goal videos work? I went to ELM to see what the girls were offering and I see depending on the contribution the guy makes they may get diff types of videos in exchange. Do I send the videos as they contribute? Or until the whole goal is met? What I thought was that you set a goal amount in exchange to a special video. If the goal is reached then each contributor gets the video.

Thanks.

Haven't seen this mentioned yet on SW. I'm raging that as of the 22nd of July, ELM will no longer be using Payoneer. Then the ONE AND ONLY option for those of us outside of the USA and Canada is Paxum! I've refused to sign up to Paxum many times, the fees are outrageous. Shocking that we only have one payment option.

They wont even do checks? That sucks.

They say "Due to policy changes with Payoneer they have decided to no longer support payments for ELM sellers"

which makes me wonder if that means Payoneer are going to do this with other sites. They process a lot of adult sites, very strange that they singled out ELM.

Just so I don't cause mass hysteria, after my new card with payoneer was activated (because of fraud apparently), all of my funding sources were de-activated for no good reason. This is why dailypay could not pay me. Apparently it's been fixed but I will update when I get paid. I don't have enough credits on mgf right now to see if a cash out would work and haven't heard anything new.

I was wondering if they removed ELM from receiving payments because they allow pee and period blood videos? There's no visible ToS that I could find but most sites don't openly allow that sort of stuff? Seems odd though.

https://twitter.com/jupzchris on Twitter is apparently the business developer for Paxum & he said that they waive the yearly fee for camgirls, so your only fee would be the $2 ATM withdrawal fee.

I still don't think I'll sign up for Paxum.

I'm planning on just raising my "minimum payout" to the max allowed and paying for a wire transfer any time it gets that high. I'm not at all happy about this sudden change though.

That's my plan too. I don't make a lot of money on ELM though, so I'll be waiting a long time for it to be enough to warrant the wire fee! I may not make much there, but it's more money than NOT being on ELM, so I don't want to give up on it completely. I don't know why they can't just add cheques as another cheap option. Clips4Sale doesn't charge for cheques, and that's how I get paid there.

Just send some free pics so it activates that you sent something and closes the sale. I accidently did this kind of sale with my kik and it was asking me to send them what I bought so I sent them a pic of me with my kik id stamped across.

Also I think if you don't do anything they automatically close it/resolve it so maybe you already got them?

Im sure this is a dumb question but I went to upload a video and it says I must have a sample image of my product. How do I get a sample image of a video?

You would take a snapshot of the video through whatever editing software you use...I personally use WMM and it's just called a "snapshot" and use that as your sample image. Look under "sell a product" on ELM and you should be on your way. They have a really good wiki on pretty much everything on their site so I would reference that as well. :)

If ELM had a screenshot option like most sites do, I would use their site. I HATE having to take screenshots for my videos only for their site. How hard would it be for them to have autogenerated screenshots like C4S or C4U? I still don't understand how they are still in beta when they aren't making any changes to the site at all. I bet if they redesigned the site and offered some better services that they would make more money. It's just not worth it there anymore.

why why why are the requests so cheap.....ughhh I'm getting started with this site and am posting some stuff/custom requests. But every request is like ridiculous with the credits they are looking to spend. I'm trying to upsell these guys too and sometimes that works. Girls must be doing custom masturbation videos for like 10 credits, otherwise why would they expect so little :O
