I'm having issues with ELM again. I try to upload a video, but I get an error saying the file is too big when it's not, it's about 100-200 MB. I also tried with files that I have upload before and I get the same error. I tried with 3 different browsers and it's all the same - IE, Firefox and Chrome. I wrote ELM support, but I'm still waiting for answer and I was wondering if any of you had the same problem?

I read (on Twitter I think) that considering that the website was down the other day, that we would only be able to upload a maximum of 100MB per file until they had finished fixing everything.

Oh really, I had no idea the site was down. I use it everyday, but yesterday I wasn't online, so I didn't know. Thank you, I hope they fix it soon.

Tinsley I use on Elm the same nick I have on Mgf.
It's a rule on MGF that you cannot have the same name elsewhere. Be careful! I just emailed support a few days ago to change mine ever so slightly, and within a few days it was changed to the name of my choice.

Hello! One question a friend of mine is on ELM and she has 100 credits but they are between brackets () why is that? Thank you.

I think if they're in brackets they're a scheduled payment and they'll pay one week after t he payment is scheduled.

Fml this is literally the 6th time I try to post this thanks to my phone and internet
Anyway theres a request for a crush vid by anonymous user.
Should I report it (if so, how) or should I trust ELM that they investigated with the guy it was bananas and not a living creature since its against their rules.
Also has any1 had probs w support? I emailed them over a month ago w 2 questions and Im still waiting. I am glad it wasnt anythin important, but still...
Sorry in advanced if I got any typos but my phone is driving me crazy!

I wish Benic was active. ELM neeeeds an option to auto-release clips. I like that option on all of the other sites I'm on. Just set a bunch to auto-release for a month and I'm good. I HATE having to remember to log on daily and upload a clip

Hmmm so I usually have this ritual about going through the newly uploaded products and requests. On the products I see this offer about sending scat vids, the seller's profile openly spoke on her description on how she makes such videos. Sorry if I sound like a bitch for this but I reported it to support and a couple of mins later I get a reply for them saying thanks and that they suspended the product and notify the seller. However the product was never taken down, wtf?! is support lying to me?
Is not like I'm trying to ruin someone's business but rules are clear that they don't allow that.

There was a video of a girl peeing on her face on the front page the other day. most of the front page these days seems to always be about peeing in humiliating ways/places. It's...odd. Like, I know it's a fetish, but still.
I also kind of noticed that whenever I see a girl upload something really unique, a day or two later there are 3 or 4 girls with basically the same video. I wonder how much of that is guys ordering customs or if it's just a plain case of copy-cats.

I've had nothing but the best support from ELM, I have nothing but good to say about them, they usually are really quick to respond to replies and take any action necessary to rectify any issue I've encountered with the site and I've had a couple.. give it a bit of time and I'm sure they'll have it fixed - but can I ask - why are YOU so personally bothered by this?

What bothers me is when crystal clear rules are broken, even on the request page it let's the buyers know what is not allowed. Rules are rules and I've always believed they should be followed.
From the terms and policies of ELM:
Prohibited content
We encourage sellers to be creative in what and how they sell, however the following types of jobs or content for sale will not be permitted. Any violation risks having your account banned:
Content that involves any sexual acts, simulated or real, related to underage (under 18 years of age) persons
Content that involves extreme violence, bestiality, incest, snuff, scat or the elimination of any bodily waste on another person, mutilation, or rape
Content that involves animal abuse
I really really enjoy ELM and it's my first experience with selling videos and I'm doing good money from there and I hope it continues that way :)

I would email them again about it.
It is a problem because it will be the credit card companies saying they don't want these products sold via their cards, and they could withdraw, which will mean a loss of business when the guys can't use that particular card to purchase. It is also matters because it's cheating...the girls who abide by the rules lose out because of the ones who don't.

Yup I have noticed that Jaana, a couple days ago there was a boom with hot wax. As for customs most of my income is from custom videos, I don't think I even have 10 download now videos. Luckily I've found some good guys who have become my regulars and are always ordering customs.

I think a lot of these girls need to understand the difference between admiring another models work and drawing inspiration from stiff they've seen, versus straight up copying.

There are a couple girls I know who typically get the same custom requests as I do, so when one of us uploads the finished video, the others aren't far behind. One girl in particular has a body that is VERY similar to mine, so we share a large portion of our customers, which means we end up with a lot of the same custom videos. That being said, obviously they have our own personal "spin" on the requests.
A while back I did a certain fetish video, and one of the girls I follow closely did the same idea but a little bit different, and I was sitting here like damn why didn't I think of that! So I took *her* idea and changed it a bit for another video I did. I don't think that's a bad thing (always nice to see people's creativity when it comes to very specific fetishes), BUT.... shortly after that, there was a huge influx of those same type of videos being posted everywhere.
I've even had a few ELM girls copy my ENTIRE VIDEO DESCRIPTION for some fetish vids! html code and all. I mean I understand the girls there are new, but there's a difference between "oh that's a good idea, how can I apply that to my videos / make it my own?" and "ctrl+c, ctrl+v ... I'll record this and be a gold seller too herp derp but I'll sell it for 1 credit instead of 15 like her"

Does anyone know how long does it take to become verified on ELM? I've sent in the documents something like two weeks ago through the site and then emailed them again later, but never heard back anything. Is this normal? My account is old but I never used it, could this be the problem maybe? Should I open a new account and close this one and try again? Any opinions on what should I do, other than just wait and be patient?:D
Special_K
05-10-2013, 02:25 AM
In my case I was verified the very next day after I sent the documents. I have emailed support a couple of times regarding questions I had, and still haven't heard from them, on other occasions they have replied within a couple of hours, in my personal experience support is not always consistent.
That's all I can say to that :/
Now what I would do: Maybe email them a couple times more and if not I would just try to open a new account.
Good luck!

LADIES Do not let this user order from you on ELM. opp90 is a humiliation fiend and he never ever buys from me. In face he made me sit and talk to him about the request for an hour before he accused my cam of not being HD. He said my pics were grainy and whatnot. Granted I do have some low qual videos that I first posted there but I have overloaded the site with HD content and my fn camera says HD bitch! He also said the video file size was too small to be HD. A previous video I posted in HD was 6 minutes long file size of 15+ Megabytes. I tried to look up accurate file size and I found 750 kilobytes per hd minute and I well surpass the 4 megs it comes out to for 5 minutes. I had him do the same thing to me months ago except he did not try to accuse me of anything that time, he just dragged it on and on until I eventually quit responding to his messages and eventually forgot about him.
So frustrating when guys do this on ELM.
I also had a guy request a skype show and when we get there he was like do you take pay pal? Hell nooooo I don't, paypal will decline the funds if he pays and revelas the adult nature or requests a refund (that is too easy). I told him to escrow me and he was not happy. WHHHHYYY DID YOU POST A REQUEST TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR A SKYPE SHOW ON ELM IF YOU WANT TO USE PAYPAL? GO TO CRAIGSLIST OR CHAT ROOMS FOR THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF TROLLING WOMEN WAITING!

Anger management now Angel...I had to count to ten and politely message him goodbye as a good cam girl I know how to grin and bear it, and I am just glad that this time I blocked his ass.

Does someone want to share how you're doing on ELM? It was great for me in first month, good the second and now is my third month there and I can't even reach the payout. I started pricing my premade videos the price I have on C4S and they don't sell at all. Not that it was very different before. But I put some of the videos on sale, so it's kind of cheaper. I upload one video almost every day.
At the beginning I had guys message me, now I don't. I check the requests every day, but most of the things there I can't do (lots of them require a partner and I shoot solo) or are for incredible low payment.
Most of the times I've charged $2-5 per minute for customs, which I think is really not much (but when I see other girls do it for $1-2 per minute I really doubt). And $2 for custom photos, but I've gotten complaints on the price.
So do you think there is something more I can do?

@Ashley_3
Are you actively posting custom job offers? Like "I will make you a custom solo video" stuff? If not try posting one every few weeks, maybe with varying themes like domination, smoking, etc. Almost all of the money I make on ELM is from customs, I sell maybe 3 pre-made videos per month. Also my rate for custom videos is $4/minute, so I think your pricing is perfectly reasonable.
I never got any complaints before I went on a hiatus. I joined in December, did great and always had custom orders in my escrow, was gone for March and April of this year, came back in May and I've noticed a huge influx of cheap sellers and buyers =/ starting to remind me of MGF which sucks because ELM was always my safe haven from the cheap needy guys of MGF....
Now I get guys asking if people "actually pay that rate" for my custom vids and camshows (both $4/minute) because "all other sellers they've talked to do it for half that"
I can't even really comment on sellers pricing their vids cheaply, because most of them don't even include how long the video is, so I just assume the clip is only a few seconds long when I see a really cheap listing on the homepage =/
Ashley_3
05-27-2013, 12:55 AM
Thank you, ChopperM :)
I don't have much custom jobs. I've added some at the beginning and never added more. I also get most money from customs, but I get customs from requests, or guys who message me. But themed customs sounds nice, I'll definitely try it.
ChopperM
05-27-2013, 02:43 PM

Yeah sometimes you have to remind guys on the homepage every so often that you do custom clips, so the average browsing gentleman who might have never found out that you existed might say "hey, she's hot, her video quality looks good, I'd love to see her wash her mouth out with a bar of soap" :P

anyone have any experience with someone disputing an escrow?
this is literally what i had to go on: "How Hot A Zip Up HoodieIn A MallThatBYou UnzipAs Much Add Possible"
could barely understand the guy, he wanted 25 minutes of that, but was so impatient, messaging me twice a day asking about progress, and the footage was so hard to capture that i ended up just saying look, i have 15 minutes, i can give it to you at 60 credits instead of the 100 if you want a new escrow. he said it was fine and hed still give me 100 credits, so i delivered the product
now he's complaining that i was only leaving my sweater racily unzipped with a flash every minute or so instead of walking around with my tits exposed the entire time
ugh i guess this is just more of venting than asking for actual advice, since i know im just going to have to go through support if he actually disputes it. i spent three days making that video trying not to get booked by security or accidentally having a kid see my tits. does he not realize that once someone pulls out a camera and starts filming someone in a public place people are going to automatically notice and stare, LET ALONE me having to expose my tits. I'm lucky i didnt get fucking arrested.
i just hope ELM sees my side in this, ive literally never had anyone complain before
EDIT: ok thank god he accepted the escrow..he just left me a bad rating haha

I'm still trying to get my head around ELM, and I actually put it on the backburner till recently since starting last fall. Since I am posting videos daily to C4S I decided I may as well start posting again to ELM since they make it so easy. But I've never sold a download now product at all–posting jobs there tend to get me custom requests and only one ever panned out when I was first active–and honestly, I felt I had to offer a low price to seal the deal. After not reaching payout for so long I just used my credits to buy other girls' stuff.
Now I am getting many more bites for customs, and I am torn between offering a price competitive to other sellers there, or sticking to my guns and making it worth my while. It seems everyone wants their names used a lot in these requests, so I am not sure how easy it will be to resell them. Though I really WANT to ask for 4/min, I know there is a weak side of me that's going to offer 3/min because that's only slightly more than the going rate.
Eek, well this has turned into a ramble. TL,DR version: anyone having luck with getting decent $ for customs?
Classy_Katy

I had one guy happy with $5 a minute and then he asked me to say his name during the clip, as if it wouldn't make a difference...I told him that made the clip $10 a minute and then he lost interest.
Ashley_3
06-12-2013, 11:38 PM
I think $4 per minute and saying his name is a really good deal...for him. The lowest I've gotten there is $2 per minute and for the easiest stuff really. Most customs I make are about $3-$4. And I sell for much more on C4S, but on the other side I've still not seen any money from C4S (and my store was open in march). And I really like, that on ELM I can actually get my money and it's much more faster. But that's my case.
