Omg, this is awesome. You ladies are pretty much the best people ever.

As someone who is becoming pretty established in the fetish clip world, even I think the pay out is insanely low. I mean even on tube sites I've never hit over 100k views on a video and I'm smokin hot, so idk where your numbers are coming from for traffic, especially whilst in beta, but the earning potential seems hardly worth the effort.

Secondly, only a very few people will be in your top bracket, which is really the only semi reasonable payout percentage you have. Due to this, you do realize you're going to run a lot of the smaller niche producers away from your site, right? They aren't going to want to wait through the low payout stage while you build traffic so they can finally have semi decent pay. I mean if they were making 50% base pay, you'd probably have more takers, especially if you increase payout percentage from there. Pay per view means we have to sell at lower prices as well. even if i get 30 clip views a day at $2 a view (starting on the bottom tier), I'd only be pulling $12 a day! Most clip producers would take half as many sales at double the ppv price & 60% payout any day, even if that means they have to dmca a bunch of clips as a result of downloads from selling their wares on a site like elm or c4s. Call me crazy, but 3x as much money for established traffic in niche fetish markets just makes more sense.
I hope all of that makes sense, as I'm uber tired presently.

Wonder how BETA went?

Hi Ladies (and Gents), My name is Danica, I am the Director of Producer Services for NAUGHTYFACTORY.com

Well, its true that we have been silent in the last few weeks. But for good reason! We have been very busy adapting and updating the NAUGHTYFACTORY site. The feedback we have been getting here and other places has been invaluable in helping us tweak the site. And we continue to do so as we move though our beta.

Its always a challenge to gain acceptance when you try to do something different, but i have to say, the people I work with are pretty smart, passionate and experienced, and we strongly believe that our micro payment strategy for the NAUGHTYFACTORY community is sound, and we are now starting to see some people buy into our vision.

The model is definitely different, and we have received a lot of comments (some good and some harsh) about the site and how we are trying to carve out our little piece of the internet! We aim to make NAUGHTYFACTORY a community where viewers can discover upcoming and veteran producers and quality content.

We also share a belief that good content drives traffic, not the other way around. So providing a good platform for producers is equally important to us as providing a fantastic viewer experience.

I am telling you this because we care and value what you think, even when its a little harsh, we're grownups, we can take it:) The people on this forum are already established for the most part, and its nice to see that some of you have registered and are willing to give us a try.

But enough with the "sales pitch”! Time will tell how successful we are.

In the mean time, I really want to bring to your attention is a real world, short term opportunity, which i think is perfect for this level of producers. We created the ICE BREAKER challenge, where we will pay $500 usd to the first 10 producers to register, setup a studio, post 5 videos and 2 teasers.

That’s a quick $500 bucks and a great way to discover NAUGHTYFACTORY with no further obligation, although we hope that if your experience is good, you will stick around and continue to operate your studio.

Check it out: You can find all the info here: https://naughtyfactory.com/Contest/IceBreaker

When you register, we will send you the “Get Started Guide"

Also, if you need any assistance or want more information, my email is danica (at) naughtyfactory (dot) com and it will be my pleasure help you in anyway I can.

Hope to have you join us.

Danica,
Director of Producer Services

Only one has been paid out so far for the 10 people payout of $500 for anyone that cares. I'm one video upload short from it myself.

:) I completed the requirements for the contest. My payment should be sent out soon, CS just checked to make sure my address info was correct, I will let you guys know when I receive it so you will know that the payment is legit. I know everyone is weary of the pay per view, etc requirements, but $500 for 2 15 second teasers, and 5 videos minimum 5 minutes is pretty awesome. There are 8 spots left if anyone else is interested in the $500. Also if you go with the check option, it is sent registered mail and has tracking from Canada. I personally will be sticking around to see how the site goes as long as my payment clears.

I think there's a few spots left open for the Ice Breaker Challenge if anyone else wants to give it a go. For those concerned about payment, :) my check came, bank cashed it. $500 richer :p. (for those interested, walmart wont cash it, credit unions want to put a 10 day hold on it, and wells fargo will cash it immediately even if you dont bank there <- my experience, I'm in the USA, its a Canada check)

Also, I'm about to ask again about the watermarking situation because another girl on there has all her videos watermarked with her mfc handle and her twitter. I normally watermark my videos as well, but didn't as it was previously said not allowed. Im going to go threw and watermark everything though if its allowed now.

Takiaya, We are so pleased to have you and some others from here join the NaughtyFactory family, and I am super happy that you were one of the first to have crushed the Ice Breaker challenge.
BTW, your videos are quite awesome!

For those interested, there are still a few spots open for the Ice Breaker Challenge and the chance to make a quick $500.

Thanks to the early adopters and producers who are trusting us with their great content, our little community is slowly growing. We are now over 70 videos strong, and producers and viewers continue to sign up. So a big thanks to those who are participating, and we hope that more of the SW community will give us a try.

As we mentioned in previous posts, we are in BETA, therefore, we will be capping the producer registration to 50 in order to test and refine the features of the site. Once the beta is over, we will be re-opening producer registration for all.

To answer the question about personal watermarks; after consideration of the comments from this forum, we revised our policy to allow producers to include personal watermarks and self promotion tags. The site is about you and your content after all!

We do ask however that personal watermark does not overlap or interfere with the NaughtyFactory watermark.
You can promote your cam services and personal pages or social media, however we do not allow promotion of clip or video sites other than NaughtyFactory.

That's pretty much it for now!

Hope to see more of you ladies on NaughtyFactory.com

Best,

Danica
Director of Producer Services

I uploaded vids for the icebreaker challenge and wanted to wait to receive payment before I posted here. I did get payment with some delay (I was the first wire transfer they had done so far).

Positives are - love the site design and staff was professional to work with and very encouraging to see that they do value us contributing our traffic and content and back it up with a decent compensation for early uploaders.

Also was impressed that they added a category from a suggestion I made.

Still not liking the setup as far as tiny amounts charged for viewing. I am hoping the site eventually converts to a flat rate pay-per view site similar to Adultwork has theirs set up. My vids sell there on a per view basis instead of per minute and I really think it's a better business model.

I'd also like to see more ways for fans to interact (paid messages like Niteflirt has and maybe even a flash based webcam to sell shows).

Hi Laurie,
Thanks for the great comments and for contributing to NaughtyFactory, your work is greatly appreciated and is making a difference in people visiting the site. And congratulations on smashing the Ice Breaker Challenge.
Also, your suggestions are always welcome, we are super flexible and want to create a great producer and user experience. So a big thank you.

We hear you on "more ways for fans to interact". We are almost ready with a new build of the site that will be released shortly. One of the key upgrades will include blogging and social media integration. What this means is that you will be able to blog within your studio and your followers feeds AND choose to have your blogs post directly to your own tumblr and twitter as well as to the NaughtyFactory tumblr and twitter.

These features will streamline the process and make the experience to your followers more seamless and integrated. This will help reach out to existing and new Traffic and also bring us closer to our goal of building a great community for everything naughty!.

Happy New Year to everyone and hope to see more of you join us! There are still a lot of great prizes to win.

Best,

Danica
Director of Producer Services

With all due respect, this site sounds like a big ripoff. No watermarks? Really? lol, So, you all offer a much lower payout, have no in house traffic like c4s and we cannot put watermarks to protect our videos? lol Your site will not go far at all, I can tell you that now.

space_cowgirl
01-04-2015, 07:56 PM
They do allow watermarks. Read up a few entries.

I'm also not a fan of the fact that customers can pay a few cents to view a video. I don't know how they will get thousands of people to upload content for that amount.

Hi,
To clarify, we do allow watermarking as long as the watermark does not interfere with the NF unit. (see details in previous posts)

The revenue model is different for sure. Micro payments on large volumes is what the site is designed for. Its maybe not for everyone, however, combined with the unique features of the site once it goes live, we believe that this is the future. It allows viewers to explore studios, discover new content and producers, and eventually will lead them to visit our "soon to go live" studio marketplace, where producers may sell soft or hard items.

The model also has a low cost-low low-risk appeal that might interest new viewers to pay for content, which benefits the producer, the site and the community.
Think of "apps" and in-app purchases. It is where things are going.

The site is also not a simple tube or pay site, we are deploying blogging and social media capabilities very soon, which will create an interactive experience for the viewer.

As for traffic; we strongly believe that great content drives traffic.. not the other way around. We will get there with the help of the great producers that are signing up and contributing their great content. (i am using "great" alot! lol)

In the mean time, we are paying real money to the early adopters.... many of them from this very forum, and from the feedback, they seem pretty pleased!

Trying something new is a good thing!

Hope to have more of you join us and help build a great mainstream community.

Best,

Danica

I am looking at your traffic via several websites and it seems very very very low. 45 (estimated) daily unique visitors, but how many of those are the models?

There's no "browse models" list from what I can see. If I wanted to sign up and direct people there I'd like for them to be able to see MY videos first, then others. Is that something you have? A direct link for specific models?

I'd also like to know just how many models are on the website currently.

The video resolution is fine, but the 2,400 bitrate is very high. I record all of my videos with my DSLR in 720, but they are only 2,000 bitrate. You can literally count the hairs on my head at 2,000bit rate and 1280x720 @ 25 fps. I have a video that is just over 11 minutes long (1280x720, 2000bitrate, 25 fps) and it's 170mb. I don't how how you could upload a longer video at a higher bitrate that is under 250mb. It seems like you'd need to be able to compress the video a bit to fit.

Do you allow videos to be uploaded is they are only 2000 bitrate?

The website is pretty, but as someone said C4S is kinda ugly and I get a bunch of traffic there in a fucking ocean of people that are a million times more popular than I ever could be. I was wondering why it seems to be more geared towards getting models to sign up than getting customers? If I were someone looking for porn, I would assume this was some kind of cam girl sign up page and leave. Have you thought about making it look a little more customer friendly? i.e. browse models, browse category, model type, etc?

Are you still accepting models for the beta stage? and would I be able to upload videos at 2,000 bitrate rather than 2,400?

Hi justsometwat,

Here’s some answers to your questions.


I am looking at your traffic via several websites and it seems very very very low. 45 (estimated) daily unique visitors, but how many of those are the models?

Google analytics has us at 6,400 unique users so far this month and just over 30,000 page views. Those numbers are modest, but we’re a new site that’s only been operating in earnest for just under 2 months and just starting to build up our membership.


There's no "browse models" list from what I can see. If I wanted to sign up and direct people there I'd like for them to be able to see MY videos first, then others. Is that something you have? A direct link for specific models?

There’s no “browse models” … yet. It’s scheduled to be released soon, but we didn’t see the point in having it be one of the first features released since there would only be a small number. As for a direct link to your personal studio, there definitely is one. Here, for example, is a link to our own studio: https://www.naughtyfactory.com/studio/naughtyfactory. We also offer you the option of integrating with your Twitter and Tumblr accounts to automatically post links to your new videos and blog posts on our site.


The video resolution is fine, but the 2,400 bitrate is very high. I record all of my videos with my DSLR in 720, but they are only 2,000 bitrate. You can literally count the hairs on my head at 2,000bit rate and 1280x720 @ 25 fps. I have a video that is just over 11 minutes long (1280x720, 2000bitrate, 25 fps) and it's 170mb. I don't how how you could upload a longer video at a higher bitrate that is under 250mb. It seems like you'd need to be able to compress the video a bit to fit.

The quality is a suggestion. We did the math and a 720p video with a 2400 bit rate comes in at just under 275MB, which is the current file size limit for the beta phase. We might allow bigger once beta is over, going up to 1080p and 4k and possibly changing user (and paying producers) a premium for them, but that still needs to be decided.

We’d like the videos to be at least 720p be we’re flexible about the bitrate, so 2000 would be just fine as long as the video still looks good. Honestly, what constitutes a “good” bitrate for a given video is dependent on the nature of the content and as long as the final product looks nice we’re fine with it.


The website is pretty, but as someone said C4S is kinda ugly and I get a bunch of traffic there in a fucking ocean of people that are a million times more popular than I ever could be. I was wondering why it seems to be more geared towards getting models to sign up than getting customers?

Keep in mind that we’re a new site and going through a beta phase. This is why our current home page and our various contests are focusing on recruiting models to contribute content to the site. That said with the recent release of the blogging features and social media integration featured, we will soon be transitioning and starting to shift towards recruitment or users and there will be some changes to the site coming soon to support that.


If I were someone looking for porn, I would assume this was some kind of cam girl sign up page and leave. Have you thought about making it look a little more customer friendly? i.e. browse models, browse category, model type, etc?

It’s all coming shortly as we transition the site towards the recruitment of users.


Are you still accepting models for the beta stage? and would I be able to upload videos at 2,000 bitrate rather than 2,400?

Yes, and yes.

Thank for the questions and let me know if I can help you some more.

Best,

As a suggestion, the videos that are at the top should randomize, they are all the same videos which makes it more difficult for other models to be seen. I believe there are only 3 that show at the top. If it randomized and showed different clips from different models it would help both models and customers.

Hi Justsometwat,
Thanks for the suggestion, makes total sense and we are actually waiting on out technical team to activate the randomizer of the "carrousel", in geek terms :)

For the models interested in joining this site, I will say the customer support replies have been VERY quick. I had an issues and I got a very quick response and multiple people responded. It might have been a little overkill, but since they are new I am assuming there's not really a method or I guess...chain of command yet...but I was very pleased how actively they responded.

I've been uploading older videos that are between 5-10 minutes and have been getting views, which isn't all that bad. I just hope more people bring in customers (since I don't have a huge following).

Carrousel randomizer up!

Also the blogging features and social media tie in is now active! Meaning that you can post your vid, thoughts and pics and simply click deploy and it publishes to your twitter, tumblr AND to the NaughtFactory twitter, tumblr and NF feed and to your studio feed.. all from one click! Save time and reach out.

Im happy!

Hi All,
A quick note to say that we are very happy of our success to date! In large part because of the people from this forum. We have had some great submissions and the response so far has been really encouraging. New studios are popping up all the time and new content is posted on a daily basis.

We have payed out everyone on the IceBreaker challenge, which was great for creating awareness to the site and producers.

So far we are really happy with our Beta, which, by the way runs to the end of March, so for those of you who were thinking about trying out NaughtyFactory, you still have time to qualify for the Beta Contests.

Also, we are happy to announce that based on the comments from some of our producers and from the people of this Forum, we will be adding the option to sell your videos at a price determined by you. The payout will be 60-40 in favour of the producer. We realize that our model of renting for a low fee the vids is something that gets interesting only once the traffic starts to grow, so in about a week, you will be able to choose to either model.. or both! This way you can benefit from a model that you are used to.. and then try out our model when things get interesting! We strongly believe that the micro payment model will be great, but we also listen to what you have to say and thought we should put the choice in your hands.

We are also starting an advertising campaign which will run at the same time as our voucher program, where producers will be able to give out vouchers to their viewers and potential viewers. Again with the goal to raise awareness to the community, studios and Producers.

So come on ladies and join up, there is a studio with your name on it!

If any of you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. Either here or via email. My addy is [email protected] dot com
