I use both.
I import my the files on my computer and edit them. When I was just starting out I used Wondershare Filmora to edit. Now I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit.

Are you guys making video content with your cam or your phone?
And if you use your phone, what editor do you use or can you just upload the video from your phone to the content sites?
I use a digital camera. Canon GX7 Mark II and Adobe Premiere Pro. Adobe has a phone video editing app too called Adobe clip that is really good.

I use my s20+ and then edit on the computer with Adobe premiere. I probably wouldn't do a full clip with it but I did make an awesome mini Hypno clip the other day using only kinemaster. It's a very powerful app and was recommended to me on a short course I attended on video production run by the BBC.

For now I only use my brio 4k webcam. I started with my Canon 700D DSLR, but it was a pain in the ass to use. I also have a Samsung Note 10+ and I might use that ones as well.
Thinking to sell the Canon and buy a vlogging camera, such as G7X or something modern, so i can attach a remote control and other stuff.

I wanted to do that too, I've been on the edge of buying the Eos 90d for 3 months now but instead I got a tablet (to see what the heck I'm doing when using the back camera!), And a gimbal for movement. Honestly the Brio or the top Samsung/iPhones now are plenty enough and a lot less hassle. Although I will update later if I can't stop myself getting it any longer :D

If it’s helpful to anyone, I worked out that it takes me 33.75 hours to shoot, edit and upload 11 clips a week. That will vary person to person obviously. And I’m uploading on 9 sites.
That includes planning and script writing, makeup, set up and cleanup. Shooting during two days. Editing and uploading 6 days.

I found something interesting when I finished my weekly shooting and editing plan. I have more hours available to me to shoot than I do to edit and upload. I thought about filling the extra shooting time with camming, but because it’s been so long since I’ve crammed and because camming can be so inconsistent, I’m going to instead shoot more content than I can upload in a week so that I always have a “savings account” of clips that I can upload when I need/want to take time off or end up with more time to upload than I expected.
Also I seem to only have time to upload 5 clips a week. Meh. Lol. I’ll make it work.

Uploading 5 clips per week is "bad?" Lol. What's a good amount to upload per week?
Edit: Nevermind. I just read the whole thread. Haha. I still think uploading 5 clips per week seems fine. :)

My goal is 10k per month from content/ fan sites. I know it is more than possible considering the people i follow and what they're making *mind boggle* If it helps I just had my first just over 1k week from clips and OF alone (£500 on one day)> I am hopeful!
I just hit my first 1k DAY from clips alone and entered the top models list. I am super excited to see if I can hit my 10k per month goal soon!
If it helps anyone, personally i am finding i do NOT need to upload every single day. It's helped me to find a couple of niches i'm good in and interact A LOT on social. The increased exposure has led to more (and bigger) tips, and custom orders both on site and off. So that's where the opportunity for upscaling income lies i believe.
IF I can pull this off for a whole month (meaning it's not just a lucky fluke), I'll write up a tips list of what i've learned and share it privately with whoever wants.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again! You've always inspired me and I'm so proud of your hard work and how you've grown. Couldn't happen to a lovelier person - keep smashing it! I would love to receive your tip list when you get a chance to set it up.
I've been a bit lax about filming lately, some family issues have meant I've struggled to get into the mindset! But after a nice long run this morning, I'm ready to get filming again! Sales were good but seem to be drying up and I think it's cause I've not had any new content up for nearly a week!

Yeah updates regularly really help. I posted a clip today that flopped but it got me exposure and caused sales of my other stuff.

Okay, I'm confused. WHERE on IsMyGirl do I go to upload PREMIUM videos? Because all I'm seeing is the plus sign button to upload pics/vids, but there's no option for me to add a price. My video has been sitting on "Processing" for several minutes, and no price option came up. I'm not trying to accidentally give these guys free access to a video that I'm trying to list for sale.
MyGirlFund didn't wanna approve my profile (THEIR loss!), so I'm gonna do what I can with IMG and other sites.

Anyone use an ipad for recording, editing and uploading? I was thinking of getting one for my business venture and then it dawned on me how much easier it may be for me to also use it for content. I wouldnt store it on the ipad and eat up my memory but I could at least take video, edit and upload all in one place.

I'm giving it a go on Samsung Galaxy phones. I have a 7 that I was forced to upgrade from when I switched providers, a 9 with a broken speaker that only affects phone calls, and my current 9. A nice memory card is like $50. They can also record very good quality videos. I haven't gotten to the point of processing and uploading, but I've been playing with different apps. I think you'd want a basic video one for cutting that also allows you to add a logo and switch formats, one for creating gifs from the watermarked video, and one for watermarking pictures. Also with three phones I can record 3 pov, this 3 videos at the same time. I was hoping to try things out today, but haven't been physically up for it. Maybe after a nap.

I read this whole thread as well. I was wondering what the current climate is like (I know it is rapidly changing) for clips? Does anyone use PornHub to gain traffic? I was considering putting up previews of my content for free in hopes that they follow my links.
Right now I'm only on MV (and sm), have sucked at getting content up regularly, and have noticed a shift in fetishes. Like, none of my fetish/gooning content with full pussy is doing as well as just topless or clothed. I used to do well with close up POV pussy worship. Now it's like... legs and boobs? I'd love to discuss the current strategy here. IWC still hasn't approved my new account that I created in December. c4s keeps giving me errors, and I need to get with support.
Any other recommendations?

I haven't done tube site marketing as of yet- but plan to give it a try.
One strategy that has been mentioned on here before- is to take 2 or 3 days of the month to shoot a bunch of content- I did this last week and I am seeing a rise in video sales. Consistency upload has been one of my weak points.
I started off by brainstorming ideas for videos, planning them out, then shooting, editing, making previews and gifs, and then uploading.
The shift in popular fetishes seem to come and go in waves. There is also the customer base that has the main fetish/niche that they are into.
As far IWC- try reaching out-I think they are finally out of the backlog. It was taking forever to get my old clips into published status- they finally got approved, and my new clips got into approved status within a day or two.
With C4S- did you fill out the compliance thing?
If you have a good amount of regulars- try ModelCentro and buy a domain name with your performer name (that's not necessary- but it can make it easier for regs to find you.)

Yes, I think I just need to call support for c4s. Since it’s that time of the month, I’m filming the next few days. Great idea. I’m hoping to see more traction with regular uploads, but I’m a bit burnt out from camming 7 days a week. Hoping using today as a rest/plan day will help.
Thanks for the tips. Definitely going to look into model centro. I’m just going to make whatever I usually get requests for on cam— someone will buy eventually.

For me Pornhub has been totally worth it. I have some full length fetish vids and a lot of previews and have gotten several well paying fans from it.

Sounds like you should expand the fetishes you do. Nudity with fetish is a choice but in my experience it's totally not needed. You can make $$$ without having to get nude. Check out the non-nude threads on here. What I use to do was checkout the Top Studios and Top Clips on the c4s homepage and via categories >> https://www.clips4sale.com/clips/categories. I looked at the categories that sold the best and the style of domination the models did. Based on that is how I choose the main categories I did. So like my main clips were domination, foot fetish, ass worhsip/booty domination, financial domination, humiliation, stockings/pantyhose. Then after that I'd go down the category list and picked whatever categories I was interested in. Then I narrowed down what categories and the style of clips I did based on what clips sold the most in my stores.

I'm going to bump a few threads for new members looking for specific content and may not know how to find it. It's no secret that the onsite search option is extremely limited. Therefore I suggest using Google before starting a new thread to ask a question. Most likely it's been asked and answered over a hundred times. Researching and learning how to fine tune your skills will help you succeed in most any industry.
You can use Google to search the contents of Stripperweb by typing in:
"Stripperweb + Camming + Newbie"
"Stripperweb + Best Camsites"
"Stripperweb + Clipsites"
"Stripperweb + Camming Connection + Burnout"
Google will give you a list of all the most pertinent threads.

I know this response is hella late, but this is such great advice on doing market research and finding niches that work for you. I think doing this kind of research is helpful in any industry, but especially ours which relies on specific language and actions depending on the fetish!
