How Much Do You Charge For Your Clips/Videos?
What do you girls normally charge for non-nude videos? I've been doing humiliation/findom videos for over 5 years now and it seems prices are getting CHEAPER and CHEAPER when they should be going UP!!! When I first started I could easily charge $20 for a 3 min video(filmed with a cheap-o webcam nonetheless!) and no one complained. Now the top-top girls charge about $10 for a 10 minute video. While that may be okay for them because they have a MUCH bigger customer base, I feel that's less than I want to charge(I film with professional camera, studio lights, I edit with professional software and covert to formats, etc). Right now I charge about $12 for a 10 minute video and I actually want to go UP on my prices due to purchasing expensive new filming equipment recently. Do you guys think I will lose customers by going up a dollar or two per video? Thanks for your opinions ladies!
Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
So I have figured out a way to record my shows when I am on Streamate/SM which is pretty cool, but now I am trying to figure out the best places to sell them. I am thinking of making an account clips4sale, but for the time being I am uploading them on rude.com and maybe use my profile on MGF/mygirlfund.
I am stumped on how much to charge my videos I thought to do what cams does make them 0.99 cents a minute billing since the sites do take a % of them. But I really have no idea what I should make them the are about 10 to 20 minutes long based how long my shows are while I am in private/exclusive or Gold Show.
Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
C4S standard pricing is $1/min + 0.99 which works well for me BUT it's not really vanilla-friendly, it's more for fetish clips. But then again I've never so much as flashed a tit on there so I don't really mind the low prices. I'm curious as to what people are charging on MGF. I signed up the other day but haven't done anything with it.
Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
^^^ C4S standard is $0.99 min (+/- $0.99)
I always stick with the default price it gives me, although I have seen studios charge as low as they can and some studios charge $2/minute, both seem to have success (just as some camgirls charge live chat $0.99/min and some charge $9.99/min)
However I would like to say that while C4S isn't vanilla friendly I have had success with vanilla videos there, not as much as fetish but still if you are just recording shows why not make some extra money off something you are already being paid for
That being said if you are going to be doing C4S it would most likely be beneficial to add some fetish content to, if you get fetish guys that are loyal sometimes they will buy your vanilla content in my experience.
Overall I dont really think C4S is about what you post but consistency and building a following, I have guys there that buy every vanilla clip I post and nothing else.
Now MGF>...... Ugh I want to pound my head against a wall thinking about it lol
I dont really know what things are like there now but when I tried it out so many girls were selling all 100 of there xxx vids for like 10 bucks...
If you want to put the same videos on a lot of different content sites my best suggestion would be to charge the same for each video on all the sites regardless of the payout percentage. If you charge $10 for a video on C4S charge $10 for that same video in MGF, a lot of guys are on multiple sites and the last thing you want is for a loyal customer to find out that while they were paying $10 a video on one site they could have been paying $5 all along on another site they use for the same thing

This makes good sense I don't need guys feeling they are ripped off because they didn't do some comparison shopping. on rude.com I found they have setting that sets your rate based on length of video.
I am not trying to be on every site that sells videos but it might work out in my benefit to do that. I only know of rude.com/ MFG, and C4S to sell videos on I wonder if there is another one I am missing. Yea right now the big festish video I am thinking to do a foot job video with a toy dildo too bad that client I had didn't give me a copy of his foot session. I was thinking to blow up balloons and pop them. Basically video making and uploading might be something I am doing twice a week.

Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
It all depends on what you offer. Try it out and see what works. There are many threads on this.
Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
if you made a specific video just for one customer, does anyone have a rough guide of charges for that? I have someone after a hardsports video, im not sure i can 'deliver' but i have no idea what to even charge haha!
Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
I am a bit picky about clip prices. If my clip shows vag nudity I charge at least $2/min for clips. Even if it was originally a $1 GS. I will constantly do promos on MGF and give away those shorter clips for much less, plus it gives me room to do larger discounts on bulk purchases.
Do you mind me asking how you are recording your shows? (pls PM me the deets) I had found a way previously, but when SM switched to widescreen the sound started coming out all messed up. :((
Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
I'm not sure I'd sell webcam-shot videos on clips4sale, unless you have a super high quality webcam. I've found that if my clips have a lower production quality, they just don't sell.
Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
I shoot customs for people all the time..price depends on all kinds of variables.
Is this something you can shoot by yourself, like w/ a camera on a tripod? If so, I always charge much less for something like that..usually $50, if it's nothing too hardcore. I'll usu shoot a 10 min clip for $50.

Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
I sell content most successfully on mygirlfund. Ignore the girls in the offers who sell their stuff for $5. The guys who will pay for quality and experience exist and tend to ignore the cheaper girls on there, assuming it's too good of a deal or having enough to buy their content and some of yours too!
Make a really nice profile detailing all your vids. Price high. Guys on MGF like to haggle prices so it's good to have somewhere to go. When I'm trying to make $ on MGF I'll post an offer ad every few hours to make sure there's one on the offer page alllll day.
Lastly, have an amount for bulk content. Guys will ask so make sure you have a number fast. Gives them less of a reason to try and ask for some ridiculous amount like $5 lol
I hope that was helpful =)
Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
I was wondering about this too-like if its okay to start out making some clips with my HD Log. and then upgrade to a camcorder for future clips and videos? I just don't have the $$ at the moment, but still want to get some residual income going.
Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
You can make vids with ANY type of cam. Some people are INTO the shitty quality or the lesser hd after all. NOT EVERYONE wants HD. Plus guys are cheap and stuff that isn't HD is generally less expensive. It can add up. What really makes a good vid is you being into whatever it is you do in the video. Lighting, cam quality, etc is secondary to help make a BETTER video. Like how all you need for camming is a webcam. Toys and props and boards are secondary and help but it's really all on YOU. =)
Re: Selling Videos & Pic sets- How much to charge
I am definitely keep my recording system low budget, I just posted a tutorial on how you can record your cam shows using a free software already on your windows computer and that is working out for me pretty well. The quality comes out pretty decent. Even though I am a using a Sony-HC62 video camcorder it is extreme low budget it's showing on ebay for about $200. I use it because of the remote control zoom and having it mouted on a motorized tripod head makes it easier to just move my camera around.
I am slowly getting on MFG and it was pretty interested a guy messaged me about videos I told him 2 for $60 and the order was filled sometime last week. now I am just waiting on MFG to verifiy my bank account so I can collect my money. I am not going to make a big deal about what type of videos I create, I am pretty happy selling my recorded cam shows there are enough hardcore videos of me out there already and I don't think my regular guy wants to do make any videos so I am pretty much working the solo girl market.
A few places where my solo content are available for sale just increases my brand marketing as a cam girl and being a solo girl. my full-time focus is still cam shows, videos are just so I can have my own content controlled in my own way.
I was thinking since some of my cam shows can end up being almost 20 minutes in lenght that those would go for about .50 cents a minute maye .25 cents a minute. Then the ones under 10 minutes not many of them would be around $1/minute. just enough to make a few hundred dollars even couple of months or less.
