Re: Could I make a living just by selling content? Is it doable if you are consistent
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.

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

Re: Could I make a living just by selling content? Is it doable if you are consistent
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.

Damn, that's crazy. It's really helpful tho, thanks!!

Re: Could I make a living just by selling content? Is it doable if you are consistent
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. :)

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’m a chronic overachiever. And I want to scale my earnings A LOT.
But Susie is Inspiring the hell out of me right now! Maybe I don’t have to upload 11 to make what I want yay!

That is so exciting!!! Sign me up for your list of tips :)
Are you posting videos in only one category? Not uploading everyday would be awesome.

Re: Could I make a living just by selling content? Is it doable if you are consistent
Thats an amazing goal! I would love some tips also :)

Re: Could I make a living just by selling content? Is it doable if you are consistent
Would love all the tips as well. This is maybe my second week and ive been getting at least one sale a day but uploading maybe 1-3 clips a day. I dont have twitter or any social media. Anyone have tips on how to start the social media side to up traffic?

No I have 2 or 3 categories that are my main niches but I try to also hit some others that are in the top list.

It's hard to say. I think twitter. I am trying to increase my engagement on Instagram and have been spending time there, I also post on Reddit and post my previews everywhere I can.

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.

Re: Could I make a living just by selling content? Is it doable if you are consistent
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.
