Re: Update Everyday! (Clips + other content thread)
Posting 2 pieces of content everyday this week (1 clip and 1 mp3) which a little different from my norm... but they're selling just fine. $200+ since Monday of this week alone. And this will make the 3rd week in a row this month/year that I've surpassed my goal! I just invested in (bought with Amazon money from a human ATM) a new pop filter and ring light. :)

I deleted clips for having a hair out of place and lipstick on teeth, panties crooked, didn't like the way I was talking, blinking too much, wrinkles on my bed blankets, stuff being crooked in the backgorund, camera being crooked, hating my voice etc. So many STUPID reasons and wasted time over stuff the guys literally wont even notice or care about !!

If you try your best to get it perfect for you, and still see something you dont like in the footage just really objectively analyse it like I would ask myself would X top studio delete a clip for the reason I'm about to ? The answer that comes to mind is usually no. Then I upload and it sells

Oh please don't delete anything... even footage that's out of focus. If there's something extremely noticeably wrong, use it to your advantage.
It's easier, I believe, for me because my content ranges in the fetish and femdom. Once filmed my first upclose tit video in a lace lingerie which was the first 'nude' content I ever did. The ENTIRE clip was out of focus and I didn't realize until I went to edit it. I kept it and released it as 'your wanking has caused you to lose your eyesight'. The guys ate it up and it was my top selling clip for years! There's been other clips where either the audio was really bad or for some reason there was no audio... I just release it with some quirk about ignoring them or they don't deserve my voice. Again, it's easier with fetish and femdom... but just try to work an angle if something you created has gone awry.

Ive never thought about that but Ive filmed without audio so many times accidentally, keeping this tip in mind for sure

Re: Update Everyday! (Clips + other content thread)
decided to join this for april, poor internet isnt much of an excuse as I can upload overnight and schedule for the next few days at a time, I have loads ot upload to IWC and ELM still so its not even like I have to be creating new content all the time
on this :D

Re: Update Everyday! (Clips + other content thread)
So guys I make audio content and I sell them on Niteflirt, Clips4sale and IWC.
I find my NF buyers are hella cheap, which I don't mind at all, I would actually like to price myself
somewhat cheaper as my content is quick and easy to digest femdom, and I think erring on the cheaper
side is a benefit not a loss.
My only issue is that I would like my prices to be the same across all platforms. As you all know,
C4S sets a cap on the minimum you can charge, so for an 11 mins clip, I might sell it for $6.99 on NF,
but I have to sell it for much higher on c4s.
I know that I over think things, but does it matter if the same clips are priced differently on different websites.

Interesting that you find buyers on NF cheap. I've had the opposite experience. Clips that sell for $2 a minute on NF don't sell for me on c4s. Maybe try pricing them the same, but run a sale for a limited time if you want to promote. I feel nobody should drop below $1 a minute really. They will pay if you teach them to value your products.

I like the cap C4S has as it prevents the market from being undercut. I don't typically price my things differently over my sites. The only difference is if I price something a whole dollar amount, like my applications, and then C4S has to be a .99 price. I actually always up the C4S price. So my blackmail application is $5 on iWC, but $5.99 on C4S. They sell just fine. I've also just done an increase to my prices due to an increase in my content quality. I train my customers to want better for more $. I still do quantity vs quality, but with little tricks I can still put out daily content that looks better.

I do not know if he answered this before, but what kind of equipment do you use to record? edit and lights

This has been something I've been meaning to talk more about. I've upgraded a lot over the years with my profits. I started with my cell phone. I upgraded to a Macbook pro, using the webcam that's built in and editing with iMovie. I upgraded my webcam to a Logitech C270 and then eventually to a Logitech C920. I stayed with my Macbook for a few years and updated my software to Final Cut Pro.
Currently, I am using a DSLR camera, the Canon Rebel T3i, and I edit on a PC with Adobe Premiere Pro.
I also have a Yeti Blackout microphone for audio. I used to double record the audio for clips, but that was WAY too much work to sync and everything, so I've stopped for now. I do use it still for my MP3's and I just bought a pop filter for it.
As for lighting, I started with none using just a brightly lit room during the day. I upgraded to a set of two white umbrella LED lights. Last year I upgraded to add a LED Softbox light that I use with only one white umbrella light (I lack the space to use more stand lights). And this week I just added a ring light with white and warm lights plus it's dimmable. Also when I added the softbox, I added a backdrop kit with white, green, and black screens. Most of the time I use the black screen, but I also have varying tapestries, like a galaxy scene, I can use too.
Another important part of the behind the scenes is the hard drives. I have 2 1TB hard drives that I save all my work onto. I don't keep the RAW files after it's edited, although I should. But I have them organized by folders for my character (creating 2 new ones this year), MP3s, pics, videos, etc. Once a file is edited, I always give it a number and title so that it's easily identifiable. For instance, I do a lot of ignore clips... I try to do one in every outfit. So I can't label them all ignore. Instead I used a numbering sequence...
01_Ignore
02_AssShake
03_Ignore
04_AssWiggle
The titles are a bit more creative than that for most of them, but I hope you get my meaning. This helps when I need to find the original file or send to a particular customer that paid me directly or make an edit to the file.

Re: Update Everyday! (Clips + other content thread)
Started uploading last week, just a couple of audios and just on one site so far, but I've sold every day :) definitely gives me the inspiration to make more. Audios are so much easier for me but I know my guys want videos. I have my sound down now with my yeti and adobe audio, just got a new Brio 4k cam so trying to make the sound as awesome on clips as it is on my audios then I'm ready to go!

Re: Update Everyday! (Clips + other content thread)
I’ve never thought of doing just audios! I might try that tho I have no mic really

Audios are super easy compared to clips. I suggest the Blue microphones (yeti or snowball). They are low cost and don't require special connections/cords. They're USB mics that you can just plug in and use. Also Audacity is the go-to software for recording. It's free and can easily export as an MP3.

Do you ever post to the same category more than once a day? For example, audio on C4S? I’m working on updating/uploading multiple times a day (2-4) including audio and clips. Thought I would get someone else’s take on it.

I try not to, and depending on the category I try to spread it out. This really only matters on C4S as iWC sorts by recent. Watch the category lists and try to keep yourself in the top 10 most recent of your primary category(s). Some are much slower moving and only need updates 1-2 a month or less (for me, Money Fetish). While others will need 1-2 updates a week (for me, Financial Domination). Find all the categories you can fit into... you'd be surprised where you can fit something. I have around 100.
I don't think I'm explaining this very well, so allow me to get wordy and show you what I mean. For this week, this is my plan:
Mon - Tits clip + Findom mp3
Tue - Ass clip + Ignore mp3
Wed - Homewrecker clip + Findom mp3
Thur - Blackmail clip + Humiliation mp3
Fri - Findom clip + Homewrecker mp3
So you can see that I update Findom 3 times this week. I have to stay relevant there as it's a very fast moving category (10-20+ a day) plus it's my primary category. I broke the top 20 or 30 last month there.
I have other categories sprinkled in, but multiple Homewrecker's as that's my second category. Usually I have multiple blackmail items as well, but this week I was lacking BM content ready. But I always buffer it over a day or two. Give myself more exposure by spacing them out. The categories move fast, but not that fast to update it more than once a day. That's robbing yourself of valuable front page time.
Instead, schedule the next item a day or two out. OR put it in a slow moving category. For instance, I have the 3 FinDom clips right. But if I look at it, the one scheduled for Wed is an edging (joi) style clip. So if I can actually use the JOI Games category for the Wed clip to give me more exposure. That means on Wed I will be visible at the top of the Findom list (although maybe quite a bit down) and then freshly at the top of JOI Games. And looking at JOI Games it's very slow, so I can be there for a month or more.
The key is to always look at the pages of each category and see where you are at. Don't rob yourself of screen time, but make sure you are getting some. And spread yourself among as many categories even if you have to think outside the box.

Thank you dear! You explained it perfectly. I knew that there was some difference in IWC and C4S where exposure was concerned and I didn’t want to be spammy.

Re: Update Everyday! (Clips + other content thread)
I'm trying to make gifs of myself for niteflirt and want to use my logitech because I look better on it than just using my phone camera. Is it not compatible on a mac? Specifically for imovie? Ugh. How do I go about this..
-
Re: Update Everyday! (Clips + other content thread)
Cut your clip into tiny segments you want to use for the gif (I use 8 to 15 seconds total, deleting the rest), save it as a tiny movie, then go to ezgif.com/video-to-gif and make it into a gif.
-
Re: Update Everyday! (Clips + other content thread)
Thank you but my problem isn’t finding a gif site but using my Logitech webcam to record video. Apparently iMovie won’t recognize it and I just bought premiere pro but it seems you can only import things on it to be edited, not record video.I feel so dumb and I’m frustrated right now

Oh, I see. I actually use OBS studio to record my Logitech (it's a free download). I think it works on nearly all platforms and lots of tutorials if you search the board here.

Premiere can actually save as gif and then if you export via adobe encoder and make the file really small it's perfect :) i used the logitech software to record my videos then import them into premiere. I wish you could record directly in it too, but the workflow becomes easy enough after a bit of practice x

Do you have a smartphone? The microphones in newer phones are quite good you can use that until you're able to upgrade! I need to jump on the audio only bandwagon too as I only have videos currently

Me too!!! What do you do with your clips that don't sell? I've moved a few around on various sites with no luck. I'm debating on editing them into a compilation and trying that out.

I honestly do nothing with clips that don't sell. I keep them up there. I only watch what is selling vs what's not selling. Then I just focus on making more like my best sellers. Lately I've noticed what is selling will sell multiple times vs just once. Once you've made something and put it out there.. keep it out there. Even my old stuff may sell years later, so why take money from my pocket.
