    Default Are Multiple C4S stores better than just one?

    I currently just have one store on C4S, and honestly, I don't update it that much right now! But I am intending to really get on it in the next couple of months, updating daily, etc etc. I am DETERMINED to start making serious money at this, not just a couple hundred every month or two...

    Is it worth it to have multiple stores for different niches, or do you guys find that it works just as well to have all the clips in one?

    I currently have a big 'ol mish mash of clips in my store - cam shows, feet, fin dom, straight up masturbation, cosplay, SPH, crushing, hands, mouth, piercing.....basically everything I can think of, I'll film a clip and add it.

    Who has multiple stores? Do you find that you sell more that way? Do certain niches do better with a devoted store (fin dom, dom, - stuff that requires more of a character)? Do you make as much by adding 1 clip per day to 5 different stores, rather than 5 clips to one store, spread out over the day?
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    I like having more than one store. But I didn't open the second store until I was sure that was going to be my money-making niche. The rest of my clips are in my main store. If I find a second niche that sells well for me, I'll open another store for that. And yes, I made more money once the one niche was separated from the main store, but I don't know if that means anything.

    I opened 2 more stores, for a total of 3 stores, one at the beginning of the month, and one a couple of days ago. My main store is also a mishmash type of store, and makes me the most money right now. My first niche store has made me a decent amount of money-- nowhere near as much as the main store, but nothing to sneeze at. My second niche store has made a little in the first couple of days, not a whole lot, but I'm happy, considering they are not new content.

    I have so many clips (700+) that I think separating them into niche stores is beneficial so they're easier to find. I plan on eventually having about 7 stores, adding one per month until I'm comfortable. I don't think it matters a hell of a lot as long as you're updating. I update my main store 5-7 times per day, and the niche stores 1-3.

    I wouldn't open more than 1 or 2 stores total unless I hired an assistant. That just seems so time-consuming, and then having to promote each store separately? Plus, majority of my customers have lots of overlapping fetishes, so its beneficial for me to keep it all in 1 store bc most tend to buy from multiple categories.

    ^^ It doesn't take up a huge amount of time for me, at least not any more than a usual workday, but I'm hoping to get my boyfriend to help me a little once I open more

    I have 5 stores. Going to be adding #6 soon.

    My niches are completely different, and they don't mesh very well together which is why I separated my stores.

    I have dedicated stores: 2 are my top/bestselling niches. the 3rd I update semi-regularly and the 4th and 5th - one is a content store and the other is mixed misc fetishes I upload for misc customs or new fetishes im am trying out when i'm looking for a new niche.)

    I only updated like 8 new vids (total. 2 in one store, 4 in other, 1 in another one, etc) this month and I'm at $900+. And I'm lazy? But it feels like less work = more money. But I guess I really need to get back to updating daily and compare.

    I do find that if you have a niche (ex Foot fetish - you'd add, pantyhose, socks, flip flops, heels,, etc in that same store) guys will browse through it all because it's all related - Guys will go through it all and buy multiple clips.

    It's easier than searching through a drop down box filled with 200 fetishes they aren't interested in and if they come up to something they don't like (ex. toilet/diaper/farting/bbw themed fetish or what iffy thing they dont like) it could be a turn-off.

    It hasn't been more work for me at all. My watermarks are the same across all stores, all i have to do is upload and that's the most time consuming part. IDK, I like it more than camming so it doesn't feel like work to me.

    If you want guys to know you have multiple stores just cross them or link with small banners "click here for my femdom store, click here for my mouth store, click here for my foot fetish store" etc and theyll find what they like.

    I only do outside promo for my two top stores, and will do three for this next store unless i find another big niche. So far it hasn't been too time consuming.

    Default Re: Are Multiple C4S stores better than just one?

    A related question... or two.

    A while ago I opened a second store, put in 10 clips, activated it. But at the time I wasn't really sure what I was doing with it. Now I have decided what should go in there. I was just wondering, if I delete videos from my existing store to upload them in the second store, will it show up as 'recently updated' or not, because the same files were already uploaded to c4s?

    I've got a very small amount of money in my second store (I removed the initial clips just as soon as I put them in!) but although my name/address/payment method is the same in both stores, I've never been paid that $5. Do you need to tell them to put it on the same cheque? I've heard that others get their income from different c4s stores combined.

    I've been doing c4s for years but only really dedicated myself to it around 2 years ago. I have so many clips, camshow replays, vids for my sites, custom videos that it made sense to expand into 9 stores. I update most daily, some weekly. It is worth it, but a fair amount of work. I spend 1-3 hours a day on it, but it gives me a good profit that just increases and guys find me there and join my site & on cam. If you have the time, daily or at least weekly updates and more stores are worth it.
    Where do you all promote? I just promote on my blog, twitter and sometimes Youtube. I heard forum promos are good but sigh, so annoying, and it seems so spammy.

    (apologize for threadjack) Sophia, what software do you use to record your camshows? Like, if I'm a prvt with a custie and want to record it for c4s, do you use a software to do that? Thank you.

    I'm just getting into doing clips, and I'm finding that maybe I will open up more stores, I just find it odd that we can't just have ONE store we seperate into subcategories :/ I think that sounds so much easier than having 9 stores I have to update individually... Sigh. C4s confuses the HELL out of me, but I definitely like the idea much much better than camming and would prefer to use it as my main source of income. :/

    ^^The store is separated into subcategories, via the dropdown menu, but often times, people won't click on it, for some strange reason (at least in my store lol). I'm guessing navigating through all the categories and seeing ones they don't like is a bit of a hassle.

    When we open a new fetish store, how do we get the clips off the main store and onto the new one?

    Do we have to do anything to change them or just simply delete them from the main store and re-upload to the new one?

    Thanks Sophia...I have quite a few in the category I want to shift to a new store, so it's going to be a pain whatever I do. If I can get away with just adding a "2" or something to the filename that will be easy enough.

    You can totally do that! Just add a "2" and it will be fine.

    Thanks Qwertys!

    I've just realised...I'm no.2 store in the fetish that I'm thinking of, so I'll lose that and have to start over. I'll keep my name though and add the fetish for that store in my store name, hopefully that will help.

    I would also like to know how to record my cam shows as I'm doing them. It seems you'd be able to do it on ManyCam but I think you need to upgrade to the paid version. Does anyone know? If you aren't comfortable posting it in public please pm me cuz I've been trying to figure this out for a while. Thx!

    Any answers on the question Vlodina asked about payment from multiple stores?

    If you have multiple stores, are they linked? Do you get paid with one check for all of them, or different checks for each store?

    I actually have one question about creating new stores - can you do it from your existing account, or do you have to set up new stores from scratch?

    I'm thinking of diversifying a bit into the following stores...thoughts?

    1. Recorded camshows - just vanilla and standard stuff
    2. General store - for random, experiments, one-off requests, random recorded fetish camshows that don't fit other categories, etc
    3. Foot store
    4. Mouth/Eating store (since my dental thing, I have been doing a LOT of these clips, especially requests!)
    5. FemDom - including findom, recorded dom shows, etc.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    All stores are paid in the same cheque. If I remember correctly you have to start each new store from scratch but it's pretty easy. The store ideas sound good- I find it much easier to sort and organize my content that way. Some of my stores are fairly inactive, like my girl-girl store, and I just post to it when I have something.

    As far as my experience has been, if you uploaded the file once, it will *not* show up as a new clip in the recently update stores or on the front page, unless you either: change the clip format, or change the clip around somehow by editing.

    When I created my new stores, went to the 'open a studio page', and filled out everything except for payment information. Once my 10 clips were uploaded, I opened up a ticket with support and let them know my name and email, explaining they already had the payment info. Then they opened it for payments, with my information already filled in (I get paid by wire transfer).

    This will be my first month with the two new stores, and I'm not totally positive on this, but I think you have to make your minimum payment amount for them to combine your payment. Although perhaps someone else can confirm that they combine cheque payments, since my wire transfer probably doesn't apply.

    @ManyRoses: Those sound awesome I also have a general store with a random mix. Just opened a femdom store, and a bbw niche store. I love doing mouth clips, I'm also thinking of making one for those as well.

    I've opened my second store but it's not showing up as a new studio - C4S have confirmed it should, so I've emailed them back asking them to look into it for me.

    C4S also confirmed that each store needs to meet the minimum amount before a payout is made but that there would be a single payment for all stores - now I have to make sure my main store can meet the minimum!

    I've had lots of hits on my new store and 1 sale so far, so the guys seem to be finding it ok. Only new clips are showing when uploaded. I also prefer to look of my main store now and it shows a revised "best selling" list and I think that may have prompted a sale last night. It feels good having separated out the "yuck" stuff!

    I've got two stores, one for the stuff that could really kill a boner if you're not into it (naturally my best selling and the one I seriously put time into) and my everything else one that I sort of just throw in together so it doesn't clog up my money maker store.
