    Now there's a good idea! I think I may very well do this option. Everyone would get the benefits of a visual medium with the joys of a purely digital product. Take it anywhere, watch it any time, buy it on impulse, and the product takes up no physical space. Perfect. And a 60% cut of the selling price is better than I could expect for slinging DVD's. Plus, all the videos sold would be subject to the Clips4sale copyright policy. The policy doesn't prevent people from pirating my material, but it makes the process a HELL of a lot easier to get the pirated material taken down when it pops up on sharing sites.

    I may at some point do a print/ebook supplement to the videos, but this is how I'm going to put out my initial material. Thank you for the excellent idea!

    You're welcome! I think it will work out great and I'll look forward to buying some.

    A few other positive aspects came to mind too:
    - People can purchase clips of the specific subjects that they want info about.
    - You can request feedback through the store on what other topics people want tutorials of.
    - No shipping costs and no dvds to lose or get scratched.
    - And there's even an "Instructional" category to put them in!

    What camera and editing software do you use?
    And how did you set up your lighting? (did you read a specific book, follow an online tutorial, or just trial and error?)

    Thank you for making this thread. I have started to do clips only this year and after a slow start, my sales are steadily going up. Can't wait to read it.
    Could I ask you whether you have found having multiple stores more profitable than a single store?

    Thank you for opening yourself to questions like this, it is very generous. I have been toying with the idea of going full-time at clips4sale & my membership site. Right now I devote about 1/3 of my time to it and the rest to live camming. The result is that I don't have enough time to film and I often end up producing live cam replays. How often do you film and for how long, and do you think the type of clips (cam replays- I usually post what is most popular for me on c4s: domination, joi, latex and other fetish, but also toy shows) would have a serious impact? I've devoted a lot more time and effort into c4s than I used to, I did only occasional/rare updates with one store and made only $100-200 a month, but now I have several stores and spend one day a week just doing updates, and do them all in advance (to other ladies I highly recommend that method, what a time-saver!), so I have about 7 updates a day, and earn about $40,000 a year off it on average (this is the first year I've done so) but I'd love it to replace camming if possible.

    My other question is, do you think it is better to have less stores, or devote more energy to one or two in particular in order to gain maximum exposure for it? Does making top 50 earn you significantly more exposure in terms of sales? Sometimes I wonder if having 8 stores spreads me too thin, but I produce a lot of videos and like dividing it up to make it easier for customers to find what they like and me to share everything in a convenient way.

    Thank you so much for this thread..Im just starting over on C4S and have been taking it seriously for about a month. I noticed that in your store you upload a handful a day in different categories..Would it be fair to say that quality over quantity if key on this site? My niche is my mouth( lipstick, tounge, ect.) but I find myself doing similar videos just to pop my store up( there's not much to do with this niche other than open wide and pucker lol).. Could that hurt me in the long run? Or is waiting a few days to come up with different ideas better and risk losing traffic?

    I'll be doing some recorded tutorials. I only use Premier Pro, though, so be warned. I know nothing about Final Cut. You Mac users are on your own!

    I use a Canon Vixia HFM400 with a Rode mic. As far as lighting, I learned how to do it from a professional camera operator, as well as a lot of trial and error. I get better at lighting all the time! The difference between my first vids and my current vids is astounding.

    Adding a second store just about doubled my profit - and doubled my workload. It's not absolutely necessary to have multiple stores. That extra profit, I think, could be gained by simply making twice as many videos for your single store. The main reason I divide my content is to keep Femdom separate from everything else. I find that customers either love or hate the Femdom material. That way, the ones that hate it can keep to hardcore and general fetish, and the Femdom lovers don't have to wade through everything else.

    I film 2-3 days a week - but that's only because I have chronic illnesses that prevent me from working longer. If I could shoot for longer than 2-3 hours at a time, I'd get all my shooting done in 1-2 days. I update my 2 stores with a new video each, every day of the week. So that's 14 new videos a week in terms of content. I always try to make my vidoes at LEAST 10 minutes long. If guys are going to buy it any way, you might as well max the sale.

    I don't recommend putting up cam shows often. Most consumers hate recorded cam shows. A cam show vs. a clip has a lot of "dead air" time. It doesn't look as polished. It's just not a good idea. They are low-quality videos - unless you can do some very clever editing and trim all the fat. (Note, I'm not talking about shooting clips with a webcam as your recording device. That can work fine. I do that on occasion.)

    You can certainly replace camming if you want with Clips4sale. I used to cam years ago, and never made as much as I do now. Clips4sale requires a lot of careful thought and savvy, but once you know what you're doing, it has much greater returns than camming. Definitely a "work smarter" kind of platform.

    If I were you, I'd consolidate your 8 stores into 2 or 3, and concentrate on increasing the traffic. The more updates you can pour into a store (without putting out shitty material) the better that store will do. It's a numbers game to an extent. You have to get the customers in the door.

    Making top 50 is GREAT for sales. But it isn't necessary. One of my stores pops on and off the list throughout the month, the other never gets up there (yet), and I do fine. Sometimes my "lesser" store makes more than my "top 50" store. I wouldn't worry so much about being in the top 50 for the entire site. Instead, try to dominate CATEGORIES. Those are easier to conquer, and get you a lot of exposure.

    Waiting to add an update is always a bad idea. I'm not one to advocate putting up BAD material. That will ruin your reputation. But you shouldn't think that a video is dull just because it's similar to the other ones you've done. For a fetishist, it can be stimulating just to have additional material of the same act. For the oral niche, there are many ways to change the same video scenario. Change your lipstick color, for example, and name the color and brand. Do a video outside (it's not obscene, so you can even do it in a park!). Try using your voice as well. Moan, talk, say dirty words, laugh, smile, make kissy noises, blow bubbles, chew gum, eat candy, I can go on for days.

    Thank you heaps for all of this information. How much does a clip have to average before making it into the top 50? I'm really just curious.

    Thanks for starting this thread larkinlove!!! I just signed up for clips4sale and got my store approved on sunday. I started doing research and was trying to find info on how much can be made on C4S and just when I was about to give up this thread popped up. After reading this thread today I got off my butt and made 10 clips to get my store up and running asap!!! Hard work and dedication will pay off in the long run. Thanks for the motivation

    Thank you Larkin! You're extremely inspiring. I have been wanting to dedicate myself full time to making clips and working my site for many reasons, but I just wasn't sure if it could be worth it. I am now on my first month of a 3 month trial at camming only 1 day a week and working 3 stores fulltime with daily updates, and ignoring the rest that weren't as profitable. The first month didn't go all that well despite my best efforts but it is starting to pick up a lot (I imagine it takes time even though I've been on clips4sale for a long time, I didn't dedicate myself fully to it and it really seems to require that for good results.
    I make good money camming but it is exhausting! I can only handle doing it 3 days a week, but I can make money on clips every day. I hope it works out, and thank you again for the inspiration!

    I know you're talking to Larkin but for me the weekends seem to pay off the most, but it isn't always true.

Hence, as soon as I get my upcoming move done etc, I'm going to dive back into more production. I've been slacking on that far too much lately.

    I'm curious what times of day seem to work best for releasing on c4s. I have experimented with this but haven't tracked it enough to get good data.


    Oh and I like ebooks. Printed books take up way too much space!!! Let me get it on my kindle please!

    Hi Larkinlove,
    Congrats on all your success. I'm a male currently suspended from LiveJasmin. My purpose here is strictly business. I have no desire to bother or upset anyone. I visited the site via the link you posted. Lots of activity that's for sure. I am currently trying to develop a new non nude room and show that would be best categorized as "alternative entertainment". All you can do at LJ is soulmates. I was suspended for leaving the camera. What happens in my room is bottle smashing, plate glass smashing, and other things where everything comes right at the viewer. Everything takes place in a specially built box with a plexiglass window. One cam girl tipped me $16.00. Big money for me. I think LJ is not ready for this however. Do you think this site might open an alternative entertainment category? My goal stupid as it may sound is how can a male make money in video chat non nude. How can someone make $5.00 an hour or more doing something different. Any reply for you or anyone most appreciated. Feel free to see my videos at YouTube. A video is worth 10,000 words. oh yes and if I leave LJ where do I go...my goodness. Best Wishes .. Clark
