    Default Scared of branching out

    I always hear girls talking about having multiple eggs in their baskets, being on multiple camsites, stuff like that. I made my C4S store, and so far have only made 5 sales from it, and I'm honestly having a HARD time coming up with ideas for new clips to make. So far my latest clips have come as requests for private cam sessions that fell through because I wanted extra compensation due to long cleanup and risk of personal injury. I genuinely don't know what to put there.

    I set up a members site through C4S, and don't know how I'd go about setting one up separately from C4S. I don't think I have enough of a following at this point to make buying a domain name worth my while.

    So, I'm looking at branching out to other camsites, but so far SM is working for me, and even on the slow days, I tell myself, "If I just stay on a little longer, someone will make it worth it!" or "If I do a goldshow, then I can drum up a little publicity."

    When I think about setting up shop on another site, it makes me think that, pretty much, I'll have to just put more time into camming. Instead of doing 4-6 hours on SM, I'll be doing 4-6 hours on SM, then another 4-6 hours somewhere else, which defeats the purpose of camming to me. (Make extra scratch so the husband and I can have date night every couple of weeks, and in between, make extra payments on the credit card, car, etc.) Any words of encouragement?

    You don't HAVE to branch out, it's just...wise to do so, you never know, many things can happen to a site and if that was your sole income, it will hurt. You could try splitcamming, I split 3-4 sites when I'm online and it makes a difference, in a very good way!
    About C4S, have you tried the standard pricing? I keep the high prices for custom requests ($10 per minute with a 5 minute minimum), I find that sales slow way down when I charge much higher than the standard minutes +$1.
    Good luck, and don't be scared, you can do it! It can be overwhelming at first, but it becomes easier every day!

    Edit: if you're in Verified, read the C4S threads and join in!

    Here's a thread about it:
    https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...e+splitcamming

    I think most of it is still relevant, although now with the widescreen thing you might have to do some things differently if you want to split with SM. I'm rarely on SM so I hope others will know more about it.

    C4s is about imagination. Look through the list of fetishes & see which ones apply to you. Do what is fun for you. If you do something just because you think it will make you money, you won't. Fetish buyers can tell if the talent is into it or not. Fetish buyers want you to have as much fun making the clips as they do watching them.

    A site, an adult solo girl site only makes money if you are great at social media marketing & tons of content that has variety. It isn't about whether or not you can do it yourself on the technical end but do you have what it takes to give porn customers something different than what other sites aren't. It is STIFF competition. LOL Pun intended.

    If you are serious about having a site & can update it many times a month. www.adultcentro.com has templates, hosting & now billing for people who want to build a site or even just lease out their content.

    Honestly, you can't make money on c4s with just a few clips. To make money at this or any endeavor requires time, effort & imagination. Yes, it is good to have more than one venue for earning money. This way when you get burned out on camming there are still checks coming in. Many vets have seen major cam sites go down in traffic or get bought out & change. This is why we dont depend on one site to make money.

    You don't have to put the same energy into a 2nd cam site as you do SM, maybe put in 5 to 10 hours a week on another network. So when SM is slow you can switch sites & see how the traffic is going on another. If I get all dolled up & ready to work, sure the hell not going to sit on camera NOT making money no matter what site I'm camming on.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    I sell content exclusively on about 5 different sites, and have been doing so for the past year. I started doing this while I was still actively camming, but I agree with all the advice posted here. I can learn a lot about a fetish by looking at what the top sellers are in that category, or reading a forum dedicated to that fetish. Each fetish has a certain mindset behind it, and if you can understand it well and translate that to your video, you can make a great clip.

    Larkin's thread here https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...e-my-knowledge as well as the main C4S thread are great for little tips and ideas. I also have a members site through C4S but haven't sold any yet. I make my money from individual video sales, so I just focus on that.

    I second split camming! I saw a nice jump in my monthly income when I started splitting. I do SM and two other sites. Those two others have been saving my ass on some of these slow SM days lately.

    Without splitcaming i would be doom.I use webcammax software to splitcam with MFC and adultwork .I use a seperate camera for SM because that's the site i make the most on.In total im working three sites at one time,on the same computer with two different webcams.To recap i use the same webcam for MFC and Adultwork and Streamate gets its own webcam.sound pretty confusing but pretty easy once you get the hang of it

    when i absolutely hate camming and cant do it .(wchich is rarely).I upload clips on c4s.

    Once I get my kitchen cleaned up, I smell naked food prep in my future. I enjoy cooking, I'm good at cooking, and I'm betting there's an audience for it.

    Edited to add: I don't think splitcamming is in my future until I can upgrade both my computer AND camera, if I decide to go that route. I may stick to SM and clips. Speaking of which.... I had a lot of fun making one not too long ago.

    I don't even use software when I splitcam. I just log into 3 sites at once and stream all using the same cam/feed.

    How u do that? May i ask what sites? Normally when u use ur camera to stream on a site once u open another site and select the same video source (camera) it tells u is in use already therefore u need a splitcam software.
    Is there something new i dont know yet?!

    I am in the same boat. I'm also fairly new and not sure which other site I want to try. I picked streamate because I like the way it is set up with privates, the site provides good traffic, and I don't have to put in tons of hours on cam to see decent money. I am not doing as well as I can right now, but we are moving in a month and then I will have a new computer and own camming room. I will start to make clips and if it doesn't get better after the summer for me then I think I will branch out to another site.

    Branching out is a wise thing to do. Fetish clips seems to be really popular. I have seen ass worship, putting on lip gloss, tons of feet clips, humiliation, stockings, pantyhose, booby bouncing, etc. If you can think of it, someone likes it.

    It never ever hurts to cam on two sites. When I do it I use two different computers and camera's. I know there is ManyCam and a few other programs you can use to split can using one computer.

    I am able to do that with SM, IL and AW. I just select the same cam/mic for all 3. If I wanna skype or record a clip using my cam software, however, it will say my cam is busy and I have to log off those sites first.

    I dont know how u do this but for me is not working and never did, as i said if i try to select the same video device (my camera) for more than one site it says 'camera is in use already'. Now i dont know what pc, camera and operating system u use but for me is working only with a splitcam software. TY for answering.

    Weird! When I first started camming I didn't think it would work either, but I had a friend who would do it on SM, LJ and IL and he told me to try it, so I did and it worked for me and has ever since.

    Glad it does though. I tried the splitcam software once and it slowed down my feed/computer real bad.

    I believe that only will work if you are not using the encoder. The encoder requires a splitter to splitcam if I am not mistaken.

    ^^^ I also tried it without the encoder, tried IF with IML, is not working. Maybe Billabong HAS a special setting or program her friend installed/ programmed to make things work, maybe a specific driver, i dont know, there must be something cause if it was possible without splitcam software all other girls would know too and they all talk about using splitcam software when working more sites the same time.

    Coupld someone explain how they work on 3 different sites at once? Do you do one gold show at the same time on each? Can you take privates when doing this? Please help me explain.

    No special code or program, when I say no software I mean it. My friend is in Canada, I'm in the US so he did nothing special for me. I told him I didn't think streaming the same cam on multiple sites would work and he said it does and to try it. That was 4 years ago and I've successfully done it with 3 different computers, 2 different OS and 3 different cams. I just plug in the cam, sign in the sites and stream!

    I don't understand why you can't do the same.

    Heres a SS streaming all 3 sites at once. I use IL in the forefront cuz it clearly shows what cam and mic I'm using. No special program open on my taskbar.

    Don't feel like you "have to" branch out. If SM is working for you then stick with it. Hone your craft, gain experience, try new things within your current framework. Then, when you feel comfortable and ready, you can try other places.

    If you're a new camgirl it's a good idea to research the best camsites, make a list of the ones highly recommended by other girls (stripperweb is great for this!), then order your list in terms of which sites best meet your needs. Then try each one out one by one. Give each site a good month at least to allow yourself to learn how to properly navigate the site & all its features, and for you to build up a following.

    Sites like Clips4Sale are great for sideline income. But they are secondary to camsites (at least at first), where there is far more, and more immediate, money to be made. If you're inexperienced and/ or feeling overwhelmed, then don't rush into joining sites like these too soon. You can build up fans as you cam, and material (you can film your cam shows for later use!), and open a store later.

    Lots of us say don't put all your eggs in one basket, and that's good advice, but you can also spread yourself too thin and burn out quickly. SM isn't going anywhere in a hurry, and c4s is a good sideline to have. You need patience and dedication to filming & updating your store regularly. With that you should see sales pick up. Those two sites together are just fine until you're really sure you're ready to take on more xx
