    Default Price of videos

    Am I missing something?

    I was in a models room earlier and she was offerring 75 of her videos for 4 gold... how long are these videos? I charge around a dollar a minute for the videos that I sell in my room or on my sites. For my custom videos I charge 4 to 7 bucks a minute. I will offer some discounts for people who buy multiple videos.

    Am I charging too much? I see people all the time offering tons of clips for very little money.

    I put a lot of hard work in to my content and my clips are always 5 to 15 minutes long.

    How long are your videos? If you don't want to tell me what you charge that's fine, I'm just wondering if I ask too much for my content.

    My custom rates are 10/minute, 5-min minimum, that I resell. My non-custom rates are 1/min, unless it's a package deal or added value with show offer. Not everyone pays my rates but some do, once recently even for a 45-minute clip. (I do offer discounts at longer lengths, like 10% off 20 minutes etc.) I think 5-7 per minute is very reasonable and is in line with some of the top girls who do primarily content (and who could probably go higher but have more volume).

    If they don't want to pay, that's fine because I spend time on my recording set-up and that time is better spent on cam if I don't get compensated. Every time I think about lowering my custom rates I know that I will hate myself when time comes to record it. I am considering doing another payment structure, perhaps 50/5 mins then 5/min after that, especially if it's a clip with good resell value. Jury's out.

    she obviously doesnt give a shit where her videos end up. 75 vids of 1 girl for 4 gold is golden for people guys who wanna start up pretending theyre a woman to con men out of money. if u have any sense u wont follow her footsteps. not the mention she could get way more for them on other sites. she obviously cannot be bother to try.

    Thanks girls! I just get confused because its always top models doing it but I just can't see giving my videos away for that cheap. I mean I guess if they were all 10 and 20 second clips maybe but probably not even then.

    I sell all my vids for $20 each or $50 for 3. (they used to be $50 each, and even then guys STILL bought them!) They range from 7-10 mins in length. I rarely do customs unless its's a special that I run during celebrations/holidays or if a regular wants one, and they start at 50. (more if they are particular and don't resale well, require, or if they take more to set up or want a longer format)

    Every model is different. Some models can make vids in their sleep, so they may not put as much value in them. Some just use them as enticements to join gold shows (they come out to be virtually free in this case) And some put a lot of effort and editing into theirs so they charge more. My small amount of free time is soooo valuable to me and it takes a lot for me to make vids, so if I take the time to make a one, best believe I'm gonna make it worth it! Plus it lessens the chances of my vids ending up on free porn sites, since the guys that are gonna pay that much for my vids typically aren't gonna put them out there.

    My thoughts....If you are comfortable with your prices then that's all that matters. Don't worry about the other girls. Guys will still pay for yours, and it will be more quality guys not the cheapos. And if they like it, they will come back for more, or do private shows. Quality not quantity when it come to custies. I rather have 2 nice custies who are going to spend time with me, than 50 cheap asses who may or may not come back!

    Staples, without saying her name on here, was it a Streamate model's room? And was she running that special during a Gold Show countdown? Quite a few SM models do that...offering several videos for a total of like $3 - $5. It doesn't mean you have to do it though. I know I wouldn't. If it was me, I'd probably charge more like $5 Gold PER video...especially when you think about the fact that recording videos can be a pain/hassle, and all the work that goes into editing them. If this was Clips4Sale, guys would be paying $1/minute for videos, so I think SM Gold Show video specials like that kinda has them spoiled...lol. It's too bad SM won't just let their models have their C4S store links on their SM profiles.

    $4 wouldn't even be enough for me to spend the time sending 75 download links and the time it takes to upload each video one time to get a link to download , let alone the content. That's insane!

    I am not on SM anymore, but my videos on MGF are 3-21 minutes in length (average is around 7 minutes) and I sell them for $3-4/min depending on the content of the video. Guys definitely snatch them up.

    OP I don't think you are charging too little at all, but you might want to consider sticking to selling them on a site where your video rates are considered the norm. That's the main reason I do longer upload to c4s; I find that guys there expect me to price my videos at $1/min so I'd be forced to significantly lower my rates in order to stay competitive, which I am not willing to do because *I* make much more selling on MGF. If/when I go back to SM I won't even consider offering videos for gold because custies expect to pay too little on there and I don't feel like trying to compete for pennies profit.

    Thanks ladies. I only offer a handful of vids on SM. The rest I only offer on my pay site. It was a top row gold show that made me post this. For anyone that does charge low prices like that please don't think I'm being judgemental or rude. I often ask questions because I'm still trying to learn the industry. For the most part I don't care what other models do because I'm ultimately going to do what works for me but if I see something happening that I don't understand I like to ask about it to make sure I'm not missing out on possible income or a better way to do something. I'm glad that my prices seem fair and normal for most.
