    Default Newbie - Clips4Sale advice

    Hi all! Am brand new to the forums here but thought I'd join up and look for some advice. I have been a pornstar for a few years now and built up quite a following for myself. I have just recently set up a c4s site for myself and, although I'm new, I just do not seem to be doing very well. I have a very large Twitter and Tumblr following - approx 70k followers combined - yet I can not seem to get ANY of them to buy! I've noticed on c4s homepage that I'm averaging anything from 600 - 1000 views a day on my page yet am selling 2-3 videos a day. How is this possible!? Am constantly promoting and nothing - my site has a bounce rate of 71% which means people are coming in and leaving straight away. Am looking for any advice on how and where to promote - I feel so downhearted with it all. Am not very computer literate at all and all of my files are large - around 700MB for some files which are 20 mins plus - I'm wondering if this might be putting people off? Am also currently only posting in one format - maybe I should change this too? I know constant updates are always a good idea but just curious if my file sizes are putting people off and if so - how can I resize them without losing a lot of quality? I currently only use Windows Movie Maker and the only way I know how to resize is to save them as something like "for Windows Phone (small)" but then the quality suffers! Would be grateful for any help and advice and if anyone else started out in a similar situation. Apologies for the huge essay - I can't work out how to do paragraphs! Will check back tomorrow on this forum but thanks in advance for anyones input!

    There is a ton of advice on the forum for C4S girls, start with this one: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...e-my-knowledge and go from there I use WMM as well and I do a larger/HD version of the clip and a smaller one (I think the setting is "for email" for the little one). The more consistent you are with uploading, the more times you get bumped up the pages, the more clips you have, the more sales you get. Once you have a decent back catalog, you'll also notice you start to sell old stuff with the new stuff as well. It takes time!

    Hi Bootsie - thanks for your reply and the link! Can I just quickly ask, do you upload your clips in both MP4 and Windows Media format? And then would the higher quality HD be for example the MP4 and the small one be in Windows Media? And, finally, would you mention that the bigger clip was full HD quality in the description of the movie or is that just common sense!? Thank you!

    Prowl through a bunch of C4S stores to see how other people do it. I usually have the MP4 as the HD version and the WMV as the smaller version, but I am currently playing around with that. Absolutely put in the description if one is HD!

    Sorry Bootsie, can I just ask one more quick thing - do you have to include the dimensions of each version of the video in each description or do you just put "MP4" or "WMV version" in each description?

    Try http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Video-Converter.aspx it is cheap & easy to use. There are youtube tutorials on how to lower the bit rate & convert the files into faster downloading sizes and into wmv & mp4 versions. I also use it to film & edit my stuff into too.

    You can't just put up videos you have done for porn, not the same old stuff everybody shoots. You need to make fetish clips.
    Go down the list of fetishes, write down the ones that interest you. Then go back & research those specific niches, brain storm & come up with your twist on that niche.

    Ask your fans what kind of fetish videos they would like to watch. Get ideas from them.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    Hi Sam -
    Thank you for the link, will definitely check it out! Yep have realised fast that plain old "vanilla" porn just does not sell lol I guess all my social media fans only wanna see that from me, hence why they won't pay for it as they just go on tube sites.

    Fetishes it is!

    Keep building your social media. When they see you are doing different things in the clips & one catches their imagination they will start buying again. Plus you will make new loyal fans from the niches you excel at on c4s.

    Then take those same clips & put them up on www.mypornprofile.com www.extralunchmoney.com and get an models acct on freeones so you can sell videos there too. Thus making the most out of the videos you are making.

    You are right, guys can go to tube sites & get all the vanilla porn they want, this is why fetish is thriving. Plus it is fun, most vanilla porn is all formula, 4 positions & cum on face aka BORING! C4s made porn fun for me again. To be a little twisted is a blast.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    Wow thanks so much for all your help! Totally appreciate it and loving the community spirit here on this site

    One final question (!) do c4s have an exclusivity policy? For example you can't post the exact same clip anywhere else?

    The only thing that has to be exclusive to Adultwork is your main profile picture(s). xx

    So... All the videos you have on Aw, get them uploaded onto C4S! :-D

    Also, remember that on AdultWork you're not allowed to have copyrighted music in your videos (or "movie clips," as they call them on there). I actually didn't know this at first, so my booty clapping video was removed, but I think I just ended up uploading a version of it without music.

    Ah, good advice - thank you! I always use to do dancing videos with music to dance to until I realised.
