    Default Should I expect to make a lot of off IWC alone?

    I opened up an IWC store recently, and am curious if I could make good money off of my IWC store alone. I'm currently selling 4 videos, 3 pictures, and plan to add way more items, but mainly photos! I'm not super duper conventionally pretty or anything. Can anybody give me tips for IWantClips newbies?

    edit;; to add: are my prices too low? I have two two minute videos for two us dollars, one three minute video for three dollars, and one eight minute video for eight dollars. my three photos are 2 dollars each

    Have you read the iwantclips thread?
    Photos never sell well on iwc. And you really should have a $5 minimum for those videos. If I have a video between 5-10 minutes I always charge $9.99 for it and people buy them. I think a 5 minute minimum works best as well, unless it's a teaser video.

    They don't sell well on clips4sale either. I stopped doing photosets because they never sold. Clips seems to be where its at.

    @intheshadows I'd sign up to more sites and focus on clips. Those that seem to do well selling content are on all the popular clips site and they upload new videos a few times a week some even release more than 1 clip a day. Besides Iwantclips many upload to.... Clips4sale, Manyvid, Kinkbomb, Adultwork, Niteflirt, etc. A list of clips sites can be found here The Clip Site List Thread.

    Looks don't seem to really matter, its more so your personality, your video ideas and how well you can convey whatever fetish you're doing.

    Hey sorry, I tried to merge this thread with the mega monster IWantclips thread, but a glith in the mod system won't let me do it.

    But here for you, OP is that thread:

    Thanks for the info guys, will be looking into opening more stores up. Since I have such a large amount of photos (140 maybe? and definitely still counting i take nudes periodically) what is a good site for me to sell those on?

    edit;; also to add; WOULD it be possible to make good money off of IWC alone if I had a really LARGE amount of videos to add?

    Given the information you provided, I will answer this with no. You should not expect to make a lot off of IWC alone with two 2min, 1 three min and 1 eight min clip and 140pics behind. That would not work if you were super unconventionally MEGA pretty either. There is just not enough sales and traffic volume hitting each other to generate earnings qualifying for the term "a lot".

    In fact, I am not sure if you should talk to doug at iwc or to boyru on here. Both might be good options.

    Like I said, I plan on creating way more videos as well as signing up for way more sites

    side question: is it allowed to advertise your amazon on iwc, c4s, and kb?

    Yeah you can advertise that on those sites, but if you want to make $$$ instead of gifts (that people usually want to get something in return for) I'd focus on new vidoes/content before wishlist.

    If you're looking for a new camera or film equipment you can make like a video about upgrading and getting people to help then offer the first video to them for free once you get it in your hands. Gifts should be last on your mind. First new content, then scheduling, then building a good following, then making sure it's steady income, then gifts as a bonus.

    You said you would look into opening up more stores. In my opinion, you did not say that you were going to make a lot of videos. You said "WOULD it be possible to make good money off of IWC alone if I had a really LARGE amount of videos to add?

    Since you give no information about how many clips, what kind of clips etc. you are actually going to make (and that's still hypothetical), there is not much to say about that, so given the clips and pics you now have, you should not expect to make a lot.

    On iWC alone, you would have to have a special kind of clips to even make anything and you would need a lot of them, including a following, marketing etc.

    If you want to know if very few people can make a LOT (define a lot) off of iwc alone: yes. If you could be one of them? Statistically speaking, your chances are about 0.000....01

    Ohh okay sorry, YES I do plan on creating a lot of more videos to add

    What is the best way to create a following? And would I have to pay for marketing?

    The best way to create a following is posting interesting things / pictures for free on sites suitable to create a following (tumblr, twitter, facebook, fetlife, imagefap, pornhub, xvideos etc). Post regularly and continuously and your followers will grow. Few of these will actually buy things. The best thing is to not even mention / have a store and create a following first. Post pictures and videos of you without / with only an innocent watermark. Start a youtube channel about bikinis if you want to. Collect many followers and then, one day, ease in with selling a clip. Expand innocently until you open a clip store. That seems to be the way to go when doing long term strategy, but most won't be able to pull it off posting free stuff for a year when they actually planned on earning money. Most shoot their load too early and it all backfires.

    You can also cultivate a newsletter list of your buyers. Good thing is, they have bought from you so they are more likely to do it again. Downside is, every one of them probably likes different things so you have to come up with newsletters that appeal generally.

    Question: Would it be a TERRIBLE idea to use my real name?? I really don't want a 'porn name'...

    edit:: to add, being outed doesn't really scare me tbh. so, really, what are the odds of me being stalked or killed or some shit from using my name?

    Never, ever ever use a real name. It's not about being outed, it's about not having some weirdo find you and rape you and kill you and those chances go up significantly doing this job. I had someone find out where I lived and constantly post it in my chatroom for everyone to see. People get angry and now that they know your name they can find you. Lots of cam girls have accidentally ran into someone that recognized them in real life - including me. That can escalate really quick. What are the chances? Pretty fucking high if you give them a way to find you.

    If you don't care about being outed, then great, but there's a reason why even porn stars use fake names.

    If you don't care about being outed, then great, but there's a reason why even porn stars use fake names.
    Exactly having a fake name protects your identify and safety (which even extends to your family). If someone has your real name all they have to do is google you to get your address, phone number and your relatives and friends info. Some of these stalkers/predators will go through your relatives and friends to try to get to you. You may not care about yourself getting exposed but what about your family and friends? There was a camgirl/pornstar who's info got exposed a while ago and trolls harassed her and her family. Now although she didn't put her info out there herself it just shows what can happen if your info is out there. There's no way I'd willingly open myself up to that type of liability if I can prevent it.

    There's nothing wrong with a porn name, I don't even really know what that means or what you mean by that. Actors, music artists, creative artists, authors, etc and even some business owners (doing business name) use alternative names and go through the process to protect their personal info. Why would you even want to take the chance or give anyone the chance to stalk or kill you if you can help it? I really hope you take the time to read around this forum before you dig deeper into this industry.

    If you're thinking of using your real name it's time you stepped away from the adult industry. Do some waitressing or an office job x
