Got a Clips4Sale question? Post it here! :)

[disciple_of_lucifer]

This is kind of a general clip site question. All the clip sites I have found so far have pretty much the same stuff prohibited, and I was curious whether it would also be prohibited to do custom requests for things (specifically, consensual nonconsent/force play) through these sites' built in custom request channel. So, not actually posting these videos to the sites, but taking requests for them through the site? Dunno, just curious really. I understand 100% why these kinds of themes are against the rules
Otherwise, I suppose offering custom videos depicting consensual sexual violence play might be better served through other means, but I am not certain of the best way to collect payment for that kind of thing.
Of course maybe I'm getting ahead of myself I need to start making videos already...

If someone contacts you through the site requesting that as a custom you can accept it, just don't sell it on the site or take payment through the site. You could take gift rocket or some other means. Sorry I don't have better advice

No, that's good! OK, good to know I would hate to get banned or some such for something like that. I'm glad that I could accept the custom through the site itself, that definitely would make it a bit easier to keep straight. Thank you!

Thanks Sinna, I did try your guide but I still stuffed up making the store. I've given up on videos for now. I'm not good at selling or promoting myself, just trying to figure out how to make a html bio had been challenging enough.

Oh I had the idea that you were really going for it. I think you could do it, with c4s, you don't have to do any promotion (in the beginning) if you don't want to. The site generates a lot of traffic by itself and you would just have to upload and activate clips regularly (I suggest daily) to get some of the traffic to your store. There, you don't have to write a html bio. In fact, I would just put in a picture, as pictures draw and retain more attention than text. I think the code to use for the pictures is in my guide as well (if not, it should be in another guide or article, as I think I wrote about it). If you ever change your mind, I try to update adult-income as often as I can to add more help for starters. In fact, I think I'll add more basics, because you are not the only one that struggles with that, believe me.

Just in case she doesn't see... @Sinna

Actually, I don't get any notifications although I think I activated them. That is also why I have not been around here for so long :O I try and visit more often now.

Hi, Sinna. I spent hours reading your blog and I must thank you for all the work you've put in that. I am rethinking my approach to c4s based on your ideas. Many of your suggestions are brilliant! Keep up the good work. I wish you lots of creativity and prosperity.

Hello Christine,

thanks for these kind words, I really appreciate them. I am doing very well myself with the "test" store that I use to verify my guides. A new update to the $1000 blog is long overdue but I have some drafts ready and pictures taken, so as soon as I get the time, I will post an update. I am afraid that'll be in January though. My kids are pretty ill at the moment.

I use FLV Crunch to convert my MP4 to WMV on my mac http://download.cnet.com/Flv-Crunch/3000-2194_4-10909295.html (There's a bunch of other formats you can convert to as well)

BLESS YOU. BLESS. I have so much to learn about C4S and it just didn't occur to me to upload in multiple formats! I'm so whipped by Apple that I just put everything up in mp4 and didn't blink. Now I'm going through my archives and adding everything in wmv, thanks to you and everyone on this thread!

If you have 2 different stores, do you get 2 different 1099s for them? Or does it get combined into 1?

If it's the same payout information, then it should be just one.

 

[Sinna]

Wow, long time since I wrote here. I did indeed finish the blog entries and I got like 15 drafts open at the moment. Next up should be a small guide about gifs, gif making and gif software that's free to use

Ok, I've just opened my c4s store and have a few questions. 1. Which formats should I use? I've uploaded all my clips in m4v so far, but I know I need to add at least one HD format as well. Is there a consensus on which formats to use, or does it vary? 2. How do I upload the new format of the clip in a way that connects it to the one already uploaded? Is that even possible? Or do they just end up as 2 different clips? Thanks for any help you can give me!

You should upload in either 720 HD or 1080 HD- I prefer 1080 but obv 720 clips still sell- I would do your'e main category in Mp4 - Like if I did a Small Penis Humiliation clip I would put the Mp4 in Small Penis Humiliation and the WMV in Verbal Humiliation or Humiliation. This way you are reaching two categories. I would advise against putting up a NON-HD clip, Most guys want HD and it is the standard. Mp4 and WMV are the most common formats, I wouldn't use anything else.

From my viewing experience:

1. The two most popular formats are MP4 and WMV. Now, there are models that will post both formats or just have a 1080p and 720p MP4 (for example) format up for their store. I would stick to these 2 as they're compatible with many more programs than m4v (I think).

2. You do them as different clips. So, you would have the (for example) 1080p MP4 as the first clip and then a 720 MP4 as a 2nd clip (in a different category of course).

Hope this helps

I get cheques and it usually comes between the 10th-12th. So all of March's profit will come mid-April.

They did Payoneer once and it was glorious but never again

Read through this whole thread as well as @Sinna's SUPER helpful beginner's guide, I'm finally starting to (somewhat) get a system going. Just wondering for those who upload multiple formats of clips, how do you space them? Right now I'm doing 1080 mp4 and WMV and 720 MP4, and I'm queue one version up every two days for each video. I'm just trying to hit once a day uploads right now, I'm not filming enough content to hit multiple a day as I'm also filming for manyvids and pornhub. Anyway, has anyone really noticed any differences in hits/sales from uploading those versions closer or farther apart?

12 hours has been my ideal spacing for the last few years.

Hi, I am having problems actually watching a preview of a clips4sale video on my mobile device. I can see the gif but the video no I can't. Before yes but once again just like youtube clips4sale HAS to change it. What do I have to do now sigh.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I've never been able to view previews of videos on my phone, even gifs.

Honestly, it won't be the same quality on your phone anyways, so I can absolutely understand why support wouldn't even bother to fix this. It would make studios look bad by having poor phone previews and could cost more sales in the long run. I would recommend messaging customer support directly about your issue, or cutting your losses and either risk buying the video or find a studio who has great video descriptions and buy one of those instead.

In the power tools category, are there any chainsaw videos?

Yup! The number 8 video in that category is chainsaw revving. It looks like that category hasn't really been updated much at all since 2010..... Hmm......

Anyone getting a lot of video requests? I am getting some video requests from England.

I don't take requests but I have gotten a lot of custom requests this month but only 3 have paid. I'm getting a ton of time wasters.

Same. Lots of guys who would like something, but don't respond when I quote a price.

I'm unsure but a very good friend of mine has 7 so I'm assuming a lot

 

[dearie23]

I just have a question about categories for my new store. I have an original store that I've had since 2010 and its main category is sneezing fetish, with some sub-categories being coughing fetish, nose fetish and smoking. This to me is straight forward, however my new store I am finding a bit confusing.

The new store has a wider variety of clips which include peeing, farting, food stuffing, forced sneezing, gagging and spitting out food, body hair and painful hair removal, and all are within the realm of submission / slave type things. I don't have any idea what ONE main category to choose for this store! So far I have 10 clips and there is not a majority in one category over another.

Any help? Thank you!

 

[Alisa]

@dearie23 Now I'm new on C4S and might be wrong but could you list it under the Fetish category?

I have a category question too. So my domme store is doing great in Tit Worship category and Big Tits category. The clips are non nude. I want to open a new store just for my tit videos that are nude. Stuff I sell on MFC and tit fetish customs I made over the years. I don't want the stores to interfere too much. As in, I don't want all my findom guys finding my nude clips super easy. What category/ies should I pick for my new store?
Should I focus the domme store on Tit Worship and the nude store on Big Tits?

Yes, Tit Worship for your domme store and Big Tits for your nude store would separate the two perfectly.

Can some explain the love addiction category?
