So many general questions

[gingerhobbit]

Not trying to be all feels-y, but you guys are awesome and this thread is awesome.

Yes you are awesome. Wonderful.
This afternoon I've been experimenting with some make up on my boobs. and it did something but didn't make my boobs look very big.
I have a 34 A. Because hormones barely got my boobs, the surgeon didn't want to go higher than this because I need time to get my skin stretched. I could have a next boob job in a year or two.

I was actually thinking if anyone has experience with adhesive silicone boobs ( on google I find stuff like aphrodite) but I would never do it if you can not use it with make up and then I would go really big. It would be okay to look fake, but fake in a way as if you've had a Pamela Anderson kind of boob job, not like it's adhesive. The more realisic looking ones are very expensive, so if I'd go ahead with it, it should be worth the cost and then I won't go from A to B.

Thank you, so many categories, is it up to you to pick a category? Because it doesn't always seem to be obvious.
Is there a limit on how many videos you can shoot a week, a month?
And an average of what you can earn of you ( let's say) shoot one video a week?

1. Here's what the form looks like when you're uploading a clip:


The "clip category" and "related categories" sections are drop-down boxes with the category list. You select the main category for your clip, and it will go on the page for that category, while the related categories will show up in search results. You can also type into the "keywords" fields any other categories or related words regarding your clip (many include spelling variations, as well as their name).

2. The only limit to how many videos you can shoot is how much time and effort you put into it. I personally have three studios (you're allowed up to four) and aim for at least a new clip every other day, ideally a new clip every day, so from 9-21 per week.

What I like to do is plan my clips for the week, and use a 3-day schedule: film on day one, edit on day two, upload on day three. You can queue the clips to post automatically, so you don't have to film every single day.

3. Shooting one video a week is a good start, but if you update more frequently, you'll get more sales. It's very rare that I don't make minimum payout, which is $50, even during months that I upload nothing, but if I upload for half of the month, I make between $100-200. You can adjust your minimum payout to higher than the $50 it's set at, so that you won't get paid unless it's worth paying the wire transfer fee.

Many of us release our clips in two formats (WMV and MP4 are the most common, and you can use the program Freemake Converter to convert formats). This gives you two options - upload one version one day, and version two the next, giving you two days of fresh uploads, or you can upload both versions on the same day. I like to have my clips go live at 6am and 6pm, so I catch multiple time zones, and get folks on the US while they're perving before and after work. C4S time is EST.



And I see that you're concerned about your breasts being small. That's fine! Plenty of people love little boobies, so it really won't negatively effect your income. Only worry about them if you personally are not happy with their size!

Thank you, Saffron. What a great help. Could you elaborate on the studio thing? Like what type of studios you can choose from?

Everyone gets a studio, but you can choose the main category of the store.
I think they may have you fill out the category during sign up, but here's a pic from the edit clip site info page. In the red is where you can pick your category. You can change the category as well. If you wanted one store to reflect a specific category more than another, that's one way to do it.

Thanks, Ann. Over the last few days, I've been asking a few people over here some questions on the legal part in this country. We got a great social security system, probably the best one in this world, but on the other hand it makes it much harder to start a job like this, especially when you're ill. I'll have to explain everything and a control doctor will need to assess whether this is positive for my development or not.

You know what I hate? Whenever I try to talk about this with people I thought they were openminded, their only answer is: don't do it. There are other things you can do ( but only pay 10 euros-dollars an hour)
I will need to pay for many years for the surgery and this type of job could make life easier.

They all claim you will suffer from it mentally, but I'm not that type of person. Long before I started my transition, I've been with guys, had sex with them and thought they were the love of my life, but the next day they dumped me. It wasn't that I haven't got over it. Some people even dare to compare cam work with child abuse, how dare they do that?

I absolutely love this thread!
I am not in transition and only a girl for sex or on cam but a lot of the advice goes for me as well, especially the one about looks.
But you shouldn't be too worried about it. I was really concerned about so many things about my looks when I broadcasted for the first time but my viewers were really kind and seemed to like it.
Just give it a try!

And I'm just glad to see a trans person being active on this forum.

Thank you. The only issue is: our law is so complicated that if anyone would notice that I started this without the permission of a doctor ( claiming this is positive for me) that I can get in real big trouble. Some must know Belgium.
