Anyone here making any real money with http://www.clips4sale.com ?

If so, what kindo of numbers?

Clips4Sale is good as a secondary income.

That said, it's possible to make a nice chunk of change full time if you like, it's not to hard
as long as you have good niche content and work at updating your shit.

Easy enough to do a few k a month there.

man, it depends only on how you run your shop, you can make thousands or you can make few bucks, depends on your content and updates, if i get the question right ... :)

This sums it up well hitting on the key points.

1. Consistency.
2. Ease of entry and skill level.
3. Niche.

If you're already doubting out of the gate, this is not for you. Consistent routine will make or break you in a clip store and you have to be willing to do the work on a daily basis.

Where do you get visitors for the store? Do they come from the site itself?

There are two ways.

1. From main page, and niche page, rankings clips4sale traffic.
2. Drive additional traffic yourself via other methods.

You can survive on just the clips4sale traffic if you know how to work it. However, depending on where this piece fits in your business model. I would also recommend you push some secondary traffic in there. It can't hurt. Also work the clips.com if you feel frisky for more money.

I would also read the walk through on, "How Do I Get Started?"

Rankings is a nice page to get traffic from, especially if your rank is higher.

fatfoo you crack me up.

Thanks guys!

I personally don't like them. Too much crap on their site, when they first came out you made money, but now the company has changed, (still no affiliate program) for promoting clips which sucks, they don't know how to run their own company. A couple models I tried putting up there I lost money on cause they shut down my account for no reason stating that my docs were not proper when I had ID and basic releases for my models. I will never promote or use them again. I have since learned to open up my own ecomerce store (enable downloading) and sell it myself making all the money. I have a shopping cart that will do this.

Correct.

If you think they are supposed to drive you all the sales and you do not want to do any work yourself, or know how to work the system, then you will fail and should find something else to do with time and efforts.

C4S is no different than anything else online. It requires some level of work and consistency.

I got my start on C4S. I had just decided I was going to shoot me some porno so I got a room for a week at the Intown Suites and decided I would just shoot as much as I could in a week and see what I could do with it. I remember the exact moment when one of the girls was putting her clothes back on and happened to blurt out "I shot for a guy the other day who told me he's making pretty good money on Clips4Sale." I'm like "huh, what's the name of it? How's that spelled? F O R sale or 4sale?"

Went home and opened a store, loaded up 5 scenes the next day. It was the 18th of the month, that month I made $1200. Next month I made $3500. That was in I believe September of 2007. I made between 3k to 4.5k each month up until I started my own paysite at which point a lot of the buyers just went over to the paysite. But I still make $400-$800/month there updating whenever I feel like it. I've never sent one single hit to the store myself. It's all been glorious, luscious, hallelujah C4S traffic.

Without C4S I would have given up pretty fast so I feel like I owe them a lot.

Anyway, there's a long story you didn't ask for at all. :-)

I've heard from some other people who make most of their money from C4S that sales are well down but lots of companies sales are way down right now. Barefootsies seems to be a C4S master so I'd listen to him for advice if I were just starting out there.

But, only one way to find out for sure. Slap up some scenes and see what happens.

Nice story. What kind of content did you sell there?

The same content that's on BrokeAmateurs<sig for link>

Thanks for your reply. I'm surprised that this kind of content converts there. I was told that only fetish and extreme niches are selling well there.

No comment...

people don't waste your time.. Get a shopping cart that enables downloads, buy your own merchant account and then recruit models, you can even recruit models off clips4sale and offer them a percentage of sales from your own shopping cart. I do this now and make tuns of cash.. No need for c4s.. it's too saturated. Plus my own merchant account won't shut me down!. I can sell anything I want with them and I keep all my own money!.

in 07 I was pulling in 10k monthly, then in mid 08 they went down for about a month in july, lost a processor, when they came back my sales cut in 1/2 so that's where i am since mid 08..around 4-5k a month, but my stuff is niche too..regular shit doesn't sell worth a fuck..

A very inspiring story! I'd rep you, if I could. :winkwink:

some people here make at least 10K per month with it..

try to shoot some amateur vids with some hookers doing a foot-job on your own dick and then upload it, no need to show your face..

10K man... and your investment is maybe 50 bucks at most.

Hmm looks like Kwigirl has some responses deleted by the mod. Guess she couldn't stand the heat as a consultant.

No offense toots, but I have to snicker.

Grab pen and paper folks, jot this down. If you are just starting out in this business, all you need to do is the following per the above 'hot tips'. After all, if it were this easy, EVERYONE would be doing it themselves. Including the O.P..

1. Get a merchant account. So easy to get EVERYONE does it. (not) Applying for a merchant account is a lot like applying for a house loan. I think it's actually more difficult as I have done both.

2. Recruit some models to shoot some porn. Report back on the 'ease' of doing this as well. Where you find them, interview them, and get them to shoot porn. Which says nothing of them actually being able to do a scene that can make you money back on that investment of cash and time.

3. Yep. Run out and grab just any ole shopping cart and throw some clips on there. I am sure once you've done this, those customer come just a flocking to your site to check out your porn wares and the money you'll make off just throwing up some clips on a shopping cart of your own should be endless. Oh, that's right. You will get to keep it all for yourself.

:upsidedow

Hi there! Me and my wife have decided to open a studio on C4S. We want to shoot some hot videos and sell it on our studio. Do we have a chanse?
We need just fun and some money, not professional movies with models. Do we need some license on our content or something like this?

UP^
I'm still waiting your answers.

You won't have a chance... until you learn how to spell "chance".

Just mistake. I mean chance, of course.

Not for at least 4 years....could be skip/shave sale function mentioned here a few months ago could be saturation or combo of both

You must have the absolute worst luck on the planet and in this industry... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Bitching about CCBill

Bitching about Zombaio

Bitching about Verotel

Accusations of Shaving

....and now no money on Clips4Sale and throwing around more allegations?!?!

Frankly, it sounds like you need to find another line of work.
:2 cents:

I have talked with a couple people making a fair chunk from it. Or at least so they say.

Thanks for your suggestion but I will take the suggestion of my fans/members and stick with it... besides my gripes are with the shady processors and slight of hand tricks being played with our money... and every allegation I have hurled is founded and with merit...

If you cared about your industry as a whole and not just your petty plateau of clips4sale expertise than you could enlighten and inform others about the risks and general fraud going on in adult processing.

Priceless comedy.

I've been in this industry since 1997, and know a hell of a lot more about the front, and back alleys than you do. Thats' for damn sure. Including not running to a message board to cry over a payment an hour late after a Federal holiday, or throwing around allegations about companies with intent and malice.

If you did not live paycheck to paycheck, than you would not be so quick to blast companies on message boards before the banks even open. Much trying to intentionally hurt their reputation and business.

:2 cents:

The banks love and appreciate how you defend their pride an honor with such tenacity while I try to keep them honest...

Living paycheck to paycheck for some is noble but for a pompous expert on everything I suppose it is disdainful and repulsive... sound a lot like a banker

I find it found money from content I already made money from. There are guys who refuse to join sites but will pay $20 for one scene of content. It makes me laugh experiencing that and then hearing people on this board saying porn should be sold like itunes.99 cents a scene. Ive worked in adult for over 27 yrs. When jobs are scare more girls turn to adult. So places like clips4 sale grow. I kick myself, a friend had been telling me for years to do clips for sale and I didnt want to be bothered.

C4S is a great way to make extra money. I've had numerous stores up there for many years now. I upload the same content that you would get when you join my network for $24.95, but for whatever reason, the C4S crowd is happy to pay WAY more than that, just to buy a few clips! I woke up today to over $300 in clip sales from just ONE customer! He could have joined PeckerPass.com for under $25 and gotten ALL of the clips he just bought, plus HUNDREDS more, but decided that shelling out over $300 was the better plan. You gotta love it!

Are you saying some talk BS??? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

We did alright on c$s with content people can't shoot today. It was already shot and edited so putting it up was easy. Never felt like wasting time driving traffic to the clip stores. But with the ease many say it is, it would be flooded. If you look closely at what people say it's a way to earn some money shooting some cheap content.

We have got a lot of sign ups on the paysites from C4S and for that it was good.

Also it depends on what you call decent money. :winkwink:

Many producers are making more than a sufficient living off their clip stores on www.Clips4Sale.com and have done so for quite some time.
Unfortunately this industry is not what it use to be where you could post some clips and just have money roll in. Now days you have to actually put in effort and it is recommended for the best ROI to update your studio as frequently as possible.

In regards to the shave/skim accusations, such information is not true and the individual who started the rumor is being tended too.

If you are a studio that is not making the desired revenue that you wish to be making then don't hesitate in contacting support @ clips4sale.com for advice as the support staff are always there to help.

Studio support hours are between 8am - 8pm EST.

Fyi - If I can ever be of assistance I can be reached via jo @ clips4sale.com

Hey there

I would advise doing some research. www.C4S.com is mainly driven by amateur fetish niche content so basic hardcore porn may not make the cut.
Try something out side of the box and maybe get some idea's simply by looking at what is currently the top selling clips on the site which is displayed on the main page. (http://clips4sale.com/do/list)
If bondage ain't your thing try foot fetish. Hate your feet? Then give Humiliation a go.
Can't decide? Then TRY THEM ALL! :)
There is over 500 different categories on the site.

In regards to having licenses etc. If you are shooting the content and are not in it then it is advised (and I hate telling people this) but you need to have your wife sign a model release form EVERY TIME you shoot content. Also have a copy of her ID on hand.
If you are both in the content then legitimately you should both sign model release forms.

Despite being married, if something were to happen in your relationship, in order to not encounter serious complications if things go south between the 2 of you it is in both your best interest to consider this as you would any other business.

If she leaves you and demands for the studio to be shut down does she have the right to demand such things? YES she does if there is no legal documentation permitting for her content to be there.

Just food for thought. :winkwink:

I hope this info helps and if you have any further questions then please don't hesitate to contact me directly. :thumbsup

jo @ clips4sale.com

That function never existed, it was a bullshit rumor started by a well known scammer on this board that C4S terminated for selling stolen content...

Many many thanks for your post. Now, I have some new questioins =)
1) I've already done research. We shoot clips like femdom, cfnm, footjob, handjob, blowjob, fetish etc.
2) But if we would shooting clips without license of model on my girlfriend? What consequences would we get?
3) Thanks for comment once again, but do you know how much really we can earn with our conditions?
And how much we would pay for studio besides 40% form earnings?

what are the bathrooms like at clip4sale's hq?

C4S isnt the place for your type of pretty girl content

i have a friend who shot videos of one of the hottest cutest teen models on the planet, she had only done very softcore stuff previously - he paid her a lot of money to do a few hardcore videos, he shoots a load that makes Peter North look like he's shooting blanks - i've never seen a face/head coated with cum like this, all you could see was two eyes peeking out of this white dripping slime...... he put the videos on C4S and this was when C4S was supposedly at its peak, he did 3 lousy sales or something. if it's not some micro-fetish it's not gonna sell much on C4S, my friend's stuff other than the massive load was just a standard teen hardcore video.

True dat fine sire.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :thumbsup

That's mostly true about non-niche pretty girl sex content selling poorly on C4S compared to fetish clips, but not entirely. I first put up my clip store back in early 2008 selling mostly already years old teen lesbian, lesbian cheerleader and kissing clips from my DVD movies that I shot between 1999 and 2004 and I managed to sell around $15,000 of clips in the last three or so years. I was really working hard for the first year or so updating it constantly to the front page and sending some of my own traffic too. I haven't updated in a while and it's dropped off to a trickle of sales now, but that was a nice way to re-sell the same content I already made money on a half dozen different ways.

How many clips for a start?? And how many visitors do you usually expect in the first days? I cant imagine how a shop selling $10 clips can be profitable with just the internal traffic. Do they get that many visitors a day??

Why dont you allow pee clips? I mean, just girls pissing on the ground.

Do you require shop owners to send you model release and photo copies of IDs for each video?

Bump for answers :winkwink:

EXACTLY!!

And to answer the original question - yes, you can do very well with clips4sale if you work smart.
