Where is this 'work' you are referring to?
Scheduling updates for the day? Writing descriptions? That actually takes you 30 minutes?!? Man, these must be some grand descriptions for those each and every one of those clips. You do not have descriptions for your re-run clips on a spreadsheet you can cut and paste?
Wow.
Maybe you should invest in a typing class. Especially if you consider the actual work of a clip store and you sitting at the machine versus the time your machine is tied up and you are sleeping, eating, watching tv, working on your other machine, or beating off.
When my machine is uploading, or compressing video... ya know... things I do not have to sit there for. I do not consider that 'me' working. That is the computer doing the work.
That said, most people are not 'gaming' six clip stores doing that one hour thing on a daily basis. They would be better served focusing on doing submits (and typically already do), forum posts, tube submits, among other things, to drive traffic to their store that is a lot more effective and productive use of their time, and generate better sales.
Oh well...

Dude, don't be a dousche. I said SCHEDULING, and I just did one again to 'test it' and I'll go over it in a second. Uploading is NOT what I'm talking about. Despite your 'opinions', I am NOT an idiot so yes I can drag-and-drop an ftp file. Your tone, of course, reeks of douschebag-ery, but putting that aside for a moment:
Even WITH 'pre-typed' descriptions, you have to enter the date, and the time you want the clip to appear, plus select the image, then select the video (after you've uploaded it), then choose the time of the clip, the price, etc etc fucking etcetera.
Now maybe you can breeze through this in 30 seconds, maybe a minute (and I type 110 words per minute, dousche). Now I hit 'submit' and it takes.....1 minute and thirteen seconds for C4S to re-fresh the page, indicating this was a successful add to my store. Great! That's a single clip, which will appear for 1 hour on their homepage, which will bring me an approximate 50-100 visits to the store. If I want the above to repeat I have to do all of the above steps again. Now, if I want to schedule, say, a week's updates at once, since it gets old REAL fast to do the above every fucking day, then it can take...drum roll please...fucking HOURS.
Net income? What, a few hundred bucks? Not worth it when that same time can be spent doing other tasks that bring me more moolah.
But here's the Best Part of my whole 'you're a douschebag with your tone' tirade: I said it was not worth it in my opinion. Apparently, you have problems with other people's opinions, and always think yours is right and you're the smartest guy in the room.
Any quick read of any of your posts dismisses these delusions instantaneously.
In my opinion.
