So the Top studios on Clips4sale......
 

are the top moneymaking studios on that site? If so, one of the top five studios shoots right here in my city...Maybe I can observe how he operates.

It is my understanding that they rank "Top Studios" as the stores that sell the highest number of clips. Not the highest money-making stores. So, if you sell 4 x $5 videos, you're ranked 4 times higher than a store that sells 1 x $20 video. Now, the odds are that the stores that sell the highest number of clips are also in the highest money-making category. I'm just telling you what I heard.

I got that about a year ago from an employee so it may have changed since then but probably not.

That is my understanding as well.

ok that makes sense...But some of the top studios have no more than 5 total clips....They must be selling a shitload of them.

probably :pimp

Incidentally, and this question probably gets asked a lot :)
Is it possible to buy clips off here w/ a weblicense to use on sites?

Yes it is.

I allow clip store use, as well as website. I do not allow tube use, or I should say, I allow very limited tube use. But that will vary from content providers.

Thanks for the response.. is there any easy way to contact the studios directly, or is it normally google til you strike an email address?

Content providers on GFY you should be able to find their ICQ and/or email contact in sigs.
From there, you have to pick a niche, and find something in your price range.
