[Tutorial] Clips4Sale (clips stores) and Starting Out in the Biz

[Barefootsies]

wouldnt offering a clip on a store take paysite sales away? if you give the customer a chance to pay $3 or $10 instead of $25 they will always send you less $$$

That's theory. Not practice.

I find those buying clips in a given month are spending MORE than a membership EVERY month. Some like hundreds of dollars more.

Keep in mind. I am updating 3-5+ times a week. No this once a week, 4 times a month shit. Also I do not just think sales are going to come to me because I have a store front. I go and get em.

It doesn't matter. You can tell them everything, let them follow you around all day for weeks....because at the end of the day it requires work, and that's the one thing 99% of the people who will read this don't want to do.

Most of the people here asking questions are looking for some magic trick or super secret to basically print money while they smoke a bowl and eat cheetos....they got this idea because most of the people out there selling literature on web marketing pretty much promise you that.....but that's not the way it works.

I'll tell you the reason I know this also.

Years ago I had a paysite with exclusive content and an affiliate program. I figured the best way to build up good affiliate traffic was to get some motivated newbs and teach them everything I knew about generating traffic and sales, then they would grow to be whales and be loyal.

This is how it happened with me and Naughty America back in the day when they were just one teen paysite and the name Naughty America didn't even exist yet. Many moons ago.

Anyways....I got some volunteers.....I gave them a road map to making money with TGPs and Link Lists (the two biggest traffic sources at the time), I gave them free bannerless hosting, free content, paid the subscription fees for the submission software, and even paid designers to make custom templates for their galleries/sites.
I also made myself available to them pretty much 24/7 to answer any questions they had about the biz.

You know how many signups I got out of that deal?

3

3 signups, from over a dozen people that I gave everything to on a silver platter.

See, once they realized it would require work to make money, they weren't so interested anymore....even though there was no out of pocket cost for them and no learning curve for them.
Everyone wants money, but not everyone is willing to do what it takes to earn money. They'd rather goof off on GFY or watch Seinfeld or whatever.

interesting post..

when everyone jumps on the same boat it has a tendency to sink

clips4sale worked way better for us back in the day when it was less of a Walmart

Agreed. For some it has.

This is exactly right. CalicoJack and I have been in the celebrity game, and foot fetish about the same time. 10-11 years each. We can both honestly say, and have repeatedly said,..

I can give you the exact blueprint to what I do. You may be more or less successful. But you are not going to mirror me exactly. In the end it will come down to how much you want it, and will you put in the work. Online is no different than REAL LIFE. It is work all the same. Just more freedom.

Some people can't handle it. Most fail.

Interesting this comes up here because I was just listening to "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" last night, and he had a quote in there from "The Common Denominator of Success" by Albert E.N Gray.

Gray had studied successful people to try to find the one thing they all had in common.
The answer he came up with was "Successful people have a habit of doing things that failures don't want to do"
They don't like doing them anymore than the failures do, but they are disciplined and motivated and push themselves to do the things that success requires, while the failures find excuses to not do them.

yeah that work thing...pretty important.

i was thinking of doing a paysite, & dropping off older clips into the clipstore so the paysite's size stays manageable. But i still worry about peoples passing over a subscription because they can drop a few bucks instead.

It's not a mistake, unless your refuse to correct it.

It's not a failure if you get back up and keep trying.

Something.. .tenacity.. .bullheadedness... perseverance... to make it online.

Not everyone has it.

No offense. Wrong outlook.

Whether $2 per clip 10 times a month. Or $30.00 membership.

A sale is sale.

Do you have a ref link? I've got a TON licensed DVD content, this might work out for me too.

From one clips4sale fan to another, that was a very good post! My store is sitting in the number one spot right now...which is a first. Clips is a great way to make money while receiving the benefit of immediate feedback. It can addictive too. ;-)

No referral link.

Just go sign up to all the clip stores, put in the work, and go buck wild man.

Thanks love.

When can I get a picture of your toes . Or better yet, buy a clip with another woman sucking on em.

Also, congrats on the placement.

yeah...i know a small sale is better than a no sale. pricing is a critical aspect of marketing your product & getting the sale. i just feel that having your product at 2.99 on the web takes away a chance at a bigger revenue bite. record industry deals with this shit when they try to sell albums instead of singles. the customers want the singles cause they can pay less & get what they want without paying filler. But in the end, the producer ends up with less money in his pocket.

But im speaking abstractly. you guys have the experience. you tell me what to do

People have the option of purchasing my videos individually or buying a membership for $40 a month. My membership web site has thousands of videos and hi res photos....years worth. You would be surprised how many people spend more than $40. purchasing single clips than joining the web site...every month. Beyond that, think of selling clips like selling samples. You actually get paid for people to watch enough of your content to decide if they like it enough to join your web site. :-) Clips4Sale rocks.
