[MsCheyenne]

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.

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.

This pretty much answer's it nice and neat.

Do you use DRM on your C4S vids?

Will do.

Make sure to point me to your toes.

Agreed. For some it has.

depends how you look at it..

if you feed clipstores yourself, and your sales come mainly from self generated traffic,
then effectively clips4sale is just another % taking content delivery platform / processor

however.. regards my reference to "back in the day"

for those who don't ( or didn't then ) feed their clipstores, and rely on c4s traffic
then the majority of the in-house clips4sale traffic comes from the index page,
to show on the index page you need to be updating regular & / or advertising..
when there were LESS people signed up, stores stayed on the index longer..

Do you use DRM on your C4S vids?

Some do.

I do not.

However, again unlike many on this board, I actually police, and track down, and DMCA people monthly. So I keep a handle on my content. I do not let the shit spread like wildfire for years, and then come cry in my beer on GFY.

Agreed.

Back in the day of the POP, with less stores, you could capitalize off ONLY C4S traffic.

The main secret is how to generate traffic to your C4S store - the secret which nobody is really willing to share!

I've never tried promoting a clip store...

Personally i would rather submit movie/picture galleries promoting a paysite that has a 3 day trial for $2.95 compared to a clip store that sells a movie file for $2.95. For the sales ratios will be fairly similar due to the exact pricing - but in actuality there should be a slight advantage to the paysite for having a shitload more content. Another reason i would rather promote a paysite over a clip store - with the paysite 50%+ of the trials will actually convert to a full membership. With my sites, the average customer ends up spending over $70 lifetime. If i sent my traffic to a clip store - I would need some amazing sales ratios and repeat customers just to come close to my paysite earnings. I don't see it happening!

So whats the secret? Is it to make a special paysite tour with access to the paysite and access to the clip store? So when you submit a picture/movie gallery you are actually promoting both the paysite and the clip store at the same time? Let the customers choose what they want to pay for and hopefully generate more income that way? Basically use your paysite to promote your clip store and use your clip store to promote your paysite?

It's not really a secret as I already mentioned one of the main ways in the O.P..

Fair enough.

Damn Barefootsies, you are giving away the proverbial store with this post! Very generous of you!

PS- I am a Barefootsies clip store disciple and I have made a net of $88.97 in sales so far today at 5:18 pm EST from my clip stores. And my stores are currently mostly on autopilot without a tremendous amount of self-generated traffic.

Nah.

I still have some tips and tricks I have only shared with you and Tony404. Plenty of goodies.

I have pay sites and a clip store for each pay site. It is just extra money. Quite often it makes the pay site look like extra money LOL, I have done a lot better with clips.com in recent times though. Seems like everyone jumped on c4s bandwagon and clips.com just started up and did it based on feedback from the people listing the clips and they really made changes based on what we said. At the end of the day it is more money so why not do them all. If you don't have the time hire someone.

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.

I should really just keep my mouth shut however I am always really good at disappointing myself. You should really think about reversing that logic. New clips should hit the clip store before the paysite. The paysite is sort of the DVD store while the clip place is like the movie theater - so to speak. Many people (even current site members) will visit the clip store to pay to get the next updates before they are released on the paysite. People often have such habits, even if they know they can wait a couple weeks and get it at no additional cost beyond their paysite membership.
