The best places to sell pics and vids.

I've been putting together a list of the best places to sell pics and vids online, to compare sites.

I had to make a judgement call on what 'best' really means, if I have to be specific I'd say there are two criteria: customers and costs. I don't know if there is a magic ratio where a lower percentage will be made up for by higher traffic or vice versa, but I've tried to compile the main outlets along with their price versus traffic below:

For starters, the sites I've done extensive research into (keep in mind this blog isn't about camming, it's about selling pre-made pics and vids and stuff):

So I did a lot of research into ExtraLunchMoney and MyGirlFund as you can see by their pages up at the top. So how do these two stack up?

1. MGF - Percentage is variable, from 10-35% depending on how much you earn over the lifetime of your fund. Traffic wise they have about 21,000 a day. Not exactly setting the internet on fire, but it's decent.

2. Extra Lunch Money - They use a credit system where a buyer pays $1 per credit and when you cash out you get 65 cents, meaning their take is 35%. As for traffic, they are pretty new and boast about 1000 visitors a day.

Raw visitor numbers are easy to quantify, but it's more difficult to judge quality. For example, ELM is very active on Twitter and message boards, so most of their visitors are probably girls on the sales side, not as many customers while most other sites leave the promotion to the models, meaning the visitors are more likely to be customers.

3. Clips 4 Sale - Probably the original place to sell pics and vids. They take a little bit more - 40%, but their traffic is huge, 427,000 a day. Granted most of it is directly to individual stores or users, but that's nothing to sneeze at.

4. Hot Movies - Seems like a very poor deal as they take 80% of the purchase price (yipe!) despite the huge amount of visitors they have, over 580,000.

5. Rude - Uses a token system but is set up to take 50% of the sale price. More than made up for by the huge amount of traffic, over 1.4 million visitors every day!

6. Skin Video - Is a decent sized site, but they charge 50%. So 51,000 a day and 50%.

7.  X-Tube - Is the biggest site on my list at 2.7 million visitors a day. They take 50% as well.

So there you have it, choose wisely and good luck, ladies.

TIps for working online.

There are basically three ways to get paid on a cam site - some cam sites allow tipping and some do not, some allow you to sell content and some do not, and some allow you to offer private shows and some do not.  This article is for those girls who are on sites such as MyFreeCams or Streamate, which allows the members to tip, or go private for one-on-ones  or off site for Skype shows, or sites like MyGirFund where you can sell content and do one-on-one shows.

It depends on what you’re comfortable with, but you can make a lot using just the tip feature provided by some websites if you are better live, or just by selling content if you are better doing scripted or personal shows.  Whatever your biggest strength is, use it as much as you can.  If you do, you’ll make more money in the long run than trying a little bit of everything.

Here are some tips for getting tips:

1. Update your topic/status every time you log in.  Keep it fun, sexy and flirty. Give guys a reason to talk to you about it, so they don't just start in with 'SHOW ME UR TITS BB!'

2. Set multiple goals for members to reach.  If they reach the goal, they get a “prize” such as a flash, a strip tease, a nude dance, a huge thank you, etc. this way they don't get discouraged that if they give you a small tip that they won't see anything good.

3.  Remind the guys in your room about your higher goal, but be careful not to sound like a beggar.  So as you build up the small goals on your way to your larger goal you are making money all along, and you are making your time pay, while keeping it fun for the guys.

Here are some tips for your Clips4Sale store or MyGirFund account:

1. Have a set goal on what you want to earn for each set, you can add other things in as a bonus, but make sure you know what you are actually getting per set or per video. Factor in the % that the site takes and the cost of the payout for every set.

2. Be sure to cultivate a set of regulars that you can go to every time you upload a new video. If you have 10-20 regulars that you say hi to and talk to on a regular basis, when you upload a new clip or set, they are very likely to buy, so you could easily sell 10 copies of a video the day you upload it, just to your regulars. If you are making $10-$15 per video, that's a $100 day right off the bat after only 10 mins of work!

3. Try to avoid sob stories. It is tempting to be honest with guys about what your situation is but it's actually counterproductive. Instead of finding guys who are interested in you and want to be friends/supporters, you are broadcasting that you are depressing and people tend to stay away from depressing people. If you want to attract guys and customers, you need to be positive and interesting, since people gravitate towards positive, interesting people.
