An interesting note on the c4s pricing structure. As the downloadable clip model has rolled out, I see more and more sites implementing it. I've seen these sites compete on split and pricing for the content producer and the consumer. I fell for the "lower prices will make more sales" pitch at one place for a short time. But I made so little money that I didn't feel it was worth the upload time. Instead of quitting, I raised the prices to match my c4s prices. Guess what!? My money went up to a level worth participating still. So ... don't fall for it producers! Value your unique, original material. Other "clip distributors" only want you to lower your prices so THEY can compete against c4s. That's my humble opinion.
Thank you MRock, this makes sense to me. But i did not have the possibility to experiment pricing yet. I remember reading a similar idea about webcams, 3$ per minute being the floor price for solo girls. Regarding C4S, i would like to have more flexibility to make special offers. For example, putting a bunch of clips together at a special price. Or trying to sell a specific clip at a discounted price. I do not know if special offers are really a worthy marketing practice in our field though. I remember reading that introductory specials for membership, for example 10$ for 3 days, do not really help overall sales.
