Video competition vs cam competition

[SMuser69]

When you making videos do you feel they have more competition against them since both other cam girls AND large production companies produce videos at the same time vs when you're just camming and only competing with the cam models online at that time? Or you don't see videos existing in an even larger pond than exists for just live camming?

I don't see amateur videos as competing with large production companies. I figure each attracts a different consumer, with some overlap. But there is an appeal to the girl filming alone in her room, compared to the professionally lit and shot studio stuff, that I think keeps them from competing too much with each other. So I've never felt much competition there.

Obviously some camgirls make amazingly high quality videos but for me personally, I never do and so I don't feel competition.

I don't see others as competition for clips, as much as I see them as an indicator of how frequently to upload in a category.

On Clips4sale, a lot of customers go to their fetish page, check the new upload list, and that's as far as they dig for new porn, so, with that in mind, I build my filming/updating schedule around that list.

Visual Aid time!

This is the "front page" of financial domination. There's a scrolling section at the top that shows the 24 most recently added clips - a weird number, I know, but that's how far down the list it goes. Below that, you have a list of the 60 most recent clips, broken into two columns of 30. Ideally, I would want to stay on that scrolling section at the top, because it gives people a visual of the clip. Since the 23rd clip in the list was added on June 13 and it's currently June 14, this means that I should shoot for a findom clip every other day to stay on this list. That's a ton of findom, which sounds a little exhausting. If I want to aim just to stay on the front page of the category, however, that gives me some more time, as the updates go back to June 10, so I would want to update the category every 4 days, which will be 1-2 times a week, which sounds much more doable.




On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Losing Weight category. Clip #24 was added on April 10th of last year. If I wanted to, I could add one clip a year in this category and still stay in the top scroll bar. In fact, since the front page list dates all the way back to 2014, I could add one clip every three years and still stay on the category front page. However, knowing that people who are into seeing someone lose/gain weight are more likely to want more frequent updates, I would probably update monthly, or weekly if there's enough difference week to week.




Side note, I also love scrolling through categories I'm interested in filming in and seeing how many ladies I know who have also filmed in that category.
