Description too big for YT, so check out the blog for the text version: http://webcamstartup.com/manyvids-tips/
ManyVids / Twitter Integration:
Although the Twitter integration can cause shadow-bans (Be careful!) but the tool can help bring in more traffic and sales. Clicks make the video show up in the "What's Being Viewed Now" section on the homepage. So those clicks will get you exposure, and being featured on the homepage, you'll get clicks that help keeps you up there.
If you don't want to use the ManyVids auto-tweet feature, you can use programs such as TweetDeck to schedule tweets, which works as a great alternative.
Clip Titles and Descriptions:
Everyone loves a catchy title, but as a newer ManyVids model, you're going to have to be more explicit and descriptive with your titling and descriptions. Once you've built up a solid customer-base, and people know you've got good content, you'll be able to get a lot more artistic with your titles.
Title Hack: If you put "Pussy" in the title, it attracts customers like flies. Something about that word grabs their attention and makes them want to click. But by any means, be vulgar in the title. Especially if you're uploading hardcore content.
Descriptions: It's best to fully explain what the scene is about. This is mainly so that the customers know exactly what they're getting. Many customers want to know what the clips about, and by having a detailed description, they know what they're getting and won't be disappointed. Disappointed customers lead to bad reviews, which is something you definitely don't want.
Tag Section In Description: Because ManyVids looks at the description when deciding how to make content appear in search, it's a good idea to add a tag section to the description. If creating a tag section, be sure to list anything that could be an applicable tag. Get creative and try to add as many of them as possible
How To Deal With Bad Reviews:
If someone does leave you a bad review, you can usually message ManyVids about it, and they might take it off for you. Another thing you can do is message the person who left you a bad review.
A lot of times members don't realize that the rating system is geared against a model's success. If they leave a 3-4 star review, usually they're not trying to be a dick, but the video didn't blow their mind or anything like that.'
If you let them know that anything under a 5-star review makes the video lose popularity and appear not attractive, they'll sometimes go in and change it.
You can also delete a clip and re-upload it. This sucks, because you'll lose all the ratings on it, but if a bad rating is the only rating, a lot of times doing this can make a lot of sense.
ManyVids Category Tips:
When uploading a clip, ManyVids allows you to select up to five categories. This is very important, because having good categories will make it easier for potential customers to find you. Make sure to use all the categories, and use the best categories.
Category Pro-Tip: If you're passable as a teen (even if you're older), take advantage of that. The teen category performs insanely well. By any means, playing younger generally works to your advantage. Especially on the vanilla sites like ManyVids.
Setting Your Price:
There is no wrong way to set your price on ManyVids. The "Pricing Standard" across ManyVids that appears to get the most success on ManyVids seems to be $1 per minute, plus an additional dollar. Also take into consideration that videos tend to be between seven and ten minutes.
Also, go with a .99 at the end, instead of rounding up to the next dollar. This just makes the price a lot more appealing.
Intensity Of Content:
ManyVids has a feature where you're able to indicate the intensity of the video. Some people aren't looking for real hardcore content, so indicating the intensity helps them know whether or not it's something that they'd be interested in.
ManyVids Exclusive Content:
If you're not selling that clip anywhere else, you can mark it as being exclusive to their site.
Appearing In ManyVids Search:
In order to appear in ManyVids search, you must have the New Cummer Badge. That's very important. ManyVids looks at categories, titles and descriptions. So being very descriptive and keyword rich in all of these helps a lot.
