I like this site. Before doing cam my passion has always been to make videos and I have so much material. Uploading is also quick to video in HD format. Now there is also the possibility to show in webcam, you sure the site has to grow up, but every person who is registered and entered the room put money for your show... honestly for me is better than staying here. % is awesome! I like the relaxed atmosphere and the staff that responds quickly to any doubt. 5 stars to youkandy for sure.

This site has a lot of potential but needs a lot of work before it goes anywhere. The UI was great and the video quality was excellent, too. My members loved it (that I brought myself).
However, 0 traffic. Of the three nights I tried this (4 hour shifts each), besides myself and my members I brought myself, we had ONE guest. ONE. Not exaggerating. ONE. And this guest stayed maybe like... 1 minute or less.
For the contest they are running, the point system seems a little off. I had to message support because I was not getting points for members "viewing my webcam" which it stated on the contest thread. In the 3 nights of 4 hour shifts (12 hours total), they credited me 60 points. Really? Haha. I suppose it's mostly for selling content as oppose to caming. If I read right in the contract, too, you are signing away your rights to anything that you upload on the site. I sticked with the cam part.
On the cam model part of it, the box you see yourself is SUPER tiny with no way to make it larger without maximizing the whole website (and that doesn't help much, either). I could hardly see what I was doing. Another feature I didn't like was that, while I was camming, my profile picture was no longer my avatar. It was actually a screencap of my stream. Ughhhhh!
As many ladies have said, 100% commission (while they are still "developing" and "advertising") of $0 is still $0. YouKandy really needs to invest in some traffic and recruit models that can bring a following before anyone else should waste their time :/

I liked this site at first. I've been there a few months and have only sold 3 videos. So I've never made payout and I don't like that I have a maximum limit I can put on my videos. 1. They're my videos, I should be able to price them whatever I think they're worth. 2. $10 (for the customer mind you) is really low, for me at least..

Don't be fooled by my 5 star rating. The traffic is decent, but filled with cheap customers. I don't price my videos as cheap as most girls on here do, but I still sell them.. Not as much as my other content sites, though! I make my minimum payout every week, which is on the lower side. I get a LOT of custom requests, too. Most aren't outrageous haha it's definitively worth a try!

Not much traffic, when you do reach payout the majority of the time its late.

Slightly clunky interface but thought I'd go for it so did a lot of research.
If you follow the process it's worthwhile.
My first month was Dec 13 (store opened 30th Nov) and I finished on $1117 so that's pretty good. Most mornings I was waking up to a barrage of emails "clip order" lol...
message me if you wanna do the same, it's clearly easy cash and most of the girls on there don't have a clue how to set it up correctly.

Hi I am pretty new here and some advices for clips4sale would really help me thanks

Support is important to me when I need help. Support is pretty awesome on ELM so I have no complaints there. They don't have crazy strict rules that I'm aware of. Understanding and setting up certain features and options are confusing (for me anyway). IMO things could be more simplified (for folks like me). Traffic is OK. As others have stated the guys there are CHEAP. They expect $500 worth of work for $10. I was told by a friend that if you offer tons of free content and dirt cheap items you may be more popular (her words, not mine) . I use the site for literally EXTRA lunch money. Double cheeseburger at McDonald's and a small fry kinda thing. I have no complaints and appreciate its existence. I have made only 2 sales in the 2 months I have been there whereas I've made Way more than that on C4S in under a few days compared to a few months. This is my personal experience so of course opinions and reviews will vary.

If you keep up with your store and actually add content regularly you will make a sale on a daily basis Or every other day at the least. I have my minimum payment payout set at $100 and being that I'm new I'm not quite there yet so can't speak on the payment just yet. I also haven't needed support yet. Setting up your store as far as the paperwork/forms can be a bit challenging. I had the UPS store submit everything for me out of pure laziness and that cost me $30. You can fax for free from home if you have a fax machine/scanner. If you're anything like me you'll appreciate the easy to understand layout of the site and studio dashboard. Comparing this to a few other clip sites I can honestly say this is hands down #1.
I came across YouKandy.com back in August when I was a brand new cam model. I joined and started uploading content. It wasn�t long before I made my first sale.
I forgot about YouKandy for a while, then I logged in one day and saw that I had won 100 tokens in a contest - at 100% commission. This was definitely an incentive for me to stay active in the YouKandy community. I uploaded more content and started promoting referral links on my twitter.
I really love their contests. The competition keeps me motivated to keep logging in and uploading content. I have gained a lot of followers on this site, some of which have followed me to my live webcam at FirePlay.cammodels.com. And some of my regulars have joined the site via my referral link.
The layout of the site is professional and user-friendly. I like their messaging system so I can interact with my fans on the site.
The only drawback is that when a customer makes a purchase, you don�t receive the tokens right away. The tokens you earned are put on hold for a certain number of days. These tokens appear in your account under �Uncleared Balance� until they have cleared, then they are added to your Available Balance, which can be cashed out when you reach the minimum payout balance of $100.
Even so, this is a great way to build a residual income and gain more followers. I noticed that once I activated the Auto-Tweet feature (which automatically tweets updates to your twitter feed whenever you post new content), I started gaining a lot more followers on my twitter account.
Youkandy provides private messaging to your followers, and allows you to promote your camsite and wishlist on your profile. I have gained more paying fans since being on this site.

Traffic: They have all right traffic; however, I strongly recommend taking early last years content and do dirt cheap promo's to get yourself noticed by members.
Payment: Payout is weekly on this site. They offer check, wire, and payoneer if I'm not mistaken. I choose to receive a check. Lets say that my pay gets 'locked in' (1 week holding) on Jan 21, 2015, and go out Jan 28 2015 - I would receive it no later than Feb 2 or 3 2015.
Support: Great support. I've always had prompt help from their customer support. They have provided me a lot of help.
Software: Great & simple web interface to use for new models, more experienced models would like the simplicity of it. However, you upload your content through the website - not bulk FTP uploading.
I would honestly recommend this site for new models. The models on this site sell pretty cheap and it makes it hard to compete with their prices. Especially when you price your material higher due to whatever reasons you have.
I will be 100% honest with you. I've worked on this site twice now. Once, two years ago when I was more heavy-set (size 14-16), I made NOTHING at all. This time around I've been on the site for 4 months now. And my first two months I just barely made payout 3 times, the third month I made almost $300, and just this past month I've made almost close to $500.
I also cheapen my old content for promotional purposes as well and offer some girl on girl custom content. However, I get very few requests for this as we charge higher than average for our content. (3 requests total in the last 2 months.)
They have a few GREAT features.. such as the Requests area - customers can place a request on the board where the models can look over the request and reply from there if it is something they offer or do.
The only huge downfall I see on this site is that their customers like to pay dirt cheap prices for great quality content. I personally like to think my prices are already very reasonable. And when you aren't willing to lower your prices just to make a video, you normally end up losing the sale and customer - all in one moment. Sometimes the customer will keep coming back to see if your prices are lower though.
I hope all my information is helpful in deciding if this site is right for you!

I was on this website for a full year and did not enjoy it. I put up a profile because I heard it was all the rage if you wanted to sell content. I heard it was similar to MGF but you had more freedom in messaging.
In that year, I made $0. I think I had $1 tip or credit but I don't think it was enough to cash out. However, I am a very particular, higher-priced model. From my experiences here, the traffic is also very particular but very cheap. So, I never found a single client that I meshed well with. I got all kinds of bizarre requests that I simply wasn't up for doing and certainly not for the price they were offering. Granted, I didn't put a lot of effort into messaging a bunch of people but... yeah. This whole place left a bad taste in my mouth, especially seeing what other girls were charging for their content.
I much preferred MGF because at least I was compensated for every message I sent.
The bottom line is that this site would be a good fit for girls with a lot of content ready to upload that they sell for a super low price. It would also be a good fit for girls who are available for custom videos and are very open with the customs they do and charge a very low rate.
All in all, I hated this place but it may work for some. Maybe.

I really don't have much to complain about this site. Easy to use software, great for new girls just starting out, and experienced girls in need of a platform to offer all of their content in one place. That too, there's so much freedom to sell whatever content you have to offer. So long as you always put out content, you'll always get a spot on the front page, and the custom requests section is an awesome way for the clients and girls to interact with each other.
As most people have said though, girls on this site sell themselves for next to nothing, making the guys EXTREMELY cheap. I've stopped making custom videos because guys were trying to send me 10-15 credit escrows and expecting these high quality, long and specific videos. There's a lot of pressure to lower your own prices just to compete.
I've never had a problem with payment. So long as you reach the payout every wednesday, you should get your money within a few days (my experience using their direct deposit)

easy to hndle and upload
but once in a month a payment... i pay 50 usd to get my payment wired to a NL bankacount, thats kinda old fashion
also another thing is that they dont cover cashbacks... i had it a few times and not 5 usd no for amounts around 50 usd
when you get an order with 10 or more clips in it 50 % chance you get a big CB

can you sell other things, like panties, socks, etc.?
Great site!! Your traffic is up to you really but still, they give you all the ingredients to throw together a great site. Offer fun ways for you to highlight whatever you might want. They sometimes offer litetle contests for the girls and they are very quick to respond to any questions, and even send you little reminders of things to do to help you along the way and gain traffic. Overall they are just awesome sauce. Love you guys!!

Fantastic experience so far! Payment via check to me in USA actually arrived 2 days before the 7th of November for October earnings.
They seems to be in the process of possibly adding a Live Cam option to the back end. But when I inquired with them they had no idea when it will be
released.
The uploading can sometimes mess up the file integrity for clips. However they are supportive and advise if there are any issues.
7 day a week phone support and quick email responses when needed.
