ExtraLunchMoney Reviews and Information

I love ELM! It is the source of most of my passive sales and all of my custom requests due to the high amount of traffic and rapidly growing client base. I read somewhere that this is one of the top 100,000 sites in the world, so it's no wonder. I had to increase my minimum payout to over 400 credits because I was reaching it every week and prefer being paid every two weeks (personal preference). I love the fact that you can be featured on the front page just by uploading content, or featured on the "Top Escrow Sellers" page by delivering escrows on time and it sorts you by monthly total. In a good day I'll get 4 custom content requests, but a normal/average day is one request. Additionally, there's a huge demand for specific fetishes, and most of these fetishes (except scat vids and incest roleplay) are allowed. Many guys try to push for extra cheap videos or pictures, but I always stick to my prices listed on my profile. Most agree to it or are at least willing to negotiate price.

The major con is that the site only allows you to send or upload videos of up to 500 mb, which is such a small file for the 10 minute HD videos I make. Forget about sending it without breaking it up into pieces first. Another con is that they charge $5 for the direct deposit fee, but you can elect a check or use Paxum. You can hook up your Tumblr and Twitter for auto promotions when you upload content. You can request an interview to be featured in the ELM blog for additional exposure http://extralunchmoney.com/blog/meet-full-time-artist-and-part-time-traveler-roxanna/

Major pro is definitely the traffic, and the fact you can feature yourself on the front page during peak hours by simply uploading a video. You can also utilize the "Discussions" page and post topic starters for clients to at least see your name on the page. Another pro is you can also sell physical goods, such as panties or erotic art. I haven't sold any erotic art yet, but it took over a year to start making panty sales so I'm still hopeful. Yet another pro is that you can get paid to text, and clients never see your number! Set your price per text and watch the texts add up! Most guys who end up texting me just want to talk about weird fetishes; I've never been asked to sext or send nudes via text. Additionally, Support has always gotten back to me within a couple of hours, but so far they have not fixed the glitch I was having with a broken link to view my transaction history.

For new sellers there is a 60% split. For Seller Plus sellers there is a 65% split. Reach Seller Plus status by getting only 31 feedback points (in other words it doesn't take long at all).

I highly recommend ELM.

Overall I really love the site.

The traffic is great (I don't share content too regularly, but I still get messages, sales and custom requests almost every day).

Payment is always on time, though I don't really love the "Lock in date" method and having to wait a whole week before I get my payment, and it's a bummer they don't take Payoneer anymore so it complicates things for me a bit.

It's pretty easy to use, I love the "Requests" section where you get to sign up to different offers for custom videos, photos, kik conversations, etc.

The only real downside I see is that most people there are cheap. Like, REALLY cheap. I've seen guys asking for a 15 minute pee-drinking video for 10 dollars... so I can't charge what I usually charge on other sites, because I wouldn't sell anything otherwise. But it really does help, I get a regular extra money every week, and most videos I can re-sell on other sites.

All in all, I love it here.

Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys being social and caters to a lot of fetishes.

I would happily recommend this site to anyone selling content. It's ease of use, and navigation is truly a major plus. I also like that members can request different jobs, and the ease it is to communicate with them about what they want. 2 thumbs up!

This site, overall- could use some work. I dislike how you have to split the larger video files to send them- or spend your own hard-earned cash to arrange other methods of delivering the product. Also, the customers there can be quite needy- or they just don't pay attention when you tell them to rejoin files. I've had great traffic, though. I've already done several "jobs" on there, and netted myself a fairly decent earning- however (and caution with this) I'm not really digging the payoneer thing. Like... I signed up for payoneer through the ELM site- but I can't remember literally ANY of my login info, nor where I wrote it down (which is truly a self-error) which means, though I've made the money- I can't touch it til I figure it out. Hopefully support for either site will be able to help out, but its a must-try for those interested in making/selling content!

Love this site. It's my top selling video site so far and it's really easy to use. I had an issue recently with a person who wanted me to perform some seriously disturbing and illegal acts. He followed me around the net on twitter, at Cams.com, on all of my video sites and when I contacted ELM about the person and informed them of the multiple user names that this person was using they banned them immediately every time the creep showed up with a new name. I think it's what finally got them to stop bothering me.
I've always been paid on time and the low credit requirements of 40 credits for a payout is nice. I get a lot of messages from potential customers and all the custom videos I've done have come exclusively through ELM.

I have had a ManyVids for almost 6 months with lots of videos on there but less than 4 sales? I got on ELM and immediately I uploaded my recent 5 or 6 vids, got 2 sales in 24 hours. Much better traffic, it isn't solely based on your promoting yourself however you see fit. And you can not only connect your twitter, but also a Tumblr account if you have one, making even more promotions easier. I like the offerings of videos, custom vids, products, and even texts. Lots more to offer so you can make more money! So far so good.

I have been on ELM for over a year and it has paid off. It was my first clip site. Going back I would have joined C4S or KB first instead because there are lots of things about ELM that make it waste a lot more time than other clip sites each time you upload. Uploading to ELM is a pain for me because the files have to be under 500 mb so I often have to make a special tiny file just for ELM and you can not upload from a Mac which is what I use for iMovie. So I have to transfer the file to another computer first. And I have to make special screenshots for ELM because they don't accept the big gifs used on most clip sites. I know a lot of girls are lazy about it and take a screenshot of the clip while the play button is right there on the screen. I don't even bother making a tiny gif for whatever their tiny requirements are. Oh yeah and they have a tiny character limit for your descriptions so I have to make things shorthand in the description or delete large parts of the description (I don't always have time to write out an entirely new abridged description just for you ELM!) and I think these incomplete video descriptions give customers a bad impression of the model! And you can not use the word "humiliation" lolol.. They have a very short and limited list of categories on there. You can only choose specified amounts to sell your products at-- they have a pulldown menu that skips some numbers for some reason. I've used their escrow system for customs before but I get more custom requests by email from C4S actually. Guys on ELM are always trying to request vile things for cheap to which I say no or it's not worth my time! Do they perceive us as desperate or something? Well the site is called "Extra Lunch Money..."

Ok now there are things I like about the site. I like the diversity of products and services you can sell-- my photosets do great on there and you can sell panties, skypes and kiks and such. It's cool that not only can a guy approach a model with a request, but he can post the custom request and then models can sign on saying would like to fulfill it and he can then check them out and work out a deal with one of them.

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!
