Tips and Tricks for Success on YourVids

1. Make YourVids Your "New Release" Platform: YourVids is the only platform where you keep 100% of your earnings. Instead of uploading your entire back catalog right away, consider making YourVids the first place fans can purchase your newest content.
   Upload your newest clips to YourVids first. Let your biggest fans purchase them while you receive 100% of the sale. Once sales naturally slow down, publish those same videos to your other clip stores. This allows you to maximize earnings from your most loyal fans before listing the content elsewhere.
2. Give Fans a Reason to Visit YourVids: If your YourVids store has exactly the same content as every other platform, fans have very little reason to create another account.
   Instead of using YourVids as just another video catalog, you can try using YourVids for: your newest releases, early access content, exclusive bundles, limited-time specials, behind-the-scenes videos, and platform exclusive customs or extras. Offering unique value encourages fans to make YourVids a part of their regular buying routine. 
3. Bring Existing Fans Along for the Ride: As a newer platform, one of the fastest ways to grow your sales is by introducing YourVids to the fans you already have (and it makes sense to do this, since the payout percentage here is much higher than comparable alternatives.) You can add your YourVids link to your website and social media profiles to maximize exposure to fans and if you use your referral link there's the added benefit of potentially earning more for fans who sign up for the VIP program on YourVids. 
4. Take Advantage of 100% Payouts: Think about where your most valuable customers buy... your biggest supporters are usually purchasing your newest content regardless of where you're listing it because they support YOU. By encouraging them to purchase through YourVids, you keep every dollar from the sale instead of giving away a large percentage to platform fees. 
5. Ask for Promotion, Don't Be Shy: One of the biggest advantages of YourVids is that the marketing team is actively working with creators to help bring exposure to their content and offerings.
   Don't hesitate to reach out to Laura if you'd like to be considered for things like Creator of the Week, featured on the homepage, get promoted on the YourVids social media accounts, be included in marketing campaigns, and participate in giveaways and collaborations.
   We are also always looking for creators to interview for the blog (which you're reading now, hey!) so if you have an interesting story you'd like to tell or an interesting topic to discuss you can always reach out to Aerie who manages the blog. 
6. Keep Auto-Posting Connected: Creators who connect their social accounts and consistently promote new uploads often see significantly more views on their profiles and content. Every new release gives you the opportunity to share on X, post to Bluesky, share on Reddit, mention in fan communities, and ultimately drive traffic to your YourVids profile. External traffic makes a huge difference for profiting from new releases! 
7. Focus on Quality over Quantity: Uploading hundreds or even thousands of videos isn't always the fastest path to making sales. Focusing on strong thumbnails, clear titles, detailed descriptions, relevant tags, and consistent uploads can perform better than a massive all-at-once library upload. You can also utilize the queuing feature to stagger out releases of your old content so that fans that haven't seen it before on other websites will be freshly exposed to it on YourVids. 
8. Stay Active: The more active your store feels, the more reasons fans have to keep coming back. By uploading consistently, offering customs, adding new bundles, refreshing pricing during sales, keeping your profile updated, and engaging in spaces like the Community and on the blog you'll be opening yourself up to more opportunities to connect with fans. 
9. Be Patient, The Platform is Growing: YourVids is growing rapidly but it's still building it's audience which means traffic will continue to increase over time, more fans are discovering the platform every week, and many buyers are creating accounts specifically because they want to see creators get the highest payout possible. Building here early can put you in a strong position as the site continues to grow. 
10. Do Your Research: Poking around the site to see what performs well can give you a great idea of what to film next and what the fans on YourVids are looking for! Creating content that is in high demand will put you across more eyes on the site and potentially result in more sales!
