Picking Your Niche:
One of the main questions asked is about which niche to pick for running a clip store.

On my examples, and screen shots, I used foot fetish and tickling content. That does not mean you can't try other niches out there, including those you have more of a personal interest in and understand. However, I can't speak to ALL niches and their performance on a clip store.

If you want a good guide for what is selling. I would look at the main page of Clips4Sale, and see what niches and stores have a lot of sales. Then look at how they are doing their clips, descriptions, etc..

Warnings:
I have actually tried a few secondary niches myself. Results may vary depending on if the model(s) are actually answering emails, and doing any interaction with your patrons.

I mention this, because a lot of times I get an email about some guy who has local girls wanting to do solo, or wanting to do this or that for extra money and they think that they can do it and make a mint. You are not, unless she is directly interacting with the potential buyers.

I have had little real success with solo girls. That includes EX-GF content, even solo other things of fetish content. A solo girl, especially one who is not talkative and chatty through the scene is not really going to sell a lot IMHO.

Also, you need to keep in mind the length. Solo girl clips tend to be a lot shorter. So you could sell 200 of them, and not make a lot of money. It's hard to get these girls to do things on camera for 5-10 minutes.

I personally feel that grouped scenes work best. The scenes are longer, you can cut into pieces for additional updates, there is more action for you to write out tasty descriptions with keywords, and so on. I know it sometimes sucks writing out those descriptions, but they make a huge difference I have found.

So I would stay away from the EX-GF type of material, at least for clip stores, and almost all solo girl stuff unless they plan to interact (i.e. email, cams, etc.) with those patrons.

Lastly, I would say that starting out you are better to pick a niche that SELLING instead of your own preference. This allows you to recoup your investment on content purchases, and learn the ropes. At least you know the niche, and content is in demand. Once you have learned a trick or two, then add in some of your own flavor and see if you can sell it.

Some markets are going to be overly saturated. They could be yours if you are into mainstream, vanilla, run of the mills stuff. So it's better to be a bit more nichey, or sub niche to start while learning.
