I'm still fairly new to this pursuit of video publication on these sites. I started uploading on Watchfighters September of last year. I've been on Meetfighters for years.
A friend and I spent 6 weekends shooting matches and I spent hours editing all of that material and we want a large number of people in this community on MF seeing them. I also made it through a maze of issues getting paid by Paxum and other technical issues with uploads (not criticizing WF, just part of the learning curve). Not to mention going through transitioning from Microsoft Clipchamp (worthless) to Davinci Resolve (hours of re-learning). I've posted 6 paid vids on WF so far and while initial profit was good, more recently views have gone way down. I'm trying to stick with these platforms before giving up and going to others. I would appreciate helpful responses from other content creators who have experience with this. Please no trolling from others who are NOT content creators. I would post something like this on those sites but don't see any forums on there for that. I have like 7 more videos waiting to publish until I figure this out.
I'd like to hear from other content creators on both platforms with focus on the following specific technical questions in your responses:
- How do you get individual videos to be featured in categories and yes I already put tags and no the vids didn't show up there.
Example: I have a foot fetish themed video and trying to get it featured here: https://www.watchfighters.com/categories/Foot_fetish-6300
- How do you get all your videos featured on the "Explore" page and keep them there?
- I have figured out that views on paid content video pages only "count" if someone purchases, which is unfortunate because it would be nice to have marketing info on how many people view but don't purchase a video. For instance when I look at several pages of recently posted videos, the free preview pages all have significant views and the for pay video pages have 0 video views. If someone has information to the contrary on this I'm open to hearing / discussing it.
- Crossposting traffic: Have you all found varying levels of success posting links on and directing traffic from Meetfighters vs. Meetkink? On Meetfighters have you had better luck with embedded videos from blog posts versus forum posts?
- Settings on each video: I've tried to thoroughly edit all uploaded videos with all relevant tags and photo previews. I have started doing trailer videos, but still need to go back and do more of them on existing past videos. Are there other things you have found valuable to maximize views on each video?
Again I appreciate any insights from the experiences of other content creators. Thanks again.
