This site has been around for a long time, the traffic bloomed last year (2013-2014ish) but still is not as good as other sites for girls who don't have a gigantic fanbase. The support used to be ~okay~ way back, unless it came to payments. The software is okay I guess, seen worse, seen better, easy to use though the site could be improved.
To go back to the payment issue, they have always paid me late, somehow always had an excuse for it. After submitting my banking infos again and again they still could not figure out how to send money to Canada it seems... I ended up accepting payments from them using a platform that is not SW friendly to not name it.

Oh yeah and once, I got paid like over a month late and had to contact them through twitter. Then I had to do that again, this time they did not even bother to answer my DM, which I only sent after multiple emails.
I've been a model on clipvia for over a year. They never really had any traffic, I had to direct all of my own there which was okay with me. Their support team was good in the beginning, if you emailed them they got back to you as soon as they could, listened to all of your concerns and were happy to help. Payout issues started happening, payments would be delayed by a few days, instead of being paid on the 4th it was more like the 9th-15th which wasn't a big deal because you could still expect your money around the same time every month.
The past 8 or so months though have been TERRIBLE, the owner(Jimmy) wasn't able to pay models on time so his company took out a LOAN to pay us. Payments started coming later and later, sometimes a month delay or more, some models weren't being paid unless they threw a giant fit on social media and started bringing negative attention towards them but atleast we were still getting paid.
The past 2 months though have been incredibly terrible, Clipvia has no been responding to any models help emails, to any girls on social media, answering their support line. They've basically gone quiet all while NOT paying their modes, they always have an excuse as to why they can't pay us but now there's not even an excuse it's just silence.
AVOID CLIPVIA, You will more than likely NEVER see any money you make there and if you do, it'll be months and months late. It is not worth the stress of not knowing where your money is.

Clipvia has been good for me until recently. The last 4 or 5 months have been nothing but a headache, begging for payments, wondering if I'll ever even be paid at all...Support no longer replies to my emails.
They do play favorites with payments, some girls get paid twice a month, some get paid on time, some get paid late, some don't get paid at all! I didn't receive my March payment until the first week of May, and that's only after I repeatedly emailed them asking for updates. It's May 20th, and I'm still waiting on my April payment (which I was told would be put on their "priority list" - whatever that means).
The site has a lot of good features and I make a good amount there, but all positives are completely cancelled out by the unreliable payments and horrific communication with studios (they put out important info via twitter, not email...wtf). What's the point in making $$$ if I'm not sure I'll ever get it?
Supposedly they are making some changes, and will have investors backing them soon, along with a (convenient) name change. Hopefully this fixes some issues for them, as based on a quick google search, they've been having payment issues since 2013.
Whaaaaaaaaaaat?! Not acceptable. thank you for letting us know. This stuff disgusts me in the worst way.
I had it on my list of sites to sign up to but forget it.
For Me, when sites start messing up I start preparing ready to move on. I start removing content etc. I dont want to happen to me what happened to all those girls on streammate. Sometimes some site sell content even after you go. Or they make other sites and show it for free whilst your trying to sell it. So once they do something desperatly shady I start preparing to move on.
That favorites crap goes on on so many sites. Then they get mad when they find out they might not be your favorite and start promoting another site. Ill do a post on it later. Modelcentro is definatly one that plays favorites i think, as I only see them tweeting certain ladies. Many Domme sites operate in that fashion as well.
Niteflirt doesnt play favorites. Try them.
There is a new site that is out Bunny. Ill send you the link
Not much traffic, when you do reach payout the majority of the time its late.

Looking at my stars, the site seems pretty crummy, I know.
If you do not already have a well-developed fanbase, I DO NOT think ClipVia will be right for you. It's not a place where you can just start out selling clips and be extremely successful. The models that do the best on there are ones that have already been doing this for a long time- the highest-ranking girl on there has something like 80k followers on tumblr, and has been in the industry for 3 years.
The minimum payout on CV is set to $150, and you cannot change it. For some girls, they go a few months without getting paid. Some can make it every month- if you don't have a place where you're advertising your videos (like tumblr) and having your advertisement posts circulate a lot, it's going to be harder to make money on CV.
Support is not amazing on CV, or at least wasn't in the beginning. They've adjusted a bit, and now get back to you within a day or two, whereas before it would sometimes take WEEKS for them to respond.
Payout has also improved a lot since the last review was placed. For a long time, the site team did not have a clue what they were doing. They said "You will get paid on the 4th of (the closest month)" when you reached payout, and yet, there were months when people didn't get paid until a week or two weeks after that. Obviously, that led to a lot of frustration. They're now working at revamping the site, and payouts since then have never come to me later than the 9th of the month, depending on weekends or Holidays.
I do recommend this site, but not for everyone. If you're someone that already has a good chunk of customers, ClipVia could be a good site for you. They have a nice payout (they say 70%, but you get something more like 66% if I'm not mistaken), and moderately okay traffic now that big-name models have brought the site attention.
But it's not a place for new girls to start out.

Some girls do very well here, because they are known and have spent a lot of time on the site. Otherwise it doesn't have much traffic at all. It is essentially a clip site but you can also take tribute payments (you keep 80% of that) and can give out information about twitter, your website etc.
Had some issues paying me (first and last time, as I wasn't getting video sales and no longer needed their tribute function), seems they don't have any other non US members (?!). I needed to provide my payment information via email and then there were problems with it, but I did then get the money via alternative means. The guy I dealt with was very nice, friendly and helpful.
