Why haven’t I sold anything yet?
We recently had a new seller join ELM who emailed us asking why after joining she wasn’t getting any sales. Specifically this is what she asked us:
Why haven’t i sold anything yet? Does your website get many views?
It’s a legitimate question and concern. We emailed her back some tips and ideas to help so we wanted to share them here with everyone.
Probably the most important tip we could get for increasing your chances for getting sales is to make sure you have your profile thoroughly filled out. It’s best to think of your profile as your own storefront as it highlights who you are and the types of content you make and sell. The more eye catching and engaging your profile the better chance that a potential buyer will stop buy and want to purchase your content.
Here are some other quick tips:
- Add several profile photos – photos give buyers a better idea of who they are buying from
- Completely fill out your profile – we recently redesigned the profile page to so Sellers could show off themselves better than before. You can add more detailed descriptions about yourself, add links, add videos, etc… (learn more about the redesigned profile)
- Use promo codes – promo codes allow you to set new prices (up to even free) for download now products. Some of our successful sellers use codes to give away teasers and free content so buyers can get a taste of their content. By posting promo codes you also show up in our “sales” section…which is another way a prospective buyer can discover your content (learn more about promo codes)
- Add more quality content – the more content you have the better chance you have of your content being discovered either through search engine searches, showing up in related jobs, etc…
- Use our new ELM badges/buttons – we have new ELM buttons / badges that you can place on other websites your operate. If you have people checking out your other sites you might as well put a link to your profile. (learn more about badges)
As for traffic details we are growing each month. You can see our traffic data from compete.com below:
At this time we won’t disclose our actual traffic details I will say that it is several times more than what compete has listed. To get an idea of how we compare to other similar websites check out our post on where you can sell adult video clips post. While I can’t say we are as large as Clips4Sale I can say we are comparable if not better than other sites…and we plan to keep growing it.
ELM Buttons to Promote Your Profile
We recently got a request from an ELM Seller for buttons or images to use to promote her ELM profile. Since we didn’t have anything we decided to throw something together for the Sellers who want something to put on their blog or website. Without further ado here are our ExtraLunchMoney buttons.
How to Use These Badges

Work for Porn: Earn Credits to Spend
Here at ELM we are always looking for new ways to improve the site. ELM is a marketplace where buyers need to purchase credits with a credit card in order to purchase content from sellers. This model is pretty standard, but we started wondering if we could offer an additional way to get credits? Today we’re extremely happy to announce that we found a way. Now by completing simple online tasks you can earn credits without even needing to open your wallet.

Some of you may have noticed that the ELM user profile page has a different look. We threw out the old design and now have a new design we think helps sellers present themselves the best in the quest to earn a little extra lunch money.
Here are the top 7 new features that sellers should know about and start using:
Say Hello to ELM Promo Codes
We’re happy to announce the launch of the ELM promo code system. The promo code system allows ELM sellers to sell their instant download products for discounted prices. Sellers choose the new discounted price they want to offer (including even offering the product for free) and add different conditions to the promo campaign like how many can be redeemed and expiration date.
This post is long overdue. Wanted to update everyone on what we’ve been up to in the past few weeks. Some of you might have noticed some small changes here and there, but we wanted to highlight some of the new stuff you might have missed.

Today we are happy to announce we a new feature where users can now view larger size images and can now vote on images as well.
We have a bone to pick with YouTube. However, before I trash YouTube’s community guidelines let me first preface this post with the fact that I’m a fan of YouTube. Just the fact that you can find videos on just about anything makes it awesome. What isn’t awesome is when you try to share your own videos and you get them taken down or worse yet you have your whole account suspended without warning or explanation. Both of these situations have happened to us.
