IWantClips is a clip, custom video and fetish marketplace where sellers are called Artists. This review covers what it pays, how the payout schedule works, how strict the approval is, how it stacks up against ManyVids and Clips4Sale, and the one thing IWantClips will not tell you upfront.
Last updated July 2026
IWantClips, ManyVids or Clips4Sale, a clip store never promotes you and never negotiates a custom order for you. We do both. Free, confidential application, a reply within 24 hours, and your login and payouts stay yours.
IWantClips is a legitimate clip, custom video and fetish marketplace, part of the iWantEmpire network, where sellers (the platform calls them Artists) list pre-made clips, take custom orders, and collect tips and tributes. Sellers commonly report keeping around 60% on pre-made clips, with a better effective rate when a lot of the mix is tips, tributes and higher-margin services. Payouts have a $50 minimum ($100 for international wire transfers), cost nothing to receive, and run bi-monthly or monthly, with a weekly option reported in early 2026.
Here is the part most reviews skip: IWantClips does not publish a single complete public rate card. Every percentage on this page is labelled commonly reported on purpose, and you should confirm your exact split in your own dashboard and Artist Agreement before planning income around it. For the wider field, start with our guide to selling videos online.
Three clip marketplaces, three different deals. Two publish their rate card in full. IWantClips does not.
| Platform | Seller share on clips | Tips and customs | Payout speed | Minimum payout | Rate card published | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IWantClips | Around 60%, commonly reported by sellers (not published) | Commonly reported as better than the clip rate, confirm in your dashboard | Bi-monthly or monthly, weekly option reported in early 2026 | $50 ($100 international wire) | No | Custom orders and fetish buyers |
| ManyVids | 60%, published | 80% on customs, tips and fan club, published | Weekly, every Wednesday | $50 | Yes | Volume, discovery and fast pay |
| Clips4Sale | 60%, published | 80% on tips, published | Monthly, on the 7th | Set by the platform, confirm in your account | Yes | Deep fetish catalogue and search traffic |
On the clip share itself, all three land in roughly the same place, so nobody is being robbed here. The difference is what you can verify and how fast the money moves. Full breakdowns sit in the ManyVids review and the Clips4Sale review.
We will not invent an average seller income. What we can do is lay out each income line and be blunt about which numbers are actually published.
Sellers commonly report keeping around 60% on pre-made clips, which lines up with what ManyVids and Clips4Sale publish for the same content type. The effective rate improves across the rest of the mix: tips, tributes and higher-margin services are commonly reported to return more than the clip rate. That is why the sellers who do well here are rarely running a pure pre-made clip business.
| Income line | How it is charged | What reaches you |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-made clips | You price the clip, the buyer pays once | Around 60%, commonly reported |
| Custom videos | The buyer requests it, you quote the price | Commonly reported, confirm the split in your dashboard and Artist Agreement |
| Tips and tributes | Sent by the buyer, no content attached | Commonly reported, confirm the split in your dashboard and Artist Agreement |
| Phone and text services | Priced per session or interaction | Commonly reported, confirm the split in your dashboard and Artist Agreement |
| Photo sets and other items | Priced per item by you | Commonly reported, confirm the split in your dashboard and Artist Agreement |
The last column repeats itself for a reason. A platform that does not publish a complete rate card is one you verify inside your own account before you rely on any figure. That is not a claim IWantClips is hiding something dishonest: it is a real marketplace, it pays, and the clip share people report is in line with its rivals. It simply means the number you plan a month around has to come from your dashboard, not from a review page, including this one.
One practical consequence: if you price everything assuming a flat 60% return, you will misread your own business. Customs, tips and tributes are where the money concentrates, and where the fetish audience here spends most willingly. Price the customs properly and the platform cut stops being the number that decides your month.
The schedule is published, unlike the rate card. Here is what it means in practice.
You need $50 in your balance to be paid, or $100 if you take payment by international wire transfer. There is no fee to receive a bi-monthly or monthly payout.
Two earning periods: the 12th to the 26th, and the 27th to the 11th. Each is sent for processing on the 12th and the 27th, so what you earn on the 13th waits for the next cycle.
The earning period runs the 1st to the last day of the month, sent for processing on the 5th of the following month. Simpler to reconcile, slower to land.
A weekly payout option has been reported. If cash flow matters, check whether it is available on your account rather than assuming bi-monthly is your only choice.
No taxes are withheld. In the US that means your own 1099 and your own self-employment tax, so set money aside from every cycle rather than at the end of the year.
ManyVids pays every Wednesday. Clips4Sale pays monthly on the 7th. Bi-monthly sits between them, which is fine if your costs are steady and painful if they are not.
Where it beats the rival clip stores, and where it plainly loses to them.
IWantClips earns its place on custom and fetish demand, not on its fee structure. If your buyers commission work at real prices, the trade is worth it. If you sell cheap pre-made clips in volume and nothing else, a faster-paying store with a published rate card is the safer home.
Direct answers first. No hedging, no invented numbers.
Yes. IWantClips is a real, established clip and custom video marketplace, part of the iWantEmpire network, and it pays sellers on a published schedule. The honest caveat is that it does not publish one complete public rate card for every content type, so confirm your exact split in your dashboard and Artist Agreement before planning a budget.
Sellers commonly report keeping around 60% on pre-made clips, with a better effective rate when a lot of the mix is tips, tributes and higher-margin services. That figure is commonly reported, not published as a complete rate card, so treat your own dashboard and Artist Agreement as the only numbers that count.
Payouts have a $50 minimum ($100 for international wire transfers) and cost nothing to receive. Bi-monthly covers earning periods from the 12th to the 26th and the 27th to the 11th, sent for processing on the 12th and 27th. Monthly runs the calendar month, processed on the 5th. A weekly option was reported in early 2026.
There is no honest average, and anyone quoting one is guessing. Your income depends on how many clips you have listed, how much of your mix is customs and tips rather than cheap pre-made clips, and how much traffic you send to your own storefront. The platform does not do that last part for you.
Yes. There is no fee to sign up as a seller and no fee to receive your bi-monthly or monthly payout. The platform takes its share out of each sale instead. You do have to pass verification and approval, and curation can be strict, so treat the application as something worth doing properly.
Clips4Sale publishes its rate card openly (60% on clips, 80% on tips) and pays monthly on the 7th. IWantClips publishes no complete rate card and pays bi-monthly or monthly. Clips4Sale leans on a deep fetish catalogue and search traffic. IWantClips leans on custom video demand and a premium, curated storefront.
One more question, because sellers ask it constantly: does the store you choose matter as much as people think? Not really. Uploading is the easy part. Getting found, priced correctly and answering a custom enquiry before the buyer loses interest is what separates a store earning $200 a month from one earning $8,000.

You trade a published rate card and a fast payout cycle for a buyer base that commissions work.
Custom orders are the strongest suit here. Buyers arrive expecting to commission something specific and pay for it, which is a very different mindset from browsing a discount clip bin.
Fetish demand runs deep. If your content sits in a specific niche rather than general adult, you are far more likely to find buyers who already know what they want.
The curated look is the point. It supports higher prices per clip and keeps your store from being judged against a wall of cheap uploads.
No complete public rate card means you cannot check every number before you commit. ManyVids and Clips4Sale both publish theirs.
Bi-monthly processing, or monthly on the 5th, is slower than ManyVids paying every Wednesday. Check whether the reported weekly option is open to you.
Approval can be strict. A thin application, weak samples or a low-effort profile may not get through, so treat it as work rather than a formality.
A few points of platform cut only matter once people are buying. Getting them there is the job we do.
A storefront is not a marketing plan. We promote where paying fans gather, on Reddit, X, TikTok and Instagram, the way each platform allows, and send that traffic to your store.
The money on a clip site concentrates in custom orders. Our chatters answer every enquiry around the clock, scope the request, quote it and close it, so you shoot and get paid.
We set your clip, custom and tip pricing at the points that work in your niche, so casual buyers have a cheap way in and serious ones have room to spend far more.
