My first blog post with tips for growth on ManyVids is one of my most popular blog posts. The thing is… that piece just scratched the surface of what will help you grow on the site. I felt like we really needed a follow up post to start building on that foundation, and give you a few more things to think about as you go about conquering the world that is ManyVids.
Let’s do it, shall we?
Why Have Descriptions?
I am a writer by trade, having been in academia for 10+ years and working as a researcher in my desk gig. I have written hundreds of thousands of words over that time, with one of my longest pieces being a 30,000 word thesis.
But when it comes to writing descriptions for my videos and store items, I struggle to get a couple of sentences down. And it is a field you cannot leave empty, so like many of us, when I started, it would be like getting blood from a stone.
Here is one of my earliest clip descriptions:
Miss Sequence has summoned you again… and is going to put your sweet, tight mouth to some good use. It could be your ultimate fantasy… or your worst nightmare.
The Cocksucker by Rem Sequence
Hooly dooly, as we say in Australia. 2018 Rem Sequence thought this was great. However, 2022 Rem Sequence knows a bit different after 4 years reading and writing descriptions on clips and store items.
What is the purpose of a description? It has to do a few things: 1) Give the buyer incentive to buy, 2) Give an accurate description and 3) Give fuel to the clipsite’s search engine and Google itself.
All of these things are related so, let’s break it down.
Describe, Entice, Fuel That Search Engine
Giving an accurate description of the product helps the buyer know if the clip is for them. For example someone who likes dominant women in knee high socks but not barefoot would like to know what you are wearing on your feet and legs in the clip before buying it. At the same time, the description has to entice the buyer to purchase the item. Simply stating what happens in the clip is not going to be as appealing as adding in some spicy bits. I like to add questions into my descriptions as it feels more like I am talking to directly to the buyer. Personalisation is everything!
More about personalisation another time, because that topic is worthy of a whole book!
Your accurate and enticing description then gives the site’s search engine fuel, directing buyers to YOU. A search for “knee high socks” may pick up all your clips where you are wearing knee high socks – if it is in the description!
(I don’t know why I am obsessed with footwear right now, but here we are. Stay with me!)
Furthermore, do not doubt the power and reach of the words you put on the internet. Not only the words themselves, but the AMOUNT of words. This is related to Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and something many people much more experienced than me can provide you more information about, including Amberly Rothfield and
Ok. So my early clip description failed on all 3 fronts. It gives a little info about what the clip is going to be about, but enough to pay for it? Probably not. I mean, where is it set? What is Rem Sequence wearing? Who is this Rem Sequence person? The script is non-existent. It is a little enticing, so it has that nice spice, but the fact it doesn’t really tell me about the clip outweighs any flirty cheekiness there is hiding there. And finally… it is only 29 words long. Not even 50 words. What kind of fuel is this giving the search engines being used to find us?
Fuck. All.
Improving Your Descriptions
Alright, let’s fast forward to 2022 and look at one of my most recent descriptions. I am not saying this is absolutely my best work, but it can help me show you how I changed my clip descriptions.
It is your first day at your dream job; you have worked for years to get considered for a place at this company and you are finally here! The CEO, the formidable Rem Sequence, comes in to welcome you to the company and explain to you what your duties will be. After signing a million documents, you are now told that your dream job, in one of the top businesses in the world, is actually a scam. You now owe Rem Sequence a ridiculous amount of money for the privilege of working for her, in her sordid den of sadistic sex. As Rem Sequence explains, you will be sucking cock and getting your ass fucked for at least 15 hours a day working off your debt. And if you don’t work hard enough for your boss, you will become her personal toy. And she has very specific tastes. Congratulations, you are now a member of the Rem Sequence team.
Welcome To Your Dream Job by Rem Sequence
Alright, so probably the first thing you can see that has changed is the word count. This one is almost 150 words which is the sweet spot you are aiming for, but at least 100 words is a must.
Reading through the description, you can now get a feel for what is going to happen in the clip. You now know that it is a boss/employee fantasy with a debt contract and verbal humiliation (the line “as Rem Sequence explains” is where the reader will know that).
This is for a very specific type of fetish, and for fetish clips, you need to be using the language that your customers use to describe what they are looking for. Custom clip requests are the best thing for this, and I encourage my custom clip buyers to put as much info in their requests as they can. Send me an essay or a short story, I don’t care, because I will be able to look through them and pick out the words and themes that my customers use so I can include them in the descriptions. In the example I have given, “personal toy”, “dream job” and “privilege” are all words used in this custom request, and give a very particular feel to the clip.
The improvements that could be made to this particular description? I haven’t said what I am wearing in the clip which could sway a buyer or add more fuel to our search engine. “Pencil skirt” and “corporate wear” are valid tags and categories on sites so they are well worth including!
It may seem daunting and hard, and in the beginning it is! But once you start practicing writing descriptions with these guidelines, it will become easier and easier. So get out there and describe, entice and fuel that search engine!
