Just thinking out loud here. One thing I don't like about buying clips is I'm not sure what I'm going to see (there used to be no previews, unlike now) and I feel like it's a gamble at $12 or so for 10 minutes. Additionally, for that kind of money, the video quality, feet and performance all need to be better than the free stuff on sites like YouTube. I've bought clips only to regret it. An exception would be a site that I know is good (some free videos and photos) and has a following. I'd feel more comfortable buying from them.
I think I'd rather join a membership site where I can expect good material or else they would not be in business. One reason I don't have a membership, however, is I don't like the idea of paying every month for a year (about $240 let's say) when I could have joined for about $20 and still have access to the same clips. In other words, why not join for one month, see all the videos, then a year later buy another month and see the new videos?
Just wondering what you all thought/experiences.

Single clips are great if you have very special interests -- even if they cost more than a membership to a website.
Some people aren`t interested in the amount of pics & clips, but are only interested in their special niche content. It`s the same with me...IŽll rather see exactly what I love in a 5-min video, than get access to 5000 photos showing content that I`m not into.

i opt for ordering custom photo sets and video clips from specific girls over buying memberships to paid sites and/or purchasing sets and clips that have been produced for mass consumption. i have had memberships at three nice sites, and enjoyed each of them, but getting custom stuff has been a lot more fun for me.

I'm a broke-ass right now, so I usually just raid the preview sections of various sites (right now, those being NorCal Feet, Footsie Tootsies, Virgin Pink Soles, and CoedFeet; I'm considering making the leap to full membership for one or both of the first two once I get a steady income). But personally, I'd rather have pictures over videos/clips, so membership sites--as overprices as some of them are--would be the way to go for me.
Plus, I'm too impatient to sit through an entire video of a girl playing with her feet and showing them off, especially since I can't do anything with them.

I prefer pictures to video, for the most part, but I've bought quite a few video clips.
I definitely prefer being a member of a site rather than buying clips individually. What I usually do is what you suggested, ace; buy a month, get all the content that looks good (which for the sites I like is just about everything) and then wait a few months until it's worth my money or some crazy good deal is being offered.
I think the frequency of updates is a good indicator of when to sign up. For example, if a site updates once a week, I usually wait it out longer than if it updates twice or three times a week.

To each their own. Everyone has a preference on what they want to pay for, what they want to chance buying, or enjoy. There are all different things out there for a reason, so do what you like.

Ive noticed that the clips4sale can nickel and dime you to death....15 bucks more and you can have a membership and download/save multiple clips and pics.
But then again if you only have certain things that interest you then maybe joining a site isnt worth it....its really two ways of looking at this.

My fetish is so, well, specific (essentially what you see in my avatar is what I like), that joining a membership site would be a waste of money. I'm outnumbered by people who don't like that and/or like instead slobbering on feet, or footjobs, or any number of other stuff I can't stand and wouldn't pay for.
So all that's left for me is newmfx.com, and buying at clips4sale.com any individual clips that may fit what I like.
I've tried to go the custom route, but either the producer never gets back in touch with me (Jessie from The Fetish Vault) or they quote an outrageous price.

It really all depends on what you're in the mood for. Typically, I prefer memberships. However, if I'm looking for a quick fix (which usually requires something very specific) Most folks will agree with me on this--you need Clips4sale! That's why they're so popular.

I prefer a good membership site always. But as Weekend Warrior said, we need Clips4sale. This site has brought plenty of ladies out of the woodwork to produce quality content here and there. They have fanfare and cant produce at their own pace. Granted, some post just crappy cam show quality videos, but its on us if we can clearly see this is the type of vid they post.
For me, when you have a membership site, there is a certain expectation that you post something on a routine relative to the price charged. Combine hunter is on it. $19.99 a month should post new stuff every week at a minimum. The producer enters a "contract" with me to do stuff. Of course, I make exceptions for holiday periods as I wouldn't expect the producers' priorities to be on us.
I get highly pissed when I pay for a site and they disappear for a month or two and there is no rhythm to posting. Then yeah, if that site has a clipstore, I'll just buy a clip.
If anything, the clipstores allow us to research; at least allow you to sample before going to the membership page. Upload a clip every four months, no sweat, I am not financially invested in the clipstores in the long run and feel less ripped off.

recurring memberships also support website owners with steady income. For my part I keep the membership fee low so most of my members are recurring and stay on the site. On the other hand I can understand people paying for 1 month membership once in a while to get the videos especially if the 1 month membership fee isn't that more expensive than the recurring.

bremmer brings up a good point. When I did have memberships, there was no frequency to the posting. Worse, they would seem to post something at the end of the month, when my membership was about to run out. Once a week postings seem to be key, but the problem with that as well (and mileage may vary) is that some producers may consider a picture set as a private posting. Depends on if you like pictures, I guess. I don't, I think *a* picture or two should give you an idea of what the vid is like, and that vids should be the focus.
Wow, the more I type this out, the more I'm starting to wonder what the point of memberships are. But then again, mileage varies since my fetish is, again, so specific it seems.
