A FEW MONTHS WORTH OF UPDATES
FIRST, THE BIG STUFF
STAT GRAPHS : We have added chronological graphs that show your content earnings as well as prepaid amounts.
PREPAID EARNINGS : Exclusive content still receives an advance on long term projected income, but it is now called "prepaid" money. You can easily see the difference between what was prepaid and what your actual earnings are with the new graphs as well as the real earning numbers which are now shown in all cases in your dashboard.
TAGS MANAGER : It was clearly tedious to tag your content previously. Our new tagging tool hopefully makes that much easier. Tags are important to maximize your visibility.
VAULT : The vault is a private safe where you can store or move any content (except already released exclusive content). What's in it is completely invisible to anyone but you. However, you can choose to use some of this content in your private chats to give it for free or sell it for a fee.
CHAT TOOLS : You can now set up an automatic welcome message in the chat, as well as mass message your contacts. We are only getting started here so expect more sophistication in the future. We understand how important the chat is for those who know how to use it.
SUPPORT : We have hired many more support staff, so you should be getting much faster answers. But note that some of your questions may still incur significant delay due to their nature.
EASY UPLOADS : The content upload page can be overwhelming for new content creators, so we added the option to use a hugely simplified form. It uses your account default settings and records changes that are made to the content after uploading to become new defaults.
FREE CONTENT : You can now upload free content which greatly helps promote your brand and generate sales. You can find a lot of recommendations and explanations in the relevant information bubbles (?). If you are not releasing some free content, you are underperforming.
SFW/NSFW : We have also added a distinction between "safe for work" (no nudity) versus "not safe for work" (nudity/sexual) content and profile banner. We recommend to upload some *free* SFW content regularly.
CONTENT VIEWS : You can now see how many views your content is getting.
PAYMENT PAGES : We have greatly improved the payments page and settings to make them much more clear and added more control options.
PAID AMOUNTS CLARITY : We have changed how VAT and commission are calculated in order for you to get paid exactly the amounts that you see or ask, every time. It means that the VAT is added on top of what you are asking your customers to pay (so that you don't have to worry about it), and also that commissions are now calculated on raw values. To keep the same generous level of payouts as before we have adjusted the commission percentages on Sheer.
MOBILE DASHBOARD : We have greatly improved the mobile version of the dashboard.
MULTIPLE BRANDS : You can have and control multiple brands/studios with a single Sheer account (settings > account > add new brand).
CONTENT IMPORTS : Some of your content on other sites in the Sheer network can already be imported here.
MODEL ADDITIONS : You can now request the addition of new models to our database (edit content > models > suggest new model). You have to provide an ID doc for them.

SMALLER UPDATES
GEO RESTRICTIONS : You can now prevent your content from showing in certain countries or regions (settings > profile).
CRYPTO PAYMENTS : We can now pay you in crypto. But your users can't use crypto to buy your content, yet.
CONTENT SEARCH : We have added a search box for you to find your content more easily.
UPDATE STRUCTURE : You can now have several main videos within a single update, as well as previews and extras.
PROFILE POSTERS : Your main profile poster/banner should now be non-nude (SFW). Additionally, you can have NSFW ones.
PROFILE PRIVACY SETTINGS : You can choose to hide your age and country (settings > profile).
IMPROVED UPLOAD PERFS : We have made several updates to have less failed uploads.
AUTO TAG MODEL(S) : You can automatically add certain models to your content (settings > account > auto tag models). It is particularly useful to tag yourself when you are in all your content.
AUTO TRAILERS : We are now indicating when a small preview was automatically created for your video content.
SHEER VS NETWORK : You can now see (dashboard > earnings > [magnifying glass]) the proportion of your earnings coming from Sheer, compared to the other sites that are working with us.
STATS ISSUES : We have corrected a number of statistics bugs.
TRASH : You can now move content to the trash where it is not deleted immediately, to make it safer to use.
EMAIL : You can now change your email (yep, finally).
MASS MOVE : You can move all your content between brands easily. The choice will automatically appear when we detect that you are moving several updates to the same location.
MANUAL PAYMENT CAP : We removed the limit for manual payment requests (previously 1 time per week).
REFERRALS : Some referral income was not counted and will be added to your stats and balance very soon.
DELAYING CUSTOMS : You can now choose to delay a custom order.
BRAND MANAGEMENT : You can now delete and rename your additional brands.
MASS TAGGING : You can now mass tag your content : make the same tag or model changes to several updates, and we will automatically offer to apply these changes to all, or more of your content easily.
CHARACTER COUNT CAP : You can now write much longer descriptions.

UPCOMING Here is some of the stuff we are working on (there is a lot more than this) :
AUTOMATED COUNTER-OFFERS : When you want to sell exclusive rights for a target price that was not reached, we will automatically offer you to keep the content exclusive for a lower value. You will not have to constantly adjust your target before the deadline of 15 days.
NEW UPLOAD TECH : upload by chunks will be more reliable and allow you to resume failed uploads.
GLOBAL GRAPHS : similarly to the new graphs per content, you will have global graphs to see the evolution of your entire account.
VIEWS GRAPHS : we will be adding views to the existing graphs.
STREAMING : access large cam sites that are part of the Sheer network, or just stream privately to your chat users.
BRAND POPULARITY INDICATORS : We will be adding numbers that show how popular your brand is, in terms of followers and other metrics.
NO MORE PROJECTION : The notion of projected earnings will be removed as it is too difficult to understand, and also may reflect incorrectly on the future. We have been using 3 year projection, but that is a relatively short period, so the expected earnings would look significantly lower than what they will be.
AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS : We will add scripted analysis and recommendations to improve your visibility and sales. - That's it for now! We know it's been a while since the last update. We'll try to do better in the future.
