I know there are a tonne of these posts. When I first started, I read them ALL! And found them so helpful. So here I am, sharing what I’ve learned after 1 year.
I’m a no-face creator, I started at absolute zero. No social following, no Reddit following. I have a regular career but work for myself so my hours are flexible and I’m able to be home during the day.
I'm slim and white, with big boobs and I cater to a generic standard of beauty. My content is vanilla/caters to the big boob crowd.
📈Currently sitting at 1.2%. My best month I made $7.8k, this month I’m set to make more than that.
Here is my advice, for what it’s worth:
🔬DO YOU RESEARCH. This sub is full of useful advice. And full of amazing creators who are willing to help and share their knowledge. Do not enter into this thinking it’s an easy way to make money. Do not act entitled. Take advice from those who have more experience than you, and be grateful when they’re willing to give it. We’ve ALL had to do our own research, we’ve all tried and failed and tried again to find what works.
🪖This job is not easy. I reached 8-10% after about 3 months, then stayed there for another 7 months. After 10 months, I began to see growth. And I’m talking… 10 months of hard grind.
📣Spend 80% of your time marketing, 20% on OF.
💵I make most of my money from subs, the rest from PPV. Some from customs.
🍭Sugar Daddy’s don’t look for babies on social media. They’re all scammers. Paid promo isn’t worth it generally.
🚫I don’t share other creators on my page and I don’t spam my subs inbox with ppv. I offer an “opt out of ppv” in my welcome message - nobody has opted out yet. I send about 1 ppv per week.
🎥PPV: I don’t make new PPV very often, just when I’m in the mood and have the time. I have a menu of PPV pinned to my profile. Most subs won’t stay for more than a few months anyway, so the PPV is new and unseen for new subscribers anyway. If I get a lot of requests for something - a certain position or whatever, I’ll do a new PPV as I know demand is there.
🎞Customs: I used to do customs and dick rates. I don’t do dick rates anymore because I can’t be bothered and it wasn’t worth the money for me and honestly most of the dicks were just gross and I don’t wanna look at them let alone discuss it in detail. Customs take me a lot of time and energy, so I put my price up to $20 per minute, minimum 5 minutes, because that’s literally the minimum I’m willing to do it for. When I’m getting ready, filming, editing etc, I would think to myself “would you pay someone $50/$100 to be in bed right now, and NOT doing this?” - that’s how I figured out where to draw the line and what my minimum price is. If subs try to haggle or say it’s expensive, restrict their ass. Your time is yours and it’s precious. YOU decide the price of your time.
📽My system for customs: I ask them to tell me in detail what they’d like. What they’d like me to call them, what they’d like me to wear and what they want to see. I then tell them I’ll schedule it into my diary when there is a slot available. Once I have scheduled it in, I will message them to tell them I will be filming this on X date. I then take a 25% or 50% deposit, depending how trustworthy I think they are/how likely they are to bail/how specific the content is/how easy it will be to resell if they do bail. Once it’s made, I send it locked for the remaining amount. This way, im not wasting my time when filming, and it feels fair for the sub/they don’t feel like they’re at risk of being scammed. If they do bail and don’t buy the ppv I will sell it for general consumption. I only ever take money from them when it is scheduled and the sub knows the day I will be filming- for clarity and transparency - but also, because it gives me a few days to consider if I actually want to do what they’ve asked and if I have the energy. If I decide yes, I’ll schedule it in and let them know and take payment. If I can’t be bothered or I don’t want to do what they’ve asked, I just leave it. If they ask me again, I say “I’ll let you know when I can schedule it in, I haven’t forgotten about you, my list is just really long right now!”. I would say I only go ahead with about 20% of custom requests I get, because I’m either not into it or they’re asking too much (for example, it would take me too long to get ready and set up, they want specific stuff, position changes, outfit changes or whatever). If a sub asks you to do something that you’re willing to do, but don’t know how to, search it on pornhub and make notes (I did this for a CEI requests I got once and I’d never done it before).
🧮Making the leap to 1% - The kicker for me was tiktok. After 8 months of Reddit, I sacked it off. Upvotes and exposure plummeted when Reddit went onto the public market (stocks), and so NSFW subs and content got massively suppressed to appease the general market. When I began, you could get 2000 upvotes and to the Hot page relatively frequently if you posted enough. That stopped and it became a drag, a waste of energy with a very low ROI. So I stopped posting on Reddit.
🤳Tiktok - I started on tiktok, but it still took me a good 2-3 months to find what worked for me and what my niche was. I also have the added hurdle of being in the UK, so I needed VPN/USA FYP set up. For reference, what worked for me is USA SIM card, USA Apple ID, location services turned off, Surfshark VPN (nord and proton didn’t work for me). After 2 months of figuring tiktok out and reaching USA fyp, I finally started to see traction. I went from 8% to 1%.
🤳The main think with tiktok is CONSISTENCY. See your tiktok algorithm as your little tamagotchi - you gotta feed it regularly for it to work for you. So, if you can only feasibly post 3x per week - do that consistently. 1x per day? Do it consistently. If you post 5x per day, of course you’ll see quicker growth, but you’ll need to maintain it. So set yourself a manageable target and stick to it. If you post willy nilly, your algorithm will die. I don’t delete posts, I make them private. I don’t repost content - it never worked for me and always saw my views plummet. It does work for some creators however. I currently have 6 accounts. Some take off, some don’t - it’s random. Turn on analytics - if your posts aren’t reaching the fyp, log out and start a new account. If, after a week, you’ve had no posts with high views, log out and start a new account. Don’t delete the account, if your posts are still there, you’re still discoverable. Just don’t put any new energy into that account. Use trending sounds and thirst trap sounds. USE A HOOK. The main thing that matters with tiktok is watch time - if people watch to the end, if people watch again - your post will be pushed. Make them watch until the end. I make new content (I don’t repost) so posting once per day is manageable for me. I film tiktok content in bulk once a week. I’m just starting out with tiktok live and I think once I crack this it would take me below 1%. I use hashtags specific to my niche, especially when starting a new account - this helps the algorithm push you to your desired audience. I only use 5 hashtags. Once your page is established and you’re on the fyp of your desired audience, you can probably stop using them. You’ll get mean comments. Ignore them.
Hashtags + thirst trap sounds = fyp of horny men.
No hashtags + trending sounds = fyp of nasty kids. And they are NASTY.
📱Reels - I repost my successful TikTok’s to instagram. If you save your TikTok’s as a Live Photo, it will save it with just a small watermark in the bottom left. Crop it out and “save as video”. Then, directly save the video (so you’ll now have two videos - one with watermark and sound, one without a watermark and no sound). Post to reels, using the non watermarked video. Import the sound from the watermarked video. Again, post consistently. It takes 1-2 months to see high views on reels.
👀Don’t watch your numbers. Just see it as a tick box exercise. Even if your post isn’t that great on some days - just post to feed your algorithm. And then tick, you’re done for the day.
💻I don’t use twitter. Or chaturbate. Or pornhub.
📸Content - I use a camera and adobe lightroom to make good quality images. I only shoot in daylight. I use beautybox software for my videos. All of these things have been business investments (all over $200). I show PPV teasers in feed, full nudity in pics in feed (but not video). The rest is PPV.
🫦I do offer sexting but haven’t felt in the mood to do it for a long time, so I just say I’m not available. I’ve had some weird fetishes come up during sexting before that I wasn’t aware of prior so I always check first if “there’s anything I should know so I can make the experience super erotic and perfectly tailored” to the sub - then they’ll usually come out with their fetish and if I’m not down for it I’ll just say. No kink shaming here, I just honesty don’t know how to sext when they’re into ‘stinky dirty buttholes’ 💩🛟 (that genuinely happened midway through sexting and it caught me off guard 😅)
💬I chat to subs through the day, usually in the morning and before I go to bed. I treat all my subs like people and just talk to them that way. I show genuine interested in their lives and never try and sell them anything unless they ask.
🔥Burn out - I regularly experience burn out. Right now I’m on a roll, on a high, grinding and feeling motivated. I am very aware that in a month or so I will crash again (from experience, I know this will happen). So, I’ll make content to keep in reserve for those weeks when I can’t be bothered.
👙For creating content and making TikTok’s - buying outfits is expensive. I would buy clothes/dresses etc, leave the tags on, use them to make TikTok’s and then send them back. Obviously don't wear them out of the house, and you can’t do this with lingerie, but it was good to get me motivated for TikTok’s and doing try-ons for OF content, because who doesn’t love trying on cute clothes! In the beginning, I bought lingerie from Shein because it’s really cheap but the quality is awful. Now I buy lingerie from Honey Birdette (they always have an end of season sale where everything is 60% off) or Agent Provocateur (also during the sale)
✋Use a takedown service (I use Rulta) and WATERMARK YOUR GODDAMN CONTENT. You will be leaked. So protect yourself as much as you can.
💖There is no body or niche that is undesirable. Every body is desirable to somebody. You have to find your niche/your character and build on it. Hard.
💟For the majority of us: A lot of this is trial and error. It is not easy. You will not see success overnight. You will burn out. You will feel like giving up multiple times.
I can’t think of anything else right now 😂 feel free to ask questions below.
Edits: I have two phones. One currently has 4 tiktok accounts - it did have 5 but one got banned. The other has 2, I've only just set it up for USA FYP. I will create 5 accounts on each phone, but no more than 5. Your tiktok accounts will always get banned so try not to gt attached to them. When you start a new one, its always better than the last anyway, your content will be more refined to your niche and it will be broadcast to a fresh set of eyes. It's a good thing! A fresh start. It doesn't matter if you have 60k followers or 300 followers - views usually range in the same amounts.
