Are you thinking of becoming an adult content creator or are you a beginner in this craft and not sure what you should be doing? This industry can be a lot sometimes, you either make it or break it. Here are a few things to consider that hopefully bring you to the top.
🦹🏼‍♀️ Decide what you’re comfortable with
If you are in the first stages of the process, ask yourself this: what would I be comfortable with? Would you feel content to show your face, your fully naked body, and your feet?
Not keen on showing your face? No problem, you can use wigs, masks or go the extra mile and cosplay. If that’s not appealing, jump in feet first into feet modeling.
Don’t want to sell pictures at all? You can use your words and become an erotic voice creator or a flirtmate by chatting with people.
đź‘Ł Find your niche
Submissive or Dominant? Role-playing? Golden shower? What’s your kinky, what are you into? There are plenty of sites that cater to kinks and fetishes so why not take advantage and go against the wave? It’s easier to make yourself noticed when you pick a smaller niche.
Use a variety of platforms to create a personal brand. There are plenty of adult communities out there – it’s just about knowing where to look (Google is a great start).

Consistently portray yourself on all platforms

Encourage engagement

đź’° Don’t anticipate a sudden rush of money
While there are perks – you would be free to create your own schedule, to create content from home, and get to meet people you’d normally not interact with, this job is not easy. You must promote yourself, make investments in your numerous aesthetics, get to know your customers, and stay focused. Frustration can get to you faster than money if you are just getting started, but if you are committed and diligent, there is good money to be made.
In the end, don’t forget that sex work is also about feeling confident, sensual, and empowered. Don’t lose yourself during money chasing.
