Whether you’re creating adult content as a full-time job, to earn a bit of extra cash on the side, or just for fun, the relationship between you and your connections is absolutely crucial to your success online and your content sales. Interacting with them regularly is one of the most important things you can do throughout your career, so we’re sharing 5 simple ways to help drive fan loyalty, interaction, and online success.
1. Use your platforms to your advantage
Most entrepreneurs in the adult space will manage their content sales on several sites. And often finding an approach that works on one channel, can easily be replicated across them all for similar results.
Why is it good to manage multiple platforms? Just like with social media, it’s great to have a presence that you maintain for maximum exposure while focusing more attention on the platforms that work for you. The same approach works on content-selling platforms. No matter your content type whether video, pictures, or live cams, users like to consume content in different ways (content subscriptions, one-off purchases, free teasers, etc), and sometimes providing that choice can make all the difference when it comes to gaining connections and making sales.
Tip: Communicating that choice to your followers across your digital platforms is a great way to show that your content is accessible no matter the preferred method – let them know all the places they can buy your content.
2. Be Human
It seems obvious but it can be quite difficult to strike the right balance between being strictly professional – focusing on sales and bringing in that human element. Adding the human element will do wonders when it comes to reaching your personal and professional goals.
Post your content links on social media and tell your followers and fans about your offers and sales – definitely. But don’t forget to start conversations, share things about yourself, drive interactions, reply to messages, say thank you to tippers on Flirtback and on social media – show people that others are enjoying your content.
Adding the human element will help your connections to get the most out of their experience with you.
3. Create polls
Give your audience a bit of control. As you’re building up more meaningful connections, why not let users have more say with polls, ask them what they like, let users decide your next content theme, whether you post a picture or video next, etc? Give them choices and get them used to regularly interacting with you. The more you allow your connections to influence your content, the more invested they will become in you.
Tip: Running regular polls on the same day of the week or the month will mean your followers start to expect it. You can even post in the lead-up to it ‘Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to help me choose…’
4. Shout-outs
Consider regular shout-outs to engage followers both on Flirtback and on your social channels. Whether someone has tipped you, bought your premium content, answered a question that you’ve asked, or shared your link, it’s always positive to say thanks, tag them or offer a shout-out.
Shout-outs can work really well to develop closer relationships with your followers… let others know that people are loving your work and show them how they can do the same.
5. Keep your audience interested
Once you start building up conversations with your connections, it’s really important to maintain that level of communication and keep your audience engaged.
Take some time to consider what level of communication you can maintain across your platforms, and where possible write a bunch of posts to schedule in advance so there’s always something going out, even when you don’t have time
However you’re currently interacting with your fans, we hope these 5 simple ways to help drive fan loyalty will help you up your game, build stronger connections and reach your goals.
