Pre-Launch

First things first; It's doubtful you'll get subs without any content. You'll probably want to upload 5-10 posts before promoting the page just so you have some content uploaded. Keep these simple, the less revealing side of your content. The tease if you will. The most recent post before you begin promoting your page (this is the next part in the series. Don't worry, I gotchoo) you'll want to be more spicy. You'll use this as a hook when promoting. You can even put a time limit on the post to push a sense of urgency with your launch!

One of my favorite things to do is shoot ALL my content at LEAST a month in advance and schedule out as I can. You'll especially want to do this for OnlyFans. People are paying you for consistency. Refer back to Part 1 for knowing your worth and pricing your content; you'll want to stick to a posting schedule minimum. Once a day? 3 times per week? That's how much content you have to shoot.

Shooting Tips

My favorite section!! I am a lazy human who really dislikes putting on makeup. So I bulk shoot content. I learned this in 2020 while doing New Cosplay Every Day. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. To keep up with the demand, I did shoot marathons and shot for about 8 hours straight, crushing out up to 14 looks including TikToks and some lewd sets.

The easiest way to prepare for your shoot day is to plan several looks (outfit, toys, script, location, est time) and organize them from easiest to shoot to hardest. Shooting cute lingerie in bed, and doing a messy whipped cream shoot in the kitchen?? Maybe do the bed shoot first. ;) I have an easy to follow planning guide and checklist in my Planner!

WHAT you shoot is entirely based on what you promise your subs. Regardless, please remember to shoot some SFW (safe for work) content to help promote it without revealing everything. This also applies to PPV content within your site. Have some footage or pics that tease the full PPV or set to make the sale! These can be cropped selfies, hand bras, whatever your limit is etc.

In personal experience (and research) I've found that images WITHOUT censoring (blurring, emojis, scribbles, etc) do much better to make the sale. I'm not sure why. Maybe buyers think the final product comes with a peach GIF despite saying "uncensored" LOL. This is why SFW content is a great idea to include at the shoot so you have some photos to share on Instagram or Twitter.

Whether you shoot with a photographer or solo, the only thing to keep in mind is LIGHTING and VIDEO QUALITY. No one wants to see a dark blurry photo of you somewhere. No one wants a pixelated video of anything. Don't have professional photo gear? No problem. Shoot during the day and maximize that natural lighting.

Tip Menu & Custom Content

If you've done any research at all, you've probably noticed a lot of models have tip menus pinned on their page. This is an ongoing menu for extra content you can offer on a 1-on-1 basis. If you're a very niche creator, this can be a great way for subs to get some more tailored content

You can put anything you want on your tip menu. Full custom sets, individual photos, prints, video chat sessions; or just list some reasons for your subs to spoil you! It's your tip menu so go wild!! I share my tip menu in the full handbook if you want to see that. Not sure what your subs might want? Ask them! Getting feedback from the people paying you could be extremely valuable in how you shoot and share content!

Maintaining Your Page

Okay! You have a fuck-ton of content. Now what? SCHEDULE IT BABYYYYY! My favorite thing in the whole world is scheduling out a month of content and forgetting about it. NOTE: this is not an excuse to ignore your page. You should actively be engaging with your subs, responding to comments, messages, and even sending friendly messages occasionally. Build that trust, and they'll WANT to know you more and buy your PPVs or customs.

I have a calendar system set up so I can curate a very EVEN month of content. I don't want to share 7 PPVs one week and none for 2 weeks. Keep it even, keep it consistent. I also try to regulate how often I share "the good stuff" on my pages. I set up a fun little system in my head as a guideline which I rarely follow, but it's a good reminder to regulate what I share;

#SelfieSunday #MasturbatingMonday #TataTuesday #HumpDayWednesday #ThiccThighThursday #FetishFriday #ShowerSaturday

On my page I go full topless with occasional downstairs flashes and teases. I film a lot of content in the shower. This system reminds me to rotate my content. I like to build up from tame to lewd and then drop a PPV and then drop an extra spicy as a thank you. It's a fun little rollercoaster for my subs.

Listen to your subs. If they request a lot of the same thing, or want to see more of x, consider it! As long as it doesn't cross your hard boundaries, it could be something you incorporate into your monthly content. Next blog in the series is how to promote yourself and your page.
