I just had a lightbulb moment 💡 & realized I've been talking about the 'pillars' of adult content creation businesses, but never really dived in to discuss what those are or could be, so let's discuss 🧵🪡

You're going to want to save this 😎

Every business will consist of different 'pillars', basically different avenues you utilize to earn money in your business as an adult content creator. Each pillar I'm going to list will have pros & cons to consider before choosing to implement it into your personal business 👇🏼

1) Live streaming (webcam modeling)

Pros ➕ Can be very profitable, you don't need to produce or sell content, & can be a fantastic way to build an audience if you're just starting out in the space & don't have a following (this is how I got into adult myself)

1) Live streaming (webcam modeling)

Cons ➖ Can be emotionally/mentally taxing, revenue can vary vastly from day to day & internet trolling is real. Not passive revenue earning. Time intensive, you must show up/put in the time to grow a big enough base to be financially secure.

1) Live streaming (webcam modeling)

My take is that this is still one of the cheapest/most effective ways to expose yourself to new audiences & convert them. Interacting live w fans converts highly because they know you're real, & can see your personality on display.

2) Sexting/Audio Calls/Video Calls

Pros ➕ You don't need to know how to produce full-length videos, & can rely on real-time mini clips/pics. You can earn even without being makeup rdy (sexting/audio calls). You can operate without major tech (just a phone). @SextPanther

@SextPanther 2) Sexting/Audio Calls/Video Calls

Cons ➖ Can be time intensive (sexting). Not passive revenue earning (unless you utilize the 'feed' so you can get unlocks. To maximize video call earnings, must be camera rdy (in whatever that means to you as a creator)

@SextPanther 2) Sexting/Audio Calls/Video Calls

My take is this is a great way to build extreme rapport w fans, who are more loyal/spend more $ because they feel they have more access to you 1-on-1 which few other avenues offer. A low-tech biz that can accompany other biz pieces seamlessly.

@SextPanther 3) Clip sites

Pros ➕ Not time intensive, you create one content piece that can sell forever. Truly passive income. Great to create new fans & gain exposure to new audiences. Compounding effect, as your library grows so will your income.

@SextPanther 3) Clip sites

Cons ➖ You must know how to create/produce content. You may need equipment & tech (lighting/computer). You may not sell much in the beginning. You need to consistently post new clips.

@SextPanther 3) Clip sites

My take is, clip sites should be a pillar in everyone's adult creator business if they make content. (Because if you're already making content, why wouldn't you want to sell/profit off of it forever - residually)

@SextPanther 4) Fansites (like Onlyfans)

Pros ➕ Fans are familiar w this biz model because subscription businesses are trending rn. A great way to build a community. Cost-effective for fans. Low barrier of entry, most pages have free trials or discounted first 30 days for fans.

@SextPanther 4) Fansites (like Onlyfans)

Cons ➖ Must know how to produce content. Most create new content consistently. Time intensive (scheduling content/interacting in DMs)

@SextPanther 4) Fansites (like Onlyfans)

My take is, this is an important part of our business model right now as it provides some resemblance of stability. Subscription revenue tends to be more predictable in comparison to other pillars, which tend to vary more drastically.

@SextPanther 5) Selling shoutouts

Pros ➕ You can make money exposing other creators to your fans/audience. You will increase your 'posts' number on your fansite because you're posting other creators.

@SextPanther 5) Selling shoutouts

Cons ➖ Sometimes fans hate seeing shoutouts/ads for other creators on your fan site/socials. It can seem inauthentic. It can water down the value of your fansite/social to your target audience.

@SextPanther 5) Selling shoutouts

My take is, this is a great way to earn $ by capitalizing on your audience. I think there's a time/place for it in our biz. My suggestion is to sell shoutouts on your FREE fansite & make your VIP 'Ad Free' as a value add to encourage your fans to upgrade 😎

@SextPanther 6) Selling physical goods (panties etc)

Pros ➕ You can buy the goods cheaply & mark them up high - meaning they can have good profit margins. You don't need to make content to do this (although it helps). Not time intensive.

@SextPanther 6) Selling physical goods (panties etc)

Cons ➖ Difficult to build an audience (only doing this). Can be a hassle to ship. Can be difficult to calculate profit depending on where you have to ship it & the shipping cost.

@SextPanther 6) Selling physical goods (panties etc)

My take is, although I do this it's not a massively profitable part of my business. If your audience is interested in this, I suggest you do it, just make sure what you charge ensures it will be a profitable endeavor.

@SextPanther 7) Affiliate revenue (traffic)

Pros ➕ Earn money on the audience you've already built. Not time intensive. Truly passive income. You can be an affiliate to your fans/audience as well as to other creators. No content/No need to be camera ready.

@SextPanther 7) Affiliate revenue (traffic)

Cons ➖ Must have an active & engaged audience. (Must have an audience in general). Must track & manage your affiliate links/revenue.

@SextPanther 7) Affiliate revenue (traffic)

My take is, EVERY CREATOR should be implementing affiliate marketing in their biz. Not just for adult sites you send fans to, tools you suggest for models, but just general products you love etc. This is a massive $ opportunity most creators miss.

@SextPanther Alright, this thread is already hella long so I'm gonna cut it off here. Do you know of any other avenues to monetize in an adult creator business that you feel like I missed?
