The 3 Tenets of Content Creation
The three rules you'll hear most often about content creation.
hen you begin your content creation journey and for many years into it, you will hear the same three pieces of advice over and over again. These three tenets should guide every move you make as you advance through being an adult content creator. When in doubt, when formulating your plans and strategies, when creating your videos, when interacting with your community, always remember these three things.
K.I.S.S
Originally, this meant Keep It Simple, Stupid but for our purposes, let's change it to Keep It Simple, Slut!
As humans and especially as creatives, we tend to overcomplicate things. Remembering this tenet can help you overcome feelings of being overwhelmed, flustered and the desire to throw your hands up in defeat!
When you're exploring a new site, when you're making a custom video, when you're writing your bio or editing your pictures, when you're gearing up for your first livestream or offering a new service for your fans - no matter what part of the content creation workflow you're on - Keep It Simple, Slut!
Consistency is Key
One of the hardest content creation tenets but one of the most important, being consistent is how you build your brand, your reputation, your content library and your fan base. You don't have to post every single day, multiple times a day but you do have to post consistently. You don't have to be online 24/7 but you do have to be online consistently.
The best way to achieve consistency is to start small. Remember our previous tenet: Keep It Simple, Slut! Aim to post once a week and once you've gained consistency with that one small act, increase to twice a week, four times a week, every single day. Aim to livestream at the same time on the same day, over and over and over again. Aim to respond to messages within 24 hours for every single message.
Your fans will appreciate being able to rely on you showing up. Your content library will grow at a predictable pace when you are consistenly making content. The more consistent you are, the better your brand's reputation will be.
Personality is Everything
The internet is filled with free porn - as the men will shove down your throat. And the adult creator industry is booming with new creators joining every single day. And while those two facts are incredibly daunting, be comforted by the knowledge that YOU are the product and service that you are selling.
Sure, the men can watch their free porn. And sure, there's a new creator every minute, it seems. But no one is offering what you are offering and that is, unequivocally, undeniably YOU!
Your personality is your commodity in this industry. More than your boobs or your genitals or your smile, adult content creation/online sex work/whatever you choose to call it is about curating an experience of you. The way you talk, the way you engage, the things you're interested in, your passions, the thing that make you you - these are really the things you are selling access to.
In conclusion:
Your adult content creation journey can often feel overwhelming, daunting and chaotic. Allowing these three principles to guide you along your path can bring clarity, calm and stability. Keeping these tenets top of mind while working your way through all the jobs that make up online sex work - taking photos, making videos, marketing, networking, branding, interacting with fans, re-working your strategies, etc. - will help to stave off decision paralysis, burnout and imposter syndrome (although don't freak out if you still experience these things, we all do).
