I have started sending back audio responses to the questions that I am getting in my DM's. So if you have a question, feel free to DM me and I will send back my thoughts/advice. ✌️
2021-07-08 17:36:31 +0000 UTC View PostIn my last post I mentioned that my first ever "booking" as a videographer was with @stephinspace and @kittenwithfangs . It's wild to go back and watch this. I was just developing my style. I think this was one of my first videos that turned me on to the idea of recording before the shoot even begins. I love catching the people I work with outside of "model mode" when they are just their real selves and not putting on a show for the camera. Feels very intimate and authentic.
It's even more wild to think how good of friends I am with both of these people now. This was like my second day ever meeting Steph. I didn't tell her at the time, but I was a huge fan of hers and had a crazy crush on her. In fact, I actually just told her that a few days ago. That's another tip for you guys out there. Do not give any indication to the models that you work with that you are sexually interested in them. Treat them like little sisters. Be a supporting brotherly figure in their life. That's my little trick for making friends with the girls I work with. Obviously the attraction is there, you are a guy and they are models, but don't be so basic as to make it know in the first meeting. 😎
I get messages from male creators all the time asking how I got into doing what I do and if I have any advice. The answer to both of those questions is the same. Find an awesome female creator who you want to help support in any way possible, and do the things for her that she doesn't have the time/interest to do.
For me, it was working with @nakedbakers early on in her career helping her with tech issues that would pop up. That led into me being able to help with other things like setting up production operations (checklists, spreadsheets, finance tracking). Eventually, an opportunity arose for me to help build out a live stream setup for her show and once that happened, the door to content was opened for me. I started working with her more as a videographer and that gave me exposure and credibility with the people she was working with.
Once I started working more as a videographer, I really dove head first into it. I am a firm believer that if you plan to do something for a long time, you might as well learn to do it well. I would watch endless YouTube videos about the art of cinema and film. I would practice my camera work every day. And eventually I had the confidence to tell the creators in her network that I was a videographer (even if I felt a little imposter syndrome inside my head when I said it). I actually still remember the very first shoot that wasn't with @nakedbakers. It was at a party at her house last year with @stephinspace and @kittenwithfangs. I had made sure to let everyone at the party know that I was handy with a camera and could stand in for a tri-pod. Steph was the first person outside of Nb to ask if I could help film something. I was incredibly nervous but I didn't show it and just said yes. We crushed the videos and I have been filming with the both of them ever since.
Now a days my credibility in this network has grown beyond what I expected and I am getting approached regularly to work with people both inside and out of the @nakedbakers circle. All of that started from one person who I truly wanted to help. So maybe that same path will work for you. Make a friend in the business. Let that person know that you are there to do the "bitch work". Be a production assistant. But then use that connection to grow your talents and your credibility and if you get lucky, you might be able to turn this into a real career.
Question for you all. Do you guys use Snapchat for you content business?
2021-07-01 16:40:59 +0000 UTC View PostIf there was such thing as a heaven, it would have very similar vibes to what has been going down at the @nakedbakers house the last couple weeks. This place is a hurricane of positive energy and you can feel it the second you walk in. So glad to be a part of this.

Been helping a friend get going in this business over the last couple weeks. She is starting from scratch too. Figured it would be helpful to share with you guys some of the best practices that I am using with her. Disclaimer: these are just my opinions/strategies and you might be successful doing something else, but this is what has worked for me and my friends.
First, if you are brand new, don't jump right into selling. You don't really have anything to sell yet, unless you are already an established creator with a following on other platforms. But if that is not you, then pump the brakes and build up some fans first. Think of your business like a business. If it was a clothing store, you wouldn't open the store with one single shirt alone on a rack on a wall. You would wan't a whole collection of clothing before you even thought about opening the doors and paying for ads, etc. Same with your content business. Build up your content as well as a fan base, and then open your doors.
For example, with the friend I am helping, she doesn't even want to sell at the moment. She literally just wants to create content and entertain. That is exactly the type of attitude that finds success in this business. If she does that for the next month or so, she will develop serious fans by the end of that, and she will know if she even wants to continue to do this, which is more important.
As far as getting new people to discover you, Reddit is your gateway to attention. So is TikTok, but thats a story for a different post. Learn to use Reddit as if you were someone who wanted entertainment value from Reddit and not someone just trying to profit from Reddit. The community on Reddit is pretty good about ignoring a cash hungry account. They can sense it. Don't be so thirsty for cash. Make your focus learning to use Reddit and learning how to find subreddits that inspire you to create content and be involved. If you don't have the time to get familiar with Reddit and learn how to be social there, then maybe you should think about doing something else. You can definitely be successful without Reddit but if you are not willing to learn to use a tool which could greatly impact the success of your business, then I don't think you really care to be in business and you just are trying to cash out quick.
I have a few "tricks" for growing fast on Reddit. I won't share them publicly, but I probably will write up a little post about how to do it. I will definitely have to charge a good amount for it too, since if everyone did the strategy at once, it would blow up the spot and then I myself couldn't even use is. But for those of you who are serious about your business, it would be a good investment and I can almost guarantee that if you use the strategy correctly, you will make a couple thousand off of it in the first month. I am actually doing it with my friend right now and I will share some of her results when we are done so you guys can see how it works. Mind you though, and I hate to say this, but the "hotter" you are, the better it works. I have used this strategy with every kind of female and they all made money, but the "hotter" ones made a lot more.
If you think you would be interested in learning about the strategy I am talking about, drop a comment saying so. If enough of you care to know, then I will share the details in a future paid post. ✌️
Now booking. 😎

Putting in so much work at the new @nakedbakers house. Very excited to start booking shoots here.
2021-06-17 20:45:41 +0000 UTC View PostOver the last couple weeks the crypto market has taken a huge downturn. The stock market has also seen some correction. I was talking to a few of the creators I work with and they said they have noticed big drops in their revenue as well. Wondering if people are seeing this across the board. Have you noticed any significant drops on your end?
2021-05-23 18:14:53 +0000 UTC View PostWould you guys be interested in 30-60 minute zoom meetings where we go over your Reddit and OnlyFans accounts to make sure they are setup correctly and optimized for conversion? We could also end with a little crash course on Reddit promotion best practices. I would charge for something like this, but I don't want to start figuring it out unless people want it.
If this is something you think would help you out, let me know in the comments what you think would be a fair price for something like this. Thanks! ✌️
If you live in Los Angeles and are down to be a guest on the @nakedbakers livestream, lmk. We are booking. It’s all casual nudity, nothing too crazy. Lot of fun and a great networking/promo opportunity.

Some of the moderators on these NSFW subreddits are just trash humans on power trips. ✌️
2021-05-03 00:32:52 +0000 UTC View PostQuick and dirty rundown when it comes to having two accounts. The free account is a social media account. Look at it as if it's an Instagram for adults. Post social content with personality. Let people know what you are up to. Short clips and single photos. Don't make it only about PPV and selling. Make it more about creating a page where people can get to know you.
In addition to normal social posts also post little samples and clips from the premium content that is being posted to your paid account. This will keep people in the loop about new premium content and naturally lead them back to that page and get you new paid subscribers. But make sure your premium content is premium. Keep single photos to a minimum. Post sets (at least 3 photos). Make sure you have videos there too. Short clips 1-3 mins are fine, but every so often drop a good 5-8 min video on the wall. That will keep people around longer.
At the end of the day, your free account should compliment your paid. They should work together to help introduce people to you and give you a place to stay in contact while they get to know you more. If you make good content and you have a personality, they will naturally make their way to your paid from your free. ✌️
Edit: reminder, if you setup a second account, I would appreciate if you used the referral code in my bio.
I am going to be working on setting up collab shoots in Los Angeles this summer. If you are in Los Angeles and down to collab with other creators and want to be a part of upcoming shoots, drop a comment below and I will add you to a "LA Collabs" list that I am putting together. These will be good promotional opportunities and you will be creating with fun people. :)
2021-04-29 16:53:20 +0000 UTC View PostI am planning on making a video about the importance of having two accounts (paid and free). If you wanna get prepared for that one and create a second account, I would really appreciate if you used the referral link in my bio. If you do, I will add you to a list so that it's easier for me to keep in contact with you in the DM's.
Don't try to refer yourself, they don't allow it and you will just be giving OnlyFans an extra 5% when you don't need to. ✌️
A while ago I said I would make a "Reddit Basics" video, then I got side tracked with work. Do you guys still need that? Have you figured it out by now? I have some free time and can get that done if people still want it.
2021-04-27 20:50:36 +0000 UTC View PostIt looks like OnlyFans finally fixed the spacing issue.
We have spaces in between our paragraphs again. 🙌
For those of you who use Reddit, do you ever use it on a computer, or just a phone, or both?
2021-04-06 16:38:19 +0000 UTC View PostDidn’t realize so many of you were brand new. That changes things. I’ll be a little less harsh. I remember how confusing everything was when I first started in this business. Next questions then: **How many of you have a free account and a paid account?**
2021-03-31 20:36:59 +0000 UTC View PostHow long have you been creating premium content (content that costs money to view)?
2021-03-31 14:15:18 +0000 UTC View PostReal talk for a second. If you are going to slide into my DMs saying “need help can’t seem to get subs” and then I ask for your social links and you either have none or have only posted like 2 things... come on.
This is not free money. This is a professional sport. There are 100,000’s of other people out there grinding to produce creative content, build their brands, and grow their audience. I know my fair share of creators and I watch how much energy and passion they put into their work. If you think posting a couple times to Twitter or Reddit is going to pop you off, good luck.
Really take a look at your web presence and think, “would I buy anything from me?”
To everyone else putting in the time to create good content and share it around, keep up the hustle. This is an endurance game not a sprint. Put that work in. Be social. Grow that awareness. Have patience. Trust the process.
Too many people are messaging me expecting overnight success. That’s just not how it goes for 99% of people.
I want you guys to succeed, but some of you need a little common sense. ✌️❤️
I have had a couple people ask me now how to setup automated messages for when people subscribe. I recorded a little video showing you how. Definitely a must.
You can also setup that initial message to include a PPV message. It’s up to you weather you want to do that or now. If your account is free, I wouldn’t. Instead I would use that as an opportunity so send them something fun as a reward for following.
I also included a clip showing you how to turn on a setting that forces fans to send a tip in order for them to message you. I personally don’t use that setting but if you have a large account and you want to limit your inbox, maybe it’s worth enabling.
If you just started OnlyFans this year then you don’t have to worry about paying taxes on any money you make till next year. This upcoming tax deadline is only for money made in 2020. I have had a couple people ask me about that in DMs. ✌️
2021-03-27 17:20:10 +0000 UTC View PostHanging with @lexidances and she was asking where to find her 1099 for OnlyFans. Figured I would show her and share it with you all as well.
If last year was your first year making money from a 1099, remember to include it when filing your taxes this year. It’s super easy, you can use TurboTax and do it yourself. You literally just enter in the amount you got paid from each 1099.
The hardest part is going through all your expenses and categorizing which ones are for business. You don’t have to do this, but it will save you money.
I suggest going to whatever credit card/bank account you use and downloading a spreadsheet of all last years transactions. Then you go through that list and add up all the transactions that were for business and then enter those into the different categories on TurboTax.
**Pro-tip:** open a credit card this year specifically for business transactions and only put business purchases on it. That way in 2022 when you do your taxes, your expenses will be much easier to manage.
If you need personal help with this, definitely hit up @hefhughner . He actually enjoys connecting with creators to help them with this kind of stuff. ✌️
Nothing ruins the vibe faster than going to Chipotle and getting that one employee who is stingy with the scoops.
2021-03-18 23:53:52 +0000 UTC View PostSo glad @nakedbakers wanted to live stream the cooking show. It was a huge learning experience for me getting all of that up and running. Now it’s a breeze and I can sit back and enjoy the show too.

For those of you that got 1099’s from OF, how are you doing with your 2020 taxes?
2021-03-15 17:37:54 +0000 UTC View Post@hellojewels and @lexidances were about to use a tripod to film a custom boob play video. I wasn’t going to allow that. Hand held all the way. The full video came out really well.
