Authentically Connecting With Fans on Your Phone

Authentically Connecting With Fans on Your Phone

As we continue to watch the adult industry grow from all sides, it becomes increasingly more difficult to find ways to set yourself apart as a model. And adapting to our ever-changing world is very important, whether you’re a long-time industry veteran getting acclimated to the newer ways fans are discovering models across social media platforms, or just getting started.

While you explore all the tools and methods that more seasoned models have perfected over the years, it’s worth remembering that sometimes the job calls for one of the more basic skills in the biz — monetizing your mobile device.

Having the ability to hold an engaging conversation with your fans will not only help you break away from the pack, but it will prove to be a lucrative way to create special connections.

After all, the world has seen a clear shift in the preference of texting over making phone calls, but as we learned as a company that was first founded exclusively around texting, the demand for talent willing to connect with their fans over the phone is still alive and well!

Briana Lee, a SextPanther model since April 2016, shared, “Phone calls can be a huge part of communicating with your fans nowadays. It lets them know you are a real person and not just some random person texting them. You have to feel confident in knowing how to start a satisfying phone sex session, but also how to fulfill a personal conversation as well because your clients will desire both.”

As for Kailani Kai, who has been working with us since October 2019, she expressed, “In my experience, I have found that taking time to be more personable, giving that ‘girlfriend experience’ and being available to take phone calls will definitely set you apart from other models and help you retain regular clients.”

Sally D’Angelo, who has actively used the service since December 2019, advised, “If you’re a model, adult star or a cam girl, it is very important to have good public relations with your fans. I use my phone to get up close and personal with my fans. Calling is a very personal way to achieve this connection. It does not stop at simply getting an account, though; if you want to be successful, you have to work to find your niche with your fans. My niche is cougar, MILF and taboo. Most young guys have fantasies about being with older women, so my success comes from projecting a fun and naughty personality when you get that guy on the phone.”

Ultimately, in an era where fans desire responses from real stars, as they become increasingly savvy about the fact that platform DMs may be coming from a management service rather than the model, getting yourself comfortable with and making yourself available to take phone calls will instantly set you apart from your competition. Having the ability to hold an engaging conversation with your fans will not only help you break away from the pack, but it will prove to be a lucrative way to create special connections with long-lasting regulars, who will stick with you for years to come!
