Juggling Fan Relations at Arm's Length

Juggling Fan Relations at Arm's Length

My “adult entertainment” journey started simply as a novel way to eliminate debt from my life, but after two years of creating content and interacting with fans, I have gleaned some ideas and tips that I hope will bring you value. One of the most important ones is: Sometimes, to bring someone close, you have to push them away a little.

When you say the word “boundaries,” people can react as if it’s a dirty word — and not even the fun kind. But the truth is that we all need boundaries, including creators. Maybe especially creators! Boundaries set expectations and create order. With expectations and order comes understanding and calm, allowing beautiful things to blossom.

As a no-face creator, I’ve sold over 16,500 videos on ManyVids and made it as high as the top 1.7% on OnlyFans.

Let’s translate that from flowery language into real life. Have you ever waited 20 minutes to get a bartender’s attention? We all have. If a place is popular, patience will most likely be required. It’s not that the bartender doesn’t want to get to you quickly; it’s just that there are others in line before you and the bartender is busy. As a customer, you naturally understand; you wait your turn, get your drink and enjoy a great night.

I want to have a great night, and I want my customers to have a great night too. So I’ve modeled the same approach. When someone joins my free OnlyFans page, that person is greeted with an automated message spelling out the analogy of the busy bartender. This approach allows me to set expectations and establish boundaries at the very beginning.

Clearly defining your expectations as a creator gives your customer the opportunity to respond. Will they respect your boundaries, will they test your boundaries or will they walk away? If the person pushes your boundaries, you have an immediate opportunity to hit the block button. If they walk away? Oh well, it wasn’t meant to be. But should the person respect your boundaries, that shows that you and your customer each appreciate the other, which is the first foundational step towards building any quality relationship.

As a no-face creator, I’ve sold over 16,500 videos on ManyVids and made it as high as the top 1.7% on OnlyFans. I’ve done this by being consistent with quality content, being honest and authentic, and knowing that existing fans are just as crucial as cultivating new ones and that none of this is possible without them. That’s why I accord my fans respect, including recognizing some important boundaries on the customers’ end too. While my fans all know I want their money, they know I want their “fun” money, not the money they need to pay their bills or feed their family.

Quality customer relationships cannot be bought or forced; they blossom organically. If you give respect, you will usually get respect — but if someone doesn’t return the respect you give, don’t hesitate to block them. Not everybody who walks into the bar can have a great night. But if you focus on being the best “you” and conduct your business ethically, your fans and customers will notice and appreciate you for it.

We’re all trying to make it in this world in our own way. I’m a big believer that, even in naughty places, we can still be good to each other.
