VIDEO QUALITY

Size Matters
Videos over 10 minutes are more likely to get featured and make more money.
Make sure your video has a beginning, middle and end! Videos without a cumshot/orgasm
tend to leave viewers unsatisfied and can lead to lower ratings

Visuals
Use good lighting and a camera with decent resolution to catch all the sexy action
Make sure your camera is stable and in focus

Audio
Users want to hear the action as well, so make sure to have quality audio
Only use royalty free music, or music that you have licensed in your videos

SETTING UP YOUR FAN CLUB

Models can create paid subscriptions, called Fan Clubs, that your
fans and customers can sign up for. There's a monthly fee for the
customer, and it gives them access to extra discounts, fan only
content, messaging, and more.

You're 100% in control of what's included in the Fan Club, and at

what price. Give your fans videos, photos, discounts, full access
to all of your for sale videos, or anything else you can think of.

You can disable your Fan Club at any time so no new Fans can
follow you. Fans who are already subscribed will continue to
renew.

Set the price that you want members to pay per month to access
your Fan Club (between $0.99-$150). Then choose what your
Fan Club is going to include.

You can add Other Perks that we don't currently have listed, as
long as it is legal!
