  1. Damn that Collin Simpson pricing structure sounds exploitative. I'm so down to message with my subscribers. Only thing I'm asking extra for is longer scenes and custom content requests (Send me fresh feet pics, etc). I had no idea that this was how Griffin Barrows got so famous but it makes total sense now.
  2. I hear you. I'm not about to start doing that, because I think it's unfair and inhumane. That said, I can understand how having hundreds of thousands of fans would require restricting access to your time.
  3. Thanks for the feed back, Todd! I do hope people find both personas, and I'm not trying to hide anything. Joshua Mann just doesn't fit what I'm serving, so before I push hard for the following, I wanted to choose a name that was truer to my heart. I would make the switch entirely, but I have a ton of good reviews under verslildevil and lots of links to my profile on Twitter that I want to hold on to as long as the OnlyFans life is getting rolling. I appreciate that y'all don't like the paid extras, but I'm gonna go with this model for a few weeks and see what kind of success it has with my subscribers. I'm not interested in charging anyone 20 bucks for a single video, cause I aggree that is excessive. I think $5-7 depending on the scene and talent is reasonable, but we'll see how it shakes out with viewership. Seems like RenoGold's model is working best and I'd like to give it a try; I certainly don't have his body, but I would like to have his income! Here's hoping-and hitting the barbells ;D
  4. I think I should clarify that I was trying to make a distinction between my escorting clients and my onlyfans subscribers. I'm comfortable having two different names because my escorting clients will find me as Joshua Mann for now, and my internet engagement will be united under one easy-to-search brand that better matches my content. It's also worth saying that I'm not interested in extorting anyone. My onlyfans is already over-delivering, in my opinion. I'd like to ask extra for longer videos that need other models for, as the extra work of coordinating, shooting, and editing a 15-20min scene is really an undertaking. I like that on OnlyFans, they allow me to set a "Fundraising Goal" So the subscribers that are interested in unlocking the video can contribute to a low-stakes amount like $25 in $5 pieces, and once the goal is reached, the video is unlocked for all subscribers. I think this is a great happy medium between "Keep paying me or be totally disappointed" and "Here's everything everybody all the time." I LOVE what you are saying about fan engagement. I'm loving engaging my subscribers and trying to get to know what makes them tick. The best internet customers for me are the ones paying my monthly subscription, and I need to know what they want to see so I can cater my feed to them. I'm committed to being most avialable to my subscribers, and answering their messages promptly. I really believe that this the heart of what people are paying for in subscription fees. There's a million jerk off videos and fuckvids online all over, but the ones who want my attention and affection are on my page and I'm committed to them. I'm offering a promotion for the 6month subscription because the most viewed piece of porn that I'm in is only part of the scene, and I want people to see the rest of it. I edited the video together, and spent a lot of time converting portrait videos into landscape videos, which is really a pain. The Boulevard Man stuff is really popular, and I'd like the release of this video to be slow and appreciated. I don't want to pressure you into a 6 month subscription, and I'm glad you are skeptical. I want your criticism and encouragement, so would you please tell me your OnlyFans userID so I can find you and offer you a free month? I would love more of your guidance. Guys that are willing to speak up about what does and doesn't work are really hard to come by, as most of the disappointed ones will just wander away to something else and let their subscriptions lapse. Tell me what you want and as always I'll do my best As I say above, and I think you were indicating before that, the heart of a 6month subscription is the connection through messaging and catered content. The content flows from my interaction with the subscribers, ideally, and messaging with them gives me a finger on the pulse of what people want to see from me. I'm finding that the most consumed content I'm producing is somewhere between my off-camera desires, and how people project that I am in the world. I'm not even convinced that dick pics are my selling point because I'm not hung, so I'm trying out new things and finding the niche. Right now, I think that is variety, so I can cast a broad net and focus down the road. I just started my first theme week, "Pool Boy Week" and have videos of me doing various sexy activities like skimming the pool, sweating in a lounge chair, inviting subscribers in to the day-to-day of gearing up for a poolside sex scene. The scene is really hot and I just finished days of editing, and I'll ask a little extra from my subscribers to release that content on Friday. Something small seems reasonable for original content that I worked hard to produce. I have 26 fans right now, so if half of them are willing to pay $5 for the scene, that seems reasonable. The others that aren't don't have to pay and will get access all the same. Later, when I have lots of subscribers, I can ask the ones that want foot fetish content to pay for that specific video, for example. I can make an armpit pack, and offer that for the ones that really love pits, and the ones who don't, don't have to pay for it, and it won't be in my feed to turn off the squeamish ones. I think that my subscribers want to see me cum. I think I can commit to showing how I do that solo once a week. I can show them glimpses into my life with invitations for imagining themselves there next to me, as part of the fun. And once a month, I can ask a little extra for the extra work I put into coordinating with other performers that will put on a great show. Then, when people want content that doesn't flow as regularly, or has the risk of alienating a significant portion of my fan base, I can offer it discretely in a message that has a warning label and a LOW pay wall. Does that still seem unfair? It sounds like you have been exhausted by overpaying for indifferent content providers, Wolver. I'm sorry that happened and I hope to do better than them. Keep telling me how to keep subscribers like you happy so I can keep producing content with TRACTION with a pricing scheme that feels right.
  5. Never been to Boston but I've always wanted to go. I'll be nearby in Brooklyn
  6. There's a REALLY Popular video of me getting fucked in Vegas, so that's probably where you got that from. (I'm actually giving away a more polished edit of that scene as a thank you to 6mo subscribers on my OnlyFans, if that is of interest.) I'm almost never in PS, but I would love to change that. It seems like a great spot to film, and I look great sweaty. I'm also looking for reasons not to spend the winter in Michigan or NYC ??? I really like your pricing recommendations. It's a slow grow, but at this point I'm afraid of alienating the almost 20 subscribers I already have by suddenly offering a free month for first time subscribers, as I think they will be my core. You've already seen my JustForFans with the promo code in the original message of this thread, and you can see my wheels turning for the coming weeks of themed content on my OnlyFans page, so I think you have what you need to make a decision. I'm very committed to daily content, weekly themes, and monthly longer scenes, especially once I have the following to attract other talent with big followings. I think I'm doing a good job of engaging with users, so far, but I love the idea of asking a question or two. What would you as a user be comfortable sharing with me? I'm happy to offer an extra perk for daddies from this site as a thank you for helping me make my brand strong and engaging. Once you subscribe, just message me with your username on this forum, and I'm happy give you a video that fits your specific tastes. Stay tuned this coming week for my first theme week.
  7. I actually might fly through LA or SF on the way to Hawaii in early November........
  8. Lazarus, How did I miss your thoughtful reply! I have some plans to do themed weeks on OnlyFans to keep it interesting. Don't let the cat out of the bag, but next week is PoolBoy Week, and I'm already making some fun videos giving a glimpse into the sweaty relaxed work that goes into making poolside sex so clean and carefree. We just had an orgy at the pool here in Southampton that was really sexy, but the timing was off as it happened at night. Luckily I followed one of the guys back to his pool with a cameraman the next day and we got some SUPER HOT footage that should make for a polished 15min scene to culminate the week with ? I think the key to having people feel good about subscribing without having met me is to give a real taste for who I am and the quality of my content on other social media like twitter and instagram. Incidentally, tonight there's a live cam show with a couple other models that should give me another place to showcase my style and plug the full list of where people can see more. Here's a link to rsvp to the free cam show tonight at 11pm eastern. Fill out the form and they should be able to get you into the Zoom chat still. If not, reach out to me and I'll try to hook it up.
  9. Guys! I'm so excited to tell you that I posted my first big promo on my OnlyFans page! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your feedback. The trailer for the promo video is the first thing you see on this page, if you want a taste. Thanks again!!!
  10. This is a great idea. I need to have a flirty intro video on my new OnlyFans that will be available to convince people why they should subscribe; the elevator sales pitch...
  11. I really appreciate the advice, rvwnsd. You're right, breaking a brand is bad for business, and it's a big risk. Unfortunately, I took the plunge and changed my name on Instagram to Jonah Slakes. I think I'll silo Instagram and Onlyfans and continue to maintain Twitter and RentMen and JustForFans until I gain a larger following as Jonah on OF and Instagram. Then I can change my name on Twitter and rely on being known more broadly as Jonah. I have two reasons for this. First, I think the Instagram and OnlyFans audience is more easily turned off by my extreme content and escorting in general. I think they are aspirational, and more class oriented. Secondly, JoshSlakes is a tongue twister, and Jonah Slakes rolls off the tongue a little better. I'll go by Josh with my escorting clients unless they find me on OnlyFans, and then I can be more tame for those appointments, and leave the huge dildos at home haha
  12. But now I'm stressed thinking of a name to publish under other than DaddyBoy. I really can't see Verslildevil making 100k/year on OnlyFans, but I feel like I should maybe keep Josh because everyone knows me as Josh. It's going to be a hard pivot on Twitter, but I think I can make it work. My best idea right now is Jonah Slakes for the new persona. Reasons: ?VersLilDevil throws off people who want to think of themselves as associating with good people ?DaddyBoyJosh reminds people about age dynamics which alienates a good portion ?Jonah sounds youthful ? Jonah and the Whale is a story from the Bible ?Jonah gets swallowed by a whale, which gives an image of me as petite, which I am. ?The story is watery which segues directly into the Surname ?Slakes means quenching thirst ?Slakes sounds slippery ?I can subtly hint at watersports, sweaty times, slime, slurping, and all those slithery words ?Overall image is of fountain of youth and fixing the dryness, which is a deeply personal life theme WHAT DO YOU THINK!?! Should I keep Joshua for consistency? Will I throw off escorting clients that know me as Joshua Mann, or will you be able to find me no matter if I change my name?
  13. Yeah I'm thinking OnlyFans at this point since it is just so user-friendly
  14. Wow, I'm so flattered by your feedback! I know this site is for guys who like to meet "in the flesh" more than digitally, but I wonder if the pandemic is changing that for any of y'all. Like because meeting in person is higher risk at the moment, are you seeking to connect on FaceTime calls? Yeah, I think the key is that many of us are posting teaser videos on Twitter and Safe For Work content on Instagram, and that's just not where many of our best clients are looking for us. That said, there are thousands of users on those platforms that are interested in paying a monthly fee for the window into my life through my iPhone. I'm still trying to figure out how to solve this discrepancy. Have you seen the Adonis Lounge webcam groupchats? I'll be doing their Ask Me Anything this Friday night if you want to check it out. I hope to field some questions about rebranding, the transition to online interaction, and buttstuff in general, so it could be fun for everyone. I know Coolwave35 on here knows something about how to get into the viewership on Adonis Cam Shows, and this would be a great intro if you are willing to work through some tech newness. I'm so glad to hear that you are into the content. I do think I'll make lots off of the more extreme sex videos, and I like Reno Gold's model: He has a paid monthly subscription for solo videos and daily content, and advertises to these monthly subscribers for his more extreme videos, which cost extra. Some people dislike this model, as many may have thought they should have access to this with his $15/mo subscription. However, the way he talks about it is that his subscribers get to "customize their experience" by purchasing access only to the videos they want to pay extra for, instead of him charging everyone $30/mo or something obscene like that. Maus and Terry are really good at what they do. I'd love to meet you. Let's keep trying! Thanks for your candor, StLouisOct. I'm curious if changing it to "DaddyBoy Josh" changes that for you. Like I'm kind of a daddy kind of a boy? Can you help me think of a name that works with my look? Just spitballing here, so no wrong answers. I was thinking I kind of look like a Jonah FWIW...Of course sticking with VersLilDevil is still an option, and keeps the momentum I have built behind that persona, but I fear that that is even clunkier than DaddyBoy... And as always, lets meet!!!
  15. Hey Daddies! I'm a masseur, escort, and amateur pornstar and I'm working on a rebrand, and I NEED YOU! I used to be @verslildevil and all my content is currently on Twitter and Justfor.Fans. I just started imagining producing my own content more seriously, and committing to growing a fan base that will support me full time, and something more in line with my sexual/emotional proclivities. Along that line, I'm working on a new brand: DaddyBoy Josh. On my Instagram, I already started the transition, and I need you Daddys to help me become a real success. I read your feedback about pricing and what I offer, and LOVE the opportunities to improve my business and interpersonal skills. I will likely keep the side hustle as a bodyworker and sex-educator when the right opportunity presents itself (Don't judge my massage website just yet!) but I believe that this extra-isolated time presents a great opportunity to take the connection onto subscription videos for anyone who wants to connect but is playing it safe, like me. Here's where you come in: First, I need to know what platform to launch this new brand. Which do you prefer: Just For Fans or Only Fans? WHO HAS MORE MEMBERS WILLING TO SUBSCRIBE TO DADDYSBOYJOSH? Please vote on the poll below! Second, I need to know what kind of content you want to see. On my Justfor.Fans page, I have tons of super-explicit content, and I'm hearing that it can be kind of a turn-off or intimidating. If you have a minute, you can sign up for two free weeks with the promo code "BusinessBoy" to see what I'm talking about. Obviously there is a lot of room for improvement with regularity, and I'll get to that next. But I also need to hear about what you personally would like to see me post about, and any other suggestions you have regarding what I currently have. As part of this rebranding, I may use the best of these videos if they fit my weekly theme, so what works for you? What really doesn't work? I'm committing to posting daily nude pictures/videos all in a theme. I'll post one longer solo-sex video a week, and a how-to video at least monthly. I know some things about some stuff—like gardening, cooking, and sex—and I want the challenge of getting clear about what I know and don't know. Additionally, I'll offer duo videos or group scenes with harder-core/fetish stuff for a little extra $, so there is a bit of a veil between the twitter-masses and my deepest desires-made-bare. I would be so grateful if you can comment with things you would like to see me use as a theme. I already have ideas like camping, religion, and daily hygiene for themes, but I need your creativity. What do Daddies teach boys like me about being a man? Let me know what you want to see in the comments below, and then stay tuned so I can show you what I learn. <3<3<3 Josh
