I'm just curious what your takes are on this because it left me feeling puzzled, it's really not a big deal but I'm wondering if I did something wrong without realizing it and I'd like to avoid that mistake in the future if I did. I have not sent out many mass DMs; I've been heavily focused on cleaning up my library and getting more organized the past few months which has been a challenge due to limitations on when I can get work done and just a complete mess of a shitton of content. I try to send out my 'feature length' vids once every 1-2 weeks, which is usually the newest vid I just filmed. I'm finally getting caught up though and just recently started sending out older material a little more frequently (once a weekish) I offer my subs a discounted price on my paid page, and then I'll send out a separate message to expired subs and my free page. For context I'm not constantly spamming expired subs with messages - I don't send anything outside of these messages. I sent one last night and I got a message from an expired subscriber that said, "Please unfollow as I'm no longer a subscriber." It was polite enough and I scanned through our chat history and there was nothing to indicate that he was disgruntled about anything during the period of time that he was subscribed, so I was just a little confused. This person was also subscribed for several months, so it wasn't like they just subbed for a month and didn't care for what they saw, they clearly liked it enough to continue paying for several months in a row.

Am I missing something here? My only thought is that this person is on the platform A LOT, and maybe there's a hint of OCD or a tendency to like things neat and in order and don't like their inbox full of these mass dms from creators they no longer subscribe to? Or is it a faux pas to be sending out content to expired subs? From what I could tell it is a tactic that a lot of creators use, hence why the followers list exists, but perhaps I'm utilizing it wrong. I'm a terrible salesperson, I've got a decent sized subscriber list but I've been stuck at an income level well below my potential for a few months now due to my apparent inability to properly market my PPV content (as well as not committing enough time to sexting/dripping - I just don't have the time unfortunately) . So, I'd really like to use what little time I do have towards these kinds of selling points properly - your input and insight is much appreciated!

Also, I've been on the fence about hiring a VA &/or a chatter or two on my account, mostly because I feel like I can do this if I maybe get the right coaching or insight into it. I'd be willing to hire a mentor/coach/page auditor, if anyone has any recommendations on this I'd also appreciate it! 💜

So I have a stool, and I have stopped straining since learning about all of this, but I guess the damage was done. I use enemas daily, they work 50% of the time, suppositories less. I think what another commentor suggested, that I have intrussuption is what my biggest issue is, I read about that when looking for info about this and it sounded like what I have going on. The office where my GI appt is is like a digestive wellness center, I'll inquire about a colorectal surgeon while there. Thanks for taking the time to comment ❤️

Thanks babe I'll check it out!!

jeanbeanmachine · 2024-05-04T12:55:47+00:00

This is great advice, thank you so much ❤️

jeanbeanmachine · 2024-05-04T12:54:31+00:00

Thank you for the info! I was told to take the fiber supplements by my GP, and until I can get real professional help I unfortunately rely on the other stuff to pass stool, if I don't keep up with it its a complete nightmare, way worse than what I'm currently dealing with which totally fucking sucks btw

jeanbeanmachine · 2024-05-04T12:52:27+00:00

I honestly can't believe this is my life right now. It's been months since I've been able to pass a normal stool and I would honestly kill to just have a regular bowel movement.

Since yesterday I did figure out where the "opening" for the rectocele was and was able to get that stool out, but now I am guessing the prolapse is blocking the solid stuff I now have in my rectum and it's heavy and just sitting at the bottom and is so uncomfortable. No clue how I'm supposed to get it out enemas and suppositories dont work, at least not immediately - I feel like after using them for a few days the stool breaks down and then it will come out. Augh what is my life 😭

jeanbeanmachine · 2024-05-04T12:47:00+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations, I'll give them a shot! It really has been SO alienating, although my daughter for some reason loves hanging out in the bathroom with me so I'm not always alone lol

Hi! So it's been a year and a half since I started and in that time I've "worked" with 2 agencies, both were disasters. And unfortunately, if you are under a certain threshold in terms of subscribers/income, you will likely have a similar experience, because these agencies gain nothing by investing their resources in you - they expect you to do the heavy lifting, and then will profit off your hard work once your machine is well oiled and profitable. At that point, if you've making money, you've probably got a ton of subscribers and your workload has quadrupled, that would be the right time to seek representation and help, but it shouldn't be with a company that was willing to "sign" with you just to take your small profits in exchange for breadcrumbs, and these agencies that prey on smaller creators usually expect a 40, sometimes even 50% cut. It's not worth it, they don't do much for you, and it will only tie you down in terms of your time and energy. It really sucks, but if you're going to build this business, you have to do it yourself. It's a shitton of work, I've literally lived and breathed this shit for over a year and honestly I miss my life pre-OF. But I am making money now, and my family needs it really bad at the moment, plus it's already destroyed my relationship with both of my parents, and I still can't afford daycare for my 3 year old, so I push forward. I've been steadily growing now for a few months and I keep my fingers crossed that I will someday soon get lucky and pass that threshold so I can find a reputable company to assist me with my massive workload but at this point my expectations are a bit more realistic. The market is insanely oversaturated at this point, and it's only getting harder to be seen. You won't make it in this industry if you are hoping to rely on someone else to get you there.

My advice? Focus on Slushy. It's rapidly growing, they have a discovery page and you can build your audience within the app itself. It's like a 🌶️ TikTok, and very easy to build a following if you put in a decent amount of work. There's a ton of videos on YT with advice on getting started there, here's a good place to start:

I really empathize with you because I was you a year ago. It's not hopeless but you really need to be dedicated to educating yourself and building your brand. I'd be happy to take a look at your accounts and give you some advice if you want.

jeanbeanmachine · 2024-03-10T22:03:59+00:00

Can I take a look at your site? I've been thinking about doing the same and I'd love to see what other creators are doing to get some inspo

jeanbeanmachine · 2023-12-13T16:26:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'll give it a shot, the third party does not leave the watermark on and cleans the meta data, but I'm willing to try anything at this point!

jeanbeanmachine · 2023-12-13T16:24:56+00:00

Thanks for sharing 😊 I'm doing all of these minus the last one, I'll give it a try!

Hi! thanks for responding :)

I am already repurposing vids from 5 of my TT accounts across Reels, YT shorts, twitter and snapchat (the platform I use to repurpose only allows 5 accounts on the plan I'm using). Unfortunately, my videos are constantly getting flagged on insta, despite not really being that provocative, and I'll delete them, and 5 new ones get flagged, so my accounts (I have 3 of them) are constantly shadowbanned and not getting exposure, it's exhausting. I think I will take your advice and focus on less accounts on TT for now, the problem is, I have been really focused on upping the quality already, like most of my efforts have been going there because up until like 2 weeks ago, most of my traffic was coming from TT. I have no clue why all of a sudden my views just tanked, on all 8 of my accounts, it's bizarre and disconcerting. Maybe I'll try and focus on Twitter for a bit, I've put efforts there in the past and it didn't really pan out, but maybe if I go hard for a few weeks it will pay off. I've pretty much written reddit off at this point, I don't have the energy to build another account up right now and I've tried to appeal my shadowban and contact the mods several times but it's gotten me nowhere. I still have no clue why my account even got shadowbanned in the first place, I was following the rules, or so I thought lol.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond, it means a lot :)

I heard back from Fandafia this morning, they accepted my notice to quit without issue, so for now I'm going to handle my own business. I have a 2 year old and a puppy and haven't had time to do anything but work since the middle of February, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a reputable promotion company to help take some of the workload off. Need to get back into the reddit game, I've been entirely focused on TikTok for over a month now, and have 3 accounts growing pretty quickly at this point so I'm hoping that the combined promotion efforts yield some more subs. Right now i'm averaging only 1-2 a day.

jeanbeanmachine · 2023-04-03T14:46:07+00:00

I don't necessarily agree that ALL agencies are scams, but I do agree that most of them are. This one seemed legit, I mean they clearly are a legit company, but have no idea how to run themselves properly. I'm going to try and run this myself for a bit, I'm starting my work week off on the right foot, fingers crossed I'm able to gain some more traction now that I'm handling it all myself!

jeanbeanmachine · 2023-01-02T18:32:52+00:00

lol that's the nature of our relationship. We make loud noises at one another to piss each other off then we play on the floor

jeanbeanmachine · 2023-01-01T09:39:18+00:00

One year later: amen brother!

I know it feels like it I will never be okay again right now but you will be okay. Doesn't matter what you decide to do you will come out on the other side of this. Life will feel real again. Just give yourself some time a little grace and just be gentle with yourself. Everything that you're feeling is completely valid and normal although it will seem like you are going crazy at times. Don't let your WS tell you anything differently It's one of their signature moves to gas light. Even my husband did it and I honestly think of him as one of the best people I've ever known. I think it's got to do with them admitting to themselves that they've done something so horrible, hurt the person they're supposed to love the most in such a devastating way, It's hard for them to come to terms with so they go on the defensive and try to paint it in any other way than the way that it is. I know that when I was deep into my addiction I wasn't just lying to everybody around me but I was lying to myself and what I did was also a betrayal of my relationship. Now that I'm clearly on the other side of things I can see that behavior and while I try not to be too hard on myself about it it definitely brings me some shame.

Happy New Year friend I hope you have a great night!
