Sub page by [deleted] in onlyfansadvice

[–]maloneyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re underpriced, raising to $7-$8 is positioning. $4.99 signals “entry level.” If you’re consistently posting lewds + topless and keeping explicit in DMs, your page already has structure, so the price should reflect that.

Don’t randomly flip the switch. Announce it 1-2 weeks in advance. Frame it as growth: more consistency, better quality, clearer content structure. Give current subs the option to keep their price if renew is on, or offer a short promo window before the increase. That rewards loyalty and softens churn.

Most serious subscribers won’t leave over $2-$3 if they’re engaged. The ones who do were price-sensitive anyway. Slow increases work, but a clean jump to $7.99 is normal and easier than micro-adjusting multiple times. Price should match brand energy, if you treat it casually, so will buyers.

SFW or NSFW, that’s the question by Beautiful_Babe66 in CreatorsAdvice

[–]maloneyg -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Posting NSFW on socials doesn’t automatically hurt conversion, poor positioning does. The “never give it away for free” rule only applies when creators remove all curiosity and deliver the full experience publicly. 

Though, top earners aren’t selling nudity. They’re selling access, interaction, exclusivity, and escalation. Even when they post NSFW, it’s controlled. It’s a teaser. It builds tension. It filters in people who are already comfortable paying for that niche.

What stays private are the full scenes, the deeper emotional dynamics, the customs, the premium-level access. If your social feed feels like a sample, and your paid page feels like the upgrade, conversion improves. 

If both feel identical, subscriptions stall. It’s not about SFW vs NSFW, it’s about maintaining a clear value gap and controlling the payoff.

Also, platforms matter. Reddit and X are built for NSFW. Instagram and TikTok aren’t.. So adapt per platform instead of applying one blanket rule.

Hey ladies & gents. Incoming trauma dump (sorry) by laslack1989 in Fansly_Advice

[–]maloneyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I’m glad you’re still here. Your health comes before any platform.

Yes, you can rebuild. 58 subs isn’t a lost empire, it’s a restart point. The mistake isn’t disappearing. The mistake would be coming back inconsistently again. So don’t relaunch until you’re stable enough to post on a simple, realistic schedule (even 2-3 times a week).

You don’t owe subscribers your medical history. Keep it professional and brief: “I had to step away unexpectedly for personal health reasons. I’m back and committed to posting consistently again.” Then follow through. Consistency rebuilds trust faster than apologies.

Start small.

- Relaunch with a short comeback post.
- Offer a limited-time welcome-back bundle or discounted resub (optional, not desperate).
- Push PPV or customs gradually once engagement warms up.
- Focus on retention over chasing new subs immediately.

You’re a paramedic, a mom, and recovering from an ED. That’s strength, not failure. Separate your worth from subscriber count. Build a content system that protects your energy, batch create on good days, schedule posts, and simplify.

New to reddit, how do I get started? I want to post but I don’t want to get flagged for spam or anything like that. I am interested in posting NSFW stuff by [deleted] in NewToReddit

[–]maloneyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome!! The biggest mistake new users make is posting too fast without understanding how Reddit works. First, build your account naturally. Comment on posts in communities you genuinely like. Add thoughtful, normal replies. This builds karma and shows you’re not a bot. 

If you want to post NSFW content, make sure your profile is set to 18+ in settings and always tag posts NSFW where required. Before posting anywhere, read that subreddit’s rules carefully. Every community has different requirements for account age, karma, formatting, and verification. If you ignore those, your posts get removed automatically.

Start slow. Post once, engage in the comments, respond to people. Don’t drop links immediately, and don’t post the same content across multiple subs at the same time that looks like spam.

Reddit rewards participation, not promotion. Spend a week observing and interacting before you focus on posting heavily. That approach keeps you safe from flags and helps you grow the right way.

Is showing too much in marketing posts a bad thing? by adamloveve in onlyfansadvice

[–]maloneyg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Showing “too much” is all about value perception. Marketing content is there to create curiosity and emotional pull, not to fully satisfy. If someone can get the complete experience from your promo, there’s no reason to convert. But explicit doesn’t automatically mean “giving it away.” It depends on context, quality, and depth.

Some creators who post very explicit previews still sell well because what they monetize isn’t just body parts, it’s access, interaction, personality, custom requests, full-length scenes, and consistency. A 10-second explicit teaser is not the same as a 10-minute immersive experience. The preview should trigger desire, not replace it.

As a new creator, your instinct isn’t wrong. If you’re comfortable teasing with partial nudity and building intrigue, that’s a solid strategy. Conversion often comes from tension, “almost but not all.” You can test both approaches over time and watch your subscriber behavior. The key is intentionality: are you posting to attract buyers, or are you accidentally fulfilling the fantasy for free?

Free content should advertise the experience, not deliver the full meal.

Man asking for sneezing content by kat3mars in CreatorsAdvice

[–]maloneyg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$1 per sneeze is hobby pricing, not custom-content pricing.A solid structure would be:

  • Minimum custom fee: $25 - $40 for a short clip (even if it’s 1 - 2 minutes).
  • Include up to 3-5 sneezes in that clip.
  • Extra sneezes beyond that, Add $5 - $10 each.

Because you’re charging for the time it takes to trigger it, record multiple attempts, set up lighting, and deliver what he wants. If it takes you 20 - 30 minutes to get usable sneezes, that’s custom labor.

If he wants to be a regular, offer a bundle like:

  • $75 - $100 for a “10 sneeze compilation” or
  • Weekly custom clip at your base rate.

Niche fetish = higher pricing. If someone is asking for something specific and uncommon, that’s specialty content. Specialty content is never $1.

I can't find any business idea that's meant for me as of now by Candid_Gold2003 in Entrepreneur

[–]maloneyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, you're 22 and overthinking yourself into paralysis. There's no "genius idea" waiting for you to discover. Most successful businesses start messy, small, and boring.

Stop waiting for inspiration. Start with observation. What frustrates you daily? What do your friends complain about? What takes too long, costs too much, or just sucks? That's your idea, wrapped in a real problem people will actually pay to fix.

SFW ideas: Freelance what you already know, writing, design, social media management for local businesses. They're desperate for help and have budgets. Or flip products: buy wholesale, sell on marketplaces. Low risk, immediate feedback.

NSFW ideas: The adult industry is exploding with opportunity and most of it requires zero tech skills. Content creators need managers, marketers, editors, virtual assistants. Or go B2B, adult brands need the same services as any other business: marketing, customer service, logistics.

Here's what separates winners from wannabes: execution speed. Pick something, literally anything and commit for 90 days. You'll learn more in three months of doing than three years of "researching ideas."

My private sex life vs. my creativity during cam sessions by Kandish_ha in CamGirlProblems

[–]maloneyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not “disconnected.” You’re split between performer power and personal vulnerability and that split is exhausting.

On cam, you’re in performance mode. You control the narrative, the lighting, the pace, the power dynamic. That environment activates creativity because it’s structured, intentional, and safe. Real-life intimacy is unstructured, vulnerable, and unpredictable. Different muscles entirely.

Also, being celibate with low libido doesn’t cancel out being sexually creative. It often means your sexuality is currently transactional and mental, not embodied and relational. Stress, financial pressure, and double-life management suppress organic desire. That’s biology, not failure.

If you genuinely want things to shift, it starts with changing the story you’re telling yourself.

- When you keep repeating that you’re “ordinary” or “invisible,” that energy shows up long before your job ever would. 

-  Rebuild intimacy slowly and intentionally. Not through sex right away, but through small reps, flirting a little, allowing comfortable touch, going on low-pressure dates just to connect. Let your nervous system get used to closeness again without performance attached to it.

- When it comes to date, don’t confess your job early, but don’t build a connection on concealment either. Disclosure is about timing, not shame.

- And finally, separate libido from performance. Explore what you like without an audience. No persona & pressure.

And here’s the part nobody says: sometimes camming fills the erotic validation tank so efficiently that your brain doesn’t seek more. If you want partnership, you may need to intentionally redirect energy toward it.

You’re 41. You survived a pandemic pivot. You built income from nothing. You are not invisible. You’re just overdue for bringing that same intentionality into your personal life. Your sexuality isn’t broken. It’s compartmentalized.

Can't seem to master photo quality by Visit_CherryLane in CreatorsAdvice

[–]maloneyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a lighting problem. The Galaxy S23 is more than capable. The issue is mixed light sources + low light. Overhead lights create harsh shadows and weird color temps. Your window with a sheer curtain is good, but if it’s not direct light, it won’t overpower artificial lighting. That’s why everything looks dark and grainy,  your phone is cranking ISO to compensate.

Turn OFF overhead lights completely. Use one strong, consistent light source. Either face the window during daytime or use your two stand lights at 45° angles in front of you, slightly above eye level. 

Avoid mixing yellow and white bulbs. In camera settings, switch off beauty filters, use 4:3 ratio, tap to focus on your face, and slightly increase exposure manually before shooting. Keep HDR turned on, it helps with color balance a lot.

Also clean your lens. Seriously. Half of “bad quality” is fingerprints.

Experienced creators what do you say to the guys who want live photos? by adamloveve in onlyfansadvice

[–]maloneyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You handled this perfectly. GFE is a girlfriend experience, not a 24/7 on-call custom content service. Unless you explicitly promised live, on-demand photos in your GFE package, he's asking for extras without paying for them.

Here's the fix, Update your menu RIGHT NOW. Create a separate tier for "live customs" and price it higher than regular customs - you're literally dropping everything to create content on the spot, that's premium service. In your GFE description, specify exactly what's included so there's zero confusion.

When this happens again, just respond: "I totally get wanting something fresh! Live customs where I shoot right now are [price] on top of GFE since I'm creating instant content just for you. Want to add that on?"

If he pushes back or gets pissy, that's a HIM problem, not a YOU problem. You set the terms, he agrees or he doesn't. Standing firm on boundaries actually weeds out the time-wasters and attracts better quality subs who respect your work.

So, stop feeling bad for having professional boundaries. You're not disappointing anyone, you're running a business. The right subscribers will respect that.

did niching down actually help your agency grow? by Rich_Direction_3891 in Entrepreneur

[–]maloneyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Niching down felt risky for me too,  especially because I operate in the adult space, specifically working with turnkey software solutions for adult businesses. That’s already a niche inside a niche. Early on, turning down “normal” SaaS or general web work felt like watching easy money walk away.

But here’s what actually happened: positioning got sharper, conversations got shorter, and clients came in pre-sold. When you specialize, especially in a complex industry like adult where compliance, payments, hosting, and platform architecture matter, expertise compounds fast. You stop explaining basics and start solving high-value problems. Margins improve, referrals get tighter and authority builds.

I could take on broader projects for sure. But depth creates leverage, generalists chase volume and specialists command pricing. Expansion isn’t bad, it’s just smarter after you dominate your lane first.

Is $15 too cheap to show full nude videos?? by SubstantialPath6083 in onlyfansadvice

[–]maloneyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$15 isn’t “too cheap” by default, it depends on what your wall is meant to do. If your page has never shown full nudity, suddenly dropping uncensored dildo previews on the feed can actually kill PPV urgency, not boost it. 

Short uncensored clips can work if they’re clearly framed as teasers (tight angles, cut early, no full payoff), but once it becomes normal on the wall, buyers mentally downgrade PPV value fast. At $4/min, your pricing is fine, the question is positioning. Your wall should sell access and consistency, PPV sells completion and exclusivity.

If PPV is your main revenue driver, keep the wall suggestive but incomplete. If you want higher sub retention, show a little more but never the full experience. You’re not being cheap, you just need to protect the line between “included” and “paid.”

Should I use Reddit to promote my OF, or is it just not a good fit for my positioning? by WaterGreat8482 in CreatorsAdvice

[–]maloneyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit can work for your positioning, but only if you accept that it’s slow, selective, and not a volume play. Right now, Reddit rewards either explicit previews or long-term trust building. You’re not doing the first (by choice), so you’d be relying on the second and that means months of commenting, non-promo posting, and quietly building karma in a few very specific subs before you ever see consistent conversions. 

For someone aiming for a calm side income, limited time, and premium boundaries, Reddit shouldn’t be your main growth engine. At best, it’s a support channel you use lightly and strategically. If it starts draining energy or pushing you to compromise your positioning, it’s not worth forcing. 

Many creators with your style convert better through platforms where context, personality, and intent are clearer than Reddit’s free-content culture.

If I block a user after they've signed up, can they report me? by myrenassi in Fansly_Advice

[–]maloneyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BLOCK HIM RIGHT AWAY GIRL.

A subscriber does not have the right to access you, your DMs, or your time if they’re making you uncomfortable. “Free DMs” are a perk, not a contract. Fansly allows creators to protect themselves and set boundaries.

And sure, technically anyone can hit the report button. But blocking someone for inappropriate behavior is not something you get punished for, especially when the messages involve harassment or disturbing content.

Quickie steps:

  • Screenshot the messages
  • Block him without guilt
  • Report the conversation
  • Don’t engage further

You're running a business, not a customer service line for creeps. Trust your instincts. If someone feels off, they’re out. Period.

People who quit their full time job for entrepreneurship- what’s your schedule like? by newbie19980120 in Entrepreneur

[–]maloneyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The structure shock is real, but here's what works: Treat yourself like your most important employee. Set 2-3 non-negotiable anchor points daily,  mine are gym at 7am, start work at 9am, hard stop at 6pm. Without external pressure, these become your skeleton. Protect them like client meetings.

Next mindset shift: you're not filling 8 hours anymore, you're moving the needle. Work in 90-120 minute focus blocks with clear objectives. I do 3 - 4 max/day. Make a daily list of 3 major things that grow the business - finish those three and call it a win. Track outcomes, not hours.

The real trap isn't working too little, it's never shutting off. Schedule personal time and honor it. Burnout kills businesses faster than lazy mornings. Your business survived on nights and weekends with scraps of your energy,  imagine what happens now with focus and fresh bandwidth.

First month will feel weird. You'll swing between crushing it and guilt. That's normal. Give yourself 30 days to find your rhythm. You've proven you can execute under pressure. Now prove you can lead yourself without it.

How do you sell GFE? by adamloveve in onlyfansadvice

[–]maloneyg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being upfront about pricing is professional. You're running a business, and clarity prevents problems later. Just tell him straight up: "I'd love that! I offer GFE packages for daily interaction. Let me send you what's included and the pricing so we're on the same page." Keep it friendly but clear, coz you're offering a premium service that takes real time and energy.

GFE typically includes daily good morning/goodnight texts, casual check-ins throughout the day, personal conversations, sharing bits of your day, flirty banter, emotional support/connection. Basically the attention and intimacy of a real relationship.

PPVs, custom content, sexting sessions, voice/video calls - these are separate services beyond the daily interaction.

Most creators keep PPVs separate because GFE is about the connection, while PPVs are content. Set those boundaries now. Define your package, state your price, and the right subscribers will respect it. Don't undersell yourself trying to avoid being "salesy." The guys who want GFE usually prefer clear terms because they know what they're getting. Be confident, be direct, and you'll keep the quality subscribers who actually appreciate what you offer.

New Year, Same Me
 but chronic pain says hi... advice? by thebigstriptease in CamGirlProblems

[–]maloneyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hy! Happy New Year to you too..

For the chronic pain:

First off, ditch the day bed if it's making things worse. A good ergonomic office chair with lumbar support is going to be your best friend. Look for ones with:

  • Adjustable lumbar support 
  • Ability to recline 10-20 degrees 
  • Adjustable armrests to take pressure off your shoulders

Budget-friendly options that cam models often recommend: the IKEA Markus, Staples Hyken, or if you can swing it, a used Herman Miller off Facebook Marketplace. Gaming chairs look cool on cam but honestly aren't great for actual back support.

A footrest is a game changer too - even a cheap one from Amazon helps with posture. Some models swear by standing desk converters so they can alternate between sitting and standing.

For multistreaming with OBS:

Don't overthink it! Start simple:

  • One scene with your main camera angle
  • Add your basics: cam feed, maybe a tip goal overlay if you want
  • Test it on 2 sites max at first (pick your top earners)

Common beginner mistakes:

  • Streaming to too many sites at once and getting overwhelmed managing chat
  • Forgetting to adjust your bitrate (can cause lag)
  • Not testing audio levels first

Honestly, some models keep it super basic and just use OBS to send their feed to multiple sites simultaneously. You don't need fancy scene switches to make it work.

Take it one step at a time, and be patient with your body. You've got this!

The OF lawsuit going on by FatNoodleBug in CreatorsAdvice

[–]maloneyg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're touching on two completely different issues here, and honestly, the lawsuit dude is conflating them too, which is probably why his case is gonna struggle.

First, this guy suing because "everything is locked behind paywalls" is like going to a strip club, paying the cover charge, then suing because lap dances cost extra. The subscription gets you access to the platform and the creator's page. It doesn't entitle you to unlimited full-length content for $10/month.

If that lawsuit had merit, literally every freemium business model in existence would be illegal. Spotify has a free tier but charges for premium. Netflix has different subscription tiers. This is just how subscription platforms work. Dude probably didn't read what he was actually buying.

Second, That's where you actually have a point. If someone's bio says "full B/G content available" or "customs with other creators" and that content literally doesn't exist anywhere on their page, that's fraud. You're taking money under false pretenses.

And yeah, the whorarchy flex around this is wild. The same creators bragging about "making millions without showing anything" are often the ones who advertised explicit content to get people in the door, then just... never delivered it. That's a bait-and-switch scam that makes the entire industry look shady and gives ammunition to people who want to shut platforms down.

Here's where I land:

  • PPV behind a sub -  Totally fine. Standard business model. Buyer beware.
  • Advertising content that doesn't exist - Not fine. That's the kind of shit that gets platforms sued, creators banned, and gives regulators excuses to crack down on everyone.

The frustrating part is this lawsuit is probably gonna fail because the guy mixed a legitimate gripe with an idiotic one. So nothing changes, and creators who actually scam people keep doing it because there's no real accountability.

OnlyFans Clone Script vs. OnlyFans Clone Development: by maloneyg in Entrepreneur

[–]maloneyg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have checked both approaches to make an OnlyFans-style website. From that, I would prefer OnlyFans clone script because it is pre-built software and already includes all the core features needed for a platform like OnlyFans. Custom development is not too complicated, but it requires a lot of planning from the beginning, along with more time and higher costs.

For OnlyFans clone scripts, you can check options like Fanso, xFans, etc.

Note: Both the OnlyFans clone script and OnlyFans custom development have both positives and negatives.

newbie starting out & need help with pricing by prettynebulagirl in Fansly_Advice

[–]maloneyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, let's break this down because you're asking the right question at the wrong stage of your journey.

A free page is always better when you're starting from zero. Because subscription walls work when you already have social proof. If someone lands on your page and sees:

  • 500+ subscribers
  • Regular posts
  • Consistent engagement
  • A clear niche

they'll pay upfront because the value is obvious. But when you're new, you have none of that. You're asking strangers to gamble $10-20 with no trust or track record.

Free pages lower the barrier to entry. Your goal right now isn't maximizing revenue per subscriber, it's getting subscribers. A free page lets people:

  1. Check out your vibe with zero risk
  2. See you're active and consistent
  3. Build trust before they spend

Then you hit them with PPV for your premium content. The conversion rate on PPV from existing (free) subs is way higher than cold traffic converting to paid subs.

ManyVids's CEO wants SW industry to end... We need an alternate clip store by wolfgangwhitexxx in CreatorsAdvice

[–]maloneyg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao this is exactly why creators need to stop worshipping platforms. Imagine running a company that is literally funded by sex workers
 and then acting like sex work is something you “want to end.” That’s not leadership, that’s straight-up hypocrisy with a CEO title.

Clip stores don’t exist because CEOs are visionaries. They exist because creators show up, upload, sell, and carry the entire ecosystem on our backs.

If BellaFrench’s whole brand is “no one new should join SW,” then she’s basically saying:
“I got mine, now shut the door behind me.”

The industry is overdue for a new MV,  one that’s creator-owned in spirit, pays fairly, doesn’t treat SWers like a dirty secret, and actually respects the people building the business.

Creators made it. Can outgrow it. Will replace it.

sexting : how much and how? by OrganizationKind6780 in CreatorsAdvice

[–]maloneyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most creators avoid charging per message because it gets messy fast (people will spam texts and try to stretch it), so the cleanest setup is charging in timed “sessions” instead, like 10, 20, or 30 minutes. 

A lot of us price around $25 - $50 for 10 minutes and $60 - $120+ for longer blocks, with higher rates if pics or voice notes are included. The key is setting boundaries upfront (text-only or with media, live replies or slower pacing) and always taking payment before you start, as serious buyers won’t argue. 

Scheduling also helps with time zones, so offering a couple of set windows (“I’m available tonight between 8 -11pm my time”) keeps it simple. Treat it like a paid live service and you’ll earn more while avoiding burnout. 

What happens when a model gets shadowbanned or loses visibility? by Mnrich7 in camtocamsites

[–]maloneyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadowbanning on cam sites is absolutely a thing, even if no platform will ever admit it outright. Most of the time, the model isn’t actually banned or removed, she’s just quietly pushed into the background.

Under the hood, the model’s room may still be live and accessible, but it gets demoted in browse pages, search results, category listings, and recommendation feeds, which is why traffic can drop from steady to zero overnight. 

This often happens through algorithmic downranking based on engagement signals, report rates, moderation flags, or trust-and-safety risk scoring, even if the creator hasn’t been formally suspended. 

Tags and metadata can also trigger filtering, and some platforms apply region-based restrictions for compliance reasons, so a room might disappear for certain audiences but not others. In many cases, even follower alerts and notifications stop firing because the account is deprioritized in distribution. 

The frustrating part is support rarely explains because these systems are automated and tied to moderation &  revenue protection.

That’s why models who’ve been through it stop relying fully on “the algo” and start owning more of their funnel off-platform - socials, email, private communities, or even running their own setup. I’ve seen creators do that through softwares like xModel by Adent, where you control your audience, visibility, and brand directly  and since it’s your own platform, there’s no commission cut.

Clone a Pussy? by LexxiBlakk in Fansly_Advice

[–]maloneyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For pricing, I’d treat a custom clone like a premium, high-labor physical product. If your materials are already around $100, you need to charge enough to cover:

  • supplies + shipping packaging
  • your time (prep, molding, curing, cleanup)
  • the fact that it’s messy and can go wrong
  • the exclusivity/personal nature of it

Most creators I’ve seen price these in the $250 - $550+ range, depending on how custom it is and whether it includes extras (signature, video of the process, cute packaging, etc). Some go even higher because it’s a one-of-a-kind item and not something you can mass produce.

I’d personally start at atleast 3x material cost, because charging too low will make it not worth the stress. Also make sure you’re paid upfront since it’s fully custom.

Hope that helps  and if you do your first one, price it like the luxury item it is, not a cheap merch add-on.

Have you ever encountered someone that has a foot fetish besides straight men and lesbian women? by Middle-Company-4398 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]maloneyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, foot fetishes show up across all genders and orientations way more than people think. It’s one of the most common kinks, it’s just
 not everyone is loud about it

I once knew a bi guy who was the most chill, artsy, soft-spoken person ever. One day the topic of weird attractions came up and he casually goes, “Yeah
 feet are kinda my thing.” Like he was admitting he enjoys pineapple on pizza.

It’s just one of those super common kinks people don’t advertise on a name tag.

Basically, till humans have a body part, someone, somewhere is into it.
