**Strategies:**

Below is a list of specific strategies employed by creators to increase their profits.

***Posting paid content***

Most accounts post/send some amount of paid posts throughout their lifetime. It is a natural way to give your fans permanent access to your very best content, and only the worthy ones at that. Unfortunately there can be some downsides. Paid posts must remain permanently available on your page to attract new buyers, clogging up your feed and taking up real estate in your archive. If you have a high subscription price, sending paid posts too frequently may make buyers feel like you aren’t giving them the full value of their membership. 
You can make the whole post, specific attachments, or all text pay-to-view. Make at least one attachment free to allow fans a preview of what they are buying. Describe what buyers will get if they purchase the post. The more descriptive you are, the more likely fans will be tempted to buy. 
If you plan to use paid posts frequently, create a posting schedule for yourself. Your fans will naturally get in the habit of buying on a schedule if you are consistent and reward their loyalty.

How frequently can I do this: Everyday.

Will this annoy my fans: Depends. If you are not providing high quality free content for your subscribers already, they may be annoyed by you asking them to purchase additional content.

Time commitment: A few minutes to make the paid post, plus time needed to create the content.

Profit: Immediate upon purchase. The bigger your audience, the more potential per post. 

***Using PPV messages***

Send messages and charge fans to view them. This strategy has the worst reputation, but your fans will love it if used correctly.

There are 2 separate strategies for using PPV messages.

1. Send media to individual fans you are chatting with, either as part of chatting, or just to offer them some special content you’re not posting on your main page. This includes customs, and can be quite lucrative. This has a low chance of annoying fans as long as you don’t send unsolicited messages. 

2. Send mass PPV messages to every fan, or fans on a specific list. This is a great way to deliver content you don’t want to post directly on your page, HOWEVER it is frequently abused by creators and may annoy all fans that don’t wish to purchase. If you intend to use mass PPV and you are not a free account, make sure to let your fans know what to expect.

How frequently can I do this: 1-2 times a week.

Will this annoy my fans: There is a high probability mass PPV messages will annoy some of your fans. 

Time commitment: Brief plus content creation time.

Profit: Proportional to your following.

***Additional strategy: send half price PPV to your loyal customers only 1-3 times a week. This is a great way to resell old content to new buyers while giving your best and most interested customers a great deal. Everybody wins. 

***Post a picture or video of something healthy you are doing with your OF profits.*** 

Your fans are investing in you, whether it be selfishly or to support you, seeing you taking care of yourself will make them feel good about spending money on you. Try posting a picture of the healthy smoothie you made, or a trip to the gym. Let your fans know you are using their money to improve yourself, and your fans will want to help. Try adding a tip goal to your post to fund a healthy project post, or post on other social media platforms to encourage new users to support your healthy efforts.

How frequently can I do this: Once every 2-4 weeks.

Will this annoy my fans: Highly unlikely.

Time commitment: A few minutes plus the healthy thing.

Profit: varies.

***Customs***

Offer your fans content shot just for them at a higher price. Customs are typically at least twice the price of page content, and often contain personal touches like specific clothes, phrases, or poses that the fan requests. 
It is generally good social hygiene to leave customs private. Unless a fan says it’s okay to post or share elsewhere, assume exclusivity is in the price tag.
It is a good practice to create a release stating what a fan can and can’t do with expensive or sensitive customs.

How frequently can I do this: As often as you have requests.

Will this annoy my fans: Highly unlikely.

Time commitment: Varies, but generally expect to put in a fair amount of work both in attracting the customer and in making the content.

Profit: High.

***Going live***

There are a couple different ways you can profit from going live.

1. You can charge an entry fee to watch your live show. This is the most straightforward way to profit.
2. You can play tip games on your live offering to take off items, preview exclusive content, or showing off a trick for tips.
3. Set an RSVP fundraiser, and don’t do the live show until the goal is reached.
4. Shoot exclusive content from before or after the live session and sell it to fans that want more.
5. Set a tip goal for the whole show, with multiple levels. At each level, take clothes off or perform a trick.

How often can I do this: It’s better to create a consistent schedule than go live as often as possible. Create a realistic schedule that allows you to go live week after week. 1-2 times per week max is what we recommend.

Will this annoy my fans: Not as long as you do what you say you will.

Time commitment: High.

Profit: Varies.

***Customs in special locations***

Going somewhere specific? Offer to take customs for your fans while you’re in a special location like a fancy hotel or a trip to the park. Ask them to pledge a certain tip amount on your post in return for customs of a specific type later. i.e. “I’ll be at a nice hotel today. Tip this post $5 for a topless selfie when I get there, or $10 for a quick video.”
Not only does this strategy give your fans an opportunity for a unique and personal experience, when you deliver in a timely manner it will build trust and good standing with the fans that pledged.

How often can I do this: You can do this as often as you have the opportunity.

Will this annoy my fans: Unlikely.

Time commitment: Only what you get paid for.

Profit: High potential.

***Free stuff, aka, wishlist***

In addition to all the ways you can profit on OF, you can also ask your fans to pay for stuff directly. This could be in the form of paying for food, buying items on your wishlists, or adopting a bill. All these options allow you to circumvent the 20% commission for OF, and taxes. Whenever possible ask fans to pay for things directly rather than sending you money for things.
Always remember to use common sense and safety. Don’t give out your address or any personal account information on any site. 

How often can I do this: Varies by fanbase.

Will this annoy my fans: Only if you are pushy.

Time commitment: Varies.

Profit: High.

***Fundraisers***

When creating a post you are given the option to create a fundraiser and set a goal for that post. Write a description of what you want to do with the collected funds, and offer incentives for contributing to increase contributions. i.e. “I want to travel to this beautiful location and create content. It costs $500. Tip contributions over $25 will receive a 3 image custom set. Tips over $50 will get a video. Every additional $5 adds 5 seconds to the video length. Happy tipping!” (feel free to copy our example)
You can do this for big or small fundraisers. It isn’t required to give a reward, but it increases tips.
You can also use this feature to raise money until you release a free set. i.e. “When we reach this goal I will shoot and release a new set for free on my page.” Or “Contributors to this goal will receive a set in their messages when we reach this goal.”

How often can I do this: It’s best to keep fundraisers for items to a couple per month, but you can have as many set release goals as you like.

Will this annoy my fans: If you repeatedly don’t make your goals your fans will stop contributing. Keep your goals very reasonable, so that rewards will always be sent. 

Time commitment: Generally expect to put in a good amount of time to send out rewards for contributions.

Profit: High.

***Upselling customs***

When a fan orders a custom they are getting the exact content that excites them. But! Imagine if while you were filming their content you got so turned on you filmed extra hot content that just for them as well! 
Create extra content while creating the original custom. After your fan sees the custom and is happy, tell them that you shot some extra hot content. Offer them a good deal on the content, 75% or 50% off, (after all, they’ve already paid you once) this will make your fan feel special and it's a great deal, so they are likely to buy.
You will be most successful with this strategy if you pay close attention to how your fans respond. The key is to get them curious, feeling special, and grateful, all at the same time. This is a winning combination for $$$.

How often can I do this: Every time you get a custom.

Will this annoy my fans: Only if you do it badly.

Time commitment: Small.

Profit: Very High.
