Hey everyone, I know some people here run their own subreddits and I’m looking for tips. On my actual promo Reddit, I have 27k followers on my user and 18k subs on my subreddit. I haven’t used Reddit to promote in over 4 years, and while I know a lot has changed since then (like making posts on your profile not appear to help funnel to OF) I’m wondering what’s changed in terms of running the personal subreddit goes?

I used to use my subreddit to post on first and then cross post to different promotional subreddits, but it looks like that method isn’t really around anymore from the subreddits I’ve seen. I also don’t know the best way to run / clean up my own subreddit, as there’s years of posts on it, it’s definitely a free “spank bank” if someone so wanted. Is there a way to private posts on the subreddit the same way you can on the profile? Should I keep posting to my subreddit and look for subs I can cross post my posts to, or should I just do everything on my user only and post directly to promotional subs from now on? Is it better to just clear out my subreddit, and use it for announcements, or maybe just leave it alone as a archived library that can work as a promotional channel to get an idea of what I’ve done in the past?

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you!!

Edit: Apparently seller Reddit accounts are getting banned for no reason? I haven’t started posting again yet but I’m scared as I just lost my Snapchat a few months ago and that lost me my biggest platform, if I lose my Reddit I’ll truly lose everything. Any advice on how to keep the account safe as well as how to run it is greatly appreciated 😭 TIA!!

Basically the title. I’m trying to find the safest app that I can record videos on that has good filters for the face, I personally like ones with freckles and blush and I have many fans that like the freckled look on me. (I know I can do makeup freckles but the filters add more like skin smoothing and a consistent pattern) I used to record everything on Snapchat with one of their freckle filters but now that I’m snap banned I can’t do that anymore and I don’t wanna try to record content on something like TikTok or instagram and get banned as I don’t know how strict those platforms are with this kind of thing. Does anyone have a favorite platform to record on with filters that they’ve found safe? Or can anyone say that recording on TikTok/Instagram and immediately saving and deleting the content and not posting it is safe?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to figure out how to market myself. I have a Reddit account I’ve taken a 4 year break from posting from that has 27k followers and 18k followers in my subreddit, but I’ve found that Reddit is very different than it used to be an so am I.

When I used to post here, it was from 18 to 21, and I was in college at the time, so it was very easy to market myself as “barely legal” or the “sexy college student next door”; but now that I’m 25 I don’t feel I fit as cleanly into those niches despite not looking much older, and many of the subreddits I used to post in and get buyers in and even were verified in have completely changed their rules to not allow sellers whatsoever, so now I’m even more adrift. My posts were also on the standard side, I’m a pretty “average” porn star build given that I’m petite with large perky breasts for my frame (5 ft, 115 pounds, 32 DD, small but plump butt) and it’s difficult to find ways for me to stand out against other creators with similar builds that have more concrete niches like anal, milf, goth, or feet. When I used to post, I’d say my Niches were Barely Legal, College Girl, Girl Next Door, Nerd (I wear glasses) Outdoor flashes and B/G content as well as solo content.

Now the only thing that’s still true out of all of those is that I can still pass for a nerd with my glasses haha. I’m too old to be barely legal, I’m not in college anymore and even if I was I’m not sure if I still fit into the college girl niche, I don’t do outdoor flashes anymore as I moved to a very recognizable city and I don’t want my safety compromised, and I don’t do B/G content anymore as my current partner doesn’t film with me. None of my features I think are “large” enough to stand out enough to be my main marketing feature either, since again it’s all pretty average, so I’m struggling there. Most of my current content is me wearing something sexy, stripping it off and masturbating using a vibrator without inserting, as I’ve made comfort my #1 priority this time around instead of always pushing myself to do things I was uncomfortable with (such as anal play, using large dildos that would hurt me, doing cheating roleplay content because they were never happy with who I was filming with, etc) but I fear in doing so I won’t be able to find my niche and what makes me unique.

In real life I’m Audhd, I’m a home body, I don’t go out much or have many friends. I collect dolls, am very into fashion, love pink and rhinestones, and I love cartoons to the point where I watch video breakdowns on them all day. I’m a nerd… but I’m a very feminine and almost childish nerd, so I’m struggling to figure out what my niche/audience would be if I’m being myself but also trying to sell content to men. I also don’t wanna end up catering to anyone who is in the DDLG community, I did it before when I first started and while it seems like a easy fit at first it always gets to a point where I get uncomfortable and feel the need to draw the line and say I don’t age regress into a child, I just am an adult who likes to buy collector dolls lol.

I think ideally I’d like my niche to be bratty spoiled princess. I have a bit of a praise kink so I love being praised and worshipped, but I’m also a big people pleaser so I struggle with things like financial domination, especially because in my experience you have to get SO mean on the spot that’s it’s not something I can just like do on command during a livestream, video call, or sexting. I can like, be pouty and stomp my feet cutely when demanding my way, but I’m not gonna curse someone out like crazy every time we interact. It’s also hard to find anything on this kind of niche that isn’t either findom or DDLG, as I don’t really fit into either.

Any advice is super appreciated on this topic, I’d love to hear how you get around these issues if you yourself are a bit vanilla 😋.

TL;DR: I lost my 22.1k Snapchat followers, 200+ paying buyers, after relying almost entirely on Snapchat as my sales funnel. I do have an old Reddit with ~27k followers, but it’s tied to a posting method I no longer use (free nudes to as many subs as possible, B/G content, unedited low quality content) and I don’t wanna do that anymore so I’m debating whether to rebuild that brand or start completely fresh. I’m now trying to figure out if I should try to rebuild what I already had or if I should start over with a clean slate and fresh branding. If you’ve successfully rebuilt after losing one of your main platforms, I’d especially love advice on keeping vs changing your brand, transferring an old audience vs starting over, which platforms/traffic sources are worth prioritizing today, and the biggest mistakes you’d avoid if you could start over.

I’m posting this from a throwaway account because I don’t know if I want to use my old Reddit account and alert my fans that I’m getting active again, but I am willing to verify by any means necessary to prove that I am in fact a former/coming back content creator.

Hello everyone! I’m looking for advice from creators who have successfully rebuilt after losing a major platform/audience. I had 22.1k followers on Snapchat and over 200 paying buyers with years of buying history. Snapchat was essentially my entire sales funnel, my audience was loyal, high paying, and I did very well there. Unfortunately, I was permanently banned this weekend and I lost access to everything, including buyers I had just been working with. I learned a lesson the hard way that many people post here on this sub, NEVER build your entire business on one platform, especially Snapchat. I also learned the hard way that I wasn’t properly backing up my content. I thought that because my account was older I wouldn’t get in trouble, but I was wrong. I lost years of photos and videos that were only stored on Snapchat, so I’m now moving everything to external storage and building an actual physical backup system, as well as finding a new app with filters to record on.

The frustrating part is that I do have another established audience. My Reddit has around 27k followers, but I intentionally stopped promoting it years ago. My old Reddit strategy relied heavily on free nude content, and I eventually felt like I was constantly having to give more and more away for free or push myself into riskier content just to convince people to buy (outdoor and cheating content to name a few). After 4 years of doing that (2019-2022), I quit to focus on college and my mental health. After a few years away and some new diagnosises, I eventually came back to sex work with a completely different mindset and much stronger sense of self and self worth. I wanted to be more intentional about my brand, my boundaries, and the quality of my content. That’s when I started posting on my Snapchat again. And then Snapchat disappeared overnight. 😭

Now I’m stuck between rebuilding what I had or starting over fresh with a clean slate. On one hand, I would like to start over with a new name and identity because I have a lot of old content I’m no longer proud of. When I started at 18, I used a username and accounts that were connected to my real life identity (not my real name, but it was a username I used on basically every account I ever made on my own before starting sex work, so everyone in my real life knew) posted low quality/unpolished/unedited content, and made a lot of decisions that I wouldn’t make today at 25. I also used to do B/G content, which I no longer do and have no current interest in returning to, and I know that Reddit has only gotten more difficult to promote on over time by reading some of the posts on this sub. But I’m the other hand, I know I have something valuable:a recognizable brand name,loyal buyers, a genuine love for this work that keeps me coming back, and skills that only come from years of experience.

Right now I’m considering rebuilding across a few platforms, but things are very different from when I quit 4 years ago so I’m not sure what the best method is. I’ve been namely looking at Fansly, Playboy Club, Hidden and Stripchat for the paid content and Telegram, Instagram, TikTok as more of a sales funnel for reach, direct messages, and daily updates/teases. I’ve also considered reviving my old OnlyFans, especially since I have fans with their rebill on there and they accidentally got charged recently when I responded to a message asking about my Snapchat ban, so it’s the first time my account was “active” in years and many people got charged that rebill. But onlyfans has price limits that are too low with my current prices, as I used to charge $60 a month for my premium snap for 3-5 nude posts a day as well as customs that easily passed $100, and I’m unsure if I should just post less on my OF or just continue to leave the platform alone. I’m honestly overwhelmed by the number of choices and don’t want to make the same mistake of putting too much into one platform or giving away too much content for free or underpricing/overpricing myself and regretting it later on. So here’s a list of questions for anyone who has the experience and is willing to answer:

If you lost your biggest platform and had to rebuild, would you keep your existing name/brand or start completely fresh? Especially if said brand was similar to your real identity?

If you had an existing audience but wanted to raise the quality of your brand and leave your old content behind, would you try to migrate that audience or treat it as a true rebrand and start from scratch?

What platforms or traffic sources would you prioritize right now if you had no following, and which ones would you not waste time on?

What is the biggest mistake you made when rebuilding that you wish someone had warned you about?

If you could start all over again today, what would you do differently and why?

I’m especially interested in hearing from creators who have gone from losing everything and coming back even better than before, because I truly do believe that my content is higher quality and as such my comeback should theoretically be even better than my original run. Any advice and feedback is greatly appreciated, thank you for taking the time to read this giant wall of text lol!

I had my account for 12 years, and I’ll be honest and say my memories were full of both personal memories as well as tons of sexual things since I like Snapchats camera, and I used to be a seller and record all my stuff on Snapchat. I’ve shared before, but only with consenting adults. I don’t share with everyone though and the people I don’t share with have been reporting my account, I got around 4 reports over the last 4 months, 2 back to back, and then Saturday around 12:30 am I got permabanned after posting a sexy bra picture. I’m not really sure what to do… I know I broke the rules, having sexual stuff in my memories, sharing it, I’m not sure if my story post crossed the line 100% as I’ve posted stuff like it before but I’m not sure. I tried making another Snapchat account, but I was a little famous on snap at my time of the ban (22.1k followers, 700k+ snaps) so whenever I try to make a backup account it floods with people and Snapchat marks me as spam and permabans me.

I haven’t written the appeal to Snapchat yet, I’m not sure if I should, and I’m definitely not sure what I should say. Should I even bother trying to get it back? Or should I just cut my losses and take it as a lesson learned? Also is there anyway for me to get my memories back?
