we have to market it all ourselves

May I ask how exactly OF works? Do you get organic traffic from the site or do you have to generate all your own traffic from marketing on other sites and socials? I’m curious what their SEO setup is. If they just leave the creators with no support

No links or promotional material for users while on site? i.e. Check out so and so, most popular member of the day.
Seems so fiat to not support anything but demand a cut of the revenue
nope nothing ! i think fansly is the same
and. yeah thats what happens when someone decides that sex is too dirty to sell like. we’re left with a buncha people taking a cut for nothing or essentially nothing
If you are doing your own marketing, using bitcoin for payments, and hosting is cheap then why do you need OF? I don’t know their fee structure so maybe it’s less expensive but I wouldn’t think so. I always assumed OF worked because of traffic generation, like you can sell shoes online anywhere but the eyeballs are on eBay.
I think OF is the main selling platform because buyers are there specifically to buy so we're able to do our jobs somewhat efficiently. Whereas on other socials we're often fighting to exist alongside trying to sell, so we tend to try to balance socials and OF to get the best of both worlds
brand recognition by clients builds trust, lotta non-bitcoiners, site is already built. lotta my money comes from custom videos etc not subscriptions so just uploading is a bit different
OF takes a flat 20% fee
Ok so the eBay effect. Thank you all for the information. I was curious how it worked because I don’t recall ever seeing a ad or promotion online for individuals.
Not to mention that having such a large site makes it more likely that customers would trust them with payment information than if a single worker had their own site.
People forget that the masses trust centralised services with payments much more readily than individuals.
There is also technical knowledge needed to run a site that some creators won’t be interested in handling
There is internal marketing too with the suggestion box.. it’s just not very good
