Good Evening and Happy Thursday! So the good news is I just won BINGO. Now no, it wasn't a big game, and there was no money involved, but isn't it funny how games we haven't played in forever can bring that side from so long ago out of us? Anyway, it was a lot of fun.
Also, I have reached a very high point, which is quite encouraging in my project! There has been so much growth, learning, frustration, then more learning, but I have made it. Well, then again, has one ever really made it? I think each day should be a struggle to get to the next step, whatever it may be - for one to keep pushing themselves.
You see, put yourself in my shoes, but of course, in a different context. Imagine how amazing it would be if you could create an OnlyFans, and then show naughty pictures of your dick, your ass, or just enough of your face so the watching at home know you're a hottie. Imagine if you could make money every time you got off - how people would be sitting on the edge of their chair waiting to see you bring yourself to a blissful and orgasmic release - wouldn't it be crazy hot? All these women wanting your attention, wanting you to rate their pussy, their tits or their ass - fuck, you should be so lucky.
Would you be able to keep up? Would you be able to keep track of Tina, Cindy, Raven, or was it Candy? Would you remember to message Wanda when your next swimsuit try on video came out - because you know she just can't get enough of that body of yours! Would you be able to handle or even have the time to jump from sexting session to sexting session messaging random sluts who want that thick, big dick of yours?
I'm sure you would! Though eventually, you might forget to message Tiffany, or wish sweet Sara a Happy 21st. And how could you? After all she spent on that custom she had you make, you know that one of you rubbing chocolate sauce on your body as you told her what a very, very naughty girl she was - just terrible.
The thing is, if you are like me, while I have a great memory, I do forget, and the things I should do, I sometimes fail to do - at least much more than I wish to do! In fact, I don't like failing at all, if you haven't figured that out about me. So that's why I am so happy to have my friend Python. You see, what I learned, is while Excel is special, it can only do so much - it is true. Sure you can start to mix formulas between sheets or even other spreadsheets, but in time, it slows down, way down, and before you know it, when this value changed that shouldn't have changed, well - it gets complicated and crazy, all at the same time.
The lesson I've learned is it is best to not take shortcuts. That it is best to do one thing at a time, do it well, do it right and do it until it is finished, and then move on to the next. Also, that if you're doing something new, that you've never done, you're going to mess up. Like I told you, two steps forward, and several back - it is a back-and-forth process, but it is so rewarding. Where I am today, I've set myself up for smiles for the journey ahead.
You really would have no idea how much "administrative" effort and time goes into being a content creator - at least one who has any desire for success. Think about me, if you were running the bar, your OnlyFans, how would you keep up with all those who have bought drink - all the good conversations, all the names that were shared, etc. etc. But again, having gone back in time, all the way to the very beginning, I now have so much that is now known, at my fingertips.
The other day I posted names, names of those who have significantly made large contributions to my erotica, my craft, to me. It was my way of saying thank you, and I realize, much in a small way. Though do know, for those who have stepped up to the bar, to those who have bought a drink - thank you. While your name may not have been listed, those who have bought and seen my almost repetitive and laughable at times thank you messages - do know it is from the heart.
You might not believe this, but most content creators get where they do because of one to two to three to four people. Whales. Whales are wonderful people, so very generous, and I am absolutely grateful for those overly generous gentlemen who have come along and made this into what it has become. Their investment in me gave me the encouragement and the realization that I could actually do something special with this - does that make sense? And to those, like I said, I am ever grateful.
The thing is, though, as special as whales are, I'm just as excited about, those who buy a beverage, or two, or three, because in time, at scale, those individual purchases add up in a big way. You know, it is funny, because when I started out with my craft, each video I sold I sold for $5. Why $5? Well, based on the competition, it seemed like a logical place to start, especially when you are doing so in an anonymous way. And what was crazy - it worked, somehow it worked - like people bought, and I was averaging like 30 video sales a day - which is cool. Like imagine glancing at your phone and seeing someone buying that video of you getting off in the shower - absolutely insane.
Now in time of course, I raised prices, because, well, I was putting a tremendous amount of time into editing, and with so many telling me that I was pricing my videos too low I said, "why not?" And for awhile, it worked, and obviously, things continued to go well, but the thing is, when gas is expensive, when eggs are expensive, with inflation - people, not all people, but a lot of people are hurting. I've had many that have told me that they have lost their job and they are sad they can no longer buy like they used to - do you want to know what I tell them? Don't worry about me - take care of yourself.
While I'm not immune from the strain of an economy going in the wrong direction, do know, that because of my "model" there are many others, buying one beverage at a time, who continue to support the neighborhood bar and make it all worth the while. If you haven't figured out, I'm not here to manipulate, twist or pressure. I'm here to be naughty, be good, and make money, but in a way where I can still look in the mirror and like what I see at the end of each day.
So yeah, $5 is the model going forward. To those who bought at a higher price, I hope you don't feel cheated. I mean, no one likes when they pay full price at the store only to see next week the item they purchased is on the clearance rack! LoL
The other thing, if you noticed, I don't do sales - I think honestly it looks cheap (50% through Thursday - hurry now!). But yeah, for the foreseeable future, I am back to the $5 model. What else? I don't know. I'm sure there's something, but I think it is time I go for a walk...
Though in the meantime, here's to you, to me, and to a happy beautiful tomorrow...
XoXo,
KS
