Get subscribers to your fans page

Are you a creator stuggling to get subscribers to your fans page? It’s time to join the platform that brings the fans to you!

Do you spend hours every week making content, uploading to your page and promoting on social media? If yes, read on…

From experience, I know creating content and building a fans page can take a lot of time out of your day.

Once you have it all made, it looks amazing!

You’re proud of it and want to show it off. People may look, but do they commit? You need to get subscribers.

Sure, you can try shouting about it on Instagram, X, TikTok and other social media channels.

That’s great!… If you have 1M followers on those platforms.

Even at that level, it is a numbers game. Followers can be flaky, even invisible.

The vast majority of social media followers are not willing or able to pay to see content. Many are not even genuine accounts.

Out of those social followers who are genuine and understand what its all about, some will join for a snoop.

They’ll sub’ one time for a month to see what’s on offer, then don’t bother to renew.

Winning fans’ pledges for monthly subs is the arduous part of building a successful fans page.

Without getting monthly commitment, it barely seems worth the hassle. You end up feeling undervalued for your time and effort.

Many models attempt to get subscribers to their fans page by offering it subscription free. They will put a certain amount as free to view and the “good” stuff behind paywalls.

That is a smart strategy, providing fans are good quality and have the funds (or the desire) to pay to unlock the good stuff. And when they join for free, then don’t spend, this only advances the headache.

If this scenario sounds tediously familiar, you are in the same boat as the vast majority who have the same dream as you.

That dream is, to make thousands of pounds selling content on a subcription-based fans page.

How creator sites work

If you’re one who’s already dived in thinking it’s easy making money from a fans page, I’m sorry you have learnt the hard way.

You will have been told to promote, promote, promote on social media. This is because generally, creator sites have no traffic of their own, therefore are unable to send subscribers to your fans page.

Creator sites provide the framework on which creators host their fan pages. They’re packed with all sorts of neat features which creators can use as tools for selling content.

How they make their money, is they drive creators to bring them the fans. They ean their commission for the privilege of creators bringing the business to them.

These sites ultimately rely on influencers and celebrities to fund a vast percentage of fans payments to their site. Big name creators advertise their fans pages which raises greater awareness of the brand.

As a result the creator sites gain member signups along with more creators, who then bring them more member signups and attract more creators. It is a very clever business model.

Unfortunately, those members signups brought in by influencer creators do not benefit the unknown creator who starts at the bottom.

Newbies have have to build their presence by finding their own fans.

It can take years to get to “influencer” level and still, most will never make it. Usually this involves a lucky break.

The bottom line is… if you are not an influencer or celebrity, getting interest for your fans page is a hard hustle. Many individuals soon realise this, and give up.

Now I can see you shrugging your shoulders with a “been there, done it, bought the T-shirt” type sigh.

So it gives me great please to say… “Wait! There is a way!”

You can build a successful fans page and you can find fans willing to pay.

Forget about wasting more time making those cliched “link in bio” posts (yawn) on social media, (the ones very few bother to click are they’re too busy scrolling).

How to get subscribers to your fans page

Join the platfrom that brings the fans to you!

Being a successful creator is not just about creating high quality content. It is about being a great salesperson too.

We know that face-to-face marketing works, as people buy from people.

Annabelle

Do these things:

  1. Join the right platforn (I’ll help you with this at the end of this article).
  2. Position yourself in a live chat scenario and meet your subscribers face to face, online. This way, you directly engage them.
  3. Chat, let them get to know the face behind the photos. Be personable and charm them.
  4. Unleash your powers of persuasion by upselling your fans page – simply, talk about what’s on offer there.
  5. Offer them a joining gift or incentive such as an introductory discount. Alternatively, offer a free personalised photoset or short welcome tease video.
  6. Offer their incentive on-the-spot (like a flash sale) if they instantly subscribe.
  7. Once they’re in your page, do your great customer service. Message them on the day they join to connect in chat and arrange their welcome gift.

Why this works

When you meet your potential subscribers face to face on a chat-based platform, the numbers game has greater odds.

This is because the fans you chat with are registered network members, with billing in place.

These are not the same social media ghosts who lurk on Instagram and never like or comment, let alone click that link in the bio.

These network members already spend money. They engage in live chat, tip models and do private shows (which you too can benefit from). They buy media content and customs.

All you need to do once you’ve got their attention is point out the “click to buy” button in your chat room.

They do not need a seperate signup.

Just one click and they are on your fans page.

Another click and they’ve subscribed.

Piece of cake!

Ongoing commitment

Once you have your fans, you need to work smart to keep them on board. This is very important, otherwise they may get complacent.

Annabelle

Do these things:

  1. Add a piece of high quality, high definition content daily, or as a minimum five days per week. This can be an HD video, a photoset (make sure the lighting is great), some POV snaps (make sure these are clear definition), or an audio message, for example.
  2. Message with your subscribed fans often to keep them engaged and returning to your page every day, hungry to see more of you.
  3. Offer them custom content packages on photosets, videos and audio content. This way you will build a strong and personal relationship with your fans.
  4. If they drop away, offer them a rejoining incentive with a % discount to win back their business.

Also, I want to tell you that on this platform, you get 80% payout of everything your fans spend on the content you create for your fans page!

Finally you have a platform that brings the fans to you!

The importance of followers

The importance of followers, explained.

Build a strong presence and make money as a cam model by tuning in to your following. Here’s how…

You are newly registered to a cam site and have spent time setting up your profile. You’re all set with your equipment, outfits and toys; excited, ready to jump on and make lots of money.

It’s that easy!

Or is it….?

We all know money is the #1 motivator for cam models, but it should not be the sole focus, especially in the early days.

The truth is, it can be difficult to earn money consistently on cam until you seek out your supporters, who become your online fan club.

Your supporters are your darling followers. Concentrate on gaining them, which means winning them over and getting them to ‘follow’ or ‘favourite’ you on your cam site. This way they help you become established.

Any cam model can do this, providing they are patient and persistent going online regularly. Gaining a base of great followers takes weeks, months, even a year or two to establish.

So… be under no illusions, this will not be an overnight success.

Followers on cam sites do a number of things for you. They enable you to build your success on cam and make money on a continual basis. Followers help you in these ways:

1. Profile presence! You gain a profile presence, providing popularity which looks good to new potential followers when they view your profile offline.

2. Room presence! You gain a room presence when you are online, making your chat room appear well subscribed and desirable for others to join.

3. Rapport! They get to know you, build rapport with you and be your fan club for the long term.

4. Confidence! You gain confidence knowing you have supporters, which is very motivating.

5. Consistency! Knowing your fans are keen to see you every week encourages consistency to a working schedule.

6. Support! They will show support during slow times and have your back if and when others are impolite.

7. Monetize them! Followers are the perfect audience to sell to. You can promote your private shows, content, fan club subscriptions and merchandise.

8. Rating! You can utilise your followers to help you boost your rating. (See bottom paragraph).

Now you understand the importance of followers, you need to know how to get them on board:

1. Be personable! Greet them in a friendly way that makes them want to follow and support you.

2. Be appreciative! Thank them for following and let them know you value their support.

3. Be engaging! Chat and connect, show them you’re great company and they will want to come back.

4. Be receptive! Pay attention to what they say and try to connect on a personal level. Listen and respond to their needs and they’re encouraged to return.

5. Be their dream! Dress and style in an alluring way. This helps them feel attracted. Sex appeal always gains masses of followers, so keep your standards of presentation high!

6. Be original! Make sure your look, persona and shows are interesting or daring enough to stamp the WOW factor! Injecting some creativity helps them stay captivated.

7. Ask them! There’s no shame in asking members to hit the follow. Ask them nicely to do it and blow them a kiss. Make it fun, they love it.

8. Incentivize them! Here’s an idea… you can offer members and incentive such as a free picture or surprise tease if they hit you with a follow and tip an amount you specify!

Most sites have a feature whereby members can elect to be notified when their ‘followed’ or ‘favourited’ models are online.

This may be by email, sms or online notifications when logged in. They may be able to choose one or all options.

Always find out your site’s process for members to follow and elect for notifications.

Familiarise yourself with the process from a member’s standpoint viewing the site.

Do this so you can inform members exactly what to do to follow you when they visit your profile.

Annabelle

The last thing you want is the embarrassment of asking members to follow you, they ask how, then you have to admit you don’t know.

Regular communication with followers is highly beneficial as it strengthens rapport and serves as call to action.

Annabelle

One of the benefits of having followers on your cam model profile is you are able to direct message to keep them updated.

For example you can let them know your schedule and tell them about any special shows or promotions you run.

Tips for effective follower communication:

  • A cheeky DM is a reminder you’re due online and reminds them to come and spend their money!
  • A frequency of once a week is a happy medium to send out a broadcast to your followers.
  • Don’t spam or be too persistent, as this risks them unfollowing.
  • For any fans who wish to DM chat regularly, monetize this via your cam site. Set a price per message or a monthly charge for DM chat. This ensures your time is respected.
  • Bear in mind: communications through the cam also site offers protection if anybody makes you feel uncomfortable.

Every cam model should strive to be a top rated cam model. This helps with profile, presence, reputation and brand building in the industry.

Generally, higher rated models enjoy benefits like better placement or feature, greater interest from members and higher earning potential.

Annabelle

Most sites have an option for members to vote on or rate models. Check out your site’s ratings feature and make sure you understand how this works so you can use to your benefit.

Following and ratings, in an ideal world, should work hand in hand. Fans who follow or favourite cam models should be encouraged to rate them, too.

Ratings may be in the form or upvoting (thumbs up) along with a percentage, or rating in stars our of five, for example.

Not every member will be aware of the process so explain how this works. Tell them how much it means to you if they help boost your rating.

Now you understand the importance of followers, and the importance of being online to enable them to monetize your time!

A solid fan base combined with a high rating will help you to build a strong presence and ultimately work towards positioning you as a top model!

The long term gain is you maximise on the income potential that’s available to you.
