Premium Platform Exclusivity Offers a Big Advantage

Premium Platform Exclusivity Offers a Big Advantage

Coming from the social media world, specifically Instagram, and not having a background in adult or camming, I was looking to successfully transition from being an exotic dancer into becoming an entrepreneur who monetizes my premium content.

I tried several fan platforms, but I did not have the greatest experience or much success. I definitely received a lot of, what I consider today, bad advice from many people. While I am sure they meant well, they were giving me misinformation.

I am not the type of person who wants to log in to five different sites and lose all my time trying to manage multiple platforms.

There seems to be this trend of so many models diluting themselves by attempting to manage multiple platforms and share the same content in multiple places. This definitely confuses the fans. I mean, real talk, people can find content anywhere. What they are really paying for is an experience, which my fans  get from me directly on IsMyGirl.com. Many of my fans tell me that they are glad that I have all my content exclusively in one place and that they actually can connect with me rather than just buy content I am posting around.

I have 10 different ways to make money from my model dashboard, yet my fans only have to click one link to follow my content feed, DM with me, access my premium videos, receive private video messages, tip me, live stream with me, fan cam with me and much more. The home page also has millions of monthly visitors so I get tons of signups from fans that discover me everyday!

Fan platforms typically leave you alone to market yourself with your own link. I make way more money where I am, because the platform shares my profile on their social media to millions of their own followers, so it actually brings me new fans instead of me marketing to only my own fans. They also include me and so many other models in their newsletter e-mail blast to help us to get new followers and video sales.

I really feel that I have business partners with the team, because they are always looking for a new way for me to make more money by working smarter, not harder. For example, all my premium videos can be accessed through my model profile, but are also available in the public sections of the site itself, which brings me more sales and new fans every day.

All I can say is that joining my chosen platform is the single best business decision I have ever made for myself and I could not be happier. My goal was to gain financial independence and make my own money my own way. What I can share with other models who may be considering joining the model community, is that you can get way more out of this than you can imagine!

This has changed me for the better, because it made me my own boss. In my personal life, my aura has been so much cleaner since and I really feel like I have a work family — I never thought I’d say something like that. I like that I can be myself, set my own boundaries and rules, and whenever I’m faced with a problem, someone is ready to protect my rights and content from being misused.

I work in the comfort of my home, and as a former dancer, this is a relief. I can make a living without ever having to feel threatened or scared in my setting. If it wasn’t for this independent opportunity, I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in or have the mindset that I have.

I should add that in addition to helping me reach my financial goals, my platform has given me the opportunity to shoot with amazing photographers, travel to conventions to meet my fans, attend amazing parties and really become part of a lifestyle. Oh, and I don’t dance now, I make money moves!
