TikTok - a thread for how we can utilize it
Mods: Please move this to anywhere more appropriate if necessary...
Hello all,
I know that TT is not an adult platform, but I see many SWs and SPs using it for promotion and marketing, it's mentioned often on here, and saw that we don't have a thread about how it can be best used...
It looks fun! But I'm ancient when it comes to new stuff like this (only just found instagram - and hate it) and would love a few nudges and pointers as to how to use it, what to do to get noticed, how to stay on the correct side of the moderation (eg: obviously no nudity or blatant sexual-ness, but I've heard of cleavage (while fully clothed) being kicked off), banned words, "best" words to use, etc...
I know that things get sorted by popularity (clicks/watches)...and then what?
Also...can you ONLY use your phone to film? Do you film direct onto the site, or do you film onto your device and then upload? Or both?
And...everyone seems to film in portrait, is this a TT rule? Or just a THING that everyone does cos everyone else does it? And WHY?
Any info and advice would be great!

I've seen it work for lots of OF content producers, and is reportedly very good at generating subscriptions. The only thing that keeps me off the platform is how black boxy the algorithm is. I must admit I have not done any research into if it is possible to avoid this but on my standard vanilla browsing account which is on a non work related phone I have seen on my for you page:
- friends and family members (I have find my contacts OFF and have my profile set to not be suggested to others)
- models from camsites that I work on
- People in my immediate vicinity
- People in my town
the privacy setting says that you can only turn this 'account suggestion' on or off, and I guess if it is off you might just end up making content that is never suggested to anyone and if it is on then you might get suggested to people you don't want to. If anyone knows how to use it to generate sales to a more curated audience please let me know!

I rarely use it because I really don't like to use any social media. There is tons of traffic to be had on there though.
Don't tag ANYTHING with "FETISH". Most sexy words are banned from tags or will get you shadow banned. We can not use the words 'onlyfans' or link directly to OF, has to be a linktree or something like that in the bio. I've seen lots of ladies wearing mesh clothing with nipples exposed not getting violations but I have gotten violations for only showing feet in heels. Be careful with toys also I don't think we are allowed to show them although I've seen many models showing floggers, whips, ropes and paddles.
DANCING VIDEOS!!!! OMG dancing clips get TONS of views, or lip-syncing. In a bikini. Pretty sure you don't have to use your phone and can use the website although it is way more hassle that way. Bikini and work out try on clothes get TONS of views too !
Film in portrait because landscape will get cut off and just show a bunch of ugly black bars around your clip.
I think it's like any social media in general. Depends on how you market yourself.
Re: TikTok - a thread for how we can utilize it
I love TIKTOK. I am gaining a fast following on there. Just don't expose yourself. Use coded language and market yourself accordingly. I honestly think it benefits SW's in 2021 to act like a REAL person on social media. TikTok isn't the place to post your link and go. Make cute content that speaks to people and you will get lots of clicks.
The minute I get 10k followers I am signing up for their program where you can make money too.

Oh and if you say you are an "accountant," it's a running joke that you are a SW and people will follow you. :)
You can use terms like "accountant," "SW," and other shortened descriptors.
Re: TikTok - a thread for how we can utilize it
If you're curious about how much you can get away with there are some subreddits that repost sexy tiktoks, so check those out. It seems like a lot of girls act like they're too naive to realize that dancing in dolphin shorts and braless in a cami top could be anything but innocent. I've seen a lot of foot fetish stuff on tiktok. Camsoda has an account.
I've put up a few videos there. It's easy to grow followers there. I don't really feel comfortable with it though because there are no adult content filters and it seems like everyone is so young. I don't want underage followers. I do have old men following me, but I just wish there was an age filter.
Tik tok for cam models???
oK. I know what tik tok is. My question is. Can cam models use it for promo purposees? If there is a thread please forward me to it.
So here's my question? If I make some short ass tic tok movie about me getting ready to go online to xyz.com site..CAN I DO THAT? Can i list my other cam sites? I won't do nudity but some sexy teasing. What are other modesl doing on here?
I'm a newbie.

Re: TikTok - a thread for how we can utilize it
Our absolute best tip for Tik Tok is to keep it PG
We noticed in our testing when uploading content that unfortunately any videos/photos that look anywhere close to a Sex Worker will get removed/banned
Over emphasizing your body parts is a hard "No" for the TikTok community. Yes, some get away with this but they are very hard on Sex Workers in this regard.
You cannot attempt to drive traffic directly to your cam/SW sites. You should stay away from any direct terminology used around sex and profanity to keep your account on TikToks good side.
To solve that, we suggest creating a free Medium page where you can write short Blogs about your Sex Work and advertise that Medium Blog page on your TikTok not your Sex Work directly.
It's all about being tongue in cheek, not overtly sexual in your appearance on that platform and not direct when speaking about adult themes.

It might be harder to drive traffic to camming platforms, as most of them aren’t well known by the general community and people don’t just go and spend money on random websites, due to being afraid of scams.
I find using only well known platforms will result in a decent conversion. Promoting on Tiktok usually brings me a max of 350 people per 1M views for my OF, which everyone knows about it. If I tried marketing my SM account, that would be a fail.
Also, general advice, don’t waste your time marketing for platforms that give you bread crumbles. Camming websites should be able to give you consistent traffic for how much you’re paying them (50% to 70%). Why invest your precious time in promoting them when you’re getting the short stick? Use that effort to build a brand for yourself, where you get the biggest slice of cake. And that comes from a girl that’s been exclusively on SM for over 10y and decided 30% isn’t double in this economy.
When you have anonymous/no face creators that pull 150K per month running their own promotion on multiple social medias, trying to get 20% for every customer you bring on SM is a fucking joke.

Is medium against sw in their terms of use though? If so, it may not be the best platform to use. Both tiktok and the medium can be banned, and all that work goes down the drain. I am aware on non adult platforms we must be more discreet but both can ban if it is assumed at any time for this reason.
Re: TikTok - a thread for how we can utilize it
Nobody cares about followers on Tiktok. We all care about views. You can go viral with 1K followers or 1M followers. There is no such a thing as work going down the drain on Tiktok. I know a girl that has gotten viral with her first clip. More accounts, more chances to get viral. Something will boom at some point, just gotta be consistent with posting. Most of the girls run at least 3-5 accounts, some hustle hardcore with 10-15 accounts. It’s a lot of work, but def worth it.
Just don’t make a bunch of drafts, that’s all. In case you get banned, at least you didn’t invest days in drafting.
