    Default How to work FetLife to your financial advantage...?

    I do like FL as a meeting place/fetish Facebook for like-minded peeps, but of course I would love to use it for making extra cash, like the other social media out there.

    So has anyone had any success in marketing themselves on there? If so, can you share some tips please?

    Thanks

    I would also like to see if anyone else had any good leads from here, I made a profile with my webcam name and even mentioned I am a webcam girl and joined as many groups as possible including the webcam girls group but all I've gotten is local guys wanting to meet up to whom I never respond to. I have thought about buying a spot to advertise but it's a bit pricey . I know you aren't allowed to put any referral links

    Honesty don't waste alot of time on there looking for clients. Most of the men there are looking to get their kinks for free. If you mention you're in the biz you're likely to be named "another whore here for money".

    I only spend downtime there and if someone messages you " A guy" do not discuss any kink shit with him unless you're looking to play with him for free.

    If you're a ProDomme you can advertise it in certain locations but again you're likely to get the time wasters that despise any dominant female for making money with kink.

    Don't let this stop you. I still suggest making a profile and putting up links but 99.9% of the financial submissives that contact you will be fakes or the ones that want to meet you in person for the chance at $10. lol. I'm not kidding.

    I will say that every once in a while I'll have someone trickle in from fet but worse is when someone from a camsite trickles back to fet. Your inbox will be full of their kink crap that they obviously don't want to pay for on the site they found you on. Just don't respond back. Let them once again locate you in $$$ cash arenas.

    It's really not a great place for marketing. There are a "few" groups that might be good for advertising but cherryblossom is right most of the people there are active in the BDSM or some form of alternative lifestyle and they are there to find people to play with for free. I'm an active member of the BDSM lifestyle so I have a personal profile there but it happens to match my cam persona and I usually throw up a link when I'm camming or something like that but other than that I don't try and make money off of Fet.

    I've personally found Fetlife useless for marketing.

    I think it's useless for marketing, but it can be a research goldmine! When looking into new fetishes to film, I go through the related groups and threads as a starting point. The people there are so descriptive about what they like and why they like it.

    Right off the bat it says that they pretty much share pics, videos and content with each other. Freeloaders looking to get their kink on.

    No luck with FL. It's a community site, good for reading info on the forums if you're interested in reading up about fetishes but not for promoting yourself.

    CollarSpace is personal ads and lots of guys who want "online only" lol. Try collarspace.

    Collarspace for me just produced 1000s of messages from 100s of guys looking to hook up for free. Perhaps I need to learn how to work that rather than FL

    When you work, put in the time, remember to let it go if it doesn't convert. Time is money. You can't keep wasting time in a venue that doesn't convert into sales.

    Better off posting pics in fetish gear & using the appropriate hashtags on twitter & tumblr, rather than slogging through lots of emails & messages.

    Then when you cam, finding the kind of guys who pay big money will eventually come to you.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    While Fetlife is not great for marketing, I have found it, as well as the kink community IRL very supportive of sex work and sex workers. So that's a good place to make friends with fellow sex workers, although probably not as much as on SW.

    I don't really consider those looking for their "kinks for free" to be "freeloaders." Sex is free most of the time, for most people.

    Don't call me BB...I'm not the prime minister of Israel!

    ssst

    If you are into that kind of lifestyle, join it, be apart of it. To mine it to make money, goes against the culture of that site. It is about sharing like minded interest.

    Sex is NOT free most of the time. There is always a price to pay, emotionally, physically or even financially. Wasting time trying to get people to spend money on you when they never will does cost you financially. They know you want money, yet have no problem sending endless emails wasting your time & thus money. They are topping from the bottom, playing you instead of you playing them.

    Daily, I have men offer to be my slaves. I block. Slaves take up endless amounts of time & never spend a dime. In fact, they want to live with me, serve me. Which means NO RESPONSIBILITY for themselves. I would have to support them. They are losers looking for free life. What they do manage to do, they fuck up on purpose so you will beat them more & not trust them to do it the right way. Adding even more so to your work load. Slaves offer to give, in reality all they do is TAKE!

    Be apart of it if you are into it for kicks & love it. Mine it for money is pointless. If communicating for hours upon hours about kinky stuff for free works for you, then go for it. Go into it knowing what you want & have realistic expectations.

    I only use it for networking with photographers in the biz and private collectors. I use a different name on there, since I want to separate the two. I put in my about me that I'm not interesting in playing, meeting people, and acquiring new slaves. This of course introduced me to the shitbags that try to get me to do shoots for free for my and their portfolios. *rolls eyes* I don't share my portfolio with just anyone. They have to prove they are legit and I need model references. You wouldn't believe the fake accounts people make just to try and prove themselves. I actually had some models call me or skype with me if the same photos pop up a bunch in Google Image search.


    Most of FL is filled with dudes who are trying to hook up, dudes with cameras, and needy ass slaves that I have no time for.



    So glad CollarMe is gone. That site was worthless.

    There are lots of freeloaders for sure. I did it last year and I made ~$500 just hustling guys on there. I make it clear in my profile that I'm only there for online, and if they don't want to pay they get blocked.
