    Girls, I think it's time for me to go full-time domme & fetish. I make about 50% of my money right now from vanilla shows, but often they set off my fatigue disorder, which obviously means less money in the long run.* So... it's time to rebrand.

    Those of you who have done this recently, how did you handle it with your vanilla regs?

    Did you do a curt, "I'm not doing masturbation shows any more" and leave it at that? Or give them a warning to get a few last shows in? Or... what?

    Or maybe just focus on advertising to sub clients, and let vanilla guys fall off gradually?

    *Example: I had two busy days Mon-Tue, and was literally bed bound with fatigue until Friday night.

    That was said in a light hearted way, DWS. But I am really really curious...and it is kind of relevant because if it is something intense the answer is going to be a lot different on how you make the transition.
    Basically anything anything that looks remotely like aerobic exercise, has the potential to drain my energy reserves and set off a crash. Unfortunately, this involves orgasms, both real and fake. (I've tried to learn to fake it without getting my heart rate up, but it's just not convincing.)

    My domme and fetish shows are far more sedate, obviously.

    ETA: You're right that it makes an impact on my transition, as I don't have to ditch the safety blanket of my vanilla PSO characters right away. Hmm.

    I think you can do a combo of vanilla teasing and domme also. I'd put it in your description that you don't offer masturbation, but focus on what you do offer and maybe physical characteristics (I have huge nipples or whatever) and also list off the different things you offer, for example joi, sph, and whatever else. I see a lot of hosts who don't offer masturbation but do nudity and also domination so it doesn't have to be just domme, can be a combo.
    I get a lot of vanilla shows some days where it's just teasing and never get to the masturbation part.

    Some guys will be pissed but there will always be guys who get upset for example when a performer stops offering anal or doesn't have the certain specific fetish item available. Those will fall away eventually and be replaced by customers who want exactly what you are doing.

    I rebranded just recently. I simply changed my name on my cam sites and I started up new social media accounts with the new name. It wasn't a massive deal and I feel like the new name has invigorated me. I was pretty attached to the old one as I did so much research on naming psychology etc when I was choosing it, but times change and what was popular or right fir us once won't always be. It's best to move with the times and make a change when you realise it's needed x

    It really depends if you are going to be in this long term.

    if this is going to be for life then yes it makes sense to protect your name. If its just a name you use on the sites you work and your not really trying to make a big name brand out of it. then I don't think you need to worry about it.

    What gets tricky is when you want to build a website and make a full time performer profile.

    Model name just only on a cam site is a lot different then you using the name everywhere and you building a complete identity around it.

    it takes money to protect a name and to register it and also do a search on it to make sure no one else is using the name as well.

    For a brief moment I wanted to be Minnie Appleton. because I like the liquor, apple computers said something different, then the name got changed to minnie holly. It was just for the website , even now I still made bad business choices and my legal ownership of that name isn't even mine.

    Now with let me figure out what I am doing for my business I need to set aside money to register my name protect it and also figure out how I can handle taxes under my performer name, which means business registration locally, then hire a lawyer for the bigger stuff.

    it really depends on your game plan for the name and how you want it to become its own identity. There are a lot of choices out there.

    I've noticed a few of us who've been at this 4+ years seem to be doing similar right now. A lot changes in that time x

    Bumping this.

    I have been thinking of rebranding for a bit- one name change- because when I chose my performer name I didn't put as much thought into it as I should have. Then the type of shows I offer- I don't enjoy doing some of the hardcore stuff in the past. I bundled up videos and discounted the bundle on MV, so far no biters, but I want to retire them completely or put them on exclusively on MC for members only. Still not sure about that.

    The direction I want to move more into is femdom and fetish- so far I have come up with the name KathrynKink.

    Just not sure if that truly represents the direction I want to move in. Any suggestions for coming up with a performer name?

    When I thought of my current performer name, I thought of names that I would prefer to have been named at birth or names I feel suite me better. I thought, if I could be anybody else, who would I be and what would I want to be called? I chose a name that makes me feel bubbly and happy whenever I hear it and that allows me to feel the best whenever I stream. I know it isn't much but I hope it helps
