HHBSO 124: I'm Not Here to Impress You · He's Hot but Something's Off...

• 0:02
  Hello and welcome to He's hot, but some things are if you're
• 0:08
  watching the video version of the podcast, which is available
• 0:11
  on my YouTube channel, just Joey T I'm wearing a different hat
• 0:16
  that I have a nice hat that I wear, which is the white one.
• 0:20
  I like wearing white. It's actually one of my favorite
• 0:23
  colours to wear, but I rarely wear white.
• 0:27
  Wow, that is hard to pronounce. I rarely wear white because I
• 0:33
  tend to get clothes dirty, but hats are OK.
• 0:36
  So the white hat I wear if I if I want to look a little nicer
• 0:41
  wearing a hat, but they're actually identical.
• 0:44
  I have two identical baseball caps just in different colors as
• 0:49
  a story as to why, but the white one I wear when I want to look a
• 0:51
  little nicer in a hat and this dark blue one I wear to the gym.
• 0:57
  So but I just thought you know what I never wear this one on
• 1:00
  air so let's try to wear this one.
• 1:03
  You know what The funny thing is I just got a haircut yesterday.
• 1:07
  My hair was getting too long. I know my hair is too long when
• 1:11
  it starts bothering my ears, the hair just like starts grazing
• 1:15
  the top of my ears and it's like very annoying.
• 1:19
  So I went and got a haircut yesterday, but today it's one of
• 1:22
  my stay at home work days. So my hair doesn't look like
• 1:27
  anything. So my hair just to have just to
• 1:32
  have a podcast. Anyways, how you all doing
• 1:35
  today? I don't get to interact with too
• 1:38
  many of you. You know, a podcast is not that
• 1:41
  medium. I do want to say near the end of
• 1:44
  one of the episodes, I said if you wanted a free trial to my
• 1:47
  Patreon, just let me know. You can have it.
• 1:50
  And one of you were listening and you put it down in the
• 1:54
  YouTube comments that you want a free trial to my Patreon and I
• 1:58
  want to give you a free trial to my Patreon.
• 2:00
  But then when I saw your comment, then I realized, oh, I
• 2:05
  can't message people on YouTube. I can't DM you on YouTube
• 2:10
  because YouTube doesn't have that DM functionality as far as
• 2:14
  I can tell. So I reply back to your comment
• 2:16
  to say DM me on Instagram. But it's the way I can give you
• 2:20
  a free trial to my Patreon is I need to send you a link, but
• 2:25
  that link needs to be private and only for you.
• 2:28
  That's if I just post that link on to the public comments, then
• 2:32
  everybody has like the free trial, which is, which is not
• 2:35
  the point. So yeah, I, I left you a
• 2:37
  comment. I replied to your comment on the
• 2:41
  Youtubes. Please DM me on Instagram and
• 2:44
  then via DM, then I can give you a link.
• 2:47
  But yeah, that offers those hands.
• 2:50
  Anyone that would like a free trial to my Patreon, DM me on
• 2:55
  Instagram. That's probably like the best
• 2:58
  way to do it because I need to be able to send you a private
• 3:02
  message with the free trial link.
• 3:04
  So go ahead and do that. It is November, it is another
• 3:07
  month. I know we're like halfway
• 3:08
  through November already. I was at a haircut yesterday,
• 3:11
  getting my haircut and I was chatting to my stylist.
• 3:14
  Then we're just talking about just like, you know, like making
• 3:16
  small talk and stuff. And I said, oh, you know, New
• 3:19
  Year's is only like 6 or 7 weeks away.
• 3:21
  It's like 7 weeks away. New Year's looking in the
• 3:24
  mirror, he's getting my hair. And he just froze when I told
• 3:27
  him that because I just like shocked them and then surprised
• 3:30
  them with like, oh, it's that close to 2026.
• 3:35
  And I wasn't actively thinking about how close we were to New
• 3:39
  Year's because I'm just thinking like, oh, we are actually that
• 3:42
  close. I didn't realize it until the
• 3:44
  words have left my mouth. So it's getting pretty close.
• 3:48
  I'm actually pretty excited because the skin care company
• 3:53
  that I'm working on, we are going to launch later this
• 3:57
  month. So I'm very busy with that.
• 4:01
  I'll do an episode of the podcast where I talk more about
• 4:04
  it once we have to launch so that I'm not talking about in
• 4:09
  detail about vaporware, about something that hasn't launched
• 4:11
  yet. But we should be on schedule in
• 4:13
  a couple of weeks. Like it's like the week before
• 4:16
  Thanksgiving. It's going to be like end of
• 4:18
  next week. It's something I've been working
• 4:21
  a very long time on and I'm eager to like get it out there.
• 4:25
  But like once we have everything in place, then I can talk about
• 4:29
  it in more detail. And the other thing that's been
• 4:33
  great is I'm starting to get, I've gotten a few already
• 4:36
  bookings, the the, you know, me being a travel advisor.
• 4:41
  So that's a side hustle. I would say.
• 4:44
  I don't know if that's going to be like my daily go to for
• 4:48
  income, but gone some bookings already, which is great.
• 4:53
  I haven't had time to really sit down and market that.
• 4:56
  I'm learning so much about marketing and I still feel like
• 4:58
  I know nothing about marketing. I feel like I have so much to
• 5:01
  learn and I haven't even scratched the surface basically.
• 5:06
  But yeah, I'm looking for maybe next year to really kind of give
• 5:11
  them travel advisory business like that push, that marketing
• 5:16
  push that it really deserves to get it out there.
• 5:18
  But I want to like do the skin care thing first, launch that,
• 5:22
  get that going, then I can split a bit more of my time doing the
• 5:28
  travel advisory stuff. And so those are kind of sort of
• 5:33
  going, Oh yeah, we're about to launch this thing.
• 5:35
  So that's exciting. And oh, you know, you start, you
• 5:38
  start the side hustle and you're starting to get some clients and
• 5:41
  that's exciting and that's great as well.
• 5:44
  Something that wasn't great and exciting is the only fans.
• 5:48
  I think you all don't have only fans like the the five of you
• 5:51
  that are listening. I think you all know by now.
• 5:53
  But the only fans I've been doing for like a while and it
• 5:55
  was very much a side hustle. And over like the last two
• 6:00
  years, you know, after I stopped having the nine to five while I
• 6:04
  was building up the other businesses, I've had more time
• 6:06
  to just like also build up only fans as the businesses literally
• 6:09
  is a business. And every so often I'll go into
• 6:12
  my only fans and I want to like shake things up.
• 6:16
  The most fun part for me doing only fans, it's not the filming,
• 6:23
  actually the filming. It's very that that's let's
• 6:28
  let's not get to sidetrack. But the most fun part about
• 6:31
  doing the only fans for me is that it's a business where like
• 6:35
  I can change things around at any time that I want and not
• 6:39
  have to worry about what the repercussions are.
• 6:44
  So I have that type of, I don't know, attitude or mindset or
• 6:51
  like the way my head works is I have a lot of ideas and I would
• 6:56
  a lot of times love to just like whatever idea I think is best,
• 7:00
  just like take a with and run just a spontaneity to the way my
• 7:05
  mind works that I think doesn't usually translate to my actual
• 7:11
  physical actions. And my close friends know me for
• 7:15
  planning things out a lot and I do.
• 7:18
  But to take just the Only Fans business as an example,
• 7:22
  sometimes it's hard to know when you make a business decision
• 7:25
  whether it's like the right one. And with Only Fans, it's more of
• 7:31
  a newer, more of like an independent and, and a less
• 7:38
  well, well established type of a career.
• 7:43
  You know, people have only been doing it for like what, six or
• 7:46
  seven years, something like that.
• 7:49
  It's only been like it's only existed for that long.
• 7:52
  There's no, there's not a lot of data on how to like run it
• 7:55
  successfully. There are like agencies and
• 7:56
  stuff that have popped up around that.
• 7:58
  But you know, the great thing is, you know, most people that
• 8:01
  are doing only fans, a lot of it, they're just a lot of times
• 8:03
  they're just doing it themselves, which means everyone
• 8:07
  is now a business person who runs it.
• 8:09
  And just little things like you know, how you should run
• 8:13
  promotions, Should you offer discounts?
• 8:15
  You know, how often should you upload content?
• 8:17
  What content is resonating with people?
• 8:19
  You know, is your fan base engaged?
• 8:21
  You know, how do you get more tips from them?
• 8:24
  How do you get them to renew? Like all these things
• 8:27
  theoretically could apply to a lot of other businesses that are
• 8:31
  like sales based as well. But the fun thing about this is
• 8:37
  the the fun and the good and the bad thing.
• 8:38
  The bad thing is because it's like such a new type of work and
• 8:44
  it's a very independent kind of one person type of business for
• 8:49
  a lot of creators. There's there you get a you get
• 8:53
  full control because when you're one person shop, you can do
• 8:57
  anything that you want. The bad thing is because it's a
• 9:00
  newer industry and there's not like a ton of like formal
• 9:04
  networking that goes on between all the creators.
• 9:07
  There's no like playbook or like any really well established best
• 9:13
  practices for how to like run it from like the business side of
• 9:17
  things. So put those two things
• 9:21
  together. That means there's a lot of
• 9:24
  like, well, let's just try to see what sticks, right?
• 9:27
  If it was a more traditional line of business that has
• 9:30
  existed for longer that isn't so niche.
• 9:34
  Any gays talk about only fans. Like everybody has an only fans,
• 9:37
  unlike the grand scheme of things, you know, like it's like
• 9:41
  the point 1% of the world that even remotely knows what it's
• 9:44
  like to be a content creator that actually makes money from
• 9:48
  it and spends like many hours a week doing it.
• 9:52
  You know, like there are Youtubers and podcasters and you
• 9:56
  know, like if you just even if you lump all of the content
• 9:59
  indie content creators together, some of them are not so indie
• 10:02
  anymore. They've got like companies and
• 10:03
  everything like that. You look at a grand scheme of
• 10:05
  things, they still have very, it's still a pretty niche career
• 10:11
  because yeah, I know people will go on Instagram.
• 10:14
  You see creators on Instagram all the time.
• 10:16
  You go on YouTube and you see a lot of Youtubers all the time.
• 10:19
  There are a lot of people that are doing only fans.
• 10:21
  But on the grand scheme of things, there are way, way, way
• 10:24
  more people doing things that are not content creation.
• 10:28
  Like the 99% of the world are not doing content creation in a
• 10:33
  way that they're monetizing it. OK, It's kind of good and bad
• 10:36
  because I have the freedom to change and do anything I want at
• 10:42
  any time that I would like. But the bad thing is like, it's
• 10:46
  hard to know what's like the right or the best thing to do.
• 10:50
  So I'll give you an example. Back in June, well early this
• 10:53
  year, I was thinking about, as you do any business, how to
• 10:58
  maximize your profit, OK, I feel like people when they talk about
• 11:02
  Onlyfans, they just talk about, oh, it's it's PORN, you know,
• 11:07
  it's like, oh, it's it's creators doing collabs.
• 11:10
  I have ran mine for what, four years now and obviously I've
• 11:16
  done a lot of collabs and I've gone to know a lot of people
• 11:21
  that are kind of in my sort of similar situation.
• 11:24
  You know, they've been doing it for, you know, a few or several
• 11:27
  years. They just run it themselves.
• 11:30
  And you know, a lot of times they treat it kind of like a
• 11:34
  business about as much as I do, some a little less, but like
• 11:37
  some a little more as well. But anyways, you know, we we all
• 11:41
  think about, we all look at the numbers.
• 11:43
  This is something that you may not like all the creators that
• 11:45
  are doing it in any remotely serious way.
• 11:47
  We look at the numbers, we try to find ways to increase the
• 11:50
  revenue, increase the profit, retain subscribers, all that
• 11:53
  stuff. There's really truly a, a proper
• 11:55
  business side to it. So I was thinking every so
• 11:58
  often, I'm always thinking about this, but early this year, I was
• 12:00
  thinking, what are some changes we can make to like get more
• 12:03
  subscribe well, get more money, get more profit basically.
• 12:06
  And in June, I decided to make a bunch of changes.
• 12:12
  So I've been surveying people late last year, early this year,
• 12:17
  and to try to get some data on what my fans would like and what
• 12:22
  they would pay for. And that's via polls, like
• 12:27
  little polls in Twitter and Instagram, like a proper survey,
• 12:31
  like you click a link to a survey and it's like multiple
• 12:33
  questions and you fill it out. And then just kind of asking
• 12:36
  questions, just seeing what the comments are, you know, like all
• 12:39
  the different ways I could solicit feedback from fans on
• 12:42
  all the different platforms. And then I came up with a bunch
• 12:47
  of big changes that I rolled out in June.
• 12:50
  And I do track my numbers and especially and everything.
• 12:55
  And when I first did the change, when you first do a change,
• 12:58
  especially if it's any sort of price increase, which I did do a
• 13:01
  price increase in June, you're going to lose some subscribers.
• 13:04
  But what you have to do is you have to let the changes have a
• 13:09
  chance and some time to play out.
• 13:11
  So my goal was, OK, let's make the changes.
• 13:17
  There is a price increase for as part of the changes.
• 13:22
  And also we need to advertise out to people what the new setup
• 13:28
  is because people, if you're going to make a bench of
• 13:30
  changes, people need to know about them because you're making
• 13:33
  the changes hopefully to entice more people to pay more money.
• 13:38
  So you need to get the work out there.
• 13:41
  You need to market out the changes and how it's better for
• 13:43
  them. Basically, we're about 5 months
• 13:47
  later, it's November now and I've realized the changes don't
• 13:51
  work, which is OK, and I'm basically just going to undo
• 13:57
  those changes now. If this was like my skin care
• 14:01
  business where it's like OK, it's much more money at stake
• 14:05
  and you know it. Skin care selling cosmetics is a
• 14:09
  pretty well established industry and it's a pretty established
• 14:13
  type of work. There have been hundreds, not
• 14:16
  thousands of skin care cosmetics companies out there since for
• 14:20
  decades. OK, the way to market skin care
• 14:24
  and cosmetics, we have decades of information, Thousands of
• 14:30
  people have done marketing for that industry.
• 14:33
  The the beauty industry is a multibillion dollar industry
• 14:38
  that has lasted for many decades.
• 14:41
  So in that sense, it's a well established like you can go in
• 14:46
  there and there are kind of some best practice there.
• 14:51
  There's some like hard rules, but then there's quite a lot of
• 14:55
  best practices. So when I went into market, the
• 14:57
  skin care thing, I know I wasn't going to be, I've been in the
• 15:01
  industry. I'm a newcomer.
• 15:02
  I'm also not a marketing person. I decided at some point, OK,
• 15:06
  let's hire a marketing agency that caters to smaller
• 15:11
  businesses, that caters to launching new brands, that has a
• 15:15
  good experience in the cosmetics and skin care industry, which is
• 15:19
  what I got. And now I'm working with this
• 15:21
  marketing agency to do the launch.
• 15:23
  But you know, even though I don't, I'm new data industry and
• 15:28
  I don't have that experience and I don't know much about
• 15:30
  marketing. Even just talking to them,
• 15:33
  having the regular meetings with them, I can tell, you know, when
• 15:37
  they recommend me do certain things or when they tell me when
• 15:43
  they ask me about this and that just in those types of
• 15:45
  conversations, I can already tell, OK, they, they kind of
• 15:49
  know what they're doing. And when they explain, sometimes
• 15:52
  they'll make a decision or they'll recommend something and
• 15:54
  I'll ask, oh, why is that? What if we did this?
• 15:57
  And then they'll explain like, Oh, well, we're going to do A
• 15:59
  and not B because blah, blah, blah, or we recommend this or we
• 16:04
  don't recommend you do this because you know, XYZ.
• 16:08
  And when they explain, it's like, oh, that makes a lot of
• 16:10
  sense, right? You know, So for the skin care
• 16:15
  business, that's kind of great to know that even though I don't
• 16:20
  have that experience and I'm new to that industry and I'm this is
• 16:24
  a new band that I'm building from Ground Zero, it's
• 16:27
  comforting to know that other lots of other people have done
• 16:32
  it. So therefore, the way kind of
• 16:36
  like the rough formula to launch a skin care brand.
• 16:41
  It's not like no one knows how to do it and there's absolutely
• 16:46
  no guidance or road map. Lots of companies have launched,
• 16:49
  lot of beauty companies have launched and I can get people, I
• 16:54
  can hire people that have that expertise to help do it and
• 16:58
  exponentially increase the chances of success.
• 17:01
  That's compared to like only fans where there's not like a
• 17:05
  company I can really go to and say like, how do I make my only
• 17:09
  fans better? There are starting to be some
• 17:12
  agencies, like only fans, agencies that focus on only
• 17:15
  fans. A lot of them, they focus on
• 17:18
  only fans management quote, UN quote, managing your only fans
• 17:22
  for you in like in full or in part.
• 17:25
  And some of you have heard about like chatters for only fans
• 17:28
  where, you know, fans would want to chat with their creator on
• 17:32
  only fans. And is it really the creator
• 17:34
  that's on the other end of that? Maybe it's like some person
• 17:36
  that's hired to do the chatting for that creator anyways, I
• 17:38
  don't do that by the way. I just totally shaded the people
• 17:41
  that do. I mean, it's a business.
• 17:43
  You do you. But yeah, there's not a lot of
• 17:47
  like, really concrete best practices or like a guide book
• 17:51
  to like, OK, like, you know, this is like how you should
• 17:55
  price your only fans. And like, this is how you market
• 17:57
  it. And these are like the do's and
• 17:58
  don'ts. So there's a little bit of that.
• 18:02
  I mean, if someone comes up to me and says, oh, how should I
• 18:06
  run my I, I want to start my only fans.
• 18:08
  What should I do? How should I run it?
• 18:09
  How should I do this and that? I'm going to have some advice
• 18:12
  for them. But I've also listened to other
• 18:16
  like, very successful, very established creators on only
• 18:20
  fans. Give advice to other newbies.
• 18:23
  And The thing is, the advice doesn't always apply.
• 18:30
  You know, just like if you launch a skin care company, not
• 18:32
  every skin care company is going to be exactly the same.
• 18:35
  You know, launching a skin care company here in the US versus in
• 18:39
  Europe or in Asia is not going to be the same.
• 18:41
  So there's, there's a bunch of variables at a high level, there
• 18:45
  are guidelines, but you know, when you get in fact, the nitty
• 18:48
  gritty details for one specific business, you know, you, you're
• 18:52
  going to have to customize things a little bit.
• 18:56
  You know, it's a thing with only fans.
• 18:57
  And like the way that some of the the way that I have decided
• 19:02
  to market my only fans, it has worked well for me.
• 19:06
  You know, for example, I it was a business decision like really
• 19:10
  it was strategic to market towards Asia.
• 19:16
  It was very strategic to work with Asian creators that are in
• 19:21
  Asia. It was very, very strategic to
• 19:24
  market to fans in Asia and you know, someone that is not Asian
• 19:33
  and they are based in the US, for example, you know, they
• 19:38
  might have a very different target demographic.
• 19:41
  You know, not every type of content is going to appeal to
• 19:45
  everyone. And from pretty early on, I
• 19:49
  decided, you know what my best chance of success is to focus on
• 19:55
  a particular target demographic. And a target demographic is a
• 20:00
  very common to very common in almost anything, any type of
• 20:06
  product or service that you want to sell.
• 20:08
  OK. But the target demographic for
• 20:10
  almost anything, it's not just an only fancy thing.
• 20:13
  But for me, it's like, OK, I have this particular target.
• 20:15
  This is where I want to like really focus on as my fan base.
• 20:20
  And it's actually worked very, very well.
• 20:22
  But when it comes to some of these decisions, like, you know,
• 20:24
  I sometimes I just wish people would just tell me what they
• 20:26
  want. I just wish the fans would just
• 20:28
  like tell me what they want. And some of them do.
• 20:32
  And that's why I made all these big changes in June because
• 20:36
  there were some fans that told me what they want.
• 20:42
  But this is kind of sort of there's some word for it where
• 20:45
  the people that even to survey people, you know, there's kind
• 20:50
  of some natural bias in who takes the survey.
• 20:53
  There's, there'll be people that are more inclined to take a
• 20:56
  survey that might be more outspoken first is people who
• 21:00
  are less likely to take a survey that will feel very differently.
• 21:03
  I'm not explaining it very well from like the scientific point
• 21:05
  of view, but there's some sort of like built in bias to opt in
• 21:09
  surveys. You know, there's only certain
• 21:11
  personality or certain types of people who actually want to like
• 21:15
  voluntary take your survey and then you only get results from a
• 21:20
  slightly skewed part of the population anyway.
• 21:23
  So now I'm just rolling back all those changes.
• 21:26
  But it wasn't, it didn't feel bad.
• 21:28
  It didn't feel bad to roll it back to change it.
• 21:31
  It actually felt very empowering in a way because I own and run
• 21:37
  this whole business and because there are no wasn't a lot of
• 21:41
  guidelines and best practices. That's why I made these changes
• 21:44
  and it didn't work. But it's also because of the
• 21:46
  same reasons that now I feel empowered that, you know, I can
• 21:50
  just flip the script again. I can just roll back to what I
• 21:54
  was doing before and it would be fine.
• 21:56
  A lot of other traditional businesses, I don't think it
• 21:59
  would be that easy, just like snap a finger, be like, OK, this
• 22:01
  didn't work. We'll just change the whole
• 22:03
  model back because it's like a a lot of stuff that I've been do,
• 22:05
  it's not work per SE. It's just a lot of decisions
• 22:08
  like, oh, I would have changed the price back.
• 22:10
  This other thing that I stopped doing, I can just start doing
• 22:13
  again. It's actually relatively easy
• 22:15
  for me to do and for me that's kind of fun.
• 22:18
  Like I found the business part of Onlyfans probably like the
• 22:21
  most fun and enjoyable part, but a lot of it really just depends
• 22:25
  on me having because I'm a one person shop, I can do whatever I
• 22:33
  want to at any time that I want, which is, which is great.
• 22:38
  How many times have I been an employee working for a
• 22:41
  corporation where I wanted to do something and there's all these
• 22:44
  like layers of bureaucracy. So for like a control freak like
• 22:47
  me doing something like an only fans is like kind of sort of the
• 22:51
  ultimate in a way, because I can, I can I can change.
• 22:55
  I can change everything five days a week if I wanted to.
• 22:58
  Not that it's good for the fans and I wouldn't do that, but like
• 23:01
  to be able to oh, this price didn't work, I'll just change
• 23:03
  it. But like literally just in two
• 23:06
  seconds, I can decide to do that and then actually make it
• 23:08
  happen. Click, click enter done.
• 23:12
  So that part is that part is that part is nice to for me to
• 23:18
  be able to have like full control.
• 23:19
  It's like, eh, eh, try something.
• 23:21
  If it doesn't work, I can change it back.
• 23:24
  So all the businesses are firing on some number of cylinders.
• 23:29
  You know, I'm very optimistic about the launch for the skin
• 23:31
  care line. So in a couple of weeks I'll be
• 23:34
  able to talk more about it. We're just, we're literally just
• 23:37
  after I started the skin care company literally 2 1/2 years
• 23:41
  ago was like when I first decided, OK, let's go do this 2
• 23:45
  1/2 years ago. Had some mistakes along the way,
• 23:49
  but we're doing the we launched now and then I wanted to do this
• 23:54
  travel advisor because I just was.
• 23:57
  So I'm so passionate about travel and it is fun for me to
• 24:01
  do. I feel like I'm still learning
• 24:04
  it a little bit, but it's been fun so far.
• 24:06
  Even though I like, I barely started it and then the only
• 24:09
  fans are still going and you know, I, I'll still keep doing
• 24:13
  it as long as I enjoy it. There are parts of only fans
• 24:17
  really that isn't really that enjoyable.
• 24:19
  It's very easy to look at a content, create any kind of
• 24:21
  content. I feel like, oh, that person
• 24:24
  lives such a glamorous life or like, oh, that person is a porn
• 24:27
  star. I'm not even a star.
• 24:29
  I'm I, I, I do PORN, but I'm not a STAR really, honestly.
• 24:34
  But there are some like not so glamorous parts.
• 24:37
  I feel like any type of content creator, influencer, tick
• 24:41
  tocker, YouTube only fans person, whatever, you know, from
• 24:44
  the fans perspective, you see the final product with the
• 24:48
  Polish and you know, you look at influencers and you see just the
• 24:53
  Polish, whatever the final product that has all the Polish
• 24:59
  and the many hours, if not days or weeks of work, right.
• 25:02
  But it's always like the behind the scenes stuff, it's they're,
• 25:05
  they're grueling parts to, they're grueling parts to doing
• 25:10
  any kind of content creation. You know, the amount of
• 25:14
  sometimes the amount of work that sometimes I feel like
• 25:16
  content creators get made fun of because sometimes some people
• 25:20
  think, oh, that person just threw a camera on and just did
• 25:24
  this and they didn't really work hard for anything.
• 25:27
  I feel like there's a minority of content creators that can
• 25:32
  kind of accidentally happen upon.
• 25:36
  They might get like a viral video or two.
• 25:40
  But I think these days, like today, if you want to be a
• 25:43
  successful content, if you want to actually make some decent
• 25:47
  amount of money as a content creator, if you want to make, I
• 25:51
  don't know, 4 figures a month, OK, like some some decent money
• 25:57
  as a content creator that you probably can't do by accident,
• 26:04
  even if you're a lazy type of person.
• 26:06
  But I know people that do only fans and I've talked about only
• 26:08
  fans. You know, you can do it
• 26:10
  literally as like a hobby that you happen to charge a little
• 26:15
  money for or you can do it super serious.
• 26:17
  But I know kind of creators that have that they're on that full
• 26:19
  spectrum where they have like a intense full time job that takes
• 26:25
  more than the 40 hours a week. And they kind of do the only
• 26:28
  fans literally very much on the side.
• 26:30
  They're not super in it for the money, but like it probably
• 26:33
  brings in like a few bucks a week or something.
• 26:35
  And then I definitely know craters that it's their it's
• 26:38
  their career. Like it's their main job and
• 26:41
  they are very into it, both in terms of to create in the
• 26:45
  content and also from the business side.
• 26:48
  And they, they need to have the four figure per month income
• 26:52
  because it's, it's literally their main source of income.
• 26:54
  Like their lives depend on it, their rent depends on it, their
• 26:57
  food depends on it. So I've, I've worked with people
• 27:00
  and I've met with people and talk to people throughout that
• 27:03
  like whole spectrum. But anyone that is trying to do
• 27:07
  it to, to get any substantial amount of money, there is enough
• 27:11
  work that you have to do that. I feel like that's stereotypical
• 27:17
  viewpoint of, oh, that person just like films a few collapse a
• 27:23
  month that just throws it on like, that's not, that's not
• 27:25
  serious work. That person like that.
• 27:27
  That person didn't have to do much to just upload a couple of
• 27:30
  videos. He just randomly snapped on his
• 27:32
  iPhone. That is the furthest from the
• 27:34
  truth. It doesn't make me angry that
• 27:36
  people think of it that way because I'm at the point in my
• 27:40
  life where, like, I'm about me. I'll do the things that I enjoy
• 27:44
  and the things that I need to do.
• 27:46
  And I know how much hard work and dedication it takes to do
• 27:52
  some of these things because I've done it and I'm actively
• 27:55
  still doing them. And if other people don't
• 27:59
  appreciate it, that's not my problem.
• 28:02
  I'm not doing it to impress people.
• 28:07
  You know, I don't start a skin care company to impress people
• 28:11
  who are going to be judgy about people they don't know anything
• 28:14
  about and have never started a business before.
• 28:17
  I didn't become a travel advisor to impress people.
• 28:22
  You know, I want to be a travel agent because I've had so many
• 28:28
  great life experiences out of travelling that I really wanted
• 28:33
  to be able to help others do that and also be able to be
• 28:39
  successful running that as a business.
• 28:42
  And I didn't start Only Fans to impress people so that people
• 28:47
  think, oh, that's like a famous porn only fans person, whatever.
• 28:52
  I started because I wanted to do it and I still continue to do it
• 28:56
  because I still enjoy doing it. And like I said, you know, I
• 28:58
  find like the business aspect of it, it's actually fun for me to
• 29:01
  do. Sometimes I spent hours late at
• 29:03
  night thinking about, oh, what's like the new business strategy
• 29:07
  for like this next phase of my only fans.
• 29:09
  Oh, let's do like a new promotional campaign.
• 29:13
  Let's whip up some graphics for that.
• 29:15
  I do these things because like I enjoy them.
• 29:18
  It is very hard work, but you know, I know the amount of work
• 29:21
  that goes into it and no risk, no reward, but because I'm the
• 29:27
  one that's put the resources into it, if it went, it does
• 29:30
  become successful and takes off. I'm the person that's reaping
• 29:33
  the rewards and the haters can, well, I don't know.
• 29:38
  Do people get paid to be haters? That's why there's so many of
• 29:41
  them out there. Anyways, to end this podcast, I
• 29:48
  told you guys I very randomly got this book when I was killing
• 29:52
  time at a mall while while my car was getting work done and
• 29:56
  it's 3000 questions about me. I thought it would be nice to
• 30:00
  end the podcast if I just answer another three questions from
• 30:05
  this book. So I'm going to flip to a random
• 30:07
  page. OK?
• 30:09
  All these are numbered in this book, which is great.
• 30:10
  So question #736 out of the 3000 that are in this book, there
• 30:14
  must be some duplicates in here. 736, Did you apply for a win?
• 30:17
  Any scholarships? No, I'm not a scholarship type
• 30:22
  of a person. I did good.
• 30:25
  I got good grades in high school, for example, and it
• 30:28
  wasn't a problem for me to get into college.
• 30:32
  But I'm not, I'm not, I'm very average otherwise.
• 30:37
  I don't do a lot of extracurriculars.
• 30:39
  I don't do sports. I don't, you know, I'm not like,
• 30:42
  yeah, I'm very, I'm in a very academically, I'm very average.
• 30:46
  Question 737. What keeps you balanced in life
• 30:49
  at work? Oh my God.
• 30:50
  OK, I mean, well, right now I'm not exactly the role model of a
• 30:54
  great work life balance because, you know, there's, there's so
• 31:00
  much going on like the the the I I've spent this whole podcast
• 31:04
  talking about all, all three of my all three lines of my work
• 31:09
  right now. Sometimes I think I'm crazy for
• 31:11
  trying to do three things, but let's not dig into that too
• 31:15
  much. Otherwise I'll have maybe like a
• 31:17
  meltdown. OK, 738.
• 31:19
  If you could steal one thing without consequence with money,
• 31:23
  just money. Like why would you steal
• 31:26
  anything else without consequence except for money?
• 31:30
  Like unless it's something that money can't buy.
• 31:33
  But literally, you know what? Like 95% of the things I want,
• 31:38
  it's things that just require money, like things that are
• 31:44
  stealable. Like when you want to steal
• 31:46
  someone's heart, like are you going to get all touchy feely
• 31:49
  like that? No, I don't want to steal any
• 31:52
  one person's heart. If I could steal one thing,
• 31:54
  yeah, just just give me like $100 million.
• 31:57
  Just let me steal like multiple millions of dollars.
• 32:00
  I won't go into the billions. Just give me like, I don't know,
• 32:03
  a good like at least 20-30, you know, like $1,000,000 today is
• 32:08
  not what it is. It's not such a big deal.
• 32:11
  A6 figure income in a place like New York or San Francisco, it's
• 32:17
  not really a big deal anymore. You know, back in like the 90s
• 32:23
  to have a six figure income, obviously La La.
• 32:26
  But you know, there's this thing called inflation and today
• 32:29
  making a six figure income for a lot of the country here in the
• 32:33
  US, for example, yeah, it's still a pretty big deal.
• 32:37
  But if you are in the large metropolitan areas like New
• 32:43
  York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, like Chicago, what,
• 32:46
  making $100,000 a year, it's not a huge deal.
• 32:52
  It's not so la, LA like, you know, like back 20 years ago.
• 32:59
  Yeah. Money, definitely.
• 33:00
  Yeah. Just steal money.
• 33:01
  There's nothing else I would rather steal than without any
• 33:04
  consequence. Literally go to the biggest,
• 33:07
  richest bank and just F and walk in there and be like just give
• 33:11
  me all the actually, I don't think banks even keep cash.
• 33:14
  They do keep cash, but like they don't keep millions in cash.
• 33:18
  All right, there you go. And with that, next week, we're
• 33:22
  pretty close. We're very close to
• 33:23
  Thanksgiving. Obviously next week.
• 33:26
  I think I would do a Thanksgiving episode and that
• 33:32
  would go up the week before Thanksgiving and probably the
• 33:37
  week of these go out on Thursdays and Thanksgiving is
• 33:39
  always on a Thursday. We're probably going to take a
• 33:41
  break from the podcast on actual Thanksgiving Day.
• 33:45
  So that for two reasons. So that all of you can have a
• 33:50
  break from me because a lot of you are going to be doing
• 33:52
  Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving things.
• 33:55
  And also for me because I, I, I just want to take a break.
• 34:02
  I, I want to take a vacation, you know, for my only fans.
• 34:05
  I'm already planning to do a 2 full weeks of vacation.
• 34:09
  One of the bad things about running a business is that
• 34:11
  there's no like Mondays to Fridays, 9:00 to 5:00.
• 34:14
  It's kind of like 247365. But I've decided this year that
• 34:19
  I'm going to take a full 2 week Christmas and New Year's
• 34:23
  vacation from my Only Fans. And for people that are paying
• 34:28
  subscription, I'm going to have some reruns, some special
• 34:32
  reruns. OK.
• 34:34
  But otherwise, I'm just going to tell them I've got some reruns
• 34:37
  coming up for you, some special reruns, limited time reruns only
• 34:41
  available during the holiday season that you can watch.
• 34:45
  But otherwise, I'm going to be out for two weeks.
• 34:49
  So yeah, that that's another great thing about being able to
• 34:51
  run your only Fans. You can take a vacation if you
• 34:53
  want. All right.
• 34:54
  And until next time, bye y'all.
