Good thread. Nice insight.
I've probably subscribed to at least 100 different people on OF. Maybe more. It's a weird little addiction. The thrill of something new. Very fleeting though. I'm down to 4 long term subs.
3 of them are really well known porn stars. I just subscribe to them for the full year because it's inexpensive. We chit chat on the working nights. It's like hanging out with your local dive bartender. You just talk, tip, get some selfies. They chat in between better paying clients, but they come back because we have a history. When they push videos i know they aren't working, Monday and Tuesday. I've subscribed to them for almost 3 years now. They know i prefer personal photos over vids. Maybe some nudes with one photo of them flicking off the camera or the indoor house plant in the background. It's fun and light hearted. I tip like im in the bar or strip club. Fuck ppv. It's custom photos in the moment. I'll buy the vids next month when the price is 1/3. I guess I'm really buying the chit chat.
Btw my little tiny town has a dive bar. Beer is $2-3. I go in everyday with my gf/friends/ coworkers/neighbors. The 3 bartenders are great friends. I've taught all of their children. Everyone knows each other. I tip about 5-6 bucks a day. 1800 a year roughly.
Fleece someone for 100 bucks now and just once; or get 1800 a year per client by building a partnership. Paying isn't bad. Just have to find the right people.
