So my last blog post was Commandments for Content Creators. Buyers, consumers, clients, friends, supporters… this one is for you.
1. Thou shalt pay.
We are running businesses here. We want to make money. By engaging with people who don’t pay we are wasting time that could be better spent with paying clients. Also, if you are enjoying a model’s content, pay them something. $5 can actually mean the difference between us cashing out for the month or not. Can’t pay? Well, this is not hobby for you. Step aside and make way for the people who have cash.
2. Thou shalt respect boundaries.
We make boundaries for a reason, to keep ourselves feeling safe and in control. If you try to change a model’s boundaries you are telling them, in eassence, that you don’t care about them in the slightest. With such an intimate form of entertainment, respecting boundaries is even more important than in other occupations, because the hazards associated with it are huge. It could mean life or death.
3. Thou shalt respect privacy.
You are purchasing a service or content, not the right to know every little detail about the model. Privacy in this industry is so important, and like I would not invade the privacy of a consumer (finding out their real name, where they live, where they work, their marital status), you should not delve into the private life of models. This is our work, and can be very unsafe at times. Do not take our responses to invasive questions as personal; we need to tread very carefully in all domains of our lives.
4. Thou shalt provide feedback.
Sometimes, we as content creators sit in a cone of silence. People will buy content and never say anything about it; if they loved it or hated it. I personally love reviews, even if they are not 5 stars, because constructive criticism helps me grow. Like any other services tell us; good, bad or whatever. It honestly is so important.
5. Thou shalt communicate clearly, like an adult.
If you would like to purchase a service or piece of content, approach it as you would any other purchase. Abusing the seller, making them feel uncomfortable, emotionally manipulating or not asking what you want directly and succinctly is not how anyone does things. Especially if you want to develop an ongoing business relationship with someone.
6. Thou shalt understand the business if one wants to consume it.
Asking dumb questions of content creators and adult service providers is not a smart move. Not when it doesn’t take much effort to learn about the business. Learn about how the adult industry works and learn about your favourite creators. Where you can buy their content, what payment methods they prefer and how services are provided. It makes it easier for us and you, which makes for a much more enjoyable experiences.
7. Thou shalt comply with reasonable requests from models.
This one kind of follows on from the last. The kind of requests I am talking about are payment before product, their preferred payment method and times/method of delivering content/service. Make our lives easier, not harder.
8. Thou shalt not be a timewaster.
Timewasters are the bane of our existence. Our time equals money so wasting it is a serious indiscretion. We will not forget it either. It will taint any interaction with you thereafter. If in doubt, send a tip.
9. Thou shalt think before speaking.
Look, we know that when purchasing our content and speaking to us you are in a certain… state of mind. And sometimes this means you speak without thinking. But please, in order to get what we both need, just try to stop and put your thoughts together first.
10. Thou shalt not be a shit human.
Follows on from number 9 in a certain sense. Remember that you are speaking to a human with wants, needs and feelings. There is a real person on the end of your transaction who has to deal with some pretty rough behaviour every single day. Want to stand out and be remembered fondly? Want to have nice future interactions with us? Then be thoughtful and considerate. It will bode well for you.
