Introduction to 'The Slut Next Door'
00:00:07
Speaker
Welcome to the Slut Next Door podcast, where we dive deep into desire, unravel kinks and fetishes, and explore the deliciously naughty side of self-discovery.
00:00:25
Speaker
I'm Beatrix Vale, an erotic audio creator, and your guide to all things kinky and curious. So let's begin.
Misconceptions of Adult Content Creation
00:00:43
Speaker
One of the biggest misconceptions about being an adult content creator is that it's easy. that anyone can just say, turn on a camera, or in my case, hit record, say something sexy, post it online, and voila, instant money.
00:01:04
Speaker
And I get it. From the outside, it does look like all fun and pleasure. But what you don't see are the hours of planning, editing, marketing, negotiating,
00:01:18
Speaker
trying to keep your creativity alive, managing messages, emails. So today I'm pulling back the curtain.
Journey into Adult Content Creation
00:01:27
Speaker
I'm going to take you behind the scenes of my life as an adult content creator, how I got here, what a day actually looks like, the parts that light me up, and the parts that make me want to throw my laptop out the window.
00:01:44
Speaker
If you've ever wondered what it's really like on this side of the screen or the mic, this episode is for you. So let's get into it.
00:01:55
Speaker
I'm going to first talk about my origin story. So how I first got into adult content creation. i believe I've explained it on this podcast before, but I will explain again So ah few years ago, for a while, I had to have a side hustle, my regular full-time job where I made pretty decent money, nothing crazy, but It just, it wasn't enough. I needed something that I did and the weekends or every now and then in the evening. So I was doing DoorDash because I had to. And i got really tired of doing DoorDash very quickly. So I went online and searched up for side hustle ideas.
00:02:46
Speaker
And I came across an article about women selling their used panties. And I was like, what? I'd never heard of that before. Looked into it more. And I'm like, you know what? This kind of sounds fun. i'm going to try it out. You know, there there shouldn't be a lot of um money to put up up front. i already have panties that I wear.
00:03:10
Speaker
ah You know, I have a camera. ah to post pictures. So I went for it. i ah found a site online to sell my panties and it opened up my worldview. i had no idea that this whole online sex work ecosystem lived online. i had no clue. Of course, I knew porn existed, but I didn't know about everything else like phone sex and
00:03:41
Speaker
you know, of obviously selling used panties, sexting, no clue. And very quickly, it turned into, even even on this used panty side, it quickly turned into a lot of my sales were had nothing to do with panties. It had to do with sexting or phone sex, stuff like that.
00:04:06
Speaker
So that led into me looking into phone sex because I really, really
Transition to Full-Time Adult Content
00:04:13
Speaker
enjoyed doing that. It was very fun. i loved using my brain and my words to get someone off and that led me to night flirt.
00:04:25
Speaker
And at that time I was working ah full-time job and I was working from home. And i was very naughty. i was still doing my regular job as best as I could.
00:04:39
Speaker
And i decided to just turn on that that night flirt profile while I was working and kind of do both at once. And that first day, i that phone wouldn't stop ringing.
00:04:55
Speaker
I was shocked. It was just call after call after call. And I had so much fun. And so I did it again and I did it again. So I did that for a couple weeks.
00:05:06
Speaker
And it didn't let up. I just, I kept getting calls and I was making so much money. ah was making more money than I was in my full-time job.
00:05:18
Speaker
And i just was really ballsy. I thought, you know what? I'm going to go for this. i am having a lot of fun. i and making more money than i anticipated i ever would, um you know, because I am very money motivated. I like making money.
00:05:39
Speaker
um i like being comfortable in my life. I like having nice things. And so, yeah, I just went for it. And when I think back, I think how, like I said, how ballsy that was.
Passion for Audio Creation
00:05:53
Speaker
um because it could have failed, you know, but I've never been someone that I don't let the fear of failing stop me. So, yeah, and then eventually um that led me to audios and, well, technically, so when I was doing the used panty sales,
00:06:16
Speaker
I actually got this customer that came back time and time again. he was very interested in a very specific type of audio.
00:06:28
Speaker
you'll laugh when I tell you it was so interesting, catfights. So he would like me to create these audios where I was on the phone with someone, fake obviously, but I was on the phone and I was um trying to fight this woman, you know, like and in getting in an actual cat fight, it was is very cinematic, if you will.
00:06:53
Speaker
um But that's when I really fell in love with audios because I had the best time doing those audios. Like I was like, this is so fun. i And it's funny, I never was like an actress or anything. Like I've never been into acting, but...
00:07:11
Speaker
I think about that a lot now that I just do audios. I am like an actress, right? I'm doing a lot of things that actresses do.
00:07:22
Speaker
um that's very interesting when I think about that. but Anyway, um yeah, that that led me to, hey, I want to do these audios full time.
00:07:34
Speaker
and But I couldn't stop doing the phone sex because that was how I made my money. um So i just,
Empowerment and Joy from Work
00:07:43
Speaker
I stuck with it and i was balancing, you know, audio work and taking phone calls until got to the point where I could fully do audios and That's what I do now.
00:07:57
Speaker
And when I think back to those first few months when I was doing the used panty sales, I think back to those first months and they were they were so exciting. Like I just couldn't believe that I was making money off of being sexy and seducing men. Like it was really exciting. And to be honest, it turned me on a lot.
00:08:28
Speaker
I've always had this piece of me that loves making men come. um That's always been something inside of me. And so like, you know, it was just very fulfilling in that way and was very overwhelming.
00:08:45
Speaker
ah Again, I'm not someone who shies away from a challenge. I think I actually thrive. when there is a challenge. So i remember being very overwhelmed because it was a lot to learn. You know you had to learn um like quickly, oh my gosh, I have to be organized with this. like I can't just take a picture and let it sit in my phone.
00:09:09
Speaker
um I need to take the picture and then I need to make sure it's saved and in a particular folder. and then I need to get organized with pricing structures um i need to stay organized and consistent consistent with posts you know so there was a lot of a lot of learning and i just kind of soaked it all up i saw what other people were doing and you know did my spin on it and yeah it was um it was just a it was very exciting time
00:09:46
Speaker
It's very, it's a little addicting. I'll say that too. when When you do use your sex appeal to to monetize something, like so back then it was selling my used panties and typically part of the panty game is a tease. you know It's not like, oh, here's my panties, we're never talking again.
00:10:12
Speaker
It's more like, okay, so you're going to buy my used panties, but I'm also going to send you a message a day send you a picture of me wearing the panties. And like for me to make sure the customer was happy, i would throw in a little tease too, you know, like, oh, it was a really hot day you know.
00:10:34
Speaker
Um, and that became a very heady. Um, I felt powerful. I felt confident. Um, it was honestly i'm a little addicting, you know, um And I've explained before on this podcast, I've always been a kinky person, you know, even way way back when.
00:11:00
Speaker
I'm always thriving on something kinky all throughout my life. So it just seemed like a very natural thing for me to go into. There never was this moment where I thought, oh, you know, is it moral to do this? um You know, what am i adding to the porn addiction? or That's never in my mind because for me, sex and kink have always been such a powerful part of my life.
00:11:33
Speaker
And I really do believe, and people can laugh at me if they want. I'm sure there would be people that laugh at this. I really do know that I make a difference in people's lives. I make their days better. i help them feel good after a a long, stressful day. Life is crazy, you know, and for me to be a positive part of their life, that something that makes them feel good and safe, that just brings me a lot of joy.
00:12:04
Speaker
And i always like to bring up to that when I'm talking about my origin story, I promise I had no idea, no idea that I had a nice voice.
00:12:18
Speaker
I wish someone would have told me like I can remember I can remember dating men, like especially on dating apps, and we'd talk on the phone for the first time. And I can remember men saying like, oh, you have a nice voice.
00:12:31
Speaker
I thought that was just their way of flirting. That's the only time I can remember someone telling me had to have a nice voice. um So when I started doing phone sex...
00:12:43
Speaker
I guess I, well, really, i think when I started doing audios and I started getting all these messages like, oh my gosh, your voice and la la la la, I just had no fucking clue. And that just makes me laugh because, you know, when we hear ourselves talk like inside of our head, it sounds way different than what we hear.
00:13:06
Speaker
um you know, someone on the receiving end. So i yeah, I just had no idea. And honestly, there's sometimes when I do listen to my hypnophiles, when I'm doing like editing things,
Creative Process of Audio Content
00:13:24
Speaker
There's sometimes I do hear it. I'm like, oh, wow, I sound really good. um But there are sometimes when I hear myself talk like in a file and I'm like, well, there's my voice.
00:13:35
Speaker
um So, yeah, i I definitely am thankful. ah For my voice, I think that's, you know, helped me. But, you know, part of this episode, too, I think it's going to prove that even if you just have a nice voice that can't carry you, um there's a whole lot behind it that that goes into this.
00:14:00
Speaker
And so. Now I'm going to talk about the creative process of being an adult content creator, specifically within my kind of content, which is audio work.
00:14:15
Speaker
Right now, i am pretty much like commission based, like I have it set up to where The files that I do come out with are custom files and I'm removing name use if I if i use their name in their custom.
00:14:36
Speaker
But then it becomes a piece of content within my subscription sites. So, but I am still making content that is within my, ah you know, what I want to do.
00:14:50
Speaker
And my next kind of goal, if you will, is to get to the point where i can be way more selective with customs and You know, like this is still a career for me and, you know, I have to support myself. So cut like accepting customs helps me, you know, continue doing what I'm doing. But the day which, you know, I'm very hopeful the day that my subscription sites get to a point, you know, money wise where I don't even need to take customs.
00:15:28
Speaker
I do look forward to that because I do still have a lot of, a lot of ideas in my head and i do try to throw them in there. Like the Y series that wasn't commissioned or if you've heard the goon cult, that wasn't a commission.
00:15:48
Speaker
Um, you know, that came from me and I still have so many ideas up there in my head of, you know, places I want to go with my content, but, I'll walk you through, you know, kind of beginning to end of what it's like to create a piece of content. And I'm sure this is the same steps for someone that's creating, say, a video or even pictures.
00:16:16
Speaker
um So first you've got the brainstorming. So for me right now, that's unpacking someone's custom requests of figuring out the things that they're asking for.
00:16:29
Speaker
and typically I like I. I have two screens and so I'll have like the customers like prompt on one screen and a Word document on the other. And sometimes I just simply retype there their because...
00:16:48
Speaker
I remember things when I write or type them. So that just helps me personally. So I'm like, you know, looking through their requests and mentally making sense of it.
00:17:00
Speaker
And then from there, I kind of chunk it out into like a plot, if you will.
Organizing and Managing Content
00:17:07
Speaker
Like here's the beginning, this is the end, so on and so forth. And i kind of create like a script outline.
00:17:15
Speaker
You know, with hypnophiles, those are all scripted. ah Sometimes when I'm doing more like femdom role plays ah are not hypno, I will improv that.
00:17:29
Speaker
Like I'll still outline the the request, but I don't have to script it typically. um With hypnos, I do because you have to be so meticulous and You know, there's an art form to it There's the hypnotic induction. There's a deepener. There's hypnotic language.
00:17:53
Speaker
And that's hard for me to do improv style. I know I can. I've done it before when I've taken phone calls and stuff. But... I don't think I'm giving, you know, my best work if it's not scripted.
00:18:09
Speaker
I also am a better writer than a speaker, which go figure, I do audios. But I do, i get my points across better if I'm able to write and kind of take my time with getting out what's in my head. So then there's the scripting process, which takes quite a bit of time, you know,
00:18:31
Speaker
Especially hypnophiles are very long. Some of them are 50 minutes to an hour, you know, some are 20 minutes. And that that's a lot of writing. And, you know, so after that, the script is done.
00:18:45
Speaker
And then there's the recording piece of it. So literally sitting behind the mic, reading, performing the script. And with hypnos, there's usually always some, you know, additional layers that I'm creating too.
00:19:02
Speaker
and So recording those whispery tracks in the back or, you know, what whatever additional layers that I need. And then there's the editing process.
00:19:13
Speaker
which depending on the file can be be pretty time intensive. um It's it's ah doctoring up my voice, you know, adding reverb to it.
00:19:25
Speaker
I have the episode, if you haven't heard it already, I talk about, you know, sound design with hypnos. There's a lot of... A lot of little things that go into it. And then and then there's doing the layering, adding the snaps, adding sound effects, whatever it is.
00:19:41
Speaker
And then it's ah delivering to the customer or posting online. so You know, it really is not, okay, I'm going to pull out my mic and I'm just going to start talking. No, there really is a lot of, a lot that goes into it. And I believe, sure, you can grab your mic and just say some things and it might be okay.
00:20:09
Speaker
But in my mind, I'm I'm wanting this to be, you know, it's my career. I want to be good at it. So I'm going to really spend the time making sure that that script is perfect, as perfect as I can make it, you know.
00:20:27
Speaker
when I'm recording, if i say something funny, I'm going to go back and rerecord that line, you know, whatever it is. So creating the content is very time intensive. um And for me, mentally, it takes a lot out of me.
00:20:45
Speaker
i'm I'm pretty introverted. So when I Yeah, recording a file isn't um socializing, but sometimes it does feel like it. Or if I'm like really in a role play, I'm becoming...
00:21:03
Speaker
you know, who I am in that audio and that it it takes a lot of my mental energy. There's some days after, ah after, especially after editing, i just, I can't explain it. It feels like every bit of mental energy is sucked out of my brain.
00:21:24
Speaker
Um, you know, and here soon I'm going to talk about all the other things that goes into being a content creator. Um, and so remember what I just said about content creation, how mentally draining it can feel.
00:21:39
Speaker
Um, you know, because and a lot of times there's a lot of emotions, you know, and I'm, I'm having to That's why I said earlier, it's like being an actress. I'm really having to tap into something and be my best self, um make sure my voice is on point and I'm speaking perfectly. it's just so It's a lot of energy ah behind it.
00:22:06
Speaker
So with the content, um there also has to be this whole organizational system behind it. So, and that's been a work in progress for me. So I make a file, right?
00:22:21
Speaker
I send it to the customer, but then what do I do with that file? There, I've learned the hard way that there has to be an organized system to how you store your content. Because when, when you start doing it a while, you you start collecting a lot of content that you make. And if it's not organized and your file sharing system, oh my gosh, it's a mess. like And then knowing how to properly title them so when you you can find that file again, you know, so that's a whole process
Creativity and Passion in Adult Content
00:22:57
Speaker
too. For me personally, i use ProtonDrive
00:23:01
Speaker
I have my files sorted like here's Hypno, here is Roleplay, here's JOI, you know, all the different audio. I have a folder for this podcast, you know.
00:23:14
Speaker
And so when I make a file, I create a folder and' say I make a file. Well, we'll just call it the Y series part one. There's a folder that says Y-series part one. and Inside that folder, there's the file.
00:23:27
Speaker
Inside that folder, there is the script. Inside that folder, there are the summary and tags. So for every piece of content, there needs to be a audio summary with tags when you go to post it online.
00:23:44
Speaker
And then also within that folder, there is a preview. There is the cover art. There is a preview in MP4 format.
00:23:55
Speaker
um You know, there's all these all these working pieces to this piece of content. And if that's not all organized, it becomes super, super messy, super messy.
00:24:08
Speaker
And, you know, so that takes time to like making sure there's a system in place for saving that piece of content and then knowing what am I going to do with that content? What am I going to post it?
00:24:23
Speaker
There's a lot that goes into it and I'm going to get more into that later in this episode. But going back tore to the creative process,
00:24:35
Speaker
you know there When I speak to individuals that are like interested in getting into this line of work, I definitely give my advice to treat it like you're nine to five or whatever hours you prefer working.
00:24:52
Speaker
And that's how I do, like my body is in a pretty natural rhythm now. So I don't like set my alarm, but I'm definitely at my computer at the same time every day.
00:25:03
Speaker
You know, I end, it does fluctuate, but I'm at my computer all day long. it It is like a nine to five. And if you aren't doing that, then i don't, you know, your business isn't going to be successful because you're not showing up and you're not creating the content.
00:25:24
Speaker
And because if I miss a day, I'm missing a day of all the other things that i'm going to walk through and tell you about. um And there are days I miss, you know, I have a life. There's days I go out and I have, you know, I have an appointment or whatever. But majority of the time I'm here at my computer.
00:25:45
Speaker
treating this like it's, you know, my job because it is. This is my career right now. ah But there are times, and this is the challenging part, there are times when you don't feel creative.
00:26:03
Speaker
There's times where, and it it doesn't happen happen too often for me, but there have been times where I think about putting on ah hat of being sexy and I'm like, well, you know, I just, I just can't even think about acting sexy, you know, for whatever reason. It's just, it's not there. Or my creative juices aren't flowing. Like I just, like I'd rather sit and do admin work for my business rather than create because I don't know, there may be a block or something.
00:26:42
Speaker
And when that happens, which thankfully is rare, i just don't, I don't record because if I'm not in a sexy mood, if I'm not in a creative mood, that content is not going to be good.
00:26:59
Speaker
It's not going to be my best work and I'd rather not create something that's not my best work. So, you know, and I'm sure there's content creators that struggle with this even more that, and I do hear about that, that And I think about creators that have to be behind the camera. Like, oh my gosh, if I had to, do the full glam makeup and, you know, pick my outfit, that's a lot. That's a lot of ah prepping. Thankfully, like, i just, you know, get dressed for my day like I normally would if I'm working from home and turn on the microphone
00:27:39
Speaker
So no, I'm not sitting here in latex outfit with a crop in my hand. I know. I wish you probably thought it was like that. Actually, I had a really funny comment one time.
00:27:51
Speaker
um a guy was like, I'm just going to pretend like you and a bunch of other doms are sitting in your office like that. plotting how to ruin men and how to dom them. So don't don't correct me. Please just entertain my idea. And I was like, sure.
00:28:11
Speaker
Yes, I'm sitting here in stilettos plotting my my ruin of men. you Sure. um So yeah, so that's the creative process. it's It's a unique one and one that I'm so drawn to.
00:28:27
Speaker
i love being creative. It is so satisfying to me to create something and especially to create something out of nothing. It is just so...
00:28:40
Speaker
it I lack the words for it because here's another thing. I've never really been an artistic person in my life. You know, so when I started doing Hypnophiles, I felt like an artist.
00:28:56
Speaker
Like I felt what artists must feel like because it truly is like... taking pieces and putting them together to make something new and beautiful. And it it's so, it's so rewarding. I love it so much.
00:29:14
Speaker
And I think if, I think if someone were not you know driven by being creative, I don't think this would be the job for them ah because you have to love creating, that's for sure.
00:29:29
Speaker
You have to have some love for it because I've always said this to to other creators that are looking to get into this. I always say that men can tell when you're faking it.
00:29:40
Speaker
they They know it. They can see right through it.
Preview of Future Episodes
00:29:44
Speaker
you know So if you're not into something, don't do it because they're going to tell. there's a piece of authenticity that I think that makes someone a good content creator because I am into the things that I create.
00:30:01
Speaker
I'm personally turned on by them. They interest me. They fascinate me. I want more of it. i love talking about it. And I know that that probably comes out in my content and what makes me successful because...
00:30:19
Speaker
You know, who, sure, Beatrix is, she wears, and I'm going to say me, I wear rolls every day, but behind that roll is me, the woman who I am, who is into the things that I'm saying, who is legitimately turned on when I'm behind the mic,
00:30:45
Speaker
And I think that comes through when you create content. So i actually wasn't planning this. I just looked at the amount of time I've spent um recording and I usually record for 30 minutes. So what I'm going to do is this this is going to be a part two, um a two-part kind of podcast episode, which is which is great. So next time I'm going to talk about,
00:31:14
Speaker
the super non-sexy things, but still interesting things. Next episode, I'm going to talk about the business side of this job. i'm going to talk about audience and interaction.
Listener Interaction and Feedback
00:31:30
Speaker
I'm going to talk about, you know, how I manage burnout or how I avoid it rather, how I protect myself and,
00:31:43
Speaker
And then I'm going to talk about um emotional and personal impact because this job has truly changed my life in really positive ways. This actually, looking at my outline here, this actually might be a three-parter because I'm also going to talk about myths versus reality and finally give advice for aspiring creators so stay tuned for those next parts I think you guys are going to like to hear my honest raw take on you know what it's like to do what I do I'm sure and I'm sorry if you listen to this and I ruin your vision like that I'm
