Beyond Fantasy: My Life as an Adult Content Creator Part 2
0 Plays2 seconds ago
In Part 2 of my behind-the-scenes series, I’m diving into the business side of being an adult content creator. I share how I’ve structured my work as a business, the CEO mindset that helps me treat my creativity like a career, and how I present my brand to stand out in a crowded industry. If Part 1 was about the art of creation, this episode is about the strategy that makes it all possible.

Introduction to the 'Slut Next Door' Podcast
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.
Navigating Content Creation and Business Aspects
00:00:43
Speaker
Welcome back to part two of my behind the scenes series on adult content creation. So last time I shared my origin story and I give you a peek into how I actually create the ideas, the tools, and the processes that turn inspiration into a finished piece of work.
00:01:07
Speaker
But today, we're stepping into an entirely different side of my world, the business side. Because being an adult content creator is not just about creativity.
00:01:20
Speaker
It's also about strategy, structure, and showing up with a CEO mindset. I'm going share how I've built my business, how I think about my brand and the systems I use to keep everything running behind the scenes.
00:01:38
Speaker
And of course, we'll talk about one of the most important pieces of the work, the audience, the connection, the real humans on the other side of my screen.
00:01:51
Speaker
I'll share how I approach engaging with fans, what those interactions mean to me, and how I balance intimacy with boundaries. So we can say that part one was about the art and now this part is about the architecture, the business, the brand, and the bond with my audience.
00:02:15
Speaker
So let's go ahead and dive in. So first I'm going to start with talking about the business side and this might be boring. i don't know, but it's important to really show you guys that, you know, what it's like to be an adult content creator. It's not just all fun and games, sadly, but I do enjoy this side of it.
Monetization and Subscription Models
00:02:41
Speaker
This was an and and unexpected side of adult content creation that I thought I would take interest in and like enjoy. And when I say enjoy more so, it's it's fun and it's not even the right word.
00:03:03
Speaker
it is fulfilling to watch a business grow. And it's like the strategy I think that fulfilling enjoyable and fulfilling.
00:03:16
Speaker
So first I'll talk about how monetize because like I said, this is, you know, I'm not going to lie and say that this isn't a business for me. You know, this is my career.
00:03:29
Speaker
Being an adult content creator is what I do. So I'm really giving you a peek behind curtain, so to speak. And letting you know how this is ah business.
00:03:43
Speaker
And I've mentioned this before on the podcast. while While I do monetize my work, it still is something that I put a lot of heart into.
00:03:59
Speaker
and you know, my my business and my brand, who Beatrix is, because big surprise, big spoiler alert, big Beatrix is not my real name.
00:04:12
Speaker
But anyway, Beatrix is me. You know, she she is me. and And I do think that that has led to some success for me because I am genuine.
00:04:27
Speaker
I am absolutely into the content that I make. And I'll kind of talk about um that more in a minute, but right now I'm going to talk about how I do monetize.
00:04:42
Speaker
And if you are not familiar with, you know, who I am and what places I exist on online, this will be for you. If you do know, then this is kind of repetitive, but so just hang in there.
00:04:57
Speaker
Um, I do work off of a subscription model. And what that means is i use loyal fans. So loyal fans is like an only fans.
00:05:11
Speaker
I don't like doing what you know, the majority do. I like being different. And so that's why I joined loyal fans because I was like, fuck OnlyFans. Like that's what everyone's doing. And I didn't ever hear great things about the site either.
00:05:29
Speaker
I have been on Patreon and I was banned. I won't get into that. was very annoying, to be honest. um I did not agree with their decision, but whatever.
00:05:42
Speaker
um so And then I have a something called Subscribestar, which is my backup to loyal fans. So a subscription model... for me, looks a lot different than what a lot of other adult content creators do.
00:06:00
Speaker
um It's what a lot of audio girls do. You subscribe and that subscription price unlocks content that you can't find to anywhere else.
00:06:13
Speaker
And why that's different than most content creators, like say a video clip creator, you know, that's making porn videos, they're, that's really not what they're doing.
00:06:26
Speaker
um I think a lot of their subscription sites are teasing pictures and videos and such, but with an audio creator, like, don't have those pictures and stuff, you know, so the subscription model becomes Almost like when you think about Netflix, you know, if I pay Netflix a certain amount of money every month, I get access to hours upon hours of movies and TV shows.
00:07:01
Speaker
So it's the same thing. um i I've always preferred the subscription model because...
00:07:14
Speaker
You know, it's, I want to be available to, like, I don't want to lock out people because price.
00:07:25
Speaker
And that's just the the kindness in me, that the empath in me. um I love that you can give me a pretty reasonable amount and you can still support me and get some of my content.
00:07:40
Speaker
um You know, so it's kind of like relying on a big group of people to help you be successful in your business rather than relying on individual sales.
00:07:56
Speaker
And how to decide like, you know, what's worth it. Like, i feel like if I were to talk to other adult content creators, especially ones that aren't audio creators, they would be like, no, no, I would never do a subscription model. I actually have a friend that does video and she always says I'm never going to be a subscription girly.
00:08:20
Speaker
I think she says it. Because it's just, like I said, i think it's because, you know, if I were to create videos, I'm going to have selfies. I'm going to have little teasing clips that I can post in a subscription site.
00:08:38
Speaker
So as an audio I'm going to have video. You know, I guess I could post little voice teasers or something, but there's more to work with when you're a visual artist and doing a subscription site.
00:08:49
Speaker
um But, you know, I think a lot of video girls and I've seen a lot of, you know, because I'm a part of some communities online that are for adult content creators, I've And I think a lot of creators have the mindset that, you know, no, you never get anything for free.
00:09:08
Speaker
You know, someone always has to be paying you. And while I do get that, like I get that thinking And i get that you think that, oh, well, if they pay this low amount, they're getting all this content.
00:09:24
Speaker
Like I get that thinking. But, you know, i know from doing research that this is how, you know, very top performing audio creators work.
00:09:37
Speaker
Audio creators that perform well above me monetarily. This is how they set up their business. And that's kind of like when I first started doing audio work, I would study what top performers were doing.
00:09:54
Speaker
In terms of where they're posting, how much they're charging, you know, what what would be behind that subscription. You know, i really looked at that because I found that to be market research, you know. um And so that is just what audio girlies do it that we do a lot of subscription models.
00:10:17
Speaker
And that is what works for me. And I enjoy offering that. While i also have on the other side, i did start doing this year where I posted the same files that are behind the subscription price.
00:10:34
Speaker
I posted them on clip stores. So if you don't know what a clip store is, um it's like I want clips or clips for sale. They are sites that, you know, independent creators, even porn studios can post videos, clips, and, you know, users can buy them for a certain price.
00:10:58
Speaker
I did not anticipate that these sites would be So great for me. And they really, really have. They have opened up a whole new fan base, you know, because you have you have people on these sites that are just starving for content within their preferences.
00:11:18
Speaker
And so you've got fetishists that are that are there and and hungry for whatever they're looking for. And so it's been good for that. And it's been good for adding to the overall monthly revenue coming in.
00:11:35
Speaker
It just created a little bit more work and that, you know, I had to physically upload and post that stuff as well. And I know that some other creators would say, well, why don't you just have a clip store and the subscription site, you know, like all your content goes in the clip store. Yeah.
00:11:56
Speaker
Again, i get that i get that line of thinking, but I'm just curious if clip store selling would make me the same amount of money I'm making now with the subscription model. I don't know if it would match.
00:12:17
Speaker
Because like I said, that's just what audio fans are used to doing. They're used to paying a certain amount of months and getting content for that price. That's just how it is.
Custom Content and Audience Connection
00:12:30
Speaker
um Another way that I am monetizing my brand, my business, is i do offer customs. And specifically to Unloyal Fans, I started a last year offering personalizations, which is where I take an existing...
00:12:52
Speaker
hypnophile and i go in and I edit well not edit I redo some of the whispery background layers I redo them with the fan's name so if your name is John and you ordered a personalization of cuddle and trance with Goon Mommy.
00:13:16
Speaker
I'm going to go in and I'm going to create this whole new layer where i'm saying, you know, deeper, John. Yes, John, you know.
00:13:27
Speaker
And they're somewhere I'm like moaning your name. They turn out to be such special experiences. I'm telling you, sometimes when I go back and listen to it after I'm done editing, I'm like, this is so fucking cool. Like I can't imagine hearing my name in this way.
00:13:48
Speaker
um So anyways... I do offer customs and personalizations. And that is a way that i monetize. It is a way to help support me. And i think I mentioned this in the other episode.
00:14:02
Speaker
I'm pretty much commission based at this point. So, you know, someone will come to me and say, hey, I want a custom for x y z And I'm like, great, let's do it.
00:14:14
Speaker
You know, they pay me for the custom, I create it, I deliver it to them, give them their time with it. And then eventually that clip becomes something that goes into my loyal fan site, my subscribe star, and it also gets posted on clips for sale or I want clips.
00:14:34
Speaker
So that you know, that that custom ends up supporting me a lot. m You know, and it this really has been a fantastic way to run my business. And it does have some drawbacks though because I am doing a lot of content that is that is custom. Now, I do use names and customs and I do edit them out.
00:15:02
Speaker
um before I post them but I think the drawback to this is that I do have a lot of things that I want to do like I have a lot of ideas myself and like okay so the why series that's all me that was not commission-based that was something that I wanted to create for Beatrix and I created it and, you know, my customs just got pushed to the side that week, for example.
00:15:34
Speaker
um So eventually once I get where I want to be, I'll probably back away from customs a bit. Right now it just, it works for me and I mean, I gotta admit, sometimes like these customs, they turn out to be files that are so fucking good. Like I've always said this, ever since I started doing sex work, like you guys have the best ideas, like the best.
00:16:06
Speaker
Like sometimes I'm like, oh my God, that's so brilliant. Like this gonna be such a good file. um So that that is a pro to it. But I do know that I'm sure that some of my fans probably get a bit annoyed because they're like, oh, my gosh, I wish she would do more of this. But, you know, sometimes I just get a flood of certain type of files, and that's what ends up getting, you know, pushed out. It's just unfortunately how it is right now.
00:16:36
Speaker
But like I said, I i i very much cannot wait until the point that I do get where I – Maybe just take some customs and most of it is me and my ideas.
00:16:53
Speaker
And let me talk about customs for a minute because they they really are like I love doing them. I'm be honest. When I did my first one, I can remember the very first one I did, i immediately fell in love because I was getting to make someone's fantasy come alive. Like that was very, very exciting for me.
00:17:16
Speaker
And I still love doing customs, love them. But they are, they can be challenging, i think for some other creators because it does take ah what like a lot of thinking actually you're taking someone's words right what they think they want and then you have to take those words and turn it into something that is accurate to what they want and you know I've learned what questions to ask um I call them trigger words when I say trigger words I mean arousal trigger words so like
00:18:01
Speaker
words that really like trigger you in the best way like when you hear them oh my god they turn you so horny um so anyway taking a custom request and unpacking that and then trying to figure out what they want that is I think a skill and luckily I have that skill naturally i don't know what it is um Again, i'm going to bring in, maybe it's the empath in me. I'm not sure, but that is a challenge. And I think what some other creators do struggle with is, you know, knowing what, what the hell is this guy asking me to do? I don't know.
00:18:45
Speaker
ah um For me, that's always been an easy thing for me to do. So luckily, because I do love doing customs.
00:18:57
Speaker
Now let's talk about the free content. And again, i know that other adult content creators would hear that and be like, oh my God, free? What are you talking about?
Utilizing Free Content and Social Media Outreach
00:19:13
Speaker
Yes, i I do post out free content, full length free content. And I do account this to my success.
00:19:27
Speaker
I do. I've always had the thought, like when I first started doing this, I believe that like porn is saturated. There's so much porn out there.
00:19:39
Speaker
Even audios. You can go out and find audio after audio after audio. So, I've always kind of thought in my mind, how do I stand out?
00:19:49
Speaker
You know, how do I stand out in this oversaturated world? Well, if someone listens to my file and I make them come,
00:20:03
Speaker
and I make them come well, like, you know, I make it a very memorable experience, my thinking is that they're always going to come back. You they're going to have me in their mind.
00:20:15
Speaker
So i ah I've said this more than once, like if men know how you make them come and they know it's good, they're going to come back for more.
00:20:28
Speaker
So that was kind of my thinking in the beginning. and Also, in the beginning, i you know, how am I supposed to get my name out there if all I'm pushing out is a little 30 second teaser?
00:20:45
Speaker
You know, sure, they can hear my voice, but... that I feel like people want to know. They want to know more. They want to know, okay, well, I mean, how are you going to make me come?
00:20:59
Speaker
How do you set up this hypnosis file? Are you good at putting me into trans? You know? So I feel like free content for me and my business has been great because it lets people know like my skill level and lets them know if I am their style, you know, because I'm not going to fit for every person who likes hypno.
00:21:26
Speaker
some Some hypno creators fit for this person while this other person, it's not going to fit for them. you know We all have different tastes and different whatever.
00:21:37
Speaker
So another way that free content works is that it works as a marketing strategy that I don't really have to do much with. you know I don't have to actively...
00:21:51
Speaker
market that free content if I post it on Pornhub or if I post it on Reddit it's going to be there as long as my account is up and it's going to get traffic no matter what you know um so it acts as a way to promote myself and And, you know, if I'm thinking like a businesswoman, a CEO, I want people to know that I have a quality product.
00:22:25
Speaker
You know, I don't want them to hear this dinky little 30 second audio that, you know, it's cheap. I want them to know that when they come for more, that's just going to be even better.
00:22:39
Speaker
And, you know, the other thing is that I do have a heart for people. Like I have been in the place where you can't afford anything extra. So, you know, with that being said, like pushing out free content, I'm happy. Like I'm happy that someone presses play on my files. Sure, I love making money, but I also love what I do.
00:23:02
Speaker
And again, i think some of my success comes from that genuine nature behind me. um Another thing is that online sex work world is very saturated.
00:23:17
Speaker
And unfortunately, it's very saturated with people that look at others as just wallets. You know, i see this person online. How can I make money from them? How much money can I make from them? And that's all they see.
00:23:33
Speaker
and That's fine. But like, I'm in this for the long haul. I want to be good at this. I want to build a brand that is sustainable and that I can be proud of.
00:23:46
Speaker
And so I see people, a listener or a fan as more than someone that has a potential wallet. And if there's someone out there that can't afford even $5, you know, they can barely ah give out a dollar, you know, they're that broke, I'm happy that I have a piece of content that they can listen to and feel good with.
00:24:15
Speaker
I'm happy with that, you know. come from... i
00:24:21
Speaker
i come from an upbringing where it's really rude to talk about money so that always has stuck with me even now and so i will never ever tell you guys how much money I make I feel like that's very like gross yeah it's very gross um but I i do not it's not bad.
00:24:51
Speaker
I am, I am making more money than I ever have in my life. And I'm not saying I had like crappy job. I had like decent jobs.
00:25:02
Speaker
Um, you know, but if you're in America, you know that it's super hard nowadays, especially nowadays to survive even on like pretty decent income.
00:25:13
Speaker
Um, but i I put out free content and I'm not doing a bad job. I'll just put it that way.
00:25:27
Speaker
So, you know, it's, um I think it's crucial. It's worked for my business, you know, it may not work for someone else and that's totally fine.
00:25:38
Speaker
Anything I ever say on here is never like this, this is how it should be. I'm doing it right. No, this is like my journey and what's worked well for me. um Going back to the business side of things, you know, you've also got social media.
00:25:56
Speaker
um I personally, the social media I use is Twitter and Reddit because unfortunately those are the places that are at least a little bit friendly to the kind of content I make.
00:26:10
Speaker
So Instagram and TikTok, i've I do have hopes and dreams and I actually started accounts there, but I don't have anything on it yet. need time to figure that out, but that's perfect example of how...
00:26:27
Speaker
you know, this is a business, you know, I have to think about how do I reach people, you know, um and these are the ways that I reach people. Like, for example, Twitter.
00:26:38
Speaker
I'm hoping that anything that is on my Twitter reaches someone who's never heard of me. or on Reddit, when I post a piece of free content, I hope that reaches someone that's never heard of me.
00:26:51
Speaker
And hopefully, They want more and it funnels them to my subscription model or my clip stores. But, you know, I'm...
00:27:04
Speaker
on social media, you have to create content. You're having to to post things. You're having to pay attention to it. um Sometimes even answer messages in there ah from people that aren't trying to waste your time, of course. But, you know, so that's a whole juggling thing there.
00:27:24
Speaker
And then also keep a mind from the part one of this, along with the social media, along with the uploading the clip stores, along with the, you know, maintaining my subscription model, I am also having to write scripts.
Complexities of Adult Content Creation
00:27:42
Speaker
I'm also spending sometimes hours at the mic editing and recording.
00:27:49
Speaker
So, you know, I hope by the end of this little series I'm doing that you'll see like how the fuck does she do all this? I don't know. i mean, I do i do know how how I do it, but that's my goal is to try to paint that picture to show that adult content creation, you know, isn't just a and let's just say I was a visual artist, it isn't just flash your tits and you make money. It's way, way, way, way way more than that.
00:28:18
Speaker
um And I think that is a misconception that people think, oh, that has to be the easiest job. Oh, you just sit in front of a mic and moan. No, no, that is not all I do.
00:28:30
Speaker
at all. um You know, and one of you had a fantastic question about how i schedule my time or how I keep track of everything. So that has been a work in progress. And I feel like I've finally reached a level that is very professional and very effective.
00:28:54
Speaker
So I used to have like actual notebooks I would write in because I've always been a planner person. I love having a planner. I love writing in a planner, but that wasn't working out for me very well.
00:29:07
Speaker
And so i took some time to develop skills and knowledge on how to use Notion. ah Notion is...
00:29:19
Speaker
Gosh, I don't even know what to call it Like I know some people use, um like you can build,
00:29:28
Speaker
I don't know what to call it actually, but notion is like, here's how I use it. Notion, i have a calendar. have multiple calendars actually.
00:29:39
Speaker
i have a content calendar that kind of lays out what I'm going to post throughout the month and And then I have Beatrix planner calendar, which lays out kind of like my recording schedule. So like knowing what day I'm going to record this.
00:30:01
Speaker
I also use Notion to track customs. So anytime I take a custom on, I have this this table or this database of the username, how long the custom is.
00:30:15
Speaker
So on and so forth. I also use Notion to hold my catalog of audios. So I put in there like the title, the description, the tags, the link to it, like where it can be found.
00:30:31
Speaker
And it's available for anyone to see because the great thing about Notion is you can create a public link to it, to whatever it is, the database that you created.
00:30:46
Speaker
I have this whole like library of docs. And so when I say docs, like within Notion, you can create documents like a Word doc basically.
00:30:58
Speaker
But it's not a Word doc. I shouldn't call it that. it's And it's basically like a note, just like a blank note that you can put anything into.
00:31:10
Speaker
So um i have this library of docs that is so valuable to me. it has, i'm actually going to open it up here on my computer so I can give you an example. So it's got like important links that I wanted to save. it has a weekly plan. So like I came up with this library plan of how I wanted to approach my subscription site, loyal fans. So I kind of like note what I want to do during the week.
00:31:40
Speaker
I have my list of improv um audios and docs. I have a little document called ideas So if I have like something I thought of during the day, I just jot it down real quick in there.
00:31:56
Speaker
um All kinds of things. I have finance stuff in there Just all kinds of things. um But the calendars are what are so crucial to me um because...
00:32:15
Speaker
you have to stay organized. Like once you really start becoming established as a content creator, are just flooded with so many things. Like it it can get a little overwhelming and if you were not organized, it would all crumble.
00:32:34
Speaker
It seriously would all crumble. Um, so, you know, I found notion and it has just been a godsend for me in terms of organization, because that was the other thing is I'm a very organized person, but before notion,
00:32:54
Speaker
I had everything everywhere. So what I mean by that is I was, ah had documents and Google Drive. I had important stuff written written down a, you know, a notebook on my desk.
00:33:11
Speaker
I had the sticky notes, like ah the ones on the computer, like the the app, whatever, where you have like sticky notes on your screen.
00:33:21
Speaker
I had important stuff on there. I just had like stuff everywhere and that was driving me bonkers. And so what I like about Notion and is it allows me to have everything and one place.
00:33:34
Speaker
Love it. Um, so that's how I schedule my time, um basically. And, you know, uh, I'm tripping up because this is something that I want to improve on. Like,
00:33:54
Speaker
I wish I could say that, hey, on this day from 9 12, I'm doing X, Y, Z. And then on this next day, i do this from 2 to 3.
00:34:07
Speaker
I've tried that before and it just didn't work out for me. I know that there's some creators that spend one day recording content and then the next day is spent editing that content and the next day is spent doing that.
00:34:25
Speaker
I just can't do that. When I record, it takes a lot out of me mentally, to be honest. And so like to to imagine sitting there one day a week recording for hours is
00:34:41
Speaker
I know I would create shitty content. I know I would. So a lot of days I'm recording almost every day of the week and you know I'll record something and then I'll work on editing. But what I have what i have done recently is every Friday i have set aside time to where I'm doing admin work. I'm doing all the ah things like you know, juggling all the balls, if so to speak.
00:35:12
Speaker
um Basically where I'm just, I'm doing everything except content creation. And that's been working really well. Although then this past Friday, I just started doing it and I still did record a tiny little audio on Friday.
00:35:29
Speaker
Just couldn't help myself. um So that's how schedule my time. and And then just showing up consistently. that That just is always my advice to new creators, show up every day.
00:35:46
Speaker
You know, even if you're not in that sexy mood and you cannot create content, still show up because there is always something to do always something to learn.
00:35:57
Speaker
There's so many things, you know. um so yeah, and so then i wanted to hit on kind of how I developed this business side because honestly, like my jobs before adult content creation were not business focused.
Developing Business Acumen and Brand Authenticity
00:36:21
Speaker
Like I did not go to school for business.
00:36:25
Speaker
So this has been something i have developed. I have developed this skill through adult content creation. i mean, that right there, that should be the slogan of of this little series. Like,
00:36:41
Speaker
Creating sexy audios, right? Making men come, I'll just put it that way, has taught me business skills, okay? Anyway, um so when I first started out doing this work, I bought this book that I found on Amazon because I'm a learner. I like to learn everything, right?
00:37:05
Speaker
Before I do something, because it's important for me to feel confident before I start doing something. So I had purchased, I'm not going to remember the name of it exactly, but it's by Amber Lee.
00:37:20
Speaker
um, Rothfield, I think is her name. Um, and she wrote a book, how I made $10,000 in a month or something like that on night flirt, something, the title, something like that.
00:37:36
Speaker
Um, but her book was so, I still use and think about that book to this day, and I read it years ago.
00:37:49
Speaker
So something that I really took away from from her book is she had suggested that you find, I believe hers was four niches.
00:38:03
Speaker
But find four areas, niches that you create content in that you are a master of. And you just fill those buckets.
00:38:16
Speaker
That's all you do. You know, you never not have content to do because you can just say, oh I'm going to go fill that bucket. And that has worked really well for me. And and the thing about it is that The idea behind it.
00:38:35
Speaker
Let's take cuckold, for example. If I say, okay, something I specialize in one of my niches is cuckold. All the cuckold fans in the world are going to probably, and let me let me say that again, all the cuckold fans that are fans of erotic audio should know my name if I do things right.
00:39:03
Speaker
Because when when people are fans of something, Typically, they want to devour everything about it.
00:39:17
Speaker
And so, you know, that's what your're you're pulling those hardcore fans within the niche, you know, and if you're making quality content, they're going to be fans for life.
00:39:30
Speaker
And that's another thing I pulled from her. is that, you know, I would say a lot of things in her book taught you kind of like a business mindset, which I did. I had nothing like nothing of a business mindset. had no clue how to run my own business.
00:39:49
Speaker
um But, you know, she really pushed that you want a forever fan, like you want that lifelong fan that that's always going to be there to support you.
00:40:02
Speaker
You know, just like... um I don't know, Walmart wants you to always shop at their store because you save money there.
00:40:13
Speaker
You like how there's never a surprise in what you buy. There's trusted brands. You know, it's the same thing. You want someone that they know when they come to me that they're going to get high quality erotic audios, you know.
00:40:32
Speaker
um So that's something that I have really pulled from her that I think about all the time. And here's another example, the niche. you know So I would say that my niches are this.
00:40:48
Speaker
Femdom isn't a niche because that's like too wide. There's a lot of things that fall under the femdom umbrella. So my niches would be erotic hypnosis,
00:41:01
Speaker
Gooning, mommy dom, cuckold. A recent one, premature ejaculation.
00:41:13
Speaker
am I forgetting a big one? and think those are the yeah those are the main the main ones. And so the one I wanted to bring up is premature ejaculation.
00:41:26
Speaker
i that this has been a new niche for me. and I've thought about Amberlee's book so much because when I started making content within that kink, I started to see a lot of growth.
00:41:47
Speaker
And then I, you know, created more content in that niche and started growing even more growth. And I literally witnessed, you know, pre-Jack fans freak flocking to me.
00:42:02
Speaker
And it's just, ah it's a example of hitting a niche and hitting it well. And, you know, one of the pieces of advice I would give, and I'm sure Amber Lee did in her book,
00:42:19
Speaker
You know, you don't ever pick a niche that you're not passionate about because you're going to be talking about it every single day, day in and day out. It has to be something that you like.
00:42:31
Speaker
It has to be something that you're knowledgeable into. And if you aren't knowledgeable, you better you better start studying. You know, you have to know every corner of that kink. You have to know...
00:42:47
Speaker
Like, for example, gooning. i think that if you're going to hit that niche hard and well, you have to know how to speak to goon encouragement, gooner humiliation, pornosexuals, CEI, edging, denial. You have to know everything about that kink, you know.
00:43:12
Speaker
um So that has been... at the core of of my brand for sure. And why, you know, if you go back to my one of my Mommy Dom podcast episodes, I've always been mommy. I can't, I couldn't get away from it if I tried because that is, you know, that mommy Dom energy is me.
00:43:38
Speaker
and And again, Beatrix is me. I can't stress that enough. I am who is in those audios. Yes, I may play a role and amp up,
00:43:52
Speaker
who I am because, you know, it's content, but I am there. Trust me. And then lastly, within the business side of things, I wanted to talk about how this has been a major shift for me personally in my adult content creation business is is thinking that I am ah CEO and knowing that I am because I am ah see ah CEO.
00:44:27
Speaker
And I learned this idea from ah wonderful woman that helps other online sex workers. Her name is Melrose Michaels. She is lovely. Sex work CEO. um she I can have her to thank for that because...
00:44:45
Speaker
You know, when I started thinking that way that, yes, I am a CEO. I am a bad fucking bitch. um But just thinking like, you know, I make the decisions.
00:44:57
Speaker
I am my boss. i I need to make decisions like a CEO. I need to treat my time like a CEO. need to You know, that really was a game changer for me and really boosted my confidence, to be honest, because I i can look back on this and this career and i can it feels like a whirlwind. And it ah a lot of times I can think back and think I'm on the edge of my seat all the time figuring things out.
00:45:37
Speaker
And when I stopped for a second and I thought, look at what I'm doing. i built, I built a brand, you know,
00:45:49
Speaker
and I'm building something that people come back to, and you know, to give myself that credit was really important for me on this journey.
00:46:05
Speaker
And, you know, i I feel like I keep repeating this, but, you know, if you're listening to this and you're a fan you might be thinking, i i don't know, i might imagine you might think that, know,
00:46:21
Speaker
oh, well, you know, she's just selling a brand. And yes, I am I'm selling. am the brand.
00:46:33
Speaker
You know, Beatrix Vale is the brand. And guess what? I Beatrix Vale. Beatrix Vale is me. um No, but it's.
00:46:48
Speaker
It's just a mental switch that happened for me that felt really important um on my journey. And, you know, with selling a brand, it's important to feel confident and ensure that you're selling and presenting ah trustworthy brand, a brand that feels like a luxury, if you will, instead of
00:47:24
Speaker
you know, a store-bought brand. um You know, you want your brand to to be this, something you can be proud of, you know? And so, yeah, that's been a big thing for me and I'm very, very proud to present it in that way to to you guys um to let you know that I do think that way.
00:47:50
Speaker
And yeah. Mommy is a CEO, baby. um So the funny thing is that i had planned to talk about audience and interaction in this episode. And guess what? I have blabbered my mouth 20 more minutes than wanted to. So now I will be creating a part three that will just be audience and interaction. Yeah.
00:48:20
Speaker
I, my goodness, I just get in front of this mic sometimes and I just can't stop talking. But here's why. I feel so passionate about what I do.
00:48:33
Speaker
i really do. I fucking love what I do. And I could just sit here and talk about it for hours. And that's what I'm doing in all these parts. But that, you know, that's why these are ending up.
00:48:47
Speaker
Like seriously, if you listen to part one, i had this plan that I was fitting all all the things in one episode. And I have no idea why I thought I could do that.
00:48:59
Speaker
But I think it's because i get i get on this microphone and I have an audience that I know will listen and i can't stop talking about how much I love what I do.
00:49:14
Speaker
And
00:49:17
Speaker
I hope that this has been or that this is becoming something that's interesting to hear me talk about it because, you know, if you're a fan of mine, you hear me talk a lot, but usually it's in a very sexy way. So, um you know, if you're like me, I can see why you would have a curiosity and, you know, how i do what I do,
00:49:42
Speaker
And I hope that you can also see why do I do. what i do you know, why I do things a certain way. Because now you see my mindset.
00:49:55
Speaker
But I'm going to wrap things up here. And then next week, I will talk about ah very crucial part of...
00:50:07
Speaker
this business of my adult content creator business, the audience and the interaction. It is arguably one of the most important pieces of this whole picture and one that I just cherish and adore and I'm just going to say I have the best, the best fans. I will fight anyone. i do. Okay.
