Get traffic first
Post consistently on Reddit, X and TikTok and link to your page where allowed. No traffic means no sales, however good the content.
Pick one or two channels and be consistent rather than spreading thin.
Convert and message
A full page, a welcome message and well-priced PPV convert visitors into buyers. Reply to fans — messaging drives most income.
Reinvest time into whatever channel converts best.
A realistic path to the first $1,000
Most of the first $1,000 comes from a handful of fans buying PPV and tipping, not a flood of subscribers — so put energy into one promotion channel and into messaging the fans you do get.
Expect weeks, not days, and reinvest your time into whatever channel actually converts. Anyone promising a guaranteed number is selling something; the lever you control is consistent traffic plus real conversation.
