What is an adult content creator?

Adult content creators are individuals who create, produce, curate, and upload content for adult audiences. This content can be shared in the form of photos, videos, games, or writing and is often sexual. Really, the world’s your oyster here! There are numerous ways to creatively entertain your audience. Think cosplay, ASMR videos or audios, weaving enthralling stories with your words, or what have you!

As it turns out, people are rather fond of exclusive, explicit content by their favourite creators. The outcome? New platforms and creators catering to this audience are booming, and it isn’t stopping any time soon. This is a rapidly growing industry, having already surpassed $100 billion last year, as numerous creators are finding success and financial stability through their work here.

As an adult content creator, you get to share your work with a wider audience while connecting with your fans on MintStars. You sit back and solely focus on creating quality content and interaction, while we have your back against worries about piracy, chargebacks, unfair censorship, and fluctuating algorithms. The best part? Your royalties keep making the dough for you in the background.

Even though over 200 million creators have found a good space for themselves here, it is vital that you look out for yourself and take all the necessary measures to make this a smooth-sailing experience for you, abiding by the laws in your country of residence and your personal safety.

How do I become an adult content creator?

1. Know the risks and rights of being an adult content creator:

Let’s start with the basics. Although it’s way more common and acceptable to be an adult content creator these days, it isn’t without its risks and accountabilities, and we can’t ignore the possibility of it still being stigmatized. You’d be wise to thicken your skin against any possible judgement coming from not just strangers on the internet but also your friends and family.

But more importantly, acquaint yourself with the statutory or national laws that govern the production and distribution of adult content. To be safe and sure, it may also be wise to have a lawyer explain it all to you to protect you from unauthorised distribution of anything you create. Know the ramifications, and better yet, know your rights.

2. Narrow down your niche and style:

You can decide on a niche and select your platform depending on your level of comfort. If you want to record yourself gaming and share your views, you go to Twitch. But if you’d rather post photos and videos of you cosplaying as your favourite anime characters, you’ll thrive on MintStars and OnlyFans. 

Don’t let your niche limit you though. It’s more of an anchor to stay on a pre-designed path, but you can always get creative. Belle Delphine primarily posts adult content but every now and then switches it up with some gaming and cosplay. You can also have a different online persona, along with a pseudonym to go with it, in case you want to protect your identity. F1NN5TER is a man who cross-dresses as a pretty woman and streams himself playing games, garnering quite a substantial following for it. Many of his supporters are cross-dressers themselves and identify with this quirk. So, be assured, whatever your niche, you’ll find your audience as long as you keep creating scintillating content and connecting with your community.

Study your competition across different platforms and offer something they’re missing out on. You’ll get subscriptions, but the only way they’ll stay and return is if you’re offering something even slightly edgy and unique. Add your own twists to it; learn as you go!

3. Invest in high-quality:

You don't achieve high-quality content by merely having a high-end camera or the best software. If you can’t yet buy the latest camera phone or the best streaming screen for streaming, find other ways to improve your skills that will compensate for the unpolished quality. Take lessons on lighting, angles, and editing, and switch up your wit to give your content that edge and keep your audience hooked. If you can’t upgrade your weaknesses, strengthen your strengths.

4. Build a strong presence and connection:

Have you ever wondered why people might want to pay for adult content when there are thousands and thousands of websites making it available to everyone for free? Because exclusivity feels like a privilege. For your followers, knowing who you are and getting access to the VIPs Only section of your account is nothing short of exhilarating.

Connect with your followers across different platforms. Stay connected and express your gratitude to the people who invest in you, but do not limit your communication to only your paid subscriptions. Yes, save your Tier 1 content for paying subscribers, but give some love away for free to your online fam anyway.

5. Roll with the trends and adapt to survive:

Since this is a rapidly growing industry and comparison is easier than ever, it’s important to stay on top of your game. Even as you stay true to your unique style, don’t be afraid to experiment for fun and try new trends. Treat this as any other opportunity for growth and see where a little healthy competition takes you. You never know what will stick and become the next hit on your account!
