This article is for budding adult content creators and seasoned veterans alike and it will help you boost the amount of sellable content you can produce. If you're just starting out then you'll want to decide what type of services you'll offer and what sort of content you will sell, if you've already taken the leap then it could be time to consider expanding your repertoire. Here's a brief list of the different types of sex work that you can do online, from the comfort of your own home. You can even do it in your pyjamas, if you want to.

SELLING NUDES

'How do I sell my nudes?' is one of the most Googled questions, so it should come as no surprise that it's the most popular option. If you have high-quality photos then you can sell them! There are many different ways you can do this: you can sell them through a dedicated site that will take a percentage of your sales price, such as clip sites and paid social media subscription sites. If you want to cut out the middle man, you can create you or own site through which to sell them, sell subscriptions to a Dropbox account or sell subscriptions to your SnapChat Premium.

PRE-MADE VIDEOS

Pre-made videos are another great option and there are dozens of websites that will allow you to upload and sell your video content. You don't even need to do nude or lewd videos to make a profit in this area, as many sexual fetishes and niches don't necessarily involve nudity (such as foot fetishes). Check out a few of these clip sites and explore the different content available for some great ideas to inspire you. Pre-made videos are good because they are quick and easy to set up and they give you the option to make money in your sleep.

CUSTOM CONTENT

Do you take requests? You should! Creating custom content may take a little extra work to make, but you can charge a bit more when a customer wants a bespoke product - be it photos, videos, audio or written smut. Of course, there are ways to cut out the middle man - but it can be quicker and easier to use a platform that already has this feature built-in. Remember to always check your inboxes for requests, you don't want to miss an opportunity.

AUDIO

If you don't want to show your face and potentially reveal your identity online, then pre-made audio is a fantastic option. The most popular types of audio are JOI, mind control, and hypnosis and you'll find many sites that allow you to upload audio. When it comes to inspiration, just look at what other people are up to (but NEVER copy, because it's illegal AND fucked up). Just get inspiration and either write your own scripts or get someone to write one for you.

LIVE CAM SHOWS

Live webcam shows are perhaps the most popular way to make money from online sex work. There are hundreds of sites that allow you to offer this kind of service, so if you have time to dedicate and the confidence to give live performances you can make a lot of money, quite quickly. There are plenty of ways to stand out from the crowd and loads of resources to help you succeed.

LIVE PHONE SHOWS

Although it's still live work, phone sex differs greatly from live cam shows; as all you have to work with is your voice and sound effects. You will need to be creative, chatty, and inventive. Though it can be a daunting field to enter, there are some particularly great books that tell you step-by-step how to start your phone sex operator career and make a shit ton of money just from talking. The best book on this subject is 'How I made $10000 a month as a Phone Sex Operator' by Amberly Rothfield.

SELLING USED ITEMS

This niche area is often overlooked, which is a bit silly because you can make LOADS of extra cash for your business by selling worn or used items. You can sell all sorts of physical products, such as used underwear, clothing, and other items like used toothbrushes. There are a lot of dedicated sites and it’s honestly much easier than setting up your own store—with the added benefit of keeping your address and your identity a secret. You can do it all yourself, but you would have to get a post box and handle your own payment system.

SEXY WRITING

If you're a creative writer, you can make extra money writing erotica and 'real life' stories. You can sell access to your blogs or create e-book; as well as selling blog views and PDF files through a selling platform. What's more, you can use this piece of writing to create more content, such as audio and video readings.

ADULT AFFILIATES

You can get paid just for promoting other adult websites! If you are a dab hand at affiliate marketing, you'll find a selection of affiliate sites that are dedicated to adult services. If you're not familiar with affiliate marketing, don't fret - you can learn quickly and easily.
