Being an adult content creator on the internet these days is much like being a pop star in the
80s and 90s. In fact, some pop stars today use the same technique. They create an identity that
goes beyond the appearance that nature gave them. They use outfits, hairstyles, and aesthetics
to associate themselves with certain subcultures so that they can capitalize on fans who already
adhere to those spheres. And you can do that too for your business as an adult content creator.
No matter if you’re shooting videos or porn pics, your fans should be able to recognize you
even when your face is blurred out. I’ve been writing about porn for about two decades. I’ve
seen how things evolved and how certain mainstream tricks were adopted by independent
creators. And I’m here to encourage you to do the same through this short guide on how to
create a signature look in porn.
Pick A Visual Identity
Your identity is very important when you want to establish a fan base in the porn world. It’s just
like the categories on PornHub. Some guys mainly watch MILF porn while others watch 18+
teen porn. And it’s not always about the age. It is also about the visual identity that you create
for yourself. And that should be on par with both your body type and your persona. If you are a
skinny, cute, and innocent girl, you can play into the teen 18+ side of porn even if you’re in your
early 30s. At the same time, if you are a tall and curvy woman, you can delve into the MILF
zone even if you’re in your late 20s.
Besides a visual identity, you can also get yourself some accessories and sex toys that can
become your signature. I know many girls who are popular for wearing buttplug tails. Girls who
wear collars are also popular. You can wear glasses, as the niche is not saturated yet. And if
you want to get into toys, go for the extra-large and funky-looking ones. The more colorful, the
better. All guys will remember the creator who uses a purple tentacle dildo in her videos.
There are plenty of other visual identities that you can choose for yourself. What’s popular on
OnlyFans and similar platforms these days is the gamer-girl archetype. If you’re a bit of a nerd
and you’re willing to act like an anime character, you will get lots of fans. Another archetype that
works on OnlyFans is the sporty girl. As long as you go to the gym and you have some tight
leggings, you’re going to fit right in. The mistress is another visual identity that you can adopt.
But be careful with the content, as a lot of BDSM easily gets flagged on OnlyFans. Other visual
identities that work these days are the housewife, the hotwife, the elegant and sophisticated
lady, or the emo chick. Yes, emo girls are making a comeback.
Use Accessories And Toys That People Remember
Pick An Overarching Kink
If you’re not a fetish creator, such as a feet fetish OnlyFans model, you can choose a kink to go
back to every now and then while still creating content from all the other niches. A signature kink
will keep a part of your followers loyal. The secret to choosing a kink is not to choose it too
early. What you should do is build an audience first and then pay close attention to the kinks
they like the most. Obviously, you should try some before you settle on one. Once you know
your audience, choose a signature kink to go back to whenever you feel like you’re out of ideas.
Your fans will go crazy once you upload yet another video for the kink that they love. Post such
a video once a month, tease them with pornpics, and you’ll keep them interested in your
content.
