Navigating the Social Media Maze as a Model – What Works for You?

Social media can be a total goldmine for models looking to build their brand, increase their fanbase, and enhance earnings. However, with so many sites, algorithms, and ever-evolving rules, it can also feel like a maze.I wanted to start a conversation on what’s actually working for you when it comes to marketing yourself online. Whether you’re on Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, or whatever, we all have our own methods, and sharing might help us all here.

Here are some significant topics to get you started:
Twitter
  • Do you believe Twitter is the most suitable platform to engage with fans?
  • Do you use it mainly for promotions & links, or do you post personal/lifestyle material as well?
  • Do you notice more activity if you post daily versus every other day?
Instagram
  • How do you safeguard your IG account without undermining the promotion of your job?
  • Do you use a separate account for modeling versus personal content?
  • Any tips on gaining more engagement despite IG's strict content guidelines?
Reddit
  • Do you find NSFW subreddit posting beneficial for traffic?
  • How often do you post, and which subreddits do you find most effective?
  • Do you direct-link your content, or do you use Redgifs for previews?
TikTok
  • Have you considered using TikTok for safe-for-work promotions?
  • Do teasing (but not explicit) videos suffice to gain new fans?
  • Ever had an account suspended, and how did you recover?
Community Engagement
  • Do you engage with fans on Telegram, Discord, or other social media?
  • Have you established a private fan community, and is it helping with loyalty & sales?
  • What's the best way of turning a social media fan into a paying fan?

At the end of the day, social media isn't one-size-fits-all. What's going to work for one model isn't going to work for another, but if we can share what's working (or not working!), we can all navigate this maze together. So what's your experience? Which platforms are performing best for you currently?
