5 common mistakes content creators make – Part 1!
Do you love creating content but sometimes struggle along the way? You’re not alone! Starting out on Tempted can feel exciting, but it’s easy to get caught up in chasing success and overlook some common mistakes. The good news? They are easy to fix once you know what to watch out for.
Here’s our list of the most common pitfalls content creators face, and how you can avoid them!
This is just the first part. Stay tuned for the second part coming soon!
Waiting to have Fans to upload content
Even if you don’t have Fans yet, start uploading photos, videos, or galleries to keep your Profile active and inviting. And whenever you update your Profile, make sure to share it—either on social media or with a Broadcast Message on Tempted—to let your audience know what’s new!
Not promoting your content on social media
One of the easiest ways to grow your audience is to actually tell people your content exists. If you’re only posting on Tempted and not sharing it on social media, a lot of potential Fans might never see it. Even a quick Instagram story, tweet, or TikTok post can make a huge difference.
Pro Tip: Add your Tempted Profile link to your LinkTree! This makes it easy for Fans to find you. You can also include it in your Instagram bio, stories, or anywhere your audience can click.
Overusing filters and sacrificing quality
We get it! Being a content creator isn’t always easy, and sometimes getting the perfect shot can be tricky! It’s tempting to rely on filters to «fix» things, but overdoing it can distort your images or make them lose quality. Instead, try taking photos with a ring light or in natural light whenever possible.
Not balancing free and pay-per-view content
Think about paying for a Netflix subscription, only to find you can barely watch anything without paying extra. Frustrating, right? The same thing can happen on your Profile if all your content is behind a paywall. When a Fan subscribes, it’s important to give access to some free content while also offering exclusive paid content.
A good strategy is to upload previews or teasers, and reserve the full content for the «Content Manager» (Pay-per-View) section.
Lack of constancy and not having a schedule
When you start your journey on a fan site, consistency is key! You don’t need to upload new content every day, but posting at least once a week helps keep your Profile active. You can also schedule your Live Shows on the same days and times. Fans will remember the schedule, which can boost attendance and make your shows more successful.
