21 Apr Spending Money to Make Money: Investing in Yourself as an Adult Content Creator
Posted
in RedGIFs Tips 'n' Tricks
Every businesswoman and businessman knows the sad truth that you have to spend money to make money. Luckily, as an adult content creator, your investments in necessities can be a lot more fun.
STAY EQUIPPED WITH EQUIPMENT
One of the first things that many seasoned creators invest in is equipment. Whether you’re working from your bedroom or the world is your playground, upgrading and updating your equipment can be a worthwhile investment. For instance, multiple phones can boost your efficiency considerably. While it may seem silly to have two or even three phones, sometimes your primary device isn’t available for everything you need in the moment. If you’re live-streaming on one phone, another phone could allow you to keep up with direct messages or maintain your other pages without disrupting your livestream. The same logic can apply to those of us with desktop setups. It can be super helpful to have multiple screens if you’re busy uploading content but maybe want a screen to watch your stats and messages. The more screens, the better!
Updating your phone can also be a good way to increase the quality of your photos and videos, but screens aren’t the only equipment worth investing in. Lighting is another great way to put funds towards making more funds. Most photographers and cinematographers believe in 3-point lighting at a minimum. Having three sources of light allows you to get rid of shadows more efficiently, improving photo quality, but you can most certainly push boundaries further. Portable lighting can also be useful if you’re not always shooting in the same location. Many products combine lighting with phone or camera stands. Camera or phone fixtures allow you to capture angles you normally wouldn’t be able to and help avoid situations where you’re balancing your expensive devices somewhere they’re at risk of breaking. Some of them even have remote options, though even without them, many smartwatches allow you to remotely control your phone’s camera, further aiding in capturing dynamic angles.

Services are another great investment. While common services like social media schedulers require some level of scrutiny to avoid social media bans for bot-like behavior, there are also services such as DMCA takedown services that help remove your leaked, copyrighted materials. The less leaked content you have out there, the more incentive buyers have to purchase your content. There are also software services, like CapCut Pro, that give you an edge on the competition with editing tools most of the competition doesn’t use. When subscribing to a service, all you have to do is hypothesize if that service can make you more money than it costs. If it doesn’t work out, or you no longer need it, simply unsubscribe. You can always resubscribe later.
COMFORT COMES FIRST IF YOU WANT TO
The last investment we’ll talk about today is an investment in comfort. While it’s usually an afterthought for most, as it can seem like unnecessary splurging, studies suggest that a more comfortable work environment can result in upwards of a 20% increase in productivity. Making sure that where you sit for most of your day is as cozy as reasonably possible means you can work for longer without feeling mentally or physically fatigued. Purchasing a new coffee machine can help you get that early morning morale boost without having to leave your workstation for long. Ultimately, if you can justify your investment as one that keeps you happy and focused, it’s worth considering. Just be careful not to overindulge in unnecessary comforts. A lot of adult content creators can work from bed, but it doesn’t mean that’s always the best choice. Make sure to still get plenty of fresh air and sunlight, at the very least.
It’s always going to feel a bit counterproductive spending money to make money, but when putting thought into it, you’ll find that it’s definitely possible to treat yourself and benefit your business simultaneously, so long as you research your desired equipment, service, or comforts before emptying your bank account.
