"Fool me once...."
I've posted a long, and honest, evaluation of James before and i don't want to go back there really, except to say that he's charging silly money for content, either out of desperation or greed, and I simply don't earn enough money to justify paying $50-$100 for a wank video to a man who travels the world (many of us can't travel to the end of the nearest branch line), while looking in pristine condition from piano-key teeth to truncheon dick.
He's clearly exceptionally wealthy, if his social media content is any guide. He doesn't need my wages. I don't need his content. And this time I mean it.
To be completely transparent with everyone. I worked with him for awhile helping manage him. And give him strategies and key points to make his OF a successful business as well as how to strengthen his interpersonal connection with his subscribers.
Firstly. No. He isn’t wealthy.
But I for months had created a schedule and at the start it was great, I still have the note with all the breakdowns and strategies. even though he was already paying me in arrears he owed me for my work (and fyi he still owes me but I don’t expect to ever see it). The schedule and getting him to not do PPV was working and the “resub on” was as well. His numbers went up and I have the screenshots to prove it. Up and up on the last year.
That is until his personal issues began to keep him from regularly creating content I could post and offer for people. And he’s never use any of my ideas as a gay man with that eye to please his audience and ergo profit for him. He’d repurpose old content and I think in my time with him only really created original new content a handful of times.
it got to the point where I was having to re-edit custom videos for the main feed. It was a struggle but I guess for him it was easy to have someone make the posts and organise the content, edit, answer dms and he didn’t have to put in the work for creating and strengthening post quality.
granted his personal stuff was heavy, but it’s cuz of him and in the end it made his OF suffer cuz he wouldn’t regularly create new strong content. In the end he let me go cuz “I didn’t push upselling content in messages” aka get people to buy customs or buy full videos in the PMs. But it was never agreed I’d be his salesman on top of managing. So it is greed. The money wasn’t enough. But he wasn’t willing to strengthen the core of the fanbase and make his page superior enough that regular sub volume was working for him over individual one off purchases.
