How to maximize DA: A guide for my models

Thu Nov 19, 2009, 5:54 AM
***Note: This is for my models. All others can ignore this entry.***

Lately, several of my models have either joined DA or become active. So I thought I should write a few tips on how to get the most traffic, maximize the experience and become incredibly popular.

Here's where you can find some of them:
Kitty Licks => [link]
Clockwork Pink => [link]
Dane Halo => [link]
Poisonne => [link]
Melissa => [link]
Lexi => [link]
Sliver => [link]
Milena May => [link]
Elle => [link]
Pandora => [link]
Aleera => [link]
Katie => [link]
Shank => [link]
Faith => [link]

Upload photos slowly, but consistently. One photo every 12 hours. No more, no less. If you upload a whole bunch at once, then people will see a long line of very similar images and click on just one. If you upload only one every 12 hours, then it's much more likely every one will get clicked on. And this way you'll get more watchers and faves, and that's the key in the long run for the snowball effect and mass traffic.

To Dane: stop with the triptychs. This isn't MM. You're not limited to 10 photos. Instead, single images look better and are stronger and will result in more views/faves/watchers.

To Pink: Slow down woman!

If the photo is a nude, put it in the Artistic Nudes category. You'll get way more hits than any other. Ignore the Fetish category. If there's no nudity, put it in Classic Portraits.

Always disable the download full option. For the mature content setting, for nudes always choose warning and do not check any of the boxes below. Always set the size to either 600 pixels wide for verticals or 900 pixels wide for horizontals.

Write journals regularly.

Post polls regularly.

Reply to every comment you get.

There's no need to personally thank every fave you get, as some people do. Most of your faves and watchers will be pervy people who don't do anything but look and only have accounts so that they can view the mature content.

Instead, stick to interacting with the people who comment.

And that's about it. Fairly simple. The main key though is to upload, CONSISTENTLY but SLOWLY.

Actually I don't. I have slow/unreliable internet and I try to avoid such things. How about I just send you one of my models?
