TL;DR - The Short Answer

• Videos are king - vlogs, behind-the-scenes clips, livestreams, and daily updates generate the highest engagement.
• Photos come next - both adult and non-adult, from professional shoots to casual snapshots.
• PPV content boosts revenue - personal messages, custom videos, and exclusive drops can command premium pricing.
• Digital and physical products sell well - from ebooks to original artwork.

Both explicit and non-explicit creators are succeeding by engaging fans and posting consistently.
