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.
