Like every day, we set out to hunt. We took the boat, headed into the waters where we knew the whales would be, and waited. The first challenge was spotting the whale. Among the towering waves and the blinding reflection of the sun, only a faint silhouette appeared. Every second mattered, and the uncertainty made the tension almost unbearable. Identifying it correctly was the first test of an epic high-seas hunt, where a single mistake could ruin everything. Only when its true form emerged did the crew realize they were facing a colossus of the ocean—and that the real adventure was just beginning. Between the saltwater spray and the force of the wind, we could already smell the cash…

Not every fan is created equal

Some are just casual supporters, while others are the real drivers of your income. If growth is your goal, your focus should be on the ones who spend. That’s why grouping your fans is so important. The key is simple: identify who delivers the most value and give them your best attention.

An easy way to stay organized is by using fan lists and emojis in your messages. For example, adding a whale emoji next to Steve’s name immediately identifies him so you or your chatters know exactly who you’re talking to. As your audience grows, this system becomes a total lifesaver. The biggest benefit is efficiency—by recognizing your “big spenders,” you can dedicate your resources (like your best chatters) where they matter most, instead of spreading your resources thin on fans who won’t really boost your income.

What does fan categorization look like?

Why this strategy matters:

Whales 🐳 (Big Spenders): These are your top-tier fans who purchase everything—pay-per-view content, customs, bundles, you name it. Treat them like VIPs and respond quickly.

Mid-Tier Buyers 😊: They don’t grab every offer, but they purchase consistently enough to be worth nurturing. Keep them engaged with check-ins and the occasional exclusive deal.

Low Spenders 🥶: These are your standard subscribers. They may not spend much, but they still add value by staying active. Some can be nurtured into higher spenders over time.

Waiting-for-Payday Fans 📆: These fans have already told you they’ll spend once they get paid. Don’t push before payday—just follow up when the time comes.

Free-Riders 🙄: They spend here and there but try to get more conversation or attention without paying extra. Set clear boundaries so they don’t drain your time.

Time-Wasters ⏳: They chat a lot but never tip or buy. Keep your responses short and don’t overinvest your energy.

Non-Sexting Fans ❌: Not interested in sexting, which is usually your main money-maker. Don’t waste energy pushing it—explore other offers if possible.

The key benefits of categorizing your fans:

• You’ll instantly know which type of content to share based on their interests.
• You’ll quickly identify your top spenders and invest your time and resources where they matter most.
• You’ll grow a stronger, more profitable fanbase by focusing on the right people instead of spreading yourself too thin.

But this concept goes even further. It’s not just about knowing how much they spend—it’s also about understanding how they spend, and then optimizing your strategy around that.

For example, one subscriber might prefer taking control, while another enjoys being submissive. Each requires a different approach. By asking new fans direct but playful questions—like whether they’d rather be in charge or have you take the lead—you can instantly figure out their category.

When you track fans this way, you gain two powerful insights: what excites them and how willing they are to spend. Once you know, you can tag them with an emoji so you never forget. For instance, adding 😊🍑 to a name tells you this fan both enjoys anal and is a reliable spender. That way, you immediately know which kind of content to send—and that giving them attention is worth your effort.

Quick Recap:

• Focus on fans who spend; casual followers matter less for growth.
• Use fan lists + emojis to quickly identify top spenders.
• Whales 🐳: Big spenders, VIP treatment.
• Mid-Tier 😊: Regular buyers, nurture them.
• Low 🥶: Minimal spenders, can grow over time.
• Waiting-for-Payday 📆: Follow up after payday.
• Free-Riders 🙄: Set boundaries.
• Time-Wasters ⏳: Minimal effort.
• Non-Sexting ❌: Focus elsewhere.
• Track preferences + spending behavior; tag fans with emojis to remember their interests and value.

Think in terms of Lifetime Value (CLV)

Don’t just look at a single sale—start thinking about the long-term potential of each subscriber. Every fan represents a total amount they might spend with you over weeks, months, or even years. The secret to increasing that number is smart upselling.

Once someone buys—whether it’s a video, a bundle, or a custom—they’re far more likely to purchase again. Your role isn’t to restart from zero every time; it’s to smoothly guide them toward the next offer. That could mean suggesting an upgraded custom, teasing upcoming content, or packaging deals that feel too good to pass up.

The key is to make upselling feel natural, like part of an ongoing, playful exchange—not a hard sell. As a chatter, you’re not simply pushing products—you’re crafting an experience that keeps fans excited and eager to spend more.

Over time, those little nudges add up. A fan who spends $10 today could easily turn into someone who invests $100, $200, or even more—if you keep them engaged and connected.

Quick recap:

• Focus on the long-term value (CLV) of each fan, not just single purchases.
• Every fan has a total potential spend over weeks, months, or years.
• Smart upselling—upgraded customs, bundles, or teasing content—encourages repeat purchases.
• Keep upselling natural and playful, not pushy; craft an engaging experience.
• Small, consistent nudges over time can turn a $10 purchase into $100, $200, or more.

Conclusion

So, there you have it! Categorizing your fans isn’t just about keeping things organized—it’s your map to the treasure. Focus on your whales, nurture the mid-tier buyers, and don’t waste energy on the time-wasters. Understand what each fan wants and how they spend, and guide them toward the next offer. With every thoughtful nudge, small purchases turn into much bigger rewards over time. Keep your strategy sharp, your fans engaged, and your profits sailing steadily toward the horizon
