Earning online
The creator-economy skills performers and creators use between shoots: paid pages, feet and fetish content, cam and filming yourself properly.
OnlyFans and Fansly Success
How creator pages really earn: niche, launch, content that sells, pricing, messaging, promotion, tax and privacy.
Selling Feet Pics and Fetish Content
Earn from feet and fetish content without ever showing your face: the market, photography, pricing, buyers and safety.
Cam and Live Streaming Masterclass
Build a cam room that earns: platforms, setup, persona, running a show, regulars, safety and the business behind it.
Self-Tape, Content Creation and Editing
Film yourself like a professional with a phone: the casting self-tape, light, framing, performing on camera and editing.
Couples and Partner Content
Make content with your partner without breaking the relationship or the business: consent, money, filming, a third performer and what happens if it ends.
Producing your own content
For creators who book performers and shoot their own scenes: casting, hosting a shoot day, production craft and growing an audience.
Booking Performers as a Creator
Find, vet, book and pay verified performers for your own content, and host a shoot day that runs properly.
Producing Your Own Scenes
Planning, kit, lighting, sound, framing, editing, stills and release: production craft for the solo creator.

Grow a paid page from every platform: X, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit and more, with each platform’s rules and restrictions.
Money, safety and working abroad

Money and Tax for UK Performers and Creators
Self assessment, expenses, VAT, platform payouts, banking and budgeting, written for people paid by many platforms in many currencies.
Privacy, Leaks and Digital Security
Keep your identity, your content and your life outside work safe: separation, devices, leaks, deepfakes, stalkers and the recovery plan.
Working Abroad: Shooting in Europe
Shooting in Prague, Budapest, Berlin, Barcelona or Amsterdam from the UK: entry rules, testing, agents, rates, travel, scams and coming home.

Are the courses explicit?
They are frank, because the work is, but they are training courses rather than adult content. They cover safety, consent, health, technique, business and law the way any trade course would.
Can I take the courses from outside the UK?
Yes. Members join from many countries. The law and tax chapters are written for the UK, and the safety, camera and business skills apply anywhere.
