Helping to understand what's wrong and how to improve - Also wondering if Fansly give advice on their current algorithm like Instagram CEO do
So first of all, I'm just trying to figure out what's going wrong with me.
To understand my situation: I started my Fansly in mid-2024. By November/December, I was getting around 600-850 views per day on the FYP.
I had 70 subscribers in November — now I’m down to 20.
After January, my views dropped to around 200 per day.
I stopped posting around the end of March to study and come back stronger.
I read a lot of articles, went through almost every comment Kevin made, and even tried to copy some creators (that are in the top 100) who are doing the same thing as me ( selling mostly through dm's and no nudity in the fyp).
Here’s what I’ve done since the end of April:
- Posting 3 times a day (all on FYP)
- Using niche hashtags and general hashtags
- Lowered the price of my lowest subscription tier
- Turned my timeline to “subscribers only”
- Started making TikTok-style clips (5–13 seconds)
- I never used to repost high-performing videos, but this time I did. I reposted my top 5 videos (just changed the bio slightly, kept the same hashtags). As you can see, it didn’t work.
So… is there anyone who can help me?
I’ve never posted nudes on my wall. It’s mostly SFW content — sometimes with little flashes where you can maybe see something NSFW if you pause at the right moment.
I really try to create “bait” and maximize watch time. I use visual hooks and hook-style captions/bios.
I’m honestly desperate for help because I’m putting in serious effort to study and improve. Back in November, I didn’t even try this hard — I just copied some popular videos, do most of them in my own style without copying and boom, it worked.
I was mainly focused on my goal: delivering the best experience for my subscribers.
Is Fansly gatekeeping the algorithm? If they just gave creators a clear guide or real insight on how to go viral or get FYP views, it would help everyone like the CEO of Instagram do each week.
I’m trying harder on this than I ever did for my Law Master’s degree.
I feel dumb for not succeeding. But I don’t mind being seen as dumb if it helps me figure out what’s really stopping me.
P.S. I don’t really do external promotion (or barely).
But again — if I’m doing everything right and still not succeeding on FYP, do I really need external promotion?
Or is the FYP now rewarding creators who do external promo and bring new people and that’s why I’m struggling?
