My guest today on Adult Site Broker Talk is creator Bull Boss Josh. Josh thanks for being with us on Adult Site Broker Talk. Thank you so much for having me, Bruce. It’s a pleasure to have you. Josh is a Canadian content creator who’s worked hard to keep his adult industry work private from his personal life despite being nominated for a Gay VN and Gravy Awards this year. He’s currently best known for his exquisite phallus, I think that’s how you pronounce it, which has been privately molded and sold as a popular dildo replica online. He’s recently been traveling more for collaborations and networking his way into the industry through his large social media presence and his Blossom.com page. His hobbies include fitness, baseball, bowling and guitar. He’s also a big music and movie buff. You can follow Josh on Twitter, Reddit and Telegram @BullBossJosh, Instagram @Bull_Boss Josh and Snapchat @RealJoshBoss. Josh, what got you into content creation and how long have you been doing it? So I’ve been making content for about two to two and a half years now. I started making it before I started attaching my name to it. You know what I mean? Just having fun at home, filming, doing things that I was inspired by from other creators on Twitter. It all started on Twitter. Some of these videos that I was making, I just found them to be really sexy. I thought, "Well, maybe I should just put this on Twitter and just see what happens." Because why not? It was kind of like a new outlet for me being single for quite a while at the time and not really having a lot of outlets at that moment. It seemed like a good idea. I thought, "Well, I’ll put this out here, see if it gets a response." So one of the videos that I made was a shower head, me in the shower with a jet stream shower head focused on my dick. Now I’d done this a thousand times before without recording it, which is why I bought that specific shower head. But once I posted it on Twitter, it completely blew up. I had nobody on my Twitter, a couple of followers. I just used Twitter as a scrolling porn page. Like most people, I think, do. And so it blew up. It got something like 500,000 views in the first week or the first 10 days, something like that. It was like 100,000 views a day. It was crazy. And I couldn’t believe it. I got a couple of thousand followers within that first week and I thought, "Wow, that’s a little strange. Maybe I should just put out something else." And so it just kind of slowly started to spiral into me putting out different ways and unique ways for me to come that might go viral. And so that’s just kind of how I broke into doing it on Twitter, at least. That’s wild. Jeez, that’s a lot of followers. Yeah, well, I mean, so you know, and as time’s gone on, I’m up over 400,000 followers now on Twitter and it just never really slowed down. And so it’s been really motivating to continue trying to come up with content on my own because I’m mostly doing things solo for the most part. So trying to keep it not boring, right? Sure. What were some of the biggest factors that contributed to your rapid growth and success landing in the top 1.2% on OnlyFans in just the first year? Yeah, that was crazy for me too. So I mean, once the Twitter thing kept blowing up and I was getting some of these larger pages attention and I wanted to start promoting my stuff, I think I got to 10,000 followers on Twitter in like a month and I was like getting messages daily from people wanting me to put out an OnlyFans and wanting me to put out more exclusive content where they could see all of me. Right to be clear, like I was just posting lower half stuff, no face, nothing. I’m covered in tattoos up top. None of that was visible. So this was an opportunity I thought to maybe make some money, obviously, by showing all of me creating exclusive content that you wouldn’t get anywhere else. Just like a million other people are doing, right? It’s a very saturated market. But I think that it was just the ability for me to, well, first of all, I do have what I’ve been told very nice penis and over and over again every day all day long and I love it and it never gets old. So everybody can keep saying that for me. And so having that and then having that control over my orgasm and the ability to do things in kind of an obscure way in a unique way really led to a lot of fast growth. I think it was just something people hadn’t seen before or at least hadn’t seen a lot of. And if they had seen it, they didn’t know where they saw it from or it was an unnamed creator or whatever. But with mine, it was like, "Hey, this guy’s doing this fun stuff. I’m going to follow him and I’m going to subscribe to him." And it just completely blew up for me, the OnlyFans. Like as soon as I started, I think within the first month I had 200 subscribers, which I was like, "This is pretty cool, but it probably won’t get any bigger." And then after a couple more months, I had 500 subscribers and I’m like, "Oh, this is great. This is starting to turn into some extra money, but it probably won’t get any bigger." And then it just kept going. It just kept going and reaching almost breaking into that inside of that 0.1% or that 1% is insane to me. It’s somewhere that I never thought I would be just playing with my showerhead alone in my house to being this person with thousands of people paying to watch them every day. It’s been very surreal and it’s been quite a life adjustment for me all around in the way that I structure my day and the way that I think about my past and my future. It’s really been eye-opening. Sure. When you say 1.2%, do you have any idea what percentage you would be of male creators? So that is 1.2% of all creators. I don’t know. It’s got to be way up there. Yeah, well, it would have to be. I don’t know what the splits are on female versus male only fans creators. I know, obviously, there’s way more females. I don’t know. I mean, it’s probably like a 90/10 split or an 80/20 split. So that’s a good question. I don’t know if there’s a way to know that. That’d be an interesting thing to try to figure out though, for sure. Because then it’s a good marketing tool. I could say this is the percentage I am among all male creators. So that’s interesting. It’s a good question. I’ll look into that. Yeah, you’re probably in the 1/10th of 1% of the male ones based on just the numbers and the fact that the female creators, the top female creators tend to do better than the top male creators. Sure. Sure, they do. Yeah, they would. When you said doing fun stuff besides the one example you gave, I mean, what other examples of fun stuff are you doing in your videos? So when I started out just doing the solo stuff, it was just trying to be creative with coming in particular. Where like most guys have an inability to last. I’m very much the opposite where I don’t come until I’m ready. It’s kind of like a light switch that goes off in my head. And I can turn it on and off at will. Right, right, exactly. Yeah, and it’s very handy for that because once I turn that switch on, I know it starts to build and I can turn that switch off right at the right moment and I can come, but I don’t have an orgasm. And so I get this really neat video effect where I can essentially be pulsing and coming and moaning and doing my dirty talk and my verbal, which is another huge part of it, and then continue on and keep doing what I’m doing, whether it’s using a sex toy or a flashlight or my hand or a shower head or whatever. So I was ultimately trying to find these fun ways to masturbate and to help other guys who might be jerking off along with me and kind of guiding them through their whole bait or session, so to speak. So you come, but you don’t orgasm? Right, right. A good example of this you can see in relatively mainstream porn from the past in particular, George All is his name, U-H-L. He was a European porn star. I think he still is. And that’s where I got the inspiration from for doing that because I would be watching his porn and he would do that all the time. He’d be having sex, he would stop, pull out, come a bunch, but you could kind of tell it wasn’t his full orgasm. He’d come like a little and he’d stick it back in and two minutes later he’d pull out and do it again. I’m like, wow, this is amazing. This guy had like six orgasms, but really he didn’t though. He almost did a bunch of times. He got to that point of no return and was able to control it and stop it, let some out, some of that pressure off and then continue on and keep going. And so that’s essentially what I’m doing. Wow. Yeah, it’s really fun. It’s really fun. I thoroughly enjoy it. I bet. I’ll take your word for it. Where did the nickname bullboss Josh come from? Well, that was kind of a flukey thing because once the Twitter started to blow up a little bit, I didn’t have a real good name on there. I think bull was included and that comes from past years of being in like an open swinger relationship with my ex-wife and we would did that for years. And it was always a part of my username because I always enjoy being a bull for couples. I thoroughly enjoy being with couples, especially in like a by scenario. So that was always kind of part of it. So I think my title had that in there somewhere, but I don’t remember what it was called. And then I thought, well, I’ll go online and just start googling some fun name generators, poor name generators, just to see. And I was looking for something a little authoritative because of the way that I talk and communicate in my videos. And so yeah, I kind of landed on a boss thing and I thought bullboss that sounds kind of catchy. And then Josh just sort of fit. It just kind of rhymed. It had like a bounce to it bullboss Josh. I just liked it. It wasn’t a common thing to hear. And I wasn’t sure if I was going to stick with it, but I knew it gave me the ability to use Josh Boss from it because both those words were included. So it fit kind of nice for Twitter and it just kind of left it like that. I thought about picking one or the other, but Josh Boss was taken on Twitter. So it was kind of a perfect little secondary name. Nice. What advice would you give to other content creators to help them start fast? Well, if they’ve heard this advice before, I mean, I’m sure they’ve had they’ve been looking for this kind of advice because today’s market is just so overly saturated with with only fans creators and just for fans creators and all these sites. You want to have a natural ability to do what you’re doing first and foremost. Not everybody can be a mainstream porn star. That’s not what I am, but I’m just saying as an example, not everybody can walk onto a porn studio set and get a boner and go about their business. It doesn’t work like that. So in the same vein, whatever content it is you’re looking to produce, especially as a man, I think you really have to stand out. And if you stand out naturally, if you have something natural, whether you’re just beautiful, have an amazing body or a really nice penis, or you have, for example, all of those things or the ability to come a bunch of times or whatever it is that you’re doing, should stand out, should set yourself apart from what you’re seeing everyone else doing. Now, that doesn’t mean to not be inspired and use what you see online as inspiration to make similar content because I’ve certainly done that. There’s a lot of creator artists type people out there that I was looking up to before I started doing this, that I was like, I can do that. I can make videos like that. That’s not that hard. And so I did. I did them, but I just did it in my own way and that it stood out and was more unique. So I think those are the most important points. Be good at what you’re doing. Be unique at what you’re doing. And then from there, if you’re gaining traction and you’re gaining followers and subscribers, they’ll help guide you through what they want from that, what they want to see you do next, where they see you going and how you’re going to grow because you’re not going to be able to only do the same thing forever. So ultimately, yeah, try to be good at it. Try to be unique at it and listen to your audience because they’re the ones that are going to be paying your way. Interesting. That’s good. What was it like getting award nominations in your first year from Gay Vian and the Grabby? That had to really be a charge for you. Yeah, I can’t even to this day understand or wrap my head around that. That is to me just insane. Those are the two, well, two of the most prestigious awards in the gay community. It’s a total honor. I mean, just to have my name recognized as a nomination, I don’t even know honestly how to answer that. I’ve never been able to fully grasp that that happened to me. So I’m very grateful for that. Obviously, winning one of those would have been just a stellar, but it wasn’t in the cards this year. That’s okay. The nomination for me is just fantastic. It happened so fast. I’d only been doing it for about a year and a half before that Gay Vian nomination came. And for me, that’s just insane. I know other large creators have gone years without having this happen. So I’m not 100% sure if I can pinpoint a specific reason other than that people have just gravitated toward my content. Seemingly, my personality online as well seems to be popular. And I guess the content I created was pretty sexy. So I mean, I guess those are the reasons why, but it was really humbling to be put in those categories just because of the prestige behind those, particularly the Gay Vian’s being associated with the AVN’s. And it led to be clear I wasn’t nominated for an acting award or performer of the year or any of these massive Derrick Cage awards. This was more that I was nominated for my penis. So the Gay Vian award was for Favour Cock or Hottest Cock. I’m not sure which one I forget the title and the grabby was the same. All right. So they’re both for the same thing. So I’m definitely taking note that that’s what people are enjoying. And that’s my strength and that’s what I’m doubling down on for sure. I’m going to use it as motivation to get nominated again and hopefully win next time. Fantastic. Where do you see yourself taking your creator career and what do you want to do with your brand? Well, you know, like I said before, listening to the followers and listening to the subscribers is really going to help me figure that out because I don’t really know. I still don’t do this full time. I haven’t been able to give up that full time job yet. Money wise, I could. I could have a long time ago. But it’s more like this industry’s volatile. And unless I’m ready to go all out and start making content daily or at least structuring my day around making content as often as possible, I don’t think it’s something that I want to give up my full time job in my regular life yet. You know, I live in a very isolated part of Northern Canada and it’s not easy for me to travel. And it takes quite a bit of planning, quite a bit of resources for me to be able to go do that. And having people come to me is almost out of the question once they realize where I am. I get a million people say, well, I’ll just come to you. And I’m like, yeah, you’re not appreciating where I am. So it’s an unfortunate reality that I have to face that I have limitations as long as I stay here and stay in this kind of box. So I’m treading lightly to answer your question about where I’m headed. I’m doing my best to make content locally in terms of within my province of Alberta. So I’m traveling as often as I can to places like Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, I’ve traveled to Portland, Oregon for content. I’ve been to LA for porn conventions and was able to do content there. So any opportunity that I get where I’m already traveling, I will take that opportunity to make more content. Otherwise, I have to really think about what step I want to take forward in this industry. And if I really want to go all in, because really that’s the way to do it. If I want to be hugely successful in this, or if I want to just kind of keep like walking that fine line between a normal life and a creator life and having this split personality that I have to live with every day. So I guess I don’t know, Bruce, if I’m going to be honest, I don’t know for sure where it’s headed yet, but that’s also kind of exciting. [Bruce] As well as you’re doing, doing it part-time, hasn’t the thought been, "Well, hell, if I do this full-time, I’m going to make X more money, and I can really spread my wings and be fully successful with this?" Yeah. Well, and living in this area, what comes with that is my family lives in this area, my siblings, my parents, all my friends that I’ve known for forever. The hobby’s an interest that I have here. So in order to go all in, I can’t do it living here. I would have to move. And truthfully, even being in Canada isn’t necessarily the greatest. I mean, those resources are going to dry up fast here. I need to be in more of a hub, an LA or a New York or a Miami or a Chicago, these big city places that have porn industry. Or even Montreal or Toronto. Sure. I mean, Montreal or Toronto, if I was going to stay in Canada, would be where I would go for sure, because that would be a good number of years, I think, before local resources are exhausted that way. But also, it’s easier for people to travel to me, and it’s easier for me to travel to them from Toronto, because that’s what ends up happening. I’ve had collab opportunities in Miami, and for me to get to Miami, I’m looking at hours of a drive. I’m looking at two plane rides, just to Toronto. Then I got to go to Miami from there. So it’s an entire day of expensive travel. So that would be what I would have to do, but I’d have to abandon all the things that I’m comfortable with. And I mean, that’s typical. That is a typical thing when people go all in and do a major life for career change. So I think I’m edging towards that. If I’m being honest, I keep taking those little baby steps towards jumping into the water head first. But we’ll see. We’ll see how it goes. We’ll see how the new content I’ve got coming out this year goes. And if things keep trending the way they are, then I may have no choice. What were some of your biggest challenges starting as a new male creator? Well, you know, I think that any new creator, female or male, face a lot of the similar challenges for sure, just in the oversaturation. We’re in the oversaturation period of only fans and content creators in general. Everybody’s trying to do it. Most people aren’t succeeding. Almost all people, I mean, if you look at the numbers, aren’t really succeeding in it. Some people maybe are making $100 a month, and maybe that’s good enough for them to help pay for some bills or whatever. That’s fantastic. But ultimately, I think when people get into it, that’s not why they’re getting into it. They’re getting into it because they want a form of sexual expression that they’re going to be able to make real money on. And that comes with a lot of challenges because you have to learn what it is you’re doing. Not only are you good at what you’re doing and is what you’re doing different than what everybody else is doing, but how are you going to market yourself? How are you going to get yourself seen in this sea of people doing the same thing? And that’s the biggest challenge I’ve been able to recognize for anyone trying to start up now is they want to be seen. And it’s hard. You have to build a following. You have to get out there online, find those not safe for work platforms like Twitter, like Reddit, or utilize paid platforms that allow you to search and be promoted on just for fans and some of these new startup companies that are really exciting. Blossom is another perfect example where you can go and buy promotions from other people and get your stuff seen. So there’s resources there for people, but ultimately, the challenge is going to be finding the time to make the content, make it good content, and then get it seen by everybody else. And that’s where you can start looking at industry professionals, people that have been doing this for a while, start getting tips, work your way up, work with people who are at your level or just above you and gain that industry experience as you go. None of it’s going to happen overnight unless you’re a total freaking nature. There’s the odd guy or the odd girl out there that just explodes. And that’s just what they were born to do. Roger Federer was born to play tennis. Jake Andrich was born to be a beautiful model, and it didn’t take those people very long to recognize that. But everybody else, we’re all going to have to work really, really hard to be seen. So that’s the biggest thing I would say is the biggest challenge for new people, especially males, because I don’t know if you’re aware of this. I’m sure you are like everyone else is. Guys like to show their dick. It doesn’t matter what platform you’re on. It’s even just your phone text messaging. Guys like showing off their dicks no matter what they look like. So there may be less male creators and female creators, but there’s way more dick pics than both of them combined. So you’re in a sea of dicks trying to get yours noticed. So I mean, that’s a huge challenge for men, I think. That’s funny. Well, I mean, you mentioned a couple things, but how can new male creators really overcome some of those challenges? Well, networking is huge. So for me, I built up my Twitter, like I had mentioned. I also started using Twitter Spaces a lot. Twitter Spaces has been fantastic. If people aren’t familiar, it’s just an ability to go on and sit in an audio room full of other people, kind of similar to what you and I are doing right now, and just have a conversation. And in a lot of these rooms, pop in and out huge industry stars, names like Santana XXL and Jordan Starr and Jordy Massive and all these well-known gay industry creators and artists. And you can kind of start networking your content that way and getting to know people, making your presence known, because the gay community is very receptive and accepting for the most part of this kind of thing. And if you’re putting out good content and you’re a genuinely good person, people want to get to know you. They want to work with you. They want that new blood. So it’s there for the taking. You just have to get yourself out there, get yourself seen, and people will gravitate towards you if your product is a good product. Great. So you’re omnisexual. What is that for those that don’t know? And how does it apply to you and your work as a creator? So omnisexual is a term I just learned about myself. Very excited to learn about this because I had never been able to pinpoint my sexuality in a really descriptive way. So on my Twitter heading, I would always put bisexual because I enjoy sexual activity with both men and women. But it never felt like it was an accurate portrayal of who I am because I thoroughly enjoy sexual activity with trans folk as well. And I never really like the super defining labels anyway because everybody is on a sexual spectrum and nobody’s one way or the other. And I mean, it’s just so hard to pinpoint exactly what you are. So when I found this term omnisexual just recently, and I don’t know if I’m late to the game or what because I’d never heard it before, but when I did, I haven’t either until we connected. So yeah. And once I read it, I was just kind of blown away. I’m like, "Oh, this is me." So the best way to describe it is a pansexual person is someone who doesn’t recognize gender in any way. They can be attracted romantically or sexually to any gender, male, female, trans, doesn’t matter, non-binary people. And omnisexual is similar in that vein except that omnisexual people will recognize the gender for what they are and may even have preferences toward one or the other, either sexual preferences or romantic preferences or both. Or maybe they have a history of one or the other and that they’re more accustomed to. So omnisexual is definitely something I can associate with more because I spent most of my young adult life strictly as a straight dude with curiosities that I thought I’d never get the opportunity to play out. And in that, you get very accustomed to femininity and being with women and comfortable with that. And once I started playing around with men, I started to realize, like, "Oh, this is for me too." And I’ve no wonder I’ve been so curious about this all my life. This is fucking awesome. And so it was really refreshing for me to be able to identify that way and actually have something that I can put up there now in my headers and in my descriptions that is actually an accurate portrayal of who I am. And then I also write "Side" as well, "Omnisexual Side." So another term I’ve just recently come to learn, you’ve heard of tops and bottoms and everybody has, but I had never heard of the term "Side" until relatively recently, like in the last six months or so. And so that’s kind of like, it’s like you enjoy the sexual company of men, but you’re not necessarily either a top or a bottom. CB: Never heard that. AC: Yeah. So it’s like, you don’t necessarily want to have like anal penetrative sex in order to be sexual with a man. So you could have sensuality and you can have oral sex and hand jobs and the whole thing, but without having the actual anal sex involved. And I identified the most with that. And so I now write it as an "Omnicide." It’s new to me too. And if I’m wrong in any of this terminology, I implore people to write me and straighten me out here and correct me. But so far, that’s how I’ve been best able to identify. CB: Okay. Do you prefer working with men, women, or trans and why? AC: Right. So I guess leading back to the same thing, I spent most of my life being accustomed to women that way. So I guess there’s a lean and a comfortability toward women where I find it easier, especially to work with. If I’m filming or like, for example, coming up, I’ve got a scene where I’m going to have somebody else filming the scene. And so for me, that’s a little new. And so having that little added pressure of there being a camera person there, being with a female is definitely more comfortable. I feel like there’s less for me to worry about. And I don’t even know why I’m worried, but it’s just so new to me that way. But in private, I have a couple that I see and I play with sexually and obviously off-camera. And we have a grand time. Every time we’re together, and everything’s so free and flowing, and we can just be totally sexual, all three of us. And I really, really, really love not having to be tied down to one woman, man, or trans, to be honest. But I thoroughly love working with trans women, and that’s been relatively new to me. And I’ve done a really, really great scene last November when I flew to Portland with Transstar, Asia Bell. We had a fantastic time. And I definitely need to recreate that. That was very, very nice for me. I also had a make out and oral scene with Transman Star, no way. And that was super fun and new for me as well. So I mean, I don’t know if I have a clear preference in terms of what I want to make for content. Certainly, I have personal comfortabilities that will probably convey themselves in my content. But I guess I would lean towards the feminist side of things and the male side of things. And as far as trans people are concerned, it’s more of a case-by-case basis for me. That’s still very new for me. But you know, almost like a pansexual, it does depend for me on the person, the personality and that kind of thing too. And that can definitely sway me. You got that chemistry with somebody that’s hard to ignore regardless of their sexuality, right? Absolutely. How have you balanced your professional life and your private life while staying anonymous? Well, that is the greatest juggling act I’ve been able to perform for sure up to this point. I’ve done my best to keep my face off of the largest platforms that I’m on, so that being Twitter and Reddit. But I do show it on Instagram more because it’s just sort of like another little outlet for me that I get to do that and do something new. And it’s kind of like I’m pushing the boundaries of what I’m typically comfortable with and seeing how I feel about it once it’s out there. I’m loving that, by the way. But balancing it’s been tough because I do have concerns about my job and what would happen if that became common knowledge in my small town. It’s my family and friends. I don’t care so much about what people think of me as a person. I just don’t want to lose my job. I don’t want to lose the circles of friends that are involved in my hobbies and that kind of thing for something that they don’t understand and something that they probably won’t understand even if I tried to explain it to them. So it’s been a tough balance that way. I guess I just have to reconcile with the idea that it will probably get out no matter what I do at some point if I continue to grow. Staying where I’ve been right now, I’m actually shocked that I haven’t, it isn’t known in my community. And if it is, whoever does know is keeping it on the down low for me, I guess. So thank you. But I don’t know if it is. No one said anything to me so far. So worst case scenario, the worst thing that happens is I get fired from my job, everybody knows about it. And then it’s like this monkey off my back and then I’m diving in headfirst. Do you know what I mean? Absolutely. That would be the time now, wouldn’t it? No better time than then. So who knows? I mean, I don’t want it to happen that way, but that would be a silver lining, I suppose. Yeah, you want it to be your decision, of course. Right, right. Has being anonymous made being a creator more difficult for you or easier than why? 100% more difficult. Some people will say that they enjoy the anonymity of it all and that it gives a different alluring effect to their content. And that’s probably true. I find, for me, it’s been difficult just in that you have to work a little harder to get people’s attention when they don’t get to see your face. It really is that simple. If you go on Twitter and you see some good-looking, muscular, sexy dude jerking off and coming, you’ll notice the engagement, assuming they’re a larger account. You’ll notice that engagement’s off the charts compared to somebody who’s not showing everything. And obviously, you want to see all of the person. And I understand that. So for me, that’s been a huge challenge because it’s trying to find these ways to engage people and interest people without them seeing me. And I get messages all the time, "Hey, do you show your face on your OnlyFans? If I subscribe, am I going to get to see your face?" And it’s like, "Yes, yes, yes." Like, I put it in all my bios, you know, face, full body, everything, tattoos, I’m fully visible on my OnlyFans. Come there and you’ll see. So that isn’t really an anonymous creator, then? I suppose not in that sense. Like, I’m not anonymous on my OnlyFans. Everything’s shown there. But where most people see me is Twitter and Reddit. And those places, I’ve tried my best to remain anonymous without actually putting my full face or upper torso, essentially. Or things around me in my house, even. I try to clean up and make sure that there’s nothing that’s identifying in any of that stuff, right? That’s smart anyway, I think. Yeah. So I’m not fully anonymous, but half anonymous. Half anonymous. What advice would you give to other creators and specifically to people who want to become creators but not compromise their identity? My advice for them would be not to do that. I mean, really, if you can just go out there and just show yourself and be you, that’s the way to go. Because you’re probably going to be discovered anyway at some point. And so I know firsthand that living with that fear or stress is not the most fun thing. Yet definitely, if you can get into the industry without doing it, do that every time. But if you’re forced to do it for one reason or another, you just have to try to make it work. And you have to work that much harder than everyone else. You can’t take your foot off the gas for a minute. You have to work 10 times harder than the people who are showing everything and doing everything they’re asked in order to maintain that attention span, that short attention span that people online have nowadays. I work at this all day long. Outside of my full-time job, this is what I do from the time I leave work until I go to bed. And when I wake up in the morning, I’m swiping my phone open before I even get out of bed and I’m starting the process all over again. I don’t stop. I don’t take my foot off the gas for a minute. I haven’t had an actual day off in like two and a half years, not one. So that’s kind of what it will be for you if you want to be successful and anonymous as you. It’s just that little extra work you’re going to have to put in. So just be ready for that. Be prepared and then talk to other creators who are doing the same thing and see how they’re doing it and ask them questions and learn. I think if you want to be successful, period in business, whether it’s a creator or anything else, I don’t know what a day off is. I don’t know what a vacation is. I don’t go a day without doing some form of business. So really, in any kind of business of your own and being a creator is a business of your own, you don’t have days off, right? No, none. I mean, I’ve gone on vacations. I’ve been to Mexico with family and I spent the entire time on my phone when I wasn’t... I mean, there’s odd times during the day. I would obviously put it away and spend time with them. But there were hours in those days that I was still promoting myself and going on my socials and answering messages and posting content on OnlyFans and filming content for OnlyFans in my room when I was alone. You take those opportunities to get the different backgrounds and get some palm trees in your stuff. It feels like too good of an opportunity to try to do something. It was dealing across my mind to not work. It’s just not an option because if I don’t work, no one else is going to do it for me. No. Now, my inbox is always going. So, yep, unless you want to ignore business, you need to keep working. Yeah. Well, I don’t have anyone working for me. I don’t have an agency. I don’t have these chatters that all these OnlyFans people have. I mean, I get it that some of these people are busy or they just don’t want the hassle of it. I get it. I’m not shaming them for that. I just personally, I can’t stand it. If when I subscribe to somebody, I can tell the first message I get, it’s just an online chatter. It’s just somebody who’s paid to do this. It just doesn’t feel genuine to communicate that way. I can’t let go of that. That, I think, is a part of my content that stands out from a lot of other creators is that when you subscribe to me, you get me. You only ever get me and you only will ever get me. I don’t care how popular it gets. Yeah, that’s important to me. Sure. And that’s good. Was Xbiz and X3 your first time attending an industry event? And how did that go for you? Yeah, that was amazing. That was so cool for me. I’ve always been such a big fan of porn in a way that different than most people that just say, like, yeah, I just love to watch porn and I’ll jerk off to porn. But I’ve always been a fan of what porn really is. And the industry as a whole, I’ve always been able to associate myself with a lot of the performers and say, like, I could do this and I can be like that. And I can kind of empathize with their life that way and what it takes to do what they do. And so for me, being at that industry event was just really eye-opening. I got to participate with Blossom.com. They brought me there and I was there to work for them. And I had a lot of people that knew me from my content creation show up and meet me and shake my hand and take pictures. And that was just an unbelievable experience for me to get that kind of love from followers and subscribers in person. I really, really cherish that. It was a huge first for me and I’ll never forget that. And thank you to all the people that did show up and say, say hello. It really, really meant the world. But for me also to walk around and to meet some of these stars and these creators that I’ve essentially idolized, male and female, I fanboyed so hard when I met Raheem. Raheem showed up there and I just, I didn’t even know what to do with myself. He was so amazing and beautiful and such a kind soul. So getting the opportunity to meet these people like that in real life and make connections and network, like I hung out quite a lot at the Groobies table at the trans table and I networked. Great company. Oh, fantastic. Stephen does an amazing job there. He really does. He really does. He’s so great. All his performers are fantastic ladies and I’ve met a number of them at that event and have networked with them and have plans with them in the future. So that’s been really exciting. I think that might have been the most exciting part for me of being in that event was getting that opportunity to be there in person, make an impression on people and network that where I wouldn’t be able to, I can’t do that where I live. It’s not easy access for me to do those events. So it was just really, really cool. It made me feel like what I was doing was the right thing and that this is where I belong. So I very much welcome the next large creator event that I get to go to for sure. I’m looking forward to it. Absolutely. You do some work with Blossom. Tell me more about Blossom and what sets it apart. They approached me a long time ago. I probably have gotten a thousand messages from companies and toy Amazon companies and all these people over the years. And I got a message again from one of these companies, this Blossom company, and they want me to sign up to their site and they’ll give me X amount of dollars if I do it because I was a large creator. And I was like, well, that sounds probably too good to be true. But there was something about the way that they worded their message that felt genuine to me. And so I did respond and I did have a correspondence with them. And I guess long story short, they convinced me to sign up and they paid their end of the deal. And I spent some time talking with them online and then they invited me to this event, this X3 event in LA back in January. And I got to meet a number of them in person, including, I don’t want to call them the owner necessarily, but I think he runs it or he might be the owner. And we just hung out for those three days. And I don’t think I’ve ever met a better group of people in my life. And I’m not just saying that they truly were just beautiful people. And Katie is fantastic. We still communicate fairly regularly. She picks my brain about things that can be improved on Blossom and stuff. And I’d like from a creator standpoint, and I just enjoy talking to them. And I enjoy being a part of their world. And really, it’s their human personalities that really attracted me to that company moving forward. Like I latched onto them. And I really love what they do. And they provide an opportunity for people to go on so that they can be seen kind of similar to what we talked about before. If you’re a new creator and say you want me, say you’re a gay or bisexual male creator and you want to be seen on your Twitter, you go to Blossom, you find me there, you’ll see what I have to offer for promotions on Twitter, OnlyFans, Reddit, and you can purchase those promotions from me there. And then it’s kind of like a safe medium where you’re not getting sketchy accounts and sketchy people who are out to steal your money under the guise of promotion. And then, yeah, you get Blossoms, the intermediary or whatever, and the money transfers through them and you get what you pay for every single time or you get reimbursed. They’re just fantastic. And they’re at all these events there. They’re making themselves known. Their company is growing so fast. I feel honored, truly honored to be a part of their company in some shape or form. And moving forward, I’m going to do everything I can to help them succeed because they’ve done everything they can to help me succeed. Fantastic. Do you think you’ll ever take the next step into studio work, thus fully shedding the anonymous veil? Studio work and doing content full time are definitely two different worlds. I could for sure be persuaded to do just do what I’m doing on my own terms, full time. Stepping into studio work is something I have to think about a little more because, like we said before, not everybody’s meant to be a porn star. And being on a studio set is a whole different world than having your own phones and cameras set up in your own comfortable space. You’ve got a lot on the line on a porn set. You’ve got cameraman and you’ve got producers and you’ve got people who don’t get paid if you don’t get hard. And so finding ways to get through that anxiety and whatnot would be something I would have to be able to test on a smaller market before I could tell you whether or not that’s something I’d be ready for. I think it was interesting to listen in particular to your interview with Eric Everhard because Eric Everhard, as you recall, talked a lot about this. He’s kind of like a coach and an expert in this kind of stuff and talking about treating sex like you’re an athlete. And he delves a lot into performance anxiety, which a lot of people face. And I face that myself, even just as a creator, because there was a high stature person that I worked with and I just couldn’t get that out of my head. The audience that this content was going to be shown to, I couldn’t get the anxiety out of my head. So it is something to work on. And I’m sure that there’s ways for me to get through that. I’m not overly concerned about it. But I would like to know that about myself before I committed to a studio set. Should get in touch with Eric. Well, you know what? I think I will, because after hearing that interview, he really did seem to have a lot of good points. And I’m sure he’s a fantastic coach. Yeah. Studio work, I am interested in it and I am fascinated in it. I think it just, it will depend on, you know, my location has been tough. So for example, I did reach out to a company that tours around the United States and does some studio work. And they were not interested in having me involved unless I was able to do the U.S. testing that they have specifically, which I get, it’s understandable. But I, you know, I said to them like so that so the industry, the Canadian industry standard isn’t acceptable, then is what you’re saying for what you guys are doing. And they said, that’s correct. And I went, okay, well, I don’t know. I haven’t been able to decipher exactly what the differences are. Other than that, they just have these trusted companies and they’re not risking it outside of those companies. I would think that they would have, the companies would have outlets in Montreal, Toronto, etc. Well, I don’t think so. And I mean, it could depend on province to province, you know, in my province, you know, healthcare in Alberta is fantastic. And it’s much different than in the United States. And, you know, I just go, I see, I can go to a clinic or I can go see my doctor and you get these tests done. And you get those results back in a couple of days and you’re free and clear, but is not widely accepted in the industry in the United States. So for me to travel and do a studio scene, it means I’ve got to take that extra time ahead, go down there early, get the testing done, assume that is going, going to go well, yeah, and then do the scene, assume that’s going to go well, and then come home. So it would be quite the endeavor for me. But I’m not closed off to it at all. I just haven’t really found the right opportunity that I’ve wanted to say, this is the time, this is the time for me. I think creating more content, doing more collaborations with people, experimenting with my sexuality more on camera in particular, I think will help give me the experience I would need to be able to confidently jump into that next level. So I guess we’ll wait and see. Fantastic. Josh, I’d like to thank you for being our guest today on Adult Site Broker Talk. And I hope we’ll get a chance to do this again soon. Thank you so much for having me. This is such a blast. You’re great to talk to. I hopefully I give you a reason to have me on here again. You’ve already given me a reason. My broker tip today is part three of what to do to make your site more valuable for when you decide to sell it later. Last week, we talked about making a good offer and how to structure your site. Next, keep your website design up to date. Do a redesign from time to time. People will tend to think your site is the same as ever and click out of it without even looking at it if something doesn’t change. So keep it fresh and up to date. Times change, so should your website. Look at what your competitors are doing and see what it is you really like. If you know a site to be successful, look at what it is they’re doing and do some of the same things. I’m not saying copy their sites. I’m just suggesting you improve your site by looking around a bit. You’ve got to keep up with the times or you’ll end up being left behind. Also, keep an eye on your competition and make sure you’re offering everything on your site that they are or more. Don’t just look at their design, but make sure your offers are good and competitive. The same goes for your content. Do you ever wonder why one site does well and others don’t? Check out the competition’s content. What are they doing that you’re not doing? Be willing to make changes. People can’t understand why they’re losing sales to a competitor. Yet, the competitor is clearly doing everything better. Amulate success. Make sure everything on your website works well. Make sure all your links work properly. Check them on a regular basis. If things don’t work, you’ll lose customers. People are not patient these days. People’s attention spans are like that of a nat. They click out immediately and go to the next result in Google if they don’t find what they’re looking for. If the site is hard to navigate or if things don’t work, check all your internal scripts and plugins and make sure they’re updated regularly as well. We’ll talk about this subject more next week. And next week we’ll be speaking with Jay Moyes of High Octane Heart Media and PR. And that’s it for this week’s Adult Site Broker Talk. I’d once again like to thank my guest, Bull Boss Josh. Talk to you again next week on Adult Site Broker Talk. I’m Bruce Friedman. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) [BLANK_AUDIO]
