Art, Surfing, Mixing Music, & JustFor.Fans – All in Day's Work for Tommy Alexander
Steve Duffy READ TIME: 8 MIN.
EDGE: What led you to start a Just For Fan's page?
Tommy Alexander: I started posting on TikTok as a joke. I was bickering with my ex-husband, who was posting on TikTok, that I would download TikTok and get more followers than him. I started posting and had about 15,000 followers in my first two weeks. I started having a lot of fun with it. I was posting fun videos, and I started getting a lot of views and followers. I also saw lots of other gay creators with lots of followers posting on OnlyFans and Just For Fans and thought I would give it a try. I made way more money than I thought I could make on those platforms within my first few weeks.
EDGE: On the surface, managing a JFF page seems simple, but how challenging is it?
Tommy Alexander: It's a lot of work, but it depends on what I'm doing. I've ebbed and flowed into collaborating with other guys, which is more work than just creating solo content. You also have to work hard on marketing yourself. It takes a lot of effort to be big on there. I can put in 10 to 12 hours a day, seven days a week, to create content for all my socials - Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram- to drive traffic without violating their community guidelines, and not even creating content for Just For Fans. That's a lot of work. I take requests, and I respond to a lot of messages. So yeah, it takes up a lot of time and a lot of mental gymnastics to figure out how to stay relevant.
