Your Bloopers...social media gold.

Likely not every video is a perfect take ever time. But that doesn't mean that you have to throw that footage away. In fact, some of the most fun videos are the ones that show the bloopers.  Blooper footage can be great for putting in a blog post. They can create great conversation with your followers. Plus they really put the personal touch to on your site. It shows how real you are. There is a good reason why people love to see out takes. Sometime mistakes are are more interesting than perfection.

If you decide to use blooper footage, #bts #behindthescenes #blooper are great hashtags to use. If they are sfw, you can load them onto youtube as well, and share them on sites like Facebook.

If you have some short and funny bloopers, you can make them into gifs and load them onto Twitter (which shows gifs). 

Bloopers are a great way to drive social shares. Sometimes people are not comfortable sharing adult content, but funny adult content crosses into the land of comedy and is very sharable. 

Just make sure that when you post your blooper footage in a blog that you also link to the final perfected scene, that way people can enjoy the bloopers and then really enjoy the final product. 

Here is an example of my of my blooper reels, which ended up being my most popular video. It is not overly interesting, but it was a lot more fun than the "into" video I had to make.

    I posted a blooper in my mainstream life, and ended up licensing the clip to an agency and seeing my clip on national TV :-O 

    For the adult stuff, I would be careful of posting anything that's TOO mainstream shareable, or else you could easily cross worlds! I was SO paranoid when that publicity on my mainstream channel hit, because I have almost 1k subscribers on my fetish-youtube channel. Luckily, nothing happened that I know of, but it was a legit safety concern and would have been hugely embarassing. 

    In 2007, I accidentally had mainstream vlog post hit the fetish scene in a viral way (I got so much hate and fetishists arguing with prudes, that I removed the clip), so you just need to be careful about video if you have a mainstream life to protect and don't want people knowing about your adult stuff.

    Also, because alot of guys get off on the bloopers, I wouldn't post much more than 1 minute for free. Make them pay :-)

    Finally, if a clip DOES go viral, be prepared for massive amounts of hate. Either all moderate comments to block the fucktards, or allow all comments and don't look at them. 

    Trying to make viral content can be fun, and it's a thrill to see those views and shares go up up up, and to see that it's hit reddit, etc... but I am not sure I'd want any of my adult content going viral (unless I was a full-time pornstar and everyone already knew about it).
