20 Ideas, Zero Excuses: The Brainstorm Method That Gets You More Tips
💬 Stuck? Ask the free creators help group on Telegram
Stuck on a problem? Write it as a question, then force yourself to write 20 answers. Not 3, not 5: twenty. The first few will be obvious. Somewhere around number 12, your brain starts getting creative. That's where the good ideas hide. One idea fans keep paying for is a personal rating, and our guide to dick rating services covers it step by step.
That's the 20-ideas method. Here's how it works, with a real example: getting more tips on OnlyFans, Fansly, MYM Fans and Fanvue.
How the method works
- Write your problem as a question. "How can I get more tips this month?"
- Write 20 answers, no matter how simple, silly or obvious.
- Don't judge while writing. Quantity first, quality later.
- Circle your top 3. Easy to do, fun for you, likely to work.
- Test them for two weeks, then keep what worked.
The first ideas are everyone's ideas. The last ones are yours.
Example: 20 ways to get more tips
- Video call to action. A short, sweet video asking fans to tip if they enjoy your content.
- "Tips appreciated" note in your bio or captions.
- Bonus for tippers: an extra photo or clip as a thank-you.
- Public shout-outs for tippers in a post or live (with their OK).
- A tip campaign: a few posts explaining what tips help you create.
- Tip menu: voice note, custom photo, rating at set prices.
- Dare game: fans tip to choose a playful dare.
- Top tipper perks for your biggest supporters.
- Personal thank-you message or voice note after each tip.
- Automated welcome and thank-you messages (using your platform's tools).
- Share your goals: new lingerie, a new camera, a photoshoot.
- Behind-the-scenes content unlocked by tips.
- Tip happy hour: a special window with bonus rewards.
- Live session reactions when someone tips.
- Thank your supporters on your free Telegram channel or socials (without naming them unless they agree).
- Contest for tippers with an exclusive prize (check platform rules).
- Fan testimonials about why they support you.
- A heartfelt video about what tips mean to you.
- Gentle reminders in recurring posts.
- Supporter titles or badges for regular tippers ("my VIP," "my favorite").
How to pick your top 3
| Criteria | Question to ask |
|---|---|
| Effort | Can I do this this week? |
| Fun | Will I enjoy doing it? |
| Fit | Does it match my brand? |
| Impact | Will fans actually notice? |
For example, #6 (tip menu), #13 (happy hour) and #20 (supporter titles) are quick to set up and work well together. Pair them with the bauble game for a fun month.

FAQ
What is the 20-ideas method?
It's a brainstorming technique: write your problem as a question, then force yourself to list 20 possible answers. The first ideas are obvious; the later ones are often the most creative.
How can I get more tips on OnlyFans?
Create a clear tip menu, thank tippers personally, offer small bonuses, run fun games or dares, share your goals and set occasional "happy hours" with special rewards.
Should I ask fans for tips directly?
Yes, gently and occasionally. A sweet, honest ask with a reason ("help me get the new outfit you voted for") works better than constant reminders.
Can I run contests for tippers?
Often yes, but rules vary by platform and location. Check your platform's current terms before running contests or giveaways.
How many ideas should I test at once?
Two or three. Test them for about two weeks, measure the results, then keep what works.
