💬 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

  1. Write your problem as a question. "How can I get more tips this month?"
  2. Write 20 answers, no matter how simple, silly or obvious.
  3. Don't judge while writing. Quantity first, quality later.
  4. Circle your top 3. Easy to do, fun for you, likely to work.
  5. 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

  1. Video call to action. A short, sweet video asking fans to tip if they enjoy your content.
  2. "Tips appreciated" note in your bio or captions.
  3. Bonus for tippers: an extra photo or clip as a thank-you.
  4. Public shout-outs for tippers in a post or live (with their OK).
  5. A tip campaign: a few posts explaining what tips help you create.
  6. Tip menu: voice note, custom photo, rating at set prices.
  7. Dare game: fans tip to choose a playful dare.
  8. Top tipper perks for your biggest supporters.
  9. Personal thank-you message or voice note after each tip.
  10. Automated welcome and thank-you messages (using your platform's tools).
  11. Share your goals: new lingerie, a new camera, a photoshoot.
  12. Behind-the-scenes content unlocked by tips.
  13. Tip happy hour: a special window with bonus rewards.
  14. Live session reactions when someone tips.
  15. Thank your supporters on your free Telegram channel or socials (without naming them unless they agree).
  16. Contest for tippers with an exclusive prize (check platform rules).
  17. Fan testimonials about why they support you.
  18. A heartfelt video about what tips mean to you.
  19. Gentle reminders in recurring posts.
  20. 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.

The 20-ideas method works for everything:

  • "How can I make my Telegram channel more active?"

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.

Bottom line

When you're stuck, don't wait for inspiration. Grab a pen, write 20 ideas, and let the last ones surprise you.
