If you’re like most creators hustling in the adult content industry, you’ve probably heard it before: “Just post new content, and the fans will come.”
But here’s the cold truth I’ve seen play out time and time again: your captions are the difference between a passive-like and an active, tip-happy fanbase.
Today, I’m going deep into my personal caption formula that has helped creators double and even triple their incomes. Ready to stop blending in and start getting paid for your personality? Let’s get into it!
Why Captions Matter More Than You Think
I see it all the time: amazing creators pouring hours into videos or photos, only to toss off a lazy caption. “New video up.” “Check this out.” That’s not just boring your fans, it’s costing you real money. Your caption is more than a label for your post. It’s your handshake, your flirt, your preview of the experience you’re selling. When you get it right, you transform casual scrollers into dedicated buyers.
The first thing a fan sees is your caption, and it’s also the last thing they’ll remember if they decide to engage (or worse, scroll by). Think of captions as foreplay: they build connection, sell desire, and nudge your fans to take action. In my experience, tweaking this one piece of your content can make your income skyrocket practically overnight.
The 3-Part HBA Formula: Hook, Body, Action
Let’s demystify “good copy” with the straightforward formula I share with every creator: HBA. This stands for Hook, Body, and Action, a rhythm as essential as any tease in your toolbox.
Hook: The scroll-stopper. This first line needs to grab attention immediately. It can be shocking, seductive, intriguing, or just a bold question. If your opening isn’t magnetic, the rest won’t matter.
Body: Here’s where you add context and stakes. You let your fans know what’s at play, why this moment matters, and what’s waiting for them on the other side of that unlock button.
Action: Don’t leave your fans guessing. Be direct and creatively clear about what you want them to do next, Unlock? DM? Tip? This is where you land the sale.
These elements work because they’re so deeply human. They build anticipation (the hook), give a taste of the fantasy or story (the body), and then make the ask crystal clear (the action).
Caption Styles That Build Connection…and Sales
Still feeling stuck? I’ve seen every flavor of a caption, but certain types always perform. Here are my go-to styles, each naturally blending the HBA formula:
Confession: “I shouldn’t be posting this, but I can’t stop watching it back and I really want to make it your problem too. DM me for the full video.”
Question: “Be honest. Would you last more than 30 seconds watching this? Prove it—unlock the video and tell me your score.”
Tease: “This one’s for the ones who like to go slow… and since I know edging is your favorite, DM me for all 10 minutes of it.”
Vibe Check: “Point of view: It’s midnight, you’re tipsy, and I just texted you this video of me. Unlock it if you’re ready for a wild night.”
Story Starter: “The last time I wore this, I got caught doing something I shouldn’t have. DM me—I’ll tell you (or show you) exactly what happened…”
These formats don’t just push content, they invite your fans to play, react, and invest. Remember, what works is what feels specific, playful, and personal.
