How to Build a Following with SlowMotionBlowJob.com Creator Camille Crimson

Getting people to support your project can be difficult. It helps if you already have an following or audience that you can ask to help support your project. However, what if you don’t have a following? How do you build one?

Today we invited Camille Crimson, founder and model of the popular website TheArtOfBlowJob.com and the newly launched SlowMotionBlowJob.com, to share how she keeps blowjobs interesting and how she builds a loyal following.

First off, how would you describe yourself and your occupation?

I’m the model and webmaster of TheArtofBlowjob.com and SlowMotionBlowjob.com.  I focus on making beautiful porn devoted to the sensuality of oral sex.

Tell us more about Slow Motion Blowjob. What is the site about and where’d you get the inspiration for it?

The site is, as the name suggests, about slow motion blowjobs.  We shoot the blowjobs on a specific slow motion setting, placing shots that really emphasize the detail of oral sex.  The result is very sumptuous and sensual blowjob videos that you can practically feel.  It’s a hypnotic kind of eroticism.  The videos are much longer than the typical video we have on The Art of Blowjob, but they’re set to a similar kind of trance background music.  It’s really an entirely different sensory experience…  It’s really, really beautiful.

How did you get the website built? Did you find contractors? Or did you do everything yourself? How long did the whole process take?

I do it all by myself.  It wasn’t an extremely long process, because I’ve refined my way of doing things through the various iterations of TheArtofBlowjob.com.  The trick is mostly fitting in the time to build the website with everything else I have to do to shoot for both sites and maintain my online presence.

The quality of your videos is really top notch, how long does it take to film and edit a video?

The filming itself doesn’t take that long.  Set-up can take a while, but the filming itself is only slightly longer than the end result.  We don’t stop and start much…  We try to preserve the intimacy and authenticity as much as possible.  As for the editing, it depends.  Sometimes everything just comes together in a few hours, but other times we like to experiment more and take our time…  We don’t like to rush, so we take the time it requires.

How do you keep the content fresh and interesting when each clip is a blowjob?

The main thing that keeps it fresh is just the attitude with which we approach every video.  It’s real, so you get the giggles, the anticipation, the connection…  We change locations, themes, outfits, focuses, other sex acts, but all of that comes second to the natural evolution of our relationship.

You’ve been working on erotic / porn websites as early as 2006. What if anything has changed either for the better or worse since then?

It feels like things shift pretty frequently in terms of the best way to share our content and the ways to connect with people, but the fundamental need to reach out to people and be yourself is the same.  Styles may come and go and technologies will evolve, but personality and authenticity will always keep people interested.

We’ve talked to many in the industry who throw up their hands and complain that “there simply is no money in porn”, is this true? What do you think?

Because we started later in the game relatively speaking, we never worked in porn while you could post one picture and make a million dollars.  We’ve always had to work smart and be innovative.  I don’t think that has changed since we’ve been in the industry.  There’s still money, you just have to be prepared to evolve and be thoughtful about what you do.

We know you are very active with on social media what sites or services have worked best for you?

Twitter is amazing.  I’m a huge fan.  It’s a great way to communicate and make connections.  It’s important to find a balance between getting a larger message out there, sharing minutiae of your life and advertising your work…  But if you can find that equilibrium, it can be tremendously useful.  It’s important to have a web presence everywhere you can (within reason) but Twitter is usually my biggest social network because it’s pretty adult-friendly and the sharing/trending functions are straight-forward.

Some people think social media is a waste of time. Why do you spend the time?

I get great feedback, I make genuine relationships with fans and other pornographers alike, it can be a great traffic generator if you know how to work it…  It’s just a great way to spread the message of beautiful porn.

What’s the best way to engage people either fans or potential fans? How do you engage them without seeming like you are just trying to sell memberships to your site (which is what ideally what you would want)?

I try to create ways for people to get involved in the conversation by asking questions, whether it’s about porn, sexuality, my work in particular or just life.  It breaks the ice and we’re able to create a rapport.  It takes time, but that’s the most genuine way to gain trust…  Just be yourself and be interested in others instead of just pushing an agenda.  Also, I share photos and links with some thoughtful writing, which always makes people happy.  It gives them a little free taste, a little insight and they are welcome to get more by joining.

What tips or strategies do you use to build a following? A lot of people want to have an audience, but when you start it’s difficult since no one knows you. What has worked for you?

Making great work and getting people to notice you is the best way.  Sharing on blogs or tubes or sites with great social media presence means that they will likely share your content with their followers, including a link to your social media.  Then, once you have some followers, be interesting and they’ll be likely to share you with more people, who will in turn follow you…  It’s all pretty obvious, but being interesting is harder than it sounds.  I’m always tweaking the way I share things to make people happy while still being honest with myself.

What’s next for Camille Crimson? Maybe FastMotionBlowJobs.com??

Probably not fast motion.  I’d get seasick watching it.  ;)  We’re working on a lot of new projects, but nothing we’re quite ready to share yet…  Hopefully I’ll be back here pretty soon to share my next endeavour, maybe with an Offbeatr campaign of my own!
