Here are two things…
One: The daily grind of online sex work is… a grind. Yes, there’s fun to be had and yes the work is certainly satisfying in many ways, but the day in/day out is also there — just like with any other job.
And two: One thing that breaks that grind up is holidays. Now, we have The Holiday Season, which loosely defined is mid-November-ish though January 2. There are also all the seasonal holidays — the types of dates that big sites often run promos around. Think Valentine’s Day and 4th of July and, like, Flag Day. (Yes, Flag Day is a real “holiday” — June 14th — and yes I was just joking. I have never seen a promo around Flag Day.)
All this big conventional holidays are great, but there are also 8 million other “holidays” out there in terms of named daily celebrations that you can use to make creative content and run your own promos.
For instance, National Cookie Day is December 4th. It may sound silly — or, it may sound brilliant?! What can you do with National Cookie Day? What could you create? What kinds of engagement could you foster? What kinds of double entendres could you play off of?!
In this vein, there’s also:
National Librarian Day (today/April 6) — This one is too easy!
But don’t get bummed because there is plenty of time to prep up for National Nurses Day (May 6) — Also, so easy!
National Pink Day (June 23) — Come on!
National Ice Cream Day (July 19) — Delicious!
Left Handers’ Day (August 13) — Why not?!
…and about one million others!
And we cannot forget about the sexy days. Things like:
Make Out Day (May 5)
69 Day (June 9) — Get it?! The date is June 9, like 6/9!
Oral Sex Day — September 25
…and about one million others!
Literally, there is a “day” every single day of the year. How fun could it be to do a little spring refreshing and planning via looking up all the days and picking a few that connect with you to do a little content planning around? Why not!
