5 guys gave me $28,000. Here's exactly how I found them and kept them.

Forget the 100 guys tipping you $1. You want the 5 guys tipping you $1000.

My whales have given me $28,000+ combined. They pay my rent, my car, my life.

What Makes a Whale

A whale isn't just a big tipper. A whale is:

Where Whales Come From

Whales don't appear day one. They evolve:

  1. Week 1-2: Random viewer, maybe tips 20 tokens
  2. Week 3-4: Becomes regular, tips 100-200 per show
  3. Month 2: First big tip (500+), testing waters
  4. Month 3: Regular big tips, private shows
  5. Month 4+: Full whale status

The key: Recognizing potential whales early and cultivating them.

When Whales Leave

Whales leave. It's business. When they do:

I've lost 3 whales. Found 5 more. It's a numbers game.

The Economics of Whale Hunting

Regular viewer strategy: 100 viewers × $10 = $1,000

Whale strategy: 5 whales × $200 = $1,000

Same money. 95% less work.

5 guys pay my entire lifestyle. Not 500. Not 50. Five.
