The Kinky Dictionary - A Guide to Commonly Used Terms in the Fetish Community

Seller Tips For Sellers Tips For Buyers

Introduction

First off, thank you for taking a moment and giving my first ever blog! I’ll start with a little about myself! I’m a 32yr old female, from Wisconsin (hence Wisco ??). I have been in the SW industry for the last 12 years, starting out as an exotic dancer and then making my way into the online world. I joined ATW in fall of 2020, under a different username. I left when I got pregnant and came back recently in June 2023. Since then, ATW has allowed me to stay home with my littles and do this full time, which I am EXTREMELY, thankful for. However, doing this full time is not for everyone! It can be extremely overwhelming at times and very quiet others. Being a seller takes hard work and dedication. It’s not as simple as just existing and being paid to exist. Earning money here takes work! What you put into it, can be what you get out.

I’ve been asked quite a bit lately, what is your advice for newbies, and that is this…

Take your journey at your own pace. Understand that your first sale may not come on the first month. Buyers love to see your personality shine through in your profile, listings, and your posts. NEVER underestimate your value. Be comfortable saying no! Be true to yourself and who you are, and the buyers you are meant to work with find you. If you are unsure about something, ASK! Most importantly, have fun with what you do here!!

So along with this, I’ve compiled a list of some common words used here, to assist both buyers and sellers. The definitions are not concrete and may vary user to user. I cannot express enough, to ask questions when working with someone so you can fully understand how they define things. I’m sure I missed some common terminology, so I do ask, if you think of anything else that would be important, please put it in the comments so we can build a “glossary” style resource for the users of ATW! Thank you so much for taking the time to read!
