  • Stars Don’t Dance: A Creator Network That Welcomes Sex Workers

    Stars Don’t Dance is a creator network built on inclusivity, empowerment, and economic freedom. We recognize that sex work is work and that sex workers deserve the same opportunities to thrive as any other digital creator. Social media platforms often ban or restrict sex workers, making it difficult for them to connect, grow their audience, or transition into new ventures. This exclusion leaves many without viable income streams—not because of their skills or ambition, but because of systemic stigma, banking discrimination, and criminalization.

    At Stars Don’t Dance, we believe in more options, not fewer. Whether you are currently a sex worker or have a background in the industry, this network provides a supportive space to share knowledge, develop new skills, and build financial independence. We reject narratives that frame sex work solely as exploitation while ignoring the real harm caused by forced exclusion from mainstream opportunities.

    Sex workers are entrepreneurs, performers, marketers, and community builders. They understand audience engagement, content strategy, and branding better than most. At Stars Don’t Dance, we recognize these strengths and provide resources to help creators of all backgrounds succeed.

    If you believe in financial autonomy, creative freedom, and harm reduction, you belong here. This network isn’t about judgment—it’s about options, opportunities, and respect. No one should be locked out of digital spaces because of their past or present work. Stars Don’t Dance stands with sex workers, offering a place where they are valued, not erased.

  • The Pros and Cons of Working with an Approved TikTok Network

    The Pros and Cons of Working with an Approved TikTok Network

    As TikTok continues to dominate the digital landscape, creators are finding new opportunities to grow their audiences, engage with viewers, and monetize their content. One option that has gained traction is partnering with an approved TikTok network. While these networks can provide valuable support, it’s important to understand the benefits and potential drawbacks before deciding if it’s the right fit for you.


    Pros of Working with an Approved TikTok Network

    1. Professional Support and Training
      TikTok networks are experienced in helping creators navigate the platform’s features and best practices. From content strategy to live-streaming techniques, agencies provide tailored training to help you grow your audience and increase your earnings.
    2. Monetization Expertise
      Networks specialize in teaching creators how to maximize TikTok’s monetization tools, such as gifts, subscriptions, and battling. This can significantly boost your income potential by streamlining the process and helping you implement proven strategies.
    3. Community and Networking Opportunities
      Joining an network often connects you with a network of like-minded creators. This community can provide support, collaboration opportunities, and shared knowledge to help you succeed.
    4. Administrative Assistance
      Networks often guide members on the technical and administrative aspects of livestreaming, such as optimizing your profile, troubleshooting platform issues, and ensuring compliance with TikTok’s guidelines, allowing you to focus on creating.
    5. Increased Visibility
      Partnering with an approved network may offer you access to promotional opportunities that enhance your reach, such as featured content, cross-promotions, and collaborations with other creators.

    Cons of Working with an Approved TikTok Agency

    1. Revenue Sharing
      While not all networks take a cut from creators’ income, some do. This means a portion of your earnings might go to the agency in exchange for their services. It’s crucial to understand the terms before signing on. (Note: Networks like Stars Don’t Dance have alternative revenue models to ensure creators retain 100% of their earnings.)
    2. Commitment and Guidelines
      Networks often require creators to meet specific expectations, such as adhering to certain content standards. While these can help with consistency, they might feel restrictive to some creators.
    3. Potential for Oversight
      Working with a network means you’ll likely have guidance and oversight. For creators who prefer complete independence or who are already confident in their strategy, this might feel unnecessary.
    4. Fit and Philosophy
      Not all networks align with every creator’s values or goals. It’s important to find an agency that supports your unique style and aspirations without pushing you into a one-size-fits-all approach.
    5. Selective Acceptance
      Networks often have qualifications for joining, which means not all creators may meet the criteria. This can limit opportunities for some individuals who are just starting out or exploring new avenues.

    The Bottom Line

    Partnering with an approved TikTok network can be a game-changer for creators who want to elevate their presence and earnings on the platform. Networks provide invaluable resources, guidance, and opportunities that are often hard to achieve independently. However, it’s essential to weigh the pros and cons carefully and ensure the agency’s model aligns with your goals.

    At Stars Don’t Dance, we believe in empowering creators while respecting their independence. Our unique approach ensures that creators retain 100% of their earnings while benefiting from expert training, mentorship, and a supportive community. If you’re considering joining a network, we encourage you to explore your options and choose a partner that truly prioritizes your success.
