Ready to move on - need advice for a new method

[Rifle33]

I have two methods working and two income streams. Unable to scale it anymore and still demanding some manual work, but the earnings are very good and I feel comfortable with them. It's time to look for something new and experiment with some new methods. I will need advice or two from you - dear experienced colleagues.

1. I wanted to promote some OF models and tried for a few days. I get a few subs, but need to be very careful with Reddit as I lost few accounts very quickly. I am very experienced with Reddit, but not in nsfw niche. So, that's a new start for me. Then I get an idea to try something I wanted for a long time - niche adult tube. I would invest in KVS, offshore hosting, VPN and I already got an idea how to get a traffic from Reddit. Since porn uploading is very saturated, I am not 100% about this, but I would go into one niche and already got a plan of promoting. Probably would like to try, but I need a few good advices here. Also, is it better idea to stick with promoting OF modesl or to go into my own adult tube in specific porn niche?
2. Travel channel - I love to travel and I'm travelling around the world for many years. Every year I've got at least one big trip and few smaller. I enjoy planning, finding cheap flights and great value for money on the way. I'd like to try with deals/tips channel on tik tok/shorts - linking to my landing page or a website with current travel deals or directly to the deal site (like air tickets or accomodation). I know this niche is also saturated, mostly with travel influencers and I still don't know how to exploit this method, so it would be experimenting and trying for some time until I find out what's the best. But, since I am not experienced here, I need a few advices.

Anything you have to say that might help me is really appreciated. I am just contemplating and reading a lot about these niches, but it would be great to talk to someone who's got experience in this. Thank you!

From my experience, if you already have some momentum with Reddit, promoting OF models might be the easier short-term play since you can leverage what you know, but the adult tube could be a stronger long-term asset if you carve out a solid niche and build traffic independence (just expect heavier upfront work with KVS, hosting, and content). As for the travel channel, TikTok/shorts in that niche works best when you focus on a unique angle like ultra-budget hacks, hidden gems, or personal storytelling rather than generic deal reposts since that’s what sets you apart from the saturated influencer crowd. Both directions can work, so I’d test small, double down on what shows traction, and make sure whichever you choose has room to scale without being too dependent on platforms deleting accounts

Oh sorry, why are you not thinking along the line of proper YouTube as well for the travel channel?
It might take a little bit more work to edit a full-length video but you can post those on YouTube while also sharing shorts on TikTok.

I watch a lot of these guys who travel the world... at least the ones I know and follow well. It’s a really nice niche and since you’re already into traveling, maybe you can do more with it than just short videos or deals.

What I’m really trying to say is that you could start building your name as a brand with longer videos and even make revenue from it, which would also help boost your shorts as you grow

For the travel idea, have you thought about focusing on micro-niches, like budget backpacking or luxury deals?

thanks, you're absolutely right, but I'd like to avoid showing my face and the niche is very saturated by the influencers who actually spend most of their lives travelling and creating content. So, I might be interested in a small niche like travel hacks, deals, etc.

Yes, luxury deals could play, but I'd like to hear experiences from people who tried something similar in travel niche. How to monetize the content (commission from air tickets and hotels is not very high), where to put the main focus, should I have a website or a landing page or just send traffic from tiktok/shorts directly to the offers?
