Trending—Explained

Have you suddenly seen 🔥 appear next to your name on your profile? You can earn that hot, little emoji and a spot on the Trending Models page if you are one of the models who has had the most credits* spent on you in the last 24 hours.

Notice that trending is about the amount users spent, not the amount you earned. If a user tips you $50, you earn $40 (80% payout for tips). If a user spends $50 on a video call, you earn $37.50 (75% payout). Even though you’ve earned a little less from that video call, the $50 spent is what counts for trending. All that’s to say, tips won’t get you closer to trending than any other spending category. As long as it’s raining, it doesn’t matter which bucket (e.g., messages, calls) that cash falls in.

The Trending page accounts for the last 24 hours and refreshes every half hour. For example, at the 5:30pm refresh that you see, the newest half hour from 5:00-5:29pm is counted and the previous day’s 5:00–5:29pm no longer counts. The Trending page updates this way for fairness and freshness. Everyone works across multiple time zones and has different peak hours during any given day, and users want to see who’s most popular most recently.

The little green arrows with numbers on the Trending page indicate how many spots a model has moved up among the Trending models, not overall rank or category rank. For example, if you see a ^2 by your icon, it means you’ve moved up two spots on most credits spent on you in the past 24 hours, not two spots in your overall rank.

The baseline amount of credits spent on you to get that Trending status constantly changes because it’s all relative to how many credits users spend on other models and how quickly that credit spend happens. How long you keep your Trending status is also unpredictable for the same reason. Try not to get discouraged if you are having a good earnings day but still aren’t hitting trending; it’s possible that the steady spend on you will bump you to trending later as previously trending models fall off that half-an-hour refresh.

Just remember that while it’s a nice boost to be trending and it increases your visibility to users, you can also increase your visibility by staying active on the site so that you appear toward the top of the Online Now, Phone Sex, and Video Calls pages.
