Due to all the restrictions attendant to the current coronavirus pandemic—mainly social distancing and lockdown rules— with the current studio shutdown, adult performers are facing a severe economic blow—and FanCentro wants to help.
According to the company's calculations, there are more than 1 million sex workers who are out of work and cannot get covered by unemployment programs. Many of them are left out alone due to changing reality and the impossibility to earn money in the usual way, and what is worse, they have no idea where to seek for help and whom to address.
FanCentro, the adult entertainment platform, realizing the damage the coronavirus lockdown has brought to the adult industry, has come out with initiatives to support sex workers who have gotten stuck without an income, PPE, and means for living. Being one of the major players in the industry, FanCentro launched a social campaign “StayHome” aimed at helping and informing people in the adult industry.
The "StayHome" campaign is driven by the will to support the adult community, draw attention to this problem, give voice to people who need to be heard on one hand, and to support and entertain people and fans who stay at home on the other. It's largely in an effort to bring attention to the challenges sex workers go through and help inform them that there is a way out.
FanCentro has launched a contingency plan for sex workers to ensure that new influencers are fully supported during the pandemic crisis. FanCentro's team has decided to offer a 90% payout for 90 days to all new influencers who sign up by April 30, 2020. As the remaining 10% will cover billing costs, FanCentro will not take any portion of the profits, so new models can earn more to get started. Additionally, new influencers will receive a complimentary promotion by being featured in emails to FanCentro's fanbase for them to find new fans.
We realize that some new influencers will come from related spheres, and the experience to work as a cam model may be challenging to enhance at once, so FanCentro has their backs as well. It has launched an educational platform, to answer all the questions and to support new influencers 24/7 on their every step.
At the same time, FanCentro's influencers are worried about the shortage of PPE and masks for the medical professionals on the epidemics' frontline and are eager to help to rectify this shortage.
To address these challenges, FanCentro is launching a second campaign "FU Corona" to help by donating masks to medical professionals in need through influencers. Influencers will encourage their fans to buy masks and donate PPEs whenever fans purchase access to influencers' FanCentro pages. The more fans there are, the more masks can be sent to hospitals.
FanCentro has also offered to answer any question influencers and fans may have and are ready to support dialogue on these topics within the industry.
