Best Practices

Guidance from experienced creators on making the most of Vidor — from setup through delivery and growth.

Setting Up for Success

Your profile is your storefront. Fans make a decision about whether to book based largely on what they see before they ever interact with you. A strong profile leads to stronger conversion.

Use High-Quality Images

Your profile picture and cover photo are the first things fans see. Use well-lit, high-resolution photos that look professional and reflect your brand. Blurry, dark, or low-effort images signal a low-effort experience — even if that's not accurate. Invest a few minutes getting a good shot.

Write a Clear, Specific Bio

Your bio should answer two questions a new visitor has: "Who is this person?" and "Why should I book a call with them?" Be concrete. Instead of "I love connecting with fans," try "I'm a pop singer who loves chatting about music production, tour life, and creative process. Book a call to talk about all of it." Specific bios outperform generic ones.

Add Media

Upload photos, clips, or other content to your profile beyond just the basics. Media gives your profile depth and lets fans get a sense of you before they commit to booking. Think of it as the difference between a blank listing and one with a photo gallery.

Preview Before You Share

Always use the profile preview to see what fans see before you post your booking link publicly. Check that everything looks right, packages read clearly, and your rules are visible and accurate.

Pricing Strategies

Pricing is personal, and there's no single right answer. But there are strategies that tend to work well.

Start Where You're Comfortable

Don't underprice to attract bookings at the cost of your own time and energy. Start at a rate that reflects what an hour of your time is genuinely worth to you, then adjust based on demand. You can always lower prices — raising them is harder once fans expect a certain price point.

Offer Multiple Price Points

Create packages at different durations and prices. A 5-minute option at a low price lowers the barrier to entry for fans who are on the fence. A 30- or 60-minute package at a higher price serves fans who want a more substantial experience. Multiple tiers serve more of your audience.

Think About Time Holistically

When pricing a session, don't just think about the minutes on the call. Think about the total time it costs you: time before the session (getting ready, reviewing any notes), time on the call, and time after (any follow-up, recovery time). Price accordingly.

Adjust Based on Demand

If you're consistently booked out, raise your prices. Higher prices for limited availability is a normal and healthy dynamic. If bookings are slow, consider whether pricing is the issue — but also consider whether your promotion strategy or profile needs work first.

Managing Your Availability

Your availability settings directly affect your quality of life and the quality of your sessions. Set them carefully.

Be Realistic

Only open availability for hours when you're genuinely able to be present and engaged. Don't open up 10-hour windows just to maximize potential bookings. Spreading yourself thin leads to fatigue and lower-quality sessions. Your fans can tell the difference.

Use Buffer Times

Always set buffer time between sessions. Back-to-back calls with no gap lead to burnout quickly. A 10–15 minute buffer between sessions gives you time to decompress, drink water, review your notes for the next fan, and arrive ready to give a good session.

Block Breaks

Use the daily break feature to block out a consistent rest period during your available hours. Protecting a lunch break, a workout window, or a mid-day reset makes a meaningful difference in your energy level across a full day of calls.

Update Regularly

Keep your availability current. If your schedule changes — travel, illness, a busy week — update it proactively. Fans booking into slots you can't actually fulfill creates problems for everyone and damages trust.

Promoting Your Booking Link

Your booking link only works if people see it. Promotion is as important as setup.

Put It on Your Existing Platforms

Add your Vidor link to your bio on every platform where you have a following — Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, YouTube, Twitch, your website. If you use Linktree or a similar link aggregator, add Vidor there too. Make it easy to find.

Mention It in Your Content

Reference your Vidor link in your content — mention it verbally in videos, add it to your description, include it in your Stories. Fans who watch your content and feel a connection to you are your highest-converting audience. Tell them the option exists.

Announce When You Add Availability

When you open up new time slots, post about it. "Just added calls for next weekend — link in bio if you want to book one" is a simple, effective announcement. Creating urgency around limited availability drives bookings.

Use DMs Strategically

When a fan reaches out through DMs asking to chat or asking how to connect, that's a natural opportunity to share your booking link. You don't need to be pushy — simply mention that you do 1:1 calls on Vidor and share the link.

Delivering Great Sessions

The experience fans have on calls is the biggest driver of repeat bookings and word-of-mouth. Deliver consistently good sessions.

Be On Time

Fans have paid for your time and planned their day around the session. Being late — even a few minutes — signals that you don't value their time. Join your call interface a few minutes before the start time so you're ready to admit the fan at the scheduled moment.

Be Present

Put your phone away, close other tabs, and give the fan your full attention. Fans notice when you're distracted. A fan who feels genuinely heard and engaged with will book again. One who feels like a transaction probably won't.

Set Expectations Early

In the first 30 seconds of a session, briefly set the frame: "We've got 15 minutes — what do you want to make sure we cover?" This puts the fan at ease, establishes that you're organized, and ensures you spend the session on what matters to them.

End Gracefully

When the session timer is approaching its end, give the fan a heads-up: "We've got about a minute left — is there anything else quick you want to say?" Ending a session abruptly when the timer hits zero feels jarring. A warm close — "This was really fun, thanks for booking" — leaves a strong impression.

Building Repeat Bookings

Repeat fans are your most valuable fans — they book more, tip more, and refer others. Build toward them intentionally.

Consistent Quality

Every session should feel like you showed up for it. The fan who books a 5-minute call deserves the same energy and presence as the fan who books a 60-minute call. Consistency is what converts one-time bookers into regulars.

Remember Returning Fans

If a fan has booked with you before and you recognize their name or remember something from your last call, mention it. "I remember we talked about your trip last time — how did that go?" creates a sense of genuine relationship. Fans who feel remembered come back.

Acknowledge Tips Warmly

When a fan sends a tip or buys a gift during the call, acknowledge it with warmth and authenticity. A simple "thank you so much, that's really kind" goes a long way. Don't ignore them; don't be performatively over-the-top. Be genuine.

Invite Feedback

At the end of a session, a simple "Is there anything that would have made this better for you?" invites honesty and shows you care about the experience. Most fans won't give critical feedback — but some will, and it's valuable. And the act of asking itself signals that you're invested in quality.
