Am I doing this wrong with my FYP?

Summary

I get how overwhelming the FYP settings can feel when you’re just starting out, and it’s easy to mix up preview clips with PPV posts. My own experience shows that stepping back and testing simple changes often clears the confusion faster than trying to fix everything at once.

[How Should New Performers Use PPV for FYP Content?]

When you want a clip to appear on the For You Page you need to make sure the platform treats it as a free preview, not a paid PPV offering; otherwise the algorithm may not push it. I’ve seen creators add a short teaser, enable the FYP toggle, and then move that same clip to a private wall so only paying fans can view the full version later. The main question is whether the original PPV post should stay public or be replaced by the short clip alone. Moving those older PPV posts to a private area can hide the paid tags, but it also removes any residual traffic they might have generated, so you need to decide if the trade‑off is worth it. Think about how the preview will look on your profile before you publish.

[Can Moving Old Posts Hide All PPV Content?]

If you shift every previous post that contains a PPV tag into a private wall, the platform will no longer display those items in public feeds, effectively removing them from search results and the FYP pool. However, the hidden posts may still be accessible to anyone with the direct link, and the act of moving them does not automatically delete the PPV metadata from the system. This raises the question of whether you should delete the old posts entirely or simply archive them behind a private wall.

[What Is the Best Way to Create FYP Clips?]

The safest approach is to create a brand‑new short video that contains no PPV label, add a free preview tag, and upload it directly to the public feed with the FYP toggle turned on; this gives the algorithm a clean signal to promote the clip. Once the clip gains traction, you can reuse the same footage on a private wall without the PPV tag, preserving the original public momentum while keeping premium content protected.
