Hello, I’m Andrea Geiss, Deirdre’s life partner. I found a little Fanvue hack and I’d like to share it with you.
Have you ever wanted to give someone the link to a specific Fanvue post of yours, and realized that Fanvue doesn’t actually show or offer the links (or URLs, in Internet jargon) of individual posts? Even when you scroll through your own profile, the address bar of your browser just says www.fanvue.com/[your account name].
So suppose you want to give someone, maybe a follower or a subscriber, a direct link to a specific Fanvue post of yours. I’ll show you how to reveal that link for any of your own Fanvue posts.
First of all, view the Fanvue post for which you want a link. In my example, the post is this lovely video of my dearest Deirdre walking in the rain in slow motion, with the most delicious jiggle. Here’s a screenshot of that post:
Edit the post by clicking on the row of three dots in the upper right corner of the post, where it says More options, as I show here…
… and then choose Edit post.
Now look at the address bar. It will say something like
https://www.fanvue.com/post/ff1272a3-4def-4068-ad75-25183ba3e7c1/edit
That’s a real-life example and it really is the direct URL to that lovely jiggly video of Deirdre.
If you remove the /edit bit at the end, you have the URL of that post.
Copy it and paste it to wherever you need to share it. You might even want to paste it into the text of that post, so anyone can use it.
This hack only works on your own posts and other people cannot use it to discover the URLs of your posts.
If the person who uses the link is a follower or subscriber of yours or at least has a Fanvue account, they will be taken directly to your post. If the post is subscriber-only and they are not subscribers, they’ll see it blurred.
This is NOT a “hack” to access subscriber content without being a subscriber or anything like that. It’s just a handy trick to share a specific post.
Have fun! And if you found this tip useful, please let me know in the comments, so I’ll be encouraged to write more.
