At any point we should be able to open your drive, pick a folder and know straight away what can be sold, where it belongs and how strong it is. No guessing, no scrolling through camera roll dumps.
The simple structure we want
We keep the base map the same for almost every Prosper creator so our team can move quickly.
- One main root folder for your creator name.
- Inside that, a small set of clear sub folders.
- Inside each sub folder, shoot folders with dates and short labels.
- Images and clips separated just enough that we can see what is what at a glance.
Top level folders
- 01 Feed and story for general posting.
- 02 PPV and offers for paid content.
- 03 Customs and VIP for higher ticket pieces.
- 04 Promo and profile for banners, avatars and social teasers.
- 05 Admin for ID checks, contracts and non content files.
Shoot folder naming
- Date first so folders sort in order, for example 2025 02 18.
- Short description after the date, for example black set bedroom.
- Keep naming consistent so you can find the same look months later.
How we separate photos and videos
We do not need ten layers of folders. We just need enough separation that grabbing the right type of file is quick.
Inside a shoot folder
- One folder for stills.
- One folder for video.
- Optional extra folder for phone behind the scenes if you film both.
Why this helps
- Faster to build carousels and banners from stills.
- Faster to grab clips that suit PPV or customs.
- Less time wasted dragging random screenshots out of mixed folders.
File naming so we know how strong a piece is
We do not need you to rename every file. We only need simple tags on your favourites.
- Pick the best frames from each look and tag them with a short code at the end.
- Examples of tags: feed, ppv, vip, promo, story.
- If a clip needs context, add one or two words such as shower, toy, talking.

Dealing with your existing content mess
Most creators do not start organised. That is fine. We just need a simple clean up.
Drag old content into folders by year first so it is not all sitting on your phone or desktop. For example 2023 archive and 2024 archive.
Inside each year, create shoot folders only for the sets you still like and would sell again. Ignore the rest for now rather than trying to sort everything at once.
In each chosen shoot, tag a small batch of favourites with simple codes like feed, ppv or vip. That is enough for us to start building offers from your back catalogue.
How this plugs into Prosper’s workflow
When your structure is in place, our team can treat your folders like a menu instead of a mystery box.
For posts
- We pull from feed and story folders first so your page stays active.
- We balance older and newer looks so your feed stays varied.
- We match visuals to upcoming campaigns and calendar moments.
For DMs and offers
- We move through ppv and vip folders when building upsells.
- We know which clips are safe for smaller buyers and which to reserve.
- We can plan bundles across multiple shoots without double selling the same piece.
What we ask from you each month
Once the base is set, you do not have to spend hours in folders. You just keep the system topped up.
- After a shoot or content day, upload into the right top level folder and shoot folder.
- Tag the strongest pieces while it is fresh in your head.
- Flag any content you never want us to use so we skip it.
- Tell us if you add a new look or concept so we can shape offers around it.
That is enough to turn your content into a library we can keep pulling money from as your page grows.
