Abigaiil Morris often dreamed about doing adult industry work, even as she pursued more mainstream fare over the years. She felt that she owed it to herself to give the everyday run-of-the-mill type of jobs a shot first, performing office duties, data analytics, permitting, retail and assisting on non-adult film sets.
Yet throughout all of that time, she still felt deeper in her bones that sex work is where she was destined to find her true passion. A week after she turned 18, she started an Instagram page and began building a following, which set her on her path to creating content of a NSFW variety.
I give them my time, my attention and basically give them my all for those live streams, and I feel that they do the same for me.
Since she comes from a larger family, she had long ago learned how to develop a really strong work ethic, and she brought that devotion to what she does on professional sets, for her cam shows and her premium social media.
With scenes for renowned studios like Reality Kings and Brazzers, for whom she stars in their latest season of “Brazzers House” where she won a coveted ZZ contract, Morris balances pro shoots with indie creation and live streaming twice a week.
Flexing her redheaded bombshell brand and geeky creds as a cosplayer who can transform into fan favorites ranging from Jessica Rabbit to Spider-Woman and even Maleficent, the multifaceted star has amassed nearly three million followers on social media across Instagram and Twitter, while garnering over 350,000 likes on her OnlyFans.
As Cam Star of the Month, Morris opens up about her monetization strategies, her camming tricks of the trade and personal goals.
XBIZ: What do your live shows usually consist of as far as chat goals and banter with fans?
MORRIS: My live shows are very open-minded. I have goals in every stream, but there’s never any strict pressure as in “if we don’t hit this goal, I’m leaving.” I love to take the time to talk with my fans, engaging followers while getting to know them and letting them get to know me. In turn, they’re always supporting me as well. It’s very much a two-way street.
I give them my time, my attention and basically give them my all for those live streams, and I feel that they do the same for me. We hit the goals and everyone is happy! On the rare occasion we didn’t hit the higher goals, we still chat and I learn more about what they expect from my live streams, what they would like more of in general and also I get to be my dorky real self with them as well.
XBIZ: How do you balance content creation and streaming?
MORRIS: To be honest, I schedule my life in a way where I can balance not only streaming and content creation, but also mainstream shoots, traveling, conventions and much more. So my schedule is typically pretty tight. I stream on OnlyFans every Wednesday and Saturday typically around 7:30 p.m. (PST). Most of my following in the US originated on the east coast but in the last couple years there’s been a major influx from the west coast so I feel it’s important to find a time that’s convenient not only for me but for other states, and even people in other countries who want to view. It’s never going to be a perfect system but I feel like with the right amount of scheduling and effort we always make it work.
XBIZ: Talk about your cam room setup. What kind of hardware (computer, lighting, camera etc.), room decor and wardrobe do you use?
MORRIS: This one is a little complicated. I used to stream from a PC, then for a while I had a fancy webcam setup and full-studio style approach. However, I noticed from my fan base specifically, they like it more raw. They like me. So recently, while I make sure I have good lighting, I have begun using my phones (either the Galaxy S23 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max) for streaming. It’s good quality but not over the top as if I’m going for the professional look. I want it to be more personal.
I love to play dress up, so I explore my passion during streams. I’ll do nerdy cosplays, hucow hentai doll looks or maybe even just a cute school girl look. I have even done a full-blown latex Dominatrix. Occasionally, I’ll hop on in a tank top and some tiny little panties as well. I guess I pick based on what kind of mood I’m in, or I’ll start a poll and let my fan base decide. I don’t have a specific room that I do my content or streaming in; instead, I have multiple rooms in my house decorated with collectibles or things that show my nerdy and dorky personality, and even a room with all my stuffed animals and pastel pink things where I can just be a princess.
XBIZ: Discuss the “Abigaiil Morris” brand in a nutshell. What’s your overall vibe, look and personality?
MORRIS: I’m not sure how I would describe my brand other than to say it’s just me. I don’t have a look where I can outwardly say I’m alternative/ edgy, or a pastel princess. I’m just me. I have a very nerdy background and I’m a collector of action figures, Funko Pop and Nike Jordans. However, I don’t feel like that’s my brand or personality. That’s just part of me and who I am. I have always wanted my brand to be incomparable to anyone else’s. I don’t want to be remembered as a second version of someone else or a wannabe. I am me. My choices, my decisions, my start in the industry and even my personality are unique in their own way and in a way I don’t think I can describe in one sentence. One thing is for sure, I’m unpredictable.
XBIZ: What lessons from shooting professional studio scenes have improved your skills for content and streaming?
MORRIS: Talking! When I first started in adult work, especially filming my own solo content, I was silent. I was so afraid or embarrassed to talk. I would always think “what if I say the wrong thing?” or “what if I sound weird?” And doing JOIs for OnlyFans helped a little, but even my live streams in the beginning I wouldn’t make a peep unless it was to answer a question that I could rehearse the answer to in my head three times before.
Getting into studio/mainstream shoots changed that a lot for me. One director specifically helped me a lot by telling me “they’re your fans, they just want to hear you, you can literally repeat back to them exactly what they’re watching and it will be hot because they’re watching to see and hear you” and that helped me in a lot of ways to realize that yes … the people paying for or willingly viewing my scenes wouldn’t be watching if they didn’t want to see me. And it helped me come out of my shell a lot and just say, scream or moan whatever comes in the moment.
XBIZ: Tell us about your experiences on “Brazzers House” and what that’s been like. Any other big shoots this past year or coming up on the horizon you’re especially proud of?
MORRIS: “Brazzers House” was very unexpected for me! It’s not something I can say I ever imagined myself doing. It was described to me as a reality TV show for porn and when I watched some of the previous season’s episodes to get a better idea of what it was I was very much like “Yeah, I don’t know if I’m dramatic enough for this.” It was a difficult decision for me to make. I wanted to do it for the exposure, but mainly to get to see and build a better relationship with so many of the other talent that I want to work with for the foreseeable future.
It seemed like the perfect opportunity to make myself get out there, be social and get to fuck everyone I’ve been wanting to fuck. I just didn’t want to do that at the risk of branding myself, or portraying myself as something that I am not. I decided to do it and went into it with my head on straight. Every interview and every competition I enjoyed it to the fullest, but everyone knew I wasn’t fighting for a contract. If I win, that’s awesome. And I’ll thank my fans forever for picking me, but if I don’t. I wasn’t there for that. I had amazing sex, built friendships and had experiences that I’m really thankful for.
XBIZ: What’s your approach to staying on top of social media marketing, given the considerable traffic you generate?
MORRIS: My approach is very much to take it day by day. Some days I’m impeccable at staying on top of all of the social media and streaming. The other parts of my businesses, personal life and much more takes my attention off of it. Like anyone else, I’m human. I do try to balance it by having a list and schedule of when I need to post what and having the capability on most platforms to schedule things in advance is a life-saver, but like everyone else, my plans are never perfect.
My partners help me a lot with that. We have built a team together where we cover every aspect of our business together so that I don’t need to rely on companies or agencies for help. Days where I’m running behind or have too much on my plate, they definitely step up and are there for me.
XBIZ: When you’re not working, what do you do for fun?
MORRIS: I love to swim, travel, hike, etc. I have to say though, I spend 90 percent of my free time playing video games or playing with my dogs. I have eight pets: six dogs and two-bearded dragons, and I want more! I’d have a farm if I had the time for it. I’ve always been obsessed with animals. They have my heart. But yes, if I’m not snuggling my puppies, I’m blasting heads off in Call of Duty or Fortnite, killing Clickers in The Last of Us or just shutting off my brain and relaxing with Borderlands. I also love comic conventions! I’ve been going as a fan since I was 18 and just fell in love.
The experience of having the freedom to be a nerd with other nerds, the intricate cosplays and the well-thought out environments … every type of nerd is accepted and welcomed. Having now built my own following, I love to go there to meet my fans and give them that experience that I loved having for so many years as a fan myself, to become their favorite characters and give them photos, prints and experiences they’ll always remember.
XBIZ: Any big goals for the coming year, professionally or personally?
MORRIS: That question for me is a double-edged sword. I don’t have any specific goals. I have all of the goals. I want to see how far, how big and how much I can grow and expand and become the best I can be in every way. There’s not one thing I can tell you that “yes, this one thing I’m going to achieve!” I want to achieve it all. I want to be the best version of myself that I can be and I won’t stop pushing and growing.
