This happened to a girl I knew that tried to make some money on onlyfans during Covid lockdown. Only lasted 4 months, even though she was pretty attractive. I think guys just assume that as a girl, you can simply post nudes online and make money, while it actually does require consistent effort, marketing skills, and a bit of luck.

    on onlyfans, like most platforms, the vast majority of people make little to nothing

    Managed my friends only fans for a bit, we got her account to top 4.5%. She brought in ~$1.5K on a good month. One time we got up to $2K. This is with her having done porn with a few big studios and having a decent amount of followers on Twitter. There is no Discovery feature or feed on OF, you have to direct them there through a direct link. Had to keep a consistent production schedule, deal with inquires from patrons. Successfully running and only fans is like running a business, people don't simply give you money.

    Making money requires work

    That comes as a surprise for many people

    Yeah, people think it’s easy to defraud Social Security. It’s hard pretending that I was born over 150 years ago.

    Shit, all the work I had to maintain that fraud. Fuck me, it was tough.

    There's a bit on the Netflix Pornhub documentary from a camgirl. She notes that she does her own marketing, lighting, camera work, etc., and every once in a while, she masturbates on camera. It's a real job with real effort.

    It's like sex work is work.

    Yeah, you can see this for yourself if you have a VR headset and a couple of sites have VR cams set up.

    Mostly they forget they exist (although I'm grateful for the ones that don't), so you get a kind of behind the scenes look at it all.

    The one thing that strikes me is their demeanour the instant they're off the main cam. These girls are so fucking done with everything and everyone, and it's not surprising most of them quit after a month or two. Most of them are probably getting a fraction of the money tipped, with a good chunk going to the handlers (a lot of pretend typing going on, and they get directed by the person at the keyboard) and room rent (much of it seems to be in the same handful of buildings somewhere in St Petersburg). Many of them are on multiple sites at once, with phone apps on the go as well.

    It's a real business.
