To understand why people do Only fans etc

This. Start out doing a few sexy poses and before you know it you're doing 'how many men can I fit in my back door' Lily Philips style

Hardly anyone makes big money from only fans, most will make a a few hundred a month at most and then will see that money drop off as people lose interest in them. They might then make some more money if they made more and more extreme or fetish content but eventually the punters will want something different. They also need to be doing constant engagement with "fans" which is a fulltime job in and of itself.

There are literally 1000's of women who have tired only fans to make money, posted very graphic and degrading images and videos of themselves which will circulate online essentially forever and then had to leave because they aren't making real money at it.

Its not just a case of posting a few fruity snaps online its a lot of work for a crowd that is always hungry for the next best thing and will quickly move on and forget you, share your images for free on sites like reddit etc. Its also a slippery slope as I already said you start making more extreme content to hold their interest, agreeing to collaborate with other women and men and worse to have meets with fans.

It's not worth it.

I don't think that admin jobs care about people doing onlyfans.

While I don't think it's up to me to tell other women how to live their lives, and agree that times are tough for many, I honestly feel that OF is just another way of oppressing women. I appreciate that others may not share this view, and that's ok, we're all different.

In order to make significant money off such sites, your content has to be 'exceptional' which means you either need the face and body of an angel, or be prepared to do something extreme.

Some people will be willing and happy to do that.

Personally I prefer to work hard at my ordinary job, enjoy my self respect and my privacy, pay my mortgage on my slightly tatty house, and know that my children will never be embarrassed by the actions or behaviour of their mum.

Each to their own.

Have you seen the stats on this? 98% of women make less than £150 a month on OnlyFans. You have to be in the top 0.02% to make any serious money. Normally you have to have a big social media following or be a semi-celebrity first to get those numbers. OF is full of women who look like models, doing the most extreme sex acts possible and can’t even break minimum wage. All these news stories talking about girls that make millions a month aren’t reflective of the average OF girl.

I understand why people do it, although it comes with all sorts of dangers, of course, and making a financial success of it is the exception and not the rule. I watched quite a good drama series on iplayer called Mood, about young women getting sucked into that world. Although it’s a drama it was quite a good and addictive watch, and it explored some of the complications that come with that kind of work (mostly online stuff).

Actually, Google 'The dark side of Onlyfans documentaries'.

Amongst lots of other information there's a Youtube docu series.

I guess they won’t but the big majority won’t do only their feet.

Olivia Attwood, the font of all knowledge?

You've watched one documentary and even if you're going to come back and say you've watched more, you're clearly only watching one side of a story.

Perhaps broaden your research a bit?

I don’t know how dumb mince is, but this is an appalling way to speak about women and it’s driven by pure misogyny.

OP I think if it were an easy enjoyable safe job that paid thousands for a few hours and required zero training, education or investment……..I mean you can see where this is going, jobs like this don’t exist. There is always a downside and for jobs like this it can be significant.

I agree. It’s not worth it.

It's unfair to say that anyone who does this is thick as mince. Also daft to suggest that they are all selling their souls and will psychologically damaged later on in life. Yes for some the benefits of a quick buck won't be worth it. Their families or employers may find out and they will regret that they did it.

Others won't care. It won't affect them. It won't traumatise them or have any negative effects. They will do it for as long as they like then move on and probably rarely think of it again.

Everyone is different. It wouldn't be for me but fair play to those who can make money from it if that's what they want to do.

It's a bit of a nonsense thread then to be fair.

Maybe go have a look and then form an opinion?

I used to work in a call centre and one of my staff was a cam girl, I'm talking 15 maybe 20 years ago. She did it whilst on maternity leave (breast feeding fetishes) and she made so much she didn't need to come back to the day job. Mostly squaddies she said. There is so much choice these days. Another girl did foot fetish videos squishing jelly and beans etc and made a few hundred a month in top,

The average woman on OF makes $180 a month, so they're not all raking it in by any means.

The women who show off how many millions they're earning are trying to sell you some sort of course on 'how to succeed' ~ which is absolutely rubbish but makes them money.

We're just in a world where we're being conditioned to think well-paid side hustles are the norm. The reality is most lose you money, or take so many hours it works out well below minimum wage - the saying 'if it sounds too good to be true it probably is' applies here. There are decent side hustles, but very few that take minimal effort.

Well that has surprised me I'm not going to lie. I'd have thought dainty feet would be the get off ones, just shows you...
I joke about selling feet pics but mine are apparently too average then, need a new plan for early retirement.
OP, I get what you're saying though these people that brag about how much they make on OF must be posting quite a lot of content and most likely of a niche nature.

It’s 100% similar to an MLM or Ponzi scheme.

Most women make barely anything and have to do more extreme, more degrading things to make anything at all. Those stories of successful only fans stars are propaganda to get more women signed up - it’s nothing close to the norm.

As I said - in the US Only Fans shows up on background checks. It’s not that anonymized. Employers aren’t going to discern between “oh just feet pics” and hardcore pornography.

Once you start this path, it is incredibly hard to get out of it.

What @Disturbia81 said.
Its just not worth it. Yes it might lead to a bit of extra money but at what price? Selling yourself for a bit of cash. True it doesnt involve actual skin to skin contact with others but it does mean photos etc of you online forever (and not just in the locations you put them either). Its still prostitution.

Also - what about what your children will think? Your mum/grandma? or when your kids friends/their parents find out and your kids get bullied because of what their mum is doing? And of course the obvious........... future employers.
