If You Think You’re Going to Make a Ton of Money on OnlyFans, You’re Probably Wrong
Sure, a fraction of creators make a killing but most upload images for pennies.
A lot of folks these days are under the impression that you can earn a fortune by posting racy photos to OnlyFans, a platform where creators earn money from subscribers to their content — e.g., their “fans.” The news has been full of articles, touching on just how much cash people — mostly women — are making on the platform.
Take Business Insider, who spoke to Monica Huldt, who says she’s earning $100,000 a year posting explicit content on the platform. ABC News also ran a story about women (and men) who earn thousands a month on OnlyFans. Lad Bible stoked the hype by telling the story of OnlyFans creator Andrea Vasile Stage, who allegedly earns a million dollars a year on the subscription site.
However, the truth is a different story. The reality is the market is saturated and there are only so many “fans” to go around. Creators who do find success on OnlyFans speak of grueling eighty-hour workweeks. Many women bust their figurative butts to create content that shows off their literal butts, only to earn pennies for their work.
