Asking for a friend? It’s tough out here. No face shots.
Selling yourself is not an easy job. If you can, then sure, go for it. But for each person making thousands there are thousands of people making pennies.
I have a bit of an exhibitionist kink. If I thought I could make more money then I currently do, I totally would.
People underestimate how much work is involved with anything involving selling online content. This isn’t just Only fans.
But if it’s an hour of work to make $100, why wouldn’t I?
There are people giving plasma for money.
There are people jacking off animals for money.
There are people who spend hours scamming old people for money.
Time is a investment though. Unfortunately $100 a hour is not the best use of my time. But maybe it is for you and your situation.
Curious what you do that 100/hr isn’t a good use of time, because that sounds like something I’d like to learn about.
As a cornfed brick-shithouse built Midwestern hairy dude in my late-30s, I’d do it right now if there were a market for chubby hairy dudes but I know better and I’d rather not embarrass myself.
The fact that it’s a niche interest means that people will pay more for it… And trust me… People LOVEE late 30s chubby hairy dudes
There’s a kink for everything. It may not be a large base, but I’ll bet it’s there.
If I knew I was going to make some money? Sure. But I hear it’s super difficult since so many people do the same. But if you think you have a gimmick, or are super attractive, you could make a but of change.
No. I’ll probably try to set up my own website.
I would do OnlyFans just for fun if i was female and or attractive
I don’t think I could make money on onlyfans.
If I was attractive, yes.
No and not for the reason you’d expect:
To open an account, OnlyFans requires you to do social media and prove that your social media accounts are yours, and of course they require you to hand over your real identity with your real ID card or passport and a selfie.
This is beyond dystopian. You have to be suicidal from a privacy standpoint to do OnlyFans.
I’d sell a lot more than that for riches.
That’s actually fucking ridiculous. But I guess if you’re willing to put your asshole and face together on the Internet, you’re probably not to concerned about these extra steps.
You miss the point.
What if you want to have a Facebook with the name “Joe Smith” and an OnlyFans with the name “Queen Georgina”? Even if your OnlyFans shows your face - which isn’t a requirement by the way - it’s not your real name. And you may not want to put your face or your real name on your Facebook at all, and keep the two completely separate.
OnlyFans basically destroy the separation between your accounts and links both with your real identity, your real government-issued ID number or SSN. And they collaborate very closely with Facebook in case you didn’t know. I know that because I asked them.
As for asshole pictures, as far as I know, asshole recognition technology isn’t as developed as facial recognition technology yet.
“As for asshole pictures, as far as I know, asshole recognition technology isn’t as developed as facial recognition technology yet.”
Fecal recognition technology.

It may save lives one day.
What point do you think that I am missing? I was making a half-joke saying that people on Onlyfans probably aren’t super into privacy measures.
Facebook doesn’t allow you to not show your face
Im going to assume OnlyFans doesn’t do that because they want to. They’d likely be harassed by government if they didn’t.
Pornhub had to remove all unverified videos (which was most of their videos) and now anyone who uploads must follow similar rules that OnlyFans has. Pornhub posted an announcement saying they reported 118 instances of child abuse materials while Facebook reported 84,000,000 but that somehow they’re the ones being threatened to be shutdown unless they implement more rules.
I think it has to do with women being trafficked into cam service.
If I remember correctly the pressure came from credit card companies and not any government.
Im going to assume OnlyFans doesn’t do that because they want to. They’d likely be harassed by government if they didn’t.
Only partially.
They don’t legally have to require you to do social media. All they’re legally required to do is to verify that you’re a consenting adult. In that respect, I get that they require a form of ID and a photo.
But the social media stuff is something they pretend to require to add an extra layer of legitimacy to your account, and make extra-sure you’re not a fraud. It’s of course complete bullshit. They only do this to collect data.
And don’t think for a second you can open an empty Facebook account and tell them “Here’s my social media account”: they want an old account with lots of real activity. And only certain types social media accounts are accepted. In fact, they’re very heavily biased towards you having a Facebook account, and it’s a lot more difficult to validate your OnlyFans account with anything other than a Facebook account.
They’re in cahoots with Facebook on the social media verification scam. I believe a good portion of their revenue stream is deanonymizing sex workers and selling their data.
What about Fansly?
You’re right!
It’s to keep kids off the website and even with all that, there’s already been cases. I think they dont do enough tbh.
Fortunately some places have zero knowledge proofs where you can prove you’re of age without giving your identity
Doesn’t that just hand the privacy issue over to another company?
If by company you mean the government, yes. But they already have your info by necessity
They need all that to be able to give you your money.
It’s how you get paid.They don’t need to know under which name I access Facebook to pay me.
It’s not like you’re using your personal social accounts for this stuff.
You’re not going to want your friends and family anywhere near it.Only Fans want to know your public social accounts. The ones that are part of your “Brand”, that would drive your “Business”. That’s what matters.
If you’re worried about privacy on those accounts, you’re doing it all wrong.You have to. Facebook doesn’t allow you to have multiple accounts. If they suspect otherwise (even if they’re wrong), they’ll just delete your account
I am doing it but not on OnlyFans and not for money. I’d be more than happy to monetize it if it was that simple but I’m a guy making quite niche content so I’ll stick with the crowd of few thousand Twitter users following me.
Yes, especially with no face shots. That being said, I think it’s brutally competitive these days. You are probably better off checking the beer money reddit sub if you are having trouble making ends meet and can’t find a proper job.
As a dude no, just because I don’t think that I would make enough to justify it.
Quick! Everybody pay this man for dick pics! He needs a self esteme boost!
Please don’t, I trust that there are people who would appreciate them but just not enough to pay bills.
I’ll gladly step in for you. Pls send moneys
It’s actually extremely hard to earn money with OnlyFans. You’re not the first one to get the idea. There’s massive competition and if you’re not seriously willing to do a lot of marketing (which basically means going on social media and messaging thirsty dudes/people and being flirty with them), you’re only going to earn peanuts if anything at all.
Unless you’re really top 0.01% beautiful, but yeah as you see that’s unlikely.
It’s basically as much work as any other job, so yeah, might as well do any other job.
I feel like the top 5 - 10% could probably make money, not just the top .01
I meant you wouldn’t have to work as hard as normal jobs if you are top 0.01% beautiful, not that you can’t make money unless you are. If you aren’t top 0.01%, you’ll have to do lots of work to make money.
Already have. If you want to limit the exposure to e.g. not damage any future career opportunities then just make it expensive. I did it for £12.99 a month, no free page, no PPV, no RP etc.
Converted from existing audience of older men I had on YT (3k subs back then), minimal marketing, mostly 1-2 GIFs a week spammed to various subs for it that didn’t have too much effect (ig i was being downvoted by bots/other women?) and had about 5-6 users total across a few months so I ended up having close to ~£100 total which was good groceries money (pre the mid-2022 price inflation) for the month or so I was out of a job, not enough to live on on its own but a good bonus, meant I could eat something other than bread and beans once in a while.
Fwiw it was fun and a great ego boost ngl, kinda almost makes me wanna do it again even though I def don’t have to.
That’s how my friend is about this. She wants feel attractive and make some extra change at the same time.
