I think it's sad seeing this considering all the women I know who have been suckered into making OFs only to make a few bucks from weirdos saving their nudes.

Porn is the same, really. Most people who do porn make very little money from it, but still have to deal with their naked bodies on the internet.

Seems like you should only do fans (and similar pages) if you already have a fan base in some other area. Otherwise it will end like you said.

Or if you just actually want to do sex work. It’s like camming. It can be a hobby where you pick up a couple bucks here and there. If you want it to be a job it’s going to be more like trying to make it as a musician or actor.

In general if you’re more or less normal you aren’t going to make any real money as a sex worker. Either you aren’t famous or attractive enough or you aren’t willing to do what it’ll take to make better money or you won’t settle for the little you’ll get or be willing to deal with people who have odd fetishes, possibly of your body type.

All internet media is basically the same on pay. Most people on you tube or twitch don't make much either.

Yeah, but they don't put their naked bodies out there.

Yep, even more so if they had to due to unfortunate reasons. Though not entirely, it works the same way as any average person starting something likestreaming and thinking of making it big quick.

I reckon she only had this much success due to having some level of popularity to begin with.
