This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

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.

Look, just cause I've cooked my brain with ketamine, use children as human shields, and an incompetent asshole.....does mean I'm Elon.

Fuck. My life sucks.

I imagine it’s as easy to make money off of as YouTube or Twtich, almost impossible.

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.

The only people who think sex work isn't work are terrible at sex.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

And probably terrible at work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yes, but most of sex work is a sales job

I know so many people trying to make it as streamers who cannot seem to understand that you have to do a lot of work to make anything catch on unless you are crazy lucky/extremely attractive. A regular person playing a game isn't interesting for others and it takes energy for most to cultivate a following.
