OnlyFans has undoubtedly changed the industry as we know it, introducing a new form of model client interactions since its launch in 2016. Being the first of its kind made them extraordinarily popular, and despite the launch of competitors, later subscription sites couldn’t keep up.
In August 2021, the mega fansite announced that they will be banning pornographic posts, specifically “any content containing sexually-explicit conduct.” Without them being too transparent on what that meant, it was clear that they were giving adult workers the boot!
As you would expect, there was a considerable amount of backlash following this announcement, adult entertainers feeling as though they were used as if they had built the platform and been taken for granted. This statement was swiftly retracted, and OnlyFans said they would no longer be banned. However, the loss of trust and feeling of security had many adult workers looking for OnlyFans alternatives.
The reason why OnlyFans retracted their statement is unknown, whether it was a publicity stunt from the start or the fierceness of their creators. For sure, it’s questioning the security and stability for the content creators becoming income reliant on such subscription sites.
How To Add Stability To Your Income As An Adult Worker?
There are several ways to keep yourself and your income safe, should the most common and likely issues occur on a site that generates your primary source of income.
Have Multiple Sources Of Income (MSI)
Firstly, you must have MSI (multiple sources of income), especially in this industry; things can go pair-shaped at any time. I would say that most creators on OnlyFans are working on other platforms, such as webcam sites, amateur porn sites, etc. Don’t stop promoting these as subscription sites generate the smallest percentage of their income for many creators, so they shouldn’t be the end location.
Are You Working On Webcam Sites?
Although webcam sites have been around for much longer than subscriptions sites, they also face high-risk factors that businesses in other industries are unlikely to encounter. In 2016, a popular British site called Adultwork lost its payment processor, Pacnet. This led to the members on their platform going months without their money. However, we understand that webcam sites are exclusively built for adult entertainment purposes and have no means to divert to social media influences and celebrities, making them more stable than subscription sites. Signing up to multiple live sex sites, optimizing to find the best earners, and having verified accounts on standby will ensure that site “A” will still pay you if something happens to site “B”.
Sign Up For Multiple Payment Options
Payment methods changing or going down are among the most common problems in this industry. The only way to immediately be on top of that issue should it happen is by having multiple payment methods in place. Some of the most popular payment methods include Paxum, Crypto, WIRE, Check, etc.
Conclusion
With a growing industry becoming more and more popular each year, it has become the primary source of income for millions of individuals. Everyone has bills to pay, rent, mortgage, child care, food, etc. Having backups and replacements that can go into immediate effect should you need them prioritized. After all, you never know how much you need something until you need it.
Great article. I remember when I started camming on Chaturbate I was earning decent money for the hours I was putting in, but there were not as many other sites as we have today where you can have multiple streams of income. So I started some affiliate marketing and blogging on the side. When sites like OnlyFans and others like it came around, I diversified again and utilize all those sites too. You have to keep moving with the times and thinking like a business person to keep earning the max amount that you can, but while still enjoying the freedom that this industry brings. I hope your post helps many people.
