OnlyFans, the subscription-based social media platform, might seem like a quick way to make some cash - but the reality is it's much harder than it looks.
This isn't the typical narrative you hear around OnlyFans. If you Google it, what you're more likely to see are the success stories of those whose lives have been changed by it - like the ex-waitress whose videos netted her £20k a month and enabled her to buy her first home at 19, or Kerry Katona, who reportedly makes hundreds of thousands of pounds a month on the subscription site.
There are dozens of headlines like this among the latest gossip about the platform's most famous or top earners like gem101, who reportedly makes $21.3m a year. But while the high-earners and their fortunes are the ones that make great news stories, they are the minority: gem101 is just one of 100 people who’ve earned more than $1 million using a platform that has 1.5 million content creators on its books.
