What I've Learned So Far

Transcribed from the episode recorded on August 3, 2023

Hi everyone! Welcome to the first episode where I'm just going to dive right in and tell you as much as I possibly can about OnlyFans, how it works, how to be safe, how to have fun, and how to avoid some sticky situations. I upload weekly talking about some stories that I had from the week content that I filmed and just stuff going on in general. So let's get into it.

I'm not even going to lie. It is not an easy job. You work 24/7 between making content, special requests, promoting on different social media and apps, answering messages, promoting other creators, scheduling posts and messages, and so much more. For some people, that may not seem like a lot of work, but for others like me, who have full-time jobs, or are full-time college students, and have families, pets, and houses to take care of, it can definitely be draining. When it comes to a situation like this, I LOVE to make schedules. I set my time to work, whether it's on OnlyFans, Instagram, Snapchat, friend-finding apps, wherever, from 12:00 to 5:00 in the evening. As soon as the clock hits 5:00, I log out of all my content-based apps and social media, I relax and unwind, eat dinner, do school work, and spend time with my loving boyfriend and content partner. Then from 9:00 at night to 5:00 in the morning, I log back on and keep working. Then I go to sleep and repeat. To break that down, I sleep anywhere between 3 to 6 hours a day, work for 13, and get 4 hours to do the rest of my stuff for the day. When work is slow, I take the time to work on my personal stuff so that I don't fall behind in anything.

When it comes to promoting, there's definitely a LOT to know. Personally, I have a love-hate relationship with it, whether it's self-promoting or promoting others. It takes a lot of time to do, but again, there's always an easy way. When promoting with others, I do something called share for share, where creators share other creators' socials or content pages on their own. I do this via OnlyFans, Instagram, and Snapchat. To find other creators to do this, I join a bunch of groups on Facebook and ask who wants to share each other's profiles, follow each other on social media, and promote each other on there. I also just recently made a subreddit for creators to join to promote their content pages, without the hassle while waiting for people to answer messages about promoting each other. When it comes to promoting myself, I do it in a multitude of ways. I have social media accounts specifically for my content pages, including Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and TikTok. I then also use friend-finding apps to promote my social media accounts. In order to do that and keep from getting banned, you have to go about this safely. I've definitely gotten my fair share of bans from these apps, so I'm going to tell you a way to do it safely. For starters, don't upload any pictures that would be considered NSFW. A lot of the apps will only allow pictures of your face, and some will take down pictures that even show slight nudity. Show pictures of your face, and to show your body, make sure you're fully clothed to avoid pictures being taken down and getting banned. Another tip is to not add in your bio that you are a content creator. Put that you're looking for social media followers and friends, and if able to, include your content social media accounts in either the bio or in the area where they allow them. If they don't allow that, then there's an easy fix for that. A lot of guys will add you, and will right off the bat ask for them. Only give them content-based social media - remember, you're really looking for content followers, not followers for your regular social media. A good amount of these apps will also allow real-person verification. You DEFINITELY want to do this to show that you aren't a scammer, which we will get into in a little bit. The apps that I currently use, and have used in the past are definitely a lot when it comes to messages, but definitely work to promote. I've used YUBO, Wizz, Addchat, Wave, Swiping, Hoop, and Wink.

Now another way I promote, but also make a little money on the side, is using Zeetok, Hobiton, and Meete. Promoting on these apps is super difficult. So, these apps are essentially like dating apps with a twist. I do not promote on dating apps, since I don't want people in my area knowing about my content. The twist about these apps is that they PAY you to text the guys. You don't get a whole lot of money, but it does bring in a small amount. You pretty much set up a "dating" profile, swipe on and message guys, complete daily tasks, and receive points, which add up to money. The guys have NO idea that you get paid, but they do know that you have to pay to message people. A lot of these guys want to text elsewhere, but the goal is to keep them on the apps. You have to be discreet when giving out your socials, so try to censor them, like using the ghost emoji (👻) for snap, and abbreviating Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, as well as your OnlyFans. You can also do video calls for a price, and send intimate images that they have to pay for. The only catch is that you have to message back within a certain amount of time to receive the money. So definitely stay active on them.

When it comes to promoting on social media, I tend to keep it a little more Safe For Work. I also advise using a different phone for all your content-based social media and the apps for finding followers, just in case you get banned or the device banned, because let's be honest, we've all probably been banned or almost banned. I also suggest creating an email specifically for content and using Google Voice to have a burner number for those accounts. When I promote on Instagram, I post little previews and teasers, little stories about my content, and let followers ask questions, as well as selling content in messages. I also post my Linktree link in my bio, as well as posting it on my Twitter and OnlyFans, which will be talked about later. Promoting on Twitter I don't do very often. When I do, however, I will post my links to my OnlyFans with some type of little message that entices people to go to my OnlyFans. On TikTok, which I just started being active on, I post videos with trending audios that seem slightly sexual, just lip-synching to them. I'm getting ready to post Get Ready With Me videos or a little more NSFW content. Snapchat is where I promote the most. I made a private story called "Buyers Club", where anyone interested in buying content can join, and to stay in the story, they have to purchase either an item from my content menu or the uncensored teaser. I post send-its and censored teasers on my snap, as well as snapping everyone, and having conversations with everyone, even if they aren't buyers. I also set up a little contest on my private story for my buyers, where I post weekly who the top three buyers are, and at the end of the month, the top buyer gets a special surprise. Promoting on social media means lots of messages. Those messages include buyers and scammers. Sometimes you can tell the difference, other times you can't. There are a few ways to tell the difference and how to avoid scammers.

One of the best ways to avoid scammers commenting on your posts, or sending you messages, is to not use hashtags on your social media. Although it seems like a GREAT way for your account to reach a targeted audience, all it really does - in my experience - is bring spam accounts commenting, or messaging you, to message another account for a promotion. When you message those other accounts, they want you to pay a fee for a promotion. I've fallen for this trap, and it isn't fun. They tell you that you'll get hundreds of paying subscribers, which is a lie. I only promote with people that offer it for free, since that way, I'm not losing out on anything. I also like to play games with scammers. Occasionally you'll receive a message, saying someone wants to be your "Sugar Daddy", or if you complete something or answer a question, they'll send you money. What I always do is instantly tell them I want them to verify themselves in a specific way, and send my Cashapp to them, telling them to send me money. Most of the time they either double-check the account before "sending" the money, and say you have to pay a fee, or they instantly get defensive when asked to verify themselves. A real person wouldn't hesitate to verify. And, you do NOT have to pay ANY type of fee to receive money from anyone, or any third-party bank app, such as Cashapp. I exclusively use Cashapp, since the money goes straight to my bank account, and they can't request the money back. When it comes to verifying, I do it in many ways. If it's someone I feel is a scammer, I tell them to send a live video writing down the date, time, and my username, and showing it to the camera. Since social media does NOT age verify, unlike some of the friend apps, it is tricky to see how old someone is. As soon as someone messages me on social media, wanting to buy content, since I post Safe For Work stuff, I always ask the person to verify their age with their ID and explain to them why I need to do so. If they refuse, don't answer, after looking at the message, or are underage, I simply remove them. I have a few stories about scammers, and underage people lying about their age, that I will get to in a few minutes.

Another way to either avoid scammers, or not get their messages, is adding filters on your comments, blocking words like promotion, or anything associated that way, and having message requests and hidden messages turned on. A key way that scammers will try to interact with you is by asking for your price in a weird way, with them responding, saying they just started, and use THIS account to boost their account. Or someone simply messaging you saying they work for "so-and-so", "this-or-that" company, and wants to be a manager or something in some way. A majority of the time they're just scammers trying to get your money. Another thing I like to do on Instagram is turning off video calls and audio calls, aside from the times that I receive a request for one. That way you don't have a bunch of notifications of people calling you, whether it's someone who wants to play around a little or a scammer who's upset that you won't do as they ask.

When it comes to OnlyFans, my best advice is to just have fun, and post whatever you feel comfortable with. I post polls, quizzes, Pay-Per-View content, and free teasers on my account, as well as other creators' pages. On my paid account, I post the same as my free account, minus the Pay-Per-View. I also post fully nude pictures, as well as Boy/Girl content, with my Linktree and Amazon wishlist links in both bios. I send mass messages to my subscribers and have a welcome message that includes my content menus, and interact with other creators and fans as often as possible. I will go more in-depth about what I post on OnlyFans in the upcoming weeks.

Now, I've mentioned Linktree quite a few times. For those of you who do not know what that is, Linktree is a website where you create a link essentially, and add your social media, content, Amazon Wishlist, any type of your links that you want to add, and then copy and add that link to your OnlyFans and social media apps. That way, you can tell followers to go to the link to get to your content pages, and other social media pages all in one, instead of sending multiple links. The cool thing is, you can also make a link for free, and you don't even need to use the premium version.

Now that I covered pretty much everything I know about content creating, it's onto my stories that have happened as being a creator. Starting off with the one about underage people pretending to be the legal age.

While I was using Wizz, someone added me claiming to be 18, which was listed on their profile. Their picture was a group of three guys who looked kind of young but also looked the legal age at the same time. They messaged me asking which one of them I thought was attractive and wanted to "take", to which I jokingly responded by saying, "Whichever one of you wants to buy my content". Then they started throwing insults at me, saying stuff like I smelled like ramen noodles, or something similar, to where I said that I just had them for lunch, and that's probably why. I was trying to joke around with them, and not let their insults bother me. So at this point, they're sending voice messages saying this stuff, and I could hear the UK accent that they had. They were making noises like a pig, calling me mean names and whatnot. I told them that they had no right to do that, and then they dropped a BOMB on me. They sent a recording back, saying that I shouldn't ask 14-YEAR-OLDS to subscribe to my OnlyFans and that they were going to report me for trying to get minors to buy adult content. The last thing I said to them before blocking them, was that they shouldn't lie about their age and it wouldn't have happened. I ended up making an all-new Wizz account recently since I got restricted on the other one, and this time I'm keeping it as PG as possible while still promoting my socials.

Another situation that happened on Wizz that was entirely my fault also happened. When someone messages you, it didn't say their age unless you click on their profile, which I didn't know at the time. This guy wanted the link to my OnlyFans, which I gave to him. Not long after, I went back on the app and noticed that he was 17. I thought, "HOLY SHIT, this is NOT happening". I messaged him instantly and explained to him that I didn't check his age, which was my fault, and told him that I did have to remove him from my fan list, as well as my chats on Wizz. He completely understood, and even admitted that he just wanted to see what was posted on my OnlyFans account.

When it comes to scammers, like I said, I'm normally pretty good at noticing them. These two stories are completely different. One where I knew they were a scammer, and the other one where I fell for one.

For this first one, I knew a little bit into the conversation that they were scammer. They had messaged me on Instagram wanting to buy some content. I looked at their account super quick, just to see if they had any pictures to verify that they were over 18. And they did have quite a few pictures, including pictures in the military. I didn't think that was out of the ordinary, since a lot of people do post pictures in their uniforms. Now, he also didn't have a lot of followers, but some people still post a whole lot even if they don't have any. So, I sent to my menu and asked what he was interested in purchasing, and he said he would pay me an INSANE amount of money, just for three pictures and two short videos daily for a month. He said he wanted the videos to be masturbation, and said that he had no preference on the videos or photos. Just to make sure they were sexy, and that the videos could be as long as I wanted. So, I let him know that obviously, he does have to pay upfront, and he said that he would prefer if I surprised him with the pictures and videos that night, after he made the payment, and I just had to do my best with the pictures and videos, and that as long as I was in them, he was sure to love them. Now, I didn't think that was too scammy, I thought that was a reasonable request. I told him that I can do it in a few hours if he had sent me the money now, and gave him my Cashapp so that I could also do it throughout the day, instead of him getting them all at once or all at night. I would send maybe a picture and video at one time, another video at another time, and then a picture and video at night, if that was his preference. If he was willing to pay the amount that he was willing to pay, I wanted to make sure that he had boundaries put in place, along with any type of preferences that he would have. Now, this is where I started to notice that it was getting a little bit scammy. Once I had mentioned the money, about him paying me and I can work on it right away, he said that he would have to text his account manager, so I asked him what he meant by that. Most people do not have an account manager for their bank accounts. Everyone that I know runs their own bank account, unless they have someone to help them with their financials. This is when he started going in and lying about a whole bunch of stuff and scamming me, which I had caught onto. He said that he had worked with the US Army and that he was in Afghanistan for over eight months. He was a member of the Military Intelligence Corps, and that it was a really different ballgame working in the office and not on the field, and that he can't access his financial institutions, and that all his transactions were done by his account manager since he wasn't in the States. After he said that, he goes, "I guess you must not have heard about it," referencing him being in Afghanistan. So, a little backstory about me real quick is that my content partner was in the military, and my family has a WHOLE lot of military background. So I know when someone is lying about being in the military, no matter how hard they try to make it seem like they are telling the truth. So, with that knowledge that I know about the military, I said something along the lines of, o\

"Oh, over eight months? I thought that the US pulled the Army out of Afghanistan completely in 2021 unless they're back in and there's no news coverage on it?" His answers started getting shorter and shorter, and he responded to that as, "Oh, maybe". So then I said, "I mean, you would think they notify us about that, right?" And he said, "I guess so". Now, I did not at this time let anyone know that I had a content partner, because we were still in the works of doing stuff. But in some of the pictures that I had on my Instagram, I was wearing his dog tag from when he was in the military. I even woke him up and asked him to verify that I was telling the truth, and the guy was a scammer, and he said yes. So I told the guy to take a quick look at my Instagram pictures and tell me what he noticed about them, and why they wouldn't notify us if they sent military personnel back after we were pulled in 2021. And then I asked him what his rank was. That's the part that gets these scammers the MOST because they don't do a whole lot of research when it comes to the military. You can tell he didn't do a lot because he said he was in Afghanistan, which hasn't been true for the past two years. Now, I did look up the area where he had said he was in Afghanistan, and there is a military base there. But I just needed verification that that was not true. So after I had asked what his rank was, he had read all the messages that I sent to him, where I pretty much called him out. He left me on open. And then a few hours later, he deleted his entire account. So if someone does happen to message you saying they're in the military, try and look at their pictures and see if they really are, or if they're just committing stolen valor. A great way to even ask in the conversation as soon as they mention military, is ask where they're stationed and what rank, because a lot of the time they will mess up somewhere and mix up two different military branches, or say a place that we are no longer stationed in.

So now this other story was about a time where I thought that this was legit, and I ended up getting scammed, but it was only $25, so at the time I really didn't care. So, at the beginning of me making my OnlyFans account, someone had messaged me on Twitter claiming that they were a big promoting page and that I would get mass amounts of followers in 24 hours, and a lot of them would be buyers, or that they would just send big tips. So the first thing I should have done was go and look at how many followers they have, how many people they follow, and what they post. I did not do that. Instead, I just kept talking with them about how it works, and what they do. All I had to do was send them a few pictures and my OnlyFans link, or my OnlyFans tag, and they would post it, and the only thing I had to do in able for them to post it, was to send them $25. They sent me their Cashapp tag, which I looked up and it was legitimate. So I decided, “Let me try and see if this will work”. When I tried to send the money, Cashapp said that they weren't accepting payments or something along that line, so I notified them and let them know. And then they sent I believe their PayPal or their Venmo, which I had sent the money to, and it went through, and then I screenshotted it to verify it, and sent it to them. They posted me as soon as they got everything, and I was hoping that I was going to wake up in the morning with a whole bunch of message requests on OnlyFans, a whole bunch of followers, and a bunch of money. I did not get one single follower, aside from some people that I had told about my account on social media. It wasn't that big of a deal to me since it was only $25. But there are some that do packages that go up to $100, which I don't think is fair. I feel like if you're going to promote something or someone, you do it for them for free, because a lot of people, including me, don't always have the money to pay for the promotions. Plus, if you offer free promotions, people are going to go to you more than if you offer paid promotions, because it shows you really care about what the person is doing.

Now of course one of the first things I do after I verify someone's age, is ask if they would like to see my content menus, which I have quite a few of, with content ranging from $3 at the cheapest to over $100. When someone wants to see your menu, always send your Cashapp to them with the menu, so that they don't need to ask you what they should pay you on, and they can buy stuff as soon as they finish looking. You ALWAYS want to get the money first before you make the content or send the content, just so that you don't lose out on money, and these stories are about people not wanting to pay, or just wanting an INSANE request.

So these first two that I'm going to talk about, I'm going to just merge into one, since they were the same situation, which was someone wanting the content before paying for it. So, these guys messaged me on Instagram asking to see my menu, and of course, I sent it to them right away, along with my Cashapp like I always do. They looked it over and they said, "Well, what can I see right now?" and I told them, "Any one of these items you can get within the next ten minutes to an hour, as soon as you send the money". They did not want that. Then they said, "No, I want to see what you have to offer before paying for your content", to which I told them, "Unfortunately, it is my job and I cannot just give out free content" so that they can see what I look like. Now, for this first one, I just made my account, so the only pictures that were on there were just pictures of my face. I did not have any pictures of my body on there because I was still getting used to having an Instagram for content, trying to see what was allowed to be posted, and I believe I was also sick at the same time, so I did not want to go and take any pictures and promote myself. I told him that if he did want to see pictures of what my body looked like, that he had to purchase them for $5 and he gets to choose whatever body part he wants. He told me that it doesn't work that way, and most places you always get the service before you pay. He used examples like you go to a restaurant, you order, you eat, and then you pay. You go to a hair salon, get your hair done, and then you pay. You go and get items that you want to buy, and then you pay, and a whole bunch of insanely ridiculous examples. I explained to him that when you're trying to buy pictures of someone, you do not get the pictures and then pay. The reason for this is because I can spend a whole bunch of time taking these pictures for this guy, send them to him, and then him saying, "I don't like them, but thank you for the pictures. You're not getting the money". I also feel more inclined to make my content look good if someone is paying for it. I do offer free content off of one of my menus, if someone does something like goes and votes for me in a contest, follows a specific social media, buys a specific post, and a lot more. He then went on to tell me that every single person that is an OnlyFans creator and has an OnlyFans Instagram account has pictures of their body posted, and I don't, and I only have pictures of my face, to where I even told him that I just made the account, I have not taken or done those pictures yet. I told him that unfortunately, he will not be able to purchase anything from me because he does not understand how it works. I blocked him, and then as soon as I blocked him, I went to the bathroom put on my swimsuits, took a whole bunch of pictures, edited them, and posted them. Now, I don't remember the exact interaction with this other guy, but again, it was on Instagram and he was trying to get some free pictures, very similar to the first guy, saying that he wanted me to send some, just to double check if he likes it. Now, I told him that if he looks at my page, he will see the previews that I posted, which were the pictures of my face, pictures of me in a swimsuit, and then some other pictures that I had posted a few days to a week later. He went and looked at them, and then responded something along the lines of, "No thanks, I'm good. You don't have a good body". To which I then said, "That's completely fine, but you're not getting any other type of pictures for me unless you paid for them". That interaction a little more smoothly because I had pictures posted on Instagram. The only thing he didn't like was that my body didn't look like the other girls' bodies, and I even told him, "Nobody looks the same, and you are not obligated to buy my content".

Now, this other story that I have is also about this person. Again, it's on Instagram, someone wanting to buy content, just for an INSANE price and INSANE requests. So this actually happened just the other day, so it's still fresh in my memory. This guy ended up messaging me and asking if I sell content, I verified his age, I told him I do, I asked what he was interested in, what he wanted, and if he wanted to see the menus. So he told me that he wanted this INSANE content, where I wear a party dress that he chooses, and my face is showing with my makeup on, but it has to be red lipstick, and that I slowly take off the dress, and then spit on my armpits and lick them. And then I need to finger myself with two fingers, while moaning really loudly, and then right as I'm about to cum, I have to moan his name and announce that I'm cumming. And then afterwards I have to, again, spit on my armpits, and then lick them five times. And he wanted this to be 20 minutes long. So I was super confused with this, just because of the way that he worded it. So, I let him know that because this content was so customized from the original, that it would be a more expensive price. So the original that I do offer is $99, and it is me fingering myself while moaning the buyer's name until I cum. Because he wanted me to do such a specific way, and he wanted a whole bunch of add-ons, including how my makeup is, wanting to choose my outfit, wanting me to do insane stuff, I told him that it would probably be around $250. Then, I also let him know that I currently don't have any party dresses with me and that I'm not even sure I have red lipstick, which he said that I can wear a bikini or something else nice and that if I don't have red lipstick, we will work with it. So now, after I confirmed what he wanted me to do, as soon as he sent me the money like I can start working on it in the morning, since it was around 3:00 at night, I was not going to get up and film this. So he then said, "Oh, if you want to go outside and do it outside, I'll pay you $500", which I told him, "Unfortunately, I cannot do that. I live around children, I do not want to get arrested and put on a sex offenders list". S,o I was already a little bit uncomfortable with this, and each message just kept making it worse. He said, "Okay, that's fine, but hey, you can also squirt 4 or 5 times", to which I told him, "I am not capable of that, I cannot do that". And he said, "Okay, well you can just pee then like just pee. That's fine". So I told him, "I am not comfortable with peeing all over the place like an animal, I am also injured, and I do not want to have to strip my brand new sheets off my bed and go and wash them, and come back up three flights of stairs injuring myself just because you want me to piss all over my sheets". So, he apologized, and before that, he was like, "Oh, well, I'll pay you like $300", which again, I told him, "No way in Hell, I am not pissing everywhere". So he apologized and said it was okay, that I didn't have to, but that I still had to do the other stuff. And I said again, I wasn't even sure if I could even do anything like with my armpits, or if I was even comfortable with it, and if I didn't feel comfortable with it or I knew I couldn't do it, that it would only be $200, since he wanted my outfit a certain way, and make up a certain way, how I do the fingering, he wanted my face in the view, the length of the video, and then he said, "Oh well, armpits are a MUST. It's my favorite". So the last message I said to him was, "I don't know if I'm capable of that, or comfortable with doing that". So now after this interaction happened, I went on to Reddit and posted the screenshots, asking for people's opinions on if I should just offer him the $99 option, or if I should just not interact at all, to which someone told me to just send him the link to my OnlyFans page, and mute his messages. So I did just that. I sent him the link to my paid page, since he's offering to pay me $500 for something, he must have the money to pay for a $5 subscription. So he ended up messaging back and letting me know that OnlyFans is not legal in his country, but he did not get any type of response out of me and his messages are still just sitting in my inbox, and he is still begging me to send him content.

So, I just want to let you know, that if someone wants content that is insanely, INSANELY ridiculous, you do not feel comfortable with any of it, or you don't want to do part of it, you can either let them know that you are not comfortable with a certain part and ask if you can do everything else, or just let them know that you are not comfortable, and you can offer them something else instead. You are still a human. You do still have emotions and you 100% have the right to say "No, I don't want to do that". And if you miss out on a certain amount of money, that's okay, because someone else will be willing to pay for other content instead, and you can always get that money, another way. Once again, thank you for coming to the first episode where we dive right into everything that I can tell you from what I've learned so far, and I hope to see you back for the next episode!
