There has been something on the back of my mind and that is OnlyFans. I have no idea how many accounts there are but I hear time to time people have enough members that it became their primary source of income.

So I was thinking of giving it a try. My fiancé would not be down with this so it would be solo. Probably won’t be able to start till she goes back to working bedside at the hospital.

But if I were to do it I would need:
A camera that I can position properly for whatever.
I would need to learn how to edit. I am in IT so this shouldn’t be too hard.
I would have to blur my face.
But most importantly as a guy what can I do that would entice people to sign up?
How would I advertise?

I am average size. 6 inches normally 7 on a good day. I don’t shoot out cum most of the time. I like anal prostate play. And I am NOT into guys.

Thoughts? Is this a waste of time and money?
 
Not sure if it would be a waste of time or money but since you're a guy, I imagine you'll be at a disadvantage. You can get around blurring your face by getting a cheap mask at Michael's and painting it up (which could add some uniqueness to your profile).
 
I have only heard of women making money on Onlyfans. Some do quite well. Some are making over a million a month. The singer Lily Allen said in a recent interview that she makes more off her Onlyfans account showing pics of her feet than she does from Spotify music streams.

Rooting for you and following in your "foot"steps if we can "pull it off"
 
The problem with OnlyFans might be there's just too many people on it for enough to make money. Some of the accounts I've been watching are very inexpensive, Hard to see they're making much money. And you need an angle. Solo male is going to need something special to stand out from the crowd. What are you thinking? Cum shots? Dildo insertion? One guy I keep up with did a lot of cum shooting and vibrator work, but then used an invisible person who only shows their hands, for BDSM and restraint and applying the vibrator or stroking him off. This has progressed to full fucking with this guy and others. It seemed to me that progressing from solo to couple was how this guy kept customers interested.

Another guy I follow, who just happens to be the invisible guy in the para above, has a line in videos about fitness and personal training so you can watch him instruct you in exercise and workouts, then switch to his OF channel and watch him showering or jerking off, and now fucking his friend. Having two channels like this might capture two markets.
 
Realistically it's much like crypto, if you weren't in it early on or if you're not already famous in some other regard it's going to be HARD to get anything out of it.

I've had it requested of me in the past, and gave it some serious thought - but I'm afraid the odds are so far stacked against it's really not worth the investment if you're only in it for the money.

If you get the kick out of the exhibitionism then that's it's own reward of course!

If I was with someone that would get hardcore or role play on camera I think I would have a chance.

All of that sounds like you can watch for free in porn sites and YouTube.

I'm not saying it's not possible, but be aware we have natural male overconfidence 😅. People aren't waiting to see what we can do, they will be coming across your work and seeing if it's for them.

It has to essentially be not just worth the money, but MORE worth the money than all other similar content AND be advertised to them accessibly.

If you're going for it, I'd recommend digging out a real niche and investing in some proper advertisement. Just having an extra partner or role-playing are things that already exist in droves and whether you believe your content would be better or not, potential viewers will only be seeing you as a channel unless you tease otherwise.

If only this was around when I was a man whore getting pussy and ass and mouths daily from different woman.

A lot of OnlyFans is free on Pornhub, etc. It's often teasers and excerpts used to attract people to the paying site. But it's also older material. The problem with porn is it's got to be fresh for people to pay. Porn gets stale very quickly and I think to make money you've got to be working hard every day and either do stuff which stands out from the crowd or get a very loyal following.

Truth. There is a certain porn company that makes some of the best videos currently. They are very well produced and the acting is okay. But the sex. Well yum!

Are you serious?
 
I saw an analysis done by a very successful female participant about the money. She showed that a VERY small percentage of the accounts make almost all of the money. I don’t remember the numbers, but it was something like 0.1% of the accounts make 95% of the money. The vast majority of the performers make less than $300 per month. I don’t remember the actual numbers, but they were were shocking.

I seem to recall her saying that one of the keys to being successful was interaction of the fans and making them feel connected for repeat visits and extra donations. I suppose that she had really good communication skills in that area. I would think that it would be harder for a guy to be monetarily successful at this.

It may be worth investigating this if you are serious.
 
My wife not okay with OF yet but we have Deviantart account for her and she makes $2000 per month average both from subscriptions and from custom photos. Even she doesn't show face...
