So I’ve been going back and forth on addressing this, but I think it may be time to do so. I want to preface all of this with a reminder that I am very lucky to be able to do work that I love and profit off of it. I appreciate all of my fans and followers more than I can say, and I don’t want anybody to think I’m taking you for granted or that I think I’m entitled to something. All of you are the reason I get to do what I do, and I can’t even put into words how grateful I am for that.

That said, there is a very clear misconception that I think needs clearing up. Something that has been weighing on me for a while, and actually came to a head a few days ago.

“Is it easy money?”

Sex workers get asked this question a lot. Some genuinely think it’s as easy as flashing somebody and being handed hundreds of dollars for it. Others assume it has to be easy and those who do it are lazy and against real work. While I could go on about how incorrect both of these ideas are for hours (and likely will at some point), I’m only mentioning it now because I was just asked if it’s easy money by somebody.

I’m not shy about how much work goes into what I do, and have commented on it many times in many places. My entire job isn’t just to get naked and roll around in money. I also need to handle all aspects of: marketing, filming, editing, ad writing, uploading/queuing, customer service, driving SEO/traffic, and other things I’m sure I’ll remember 2 hours from now when I’m not actively thinking about it. However, that still isn’t really my main point. My main point is…

How much do I really make for all of that?

Honestly, most will tell you that you get back what you put in. Which is very true, and I want to note that I’m only able to do this part-time because I have a full-time job (that I only have because I don’t make enough to do this full-time, vicious cycle, eh?)

That said, there seems to be this idea floating around that I make anywhere from 1k-3k per month on this, with more people leaning towards 2-3k. Given that the majority of people don’t buy my porn and wait for freebies, I’m fascinated by this idea.

I understand that buying porn is not in everybody’s budget. It’s a luxury service and just isn’t a priority, especially because sites like PornHub allow people to watch so much for free. So to an extent, I get it. But let me ask this: if I make enough to not need a full time job, and the majority of my followers get off to my free content, where is that money coming from? PornHub (and really any site with an AdRev program) pays around $0.50 per every 1000 views on a video, Xvideos doesn’t allow earnings on any videos under 10 minutes, and MV Tube pays just as poorly as PornHub. So how could somebody possibly make $2-3k per month if nobody is paying?

What about your live services? You have to make money off of that!

Yup, live services typically account for 50% of my sex work income. I don’t think people have ever done the math, though. My minimum for sexting services is 15 minutes, and I charge $20 for it. Depending on the payment method I’m probably losing 15%-40% of that, and then I have to set aside about 30% for taxes. Which means on a $20 sale with a 15% payment processor fee, I make about $12. To make $2000 in a month off of just that one example, I would need to take over 160 sexting sessions. Sure, that’s only 5 sessions a day, but that would mean I would have to work every single day of the month and likely not relax at all on the days I work my day job. It also means finding 5 people to have sessions with, which is definitely not as easy as some of you think. As a fat chick without a jawline (hello, 6 chins!), non-gigantic breasts. and a fairly flat ass, people typically aren’t looking for my body type. Add in that I’m not shy about my mental disorders and I’m fond of bitching on social media because I don’t believe in having to ALWAYS be sunshine and rainbows, and you have yourself one not-so-in-demand lady.



And really, the main way to make money off of any live services is to be available for long periods of time and often. Not easy when you have to be up at 5:30 every morning.

So wait, how do you make money then?

The very blunt, overly honest answer? I don’t. If I’m lucky, I make about $1000 in a month. Not quite that 2-3k people seem to think I’m bringing in, huh? That means in a year I bring in around $12,000. For reference, that’s only $2000 more than I made at a slightly above minimum wage retail job I used to have. I also put way more hours into my sex work than I did at that job, yet the results are almost the same. Keep in mind, I’ve been doing sex work for 4 years. Doesn’t seem right, does it?

Of course some sex workers out there make tons of money each month. It is absolutely possible! But again, I have 40+ hours each week removed from my availability, I’m part of a niche market, and, the final nail in the coffin: my followers don’t want to pay me.



Diffusion of responsibility is a sociopsychological phenomenon that shows, when a group of people are together, each person becomes less likely to do something because they assume somebody else will or already has. If you’ve ever been in a Chaturbate stream you’ve likely seen something like this in action: a room full of non-tipping users, just waiting around for somebody to come in and start tipping for things on the model’s menu. While some may not be able to afford it, it’s probably safe to assume that at least one person in that chat could have started tipping, but they chose not to. Putting aside those who think cam models shouldn’t get paid/porn shouldn’t be paid for, it’s safe to reason that they just assumed somebody else would do it.

Wait, how do those other models make money then?

Lots of ways I touched on before. Maybe they’ve been at this longer, or they’re not part of a small niche. Maybe they have more time to put towards it. One thing I’ve definitely noticed: their fans engage. On Twitter, on Reddit, in Discord servers, in cam rooms… their fans talk, interact, they want to be part of the model’s success, not just a leech looking for jerk off material or hoping for special treatment. If I had a dollar for every fan who begged me for freebies but turned around and dropped hundreds on somebody else, or who told me that they already bought one service from me so they don’t see why they should buy anything else, or even directly told me they would never, ever buy from me but would instead get off to my 9 second previews on Manyvids (I am NOT exaggerating, these have all happened)… well, I wouldn’t have felt compelled to write this.

I firmly believe a large portion of why my sales look the way they do is because most of my followers would rather wait 6 months for me to put out a free video than spend $10 on one. They would rather hoard free nudes for contest votes than spend $25 for more content than they know what to do with. Maybe they think I don’t need the income. Maybe they don’t think I’m worth it. Maybe I’m not. But one thing seems to be clear, based on conversations, polls, surveys, etc.: they definitely think others are paying.

Please don’t misunderstand…

I do love you all. I really am grateful for all of my followers, and I absolutely hate to sound like an entitled brat. Some of you have followed me for years and I can’t describe how wonderful it feels to have you around. Some of you I’ve gotten close to and consider dear friends. Some of you show up so consistently that I sincerely look forward to hearing from you on just about anything. I wouldn’t trade you guys for the world. I honestly mean that.



I also don’t want to pressure anybody–never, EVER would I ask for you to put any kind of financial strain on yourself. Take care of yourself first and foremost, always.

Before anybody starts with the “real exhibitionists don’t need money!”: I only do this work and WANT to do this work because I’m an exhibitionist. Personally I wouldn’t want to share my naked body if I didn’t enjoy it, even if I could make money off of it. However, there is a huge difference between taking a minute out of my day to take and share a nude vs. spending hours upon hours to make and release videos. Time is money, and most of us won’t complain about not getting paid for 1 minute of work, but nobody would like to be stiffed after putting in 8+ hours of work, right?



If I want to make this my main source of income, and I really do, I have to put my foot down somewhere. I want to have time to dedicate to activities that involve you all (streaming, camming, etc.), I want to have time to make more free and more paid porn, I want to have time to create tons of content for MV Crush and OnlyFans, I want to have the chance to collab with others… but between life, work, and more work, I can’t. I have to have the income to back it up, and despite what everybody thinks, I don’t. So sex work goes on the back burner, and I have to put off my passion for another day. Another week. Another month. Another year.
