>>12170There was a discussion about BigCuties a while back, I forget which thread... But basically there are like 3 people on that site that made enough to have it be worth it as a career. Everyone else was getting a couple hundred a month. You factor in hotel rooms, outfits, props or food, you break even. And for what? Validation of horny strangers that pester you to get fatter?
A good amount of people that start out of nowhere absolutely get discouraged when they're not an overnight sensation. The truth of it is you need to be establishing a presence to build up a market and that takes time. Most of the women you see being successful have been modeling for a decade, and the field was not nearly as competitive as it is now.
You don't even need to start out by selling straight away - Letakelsie was on/off with her online activity on Instagram & Feabie for years and when she started OnlyFans she was set to make thousands a month. She could have modeled full time and do something part time IRL to cover her ass. FatMissT was selling content personally and when she jumped to OF she was eventually making enough to afford a place to live.
The success stories are there, but unless you really market yourself or have something unique to show, you're going to be making chump change. And with a growing base of models that expect to be paid for just being hot - the reality checks are in the mail.
