My birthday is in less than two weeks!

I think I’m gonna be a lil more transparent about my income here, because I’ve been having a rough month financially and I also want to dispel some common myths about OF creators’ income. Tl;dr most of us are struggling.

Also first want to say that if you’re reading this thank you and THANK YOU for being subscribed!! You are already supporting me & my work and even if you aren’t able to tip extra that is so, so appreciated. There are literally thousands of people who consume my free media on my socials and never give me a dime. I appreciate you all 🖤

So June is looking like the first month in a few that my income will be less than it was the previous month. My goal for June is $2500 and I’m $600 away. That goal is before taxes and after the sites I use take their 20-40% cut. I’ve never made $2500 in a month, and even if I did every month I’d make $30k/year before taxes. I make even less - about 2/3 less - from my vanilla job, so porn is not a side hustle or supplemental income for me. It’s my primary income. Granted I am in a 2-income household which absolutely helps, and I am not struggling as much as some. Like I said, transparency.

That said, I don’t feel $30k/year is reflective of the time and work I put into my content. I love making porn more than anything I’ve ever done but it is hard to not make what you feel your labor is worth. A small handful of creators are raking it in, but most of us work near-constantly for very little. And most of the work is behind the scenes, and there’s a lot of it! Editing & queueing content, budgeting & bookkeeping, personal care & upkeep, promoting on social media, watermarking content, creating thumbnails & descriptions, so much more. And there are unseen expenses like hosting my own domain, paying a DMCA takedown service to remove my stolen content, etc.

The idea that this is easy money couldn’t be farther from the truth. Thank you all for being here 🖤🖤
