I sell racy snaps online – trolls call me desperate but I find it empowering

OnlyFans has become a popular income for many content creators.

Although some models are earning serious money from the website, it's not as simple as it looks.

One woman opened up about her experiences on the racy adults-only platform.

Swansea University graduate Lana set up an OnlyFans page at the end of April 2023.

Now the 30-year-old said she receives a lot of rude messages from men after they find out she's an OnlyFans model.

Before taking to the page, Lana graduated with a degree in Spanish and French, then started a teacher training course.

It didn't take long for her to realise it wasn't for her, so she turned to OnlyFans, reports WalesOnline.

Now only does she run a page, Lana also works evening shifts at a factory and as a spray tan beautician.

She said: "I was working 12-hour shifts in a factory but it was too much, so I joined OnlyFans.

"Since I started, I've received abuse messages from men."

Lana explained that she had one man "chatting her up" on a different website until he found out she did OnlyFans.

He called her a "desperate w****", while another lad labelled her a "dirty, little s***** h*" on Facebook.

She added: "I don't know what their problem is because girls share raunchy stuff on Instagram for free all the time.

"I'm getting constant abuse and all I'm doing is sharing raunchy photos – I don't see why they're so angry about it."

While it impacted her mental health at first, now Lana feels more empowered being an OnlyFans model.

She continued: "I have lots of followers on Facebook and get a lot of attention, so I thought why not.

"It's a bit of fun really, but it could be something big."

While she's only been doing it for a bit, Lana is optimistic about where it can take her.

"I've only been doing it a few weeks – but I do think it can give you financial freedom," she admitted.

She produces new content every day and posts a "sexy picture" every day at midnight so fans "wake up with a smile".

Currently, Lana has 50 subscribers and makes around £500 in her first month.
