Think of it like taking on a second job – it really is that much work. If you had another job, you’d expect to put in extra hours, right? The same goes for OnlyFans. You’re not just doing the “fun” stuff like shooting content, you’re also editing, posting, promoting, chatting, and dealing with time-wasters. And even with all that effort, there’s no guarantee of success.

At first, it might feel exciting and creative because it’s something you choose to do. But once it becomes something you have to do regularly, it’s easier to feel burnt out or disheartened.

Not trying to be a downer, just keeping it real – there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes than people realize.

That said, give it a try! See how you feel after 6 months. If you’re making enough to live on and save a bit too, then it might be worth going all in.

When my creative or sexual energy runs low (for any reason), I give myself permission to take a break. Sometimes that means doing just the bare minimum for a few weeks — and I’m lucky that I can do that because I’m not a full-time creator, nor do I plan to become one.

At first, it was tough to accept. I wanted to keep growing and pushing myself. But I quickly realized that, with everything else going on — managing mental health, working, and studying for my degree — I would burn out fast if I kept going at full speed. And burning out helps no one.

We all have limits, and it’s totally okay to respect them.

Of course, not everyone has the privilege of stepping back when needed — everyone’s situation is different. I just wanted to share what works for me. 🙂
