This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

This happened to a girl I knew that tried to make some money on onlyfans during Covid lockdown. Only lasted 4 months, even though she was pretty attractive. I think guys just assume that as a girl, you can simply post nudes online and make money, while it actually does require consistent effort, marketing skills, and a bit of luck.

on onlyfans, like most platforms, the vast majority of people make little to nothing

Managed my friends only fans for a bit, we got her account to top 4.5%. She brought in ~$1.5K on a good month. One time we got up to $2K. This is with her having done porn with a few big studios and having a decent amount of followers on Twitter. There is no Discovery feature or feed on OF, you have to direct them there through a direct link. Had to keep a consistent production schedule, deal with inquires from patrons. Successfully running and only fans is like running a business, people don't simply give you money.

Making money requires work

That comes as a surprise for many people

[–] Lemmynated@lemmy.zip 60 points 1 week ago

I imagine it’s as easy to make money off of as YouTube or Twtich, almost impossible.

There's a bit on the Netflix Pornhub documentary from a camgirl. She notes that she does her own marketing, lighting, camera work, etc., and every once in a while, she masturbates on camera. It's a real job with real effort.

I know so many people trying to make it as streamers who cannot seem to understand that you have to do a lot of work to make anything catch on unless you are crazy lucky/extremely attractive. A regular person playing a game isn't interesting for others and it takes energy for most to cultivate a following.

Damn I remember this post from when I was on 4chan still. OP did provide links and his story was 100% true. The girl wasn't ugly, just kinda plain but almost every pic of her somehow exuded despair, and that was honestly offputting (except for the kind of creeps who get off on that I reckon).

Sounds like anon could had made her day by just talking to her

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 175 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Frankly, I’m glad she was spared the trouble. I can’t imagine they’d be able to offer words of encouragement without seeming intensely parasocial. A generic “you’re hot” wouldn’t have amounted to much. It doesn’t seem like there’s a correct answer, besides finding her irl, flashing her unlocked onlyfans, and begging for her socks

Your post ended in a way I was not expecting.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 62 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think this is the Hallmark original romcom I need in my life.

Maybe it's for the best he didnt...

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 85 points 1 week ago

Anon experiences empathy for once in their miserable life.
One of the few legit greentexts. lol

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 83 points 1 week ago (3 children)

There are a lot of people whod appreciate her features so its surprising she didnt get any attention. Maybe anon made up the story and is actually into men?

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 1 week ago

Lies? On the internet? Impossible!

[–] arin@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago

Nope anon is the girl trying to get your attention

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Someone else in the comments said they were there and it's actually real. Likely still into men though

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

fake and into men

[–] 1SimpleTailor@startrek.website 60 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

Lil tiddy supermarket goth girl sounds cute tbh, or maybe I just have a type.

Anyway, girls like this can be a real gem to find if you're a gooner. Their small fan base means if you're not a creep there's a chance of genuine interaction. She'll probably take request and if she likes you might even send you free content.

Some girls aren't in it for the money or fame, they just like posting nudes

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Right, but aren't those girls in it for the attention? The thrill? Sounds like she's not getting any attention, either.

plain, no curves, small tits, goth

Can a brother get a link?

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Know your worth and know where you are valued.

This can sound really deep, but it works for shallow too. I'm sorry girl, but the whore market is saturated and very competitive.

Where do I get my hands on the "aimless schlub" bluebook?

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 48 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, she really should wait until OP's mom retires.

That might be a while.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is a topic for a community like laststagecapitalism or similar.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not without a sob-story from the girl. Doubt she did it for the money. Someone with the time and commitment to doing this(if not energy or enthusiam) she demonstrated would make better money doing just about anything else.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Or she was doing drugs, therefore the enthusiasm. Energy fades. Now she is homeless. Or dead.
