A 28-year-old woman with a master’s degree in business is pulling in more than $130,000 a year through OnlyFans. She doesn’t do nudity, but after years of grinding to build a loyal audience, she runs her online business full-time. Despite the income, she says she’s ready to walk away.
“The job is boring. It’s not stimulating at all,” she wrote in a Reddit post that went viral with thousands of comments. “It’s hard to date with it and I miss being social. I live alone and work from home and have no coworkers.”
Her story hit a nerve with many.
Don’t Miss:
She explained that she worked nonstop through her early twenties, graduating with honors by 21 thanks to dual enrollment programs and college classes taken in high school. But when it came time to start a career, she said she hit a wall. Employers wouldn’t hire her for entry-level roles, saying she was overqualified. Others told her she didn’t have enough experience.
“I applied to thousands and thousands of jobs and I never could land one,” she wrote. Eventually, she took a job that paid just $30,000 a year and worked night shifts at restaurants to survive. “I worked about 80+ hours a week. I couldn’t sustain it.”
That led her to OnlyFans. She didn’t have a big social media following and avoided explicit content, but she found success producing niche fetish content. She now runs over 10 platforms, does her own marketing, tracks expenses, and manages her business alone.
“It took years to build a following and I don’t think anyone has any clue how hard it actually is,” she said. “99% of women make less than $100 a month on OF.”

Even with her success, she says the work is isolating and emotionally draining. She wants to move on but doesn’t want to take a financial hit. Her goal is to find a job that pays six figures, offers some freedom and flexibility, and ideally lets her work from home.
She floated real estate as an option, saying it could let her be social but still work independently. She also noted her experience in sales and digital marketing.
The responses to her post were mixed.
Some praised her as a self-made entrepreneur who essentially runs a solo digital marketing firm. “You don’t have to say you were a model on OnlyFans. The job was the marketing, the financial management, the endless paperwork you had to file to be… a small business owner,” one former career coach wrote.

Others pointed her toward sales jobs in tech, pharmaceuticals, or luxury vehicles, where strong communication and hustle can pay off fast. Some said she should launch her own agency to help other content creators grow.
One Redditor summed it up like this: “You already know what it takes to build something. Go build something you’re passionate about.”
Still, many reminded her that jobs offering $100,000 with no direct experience are rare. She may need to take a short-term pay cut to gain long-term career satisfaction.
