British model, influencer and mogul-in-the-making Yasmin Baker is offering tips to rising OnlyFans content creators looking to cement a solid financial future.“Like many people, I had heard stories of OnlyFans creators making tons of money, so I joined in July 2019 with the goal of paying off my enormous mountain of debt left in the wake of an ex,” said Baker. “How hard could it be to make easy money throwing up some photos and videos?”
Nearly three years later she is one of the platform’s top earners, and her debt is completely paid off, but some tough lessons have been learned along the way. “The first thing I learned was that the ‘easy money’ takes months of hard work, promotion, and you have to stick with it and dedicate yourself to delivering both quality and quantity if you want to build a solid fan base.”
Once the money starts rolling in, Baker says that it is impossible not to want to spend money on cars, clothes and the finer things in life. “Resist that urge to splurge and start investing your money in ways that opens up other streams of income, like real estate. Do you see yourself doing OnlyFans in ten years? Maybe not, but you can keep that OnlyFans money working for you in ten years’ time.”
She also advises creators to save every penny in the beginning of their careers “because OnlyFans can flip the switch tomorrow and your income can disappear on a dime. You can go days without earning cash, so you’d better have something tucked away in case you need it. Money offers freedom and security, so the more you hold on to it, the more free and secure you’re going to be.”
Baker adds that prioritizing what’s important is key. “Money can actually buy happiness if you take stock in what means the most to you. For me, it’s my family, my dog, dog rescue organizations, starting a whole new life in Panama and investing in my financial future for personal security. So keep working towards your goals every day, embrace what makes you truly happy and be prepared for whatever tomorrow brings.”
