What It's About
Today’s caller seeks a less provocative way to capitalize on socially-funded fan content.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1724
A timely episode! OnlyFans has been in the news a lot recently. The platform had tremendous growth at the beginning of the pandemic, largely due to amateur online sex workers who solicited supporters through the platform. Some of them have done very well, earning tens of thousands of dollars a month, though of course many others have not done so well. Today’s caller does not want to do that kind of work—she’s wondering about using the platform for something much more PG-rated. OnlyFans was not originally set up to be primarily for adult entertainment, it’s just kind of turned out that way. Also, one note: in the time since this question has come in, the rules have changed once again. The OnlyFans ban on adult content was lifted—so that factors a bit into the answer."Hi Chris this is Stacey and I recently started listening to the show. I'd like to start a fan club and am wondering about the best way to do it. Now that OnlyFans has announced that they are removing sexually explicit content, I'm giving it more serious consideration. However, I worry about the stigma of being an OnlyFans creator even though it no longer has that adult content. I think some people will still think "porn" when they think OnlyFans, and that has nothing to do with my fan club. Should I be worried? Are there any good alternatives?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
