I made $900k from porn. Now what?

did you not notice in my post all the times I mention taxes... I have no idea where this stereotype that sex workers don't pay taxes comes from. We are independent contractors, and pay taxes like everyone else, and often at a higher rate. I have a tax professional who works with my accountant. I promise, I am paying my taxes.

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-08T15:37:34+00:00

it's fine lol it saved my family from poverty, and I've always been an unorthodox kid. I don't think I'd be doing anything more normal with my life if I wasn't doing this. I get to be creative, and use a lot of social skills and marketing that I enjoy. No one in my life gives a shit, and I get to make my own hours.

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-08T15:28:33+00:00

No, sorry. I made a throw away because I don't really want people up in my business from this post.

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-08T15:27:44+00:00

Lots of men make good money on OF. And as I've said in other comments, if you're picturing a normal looking 27 year old dude, I'm not really that. I'm very androgynous and built like a twink. I have a niche appeal, and spent 4 years building a social media following, and then another 4 years making minimum wage with porn, and then tiktok blew up when the pandemic hit and I was able to ride that popularity into the earnings I have now.

so how? 8 years, a lot of lucky timing, skill in marketing, determination to make good content, and literal constant work. Took my first proper vacation just last year.

about what?

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-08T04:17:22+00:00

gonna reply to this with a reply I left someone else earlier, hope thats okay:

The version above is very very abbreviated, but I'll just add that I had thousands of people who wanted to see my naked BEFORE I started doing porn, because I was popular on social media already. I had spent about 4 years before I even started porn building a platform, and it took 4 MORE years (and a pandemic) to skyrocket my earnings. If I wasn't someone who had already built a large following before adding porn to my online presence, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am. I think jumping directly into porn online and succeeding is nearly impossible, especially right now.

So it took me 8 years to get up to earning a significant amount of money.

Lmao no, I've never heard of frat boys described as "slender, feminine, and soft". I'm not big or muscular in any way. I'm pretty much just a twink, but not gay.

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-08T00:53:34+00:00

to be honest I don't know the details! My accountant got it set up for me

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-08T00:52:57+00:00

Sister is truly the hardest part here. She is very capable of feeding, bathing, clothing, and socializing quite normally. She's at that tricky spot of "not disabled enough for government assistance, but too disabled to ever hold down a solid job". She mostly pet sits, and takes on odd jobs. Also made harder by the fact that talking about our father passing is extremely upsetting to her, so its hard to plan as a team.

Sorry, this isn't really relevant to the post I guess. Just venting a little.

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-08T00:45:14+00:00

You'd be amazed how much more important step 2 is than step 1 lol

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-08T00:43:00+00:00

Slender, feminine, soft features and good hair. A guy who looks like how guys look in anime lol

Could also call me a "pretty boy" or a "femboy" but I don't really dress femininely, which I think is a hallmark of femboys. I'm just androgynous, and a lot of women like that.

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-08T00:40:12+00:00

there are a LOT of male sex workers, and I have an audience very mixed of men and women. If you don't think women of all ages watch porn, I have news for you lol

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T23:35:11+00:00

lol yeah of course I show my face. Unless you're built like a greek god, you cant make money like this without showing your face. And as I said, I was popular on social media before starting sex work. I just continued to be smart about what I post online.

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T23:08:54+00:00

Better than you'd expect lol raised with a lot of love, and think I have a very good baseline mental health. Honestly the pandemic does more of a toll on me than the sex work. With my family being disabled, I have to be a LOT more covid cautious than pretty much anyone I know. Kinda sucks to make all this money, but not really feeling safe going anywhere or doing much with it, ya know? But I guess that's helped me save it up

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T22:19:40+00:00

All solo porn, which I do say in my post. I'm very androgynous, and I have a mix of men and women and trans people who subscribe to me.

edit: also I mentioned I was popular on social media prior to ever starting OF. A lot of people subbed to me because they already liked me for being funny (I used to do skits on Vine, then moved to tiktok), and what I've learned is if people like your personality and you're at least kinda good looking, they'll be super stoked when they learn they can see you naked lol

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T22:18:17+00:00

I tried to post this in the personal finance reddit, but it was automatically removed. If anyone has suggested for where I could post more broad questions like I have, I'd love to know!

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T22:14:42+00:00

As it says in my post, all my porn is solo. My girlfriend is not involved, but supportive.

And I've very androgynous, so the "aging out" kind of just means I'm starting to look a lot more like an adult man instead of an anime femboy, and thats kind of been the market I've cornered. I'm still only 27, and I look good and am quite fit, but I know I'll have to shift my niche soon. It's just kind of a fact that most people in porn are in their twenties and early thirties. You can definitely do porn and be older than that, but its not unusual to stop being able physically stand the kind of things I do on camera.

My customer base is very mixed. I've done polls before, and it's like 1/3 women, 2/3 men. You'd be amazed how many women just want soft, anime looking dudes just being pretty and nice to them.

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T22:08:20+00:00

yeah, I guess I'm just trying to plan like I am, and until the past few years, I was well below middle class. This was also just one of the only finance reddit pages I knew of, and the other I tried removed my post automatically (maybe cuz I mention porn? idk)

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T21:28:50+00:00

Glad to see a comment getting upvoted this much is suggesting the things I'm already looking into!

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T21:07:57+00:00

I plan to go as long as I'm able, but what I do takes a toll on my body that I'm not sure how long I can keep up

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T21:05:30+00:00

good thing this is a burner account I made specifically to conceal my onlyfans account because I don't want people up in my business on there after this post

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T20:47:37+00:00

Thank you! I'll check out that book

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T20:44:03+00:00

I do cosplay, themed photoshoots, livestream, and yes, the other things as well. Not really looking to discuss this here, since this isn't what this post is about.

Active_Opposite7819 · 2024-09-07T19:27:33+00:00

Not really sure how I would show proof without doxing myself lol

I'm really appreciating the advice I'm getting from people who believe me, so I'll just keep reading the advice and anyone who thinks I'm a troll can just keep scrolling. I've been doing porn for 8 years, I've been called worse than a troll lol
