'I make up to $200,000 a month on OnlyFans, but I wouldn’t recommend it'

Lucy Lemon, 31, a top OnlyFans star who creates content anonymously, has revealed that she makes up to $200,000 a month but wouldn't recommend the job to everyone.

The OnlyFans star is in the top 0.02 per cent of creators and has over 751,000 Instagram followers but has never shared her identity, by keeping most of her face hidden when she shares photos and videos on both her public and private social media accounts.

Lucy used to work a full-time corporate position when she came across a TikTok livestream where an OnlyFans creator was explaining how much money she makes. After realising how much money she could be earning, Lucy decided to give it a go and began posting 'corporate' content while remaining totally anonymous.

"In the early days, every spare minute was spent growing my social media channels that would direct people back to my OnlyFans," she says. "I’d start my side hustle work in the mornings, continue it on my lunch break and of course, keep working in the evening and on weekends."

Lucy quickly built a large fan base who were interested in her corporate career secret and then subscribed to find out more.

"It would have been about four months in that I was earning $5000 a week and I thought, ‘something’s gotta give’. I couldn’t keep doing both [OnlyFans and full-time work]. I had so many videos go viral that I shot up to the top 0.02% of creators, and I quit full-time work," she adds.

After deciding to go all-in on OnlyFans, Lucy had her most successful month, earning $200,000, however, she wants to make it clear that it's not as easy as one might assume.

"Since the day I started my OnlyFans, I haven't taken a day off," Lucy shares. "I’ve been through a divorce... I’ve been through several surgeries... life dramas. And no one knows."

She continues, "I haven’t seen another Australian creator see such success being anonymous on OnlyFans because I’m sure lots of people realise it requires ten times the work and hustle to actually succeed.

"It’s very isolating. I can’t talk to anyone about what I do for work or celebrate my wins, but yet I work constantly."

While it hasn't been easy, Lucy has managed to pay off $40,000 in personal debt.

"No one would ever suspect me to be on OnlyFans, because I wouldn’t even talk about my sex life with friends," Lucy says. "I’m not like a lot of other creators. I’m very reserved, I live a quiet life, and I don’t want people in my private life to see that other, more sexual side of me.

"Doing OnlyFans has taught me that every regular person you walk past on the street probably has a secret fantasy and I actually find that really interesting… I love getting an intimate insight into so many people’s private lives."
