Are you curious about OnlyFans but haven’t taken the leap due to fear, prejudices, or because someone filled your head with stories? You’re not alone. Many women like you have had doubts at first, and it’s no wonder: there’s too much misinformation floating around out there.
In this article, we’re going to debunk, one by one, the most common myths about OnlyFans. Not from fantasy, but from the real experience of what happens behind a successful account. If you’re thinking about entering this world or you already have but aren’t seeing results, this read will open your eyes.
Myth 1: “Only famous people or those who already have many followers earn money”
This is one of the most dangerous myths, and because of it, many women don’t even try. It’s true that having an audience helps, but it’s not the only thing that matters. In fact, many models with few followers on Instagram or TikTok generate stable income thanks to a smart strategy.
The key is how you manage your profile, how you drive traffic to your OnlyFans, and how you convert your followers into customers. You don’t need to be famous; you need to know how to play your cards right. And for that, there are specialized agencies (like Velvet 😉) that take care of all the marketing for you.
Myth 2: “OnlyFans is only for sexual content”
This myth has limited many women. While it’s true that most of the most profitable accounts offer erotic or adult content, that doesn’t mean all of them do. On OnlyFans, there are also personal trainers, cooks, artists, foot models, gamer girls, fitness girls, etc.
What’s important? Having an audience willing to pay for your exclusive content. If you understand your niche and know who you’re targeting, you can monetize even without nudity.
That said: if you decide to upload erotic content, that’s also valid. The decision is always yours. There are no fixed rules, only strategies that work better depending on your personality.
Myth 3: “You’ll be publicly shamed if you open an account”
Most women who don’t take the plunge are afraid of “what people will say.” And while it’s understandable, the reality is you have much more control than you think.
You choose who sees your content; you can block countries, cities, and even specific people. Besides, OnlyFans isn’t an open social network like Instagram or TikTok. Here, nobody sees anything if they don’t pay.
And most importantly: do you really care what someone who doesn’t even help you pay the rent thinks? This is your body, your image, and your decision. And if you do it professionally, there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Myth 4: “You need to know about marketing, editing, and social media to earn”
This myth mixes truth with fear. Yes, marketing matters, and knowing how to manage social media can make a difference… but that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.
Nowadays, there are agencies like Velvet that handle all the “dirty work”: content editing, social media management, subscriber acquisition, personalized messages, upselling… You just take care of creating the content, and they do the rest.
In fact, many of the top models don’t even manage their own OnlyFans accounts. They have a team that does it for them.
Myth 5: “It’s easy, you just upload photos and that’s it”
This is the myth that makes many women start excited and give up after two weeks. No, it’s not as easy as it seems. It’s not enough to upload pretty photos and wait for money to fall from the sky.
This is a job. And like any job, it requires effort, consistency, strategy, and market knowledge. If you take it seriously, it can become a real and stable source of income. But if you see it as an “experiment,” you’ll probably get frustrated quickly.
However, when you do things right, results come quickly.
Myth 6: “I don’t have the perfect body for this”
Serious mistake. There’s no such thing as a perfect body. There are different tastes. On OnlyFans, there’s a market for all types of women: tall, short, thin, curvy, tattooed, natural, pregnant, over 30… EVERYTHING.
The real secret is finding your niche and capitalizing on it. If you manage to create an authentic identity that feels real and desirable to a specific audience, it doesn’t matter if you don’t fit the Instagram mold.
There are clients looking for exactly what you have. But if you don’t show yourself, they’ll never find you.
Myth 7: “If I don’t earn much in the first month, it’s because I’m not cut out for this”
False. No job yields results in a week. Like any business model, OnlyFans has a learning curve. Some models take off in their first month, and others take three or four months to find their style, niche, and ideal strategy.
The important thing is to stay consistent and have support. Often, it’s not that you’re not cut out for it; it’s that you’re repeating mistakes others have already made, and you don’t have anyone to tell you what to improve.
That’s why it’s so important to surround yourself with people who know what they’re doing.
So, is OnlyFans worth it?
Yes. But not for everyone. It’s worth it if you’re willing to take it seriously. It’s worth it if you want to monetize your image, if you’re consistent, and if you understand that this is a career, not a lottery.
And if you don’t want to do it alone, you don’t have to. There are agencies that handle the entire process with you, step by step, with real and proven results. And that’s where Velvet comes in.
