An OnlyFans model has found out that the adult content site doesn't automatically make everyone's money problems disappear, with her decision to create spicy content leaving her 'completely broke'.
And she says she's only got herself to blame in an honest account of her move to the adult industry.
OnlyFans has become an extremely popular platform, with millions of people accessing it every single day. Paying subscriptions for content, it's become a way for people to monetise their spicier side.
Some earn millions - and that's not per year, but every single month. Others have used it to pay off their debts and given them financial freedom.

But it isn't a success story for every single person that opts to sell content on OnlyFans.
One young OF creator, known only by her first name of Sarah and the username @cowgirl6999, started on the adult platform in the hope of making cash and quickly.
But the Australian, who is 25, hasn't had the best time of it.
Sarah said: "I initially got into spicy work because I wanted to make lots of money and thought it was going to be an easy job."

Thinking about using it as a short term fix to her finances, Sarah hoped OnlyFans could give her a solid financial base from which to then start up her own business.
But it's left her finances in a complete mess, with Sarah even losing her home as a result.
She said: "I’m completely broke. I lost my house, and yeah, I’m just kind of failing at life at the moment.
"I feel like I’ve lost everything to do this job. I’ve lost friends and family members, and I’ve made myself financially cooked."

But her honesty on the issue has seen Sarah take ownership of the blame for what has happened, saying: "This is my fault. I made the decision to do this. It is not the industry’s fault."
Assuming she would make big money in a relatively short period of time, the reality of the adult industry has been eye-opening for the Aussie.
Sarah explained: "The general societal opinion seems to be that porn is easy money, but anyone who has spent substantial time in this line of work understands the over-saturation in the market and the amount of work required to maintain a fan base."

It hasn't all been about money for her, though, praising OF for its ability to let her 'become more confident in herself' and pursue a career in modelling and photography.
