A successful OnlyFans model has revealed how the cost of living crisis has forced her to slash prices. Fenella Fox - who describes herself as "that hairy girl from the news" - is one of many creators who upload content to the subscription-based website, which has surged in popularity in recent years.
She was raking in around $20,000 dollars a month at the peak of her success last summer. But, in an interview with the Daily Star, she revealed how recent spending habits has seen her monthly income dip to around $15,000.
The 28-year-old, who gained notoriety on the site after embracing her "all-natural" look, has responded by reducing her prices in order to remain competitive. And in addition to subscribers reining in their spending habits as the cost of living becomes more expensive, the entrepreneur also believes that the market will become more crowded as other people join the site in a bid to make money.
Speaking to GloucestershireLive, she said: "Success [on OnlyFans] is all about adapting and keeping up with the times. I have to check the news daily to see what's going on in the world and how it may impact business.
"Tease content, like a video of me showering, doesn't sell as well and I now feel I need to make more hardcore content, like videos using sex toys, to get the most sales. "It may look easy on the outside but there's a lot more work that goes into it than people may realise. I think as bills increase, more people will turn to the site to make money over the next few months."
The businesswoman said that her page was "selling easily $40 a month (around £34.68) when she began in February 2020 - but now she has to "regularly put on $5 sales". One piece of advice she has for beginners starting out on the site is "avoiding rounded numbers like $10 and instead using $9 helps".
