A single mum who was forced to live off food stamps says she now makes £100K a month and has been able to save up to buy a £230,000 house and £45,000 car outright. Rebecca Goodwin, 28, was struggling to feed her two daughters - now four and 11 - and survived on food vouchers for over a month.
The family lived on six bags - each voucher provided five days worth of food - worth of food before Rebecca decided to start an OnlyFans page to help provide for her kids. She says that in 10 days she made £1.6k from selling sexual content and she now makes up to £100k a month on her page.
The mum-of-two claims she was able to save enough to buy herself a £230k four-bed house and a £45k Porsche – things she would never have dreamed of affording three years ago. Rebecca, an OnlyFans creator, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, said: “I was living off six bags of food for myself and my two daughters for over a month. I couldn’t even afford to throw my daughter a first birthday party.
“I started Only Fans out of desperation and ended up making £1.6k in the first 10 days. It was madness. I had never earned so much in a month before. Now I’ve been able to buy a four-bed house and a Porsche. My eldest knows about what I do and it doesn’t bother her at all.”
Rebecca couldn’t afford her gas and electric bills and was surviving on food vouchers to feed her family. She said: “I was a single mum and I couldn’t work as I had a baby and wouldn’t be able to afford childcare for her.
“I was looking for things I could do from home. I had a lot of guilt over the things I couldn’t provide for them. We were living on six bags of food full of tins of soup and lots of Uncle Bens for over a month.
“I couldn’t even afford formula for my baby. I knew Only Fans was a massive risk but I was desperate. I had asked for my third food voucher and they had talked about getting social services involved because I was struggling. I knew I had to give Only Fans a try.”
Rebecca started her Only Fans page in April 2019 and was shocked at how quickly it took off. She said: “I had dipped my toe in by seeing if people would buy content on Snapchat but I was still shocked. I made £1.6k in 10 days.
“Then I started making £10k a month and now I make between £60 and £100k a month. I couldn’t apply for a mortgage because my job isn’t considered stable and I have a bad credit score because of my past.
“Just before I started Only Fans I was in £15k of debt and got a debt relief order. I saved for six months to buy a four-bed house outright.”
Rebecca now loves her job and spends her days working from home and when she wants. “I do get a lot of strange requests. A guy asked me to poo in a Tupperware and send it in the post but I didn't do that.
“I’ve sent dirty bathwater and underwear in the post before.”
She is also known for her unusual collection of sex toys - including silicone versions of a corn on the cob, umbrella, carrot, a screw champagne bottle and a traffic cone. She added: “I’m known as traffic cone girl a lot of the time because I have sex toy traffic cone."
Rebecca said her family and friends are nothing but supportive of her career, saying: “My mum is all for it. She loves it. They are all very accepting because they saw how in trouble I was.
“My eldest knows what I do and she’s not bothered. My youngest saw a gnome toy as I was opening it when it came through the post, and she said 'is this Santa Claus?' If they grow up around a sex-positive environment it is normalised.”
