I’m porn star Lacey Amour & I was caught filming in a Travelodge – here’s how much average OnlyFans creator really earns
THE porn star who was caught filming in a Travelodge has revealed how much cash an average OnlyFans creator earns.
Lacey Amour, 23, recently hit headlines as she was one of a group of 28 people who checked into the Newcastle hotel to create an x-rated movie.
The OnlyFans model was also once chased out of Paris for filming near the Eiffel Tower.
The Welsh woman has now got bared all and revealed how much the average x-rated content creator makes.
Lacey said many think they can set up an OnlyFans account and make five figures overnight – but that’s not the case.
She said the average model actually only makes about £120 – or $150 USD – a month.
Lacey told WalesOnline: “It’s portrayed that you set up a page and instantly make £10,000.
“This isn’t the case at all and actually, there are 1.2million creators on OnlyFans and the average creator earns $150 (USD) per month.
“It takes a lot of time and effort to build a big account with a decent wage and even then, it’s not guaranteed.”
The porn star said she now makes a good living from the site – but it’s taken “blood, sweat and tears”.
When Lacey first started out on OnlyFans in 2019, she was making about £100 a month.
She eventually started putting more effort into her content and her income climbed to around £500 a month, then £2,000.
Lacey said: “After having a taste of what I could earn, and learning that you get out what you put in, I put more into it.
“I dropped out of my first year of uni a year and a half ago and spent every waking moment trying to grow my business, and it’s growing rapidly.”
She explained it’s not as simple to make money on OnlyFans as people thing.
Creators have to also market themselves on social media, talk to subscribers 24/7, post multiple times a day, and pour money into outfits and props.
The 23-year-old explained: “This isn’t about setting up a page, posting photos of your feet, no one finding out and making a million pounds.
“You have to build a brand, just like any other business.
“You have to wear every single hat and do it well to be successful.”
She added: “Being successful on OnlyFans is one part luck and three parts blood, sweat and tears.”
