OnlyFans changed my life – model
THE name Scarlett Moon may not ring a bell with many people, but if you are a subscriber of popular social media platform OnlyFans, you will be very familiar with the work of the Joburg nude model.
Moon was among the first South Africans to register an account on the hit platform a few years ago.
The model is paid in dollars and makes a substantial amount of money.
OnlyFans has become popular for its explicit content. The platform was created in 2016 and allows users to pay for private content (photos, videos and live streams) with a monthly subscription.
Sex workers, fitness trainers, models, public figures and other “content creators” use it to grow and monetise their fan base.
While the platform is open to virtually any content creators, it has become popular for its explicit sexual content.
The model offers a variety of services on OnlyFans, including sending customised nudes to subscribers, rating men’s penis pictures, striptease erotica videos, customised erotica videos, as well as personalised fetish videos. She also offers her customers customised feet fetish and stocking videos. All for a fee, of course.
An option that has proved to be a huge hit among her subscribers is sending her worn G-strings and pantyhose directly to paying subscribers.
She says since joining OnlyFans she has received some crazy fetish requests, some which she has fulfilled, and others which she has rejected.
While she is now her own boss and earns in dollars, this was not always the case. She says she started up on OnlyFans after an unfortunate and unfair work dismissal in 2018.
The model had a corporate job at one of the most popular wellness brands in the country and lost her job just before lockdown.
“I ran a very well-known big company’s wellness centre. One day I got called in and was told I posted something inappropriate on Instagram and that I was being dismissed.
“At that time I never posted anything over the top because I knew I was working in a corporate environment. Apparently an employee alerted the bosses to one of my posts. I went to the CCMA and nothing came of it.
“I still don’t know what picture it was that got me dismissed. However, what happened was a blessing in disguise because it led me to where I am today.”
She then weighed up her options and stumbled across social media platform Patreon.
“I was on Patreon for a little while creating content, and then soon after, OnlyFans was launched.
“It seemed interesting and something I definitely was interested in exploring. I went to check it out, signed up, and haven’t looked back.”
