Mum sells photos to fans to earn £100k a month

SHE TURNED TO IT OUT OF DESPERATIO­N BUT NOW SHE LOVES HER JOB

A SINGLE mum who was forced to live off food stamps now makes £100,000 a month selling saucy snaps 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 children. In 10 days she had made £1,600 from selling her racy content and she now makes up to £100,000 a month on her page.

The mum-of-two was able to save enough to buy herself a £230,000 fourbedroo­m house and a £45,000 Porsche – things she would never have dreamed of affording three years ago. Rebecca, an Onlyfans creator, from Mansfield, 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 Onlyfans out of desperatio­n and ended up making £1,600 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 Ben’s for over a month.

“I couldn’t even afford formula for my baby. I knew Onlyfans 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 Onlyfans 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 £1,600 in 10 days.

“Then I started making £10,000 a month and now I make between £60,000 and £100,000 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 £15,000 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. I’ve sent dirty bathwater and underwear in the post before.”

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.”

I started out of desperatio­n and ended up making £1,600 in the first 10 days. It was madness
