When You Get Tired of Doing OnlyFans

When You Get Tired of Doing OnlyFans

From time to time, we bring you our OnlyFans tips and practices we've gleaned from our big circle of content creators. In this edition, we talk about OnlyFans fatigue. No matter how successful you get on OnlyFans, there is that moment that happens with any content creator when you just hit a wall, and the joy of producing naughty stuff for your subscribers is just gone. There's always that thrill at the beginning when you are building your base, and that money starts to come in, and those numbers start to rise. It is easy to stay motivated and on track when it is new and fresh. But keeping to it week after week can be daunting, and the excitement starts to ebb, and you find yourself getting lazier and lazier when filming and editing stuff. We've been there.

The fact is, you have to stick to a schedule to keep your subscribers engaged. If you don't have a regular schedule, your fans can start to look elsewhere for OnlyFans content. The not-so-fun fact is that there are tons of other content creators out there, so a Fan finding solace in someone else is very easy. It only takes once to disappoint a Fan until they are gone forever. Be honest with yourself about what you are capable of doing. Many OnlyFans newbies start off fast and furious with daily content, weekly live streaming, and weekly full scenes. That's a lot of work. What is doable to fit your life and your passion for doing this? It's like starting a new workout regimen. You won't stick with something that exhausts you past your limits.

Some of the exhausting elements of doing OnlyFans are that the money and your audience are not guaranteed. Whether it is the economy, algorithms, or subscribers just lose interest, your income can disappear from one month to the next, and your Fan base can dwindle, despite the effort you are putting into your content. That is just what happens on the platform. Sometimes, it can be your fault if you aren't engaging your audience properly, and sometimes it is just out of your hands. That can be frustrating when you are putting your full effort into it. Don't lose hope, it is entirely cyclical. When the money is rolling in, make sure you pocket some away for the slower months.

Something that is not really talked about in the adult content creator world is mental health. Doing OnlyFans and putting yourself out there in such a revealing and intimate way can take its toll. Check in with yourself and make sure you are doing ok. There is the constant pressure of seeing your income and numbers rise, there is the constant pressure of keeping your body up to what your Fans expect, and there is the constant pressure of having to create more and more content. Doing OnlyFans can be isolating, even if you are filming with others. You are editing, publishing, booking, and running your platform all on your own, to Fans who may or may not engage with you, but never on a real level. That can get depressing.

Some OnlyFans content creators tell us that they want out but feel like a failure if they close up shop. You have to do what fits in your life, and you have to do what is healthy for you. But it is a job, and if you want to succeed, you have to hold yourself accountable and do the damn thing. But you don't have to answer to anyone but you. If it gets too exhausting and the joy is gone, there is no shame in closing up shop and focusing on something else.

Do you, boo!
