    Like I showed above, some people in Ireland are definitely earning what OP describes. Maybe 10-20 in terms of just subscribers, maybe 50-100 when you factor in tips/requests/SC/avoiding OF commission. So on that basis I think advice should be given for the original question.

    My advice is even more "don't quit" than before. Way too much competition in the top tier. Your assumption of increased revenue is predicated on competition staying the same which it obviously will not (it'll increase until it's banned). On the other side, I imagine that the userbase will not increase significantly and that the letch market is largely tapped. Furthermore, traffic to porn and OF increased massively when Covid restrictions were instated and it's trending down since. I imagine it'll decrease significantly as restrictions are removed.

    So it'll be exponentially more difficult to increase income beyond a certain point, and you may be close to that point now. I wouldn't give up a job for a hypothetical income when you now have the job + that income/3. If you're genuinely putting 100s of K into Bitcoin then you'll likely have 10's of millions worth within 5 years, so you don't really need more money long term. Best way to mitigate risks here is to keep your job.

    I may not agree with most of your posts on this thread but I appreciate the advice. Also, its good to see you're so confident in Bitcoin! :)

    Well I am long term but it'll also crash 90% before the next bull run, which is another risk you're mitigated by keeping your job.

    What is with the bizarre attitude? I didn't say I had any major winnings with Bitcoin?
    And how much time do you think posting on Boards takes?
    Really weirded out by the aggression here. I don't know if it's jealousy or something but it's not fair.

    You that you have been investing and hope to make an income which will sustain you if OF goes bust.
    There’s no aggression it’s just funny. I’m addressing the gullible eejits here not you. I think you are very clever with all your PM drumming up of business.
    You mentioned earlier - based on all the PMs you have received from this thread - that you will be making 30k a month in no time. So 18k a month additional...hmmm are there enough people following this thread for that lol :)

    None of the few who are are only putting in one hour per day. That is what makes no sense.

    You are correct I can’t possible know for all. But the top Irish ones have all come out and explained it’s a 24/7 job? It doesn’t make sense you could only spend an hour to sustain those kind of numbers.

    I have no doubt there may be some who spend only an hour....but then spend more than an hour outside of it performing ‘other’ services they are selling....

    What percentage of your hour is messaging and what percentage is making the pictures/videos?

    I can make a multitude of content one day and then disseminate it throughout the week. You haven't a clue what it takes, so why comment?

    Put it to bed mods? That's sad. It amuses me that some posters seem to have a compulsion to post in threads they clearly don't believe.

    Edit: Do you ask everyone who lists what they earn in 'Work & Jobs' to post their payslip? or is it just young girls who earn some money?

    You are just going in circles makes no sense why you didnt send any link to the ones you asked for it, they said you asked them for snapchat or email as OF take 20% .
    So why do you keep posting looking for advice when you have got answers already . Sad is making a OF selling yourself are you going on love island next ? .

    Never once asked what you earned so you are just making **** up now go back and find where I asked you how much you euro. You made this thread and told everyone what your salary is as a nurse and how much you are getting from OF

    Dont no what your trying to say when you say young girls.your a adult in a full time job as a nurse in our health care system and you made a OF so you are not a young girl . You are just looking for attention

    Take a career break ie quit your job, move to a tax free country. Do not this for a few years. Save a few million. Get a nursing job somewhere else and live in a villa near the sea.

    Happy days

    If she is, as you claim, using this thread to generate business then I suggest that you must be in partnership with her. You keep giving the thread oxygen. If you really believe that she is using the thread & it really bothers you then why not stop posting. You are keeping the thread going far longer than it would have otherwise.

    Nah:), forensically examining what might be a troll thread in order to expose it is getting trolled.

    Even if it proves to be a troll thread it is pretty sad the effort put in to gain some virtual moral high ground.

    Had a nose through the famous Irish OF'er Niamh O'Connor's Instagram today, all I can say she seems to be spending her money wisely.

    She bought herself a new arse recently, literally.

    Lastly, I also noticed that a large number of people on it are 18.

    In a small country where the display of porn is considered obscene and is censored, I really can't imagine that OF wont be regulated heavily in the medium term. Imo it wont stand that Irish 17 year olds are let be groomed to produce and distribute hardcore porn the day they hit 18.


    So many on there are 12-17 with fake IDs to sign up, a bbc investigation reported, OF's take no responsibility though.

    It's a bit like entering an adult website it simply asks, ''are you 18 or over'' click, and they are legally covered, even though we all know every teenager with a smart phone is looking at those site.

    Wasn't there a guy on Claire Byrne lately, and he said he was making 30k a month, an ex barber, now aka Thomas The **** Engine.
    I guess if he can do it the OP could be.

    Right. It's also impossible to know the status of the person too, whether they're coerced, whether a 'pimp' is involved, whether they're trafficked etc (these are all issues for cam sites and no doubt for OF too). The liability for distribution of illegal material lies with the uploader currently but OF and Snapchat will have to take responsibility for all of this stuff before long. I don't see it lasting from the platform side.

    Maybe licenses will be required to make porn? Mandatory health screenings like in the US given that many accounts do involve hardcore porn? But if this happens OF will lose the standing it has in its current social grey area, i.e., the vibe surrounding OF is that it's a harmless way to make some extra money, but if you were to rightly call the high earners professional porn stars, and if they required a production license + health screenings then a lot wouldn't enter the space.

    so she's not making what she said she is , if she's trying to drum up attention on boards

    " irish girl on onlyfans " like it or not , people would sign up to see if they know her etc or just the novelty of an irish bird on it
