  • Kaylen Ward Asks $ 10 for Each Nude Photo of Her to Raise Funds for Australia Fires

" I am going to send nude photos of myself to every person who makes a donation of at least $ 10 to a firefighting foundation in Australia." Last January, the American model Kaylen Ward, who presents herself as "The Naked Philanthropist," managed to raise half a million dollars for the ecological tragedy in the southern hemisphere, according to herself on her social networks. Ward used his experience in the business of monetizing his body through his Instagram account and, above all, OnlyFans. The latter, created in 2016 as a platform for premium pornographic content, has experienced a spectacular rise during world confinement due to Covid-19.

"Subscribe to my OnlyFans" followed by a link has become one of the most common phrases on social networks these days. The actress Apolonia Lapiedra or Jacobo Ostos (son of the bullfighter Jaime Ostos) are some of those who recently announced their move to this subscription service. Even Beyoncé talks about it in her latest song, Savage, a cover of a hit by Megan Thee Stallion.

The operation of OnlyFans is a hybrid between Instagram (where most of the creators of its content come from) and 'webcam' porn. In the latter, users chat with pornographic actors or actresses while they perform sexual acts, satisfy their requirements and receive tips for it.

The impact of free pornography through sites such as PornHub or XVideos considerably reduced the investment of adult audiovisual content studios, so many pornstars had to earn a living by prostituting themselves. This new form of virtual prostitution for fans only, more explicit than advertising beauty products in Instagram posts, is rebalancing the business, say publications like 'Wired' and 'The New York Times'. And even more: it is attracting 'influencers' and protagonists of 'realities' to this new way of monetizing its fame.

OnlyFans has nearly 30 million users, of which approximately 1% are content generators . This ranges from 'soft' and slightly erotic content to 'hardcore' performances. Subscribers usually pay between 5 and 20 euros a month , although the amounts can go up if tips and special requirements are included. In exchange for their contribution, they will receive congratulations on their birthdays, exclusive gifts and unusual interactions for the coldness of contemporary pornography.

The business is buoyant: the 'onlyfaner' - let's coin this term here and now, without fear - Dannii Hardwood became the first British woman to reach the million pounds raised by this means in March . This has encouraged a large number of people idle because of the quarantine, but also professionals from other areas, such as physical trainers or cooks, who until then shared their skills through social media without receiving more compensation than "visibility " An 'influencer' of medium grade can bill between 8,000 and 10,000 euros per month if he gets it right. That is: if you frequently interact with your sponsors, you wisely dose the content and have a comforting and comforting hand in difficult times.

Tim Stokely

The Mark Zuckerberg of 'porn'

Until a few days ago, when his LinkedIn account disappeared, Timothy Stokely was one of the model profiles for young digital entrepreneurs. This 36-year-old Briton founded GlamGirls in 2011, which he soon converted to Customs4U, the seed of the future OnlyFans. Through parent company Fenix, Stokely boasts of having shared nearly $ 800 million among its content generators. These generally receive 80% of the subscription money, while Fenix ​​keeps 12%.

"It's a much simpler and more lucrative way to monetize your influence," Stokely explained to 'Wired,' comparing his system to promotional activities with brands. Because, Stokely proclaims, "the 'influencers' of social networks are the new celebrities."
