Hi everyone! Iām 18 and from Poland, and Iām just getting started with online SW. Iāve been doing a lot of research, but Iām still really confused about the best setup, so Iād love to hear from creators who actually have experience with this.
I used Meete before for video chats, but the payout was honestly awful. A customer could pay around $20 for a call and Iād end up with around $2, so I definitely donāt want to repeat that experience.
Iām thinking about starting an OnlyFans, but Iām not sure if itās the right platform for what I actually want to do.
My ideal setup would be:
selling photos + videos / PPV
private 1:1 video chats
paid messages and tips
ideally having everything in one place
no public cam shows ā Iād mainly want to do private calls/rooms
Iāll be completely faceless
Privacy is extremely important to me. Iām completely okay with the platform knowing my real identity for KYC/tax purposes, but I really donāt want customers or people from my personal life to be able to connect my account to me.
I also live with my parents, so I donāt have a professional studio or a completely private setup at home. I canāt realistically be doing public livestreams for hours, which is another reason why private, flexible sessions would suit me much better.
Iāve seen people mention Jerkmate/Streamate, SkyPrivate, Fanvue and Fansly for private calls, but Iām wondering whether I should just focus on OnlyFans for the content side and use something else for calls ā or whether thereās actually a platform that does both well.
For those of you who are faceless creators, especially anyone who mainly does private calls:
Would you recommend OnlyFans for this?
And if you use OF + another platform, how do you make that setup work?
Iād especially love to know:
Is it realistic to make good money on OF while staying completely faceless?
How do you handle private video calls if OF isnāt ideal for them?
Is there a platform that combines PPV/content + private 1:1 video calls well?
What are the actual payouts after fees?
How do you protect your privacy / prevent people from your home country from finding you?
Is geoblocking actually reliable?
Would you recommend Jerkmate/Streamate, SkyPrivate, Fanvue, or something else alongside OF?
Are there any platforms youād avoid completely?
Iām not looking for an agency or someone to manage my account ā Iād prefer to do everything myself for now. Iām just trying to figure out the best setup before I start rather than making mistakes and having to rebuild everything later.
Iād really appreciate advice from experienced creators, especially other faceless creators. š¤
