Kelsey Stratford's Transition to OnlyFans
Former "The Only Way is Essex" star, Kelsey Stratford, has recently revealed significant earnings from the content subscription service OnlyFans. After her stint on the popular TV show, Stratford embarked on a new venture on OnlyFans, where she now reportedly earns about 50,000 pounds monthly. Her previous contract with Towie prohibited her from engaging with platforms like OnlyFans, but since her departure, she has found considerable financial success.
Economic Motivations and Moving to Dubai
The decision to join OnlyFans was also influenced by Stratford's desire to relocate to Dubai, which she attributed to a "very stressful home life." She reported a substantial income from the very first day on OnlyFans, describing the earnings as "crazy." This initial success enabled her quick move to Dubai, highlighting the platform's potential for immediate substantial earnings.
Addressing the Controversy
Despite her success, Stratford's move to OnlyFans was met with some controversy. Critics argued that her involvement in the subscription service, known for its adult content, was unbecoming of someone with her public persona from Towie. Nonetheless, Stratford has chosen to focus on the financial and personal benefits, disregarding the criticism.
Interest from Other Towie Cast Members
Stratford also mentioned that her transition has sparked interest among other Towie cast members, who have reached out to her for advice on starting their own OnlyFans careers. This indicates a growing trend among celebrities and reality TV stars leveraging their fame on direct-to-consumer platforms.
OnlyFans: A Platform for Diverse Content Creators
OnlyFans, based in London, has experienced substantial growth, amassing over 220 million registered users and more than three million content creators by 2023. While it is widely recognized for adult content, the platform also supports a wide array of creators including fitness trainers and musicians. Creators on OnlyFans receive 80% of the subscription fees, with the remaining 20% going to the platform. This model highlights a significant shift in how entertainers and artists monetize their followings and manage direct interactions with their audience.
