‘I earn £10k a month on OnlyFans, it feels like I live a double life’

Libby Ella, a 29-year-old mum-of-four, has revealed that her life feels like a “double life” since she started earning £10k a month on OnlyFans, an adult content platform.

Struggling to make ends meet on Universal Credit, Libby turned to OnlyFans to supplement her income. To her surprise, her page quickly gained popularity, and she now claims to make up to £120k a year.

This newfound financial stability has allowed her to live a comfortable life, complete with a five-bedroom house, a Mercedes-Benz, and European holidays.

However, Libby admits she feels like she has an alter ego since embarking on her new career. While she enjoys the luxuries that come with her success, she keeps her personal life separate from her online persona.

Libby explained: “I don’t talk about kids or home life to customers, and I don’t talk about work to the kids.

“I spend my days normally in leggings and a hoodie, but when I’m in work mode it’s all sexy underwear, heels and being glam.

“I feel like I live a double life – like Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana.”

Before becoming a mother, Libby worked as a travel agent but eventually left her job to care for her children. However, relying solely on Universal Credit proved challenging, prompting her to explore webcamming and join OnlyFans in 2019. Within a month, she rose to become one of the top six percent of creators on the platform.

Transitioning from earning £1k to £10k per month was a significant change, but Libby said t is harder work than many people realise. Despite facing trolls on TikTok and Instagram, where she shares content as @libby.ellaxo, she remains unfazed and proud of her job.

While she acknowledges the potential risk of her children discovering her online presence, Libby strives to maintain a clear separation between her work and personal life. She believes keeping the two realms distinct helps her avoid feeling objectified.

She said: “You can be seen as an object when men are just paying to see pictures and videos and calling you sexy.

“Keeping it separate helps me feel like I’m not just an object or something to look at.”

Libby added: “I was a mum on benefits and struggling with money and now I make up to £10k a month. I love it, but it is hard work – it’s harder than a lot of people think.

“You’re a bit like a therapist to your customers, they tell you about their lives and come for a chat more than the photos. I like it, it keeps my life exciting – when you become a mum it can be boring and you can lose yourself, but this keeps me like a single person that hasn’t got children so it keeps things exciting.”
