I Made Money on OnlyFans Without Showing My Face: What Worked For Me

I was scared to start. I didn’t want my face online. But I still wanted to try OnlyFans. So I did it faceless. And yes, I made real money.

Here’s the short version: Month 1 I made $327. Month 2 hit $842. Month 3 reached $1,284. After six months, I leveled out at about $1,100 a month, working 6–8 hours a week. Not rich. But real.

Let me explain what I did, what flopped, and how I stayed private.

My Setup: Keep It Simple, Keep It Safe

I used a stage name. New email. Two-factor login. No face, no names, no tattoos in frame. I wore a fox mask and sometimes gloves. I also:

• Shot on my iPhone with a $30 ring light.
• Edited with CapCut and Canva Pro.
• Cropped out backgrounds. Blank wall is your best friend.
• Watermarked my username on every post.
• Turned off photo metadata before posting.
• Used a PO box for any mail talk. But I mostly said no to gifts.

You know what? That little ring light fell over twice in one week. I taped the stand to a shoe box. Not fancy. It worked.

For anyone wanting an extra privacy checklist before launching, this step-by-step rundown from OnlyNews dives deep into staying anonymous while still earning: read the full guide.

What I Posted (Face-Free)

I tested a lot. Some ideas were cute but made no money. These ones paid my bills.

1) Hands-Only How-To Clips

I did nail care, easy latte art, and quick craft kits. Just my hands and tools. No face or voice. I sold:

• A “Sunday Nail Prep” pack (5 short clips) for $6 via pay-per-view (PPV).
• A “Latte at Home” mini series for $8 PPV.

These did great on slow weeks. Folks love little wins they can copy.

2) Voice-Only Guides

I recorded short audio guides. Stretching for tight hips. Calm bedtime talk. Light ASMR with paper sounds. No swearing. No heavy stuff. I sold a 20-minute “Sleep Wind-Down” as a $7 PPV. I gave a 30-second preview so fans knew the vibe.

Side note: I recorded in my closet. Clothes make great sound walls.

3) Masked Cosplay, Full Body But Safe

I wore a fox mask with simple outfits. I posed with props. Think mystery, not shock. I kept it clean. Weekly themes helped: forest, neon, rainy day. I’d tease one photo on my wall, then sell a bundle of 10 in DMs for $9–$12 PPV.

4) Text Posts and PDFs

This surprised me. I wrote “Sunday meal prep” plans, skin care checklists, and a “7-Day Cozy Reset.” I sold the PDF for $9. My DMs lit up on Sundays. People asked questions. I kept answers short and kind.

5) POV Workouts (Neck Down)

I filmed quick sets: 5-minute stretch, 10-minute glute work, low impact moves. Waist-down or shoulder-down angles, with my mask on. I posted 3 clips a week, then sold a “Week 1 Plan” bundle at $10 PPV.

I stayed within my lines. No face. No risky poses. If a request felt off, I said no, then blocked if needed. The Block button is a gift.

Prices That Didn’t Make People Mad

• Sub price: I started at $9.99. After month 2, I changed to $6.99. Odd, I know. But that drop brought more subs, which made more PPV sales. So overall, I made more.
• PPV range: $3–$12. Most of my sales hit at $6–$9.
• Bundles: 3-month sub at 10% off; 6 months at 25% off.
• Free trials: 7-day links on promo posts. Trials turned into paid at about 21% for me.

My welcome DM was simple: “Hey! Thanks for being here. This week’s bundle is $7. Want it?” Then I left it alone. No spam storms.

How I Stayed Anonymous

• Mask on. Hair up. Neutral tops. Simple bottoms.
• No mirrors. No windows. No landmarks.
• I used the same backdrop every time.
• I covered birthmarks and rings.
• I never shared my city or job.
• I made a “boundary” post on day one. It said: 18+ only, no face, no meetups, no personal info, no off-platform chat. Clear rules feel safe. And they scare off pushy folks.

Where I Got Fans Without Showing My Face

I kept promo PG and chill. I used:

• Twitter/X: Teasers with my masked look. Short clips, 6–10 seconds. Always watermarked. I posted 4 times a week. I pinned one post with my link.
• Reddit: I hung out in advice spaces and faceless threads. I didn’t spam. I shared tips, then posted a teaser once in a while.
• Link hubs: I used Beacons for one clean link page. Super easy to swap links if a site got weird.
• Localized ad boards: If you’re open to placing discreet promos where adults are already browsing for new creators, submitting masked teaser ads to CityXGuide can widen your reach—it lets you tap into a built-in audience actively searching for fresh entertainers and funnel those warm leads straight to your OnlyFans page.

Another localized board that punched above its weight for me was a Backpage-style classifieds hub serving Midwest readers. Dropping a short masked teaser on OneNightAffair’s Backpage Zanesville board put my link in front of adults actively browsing for discreet connections, so the clicks it generated converted to subs at a noticeably higher rate than broader social channels.

I never posted full content for free. Just small tastes that made people curious.

What Flopped (So You Can Skip It)

• $20 PPVs. Too high for my lane. Refund requests went up.
• Posting at 2 a.m. My followers were U.S. daytime. I had to learn that.
• Open DMs 24/7. It drained me. I added “DM hours: 9–5 M–F.” People respected it, shockingly.

Time, Costs, and Real Numbers

• Time spent: 6–8 hours a week. 3 days posting, 2 short edit blocks, 1 DM block.
• Costs: Fox mask $18, ring light $30, gloves $6, Canva Pro $13/month. That’s it.
• Earnings:
  • Month 1: $327
  • Month 2: $842
  • Month 3: $1,284
  • Months 4–6: around $1,100/month
• Split: Tips ~15%, subs ~45%, PPV ~40%. That mix felt steady.
• Refunds: Low. Clear previews helped.

I’m not saying it’s easy. But it was steady once I built a groove.

A One-Week Starter Plan (Faceless)

• Day 1: Make a stage name. New email. Turn on two-factor. Write your boundary post.
• Day 2: Pick 2 content lanes. For example: hands-only how-tos + voice-only guides.
• Day 3: Film 6 short clips and 10 photos on a blank wall. Edit. Watermark all.
• Day 4: Set your sub price. Draft your welcome DM. Schedule 3 posts for the week.
• Day 5: Create one $6–$9 PPV bundle (5–8 items). Make a 10-second teaser.
• Day 6: Open a promo account on Twitter/X. Post 2 teasers. Pin one post with your link.
• Day 7: Go live with a calm pace. Post, DM your welcome, and log off.

Repeat. Keep notes. Adjust each week.

Safety and Sanity

• Never share your face if you don’t want to. Ever.
• Don’t give your number, work place, or school. No private platforms.
• Block fast. Mute words you don’t want to see.
• Hydrate. Stretch. Take one day off a week. Burnout shows on camera, even if your face doesn’t.

My Verdict

Can you make money on OnlyFans without showing your face? Yes. I did.
