One of my biggest challenges as a creator has honestly been consistency. Posting regularly sounds simple until you realize you have to come up with fresh ideas every single day. My natural instinct is to find something that works and repeat it forever. I’m the kind of person who, if a joke lands once, wants to use it for the next ten years. So learning to expand creatively instead of being beautifully redundant was… character building.

There were days I’d sit there thinking, “Okay, what am I posting today that isn’t just yesterday in a different outfit?” Finding the time, the energy, and the creativity all at once can feel like a full-time job on top of the actual full-time job. People think content creation is just turning on a camera and being cute. It’s actually planning, filming, editing, engaging, posting, and then doing it all again tomorrow. It’s like being your own production studio, marketing team, and customer service department… with better lighting.

Because my brain doesn’t naturally wake up bursting with new ideas every morning, I had to train myself to look at everyday life as content. That was a huge shift. Instead of waiting for inspiration to hit me like lightning, I had to go out and create it. Some days that meant trying new concepts. Some days it meant pushing past the comfort zone. And some days it meant accepting that not everything is going to be a masterpiece. Consistency beats perfection. That was a hard lesson, but a necessary one.

A pivotal moment for me was when COVID hit. The world slowed down, everything felt uncertain, and suddenly OnlyFans became more than just a platform. It became stability. During a time when so many industries were struggling, it helped keep a roof over my head and gave me a sense of control in a very unpredictable world. Seeing my income increase during such a difficult global moment was eye-opening. It made me realize how impactful this space was, not just for me, but for so many creators who needed a way to support themselves when everything else paused.

That period really shifted my mindset. It went from “I’m trying this out” to “This is something real that deserves my full effort.” I became more disciplined, more intentional, and more grateful for the opportunities it created. It motivated me to treat content creation like a business and a creative outlet at the same time. It also made me appreciate the community behind it. There were people supporting me during a global crisis, and that’s something you don’t take lightly.

Looking back, the challenges around consistency and creativity actually shaped me into a better creator. They forced me to grow, to experiment, and to stop waiting for perfect ideas. And that pivotal moment during COVID reminded me how powerful and life-changing this platform could be. Sometimes pressure and uncertainty push you to step up in ways you didn’t expect. For me, it turned a side venture into something that truly supported my life and direction as a creator.
