Which websites did you use to charge customers?
I tried some well-known platforms
- Patreon: Allows you to create an account without providing much information, but after a few days, when they realize you're selling NSFW content, they ask for verification and documents.
- Fanvue: It was the only one that really worked... I managed to create and maintain the account without much data verification. However, I saw some reports online about the platform not passing subscription funds to creators. That's where I got my only subscriber.
- OnlyFans: Requires identity verification right away, so it's not viable for an AI model.
- I tried some platforms to receive donations, such as pay links via Stripe and Koofi. The problem with Stripe is that you need to provide a lot of personal information, and this makes me somewhat concerned that the person on the other end could track me. Koofi helps a bit by being another intermediary in the process, but ultimately ends up using Stripe data.
Anyway... in the end, I couldn't find a truly easy and anonymous way to charge other than through a platform like Fanvue. Many people talk about receiving payments via cryptocurrencies, but the target audience for this type of content is not very familiar with this type of payment and would face difficulties in making the payment when in fact the ideal would be to make it as easy as possible to convert more subscribers.
Right now, due to all these obstacles, I'm stuck with a ton of content I can't use or convert into anything monetizable. I have hundreds of photos and videos I've produced, but I can't use.
As I said, the biggest problem so far is avoiding social media bans. What really intrigues me is that I've come across several accounts (both AI models and real women) posting even explicit content (a reel recently appeared on my feed of a woman with her breasts completely exposed), and these accounts aren't banned, and they even have thousands of followers. How do they do it?
I feel like I have a gold mine on my hands, but I need to figure out how to solve these two problems: account bans and an easy way (without many steps/processes) to receive payments anonymously.
