"I Invest in Real Estate, Crypto, and Stocks" — An Interview with OnlyFans Model AISULTANA
Content about OnlyFans always sparks mixed reactions within the affiliate community, yet the business continues to attract more solo models and new agencies. These days, breaking through on the platform solo is increasingly difficult due to million-strong competition.
Today, Palai's guest is model Ruslana Krețu. We talked about restrictions, monthly profit, diversification, and future plans.
Hi! Tell us a little about yourself — let's introduce you to our readers.
Hi, my nickname is AISULTANA, and I've been successfully working with OnlyFans for the past 5 years :)

How did you get into running a page on OnlyFans?
In 2020, I was working as a pharmacist at a military unit, and at some point I realized that wasn't going to give me what I wanted. So I started growing my Instagram and TikTok. One day I received a job offer related to OnlyFans, and I've been creating content for 4 years now.

Are you currently in Ukraine or abroad?
Most of the time I'm abroad, though I regularly come back to Ukraine to visit family. I've lived in Europe — France, Italy, Germany. This winter I'm planning to go to Bali, same as last year. I also want to travel around Japan. The job gives me the freedom to travel wherever I want.

OnlyFans 2024 — What Is It Like?
What has changed on OnlyFans over the past few years?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people were looking for new income streams, OnlyFans experienced a massive boom. The number of users and content creators surged. Another change I've noticed is the variety of content. Before, creators were mostly 18+ models — now there are tons of creative people sharing music, artwork, and more.

According to the stats, the platform now has approximately 2 million creators. Is it unrealistic for a newcomer to break through without a clear concept and budget?
There used to be chances. Now, without the help of specialists, initial investment, and a strategy — the window of opportunity is very narrow. I recommend focusing on finding an agency you can work with long-term and happily.

Do you know anyone who managed to blow up quickly on OnlyFans?
No one close to me, but I closely follow the top creators in the industry. I'm always happy when new faces appear. It's great!

How much time and money does it take for a beginner model to reach a stable income of $2,000–3,000?
It all depends on the model and her work ethic. On average — up to six months.

Have you ever encountered any kind of restrictions on the platform?
There are plenty of restrictions, and one could talk about them for a long time.

Is the Ukraine GEO blocked in your account? If so, why?
In Ukraine, the creation and distribution of erotic content is prohibited, so I don't create content targeting Ukraine. I live and work abroad, so these restrictions don't apply to me.

Do you get a lot of haters? How do you deal with it?
I do have haters, like in any field, but that doesn't mean they affect my work. At some point it used to get to me, but not anymore. Maybe because there are far fewer of them now.

Tell us about some cringe-worthy moment with a fan on the platform.
Once, a user on the platform — one of my subscribers — asked me to film a custom video involving a Bible. I won't go into details, but it's the strangest request I've ever received.

Driving Traffic to OnlyFans
What user acquisition channels do you use? How is the funnel structured?
I use both organic traffic from all available social media platforms and paid traffic. I'd rather not share the details.

As we understand it, your main traffic source is YouTube. How did you manage to gain 154,000 followers in less than six months?
I work with a top-tier agency :)

Do you track how many users come from YouTube to OnlyFans each month? What about other traffic sources?
I track all traffic sources and detailed data for each of them: country, age, payment amounts. Without that, scaling is nearly impossible.

What about TikTok? How often do accounts get banned?
TikTok isn't a priority right now — with the new algorithms, videos don't go organic anymore, you have to build everything from scratch. We're testing paid promotion, but no details yet.

In your opinion, what's the most effective channel for driving users to OnlyFans?
It's all about a comprehensive approach. You can't rely solely on Instagram — you need to work across all channels.

OnlyFans — a money-printing button?
There are a lot of myths around OnlyFans, but the biggest one is that it's easy money. You post some nude photos, wealthy guys shower you with cash, profit. What do you say to that?
OnlyFans, like anything else, requires work. It's not a magic wand that brings in a pile of money. You need to create content every single day and figure out how to hook those «wealthy guys» and stay interesting. If you want great results — you have to put in a lot of work.

What's the total cut you lose to fees? The platform commission and payment processors.
The platform takes 20%, payment processors from 2%. Overall, I lose quite a lot.

How long did it take to reach this financial milestone? Were there any dips along the way?
Of course, there were different situations depending on the season and other factors. From the very start I was already earning well, because I began working with an agency right away.

Which countries are your highest-paying clients from?
The US is at the top. As it has been before, and most likely will remain in the future.

Is OnlyFans a business for you, or a temporary startup?
A business, absolutely! I want to expand, build an ecosystem around my own brand. Scaling, merch for fans, consulting for other models — there's still so much to be done.

How do your family and friends feel about your work on OnlyFans?
Friends and family are supportive. In the beginning, my boyfriend was very encouraging, and he still helps with content creation. My parents are also fine with it, although I'm not sure they fully understand what I do.

What do you think about the delays in decriminalizing OnlyFans in Ukraine, given that the platform paid $1.3 million into the state budget in 2023?
That's not great, to say the least :) I believe everyone should have equal opportunities and rights. Paying taxes is normal and the right thing to do, and it would be wonderful if everyone respected one another.

5-Year Plans
Will you still be earning on OnlyFans in 5 years?
In 5 years, I plan to earn 10 times more than I do now.

If OnlyFans suddenly disappeared, what would you do?
I don't just spend money on travel in this life. I invest a lot, look at other projects, try different roles. Let me put it this way: if OnlyFans suddenly disappeared, I'd definitely have plenty to keep me busy.
I invest in real estate, crypto, and stocks.
