A woman who sells photographs of herself in her lingerie has made makes nearly £3,000 a month by selling the selfies online.

Lottie Miles, 23, a former care worker from Cannock, Staffordshire, was searching for a new job when she came across online subscription service OnlyFans.

So far, she has made more than £5,000 over the space of two months from taking selfies in her bedroom and selling them to her fans.

She now has more than 150 men following her on the site.


Lottie said: ‘Since I made my account and started posting in January this year, I’ve made $7,400 in total.

‘When you sell your pictures, a statement gets sent to you with a breakdown into subscriptions, tips and messages from fans.

‘I never intended on this being long term, it was only temporary until I got a new job as I needed some money to tide me over.

‘Now though, I upload every day.

Care worker Lottie was seeking a new job when she came across the website OnlyFans (Picture: Michael Scott/Mercury Press) ‘It’s pretty much a full time job.

‘The timings are so flexible, I post throughout the day, usually with content that has been taken in advance. Sometimes I’ll take a photo and upload it instantly.’

The site allows users to charge fans between $5 (£3.76) and $49.99 (£37.56) to see each image, with creators receiving an 80% share of any revenue generated.

Lottie, whose parents know about her job, insists that despite her sometimes sexual photos she doesn’t feel concerned about who is buying them, nor does she fear she might be preyed on by older men.

Lottie said: ‘Some fans remain anonymous with a randomly generated username but a lot of people use profile pictures and their names.

(Picture: Michael Scott/Mercury Press) ‘I don’t know of any older men that follow me – a lot of the messages I get are nice, people just want to compliment me.

‘Initially I posted the images to my Instagram page, but hid certain posts from most of my family.

‘But someone who works at my dad’s local pub subscribed to me, and a few of the younger guys mentioned it.

‘Our family friend, who runs the pub, found out and told my dad.

‘He told my mum, but she already knew.

Lottie’s making such good money with her underwear pics that this short-term gig has ended up being something more permanent (Picture: Mercury Press) ‘He was more concerned than anything, my mum was concerned at first too, but she’s more relaxed now – and my gran even supports it.’

Lottie, who also currently volunteers part-time, is taking every day as it comes and does not rule out her new hobby as a career.



She added: ‘I’ve been approached to do some modelling work but that’s never really taken off.

‘If the opportunity is there, I would take it.’
