“When I first started, I had everything ready and planned to launch May 1, but I was too scared!” explains Richmond, a former corporate manager in training and quality assurance, of her arrival into the industry. “It took me until May 7 to get my nerve up, so that’s why my one-year anniversary was May 7!”

As a midlife (50+) creator, she admits she was anxious about taking such a daring leap, but says, “The response has been overwhelmingly positive after one year at the top of the platform. To the handful of people I’ve encountered who still have a problem with it or don’t understand, I would say what seems scandalous and immoral to you is like someone watching me brush my teeth or straighten my hair to me.

“I don’t see sexual activity with my man as being wrong or dirty. It’s a part of life, and if I choose to let people watch that part of me, it shouldn’t be judged any differently than any other creator on the Internet with any other type of content.”

Richmond, whose stunning success has inspired a comprehensive coaching program for fledging OnlyFans models, CreatorSuccessCourse.net , says that she has no regrets about making her life-changing decision exactly one year ago.

“One year in, and if I had to do it all again - I ABSOLUTELY WOULD!” enthuses the entertainer, who sits among the 0.8% of OnlyFans creators. “The personal satisfaction and opportunities that this has brought me have been beyond my wildest dreams. I’m so very grateful!”
