CO-HOST | Make Money by NOT Blowing it on OnlyFans

from Travis Makes Money · host Travis Chappell

On this episode, Travis is joined in studio by his producer Eric for a candid breakdown of the exploding OnlyFans economy, why Californians are leading the charge in spending, and what all of this reveals about our relationship with money and loneliness. Together they mix data, dark humor, and real‑talk money advice to challenge how much you are blowing on subscriptions that do nothing for your long‑term wealth or relationships. On this episode we talk about: How Californians spent over $350 million on OnlyFans in 2025 and why that number is “light” compared to what people imagine. Which cities and states are the biggest OnlyFans spenders per capita and why Utah keeps showing up in adult‑industry data. How the creator side became a billion‑dollar industry with over a million U.S. creators and a tiny handful making most of the money. The psychological trap of thinking you have a “relationship” with creators, paywalled DMs, and AI/agency chat replies. Practical guidelines for how much of your income you should (and shouldn’t) be spending on platforms like OnlyFans if you actually want to build wealth. Top 3 Takeaways If you are already in debt, spending hundreds a month on OnlyFans is not “self‑care,” it is sabotage to your financial future. The average OnlyFans creator makes very little, so chasing top‑1% creator money in that space comes with huge trade‑offs for your reputation and long‑term options. You will not buy your way out of loneliness with parasocial online “relationships”; money does a lot more for you when it is in your bank account than when it is in someone else’s tip jar. Notable Quotes “Stop spending money on dumb shit all the time, because it is just not worth it.” “You feel like you have this quasi‑relationship because you sent her $24,000 over three years—but you don’t, bro.” “Money only solves money problems, but it is easier to solve problems with money in the bank than with a stack of OnlyFans receipts.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️ 🚀 Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. 🚀 Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. 🎁 Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.
