    Managing OnlyFans Colombia Accounts - Eleonora's Story

    Managing OnlyFans Colombia Accounts - Eleonora's Story

    “It’s not webcam, it’s porn”, says Eleonora Tamayo a general manager at DMA, a booming OnlyFans management company in Medellin. She joins us on this episode to talk about the business of OnlyFans in Colombia and why it’s appealing to so many women. She claims that one of their models made a whopping $87,000 USD in one month.

    The OnlyFans website claims that models can earn anywhere between $1,499 to $7495 per month, based on an estimate of between 1% and 5% of their followers subscribing to their account. Imagine how appealing that is in Colombia where the minimum wage is currently about $265 per month.

    Elenora says that we have to think about Only Fans like any other social media platform. The aim is to gain followers, and in order to gain followers, you need content and marketing. This is where Elenora and her team come in. They create strategies, edit videos, and do a whole lot more for the models whose accounts they manage.

    The majority of the models they manage used to be webcam models. Many of them moved to the Only Fans platform after realizing that the content they create can continue to sell inevitably. Whereas, a webcam model needs to be in front of the camera to make money.

    Listen to the full podcast as Eleonora tells us how OnlyFans works, how to make money on OnlyFans, and her advice to anyone who wants to get into the business.

    Scopolamine victim speaks out after being drugged & robbed in Medellin

Nothing out of the ordinary - No red flags! Yet, he still ended up being another victim to be drugged with scopolamine and robbed while on a date.

    The moral of Omer's story - NO ONE is immune to being victimized by organized criminals who methodically prey on, then drug their victims with scopolamine. It could even happen to you.

    After having time to reflect and think about about how everything went down, Omer has some tips for anyone who plans on taking a shot at dating in Colombia.

    Listen to the complete episode to hear Omer's Story and the questions from our studio audience at the end.
