The foot content niche represents one of the most sought-after anonymous niches on creator platforms. Comparing foot salaries between OnlyFans and MYM requires examining the commissions charged, the size of the accessible audience, and the actual revenue distribution in this segment. The differences between the two platforms are not limited to a simple percentage of commission.
Foot Revenue Distribution: What Faceless Creators Really Earn
General articles often cite the average overall income of OnlyFans, around $130 to $180 per month. This figure masks the reality of the foot segment, where the distribution is very different.
For faceless creators specializing in feet, about 54% earn less than $500 per month. One third falls between $500 and $2,499 monthly. Only a minority exceeds $2,500 per month.
This data, drawn from analyses of anonymous creators, shows that the foot niche is not a segment where the majority generates comfortable income. The question of foot salaries on OnlyFans or MYM therefore depends as much on the creator’s positioning as on the chosen platform.
In contrast, when considering all faceless creators (across all anonymous niches), the most common income range rises to $1,000 to $2,500 per month. Nearly 21% of respondents report earning over $10,000 monthly, but this figure includes niches well beyond just feet.
OnlyFans and MYM Commissions: Concrete Impact on Creator Net Earnings
The commission is the primary lever that separates the two platforms. The table below compares what a creator keeps from the same gross amount.
| Criteria | OnlyFans | MYM |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription Commission | 20% | 25% |
| Media/PPV Commission | 20% | 20% + 7% banking fees |
| Net on €5,000 gross | ~€4,000 | ~€3,400 to €3,550 |
| Audience | International (220M+ users) | Francophone (500K+ creators) |
| French Interface | No | Yes |
| Internal Search | Limited | Yes |
On €5,000 of gross revenue, a creator keeps about €4,000 on OnlyFans compared to €3,400 to €3,550 on MYM. The gap comes from the higher subscription rate on MYM (25% versus 20%) and the additional 7% banking fees on media sales.
For a foot creator who sells a lot of unit content (photos, PPV videos), the 7% banking fees on MYM add up. In contrast, a creator who primarily operates through monthly subscriptions sees the gap reduced to the difference between 20% and 25%.
Francophone or International Audience: Which Pool for Selling Foot Photos
OnlyFans generated $7.22 billion in gross revenue in 2024, with over 220 million users. MYM, founded in Lyon, reached €105 million the same year. The size ratio is unambiguous.
For a foot creator, this audience difference has direct consequences:
- On OnlyFans, the pool of potential buyers is massive, but the competition among creators is also significant. Without active external promotion (social media, Reddit, Twitter), visibility remains low as internal search is very limited.
- On MYM, the audience is more restricted, but the platform offers a real internal search function. A francophone creator can be discovered without a complex promotion strategy.
- Foot content has the advantage of being visually universal: no language barrier. A MYM creator who only posts foot photos loses access to an English-speaking audience willing to pay.
The top 1% of OnlyFans creators captures 33% of the platform’s total revenue. This concentration means that the majority of foot creators, even on a giant platform, remain in the lower income brackets.
Income Declaration and VAT: Obligations for Foot Creators in France
Selling foot photos or videos constitutes a commercial activity. Any creator residing in France must declare their income, whether it comes from OnlyFans or MYM.
Creating a business (micro-enterprise or company) is mandatory from the first euro earned. Income received through these platforms is subject to income tax and social contributions.
The question of VAT arises beyond the thresholds for exemption. OnlyFans, based in the UK, pays creators in pounds or dollars, which adds a layer of complexity for declaration. MYM, a French platform, simplifies administrative procedures with payments in euros and clearer tax compliance for a French creator.
Dual Platform Strategy: Publishing on OnlyFans and MYM Simultaneously
Neither platform imposes exclusivity. Publishing on both increases the audience pool at no additional cost. The most profitable strategy for a foot creator is to use OnlyFans to capture the international audience and MYM for the francophone market.
Foot content lends itself particularly well to this approach: the same photos and videos can be published on both platforms without linguistic adaptation. The additional management time remains limited compared to the potential audience gain.
Data shows that between the lower commission of OnlyFans and the target audience of MYM, the choice is not binary. The majority of foot creators who exceed $2,500 monthly combine multiple distribution channels rather than betting on a single platform.
