A former joiner who swapped building houses for building an OnlyFans career says her income and confidence have soared, but her love life has been stuck on pause for five years.
Samantha, from Aberdeen, Scotland, used to work as a carpenter for a big company constructing new homes.
She decided to take a chance on content creation in October 2021 while still working as an apprentice.

“I was already doing sales for a couple private clients but it wasn’t consistent,” Samantha told NudeNewz.
“After speaking to some of the guys at work they were saying I should just go for it and start OnlyFans so I did.
“Money was the initial drive for me but I love what I do now!”
Samantha says the move has completely changed her life, giving her stability she never had before.
“I’m a much happier and more confident girl though, I think the industry has done a lot of good for me,” she said.
“I used to always struggle with money as well and now I’m in a much better position where I can enjoy life without worrying.”
But while work is booming, she says dating has become a nightmare.
“I’ve been single for five years because it’s just so hard to find men that are accepting but not overly keen,” she said.
“So I’m a lot busier which makes it harder to keep up with relationships but I try my best!”
Samantha describes herself as the “real girl next door”, and says that honesty is exactly what her subscribers like.
“A real girl next door,” she said.
“I aim for girl next door but not the fake girl next door.
“I’m a real girl, I have real sex, I’ve only got a little bit of lip filler which I’m open about, I don’t edit my pictures or fake orgasms.
“I want to keep things as real as possible!”
She says she also prides herself on being direct with fans.
“I’m very open and honest with my fans too,” she added.
Samantha says the experience she offers is built around accessibility, rather than an untouchable “pornstar” image.
“I want them to get the real experience,” she said.
“I want them to be able to talk to me directly.
“I want them to fantasise about a girl that seems more reachable than the big creators and stars that have the pornstar look.”
Despite the confident persona online, she says there are clear limits to what she will do.
“My boundaries are no anal and nothing illegal,” Samantha said.
Like many creators, she has also received some unusual requests in her DMs, including one that involved 20 jars of mayonnaise.
“Well actually maybe dumping a bucket of 20 jars of mayo on my head was a little wild!” she said.
“Giantess fetish where he wanted me to talk about drowning him in my bath etc.
“Farting videos too!”
When it came to telling her family, Samantha says they were not thrilled at first, but accepted it because she is happy.
“So obviously it’s not the career my family would’ve picked for me but they’re happy if I’m happy,” she said.
“As long as I don’t sell my soul is what I was told, so as long as I’m comfortable with what I do!”
She now encourages anyone thinking of joining the industry to be cautious and go in with boundaries.
“I wouldn’t advise jumping into this when you’re really young, try other ways of life first as it’s hard to go backwards,” Samantha said.
“Make sure you enjoy what you do because if you don’t it will take a massive toll on your mental health.”
Looking ahead, Samantha says she is focused on building long-term security.
“I just recently got my foot in the door with production shoots so plan is to really start smashing it with those,” she said.
“Build my savings, maybe start looking at property investment myself as that was always the long term plan.
“Snap up all the opportunities I can and just enjoy it!”
And while fans might think she is loud and confident, she says the truth is the complete opposite.
“Maybe that I’m super shy and a bit of an introvert, especially with groups of people,” Samantha added.
From working on building sites to building a career online, she says she has found freedom, confidence and financial security.
She just hopes her future love life catches up.
