I'm a mum-of-4 and I was struggling on Universal Credit – now I make £10k-a-month from my side hustle & I bought a house | The Sun

A MUM-of-four who was on benefits is now making £10k a month thanks to her new side-hustle.

Libby Ella, 29, was struggling to make ends meet on Universal Credit before deciding to earn money a different way.


Libby started an OnlyFans page and claims she now makes up to £120k a year.

This allows her to live in comfort, buying a five-bed house, a Mercedes-Benz and European holidays.

But the mum-of-four, says she feels like she has an alter ego since her new life began.

Libby, from Exeter, said: "I live in a five-bed house, I've got a Mercedes and I take the summer off.

"Last summer I took the kids to Greece and then Turkey, I buy them nice things and buy myself nice things too.

"But I don't talk about kids or home life to customers, and I don't talk about work to the kids."

She added: "I spend my days normally in leggings and a hoodie, but when I'm in work mode it's all sexy underwear, heels and being glam.

"I feel like I live a double life – like Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana."

Libby previously worked as a travel agent before she became a mum and stopped working to look after her children.

Universal Credit wasn't enough to cover her costs and she found she was struggling to make ends meet.

But she started webcamming and using OnlyFans in 2019 and her page quickly took off.

And she even ended up in the top 6% of OnlyFans creators after just one month.

She came off benefits and went from making £1k per month to £10k – but says it's harder than a lot of people think.

However, she says making adult content keeps her life exciting and helped her go from being quiet and shy to super confident.

Despite trolls on TikTok and Instagram – where she posts as @libby.ellaxo – asking if 'her parents are proud', she says it doesn't bother her at all – and that she's proud of her job.

"It is something I want to keep separate, there is chance of my kids finding out, but I do try and keep it as separate as possible," said Libby.

"You can be seen as an object when men are just paying to see pictures and videos and calling you sexy.

"Keeping it separate helps me feel like I'm not just an object or something to look at.

"I was a mum on benefits and struggling with money and now I make up to £10k a month."

She added: "I love it, but it is hard work – it's harder than a lot of people think.

"You're a bit like a therapist to your customers, they tell you about their lives and come for a chat more than the photos.

"I like it, it keeps my life exciting – when you become a mum it can be boring and you can lose yourself, but this keeps me like a single person that hasn't got children so it keeps things exciting."

It comes as a woman revealed how she made £30k through an easy side hustle without leaving her house.
