‘I wasn't even naked': Unique way 35-year-old makes money

You might think making X-rated content doesn't involve much creativity, but not the way Alix Lynx does it. Ms Lynx, 35, has been in the industry for a decade now, and she's found a pretty wild way to ensure that her work doesn't become stale. She's found an interesting niche online, creating what she describes as 'crazy custom' videos for men, and it's probably not what you're thinking. The 35-year-old does everything from role-playing as a magic genie to filming a video with self-effects so it looked like she was multiplying on screen. She's also done a video in which she spends the entire time pretending to be swallowed up by quicksand, and she's even gotten her snout involved. 'I once did a 20-minute custom video just measuring my nose. I wasn't even naked,' she told Ms Lynx explained that when people have a particular type of fantasy and request a really specific scenario, like pretending she's a genie, she often doesn't even have to take her clothes off. 'They don't care about the nudity. It is about the thing,' she said. 'I have had ballooning requests, a fetish where I had a guy send me balloons that are literally the size of a rocking chair, and I blew them all up in my living room, and I bounced on them, and that's it. There's no explicit content.' The creator explained that people are very specific with their preferences and requests when they're asking for tailored content. 'From armpit shots and muscle flexing to feet and niche outfit combinations,' she said. 'I truly consider what I do as art, and it's honestly probably the most personal, intimate thing you could request from someone. It's so unique that it's almost irreplaceable. You can't really put a price on that kind of experience.' Ms Lynx takes turning their fantasies into reality very seriously. She hires directors, rents locations, hires make-up artists and works hard to make the videos look as real as possible. 'I'm super flexible. I offer different payment options and plans and I try to give people multiple ways to be part of my world,' she said. One of the reasons Ms Lynx understands the power of visual content beyond just getting naked is her background. She left her first corporate job, where she was earning $25 an hour, in 2014, and from there, she made $500 a day doing webcam work and filming adult videos. Then around 2018 she started using a subscription service to create X-rated content and she's slowly but surely built up a dedicated following she's now making five figures a month. 'When people say 'overnight success takes ten years' I really relate to that. That is exactly how it has been for me,' she said. When it comes to pricing, Ms Lynx said it really 'depends' on what someone wants, arguing that just like a coffee, the price is worked out based on how complex the order is. 'How I actually set my prices, though, has a lot to do with intuition. I've been filming customs for over 10 years,' she said. 'I've been in this business a long time. I know what feels aligned, what feels right, like I'm not undercharging, but I'm also not overcharging. I genuinely spend time getting quiet with myself and reflecting before setting those numbers.' That doesn't mean she doesn't have a base range; she charges between $700 and $2500 for five minutes, but it depends on what people are asking for. 'I upcharge for a lot of different things depending on how complex or niche the request,' she said. Ms Lynx credits her success and out-of-the-box thinking with the fact that she's always known she'd have to work hard to succeed. 'I'm determined, I'm motivated, I'm driven. A lot of that comes from how I grew up. There was always arguing, always stress about money,' she said. 'Constant scrimping, constant pinching. I just knew I was never going to live like that. Now, I get to not only support myself, but share amazing experiences with my family and friends, and that means everything to me.' Earning big money has been a game-changer for the X-rated creator but mostly because she loves the 'freedom' that money can give you. Her income is also something she needs to invest back into herself, whether that's by being able to afford healthy food to keep herself feeling good or splurging on an expensive beauty procedure. 'I take personal development courses. I buy books to learn and grow from. I work with business coaches. I can hire people like my publicist and people who support me with marketing strategy,' she said. 'On the practical side, I'm also putting a lot of money away for retirement. I invest a lot. I have my hands in a lot of different areas, whether it's the stock market, private equity, or soon, real estate,' she said. 'That's the next thing on my horizon, and I'm so incredibly grateful for that.'

The mum then said: 'If you've got a ton of stuff to list on Vinted and you're not doing this one tip, you're gonna wanna save this because trust me it's gonna save you a ton of time.' Aissetou revealed that she uses AI to write her descriptions, as she added: 'So the first thing you're gonna do is take your pictures like you always do and then you're simply gonna upload them to ChatGPT and give it this simple prompt and it is gonna write you your entire description for you.' Aissetou claimed that she will ask ChatGPT: 'Write me a Vinted sales description for this item.' Following this, she explained: 'Just like that - super quick, so then you copy the description, paste it into Vinted and there you go. 'I always tweak it a little bit so it doesn't sound completely like a robot but trust me, using this is gonna save you a ton of time.'

Social media users were impressed with the handy hack and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted? QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted... The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it. Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017. More information here: One person said: 'I've started doing that a few months ago and it's amazing.' Another added: 'That's great advice, thank you.' best tip ever.' Not only this, but someone else gasped: 'You're a genius.' As well as this, another agreed: 'This is actually so clever!'
