What was changed
Argentina’s crisis made income urgent: Rest of World reported poverty above 55% and annual inflation above 275% in May 2024. In 2020, Maybel Delvalle was running a homemade-food shop, spending much of her time away from her children and feeling depressed. She discovered OnlyFans, began selling images and videos plus sexting and virtual-girlfriend services, and earned 50,000 pesos after several months.
The turning point was to treat what she had learned as a product. After seeing her income rise each month, Delvalle started coaching other creators, opened an office in the neighborhood where she grew up, and built a course priced at about $25. It covered customer attraction, seductive chat, withdrawals and blocking users from selected countries.
By June 2024, she said the course was receiving 50–60 new students per month and that she earned more than a congressperson. Other Argentine coaches charged more and bundled nutrition, yoga, language, accounting and psychology sessions, showing how creator know-how was becoming a service business around the platform.
What it achieved
Delvalle’s course reached 50–60 new students a month, and she said her earnings had risen above those of a congressperson.
Why it worked
Argentina’s high inflation and poverty created immediate demand for fast, flexible income.
Delvalle had firsthand proof that her content, messaging and payout tactics could generate sales.
A course converted trial-and-error into a repeatable curriculum rather than keeping the know-how private.
An office and peer community addressed the isolation of working alone on a subscription platform.
What can be applied
When a platform skill solves your own income problem, package the repeatable playbook into a second business—then add community and practical support that users cannot get from the platform alone.
Aftermath
By June 2024, coaching had become a second income stream alongside Delvalle’s creator page. The model carried real risks: authorities had accused a separate coaching agency of exploiting women, while OnlyFans said coaches were unaffiliated third parties.
