You can get paid in exchange for insults as a digital dominatrix?

Yes! People will pay for all kinds of things and being insulted is one of them. Most people are familiar with what a dominatrix is but the term covers a range of things and can be tailored to suit you. Whilst most upon hearing the term dominatrix will vision leather and whips, being a normal person that lacks in the manners department is often all that is needed whilst in character as this form of dominatrix. Want to know the best part? You don’t have to worry about anyone taking a picture and job prospects finding out, or buying equipment. In fact you don’t even have to run a comb through your hair as you can make money without ever being seen!

How is this even possible?

Well firstly let me start by saying you have to be at least 18 years old, also be prepared to send ID to prove it but that’s all you need. I can only vouch for the Adult Work website which is the most popular of it’s kind in the UK. Adult Work offers two different types of text only services, the SMS Chat service allows you to receive messages to your phone and send messages while your number remains concealed. The other service, which is the type that I’m focusing on, is the Direct IM service. The Direct IM service means your interactions only consists of text like an instant messaging style service. Unlike the SMS chat option, the Direct IM is only through the website, so there is no charge for sending or receiving any messages. Because your phone number is never involved this is a safer option.

Can you boost your profits as a digital dominatrix further?

I only tried this side hustle briefly as an experiment, but it’s worth mentioning it as an option. You must be thinking all sorts of seedy messages will be exchanged but the messages I received were predominately about walking my dog and picture requests to see my muddy boots following. Offers to clean my house was another popular demand. Like how you can make money selling your smelly old shoes people will actually pay for pictures of your muddy footwear. A quick walk to the park and a few on site pictures later and you’ve got your very own merchandise. These can be sold and even paid for on a pay per view service through the same site. You’ll find especially with this niche you’ll have regular customers and build your own following over time.

So how does getting paid work?

You set your own rate for Direct IM and price for any merchandise as well. The rate for Direct IM customers is per minute. Anything you earned and any tips (yes tips is another possibility), will be added to your account on the website. There are various ways for you to be able to transfer your money to your bank. You only have to upload any merchandise one, making this aspect a form of passive income.

Final thoughts

Being any form of a dominatrix even under the veil of instant messaging will definitely not be for everyone. Whilst your offering text only there are others offering a lot more, but this is a very niche market. Just because others are offering more doesn’t mean you have to, stick to what your comfortable with. I would do this whilst watching TV, sign in and wait for the bell that a customer wanted to talk.  Typical working hours are the busiest, as it’s only text it has the advantage of being very discreet. Also don’t expect a vast amount of earnings, but you’ll definitely got a good laugh out of it.
