OnlyFans model made $100,000 in first week thanks to billboard advert
An OnlyFans model who hired a roadside billboard says the move paid off - literally - as she raked in $100,000 in just one week.
Aussie Savannah, who uses the name WC Savage on OnlyFans, put up the huge billboard in Perth last month.
And the billboard received backlash from some residents, and prompted a flurry of complaints - 350 in total - to Ad Standards Australia due to its risque nature.

One of the complaints claimed that it could be triggering to those who have an addiction to pornography, while another said that‘ 'sexual objectification of women leads to violence against women'.
However, the complaints have not been upheld and the billboard remained in situ - not only that but it turned out to be a smart move for Savannah, who pulled in $100,000 in just one week since the OnlyFans ad went up, according to Perth Now.
According to the outlet, she paid $77,000 for the ad, so it was certainly worth the expense.
The advert, which was placed between Green Street and Scarborough Beach Road in Osborne Park, showed Savannah in a black bikini and had a QR code linking to her OnlyFans account.
After four weeks, she says she plans to replace the billboard and change the QR code to one that links to Western Australian charity Clothing Please.
The organisation recycles unwanted clothes by collecting them and redistributing them to those who need them.
Hitting back at the complaints, she told 6PR: “Obviously, people are concerned about children seeing this picture of me in a bikini at the beach, which I think is a little far-fetched.
“But each to their own. Obviously, the fact that OnlyFans is an adult content-creating website that caters to adult entertainment.
“OnlyFans actually have layers of protection to stop underage people from accessing the site.
“You need to have your licence. You need to have a credit card even just to access the free site.”
She added: “If young teenagers are scanning this QR code, then there should be parental blocks in place placed by their parents on their iPhones, tablets and computers and things like that, to stop them from being able to access sites like this and other sites that do create explicit content.
“That’s what my parents did when I was younger. I know that schools do that their computer access and things like that.
“I really do believe that that’s the responsibility of the parents.”
Local mayor, Mark Irwin, told 7News that complaints are needed for the city to take action, but added that 'content and editorial control of what is displayed on the billboard is a decision made by a private entity'.
