More hours don't automatically mean more earnings — consistency and engagement matter more. Experienced models often work 4-8 hours daily, or less on higher-commission platforms.

The first month is hardest; expect zero or low earnings initially.

Pros: flexibility, all earnings are yours. Cons: you handle all setup, marketing, and support yourself. Studios provide equipment and audience but take 30-50% commission.
