Rich emailed and asked if it’s actually possible for someone to make a living at financial domination and blackmail. And the answer would be, yes of course!
He found it strange that at the end of the week a woman wouldn’t be getting a steady pay check. Let’s look at this realistically. Is it easy to make money as a Financial Domme? Absolutely not. There are many women who get in to the game thinking it’s a way to make fast money. ‘I’ll throw up a website and then men will come flocking to me and give me all their money.’ They soon realize that’s not the way it goes.
As a Financial Dominatrix you are self-employed. Now according to Rich it’s safer to get a pay check at the end of the week but let’s face it millions of people are self-employed and don’t get a steady pay check. That’s capitalism baby. If you’re self-employed you know you don’t get a check at the end of the week. You hustle your ass to make sales or do whatever it is you do. Self-employment is very rewarding no boss, you set your own hours, and your salary isn’t capped. It’s up to you by however much effort you put in to your work how much you make. On the downside your income fluctuates and if you’re not a disciplined person and make yourself get out there every day you’re probably better working at Walmart.
Many girls make a very good living at being a Financial Domme. Very few make a fantastical living. The ones who think it would be a breeze and they can just watch soap operas all day while their bank accounts fill up are gone pretty quick looking for greener pastures somewhere else usually the local 7-11 when it dawns on them that this is work!!
For those of you who doubt that you can make a sustainable living at Financial Domination you need to take a look at one of the oldest (not by age) and most successful Financial Dommes that I know of. I think it’s safe to say that if she wasn’t the one who pioneered the fetish she was one of the ones who did, and that would be Princess Sierra. Princess Sierra is one of the most ruthless, cruel, heartless women in the business, qualities that are essential in this line of work. Now if you guys are going to run over to Sierra’s site thinking you’ve found the Domina of your dreams, my advice to you is WATCH IT! You are playing with the ultimate fire. If you succumb to her, you don’t get free. She’s not one who plays at this like most of the other so-called Financial Dominatrix’s out there. This has been her life for many years and she makes more than a comfortable living at it BUT she is the ultimate Mafia Princess, once you’re in you can’t get out. She doesn’t fuck around.
Girls you can learn by watching her but it wouldn’t be wise to think you can outsmart her or steal her subs or any other juvenile behavior that is floating through your mind right now. She doesn’t take prisoners whether its men or baby dommes who try to screw her over. Whatever you do, don’t just look at someone like Princess Sierra and think you can just copy and duplicate her. She is successful because what she does isn’t an act., it’s who she really is and THAT makes the difference right there.
That said you have to remember that a lot of what real Financial Dominatrix’s get is not necessarily a lot of cash per se but gifts. If you have enough cash to cover your bills and then your entire house and life are paid for by others it’s a good deal. But again, it’s rare.
So can you make a real living being a Financial Dominatrix? Yes. Is it easy? No.

Hi,
I wish I had read this 17 years ago.
I am one of Princess Sierras minions / freaks. I stumbled on her site all that time ago and didn’t know what to expect. She played me like a fish, I was hooked but didn’t know it. She did, She knew exactly what to do. I’ve spent thousands on Her and now, even though I broke I still urge to pay her.

I still think we should make I SURVIVED SIERRA t-shirts! LOL

Hi Dr. Sue, I am FindomX, a financial dominatrix and I just want to say that I agree 100% with what you’re saying here, I’ve been doing this work for about 8 years now and boy is it hard! You have to be invested in this, it’s time consuming, energy consuming and sometimes even emotionally consuming, but at the end of the day it does pay off and I enjoy doing what I do. I do see a lot of fellow “findoms” come to my profile and ask how. I do it; there’s no answer to that, I guess that’s the beauty of it..you have to be your own persons, unique..you can’t copy because you will fail!. this fetish itself has many branches for example, financial domination is supposed to be where simply man pay and that’s that, nothing in return. But you also have guys that want humiliation sessions and things like that, now..I have seen lots of pretty younger girls getting almost naked to make a dollar, and that I think gives us, that don’t do it a bad name.. I’ve had girls go to y profile, like my pictures only to get noticed from my slaves, my paypigs, and my submissives, which is not cool but thankfully I have solid relations with them. So yeah, I agree.. if girls come to this thinking “oh I’m just gonna show a boob and my lips and I will get money”.. they will fail. The ones that enjoy the power exchange, the mind**ckery, and the control- aside from the financial aspect of it I believe are the ones that will thrive. I just had to put in my two cents. Great article!.
Rich
Thankyou Dr. Sue

Dr. Sue, this posting on whether a financial domme can support herself was really very interesting. Of course, when I read your warning that I shouldn’t go to Princess Sierra’s website, I had to go there immediately. I found it strangely arousing, but in the end not for me. I’m not really interested in humiliation with my financial domination, so Princess Sierra is not quite what I’m looking for. Still, I really enjoyed reading your point of view.
Dr Sue
Ah human behavior at it’s most predictable. I’m glad you had the presence of mind to know what’s good and not good for you Wombat.
