£10,000,000 From Selling Nudes - Chelsea Ferguson - #139

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends. Welcome back to Modern Wisdom. Oh, get ready for today. So I am joined by Chelsea Ferguson, the founder of AdmireMe.vip, and longtime celebrity of Snapchat, Twitter, and getting her boobs out in the national press. Me and Chelsea have been friends for a long time. I've known her since she was a stripper in Newcastle, and she dated some of my friends back in the day, and we used to party together and blah, blah. Recently, she started a website. This website allows guys and girls to sell their content directly to clients who want to sign up to it. It's been used quite a lot over the last year, and has generated nearly 10 million pounds of revenue in 16 months. So I thought, hey, that sounds like an interesting business plan to go through. Let's sit her down and have a chat. So that's precisely what I did. No matter what you think about selling your nudes online, you can't argue with the numbers. So yeah, I want to hear what you think. I was super impressed by Chelsea. I thought she had a great understanding of exactly why she's doing it. It seems like she's really protecting and advising the girls and guys that work on her site. Yeah, this is one of my favorite episodes I've ever recorded, but I can also tell that it's going to trigger people. So, enjoy it, and if you're new here, hit the subscribe button. We are banging out two episodes every Monday and every Thursday, like I'm Charlie Sheen bouncing off rocks at the moment. Enjoy this one. Please welcome the wise and wonderful Chelsea Ferguson.
Chelsea Ferguson in the building, woo hoo hoo. Hiya, how are you? Fine, and you? Very good, thank you. Thanks for coming on.

**Chelsea Ferguson** (2:06)
It's all right, not better to do it.

**Chris Williamson** (2:11)
That's funny, man. So we've been friends for ages, we've been friends like 10 years.

**Chelsea Ferguson** (2:16)
Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it?

**Chris Williamson** (2:17)
And we've been through having different jobs, you've been in loads of different jobs.
First things first, right? You're at a party, someone comes up to you and says, hi, Chelsea, I'm a new human who doesn't know anything about you. What do you do for work? What's your answer to that?

**Chelsea Ferguson** (2:35)
If I'm drunk, or like it's like a young crowd, I'll just be blurt out like, I'm pornstar, mate, like as a joke. And well, it's not really a joke because I have sucked dick on camera as well. No. If it was like, you know, like an older woman, which usually the young ones know I am, so it would be like an older person. And I would just say that I own a website. And then if they push me into the same kind of website, I'll say a porn website.

**Chris Williamson** (3:00)
Porn website.

**Chelsea Ferguson** (3:00)
A porn website, yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (3:02)
So is that the class of websites that AdmireMe is?

**Chelsea Ferguson** (3:05)
Our class is that, yeah, because it's like adult entertainment, isn't it? Yeah. And everybody's pretty much shagging on there and stuff. There is people that don't, but like, yeah, obviously it's not safe for work.

**Chris Williamson** (3:16)
Not, definitely not safe for work. No, yeah. So someone, again, listeners, some people know who you are, some people won't. What's AdmireMe?

**Chelsea Ferguson** (3:26)
AdmireMe is a website where men and women can make up their own profile, some couples as well do, and make your own profile, set your own price, and then upload basically your nudes, pictures, videos, like home movies, whatever you want to upload, and you charge whatever you want. Then you can like charge extra for premium posts and things like that. So that's the gist of it really. And it's just been crazy. I didn't even think, because there's so much free porn, I didn't even think that it would be like a thing really. And it just very much is a thing.

**Chris Williamson** (3:57)
Yeah. So what's your revenue to date so far?

**Chelsea Ferguson** (4:01)
What's revenue turnover? We're about 9.8 million pound in 16 months. I'm trying to work out. It's about 16 months I think, yeah. Maybe 10 million.

**Chris Williamson** (4:14)
10 million pounds.

**Chelsea Ferguson** (4:15)
Turnover, yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (4:17)
10 million pounds from selling nudes.

**Chelsea Ferguson** (4:19)
Yep.

**Chris Williamson** (4:21)
That's a lot of nudes.

**Chelsea Ferguson** (4:22)
It is a lot of nudes.

**Chris Williamson** (4:23)
Have you got any idea how many nudes it is?

**Chelsea Ferguson** (4:25)
I don't actually. That's an interesting question. Good question.
