A woman has shared how she went from being a pot wash to making millions selling saucy snaps online – and she isn’t bothered by bitter trolls who say she has “no morals”.
Alina Rose was sleeping on her cousin’s sofa, unable to afford a place of her own, when she decided that something needed to change.
The 24-year-old took up a side gig as a stripper at first, which caused tension with her mum.

While this provided a more handsome sum of cash, Alina was tipped off by a fellow exotic dancer to a way she could earn 10 times as much – sharing raunchy photos and videos online.
Intrigued, she jumped on the bandwagon and as the cash began to roll in, soon decided to jump in with both feet.
Thanks to her online career, the model has finally been able to rent her own home – she is currently staying in a £25,000 flat in Hollywood.
But it’s not been an entirely easy ride, with Alina getting trolled online by people who say she has “no morals”.
“I get a lot thrown my way and it happens often,” said the model, who has 410,000 followers online.
“People tell me I have no self respect, no morals and no dignity.
“The reality is that I got really tired of being poor and washing dishes every day.
“I was getting up at 6am to get a bus and a train to wash some dishes.
“It was getting repetitive and I was bored of the cycle.
“I was also sleeping on my cousin’s couch and getting paid minimum wage.
“I kept imagining myself living a better life and being able to afford nice things.
“My success has been earned – it’s not luck.
“So I don’t care what the trolls say – honestly, I hope their lives get better because only bitter people feel the need to put others down.
“Unlike them, I’m happy and successful.”
Alina’s relationship with her family has thankfully been repaired in recent years, as her mum noticed how happy her daughter was in her new career.
She said: “I love my family and my mum – I forgave her.
“She raised me, my brother and sister all by herself. She tried her best and didn’t abandon us.
“I’m in a really good place now.’
In her first year, Alina was bringing in up to £3,900 monthly.
But in her second year, this figure was boosted significantly after she got breast implants.
The model paid £7,800 to go from an A cup to a C cup but insists the decision to have surgery wasn’t influenced by her potential earnings.
She said: “The surgery had nothing to do with my new job – it was entirely for myself.
“I used to wonder why I didn’t have boobs and I didn’t feel like a woman.
“After I had my breasts done, I felt so much more confident in my body.
“And I quickly realised that this was something people responded to online.
“Besides, if you show more, you earn more.
“I made over five figures every month after that.”
In the future, when she’s “really rich” – though she’s already well on her way – Alina hopes to have a child with her gamer boyfriend, Josue, 20.
She also plans to become a landlord, buying and renting out properties in Texas.
She said: “My life has changed for the better since selling my saucy snaps online– I’ve made over £2.3m in just four years.
“Now, I can live in nice places and I can take care of my family in a way I never imagined.
“I believe in manifestation and I always told myself I’d be rich, I just didn’t know how or how long it would take.
“I’ve been bullied a lot in my life so coming from that to where I am now, making money from my looks, is a dream come true.”
