A Discreet Additional Income: How Much Can You Really Earn?

Let us start with the essentials, no detours: nobody can tell you how much you will earn per month, and Weared publishes no income figures. What you earn depends on what only you decide: how many pieces you offer, your prices, your consistency.

What does exist are price benchmarks. You set your own price; the listing form suggests a range for each category, for example:

• Panties worn for one day: CHF 29 to 49.
• Panties worn for two days or more: CHF 44 to 64, a little more if they were worn during sport.
• Photos and videos: CHF 10 to 49.

These are suggestions, not observed sale prices: a carefully prepared piece, longer wear or a bespoke request can justify more. To estimate your supplement, do the maths with your own figures: the number of pieces you expect to sell, multiplied by your price, minus the commission (see below). Your consistency, your discretion and the care you put into each shipment matter far more than luck.

Two people offering similar pieces can obtain very different results. The difference rarely comes down to luck, and almost always to the way it is done. A few levers make the real difference:

• Consistency: an active profile that replies warmly and posts regularly inspires trust and builds loyalty.
• Presentation quality: elegant photos, a careful description, a world you own. People do not just buy a piece, they buy an atmosphere.
• The extras: chosen wearing time, a short handwritten note, personalised staging. These attentions justify a higher price.
• The relationship of trust: a satisfied buyer comes back, and a loyal buyer is far more profitable than a one-off sale.

To set fair rates without selling yourself short or scaring buyers off, lean on our detailed pricing grid on how much to charge. A thoughtful rate reassures the buyer as much as it values your work.

An income is not measured by the displayed price, but by what actually lands in your account. On Weared, the commission is 25% per sale, and drops to 20% with Pro (from CHF 39) and 15% with Max (from CHF 89), open to regular sellers.

• A piece sold for 80 CHF at 25% commission leaves you 60 CHF.
• The same piece at 15% (Max subscription) leaves you 68 CHF, that is 8 CHF more, without lifting a finger extra.

Over a monthly volume, this gap becomes significant: after just a few regular sales, the subscription pays for itself and every following piece brings in more. Do the maths according to your own rhythm — it is a simple mechanic to fold into your net-income estimates.

A discreet income is only worth something if it stays discreet all the way through. This is precisely where Weared was designed to protect you, at every step:

• Total anonymity: you operate under a pseudonym. Neither your real name nor your address is ever shared with the buyer.
• Direct or guaranteed payment: with direct bitcoin, the buyer pays your Lightning address at purchase and Weared never touches the money; by card or under the Weared guarantee, Weared collects and pays you out (under the guarantee, once shipping is proven).
• Cryptocurrency payment: settlement in Bitcoin or over Lightning is possible, with no banking trace, for reinforced discretion.
• Neutral shipping: you send from a pick-up point, never from home. Your personal address never circulates.

This architecture is not a marketing detail: it is what turns a risky idea into a serene supplementary income, where your private life stays your private life.

Discretion also plays out in concrete gestures. In Switzerland, logistics are simple and perfectly anonymous if you follow a few steps:

• Prepare a careful shipment: neutral, opaque packaging, with no revealing mention. Presentation counts, so does discretion.
• Ship from a pick-up point: drop your parcel in a My Post 24 machine or choose PickPost delivery, so you never give a home address.
• Enter the tracking number: it is mandatory, it reassures the buyer and it counts as proof in the event of a dispute.
• On the receiving side: in Switzerland, the buyer chooses a My Post 24 locker, a PickPost point or home delivery (the only option for shipments abroad); with a locker or pick-up point, their address is never passed on.
• Confirm the handover: once delivery is validated, the order closes.

This circuit, based in Switzerland on pick-up points, spares you any direct contact and any sharing of sensitive information. It is the backbone of a genuinely discreet income.

An additional income is still income, including in the eyes of the taxman. In Switzerland, ancillary income is in principle to be declared, and the rules vary by canton and your personal situation. A few prudent benchmarks:

• A regular income from a self-employed activity generally enters your tax return, even if it is modest.
• Depending on the amount and nature of the activity, questions of OASI or VAT may arise beyond certain thresholds.
• Discretion towards buyers never exempts you from legal obligations: commercial anonymity and tax compliance are two distinct things.

To see clearly without nasty surprises, we detail the subject in our guide on taxes and declaring your income in Switzerland. And since every situation is unique, always have the figures and rules confirmed by a lawyer or an accountant. It is the reflex of the sellers who last.
