If you're about to start off your career as a spicy content creator, here's a reality check: on average, Creators are pulling in about $180 per month, which adds up to just $2,160 per year.

But let's get real—while averages are great for giving an overview, they don't always paint the full picture.

So what does this mean for you? There’s room at the top, but you’ve got to put in the work. As YouTuber and OnlyFans Creator OFBusinessSchool points out: an OnlyFans career is NOT a get rich quick scheme—it’s hard work!

Where does the gap come from?

So why do some OnlyFans Creators seem to hit the jackpot while others aren’t able to make it? 

A few factors come into play:

• Starting with a fanbase: Having more followers from the start means more potential income. Celebrities and popular influencers already have a fanbase that they bring in from other platforms. But most Creators have to build their following from the ground up.

• Choosing the right niche: The big earners know where the money is. They focus on popular themes and sought-after niches with eager audiences.

• High-quality content: Quality sells, and consistency keeps subscribers coming back for more. Successful Creators go all in and invest in good gear, have professional shoots, and use proper lighting techniques. 

• Smart marketing: If you want to be successful on OnlyFans, you have to know how to market yourself. The top Creators have a strong promotion game and use their social media to engage with their followers and boost their visibility.

Conclusion

The average OnlyFans Creators brings in $180 per month which is far from a living wage. There are those who earn a lot more, but remember that the top 10% take in 73% of the earnings of the platform.

While success on OnlyFans is possible, it is important to start your journey with realistic expectations. 

And don’t be discouraged if it takes some time before you start pulling in the big bucks—success on OnlyFans doesn’t happen overnight, it’s the result of dedicated, hard work.
