How much money can you make with Onlyfans? The answer depends on who you are, what you do, and how seriously you take working on the blue-and-white platform. Sex work represents a wide variety of services offered, not just photos and videos. There are many ways to make money on Onlyfans, a platform that was not created as a service to connect sex workers and customers but as a sales platform for subscription services of any kind.
It is precisely the variety of services offered that makes it complicated to answer the question of how much money you can make with Onlyfans. Generally, however, when this question is asked it means earnings with a performance or service falling within the umbrella term sex work.
Selling a photo or video is different from selling an entire course to become an expert in yoga (for example), which is why specifying that you are going to talk about sex work is essential to really understand how much you can earn with these services on the platform. In general, however, the platform retains a 20% commission, which must be deducted from the cost of monthly subscriptions.
We try to answer the question how much money you can make with Onlyfans comprehensively, touching on the points of monthly subscriptions, personalized content, and if possible supporting yourself only by using the platform.
How much do Onlyfans subscriptions cost?
The first step to making money with OnlyFans is to get a fixed number of monthly subscriptions. Each content creator can decide whether to charge the monthly subscription or whether to keep access free. The profit, in the second case, lies in the purchase of a single content at a variable price.
The cost of an OnlyFans subscription therefore varies from zero to a maximum of $49.99 per month. The average spent by users, therefore what they are willing to pay for access to the creator’s account, is around 10 dollars per month.
For example, with 500 subscribers at $4.99 per month (the platform retains 20%) you can make $2,500 before taxes per month.
With the monthly subscription you purchase regular content, but many content creators also provide custom products at an extra cost. Often you purchase a subscription with an initial discount, which if automatically renewed doubles or almost. Finally, there are 3, 6, or 12-month packages for $40, $60, or $90 in a single transaction.
Extra content: the value of personalization
The price of custom content is chosen by the content creator or sex worker, depending on what they sell. There are many ways to make extra money, from voting on a client’s body part to shooting completely customized content on request. An average price in this case can be around:
- personalized photo starting from $50-100
- personalized short video from $100-200
The difference in cost is given by the popularity of the sex worker.
Is it possible to make a living with Onlyfans?
OnlyFans, if taken seriously, is a job that allows you to become economically independent. To have large numbers on the platform, therefore many subscribers and a considerable income every month, you need to have extra skills compared to those you can imagine. In the beginning, above all, you shoot content independently, manage social media alone, and have to respond to interactions with subscribers.
For many people, Onlyfans is a way to gain independence. There are those with a rather low number of subscribers who still manage to have a monthly income between $600 and $1000 per month thanks to the creation of personalized content. There are also those who, thanks to their previous fame with OnlyFans, manage to earn well above a normal average salary.
