OnlyFans Creators Share What They REALLY Earn – And What It Took To Get There

“I’m making roughly over a million dollars a month right now, which still feels surreal to say out loud.”

OnlyFans launched in 2016 as a social media platform designed to help influencers, musicians and other creators connect directly with their fans through paid subscriptions.

Adult content creators, in particular, flourished on the platform, with some earning six figures annually – and others bringing in that much in a single month.

While that kind of money may sound enticing in a “should-I-quit-my-day-job-and-give-it-a-shot?” kind of way, the work isn’t easy.

OnlyFans creators say that building a fan base, streamlining your workflow and maintaining a content calendar takes far more strategy and consistency than many people realise.

Plus, the platform itself can be unpredictable: in 2021, OnlyFans announced plans to ban sexually explicit content, only to reverse course days later following intense backlash.

What does it take to make bank on the site? What kind of explicit content are they offering, exactly?

Below, OnlyFans adult content creators who are making it work delve into that, and what they think of the recent controversial Euphoria storyline involving Sydney Sweeney’s character, Cassie, joining the site.

Responses have been edited and condensed for clarity.

Skylar Mae: “I’m making roughly over $1 million dollars a month right now.”

“I got into OnlyFans while I was in dental school. My family was struggling with medical bills after Covid, and I wanted a way to help support them financially. At first, I saw it as a side hustle, but it quickly became my full-time career. The growth happened really fast. My first month was honestly mind-blowing, and by the second month, I realised this was something real that I needed to fully focus on. Eventually, everyone at my dental job found out, and I ended up getting fired.

When I first started on OnlyFans, I was only posting bikini and lingerie content. There was no nudity at all in the beginning. Over time, my content naturally evolved month by month into more suggestive content, and years later, I eventually released my first boy-girl video.

Across all my platforms, I have around 9 million social media followers total – 4.5 million on Instagram, over a million on TikTok, and another 1 million on Twitter. Building that audience has taken years of consistency and hard work. I’m making roughly over $1 million dollars a month right now, which still feels surreal to say out loud. But I’ve worked incredibly hard to build this business and make it successful.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that this job is somehow easier than a traditional 9-to-5. In reality, I work constantly – holidays, birthdays, weekends, all of it. When you run your own business and want to succeed at a high level, you’re always ‘on.’

Another misconception is that success on OnlyFans only comes from doing extreme or outrageous content. I completely disagree with that. I’m one of the top creators on the platform, and I’ve built my business by creating content I’m personally comfortable making. If your audience connects with what you create, you can absolutely be successful without constantly pushing boundaries.

As for Euphoria, I actually think it’s great publicity when mainstream shows reference OnlyFans because it opens the door for people to better understand how the........
