Sex Sells: But So Does Tennis
There’s no denying the meteoric rise of OnlyFans in the digital age. Famed as a platform where creators can sell their content directly to their fans, OnlyFans has given birth to many online entrepreneur success stories. Yet, behind the flashy headlines of those raking in millions, lies a vast spectrum of creators earning various amounts. Let’s delve deep into the world of OnlyFans’ economy.
The High-Fliers: Top Earners of OnlyFans
When people think of OnlyFans, it’s often the top earners who come to mind first. These are creators who, thanks to a combination of fame, niche content, and strategic marketing, manage to earn sums that defy imagination.
For instance, celebrities like Cardi B and Bella Thorne made headlines by joining the platform. Thorne reportedly earned $1 million in just 24 hours after launching her account. While she’s an outlier given her existing fame, there are many non-celebrity creators who’ve become OnlyFans millionaires.
But how common is this level of success? Not very. Only a small percentage of creators fall into this bracket. They typically have large followings outside of OnlyFans, which they leverage to drive subscribers to the platform.
