How much can I make on Onlyfans?

How much can I make on Onlyfans? If you’re asking this yourself, we’re here to help.

The internet and media are full of stories of people earning large amounts of money. One of the most famous stories from back in August 2020 was when celebrity Bella Thorne made an Onlyfans account and reportedly made over $1 million in a single day. Then in April 2021 rapper Bhad Bhabie (who started her career as a guest on the US chat show Dr. Phil) reportedly made over $1 million in just 6 hours of making an Onlyfans account. 

So, are these earnings realistic for most new creators and to answer the question of ‘How much can you make on Onlyfans?’ Let’s take a deeper look.

In short, the answer to this question for most is that these earnings numbers, especially so quickly, are not realistic for most. To give some context, Bella Thorne has over 24 million followers on Instagram and Bhad Bhabie has over 16 million followers. These are celebrities, with massive followings, whose actions get a lot of media attention and have a lot of loyal fans to immediately convert into Onlyfans subscribers.

We will release an article soon on the importance of growing your social media presence for OnlyFans, but for now, assuming most reading this are not yet celebrities at such a scale, let’s look at what you can expect to earn from your Onlyfans page?

What are the average earnings of Onlyfans creators?

To start with, let’s look at some average earnings of creators on the Onlyfans platform. 

Onlyfans do not release this information, but a widely common estimate (thank you Google) is around $180 a month. 

Now, this might bring up the question ‘is Onlyfans worth it?’ – $180 a month in large parts of the world is not going to be a liveable wage. However, depending on how much effort you are willing to put in, adding some content via pictures or videos only a few times a week, could make for a good hourly rate and extra income. 

Now, if however, you’re willing to put in more effort than average on Onlyfans, you would expect better than average results, right!?

Let’s look at the data to estimate what you could be expecting to earn on Onlyfans depending on your social media following. Onlyfans have provided some great data on this and suggests that you can expect to convert around 1-1.5% of your social media followers to Onlyfans subscribers. 

So based on subscription fees only, let’s take a look at some Onlyfans earnings estimates based on your social media followers:

These estimates are only for subscription earnings potential and don’t include extra’s, such as PPV earnings, which we’ll explain in a future article coming soon.
