Average Earnings on OnlyFans
New creators often start modestly, typically earning between $100 and $1,000 per month while building a following. For those who consistently post quality content and engage with fans, earnings can grow steadily.
If you already have an established audience or a strong personal brand, your first month could be your most profitable, with a significant launch surge. However, for most creators, income growth comes from persistence, engagement, and diversification of content.
How Earnings Compare by Percentile
OnlyFans uses percentile rankings to show how a creator’s income compares to others on the platform. This ranking updates daily and is based on gross earnings rather than subscriber count. Many creators use their percentile as a marketing badge, like “Top 1% creator.”

Factors That Influence OnlyFans Earnings
While income potential is high, earnings depend on several key factors:
- Traffic - The more targeted visitors you drive to your page, the higher your potential sales.
- Subscriber Conversion - Turning visitors into paying subscribers is critical.
- Fan Interaction - Personalized engagement through messages, live streams, and exclusive offers boosts loyalty.
- Content Strategy - Diversifying your content helps appeal to different audience segments.
If you’re an agency owner, managing multiple accounts with these factors in mind can significantly scale revenue. Creator Hero’s tools make this easy by tracking fan engagement, sales, and performance across all profiles.
