Some people will always try to get something for nothing (or for very little) â and these are the people we call time wasters. In this blog, weâll talk about two types of time wasters â ones you run into on social media and ones who are subs.
Some people will always try to get something for nothing (or for very little) â and these are the people we call time wasters.
In this blog, weâll talk about two types of time wasters â ones you run into on social media and ones who are subs.
Avoiding them will free up more of your time for promoting your account and actually making money â so keep reading to see the best way to do so.
Timewasters on Social Media
Youâll see them in your social media DMs all the time. Theyâll chat with you, ask you about yourself or what you offer, or ask to see more content for free.
You might think if you give them a free sample or attention theyâll become paying subs.
This is NOT the case!
If they wanted to subscribe they would. Donât waste your time.
When someone is being super chatty in your messages, Â tell them they can sub to your OF if they want to continue â keep your flirty and friendly tone, but also let them know you mean business.
Theyâll either subscribe or they wonât but the conversation should be done after that. Itâs not your job to change someoneâs mind.
I would recommend stating in your bio that you only answer DMs on OF (or for Insta call it paid site, premium site, exclusive site, etc).
As you grow in popularity, the amount of DMs you get will go up. Delete your messages, or use a bot to thank them for reaching out and say you only reply on Onlyfans.
Time Wasters on OnlyFans
Even after somebody subs, they might not be willing to spend more to see more.
They may have excuses â waiting for a paycheck, falling on hard times, wanting a sample before paying more, already tipping you, etc, etc.
Donât give explicit previews, donât sent content before they pay, and donât spend your time trying to convince subs! đ¤
A valuable fan wonât make excuses or be cheap. Fans act this way arenât worth paying attention to â and the sooner you stop humoring them, the better.
What Can You Say to These Subs?
You should explain politely but with confidence that you donât talk for free, and ask for a tip.
Or ask them why they donât buy your content, while flirting and saying that you know heâs gonna love it, youâll take ideas for future content from him if he buys, etc.
If heâs still not buying â just stop giving them attention.
Given an ultimatum, the will either buy, or you will get to not waste time on them and focus on valuable fans!
Some fans just talk and donât buy or tip â itâs just the way it is.
You canât control them. What you can control however is not wasting your time with low paying subs. You need to automatically track whoâs spending a lot on you and focus on those fans! đ¸
Yes â itâs possible to do that đ¤Ł
With Supercreator fan insights, you can see how long a fan is subscribed and how much he spent on your PPVs or tipped you as well as their buy rate (how they bought compared to every PPV youâve sent them).
If they have been there for over a month and their buy rate is less than 10%, or if they havenât spent a dime yet â they are a time-waster!
Put more of your time and energy into higher value subs that you have a connection with, and strengthen that connection by noting things about them and what they are into.
Now that you know this, start taking back your time. Every minute spent stacks up â and youâll be able to do so much more for yourself and your business if you know how to prioritize your time.
Some creators make serious money on the platform, while others put in time and energy and barely see a return. Itâs not as simple as signing up and cashing out.
This guide breaks down what it takes to succeed, what the platform does well (and what it doesnât), and whether itâs the right move for you. No hype, just the real stuff.
Why Use OnlyFans in 2025 at All?
So, with all the new platforms popping up in 2025, is OnlyFans still worth starting? It depends on what you're looking for, but there are still a few things OnlyFans does better than most alternatives.
â
Ease of monetizationÂ
It can be easier to earn on OnlyFans. The platformâs simplified payment process makes it easier for fans to subscribe, tip, and buy content. It also features multiple income streams, from PPVs to livestreams to custom bundles.Â
â
You own the fan relationship Â
OnlyFans has no middleman between creators and fans. So, you get to build deep relationships with fans and earn more by converting subscribers to repeat customers.Â
â
Wider appeal with fansÂ
OnlyFans has a massive user base, with millions of active users worldwide. Creators on this platform can have a higher visibility than those on alternative websites. Also, there's a huge target audience even for creators in obscure niches. The brand name carries weight, so itâs easier to promote your OF page across other platforms.Â
â
Large potential to earn huge revenue
OnlyFans' payout rate is 80 percent of creator earnings, which is competitive with most other platforms. Top OnlyFans creatorsâ revenue can reach $50,000 or more per month, but that level is rare. The platform also offers a quite flexible payout program; it doesnât limit how many times you can withdraw funds. Users also get to automate their payouts.
â
What to Ask Yourself Before Starting
Put aside what youâve heard and take a moment to think through what you want from the platform.
Can I handle societal stigma when friends, family, or colleagues come across my page?Â
Will I be bothered when fans are rude, demanding, or manipulative?Â
Am I comfortable with showing more than a little skin?Â
Will I still feel worthy when fans unsubscribe?Â
Can I consistently maintain the page till I see results?Â
How will I handle loneliness?Â
Can I dedicate at least 15 hours per week to creating and promoting content?Â
Do I have a niche, and what are how can I stand out?Â
What's my safety plan to protect my identity?Â
What is my backup plan if it doesn't work out in the end?Â
â
What are your goals: quick cash or long-term brand?
Before you answer, here's what you need to know about these options:
As the name implies, the quick cash approach is great for creators who need immediate income and are okay with short-term work. This approach requires you to post frequently and aggressively promote thirst traps on other platforms. Youâll likely end up posting more frequently and focusing on quantity over polish. While you might quickly earn a huge income, it's quite easy to burn out and lose fans.Â
In contrast, a long-term strategy is for creators willing to invest time and effort. The strategy is also great for creating a personal brand and earning consistent income. Here's how to use the long-term strategy:
Build an easy-to-identify niche and brand image.Â
Focus on building a community and getting loyal fans.
Diversify and build on other social platforms.Â
â
Are you comfortable with attention (good and bad)?
Starting an OnlyFans might invite undue attention or scrutiny. Sometimes, it leads to harassment. So, ask these questions to know if you can stand the attention:
Can I handle compliments and creeps?Â
Youâll probably get compliments and gifts, but youâll also have to deal with boundary-pushers.Â
Can you handle judgment from peers?
Friends, family, or colleagues may not react well if they find your page. So, if you're not ready for the heat, try hiding your identity or setting your page to be visible in faraway locations.Â
Am I ready for sexualized attention?Â
Fans will sexualize almost everything you do or say. Some may even become obsessive and drop unending DMs.Â
â
Do you have the time to do this consistently?
You need to put in consistent efforts to get results on OnlyFans. First, set a weekly commitment of 20 to 30 hours to earn huge returns. You should also make daily commitments in the form of content creation, promotions, and fan engagement.Â
So, dedicate at least 2 to 3 hours daily. You can, however, reduce the overall time by adopting AI and creating content in batches. Repurposing your content is also another option for saving time. You may edit an hour-long video into short clips to use on other social media platforms.Â
â
Can you handle the unpredictability of income?
OnlyFans isn't like the typical 9 to 5 where you're sure of receiving your earnings. Your income will likely fluctuate month to month, depending on how much you post, promote, and engage.Â
â
Pros and Cons of OnlyFans
You've asked the difficult questions; it's now time to weigh the pros and cons of OnlyFans before leaping.Â
â
Pros of OnlyFans
High earning potential
The top 1 percent of creators make around $20,000 per month, and the sky is the limit. Thereâs no cap on what you can earn. Creators make money through subscriptions, pay-per-views, livestreams, tips, and even external merch links.Â
â
Full control over content
You're in control of your content, provided it doesn't violate OnlyFans' guidelines. The platform also lets you set the price, formats, and time of the posts. If you delete your content, OnlyFans will retain it for six months, after which they will permanently delete it.Â
â
Flexible schedule
There are no limits or restrictions on where and when you can post. OnlyFans only restricts posts that violate their terms and policies.Â
â
Direct access to your fans
Creators enjoy unrestricted access to their fans through the direct messaging function. The function lets you upsell custom bundles to fans and earn extra income.Â
â
Secure payments
OnlyFans has a secure payment system, and most payouts arrive within a few days, depending on your withdrawal method. The payment process is straightforward, and funds typically arrive within a few business days, depending on your payout settings. The platform is also integrated with different secure payment platforms.Â
â
Cons of OnlyFans
High competition
OnlyFans is now home to over 3.4 million creators. This means it's more challenging to stand out and capture your desired audience. To stand out, you might need to niche down and aggressively promote your page.Â
â
Burnout and content pressure
Most creators face mental fatigue due to their fans' unending demand for content. Creators also burn out when replying to hundreds of DMs from fans.
â
Privacy and piracy risks
Even OnlyFans is not immune to leaks. Fans might find ways to copy and share your content. Doxxers and stalkers are also real threats to watch out for on OnlyFans.
â
Judgment/stigma
Creators may face stigma or judgment from loved ones and society. In some cases, creators may lose future job opportunities as a result of their OnlyFans page.Â
â
OnlyFans Isnât EnoughâYouâll Need Promotion
Creating good content is just the start. If youâre not promoting, no oneâs going to find your page. OnlyFans doesnât have a built-in discovery feed, so your account stays invisible until you drive traffic to it.Â
Promotion is what brings in new subs. Some creators use OnlyFans paid promotion to get a boost, but real growth usually comes from what you do off-platform, like social media, shoutouts, Reddit, and collabs.
â
Social media is required
Your presence on social media platforms will determine your success on OnlyFans. These platforms have algorithms that push your content to the target audience.Â
But you should be strategic to see results from social media platforms. For instance, use threads, polls, influencer marketing, and spicy takes on Twitter, while your TikTok may contain more of GWRM and PPVs. Try to maintain a strong presence on at least two platforms; don't stretch yourself out. You can also repurpose the same content for different platforms.Â
â
Collabs, promos, Reddit
Collabs and promos are still one of the fastest ways to grow on OnlyFans. Partnering with another creator lets you reach a new audience while giving your fans something different. Some creators will trade shoutouts or go live together, while others may charge a fee. Just make sure your content and audiences are a good match.
If you're running paid promos, donât throw money at random pages. Ask about engagement rates and focus on communities that fit your niche. Niche-specific shoutout pages usually bring in better results.
Reddit is still a reliable way to promote your content. There are subreddits for almost every niche. As long as you follow the posting rules and stay consistent, it can help drive traffic without spending anything.Â
â
Tools exist to help, but you still have to show up
Your consistency will determine your success on OnlyFans. Your tools, promotions, or creative content are just a fraction of the whole equation. You must build a content plan and stick to it.
â
Whatâs It Actually Like? Real Talk on Day-to-Day Work
Itâs easy to assume the job is just content and cash, but the day-to-day reality looks a lot different. Here's what goes into running an OnlyFans account.
â
Itâs more admin than you think
You'll only spend a fraction of your time on creating content. The reality check is that you'll spend more time on routine tasks like post scheduling, expense tracking, custom requests, and performance tracking.Â
â
Content doesnât make itself
OnlyFans is more than just posting nudes; creators spend hours coming up with creative ideas. Sometimes, they spend hours brainstorming or reshooting content until it feels right.
Editing is also another time-consuming task to watch for. Creators might spend hours adding or editing blurred backgrounds, adding watermarks, or creating thumbnails.Â
â
The DMs can get overwhelming
The moment you go viral, your inbox becomes a non-stop flood of messages. Creators may attend to as many as 100 DMs daily, with each waiting for an immediate response. So, there'll be days when all you do is reply to DMs.Â
To avoid this situation, integrate an AI chatbot and program it to separate the high from the low spenders. You will also come across manipulative fans who either guilt-trip you or offer money for extreme requests. In such cases, state your limits in your bio and block those types of fans.Â
â
Can You Make a Living on OnlyFans in 2025?
Yes, but itâs rare. The platform is more competitive than ever, and only the top 1% earn most of the life-changing money. Top earners might get upwards of $50,000 monthly, while casual creators earn between $100 and $2,000. Your income depends on how well you market, manage your time, and keep fans coming back.
â
So, Is Starting an OnlyFans Worth It?
It can be, but it takes real work. Youâll need to treat it like a business, put in consistent time each week, and invest in the right tools. Growth doesnât happen overnight, and relying on OnlyFans alone wonât cut it. If youâre serious, build your presence across other platforms and keep testing what works for you.

OnlyFans has become a popular platform for creators to monetize their content by charging fans for access to exclusive material. The income varies widely depending on several factors, such as the type of content you produce, your marketing strategies, and how engaged your fan base is. From new creators to top earners, there's a vast income range on the platform.
Whatâs the Average Income of an OnlyFans Girl?
The amount you can make on OnlyFans depends on where you're at in the game. New creators usually earn less, but as you build your fanbase and keep engagement high, your income can grow a lotâunless, of course, youâre already famous and can make a huge deal from opening the account, in which case your first month can be the strongest.Â
If you're just starting and arenât exactly famous, donât expect more than around $100 to $1,000 a month. Itâs pretty common for beginners, but as you get more content out there and interact more with fans, youâll start seeing your earnings climb.
The more effort you put into your content and fan engagement, the more youâll make over time.
How Much Do OnlyFans Models Make by Percentile?
The earnings for OnlyFans creators determine their percentile rank, which reflects how they compare to others in terms of revenue. The OnlyFans percentile refers to how a creator ranks in terms of earnings compared to all other creators on the platform. Itâs a relative performance metric that shows where you stand among all active accounts.
Here's how it works:
A top 1% creator is earning more money than 99% of all OnlyFans creators.
A top 10% creator is earning more than 90% of creators, but less than the top 9%.
A top 0.1% creator is in the very highest-earning tier on the platform â essentially elite.
Keep in mind that the percentile is based on gross earnings, not the number of subscribers or content quality. It is updated daily, so rankings can shift based on your recent performance and how others are doing. Some creators earn large sums through tips and DMs, which significantly impact their percentile. The percentile is often used as a social proof badge (âTop 1% creatorâ) in marketing bios, social media, and promos. It doesnât reveal exact income, but gives a rough indication of success relative to others.
Here's the breakdown of how creators in different percentiles earn, based on the data provided:
Top 0.01%: The highest-earning creators can make more than $300,000 a month. Thereâs also the 0.001% that can make even 10 times what those in the 0.01% earn, but weâre talking about the very few.Â
Top 0.02%: Creators in this tier might earn around $250,000 per month.Â
Top 0.03%: Earnings for these creators are about $200,000 per month.Â
Top 0.04%: At this level, creators earn around $180,000 per month.Â

Top 0.1%: At this level, creators earn $94,400 per month.
Top 0.2%: Earnings for these creators drop to $61,100 per month.Â
Top 0.5%: Creators in this percentile earn around $33,200 a month.Â
Top 1%: These creators make about $18,700 per month.Â
Top 2 to 3%: For these creators, monthly earnings drop to about $5,800 to $9,500.
Top 5 to 10%: Earnings at this level are somewhat lower, with creators making anywhere from $980 to $2,700 per month.Â
Top 11 to 12%: In this category, creators earn between $790 and $920 on average.
Top 15%: This is where creators can make $550 a month on average.

Top 35 to 50%: Creators in this range make between $58 and $110.
Factors Influencing Earnings on OnlyFans
Itâs clear from this data that several factors can affect earnings, especially fan engagement.
Traffic: Higher earnings mainly come down to how much traffic you generate to your page, how many you convert to subscribers, and how many become top fans.
Subscriber count: More subscribers generally means more potential income, but itâs not always the case that the more subscribers you have, the higher your earnings will be.
Fan interaction: Engaging with your fans through messages, private chats, or custom content keeps them loyal, driving higher earnings.Â
How to Make More on OnlyFans
If you want to make more money on OnlyFans, there are a few simple things you can do that actually work. Itâs all about being smart with your time and connecting with the right fans. Hereâs what can help:
Mix it up with your content: Donât just post the same thing over and over. Change it up with photos, videos, live streamsâanything that keeps your fans excited. Throw in some polls, Q&As, or just interact with them more. The more you show up, the more theyâll stick around.
Be creative on social: Use social media as a space to express yourself. Share content like memes, behind-the-scenes clips, trending challenges, and personal updates. The more creative and real you are, the more people will connect with you.
Find your niche and own it: The most successful creators have their own thing. Whether youâre into fitness, cosplay, or something else, focusing on what makes you different will help you stand out. People are more likely to stick around if they know exactly what theyâre getting from you.
Use AI to help with chats: Chatting with fans can get overwhelming fast, but using AI tools can take care of a lot of those messages for you. It frees you up to focus on the personal stuff that really builds those connections, and you can still keep the engagement up without all the back-and-forth.
By focusing on these things, you'll keep your fans happy and coming back for more. Itâs all about making real connections, not just growing your numbers.
So, How Much Do Women Make on OnlyFans?
Thereâs a lot of money to be made on OnlyFans, but itâs all about being consistent and getting creative. Some creators pull in good cash with regular posts, custom content, and live shows, while others make the real money by connecting with their fans and offering extra, exclusive content.
