AI-generated models on Fanvue and OnlyFans

The claim

“I use X to make $10k per month with AI girls

all I do is create my ai girl on higgsfield, start generating lots of content I can use to post on X

start posting daily with new captions, content, etc and funnel to the OF/Fanvue

i created a full guide on how I do this, if you want access comment and I’ll send it over (must be following so I can DM)”

The idea is to run a paid adult page for a woman who does not exist. We collected only 2 tweets; the other is about selling kits¹. The page judges the scheme, not the people who tweeted.

The sums

Fanvue and OnlyFans each keep 20% of what fans pay⁵¹⁰. So to keep $10,000 a month, fans must spend $12,500¹⁰. The tweet does not say if its figure is before or after the fee¹.

The subscription is the small part. Fanvue’s own unaudited figures, for all creators in their first two months, put it at around 10% of earnings, with around 60% from paid private messages¹⁷. So the tweet’s “all I do is create my ai girl” and post daily leaves out the main job. Someone has to sell in private chat¹¹⁷.

Two unverified sources, one unattributed sentence in a 2024 article and one forum claim read second-hand, put an AI operator’s income at about $8 to $27 per paying subscriber per month (our division)²⁵⁴². On those, our estimates:

Subscribers also leave: Fanvue says roughly 4 in 10 subscriptions last beyond the first 30 days¹⁷. We found no measured figure for what share of followers pay.

What happens to most people who try

Nobody knows in numbers. Fanvue publishes no earnings figures for AI creators, and we found no study or audited income report. The nearest yardstick is for all creators: OnlyFans’ filed accounts work out at about $102 a month per creator account, dormant ones included (our estimate)⁹. The tweet’s $10,000 is about 100 times that¹⁹.

Sellers of tools and guides want the method to look good and give no data, yet even they quote $0 to $500 a month for the first one to three months⁴²⁴³.

The upside

• Emily Pellegrini. Fanvue told Fortune she made “$23,000 in revenue in January” 2024, and later confirmed $100,000 in total²⁵²⁶. This is unaudited, and may be before the 20% fee²⁵. Wired and 404 Media reported the account “was built in part with deepfake videos on Instagram”: real women’s videos with an AI face put on²⁶. In November 2024 Fanvue said the account met its terms but “usage is extremely low”²⁶.
• “Hailey Lopez”. Fortune reported a student’s AI model with 150 paying subscribers earning $2,500 to $4,000 a month, without saying where the figures come from; her profiles did not directly say she was AI²⁵.

Both cases are from late 2023 and early 2024²⁵. We found no independently checked income for 2025 or 2026, and none for a model that discloses it is AI, as Fanvue now requires¹⁵²⁵²⁶.

Our estimate of a good result: little or nothing in months 1 to 3⁴²⁴³, then, if the following grows and the operator chats daily, a few hundred to about $3,000 a month in fan spending by months 6 to 12, before the fee, tools and tax⁴¹⁴³. Five figures a month matches only the top reported accounts²⁵²⁶.

What it takes to compete

Those who succeeded had:

1. A social audience that keeps growing. Every documented case had one²⁵²⁶.
2. Hours of paid chat every day. The top case’s operator described eight-hour days with fans²⁵. Hiring chatters costs 20% to 30% of what is left after the platform’s fee, on one vendor’s unsourced ranges³⁵.
3. Time without income, and often a team²⁸⁴².

OnlyFans does not allow wholly AI-generated creator profiles⁹. Fanvue does, if the model is disclosed as AI and the operator passes an ID check¹³¹⁴¹⁵. A disguised model, or a real woman’s footage, puts the account and its unpaid balance at risk¹³²⁴.

Tools cost roughly $19 to $150 a month; the lower figure, for Higgsfield, the image tool the tweet names, could not be re-confirmed³²⁴³.

To tell early (our judgement): if your first 20 to 30 subscribers pay only the subscription, each is worth about $10 a month to you after the fee (our sum, at the $12.50 average price one report gives without a basis)³¹.

Who else makes money from it

The platforms take their 20% whatever the operator’s result⁵¹⁰.

Sellers of guides, kits and courses are paid up front. Wired and 404 Media bought a $220 course by “Professor EP”, who says he operates the Pellegrini account²⁶.

The second tweet, from @aiofmgod (25 June 2026, 2,159 views), tells of a $497 kit with about 45 sales a month, and quotes its seller: “I realized 90% of Aì 0FM operators quit within 60 days” (“Aì 0FM” is the author’s spelling of AI OFM, this scheme)¹². The story is second-hand; the 90% is an anecdote, not data².

Neither tweet’s text shows proof of the income it states¹.
