Top Content to Make Money on OnlyFans: Insights from a 0.1% Creator
The internet is full of advice on what to post on OnlyFans—teasers, daily promotions, and polls. But which types of content lead to significant financial gains? Let’s face it: no one is on OnlyFans as a hobby. If you’re reading this article, you’re likely contemplating creating an OnlyFans account (or you’ve already started) with the goal of wild financial success. You want to make money. Period.
In this article, we’ll explore a question that all creators are asking: what should you post on OnlyFans to make money? We’ve gathered valuable insights from the creator behind the SpicyMillionaire OnlyFans Guides, who has achieved remarkable success on the platform, earning $8 million over five years.
This article focuses on the best types of content to post. Check out our main article here for a comprehensive overview of how to make money on OnlyFans.
Understanding the Platform
Iggy Azalea is a top-earner on OnlyFans
While OnlyFans isn’t limited to adult content, it’s the most popular niche. Creators in other areas can still thrive—for example, comedian Jiaoying Summers has amassed over 63,000 subscribers for her comedy videos (her subscription is free). Niches like cooking and fitness are also popular. Chefs like Cooking with Classie post detailed recipes and step-by-step videos for followers who pay $5 per month for access.
However, many of these creators focus on building a community and fostering deeper connections with their audiences on the platform. If your primary interest is financial gain, examining statistics is essential:
70% of creators on OnlyFans post adult content.
The platform’s audience is 87% male.
Female creators earn 78% more than their male counterparts.
44% of the site’s traffic comes from the United States.
Blac Chyna was the highest-paid OnlyFans creator in 2023, earning an estimated $20 million monthly with a $19.99 subscription price.
These statistics make it clear: female creators posting adult content are the highest earners on OnlyFans. The top 15 earners on the platform, such as Blac Chyna, Bella Thorne, Cardi B, Iggy Azalea, Coco Austin, Mia Khalifa, Bhad Bhabie, Tana Mongeau, and Erica Mena, all post adult content. The pattern is undeniable.
That said, success is still achievable in other niches, but the numbers speak for themselves. Statistically, you’re better off heeding the data.
Now, let’s explore what types of content you should post as an adult creator on OnlyFans to maximize your revenue.
Content Variety Equals Revenue Diversity
If we were to distill the essence of this guide, it would be: post a diverse range of content. Different types of content attract different fans with varied preferences. Experiment with multiple formats to appeal to a broader audience and foster loyalty. Once you’ve gathered enough data, identify the most effective content types and dominate that niche.
Exclusive Photos: The Bread & Butter of The Platform
Themed Photoshoots are one of the many content types you can post
Exclusive photos are the backbone of OnlyFans. Fans subscribe to gain access to unique content they can’t find elsewhere. The more personal and distinctive your photos are, the more valuable they become. Explore different types of photo content, such as:
Behind-the-scenes shots
Themed photo shoots
Custom requests
These photos keep fans engaged and provide a steady revenue stream.
Videos: The Big Money Makers
One second of video content equates to 30 pictures. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a one-minute video is worth 1.8 million! Videos are lucrative because they offer intimacy and immersion. Types of videos that work well include:
Day-in-the-life clips (with a vulnerable or sexually intimate touch)
Professionally edited videos involving storytelling, role-play, or cosplay
Videos provide a richer experience, making them the most profitable content type on the platform.
Pay-Per-View (PPV) Messages
PPV messages are a game-changer on OnlyFans. This feature allows you to send locked content to your fans, who must pay to unlock and view it. Monthly, Google receives hundreds of searches asking, “What do people post on OnlyFans to make money?” The answer involves PPV. Teasers that build anticipation can drive fans to pay for more content.
The Power of Live Streams
Live streaming is an underutilized feature that can be highly profitable. Livestreaming offers fans the chance to connect with you in real time, adding a personal touch. During these sessions, consider:
Q&A segments
Themed performances (like role-play or holiday-inspired streams)
Workouts and interactive challenges
Don’t forget to promote tipping for shoutouts or special requests during these sessions.
Subscription Tiers
Subscription bundles cater to fans with varying budgets and are one of the most effective ways to make money on OnlyFans. While managing more than three tiers can become overwhelming, starting with two—a basic tier ($5-$10/month) and a VIP tier ($30+/month). Always deliver exceptional value in the VIP tier to prevent cancellations.
If starting with multiple tiers feels daunting, begin with one and build up as you go.
Personal Interactions to Build Loyalty
People subscribe to your OnlyFans because they want a personal connection. There’s plenty of free nude content online, but what sets your account apart is you. Strengthen this bond by:
Replying to messages
Creating polls
Offering exclusive chats
Fans love feeling seen and appreciated, which boosts loyalty and retention.
Riding Trends
Keep up with trends by dressing up as popular characters from TV shows
Keep up with trending topics and seasonal themes. When a holiday, a fellow creator’s video or a character are trending in your domain, people are going to click on it. Valentines, Christmas, Halloween etc can all be exploited for views.
You can also dress up as popular characters from trending shows and video games, roleplay around news and events and use trending, viral accessories and outfits to keep your audience hooked.
Summing it up:
Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or Halloween-themed content
Dressing up as trending characters from popular shows or games
Role-playing around current news and viral stories
Trending Outfits and accessories
Merch & Digital Products
Supplement your OnlyFans income by selling digital and physical products. For instance, SpicyMillionaire has successfully expanded her revenue by selling guidebooks on how to maximize earnings on OnlyFans. After five years as a top 0.1% creator and earning more than $8 million, she has discovered the strategies that work. Her guidebooks share insights on how she transformed from an ordinary person battling drug and alcohol addiction to one of OnlyFans’ highest earners.
She didn’t start with a massive social media following—in fact, she had no online presence at all. Her success came from understanding the industry and playing the game strategically. Now, she has 1.8 million Instagram followers and 130,000+ followers on X (formerly Twitter), which drive subscribers to her OnlyFans account.
Summing It Up: Don’t Wing It—Learn From the Best
Not every creator is making loads of money from OnlyFans. The top 10% of OnlyFans accounts generate 73% of the platform’s revenue, while the average creator earns just $180 per month. If you’re going to invest the effort and take on the potential personal toll of posting adult content, make sure you’re maximizing your earnings.
Success on OnlyFans isn’t a game of chance—it’s about using data, understanding your audience, and posting the right content in the right way. Anyone can achieve financial success on the platform, just like the creator behind the SpicyMillionaire OnlyFans Guides.
