Adult stars can make a pretty penny online. The average creator makes about 133 per month, but this figure is skewed by top earners, who can make millions annually, while the majority earn significantly less, with some making just a few dollars a month.

Factors influencing earnings include a creator's popularity and audience size, as well as the exclusive content they offer. They use methods like pay-per-view posts and direct messages, in addition to subscriptions.
