How to create your own AI Influencer and make money

In this article, we share a guide on how to create your own AI model and how and how much you can earn from it

Ways to earn money from a virtual model

AI models can earn in the same ways that regular models earn.

Promoting an account to advertise as an Influencer

You need to create and promote your virtual model account. It can be any platforms Instagram, TikTok, even OnlyFans. The main task is to attract a solvent audience, for the sake of which brands will buy advertising from you.

You can create a model of local format, that is, specifically for the desired region. For example, it will be much easier to promote the account of a beautiful AI model from one city than to promote the same model on a national scale. In addition, a “regional” model can bring more targeted traffic to your business.

Posting adult content on paid services

This can be OnlyFans, Boosty, Patreon, Fanvue, Fansly, TonPlace. Here the earnings will rather be based on paid subscriptions, but you can add affiliate links to your profile. This method is worth testing in any case, as the topic with AI models on OnlyFans has been gaining popularity for the last couple of years. For example, AI analyst Alex Valaitis believes that by 2025, about half of the popular OnlyFans accounts will belong to men. But the content of these accounts will consist entirely of AI-generated images of women.

Collecting donations

To do this, just specify in the profile header the details of a bank card or cryptocurrency wallet. On the plus side, you can collect donations and advertise your business at the same time. To make users donate more often, think of goals and dreams for which the AI model collects money. For example, for a new computer or a video card.

How much you can earn with an AI model

It all depends on how much effort the creator puts into the development of the model and its accounts. For example, the creator of sisters Emily and Fiona Pellegrini earned more than $10 thousand for the first 6 weeks after registration on the Fanvue platform (analog of OnlyFans). Moreover, this is the earnings of only one of the sisters – Emily.

Fiona’s account has 203k followers, and in the profile header there is a link to OnlyFans to collect paid subscriptions.

Another AI model, Aitana Lopez, has over 362k followers on Instagram. She was developed by The Clueless team from Barcelona, which specializes in creating AI humans. On average, the girl brings her authors from 3 to 10 thousand euros a month.

Instructions on how to create an AI model

The first step is to think through what your model should look like. Study popular Instagram and TikTok accounts, see which model looks are most popular. Or go the opposite way – choose a more open niche, for example, there are few popular plus-size AI models on the internet right now.
