Journey to $100k as an AI Influencer

[RedShark]

Congratulations on the earning of this week! I'm curious about how much Fanvue followers and how much subscribers do you have? Also on Patreon and Instagram, could you share stats with us?

Hi everyone!

I've had a five figure exit from one of my journeys here, I sold my Keto-based affiliate site after I was done with it and used it to fund other opportunities. So I figured it was time to do another one and this time set a goal for a six figure gain. I'm a software developer by profession, but been doing marketing as my passion/side business since 2012 or so. Most of my projects have been around using bots/automation to drive traffic from social media to my sites. This time I'm taking a different approach. 100% whitehat, no bots, no coding, just pure social media marketing. With that introduction out of the way, let's get into the journey!

So this isn't a fresh journey, I have been doing this almost five months now and do have earnings which we'll get into shortly. I created an AI model off a random idea I saw on Reddit while exploring automating AI images for a blog idea I had. Needless to say, once I saw the kind of images you could create I shelved the blog idea and dove in headfirst to try out this new idea. I learned how to use a local installation of Stable Diffusion to create a girl with a consistent face and body type. I'd say I probably spent a week just trying new things before eventually finding settings I like. If anyone is wondering, the UI I went with is Comfy UI though I see a lot of fellow influencers use A111.

Once I had a girl created that I liked and thought was marketable, I started up an Instagram account. I didn't really expect much traction, especially since I quickly found out there are A LOT of AI influencers out there. Growth was slow at first, but quickly picked up as I networked with other girls and used the social media growth tactics I had been using on other accounts for years. I think my first 1k followers took about a month, but the next 1k took two weeks or so. I reached 10k followers somewhere between my second and third month (IG insights suck, so hard to know exactly when things happened). I also have a Twitter that has grown roughly half as quickly as my IG. I'd say 70-80% of the traffic to my paid sites is from IG though.

My current growth is around 300-500 new followers on IG per day with occasional spikes of 1k+, while Twitter is basically totally random.

I won't get into specific follower numbers here, but let's talk ballpark and look at where I am currently.
IG Followers: 40k-50k
Twitter Followers: 15-25k

So let's get into the good stuff, monetization! My influencer is monetized by selling adult content on Patreon and Fanvue (OnlyFans alternative that allows AI models).

My Patreon makes around $2.5k-$3k per month. My Fanvue makes around $1k per month. I also recently released a chatbot that has made me around $300 in a month. I also make money from tips that make up around $6k of the total earnings so far.

Total Earnings: $25k

So not a bad start to the journey when I'm 1/4th of the way to the goal! I'm hoping to be close to $100k by the end of 2024 and I think I'm on pace to make it. Hoping to document more of the process here and also use this journey to help keep me honest and motivated like I did with my last journey. Open to answering questions within reason too, so ask away!

Feels good to actively be back on BHW, missed you guys.

Interesting, does your chatbot do real-time translations?
Also do AI models do well in other fields?

Thanks! I dropped some stats in the OP, but don't really want to dox myself by revealing more.

I don't use the chatbot anymore, but I think it did.

No idea! I've only done adult content. I'm sure someone could figure out a good twist to use them for other stuff. Maybe pushing crypto? Or anything else male-focused

Yeah well you have a base of followers you can push crypto and do promotion for others too, all people need is a good base then there are no limits

have you thought about using telegram as a funnel ? Apparentely many people don't convert through app like fanvue / OF because many don't havre an account and don't want to create one. O they go on the elegram, then see teasing pictures, and on the telegram you redirect to your of / fanvue page.

Also i have a question about your PPV pricing. I guess you are making your paywall cheap around 3-9 dollars, then you make 80% of money through PPV selling scripts. But, your scripts, how much are they if i may ask ? For exemple on onlyfans, you can qend teasing picture of a script where the model is on her bed in panties, then she is handbra, then send her boobs (still free), then the real thing starts with full naked picture, then dildo usage etc... From this using dildo you can generally charge 50-80dollars because it's a video, but here with AI, if you are not using leaked content, you re exclusively selling pictures. So I guess you can't sell high price ppv ? Or am i wrong ?

Very true! I've considered it, still floating ideas with people who has larger reach than me. We're always trying to find more ways to monetize

I do use my telegram as a funnel it's worked well

I follow that exact model, but with pictures I create. People still pay that price even though it's not video.

very interesting. I guess I'll start my own AI model, I've been using all the AI you can think of now and know marketing and OF biz. I'll read your complete thread. If you want to exchange on possible strategies or AI tech i'm there

Also, Would it be possible for you to create an image of another girl with your current comfyui setup to see the photorealistic level of your images ? Or do you wanna a keep it secret ? I want to see the level of realism behind your growth success. It would be really helpful. So not your lora, just a random girl or even a man

My style is very unique so I'd rather not share too much, sorry. But it is very realistic. Imperfections make things seem more real, don't try to chase the airbrushed look

Good luck with the journey.

no problem i totally understand !

 

[Elthibert]

no problem i totally understand !

Also I have a question considering your experience.

Is sexyness THAT important over realism or not ?
Because, the most realistic females I can make in term of facial exepressions are through midjourney, then I can change their body with Stable diffusion. So for anything SFW, MJ is hands down the best, you can't even tell the girls are not real.

Once the other side, it will be a pain in the ass to create Private content cause i won't be able to get the exact same face if i then use stable diffusion to create NSFW / explicit content, even if i train a lora on this Midjourney face.

So my question is, shoud I go for stable diffusion even though it's less realistic ? Because first I can create overly sexy girl even for sfw content (wich is way way harder using midjourney, all the girl generated are flat/skinny), and second it will be way easier to create NSFW content, but people could tell that it's ai.

Are you aware of any CRM services for Fanvue? Like what Infloww or CreatorHero are for Onlyfans. I'm currently tracking everything in a Google sheet.

Best of luck and enjoy the your journey,

Is it me or Tiktok removes the posts that have Patreon or other links? I thought my image was removed because it was too spicy?

 

[lovetrain]

Hey

How do you get people to your fanvue and patreon? Are you adding a hint of something in your posts?
I'm really interested in how you do this.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think just adding the link in your bio isn't enough. And you can't link it directly under your pictures.

What is in your experience, a good way to bring insta guys to your paid pages?

I think you should stick with stable diffusion so you have more control

Do it!

I wish Ive been considering making one actually lol

Best of luck and enjoy the your journey,

I don't add any links to tiktok besides my link aggregator, so I'm not sure

Link in bio + stories. Guys will hunt down the link. I get a ton of clicks just from that.

Have you or anyone experienced this issue with a sudden decrease in reach? After I hit 1000 followers with my ai model, my reach suddenly dropped in all posts and stories; consequently, the engagement has also dropped. I've been posting pretty consistently too (3 times / day) along with having collaborators. Follower growth has also been slow at like maybe 5 net new followers a day after unfollows.

Is there a way to fix this? If it helps I used to have a direct link to my Patreon, but replaced it with a Linktree after hearing that is not recommended. My account status is good too with everything having a green checkmark. What could be the cause of this?
