I hear this question very often, so let’s break it down:
This post is for models who want to work independently, as well as agencies and managers.
Obvious expenses:
• Traffic — for an account to function properly, you need at least 50+ fans per day. That’s 1,500 per month, with an average fan costing $0.70 — around $1,050.
If you want “golden mountains” right away, multiply that by at least 3. But I don’t recommend starting with such a budget if you have no experience — you’ll most likely just burn through it.
• Hiring a model (if you don’t have one) — from $500 to $1,500 at fair market rates. According to some scouts, it could be anywhere from $500 to infinity.
• Hiring/Training sexting staff or team lead services — $300–600.
If you’re starting from scratch, it’s practically impossible to train sexting staff on your own.
Less obvious expenses:
• Traffic that doesn’t work out (bad conversions, poor ROI, technical issues, etc.) — around $500 (a modest estimate; it can be higher).
• Fixed payments for the model and sexting staff — about $1,000, since during the first months the account usually doesn’t generate income, and they might leave otherwise.
• Proxies, extensions, servers, Twitter/Reddit accounts, etc. — about $300.
• Withdrawal fees — about 5%. For example, at $3k revenue, that’s $150.
These are the most obvious “unforeseen” expenses, but in reality, there will be more.
Total: around $3,800 under the most favorable circumstances.
Payback period: roughly 3–4 months, again assuming favorable conditions. In fact, there are very few businesses with such fast ROI and scalability, which is why the adult niche is still very attractive. But make no mistake: there is no such thing as free money here.
