> Complete breakdown of subscription, tip, content, and referral earnings for real creators — you keep 80%

As a content creator on onlyvibe, you earn USD from four revenue streams: subscriptions, tips, content unlocks, and referrals. You keep **80% of everything you earn**. Period. Same as OnlyFans — 80% creator, 20% platform. No tiers, no catches.

## Revenue overview

| Revenue Source       | Your Cut    | Service Fee |

| **Subscriptions**    | 80%         | 20%         |
| **Tips**             | 80%         | 20%         |
| **Content unlocks**  | 80%         | 20%         |

<Info>
  Every revenue stream uses the same 80/20 split. No tiers, no complicated formulas. You keep 80% from day one.

## Subscription earnings (80%)

Subscriptions are your most predictable revenue stream. Fans pay a recurring monthly price to access your subscriber-only content.

| Subscription Price | You Earn (80%) | Service Fee (20%) |
| ------------------ | -------------- | ----------------- |
| \$0.50             | \$0.40         | \$0.10            |
| \$1.00             | \$0.80         | \$0.20            |
| \$2.50             | \$2.00         | \$0.50            |
| \$5.00             | \$4.00         | \$1.00            |

### Scaling subscription revenue

| Subscribers | Price  | Monthly Earnings (80%) |
| ----------- | ------ | ---------------------- |
| 10          | \$1.00 | \$8.00                 |
| 50          | \$1.00 | \$40.00                |
| 100         | \$1.00 | \$80.00                |
| 250         | \$1.00 | \$200.00               |

<Tip>
  Subscriptions compound. Every new subscriber adds recurring revenue. Focus on both acquisition (growing your audience) and retention (keeping subscribers engaged with consistent content).

## Tip earnings (80%)

Tips use the same 80/20 split as all other revenue.

| Tip Amount | You Earn (80%) | Service Fee (20%) |
| ---------- | -------------- | ----------------- |
| \$0.25     | \$0.20         | \$0.05            |
| \$0.50     | \$0.40         | \$0.10            |
| \$1.00     | \$0.80         | \$0.20            |
| \$2.50     | \$2.00         | \$0.50            |

### Maximizing tip revenue

* **Build a compelling tip menu** with 5-8 items at varied price points
* **Deliver promptly** — fans who get quick fulfillment tip again
* **Include low and high ticket items** — $0.10 priority replies to $2.50 custom videos
* **Mention your tip menu** in posts and DMs naturally

See [Tip Menu Setup](/real/tip-menu) for detailed guidance.

## Content unlock earnings (80%)

When fans unlock your premium content, the same 80/20 split applies:

| Recipient         | Share |
| ----------------- | ----- |
| **You (creator)** | 80%   |
| **Service fee**   | 20%   |

| Content Unlock Price | You Earn (80%) |
| -------------------- | -------------- |
| \$0.25               | \$0.20         |
| \$0.50               | \$0.40         |
| \$1.00               | \$0.80         |

<Info>
  If you set an unlock price of $0.50, you receive $0.40 per unlock. AI services (image generation, video generation, voice messages) are platform services that fans pay for directly — no creator split on those.

## Referral and bonus earnings

| Method               | Amount                         | Frequency                       |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
| Referral signup      | \$0.25                         | Per new user who uses your code |
| Affiliate commission | 20% of referred user purchases | Ongoing (30-day cookie)         |

## Monthly earnings example

Here is a realistic scenario for a moderately successful real creator:

| Revenue Source                | Calculation        | Monthly Earnings |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------ | ---------------- |
| 75 subscribers at \$1.00      | 75 x \$1.00 x 80%  | \$60.00          |
| 40 tips averaging \$0.50      | 40 x \$0.50 x 80%  | \$16.00          |
| 200 content unlocks at \$0.25 | 200 x \$0.25 x 80% | \$40.00          |
| 15 referral signups           | 15 x \$0.25        | \$3.75           |
| **Total**                     |                    | **\$119.75**     |
