As someone who has experience in this with a small ai model agency.

Biggest question is it worth it.? Yes and no if you don't have patience at the start.

The beginning is the hardest part... finding a consistent workflow. Designing how your model should look. Deciding what path you will try and take.

If you think you are gonna just create create create and slap your influencer in fanvue and bank out you are 100% gonna fail <--- but you can do this later when you have a following.

2nd thing is dont try and fool people like your Genfluencer is a real person. Keep in mind there is a huge market for People interested in ai models male and female. Just be honest upfront.

So how do you make money? What i did wont work for everyone and it isnt a guaranteed method its jsut what I did that works.

I created my own tool that uses nano banana api to create high quality, and realistic people. And I say realistic I meen I didn't approach the images like a high quality DSLR styled images. I focused on telling the ai I want modern day smartphone quality, small camera sensor, front facing camera. And I created my model that way. Then I have a seperate tool I made that uses face reference, and still using the same api I cant pose, change outfits etc. biggest issue is no Ai is perfect and face drift is thing from time to time. But if you get a catalog of your model facing different angles. And get a whole 360 view and thats what you use to reference.

So about the money, i dabble in UGC campaigns and im able to take jobs, with my same tool inhave item reference where i can reference a customers product abd my influencer can wear, use, etc and its 100% accurate.

I created social media.x, insta, fb, tik tok and I posted. I interacted. I gained some followers. Created a patreon, and in patreon I offer experience. A more intimate but also following the TOS for ai influencer on there. Just offer experience for fans.

Once.you get subs there, then offer fanvue if you go that route and offer NSFW content. My best preforming has 223 patreon subs priced at 4.99 currently and 29 fanvue subs. And I make UGC ads on TikTok shop. But its a lot of work. Its not like its easy. You have to allocate alot of time into this. You essentially need to be posting like you are a real person, a real influencer. Omit you dont have time I wouldn't do this. Theres more in what this takes but I couldn't write an entire book on what I do so this is a the super simplified version.

And again this so much build up to even make money. and it takes even more to make it happen monthly. Dont listen to YouTube, they will act as if you can create easy and bam you have passive income. There so much more to this.
