Artificial intelligence is being actively implemented in various areas, ranging from marketing and advertising to traffic arbitrage. Using tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, and similar ones, you can automate many everyday tasks – from creating creatives to writing SEO materials.
Today, we will consider a modern trend – monetization of AI models. Let’s discuss the advantages and risks of this income method. We will demonstrate examples and present a list of tools for creating virtual avatars.
How AI models are developed
The technologies behind deepfakes and funny videos using FaceSwap are only a small part of neural networks’ achievements. Over the past six months, the AI modeling industry has been actively developing. A number of sources refer to virtual models as “competitors of OnlyFans,” but it is not worth making hasty conclusions. Commercialization of content with their participation is a difficult task, although there are several successful examples.
There are many platforms for creating AI models on the market, but they are far from perfect. To get a sufficiently realistic image, it is often necessary to perform from five to ten generations.
The leading tools for image creation are RenderNet and OnlyFakes. The desktop neural network Fooocus Stable Diffusion XL with console control is also popular. Some services are able to generate photos with elements of light eroticism that are suitable for subscription-based content platforms.
It’s impossible to create the illusion of a real person using a non-existent model – even the most advanced solutions have visual defects. As for video, this area still requires significant improvements – face replacement technology has not reached the required level.
Some enterprising webmasters manage to develop an AI influencer and earn income from it, but such cases are still rare. Viral materials and attention from big media help to achieve this.
How much do they earn on non-existent models
Everyone can understand the basic principles of neural networks, but only a few can create an effective content monetization strategy. Therefore, successful stories about the application of AI models are still rare.
One of the brightest examples is the project of the Spanish company The Clueless. They developed a virtual fitness model Aitana Lopez with pink hair. In seven months of posting on Instagram, they have gathered more than 300,000 followers.
The posts get thousands of likes and comments, and also cause a wide response in the media. The company creates AI models for advertising purposes and brand strengthening.
According to some sources, Aitana’s developers earn more than $10,000 per month thanks to the Telegram bot and other monetization tools. Currently, the girl has no accounts on OnlyFans and similar platforms.
Another successful example is Emily Pellegrini. In a short time, her Instagram account increased the number of followers to 280,000 and brought in more than $10,000 through FanVue. Currently, her activity on the platform has been suspended, and all her Instagram photos have been deleted.
Athletes and wealthy men often spam “girls” with dating offers. Some artificial intelligence experts predict that by 2025, almost half of the popular profiles on OnlyFans will belong to virtual models.
But there is an important point. OnlyFans and other leading platforms have a strict identity verification process that cannot be passed using fake documents. Besides, AI models are often blocked for violating the platform rules.
However, there is a solution! Content created with the help of neural networks can be placed on FanVue. This platform is the main alternative to OnlyFans and Fansly, where the generated images and videos are still free to access.
To create high-quality media content using the tools at hand, technical skills are required, and cloud platforms provide their capabilities for a fee. Thus, it is impossible to do without investing in the support of the AI model.
The current trend towards the widespread use of AI models can be integrated into arbitrage funnels. If implemented correctly, they can become an element of promotional campaigns in such affiliate marketing verticals as data, gut, gambling, and others. So, use them while they still give a good cashback.
