How many followers to make money, work out your own number
There is no magic number. There is a simple formula, and you can fill it with your own assumptions.
The formula
Monthly income is your followers, times the share of them who subscribe, times what each subscriber pays in a month, minus the platform fee.
On SuperFan the fee is 20 percent and there is no monthly charge, so the last step is simply keeping 80 percent.
A worked example with made up inputs
Say you have 5,000 followers, you assume 1 percent subscribe, and each pays $10 a month. That is 50 subscribers and $500 paid by fans, of which you keep $400.
The inputs are an example, not a promise and not an average. Change them in the calculator to match your audience.
The share who care matters more than the total
An audience that comments, replies and asks for more tends to subscribe. There is no follower minimum on SuperFan, so you can start with the fans you have.
Questions about this
