Reddit is a great muse for new business ideas and ventures. So we decided to fish out some of the most popular NSFW Subreddits that adult entrepreneurs have been making money from. Just to preface this, if you’re not into profiting off of adult content then this might not be the article for you.
For the most part, creating content is key, but it doesn't always mean getting in front of the camera if that's not your style. There is a diverse range of ways to make money through NSFW subreddits, so let's get stuck in!
Is one of the most popular porn subreddits on the site with over 3.6 million members. Which should be seen as a potential 3.6 million new fans of your adult content. The main formula that seems to have demonstrated success is to create some adult content of yourself, mainly nude pics and masturbation, but don’t be afraid to get creative. The natural and impromptu nature of the content shown on there seems to be what people appreciate most, even if it took you two hours to get that right angle.
The aim is to post as much content as regularly as you can in order to build a small following. Most of the successful users make sure to get their face in for more popularity, after all, you want them to be able to find you online. Once your following is good enough and are seeing good upvotes and engagement you should be uploading content to your own subreddit and promoting it. You want your subreddit to become the number one place to find your adult content to nurture and grow a loyal audience. Throw in a few fan suggestion uploads from time to time and hey presto! We have a fan base!
Obviously, this process will take some hard work and dedication but there is no real cap on the amount of viral buzz you can stir when the people like you. At this point, we should be looking to guide the audience towards your own personal website where they can pay to unlock exclusive content and engage with you, on your terms. Alternatively, you can direct your audience towards sites like Onlyfans and Patreon but of course, you are at the mercy of their rules and regulations.
Here is an alternative method to get involved in some NSFW Subreddit business and still keep your clothes on. For those of you out there that are artistically talented, drawing hentai and posting it on Reddit can be a legitimate way to start getting paid for your work. Similar to the method we previously mentioned we need to build a following.
Most artists post their work onto the r/hentai subreddit to try and get some engagement. Granted the subreddit has 2.3 million members but the volume of content on there can get quite saturated and it can be difficult to stand out. Not to say that you won’t acquire some fans doing this but they really have to be drawn to your characters, concepts and art style.
One way to gain some traction quickly is to specialise in a more specific genre of hentai like r/futanari, r/thickhentai or r/westernhentai. These subreddits still have a good following and offer the opportunity to have your style associated with a loyal fetish fanbase. Again we want to eventually build up our own subreddit to start monetising our hard work.
Commissioning your artwork through Reddit isn’t as common but still possible. Many successful hentai artists promote their work on Reddit but commission through alternative sites such as:
If this is more your speed then break out the tablet’s and get drawing!
This is exactly what it says on the tin. The subreddit is dedicated to the marvellously messy fetish known as sploshing. Now, allow me to remove the look of utter confusion off your face by explaining what sploshing actually is. As well as being extremely fun to say, the word sploshing is the term given to fetishised use of food, drink and well… anything else that you can make a mess with. Within the subreddit, you will be able to find all weird and wonderful images of baked beans funnelling between cleavage as well as cake and slime matted models having fun.
If you’ve stocked up on detergent and don't mind cleaning cream out of your hair then this may well be an angle for you to make money through NSFW subreddits. Not to sound like a broken record but you will need to be posting content onto the r/wetandmessy subreddit in order to build up your own following. We can then use this to promote various means of pay-to-unlock content. The good news is, however, with this being a fetish on the rise it’s a good opportunity to capitalise on a niche and gain some great exposure!
Another option for the avid writers among us is selling erotica. For the most part, getting your work exposed to a big audience can be difficult. But, using the r/eroticliterature we can reach an audience of 200k members just waiting to be turned on by the latest steamy stories your imagination has turned out.
Writers in the subreddit that see success usually write dedicated chapters just for Reddit. There are endless kinks that receive love on the forum: cuckolding, pet play, kitchen sex, table sex and any other location you can think of! So, let your imagination run wild and find your niche. Posting consistently and catering for the comments and suggestions is often a great way to build a good relationship with your audience. Ultimately promoting later chapters of your successful stories on your own subreddit is the best move to develop the fanbase.
Before we jump in both feet first we should probably discuss a few of the dos and don’ts of erotica writing for those who are unfamiliar:
One more important thing to note, before you’re bored to death, is when writing your own erotica to make sure that you brand it well. It doesn’t mean you have to make it the most unique sex story in the world but having your own style and letting the people know what to expect from you makes it much easier to promote. Some of the best places to get your work out there besides the r/eroticliterature subreddit are Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.
Now, all we have to do is monetise it. The best ways to go about it are to create your own website where you sell your erotica. Most of your fans should already be acquainted with your works but still, keep a good portfolio on there too for external readers. Alternatively, there are a whole host of options for publishing your work. Places like Amazon have plenty of short erotic stories available for Kindle. Independent magazines and publications accept erotica all the time, big names like Cosmopolitan, Lulu and BDSM Cafe could pay you for your work!
If you happen to be a furry lover, good at drawing furries or even a furry yourself, then this subreddit might be the one! Just a quick rundown on furries for those interested; a furry is an individual especially interested in anthropomorphic animal cartoons. People often strongly identify as furries and create their own furry identities with their own “fursona”. Furry fans create their own outfits to represent their furry self and meet up to socialise at various meetups and conventions.
Understandably the infatuation with furries means that there is a sexual attraction to the anthropomorphic creatures and each other whilst in character. That’s where you come in! The NSFW furry subreddit r/furryporn is fast growing and has gained 75k members in the short space of time that they’ve been around. The thread is filled with naughty cartoons and animations of furries getting busy. If this is within your artistic repertoire then there is a huge market of furry lovers willing to pay top dollar for you to bring their furry fantasy to life.
Usually, being a furry is a massive part of their identities. A part that can only be brought to life by someone's artistic abilities. When you love something you are willing to spend lots of money on it and stats show the average furry earns upwards of $31,000 a year. So it's definitely possible to earn good money drawing furry porn.
With animating furries, people can be drawn to your art style and creativity similar to hentai. Therefore, it can be helpful to find your niche be it a particular animal, cartoon character or fetish. Let people know what to expect from you. As the community is growing, getting into it now is the perfect opportunity to become a household name on the thread. By posting and building a following it's quite likely people will be reaching out to you to draw their furries. This might sound like working for free now but think of it as advertising. Be sure to link them to all of your social media that allows adult content like Tumblr or Twitter.
A way to monetise your furry fanbase is to advertise on Fiverr or your own website showing your original artworks. DeviantArt, Fur Affinity are a great place to put your portfolio as lots of people go there to find artists to draw their fursonas. If they like your style then it's high time they hire you for a gig. If you think you can do furry artwork justice then put yourself out there!
A different route to making money in the furry industry is to become a content creator. Most furries love gaming and pop culture so it’s no surprise they have a large following on streaming sites like Twitch. Tens of thousands of people tune in every day to watch their favourite furries play video games, chat, draw furry art and make costumes. Some of the most popular furry streamers like “shenryyr” have almost 100k followers on twitch which is certainly enough to earn a comfortable living.
If streaming and content creation tickle your fancy, find your spot and get going. Twitch caters to furries by including a directory for people trying to find furry streamers. Gaining enough traction will mean that you too can become a member of team furry.
Ahegao is a term in Japanese pornography used to describe a facial expression of exaggerated ecstasy or enjoyment. And as of lately, it has become your new moneymaker. Ahegao faces consist of rolling/crossed eyes, a wide-open mouth, protruding tongue, drooling and… you get the picture. Ahegao is commonly expressed in hentai drawings so this is another niche for the artists to get posting on.
Not only do audiences like to see a detailed drawing of an anime girl performing this but real-life pornstars and up and coming adult actresses of the next generation have been carrying out a killer ahegao face to grip their viewers. The subreddit r/realahegao dedicated to actual people pulling these faces has 460k followers which is more than the r/ahegao original thread featuring anime girls.
What we can learn from this is that lots of people want to see cute girls pulling these faces. The money-making here will have to be through posting on the popular ahegao subreddits to gain exposure for your own subreddit. From here you can direct them to your Patreon or Onlyfans much like the ahegao queen Belle Delphine did herself back in her heyday. When it comes to ahegao it may not even be necessary to show below your neck on camera as it’s the face they come for after all. Thus Patreon can be a better alternative for those who wish to control the content they show their members. Of course, for those who want to incentivise higher tiers of payment for more “exclusive” pictures and videos then either platform works fine.
We’d suggest getting in front of the mirror and getting that practice in!
Don’t give up on those ahegao faces just yet as you might need them for this next subreddit. Popular amongst the anime and gaming community, NSFW cosplay has become a genuine method of making money online. There are a bunch of subreddits for NSFW cosplaying; r/CosplayLewd, r/CosplayNsfw and r/CosplayPornVideos all of which have more than 100k members each. Just think of the audiences we could reach.
But what does NSFW Cosplay entail? Cosplaying is the practice of dressing up as a character from a film, book or video game. NSFW Cosplaying on the other hand is doing the exact same thing, only sexier. Adult cosplayers will produce content ranging from lewd and nude photos to masturbation and full-on sex scenes dressed as the pop culture characters of their choice. Oftentimes they cosplay what’s popular or what their fans are dying to see, so being connected with your fans is essential.
Many of you might be wondering what should I cosplay? And the answer is, it’s really up to you. Successful adult cosplayers can be drawn to characters with naturally sexualised costumes like certain characters Widowmaker from Overwatch or Chun Li from Streetfighter. Whilst others have made the most non-sexual characters like Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter sexy as hell.
Adult cosplayers have found a home on Onlyfans creating content and making porn in general but there are other ways to participate in the action without having sex on screen. Cosplayers make good money live streaming on Twitch by playing video games, chatting and making costumes on stream. The community of geeky guys and gals love it and it's a good way to build a following.
Furthermore, cosplayers opt to sell old costumes both for the sheer hard work and accuracy of the costume but also the fetish of buying used underwear. The fantasy of owning a pair of previously worn undergarments of their favourite cosplayer can be gold in the eyes of the fans.
If you consider taking this cosplay porn thing seriously then it might be an idea to consider selling your videos and clips. Sites like Manyvids offer this very service where you can list your videos for adoring fans to pay per vid.
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. This refers to a series of sounds and experiences that help an individual relax, wind down into bed and feel “tingles”. Common sounds consist of tapping, scratching, whispers, softly spoken, shakers and many more. But ASMRtists, professional ASMR performers, are always on the lookout for more unique and interesting ways to provoke a tingling sensation in their listener's body. However, within the last few years, ASMR has taken a rather sexual turn which is no surprise when a beautiful ASMRtist is whispering all the things that are great about you into your ear.
We should probably explain that tingles are described as a pleasant fuzzy sensation throughout the body that is achieved through listening to ASMR. But the goal of NSFW ASMR can be somewhat different.
The appeal of ASMR to sex is it can make people feel cared for and safe which can be a major turn-on on its own. Secondly, many aspects of ASMR simulate foreplay. The quiet breathy talking, close up camera angle and kissing sounds help to calm and arouse a lot of listeners. So the next step was simply logical. Make an ASMR video that goes the whole nine yards!
The r/nsfwasmr subreddit is full of performers who cater for the fantasies and triggers of their listeners. Popular sounds include; dirty talk, roleplays, blowjobs, pussy sounds, moaning and much more. Here's how you can get in on the action and start making money. Creating an ASMR video takes a fair amount of effort. You’ll need recording equipment, an understanding of lighting and most importantly a decent microphone to capture the audio. But, once you’ve got a grasp of this the fruits of your labour will be worth it.
Where you put your videos is entirely dependent on the type of content you make. For NSFW content it can be recommended to go with the advertising on social media, Reddit and ultimately linking to an Onlyfans. The method has been tried and tested numerous times with big stars like ASMR Maddy acquiring quite the following.
However, ASMR can be as sexy or as sensible as you like and for this reason, it offers the opportunity to produce content for YouTube and Twitch. If you still want to be known for sexy ASMR don’t worry as most of the popular ASMRtists are fetishised and it's also no coincidence that they are all drop-dead gorgeous. On YouTube, ASMR was the fifth most searched term so there is certainly a demand for it. Not to mention the Twitch metrics for ASMR streamers are insane. There are thousands of guys and girls on Twitch just waiting to throw their money in your direction for whispering into their ears.
So, if you want a piece of the ASMR pie, break out the microphones and give it a try!
Hopefully, these NSFW subreddits have lit an entrepreneurial flame in you and given you some money-making ideas. Whatever you decide to do we wish you all the best with your hustle!
