Real numbers: AMIA Academy students who made $718 to $9,252 in one month, where the money comes from, what it costs and how to start free.
Between $718 and $9,252 in a month, in the AMIA Academy cases with screenshots. Most people earn less, or nothing, for weeks.
Subscriptions and paid content on Fanvue, brand deals, affiliates and UGC. Almost always from Instagram, TikTok and Threads traffic.
Creating your influencer: $0. Tools: from $29 a month on creame.ai. Fanvue keeps 20% of sales. The real cost is time: posting every day for months.
Spain's best-known virtual influencer, run by the agency The Clueless. The figures quoted for her come from her own agency, in 2023, and can't be checked.
An AI influencer can make anything from $0 to several thousand dollars a month. In the AMIA Academy cases with screenshots, the best month was $9,252.49 (July 2026) and one first month was $718.41. These are individual results: most people start by earning little or nothing for weeks.
The money doesn't come from the AI, it comes from the audience. First you grow on Instagram, TikTok or Threads; then you link to a subscription page like Fanvue, your own products or brands. Joel H., from the AMIA team, made $1.6K in 30 days with 18 active subscribers: you don't need a huge account, you need people who care.
The case the press loves, Aitana López, is an agency with brands behind it, and its figures are from 2023 and from the agency itself. To see what can happen if you start today, look at people who started from zero: the cases below.
Posting every day and with no paid ads, the account gained 19,505 new followers, with 2,362,610 plays and 963,014 accounts reached. — Jacson B., AMIA Academy student.
A reel of his AI model dressed as a doctor, with a hook in the caption, reached 2,096,055 views, 96.4% of them from people who didn't follow the account. — Paco H., AMIA Academy student.
The account reached 6,002,079 views in 30 days, 95.2% from non-followers, and grew to 43,599 followers; one post alone collected 28K likes and 2.2K shares. — Joel H., AMIA Academy team.
With his AI model he made several TikTok posts go viral: one reached 1,245,034 views and 115K likes, another passed 1 million with 91K likes. — Izan C., AMIA Academy student.
After coming back to the AMIA course, he got 327,998 Instagram views (95.6% non-followers) and 468K TikTok post views in two weeks. — Riuben M., AMIA Academy student.
His AI model Zarya Dark reached 100,000 Instagram followers with 175 posts and a verified account, after a lot of testing, analysis and strategy changes. — Joel H., AMIA Academy team.
There's no fixed figure. In the AMIA Academy cases with screenshots: $718.41 in a first month, the first $1.1K, $1.6K in 30 days, $4,600 in 30 days on Fanvue and $9,252.49 in July 2026. These are the best cases; most earn less, especially at the start.
Her agency, The Clueless, gave figures to the press in 2023. They come from the agency itself, they're three years old and there are brands behind her, so they won't tell you what you'd make starting today.
Mostly from subscriptions, paid messages and tips on platforms that accept AI creators, such as Fanvue. Also from brands, affiliate links, UGC and your own products. The traffic almost always comes from Instagram, TikTok and Threads.
There's no set time. Rafael H. added his link after passing 5,000 Instagram followers and made $718.41 in his first month. Artur P. made $1.5K in his first month and $9,252.49 in the second. Others take months.
There's no magic number. What counts is how many people pay, not how many follow: Joel H. (AMIA team) makes $1.6K in 30 days with 18 active subscribers. Rafael H. started charging at around 5,000 followers.
Creating the influencer on creame.ai is free. To produce every day: Starter $29 a month (900 credits), Pro $59 (2,000 credits and Publish) or Max $129 (5,000 credits). On Fanvue, the platform keeps 20% of what you sell.
Some students already bill thousands a month. It's not the norm and it's not guaranteed: it depends on your niche, your consistency and months of work. Start it as a side project and measure.
A real case: Dani M. made $4,600 in 30 days on Fanvue, with traffic from Instagram, TikTok, Threads and X. From what you sell, Fanvue keeps 20%. Most models earn less, especially in the first months.
