What Are Whales on OnlyFans?

Before we talk about where to find them, let's understand what whales are:

Definition of Whales

Whales are high-paying subscribers who spend significantly more than average subscribers. They're called "whales" because they're the big fish—the subscribers who make up a large portion of your income.

Whales typically:

• Spend hundreds or thousands per month
• Buy expensive custom content regularly
• Tip generously
• Stay subscribed for long periods
• Engage heavily with your content

While most subscribers might spend $10-50 per month, whales can spend $500-5,000+ per month.

Why Whales Matter

Whales matter because:

• They Make Up Most of Your Income: Often 20% of subscribers make up 80% of income
• They're More Loyal: They stay subscribed longer
• They Buy More: They purchase expensive custom content
• They Tip More: They're generous with tips
• They're Less Price-Sensitive: They're willing to pay premium prices

Finding even a few whales can significantly increase your OnlyFans income.

At TP MGMT, we help our creators find and attract whales. We know which platforms work best and how to convert potential whales into high-paying subscribers.
