How to Split Revenue in OnlyFans Collabs
Here's how to handle revenue splitting:
1. Common Split Options
Common ways to split revenue:
- 50/50 Split: Equal split, most common
- Based on Subscriber Count: Larger creator gets more
- Based on Contribution: Who did more work
- Fixed Amount: One person pays the other
- No Money Exchange: Just cross-promotion
Choose a split that feels fair to both parties.
2. Discuss Before Starting
Always discuss revenue split before creating content:
- Don't assume it's 50/50
- Be clear about expectations
- Agree on split before shooting
- Get it in writing if possible
- Avoid misunderstandings
Clear discussions prevent problems later.
3. Track Sales
Track sales to ensure fair payment:

- Calculate split accurately
- Pay on time
Tracking sales ensures everyone gets paid fairly.
4. Handle Payments
Handle payments professionally:
- Pay on agreed timeline
- Use secure payment methods

5. Consider No Money Exchange
Some collabs don't involve money:

- Simpler arrangement
Not all collabs need money exchange. Sometimes cross-promotion is enough.
At TP MGMT, we help our creators handle revenue splitting professionally. We know how to structure fair agreements.
