Why You Should Trust Me
My name is Goddess Lila and I'm a top ranking findom goddess on AVN Stars (my profile can be viewed here). I've been using this site for over a year and very familiar with all site features.
My highest rank on the site so far has been #6 (based on earnings) for July, August & Sept of 2021. I earned a total of $131,018 from just AVN Stars alone as of Nov 29, 2021.
What Is AVNStars aka AVNstars?
AVN Stars (also known as AVNStars) is one of the newest and fastest growing platforms online and it's generally always advantageous to start building a fan base on a new site before it takes off. AVN Stars offers numerous ways to generate income including selling subscription based memberships, receiving tips, selling clips, broadcasting live and promoting their referral program.

Is AVN Stars A Good OnlyFans Alternative?
There are numerous OnlyFans alternative sites available but AVN Stars is one of the more viable and reputable one around for sex workers. It is superior to OnlyFans due to its homepage and explore page which makes it easy to find new customers. With OnlyFans, creators were responsible for driving their own traffic 100%. AVN Stars offers traffic which is a huge bonus to any creator. In addition, AVN Stars is an adult oriented platform so you don't have to worry about being booted off the site.
AVN Stars Explore Page
One of the main differences between AVN Stars and OF is the "Explore" page. This feature makes it easy to browse and discover new content creators. Clicking "Explore All brings up all of the latest updates or "free posts" which may include photos or videos. There are many dommes and findomes on the site which means you'll find lots of loser porn and findom porn on the Trending page.
The "Stories" tab enables browsing via individual stories while "Clips" allows the user to discover the latest released clips. Users have the ability to "follow" and "subscribe" to profiles. Some profiles may be free while others may have more content behind a paywall.
AVN Stars Top List & Rank
AVN Stars features a top list which is based primarily on earnings and can be viewed here with the rankings listed from left to right. AVN Stars has stated that rankings may also be influenced by other factors such as number of subscribers but from personal experience as a top ranking model, it appears to be 99% based on earnings (this is just my own observation). The higher up you go on the top list the more traffic you get from the list itself. The top 10 list is now also featured under the heading "Trending Stars" for visitors who aren't logged in as well.
Your rank is visible in the top left corner of your profile. Creators have the option of making their AVN Stars private.
AVN Stars Offers 80% Payouts
AVN Stars currently offers 80% payouts on all earnings (including clip sales, tributes and PTV's) which is among the highest in the industry. This is a big deal as the industry average for clip sales is 60%. It's a new platform which means it's easier to rank and gain market share.
Withdraw Payment Any Time
Models can withdraw payment at any time with a $25 minimum. There is a 7-day hold time from the initial payment to your account to when it can be withdrawn. Cashout options include ACH, Paxum and wire.
Geo Blocking
AVN Stars provides the option of blocking members by country and ip.
AVN Stars Referral Program
Refer creators to stars.avn.com receive 5% of their earnings as a bonus! Referrals are an excellent way to earn passive income.
Sell Clips On AVN Stars
AVNStars currently offers 80% payouts on clip sales. This is a big deal and significantly higher than the industry average of 60%.
AVN Stars clip section is updated frequently with new features. AVN Starss provides the ability to sort your clip store via "top selling" first plus models also have the ability to "pin" clips they want to be showcased at the top. Clip store items can be customized further by uploading a trailer and image cover. Clips can also be scheduled ahead of time.
AVN Stars also offers a "Free Access Link" feature. This allows models to provide free access to their content library to select individuals. Sign up and open your own clip store today.
Earn By Sending PTV's
AVN Stars enables models to earn money by sending out PTV or "pay to view" messages. PTV's can also automatically be triggered after a certain amount time after a member follows or subscribes.
AVN Stars offers the ability to send audio messages or MP3's via PTV as well. Here is a free tip: sending audio messages as a ptv is a great way to make money and it adds up.
Broadcast Live & Receive Tips
Models have the option of broadcasting live on AVN Stars. Broadcasting live, enables your profile prominently in the "live" section in front of the "stories" as long as your profile is set to "public". Broadcasting live enables you to receive tips and paid votes from both current and new fans. Going "live" is probably one of the best ways to gain prominent visibility on the homepage.
Models have the option of making live shows available to subscribers only, all followers or everyone. Models also have the option of restricting other models from entering their chat room. Making a cam show available to "followers" only, is a quick way of gaining new followers. Live broadcasts can be posted on your timeline for members to view.
AVN Star recently added the feature to hide the usernames of tippers in the stream which is great for privacy reasons.
AVN Star supports RTMP protocol for streaming which means models can use OBS. Models also have the option of streaming via phone.
AVN Star Provides Internal Traffic
The biggest difference between AVN Stars and Onlyfans is that AVN Star provides a decent amount of internal traffic. I think of AVN Star as a large playground with plenty of opportunities to advertise including the "trending" page, "media" section, stories and "live" features.
Gain Followers On AVN Star By Posting "Stories"
Another way to obtain exposure is by posting a "story". Adding to your "stories" moves your story to the front of the queue for more visibility. A story" can be anything from a few seconds of video (limited to 1 minute) to a photo.
Link To External Sites
Unlike most other platforms (such as OnlyFans), AVN Starvallows creators to link to external sites. This means you can link to your clip stores or wherever you want. Many sites, including OnlyFans, prohibit external linking and will ban you for merely mentioning other sites.
Get Traffic Via AVN Star "Trending" Page
AVN Stars has a homepage which currently features the following categories; Free Clips, Being Viewed, Black Women, Trending Stars, Recently Uploaded, Top selling & more. Being featured in any of these categories means free exposure. Free clips automatically get posted in the "Media" section which is accessible to all members.
Earn More With AVN Star Weekly Contests
One of My favorite features on AVN Star is the weekly contests. Each weekly contest has a different theme. The most important factor in the contest is paid votes. I don't have a particularly large fan base yet so far I managed to place in over 10 weekly contests so far and have amassed $3,725 in contest money.
UPDATE - As of May 2021 AVN Star is no longer holding weekly and monthly contests. This is rather disappointing to me as I rather enjoyed the contests and won numerous cash prizes.
I found the contests useful as it motivated a lot of members to send paid votes within a short span of time. As a result I was able to earn more and earn more exposure. The statement about "devaluing content" seems slightly patronizing to me.
I've never sold content at a lower price in order to place in the contest but if a creator would like to do so, they should be able to. It's purely a business decision and only that creator can place value on what their content is worth.
Why Become An AVN Star?
If you are a content creator and considering signing up I highly recommend it. Payouts are currently at 80% (as of March, 2021) for both tips as well as clips. This is a big deal as the industry average is 60%. It's a new platform compared to IWantClips and Niteflirt which means it's easier to rank and gain market share.
The "Explore" page is a huge plus as it makes it easy to get discovered by new members. This is the main advantage AVN Star has over Onlyfans as you'll need to drive your own traffic with the latter. I have personally found many new spenders from the site itself.

One of the best and most high traffic clip sites for femdom and findom clip artists
Pros
Cons
Conclusion:
Now is the perfect opportunity to get in on the ground floor with a new yet growing platform. AVN Stars is a platform with a lot of internal traffic and numerous ways to be seen on the site. One of the biggest pros is the high payouts at 80%.
Another pro is that AVN Stars is frequently adding new features such as the ability to send audio PTV's and most recently adding a built-in video preview or trailer editor. They don't seem to make formal announcements of these updates but it's a pleasant surprise when you stumble upon something new. This also shows that AVN Star is proactive about making their site better and making it more user-friendly for both creators and members alike.
The cons are more personal gripes as others may find the lack of a weekly contest and public ranks as pros so those concerns are really subjective. The live streams glitching however is a thing that is a real issue. A stream will often glitch for viewers as well as broadcasters. There are times when I can't read the chat or when members are unable to type in the chat. It's a minor issue in the scheme of things and hopefully something that will get fixed soon.
