Size really does matter — but not how you think.
When it comes to raking in cash on OnlyFans, new data from Supercreator reveals that shorter women are stomping all over their taller rivals — earning up to 34% more subscribers, with fans who spend 30–45% more per interaction and stick around nearly twice as long.
And nobody knows that better than 4-foot firecracker Erika Calabrese.
The 25-year-old Tampa, Florida native — who boasts 809,000 Instagram followers — says her petite stature has been a major factor in her six-figure-a-month success.
“I had two options: either use my height to my advantage and make something of it or give in to what society has stereotyped little people to be, which is just a punching bag for comedic relief,” Calabrese told Jam Press.
Nobody’s laughing at her now — even as the site becomes more over-saturated, according to Calabrese, she’s able to “consistently” reel in “well over six figures a month.”
The pint-sized powerhouse says the fan requests are just as crazy as the paychecks.
“One of the more interesting things about doing OnlyFans is the people that are in my DMs,” she said. “I get wild messages from people. Most of it is just people trying to take me on dates or fly me to their country.”
She noted that some of them “are married celebrities with children, and some are college guys who want me to go to their frat parties.”
Others are “old men who want to ‘experience a little person,’” but ultimately, many are “just men who want to check me off their bucket list.”
Calabrese signed up for the site five years ago, swapping her $30,000-a-year retail job at a furniture store for a salary she can now pull in within a week. But she admits the fame comes with a price.
“I face stigma within the industry because of my stature. People knowing that my conversion is better because of my height makes them think that they can have a negative opinion of me,” she said.
“They’ll say ‘She’s only making that much because she’s little’ – which is true, but that’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
And while she’s ‘honored’ to know that she’s inspired others like her to give the site a try, it’s bittersweet, knowing “they might endure the same things I have to go through,” she explained.
Calabrese acknowledged that while it’s easy to start an account, go viral and make big money, the job comes with challenges — especially for someone already navigating the daily struggles of being part of a minority group.
Yuval, CEO of Supercreator, which lends AI-powered assists to OnlyFans stars, says Erika’s story is part of a bigger shift on the platform.
“The data reveals a fascinating truth,” Yuval said. “Smaller creators — not necessarily by follower size — are converting better. Follower count has become irrelevant – what matters now is authentic differentiation and flawless execution.”
“The top 1% aren’t necessarily the most conventionally attractive — they’re the ones who’ve mastered marketing and sales.”
