Best ways to earn as an ASMR content creator revealed
ASMR is big right now. So, it’s a good time to try and make money from the sensory videos and audio recordings you post online.
The big question is: how do you do it?
Ads have often been the go-to revenue source for content creators. But they may not be the best choice for you as an ASRM content creator today. We’re going to explain why and reveal some more reliable ways to earn from your content in just a moment.
But first, so we’re all on the same page, let’s define what ASMR actually is . . .
What is ASMR?
Autonomous sensory meridian response (or ASMR, as it’s better known) is a pleasant relaxing or tingling sensation which typically starts at the scalp and moves down to the upper spine.
It’s trigged by different sounds or images in different people. For instance, some get it hearing food noises, cans of fizzy drink opening, or whispered speech. Others get it watching sand drain, toothpaste tubes being squeezed, or people getting their hair cut.
Though most people knew little about ASMR just a couple of years ago, it’s recently exploded in popularity. You’ll now find a thriving ASMR community on YouTube and TikTok, which devours these ‘head tingling’ videos posted by ASMR content creators – or ‘ASMRtists’ – like you.
How do I earn as an ASMR content creator?
As we said, though ASMR is a relatively new content niche, demand is growing fast. So, it’s a good time to monetize your content.
Some of YouTube’s biggest ASMR stars make thousands from ad revenue and brand sponsorship deals. But these may not be realistic sources of income for you.
Why? Well, there are a few reasons:
- You may not meet the strict criteria to earn from ad revenue on social media platforms like YouTube
- Sponsorship deals are extremely hard to land as an ASMRtist, especially now that COVID has forced many brands to cut their marketing spend
- Your fans may not appreciate being bombarded with ads and sponsored posts when they’re trying to relax and experience ASMR
Luckily, SoSpoilt.com presents ASMRtists of all levels with some more reliable ways to generate an income from their creations.

- Selling content subscriptions to fans
Invite your fans to pay anything from £2.99 to £39.99 per month to access your exclusive content. Share photos, videos, live streams, and audio recordings around all the latest ASMR trends for only your subscribers to see.
With no sponsors telling you what to post, you decide exactly what features on your page. So, your subscribers can experience ASMR without any unwanted distractions or ads getting in the way.
- Streaming pay-per-min live content
Right now, the most popular ASMR content is visual. And we think you’ll agree that no visual content is better than live video content.
Our Live Chat features allows you to charge any fans (not just your subscribers) to pay per minute to attend your live ASMR chats or virtual events. Stream whispered speeches, role plays, food eating demos, and so much more.
Fans can even interact with you during your live streams, to make specific requests or ask questions. It’s a great way to connect with your audience and make sure you provide the ‘brain-tingling’ content they actually want to see.
- Sending pay-to-unlock content in private DMs
As you know, ASMR is triggered differently in different people. So, some fans may want to request specific videos or recordings from you.
This is why our messaging system allows fans to easily DM you to ask for tailored ASMR content and pay to unlock your responses. You set your own price for each reply.
