Building Alina — my experiment with a consistent AI creator
I’ve recently started building a completely fictional AI creator called Alina.
The goal isn’t just generating random AI images — I’m experimenting with keeping the same character consistent across different locations, outfits and lighting, while gradually building an audience around her.
I’ve just started testing Reddit as one of the traffic sources, alongside building her creator profile.
I’m curious about the monetization side now. I’ve seen quite a few people using Fanvue for AI creators, so that’s the direction I’m currently testing.
Still very early — basically starting from zero — so I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has actually built an AI creator business:
What was the first thing that actually brought you meaningful traffic or paying fans?
Here’s Alina so far 👇
