Remote, said plainly
We have no office in Miami, and we are not going to pretend we do. Empire is run from Mexico City, and if you are in Miami, everything happens at a distance: the first conversation is on WhatsApp, you read the whole contract before you sign, and you sign it electronically. Our chat team is remote, in Latin America, and coordinated from Mexico City. Every chatter signs a non-disclosure agreement before getting access, and only the people you authorize in the contract can get into your account.
The in-person side of Empire (a meeting and contract signing) exists only in Mexico City. If you ever travel there, let us know in advance and we will see if we can meet (what we do in person there, page in Spanish); in Miami we will not offer you a meeting we cannot hold. Two more things, so nobody loses time: we work only with women creators, and we are not a talent agency. We don't book jobs, brand deals, shoots or appearances with third parties; we manage your OnlyFans operation. We already work with creators from the United States, as well as from Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela and Italy.
Miami speaks two languages. Your chat should too
Miami-Dade County had an estimated 2,802,029 residents on July 1, 2025, and 489,812 of them lived in the City of Miami, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s QuickFacts. The same table puts the Hispanic or Latino share of the county at 70.6% and shows that 75.3% of residents aged five and over speak a language other than English at home (American Community Survey, 2020–2024). More than half of the county, 54.5%, was born outside the United States.
None of that means your fans live here; most of them probably don’t. It means that if your persona moves between English and Spanish, your fans will notice when the chat can’t keep up. A reply that sounds like a translation app, or one that switches tone when it switches language, cools a sale fast. What we do about it:
- The reply follows the fan. A fan who writes in Spanish gets Spanish, one who writes in English gets English, and one who mixes both gets the same mix back.
- Your voice in both languages. Tell us how you sound in each language: the words you use, the ones you would never use and the topics that are off the table. The chat should not change personality when it changes language.
- Your limits hold in both languages. You give us a list of what you don’t do, and the contract obliges us to respect it whatever language the fan writes in. Asking you for something on that list is grounds for ending the contract.
Your clock, your fans’ clock and ours
Miami runs on Eastern Time. The U.S. moves its clocks forward on the second Sunday of March and back on the first Sunday of November: in 2026, on March 8 and November 1, per NIST. The United Kingdom changes on other Sundays (March 29 and October 25 in 2026), and Mexico City no longer changes its clocks at all under the 2022 Time Zones Law (in Spanish). So the distance between you, your fans abroad and our team moves during the year:
When it is 9:00 p.m. for…, this is the time in Miami (calculated with the IANA time-zone database, 2026b)
| 9:00 p.m. in… | Winter | Gap weeks | Summer |
|---|
| Pacific Time (U.S. West Coast) | 12:00 a.m. | 12:00 a.m. | 12:00 a.m. |
| London | 4:00 p.m. | 5:00 p.m. | 4:00 p.m. |
| Mexico City, where our team is coordinated | 10:00 p.m. | 11:00 p.m. | 11:00 p.m. |
Winter: until March 7, 2026, and from November 1, 2026 to March 13, 2027. Gap weeks: March 8–28 and October 25–31, 2026, when the U.S. has already changed its clocks and the UK has not (or the other way around). Summer: March 29 to October 24, 2026.
In practice: a fan on the West Coast who sits down at 9 p.m. is writing to you at midnight, so if you go to sleep at eleven, that window is lost unless someone is covering the chat. Fans in London reach their evening during your afternoon. And our coordination in Mexico City is one hour behind you in winter and two in summer: if you message us at 10 a.m. in Miami, it is 9 or 8 a.m. there. Whenever the U.S. or the UK change their clocks, it is worth reviewing the times of your posts and mass messages.
Getting paid in Miami: dollars in, commission out
OnlyFans’ Terms of Service set its fee at 20% of each fan payment and say that all fan payments and creator earnings are transacted in U.S. dollars; they also warn that your bank or e-wallet may charge currency conversion or other fees.
Your money never goes through us. OnlyFans pays your earnings into your own account, which only you hold. Within 5 business days after each monthly cut-off we send you a report with the commission calculation, and you pay it by bank transfer. The commission only counts money OnlyFans has actually released to you; anything the platform holds back counts in the cut-off when it is released. These are the tiers:
- 30% if your net for the month is under 1,000 USD.
- 25% from 1,000 USD up to, but not including, 3,000 USD.
- 20% from exactly 3,000 USD.
The tier you reach applies to the whole month. Four examples:
| Fans pay in the month | You keep after OnlyFans’ 20% | Empire’s commission | What stays with you |
|---|
| 1,100 USD | 880 USD | 30% = 264 USD | 616 USD |
| 3,000 USD | 2,400 USD | 25% = 600 USD | 1,800 USD |
| 3,750 USD | 3,000 USD | 20% = 600 USD | 2,400 USD |
| 8,000 USD | 6,400 USD | 20% = 1,280 USD | 5,120 USD |
These are calculation examples, not a promise of earnings.
Taxes: one Florida fact, then your CPA
The Florida Department of Revenue puts it plainly: Florida does not impose a personal income tax, so individuals have no state income tax return to file (businesses do have their own filing requirements). The state Constitution also restricts any state tax on the income of individual residents (Article VII, Section 5).
That covers the state. Federal tax is a separate matter and applies in Miami as anywhere else in the country; our OnlyFans agency page for the USA covers the federal basics. We don’t prepare taxes, we don’t file anything with any tax authority on your behalf and we don’t give tax advice: for your own situation, talk to a licensed CPA. One practical point to bring to that conversation: the contract you sign with us is with a Mexican company, so ask your CPA how to document the commission you pay.
Privacy in Miami-Dade: two Florida laws worth knowing
In a county of about 2.8 million people it is easy to assume nobody will recognize you. Leaks don’t care about the size of the city, so it helps to know what Florida law says. This is general information, not legal advice:
- Sexual cyberharassment (section 784.049, Florida Statutes). It is a crime to willfully and maliciously publish online, or send electronically, a sexually explicit image of someone without their consent and against their reasonable expectation that it would stay private, when it comes with information that identifies them, such as a name, address or phone number. The statute adds that having sent the image to someone does not, on its own, remove that expectation of privacy. It is a first-degree misdemeanor, a third-degree felony when done for financial gain, and the person affected can sue for 10,000 USD or actual damages, whichever is greater.
- AI-altered sexual images (section 836.13, amended in 2025 by Brooke’s Law). Creating a sexual image of an identifiable person through digital alteration, without that person’s consent, is a third-degree felony. And since December 31, 2025, covered platforms must offer a process for the person, or someone authorized to act for her, to request removal, and must take the image down no later than 48 hours after a valid request.
Whether either law fits your case (for example, paid content that someone reposted for free) is a question for a Florida-licensed attorney. What we do is practical. We search for your leaked material and request its removal with DMCA notices sent by hand. Our chatters are bound by contract never to reveal or hint at your real name, address, location, routine or family. And before you post, it is worth checking what a clip gives away: the view from your balcony, a recognizable building pool, a garage sign or a license plate can place you within a few blocks. OnlyFans also has location-blocking settings; how far they go (whether you can block Florida on its own) we check with you in your own settings rather than promise it here, and no block stops someone using a VPN.
Shooting content in Miami: when you need a permit
Miami-Dade County’s Office of Film and Entertainment explains that film permits are generally required throughout the county and its municipalities for film, video or still-photo shoots on public property: roads, streets, sidewalks, parks, beaches and public buildings.
- The county’s small-shoot exception. No permit is needed for people using a hand-held camera or one camera on one tripod, with a cast and crew of fewer than three, who don’t claim exclusive use of the space, don’t request parking for production vehicles and don’t use props such as prop weapons, fire or animals, among other conditions.
- Private property can count too. The county lists municipalities (the City of Miami, Coral Gables, Homestead, Key Biscayne, Medley, Miami Beach, South Miami and Virginia Gardens) that may require a permit for shoots on residential or private property as well as on public property.
- Miami Beach. Its Film & Print Office requires a permit for commercial film, video and still photography on public property and at residential locations. The exemption covers a single camera or photographer with no models, assistants or crew, hand-held equipment only, no large props, and not blocking sidewalks or businesses.
Read literally, a shoot with a hired photographer and you as the model, at a rental in Miami Beach, may fall outside that exemption because it involves a model. Confirm with the film office of the city where you will shoot before you book anything. We don’t organize shoots.
Hurricane season and your content calendar
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, according to the National Hurricane Center. A storm can leave you without power or internet for days, and your page should not go silent with you:
- A reserve before June. It is worth having content set aside before the season starts, so posts and PPV can stay scheduled if you cannot shoot for a while.
- The chat is not in Miami. Our team works remotely from Latin America, so an outage at your place does not, by itself, switch off your inbox.
- No location in the message. If a storm keeps you away, whatever fans are told should not name the city or the storm: the chatter rules forbid hinting at where you live.
