If you have a solid social media following or just starting out, OnlyFans might just be the place for you. Before we talk about how you can make money on OnlyFans, let’s talk a bit about what it is and shake off a few, well…contrary beliefs if you will. Jump to: What is OnlyFans? Who has OnlyFans? How to really make money on OnlyFans? What content can you sell on OnlyFans? Using OnlyFans Messages to sell exclusive content How To Promote Your OnlyFans Final Thoughts Frequently Asked Questions What is OnlyFans? To begin,  OnlyFans  is not a porn site or one of those “live cam” sites. Those seem to be a couple of things that have been floating around a lot. Just because it’s a social media platform that actually allows adult content, doesn’t mean its a full-blown porn site. OnlyFans is a social media platform that you can use to make money based on a subscription-based business model. You create your own content and sell it at a price of your choosing. You can publish different types of content like photos, audio, videos, live streams, and so much more. The purpose here is that a subscriber will pay a fee that you set to access your exclusive content. What’s even better is that you keep 80 percent of whatever money you make. The 20 percent will of course go to OnlyFans. Even though it’s been a fixture for those who tend to post adult content, it has also been useful for those who are influencers or authority figures in so many different niches. Who has OnlyFans? If you are wondering who has OnlyFans, it depends. As mentioned, you can carve out a space in whatever niche you’re in and make some money. The following content creators who make money on OnlyFans include but are not limited to the following: Adult models Fitness coaches Social media influencers Cosplayers Travel bloggers DIY bloggers Beauty tips Models The list goes on and on. If you are someone who is starting out or are already building a bit of a following on other platforms on social media, could OnlyFans be for you?  If your goal is making a bit of extra money, of course! How to really make money on OnlyFans? First and foremost, make sure that your OnlyFans account is set up and ready to go. This means you’ll need to fill out the signup sheet, upload a government ID to prove your real identity, and link your bank account. After everything is set and ready to go, you can now make some money on OnlyFans. From there, you can begin posting content that your subscribers will pay for to have full access to. Again, you can set the price to what you believe is best for you. 1.  Subscriptions At first, your subscription price is set to “free” by default. You can change this to a price at any given time. Also, promotions can be set at a price lower than your usual subscription rate. Let’s say you set the price to $14.99. If you have a promotion going on for exclusive content, you can set the rate to half that amount. You can adjust the price accordingly if you see it as fit. So how much money can you really make? That depends on how many subscribers you have. For example, if you have 10,000 followers and anywhere between one to five percent of them become paid subscribers at a price of $14.99, that’s anywhere between $1500 to nearly $7500 a month (excluding tips). 2. Tips If you think you can only earn money by selling content, think again. Not only will you make money on subscriptions, but you can also ask for tips as well. You can request for tips at any time. Just like YouTubers asking for subscribers on a regular basis, you can request for tips every time you post content as if it were second nature. Users can send you tips via private message. If you sell a product or service, you can suggest that your subscribers tip you if it has helped them out in some way. ? Keep in mind though, if you are charging subscribers to access your content, you’re going to need to be consistent (and keep the content fresh). Plus, you want to have a decent amount of content available for access when you’re starting out. Ultimately, the more quality content you can produce, the better. 3. Pay-Per-View Content and Messages Aside from the content that you can publish on OnlyFans and ask for tips, you can send messages to subscribers who can pay only to see them. You can set the minimum price of this to $3. You can send the message to all subscribers and make some money in the process. Going back to the example where you have 10,000 followers and only one percent subscribe. At $14.99, that’s about $1500 a month. However, if you send a PPV message with a set price of $5 and only 300 out of the 1000 subscribers pay to view them, you earn what you normally get on subscriptions alone! ? What content can you sell on OnlyFans? You can sell products that can be easily accessed or downloaded or sell physical products. Either way, there really isn’t any limit to what you can sell to your subscribers. Here are just a few examples of what you can sell: Photos or videos (especially those containing adult content) PDFs or ebooks that cover a certain topic (I.e. If you are in fitness, you can sell a PDF on at-home workouts). Physical books Any products of your own that you can sell to subscribers (both digital or physical) Keep in mind that when you are selling something on OnlyFans, you can suggest them to leave a tip with a note mentioning the correct product that they ordered. Not only is this a creative way to make extra money, but it’s a win-win for both you and the subscribers. You make money, they get the product they want, and everyone is happy. If you are planning to sell physical products, be sure that they are lightweight and easy to ship. Your goal is to make as much money as possible. The last thing you want is additional shipping costs eating away at your earnings. One of the best ways to earn tips on OnlyFans is by pinning the tip menu to the top of your profile. When your followers or subscribers view your profile, it will be the first thing they see before they view the other posts. Using OnlyFans Messages to sell exclusive content Of course, no social media platform like OnlyFans is complete without a messaging feature. As a content creator, you can use a mass messaging system to promote new and exclusive content. This is also a great way for current subscribers not to miss out on what you’ve posted. Keep in mind that you can also send messages that can be time-sensitive. This means that a subscriber who hasn’t visited your profile or checked out your new content can miss out. If anything, use the mass message feature so it doesn’t expire and it gives your users a chance to catch up.

In the next section, you’re going to learn how to promote your OnlyFans so you have a chance to maximize your earning potential. This is where your social media accounts will come in handy. How To Promote Your OnlyFans When it comes to promoting your OnlyFans for new followers and eventually paid subscribers, there’s only one place to get it done: social media. Here is one thing to keep in mind, just because OnlyFans allows adult content, doesn’t mean the same rules apply to other platforms. Twitter can allow adult content, but Instagram or Facebook has strict policies. Before promoting your OnlyFans on social media, it’s only right to double-check what you want to post. If you are on Twitter and it’s a preview of your video content (but contains adult content), you have the green light. On Instagram or Facebook, choose your best photo or video that falls within the standards and guidelines (i.e.  No nudity is allowed ). Of course, the more followers you have on other social media platforms, the better you’ll gain more followers on OnlyFans. You can leave links to your OnlyFans in the bio of your profiles (and don’t forget to let them know about it each time you promote it). If you have a low following on social media, you may want to consider growing it first if you’re looking to get more followers on OnlyFans. Final Thoughts If you are serious about making money on OnlyFans, then follow the steps above and sell what you think will be the best possible content. This is a great way to generate another stream of income aside from what you’re earning now through other channels. You may be an influencer or a model that may be earning money through other methods, but it never hurts to give your income a bit of a boost with OnlyFans.
