OnlyFans is booming in popularity, with OnlyFans seeing 8x more creators today than in 2020. However, some creators still want to maintain anonymity while earning money with their content.
For some, keeping their personal lives separate from their new careers is essential. Knowing how to make money on OnlyFans without showing your face doesn’t come naturally.
But with the right tools, strategies, marketing know-how, and research, you can make money on OnlyFans without showing your face. You don’t have to be shy to value privacy. Here is a comprehensive guide to help you get started.
Can You Make Money On OnlyFans Without Showing Your Face?
The short answer is yes. You might wonder if OnlyFans allows anonymous content on their site, but the answer is absolutely! While you must verify your legal identity with the platform, you don’t have to use your real name publicly. Creators like BambiBlueHair have raked in millions without ever showing their entire face.
You can name your profile almost anything you want. This anonymity translates to your content as well. OnlyFan’s terms of service (TOS) allow you to wear a mask, use blurring software, and change your voice. You can even employ AI software to change your face.
Users on Reddit have reported making five figures a month on OnlyFans without ever showing their face. Instead, they focus on creatively marketing their best assets while engaging with users in threads.
Many creators promote on social media sites like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. Just make sure you keep your content PG-13 on social media.
How To Remain Anonymous On OnlyFans
Since your goal is to be as discreet as possible, protecting your identity as much as possible is essential. OnlyFans provides a few ways to do this internally, such as geo-blocking. Geo-blocking allows you to block certain countries and specific IP addresses within your settings.
While this may seriously limit your reach, for some creators, it can be vital to keeping them safe. Geo-blocking can keep family and friends from finding their profiles and potentially outing them to the world. It can also be used to block specific users. Additionally, consider other factors that could make you identifiable, such as tattoos or the background in your photos.
How To Find OnlyFans Geo-Blocking Tools
1) From your Home page on OnlyFans, click the three dots on the left-hand side of the page that says More.
2) Choose Settings, then Privacy and Safety.
3) Scroll down, and on the right, under Safety, you’ll see your options for blocking by country and IP address.
4) To block specific users, you’ll need to be on their page. Click the three dots from their page at the top where their header image resides, and choose the block option. A menu will appear, allowing you to restrict access or block the user.
Remove Location Metadata From Your OnlyFans Photos
Removing location metadata from your photos is one of the best ways to help protect yourself, whether you’re anonymous or not. Most content creators use their smartphones to shoot their content. If you have location metadata on, you could give your location to anyone who knows where to look.
To turn off metadata, enter your phone’s settings and turn off location access for your smartphone’s camera app.
For iOS, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Location Services > Camera. Then choose the Never option.
For Android, open the Camera app and swipe from left to right. Now tap on the Settings icon on the bottom left side of the screen. Turn the “save location” button off.
Remember, any content you’ve created before this point will still have metadata embedded, so you must remove it manually. OnlyFans states they remove metadata from your files when posted on the site.
However, if you send files directly to a fan, you may still be at risk. It’s better to scrub your content yourself.
How To Remove Location Data From Existing Photos
The easiest way to remove location/EXIF data from your photos is with your PC. Otherwise, you’ll need to find an app to do this for you. There’s a built-in option through Windows Explorer that lets you view and remove the location and other data.
1) Open the folder containing the photos you want to remove the data. Once the folder opens, right-click on the image from which you wish to remove the data. Then, choose Properties.
2) Once this box opens, choose Details. You’ll then see the EXIF data. At the bottom of the box, click the Remove Properties and Personal Information link.
3) On the next screen, choose the first option to remove all properties and data or choose the second to remove properties and data selectively. Click ok to save your choices.
You’ll need to complete these steps for each photo. If you want to be anonymous on OnlyFans, this is essential.
When you’re shooting content, be sure you’re filming and snapping photos somewhere that doesn’t have distinguishing scenes or signs that can give away your location.
It’s typically safer to do this indoors but watch your mirrors—reflections are tricky sometimes and can show things you don’t intend for them to.
Hide Distinguishing Features
Things like tattoos or scars can easily identify a person, so if you really want to stay anonymous, take the time to hide your tattoos or scars with makeup, or lingerie, or even edit them out of photos.
How to Make Money on OnlyFans Without Showing Your Face?
With all this spy-like intrigue, it may seem like extra work. But it is worth a little extra work and technical know-how to make money on OnlyFans discreetly.
Many creators struggle in the beginning with building their brand. Who is this faceless person, and why should someone follow you and subscribe? As such, you’ll need to create a persona.
Create a catchy name that won’t get you banned on more vanilla platforms but also fits with the content you make. Keep it free from anything that can connect back to the real you. Then, corner a market that will be lucrative for your content.
Are you funny? Do you have great feet? Are you an incredible dancer? These are ways to build an audience without showing your face.
Going with a smaller, possibly even fetish niche seems to be the way a lot of faceless content creators go. Crafting a distinct personality that’s appealing under your mask (whether you’re wearing one or it’s implied) is the key to selling your content.
When there aren’t a lot of already established creators in a niche, you’ll find it easier to enter the market and grow. Many fetishes focus on specific body parts like feet, hands, and thighs. These fetishes are perfect for those who want to create faceless content.
Audio content is also an option. You can read stories and showcase your sensual lips while remaining anonymous and earning money.
Here are ways to make money on OnlyFans:
- Subscriptions: One of the most popular ways to make money on OnlyFans is a subscription service. This puts your content behind a paywall, and fans will need to pay a monthly fee to access your content.
- Pay-Per-View Content (PPV): You can charge a one time fee for any content, even if it is already behind a paywall. You can charge a set fee for things like photosets or videos.
- Direct Messaging: Fans would love to get a chance to talk to you privately, so you can charge for direct messages. You can charge per message, by the hour, or a set amount of messages.
- Custom content: You can charge fans for custom content, or content you create specifically for a fan. As you typically wouldn’t re-sell these, you can charge a higher fee.
- Tips: Encourage fans to tip you. Some creators even have a tip menu, where they get a certain thing for a set amount, such as a direct message, custom photo, Snapchat access, etc.
- Promos: You can charge other OnlyFans models to promote their accounts on your page. You get money, and they get exposed to your audience.
- Livestreams: Livestreaming is a great way to engage with your fans. You can charge a certain amount to view your live stream and also receive tips from fans.
Take Stock Of What You Can’t Hide
The reality of creating content online is someone who knows you might be able to identify you someday. However, you can take steps to protect yourself beyond covering up your face.
Take stock of identifying information available in your content. You may want to cover up tattoos with makeup or lingerie.
If your living room has decor that is readily identifiable to your friends or family, you might want to shoot at a hotel. Take down family photos or particular art if you think a friend might see it and think of you.
OnlyFans Content Ideas With No Face
At times, you may feel a bit limited on content to make that doesn’t show your face, but there’s a lot you can do! Here are a few ideas:
- Themed Silhouettes: Use lighting to create silhouettes that tease your shape without revealing details. This can be artistic and highly stylized.
- Voice Content: ASMR videos, dirty talking, or reading sexy stories, content that focuses on your voice is perfect for an anonymous OnlyFans!
- Foot Content: Content focusing on feet sells surprisingly well! This could include things like shoe reviews, foot care routines, or even custom sock showcases.
- Costume and Cosplay: Dress up in costumes or cosplay outfits where the face is obscured or masked. This allows you to tap into various fandoms and engage with audiences who enjoy specific characters or themes.
- Fitness and Yoga: Share workout routines, yoga sessions, or dance sequences where you can wear a hood, mask, or shoot from angles that don’t show your face.
- Messages: Interacting with your audience is important, but you can sell certain experiences. You can charge to rate “certain” photos, sell a humiliation experience, a girlfriend experience, a sexy experience, or anything in between!
How Do You Promote A Secret OnlyFans
It’s hard to make money on OnlyFans without showing your face if you don’t already have followers. Sadly, followers do not always come organically.
OnlyFans doesn’t have any internal promotional capabilities. You won’t be able to post your excellent content, sit back, and expect fans to come to you. That means putting in the work to bring fans to your page. Using other platforms to draw your fans back to OnlyFans to subscribe is useful.
Promoting your OnlyFans on social media without getting banned can be tricky. The platforms that work best for faceless creators are Reddit and TikTok. But don’t leave out Instagram and Twitter. You’ll want to use everything in your social media toolbox to bring fans to your page.
Before posting, ensure the content you share on these platforms doesn’t violate their specific Terms of Service.
Keeping the same username across platforms can be crucial. You want your brand to remain consistent and make it easier for fans to find you. If they search your Instagram handle on Reddit, that’s a good way of directing them to spicy content.
Using Reddit To Promote An Anonymous OnlyFans
Reddit uses subreddits, essentially themed message boards, so you’ll have to find the proper one to post. There are many subreddits with various topics, and it can be a bit daunting when you first begin using it. Creators like NoFaceMom have found incredible success this way.
With a bit of research and effort, it gets easier to navigate. It’s important to post consistently but not spam your favorite subreddits. Some content moderators could ban you from a subreddit for breaking the rules.
Make sure you read the rules of each subreddit before posting. Some may limit how many times a day you can post. Others only allow specific content.
You’ll want to be as engaging as possible. Share teaser content without giving everything away, and draw your potential subscribers to OnlyFans.
How To Promote OnlyFans on TikTok (Using Instagram)
TikTok can also be a fun way to promote your secret OnlyFans, but you must be exceptionally careful on the platform. Show too much skin or really any sexual content, or you’ll get your profile banned.
Be sure not to link your OnlyFans profile through your bio in any way; check out how we get around that safely with a few extra steps!
1) Put your Instagram link in your bio.
2) On Instagram, put your AllMyLinks/Linktree in your bio.
3) On Linktree/AllMyLinks, put your OnlyFans link!
4) You’ve successfully funneled your fans where you need them.
Success on TikTok depends on following current trends. So be sure to see what top creators are doing there. Lip sync to popular TikTok sounds, dance, shake your booty, or wear a cute top and showcase perky nipples. Get creative and keep it safe for work.
How To Promote An Anonymous OnlyFans On X
X, formerly known as Twitter, is probably the least restrictive social media platform for adult content, but it’s still better to err on the side of caution. Plus, you want to save your best content for your paid subscribers!
However, you can share racier teaser clips to X if you wish to and post your AllMyLinks in your bio to funnel subs to OnlyFans. You can also post direct links from OnlyFans to X.
How To Promote An Anonymous OnlyFans On Instagram
Instagram is relatively conservative, so be careful when posting content. Link your AllMyLinks or Beacons in your bio, and post safe-for-work content on your profile and captions.
Be flirty and teasing. Ask questions like, do these yoga pants make my butt look big? You want to get the conversation going and eventually move the looky-loos to OnlyFans, where they can see the actual goods.
Protect Yourself
Whether or not you show your face on OnlyFans, protecting yourself and your business is crucial. Never share your location, and pay attention to your photo backgrounds. Additionally, chargebacks are a pretty big issue in the industry, so brushing up on some chargeback prevention strategies to protect your income is a good idea. Stolen content is also a large issue, so it’s important to take steps to protect your content.
