An OnlyFans account is a great first step to monetizing your adult content. Still, you might wonder how to promote OnlyFans once you’ve started posting your pictures and videos without losing your social media.
OnlyFans doesn’t provide promotion. Accordingly, you’ll need to market your hard work to get fans flocking to your profile. Here are the top five strategies for promoting OnlyFans on social media and bringing subscribers right where you want them.
How to Promote OnlyFans on X (Formerly Twitter)
Of all the social media sites you can promote OnlyFans with, X: Formerly, Twitter is the easiest to use. According to data from the web analytics firm SimilarWeb, X drives 63.78 percent of social media traffic to OnlyFans.
Nudity and sexual content is allowed on X. X allows users to mark profiles as featuring sensitive content. This will help prevent shadowbans on your account for sharing adult content.
To mark your account as featuring sensitive content, go your profile’s Settings and Privacy menu. Next, navigate to the “Your X Activity” option and then select “Your Posts.” Finally, select the box labeled, “Mark media you post as having material that may be sensitive” box.
OnlyFans also can share posts directly to X from within the service. When you create your OnlyFans account, be sure to connect the X account you want share content to. Now when you create a post on OnlyFans, you can automatically share it to X by selecting the bird icon.
X allows you to post short videos, photos, links to your OnlyFans page, and other NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content to their platform. This funnels traffic to your profile, where you can get those folks to subscribe to see your premium content.
How to Promote OnlyFans on TikTok
TikTok is probably the trickiest social media platform for adult content creators, but it can also be profitable if you’re careful. Still, it’s easy to get banned from TikTok. You’ll have to be creative with your content and keep it as safe for work as possible.
There’s no nudity or sexually explicit content allowed, so how would you promote OnlyFans on TikTok? Dancing, lip-syncing to popular TikTok sounds, going live, and mentioning your OnlyFans are all options. Never link directly to your profile.
Just like with other social media sites, engaging with your community is a great way to build a following. In turn, those followers on TikTok will often investigate you further and become OnlyFans accounts.
However, you need to understand that you can’t link to your OnlyFans in your bio. You can’t even link to it via a social media management tool like LinkTree. So, how are your fans supposed to find your OnlyFans?
The secret is our friend, Instagram.
Include a link to your Instagram in your TikTok profile. Then, ensure you have a prominent link to a service like LinkTree or AllMyLinksy in your Instagram bio. People who are hunting for your OnlyFans are smart. They can follow a trail of breadcrumbs.
How to Promote OnlyFans on Reddit
Similar to X, Reddit allows NSFW content in specific subreddits. NSFW means “Not Safe For Work” Still, you need to be aware of the rules of each subreddit where you’ll be posting. Every subreddit is its own little kingdom with its own moderators. Thankfully the rules are posted on every single subreddit.
Ensure you read carefully when joining to ensure you’re not posting somewhere NSFW content isn’t allowed. You should also set up your account there to indicate that you’ll be posting NSFW content.
To set your account as NSFW, go to My Profile, and select Edit. Under the options to customize your profile you can set your account as NSFW.
Moderators on Reddit are there to keep an eye on content. However, if you follow the rules, you’ll find Reddit can be a great source of fans for your OnlyFans page.
Privately Promoting OnlyFans
If discretion is important to you, maybe you have an anonymous OnlyFans where you don’t show your face and want to be able to promote your profile while maintaining this anonymity. It’s a little more difficult, but it can be done.
While OnlyFans requires you to disclose your legal name behind the scenes, you never have to do this for the rest of the world. Use a username that fits the persona you want to portray to the world and use it across all platforms. Consistency is key, whether you’re faceless or not.
When you promote your OnlyFans on social media for your secret account, don’t use any photos or videos you’ve used on other social media. You don’t want anyone to be able to connect your regular social media posts to your secret accounts.
Secretly promoting OnlyFans doesn’t always mean having a faceless account. Some content creators enjoy providing SFW content on social media while having adult-themed OnlyFans.
Melrose Michaels, a top earner on OnlyFans, makes around $30k per month. Michaels also plays live games on Twitch where she also promotes her OnlyFans account, educates sex-workers on how to grow their business. She also creates SFW ASMR videos on YouTube.
Michaels isn’t faceless on any of these accounts, but she also doesn’t promote her OnlyFans as her top priority.
Diversify Your Promotion
Remember OnlyFans doesn’t promote from within. That means you’ll have to go outside OnlyFans’ platform to bring fans to your premium content. But just like making OnlyFans content requires creativity, so does promoting it.
Now that you’ve learned the rules of each of these platforms, it’s time to get creative. With fun and engaging content in the right community, you can funnel people to your OnlyFans and have them subscribing in no time.
Most of all, remember that a lot of this is out of your control. A bitter person can always report your profile. Sometimes your account will be struck for an unfair reason. By diversifying the paths you take to promote your OnlyFans, you do more than create opportunities for sales. You also protect yourself from relying too much on one method of promotion.
