Estimated Reading Time: 2 min32 sec

Did you know that you can influence your OnlyFans subscribers’ behaviors with the help of polls? Yes, polls are that powerful. Though, to attain this level of control, you must target the right subscriber group, come up with SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-based) goals and derive the right questions, create and launch the polls on OnlyFans, evaluate the results and put the insights gained to good use, consider sharing the results, and refine forthcoming polls. That’s the secret!

According to studies investigating the impact of opinion polls on elections, opinion polls do lead to the development of a bandwagon effect. A bandwagon effect refers to the act of the majority influencing the minority to follow them based on the results of the poll. Some studies reason that the influence arises due to the minority wanting to feel accepted. You can replicate the same effect using OnlyFans polls and rake in more income and avoid losing subscribers. 

OnlyFans facilitates a personalized level of connection and understanding between you and your subscribers allowing you to know what majority of your subscribers love. Therefore, in case you want to sway your subscribers to undertake a specific action, you can use polls that have questions that you are aware of the outcome, helping you attain your objectives. 

Even if you are a beginner OnlyFans creator, polls can eventually grant you the power of influence. Why? Polls give you the chance to engage with your subscribers from the start. Polls are a more subtle way of getting under your subscribers’ skin through personalized conversations as opposed to trying to sell something to them. For example, you get to ask them of current events and what their typical day would look like if you did this and that for them and more. 

Continued and progressive polling as a new creator leads to the development of deeper connections because, for each poll you run, your neural structure starts creating a network of knowledge and wisdom defining what your subscribers would kill for. With this advantage, you could proceed to boost sales using polls without your subscribers minding it. 

Mostly, when you become vulnerable and make them trust you, your subscribers rarely think about the money, they become more focused on your content and the value they receive from it. In short, the payment to them is a form of saying thank you, and not a token of exchange for your content. 

If you are an expert such as a fitness coach or doctor selling your content on OnlyFans, you are likely to get positive results in case you decide to use polls to influence your subscribers’ behaviors. Research involving a group of voters selected to share their opinions on specific public policy questions indicates that there is an 11.3% shift in opinions once the selected group is presented with expert opinion on the same questions. The opinions of the majority cause an 8.1% shift in the minority opinions. 

Ultimately, if you are an accomplished OnlyFans creator, beginner creator, or an expert in any field, thinking of using OnlyFans polls like a pro, you are in the right place. Here is how you can create polls that are both objective and effective yielding you satisfactory results and sustaining business continuity. 

How to Create Objective and Effective OnlyFans Polls 

1. Target the right subscriber group

Bear in mind that all the OnlyFans polls you will ever create always target your currently available subscribers and not prospective ones. The polls help you understand the existing subscribers by asking varied personal questions and providing feedback based on the results. Remember, useful polls are those that get responses. That is why you work with the available subscriber number and take time to analyze and determine those more willing to respond. 

When creating a poll, you must target a specific segment of subscribers with reference to the use case of your poll. Different polls serve different purposes. By analyzing the reason you want to create a poll, you will have enough information covering various aspects of the subscriber group that may be interested in your poll. Some of these aspects include the demographics, psychographics, needs, wants, problems, and more. Here are some of the popular OnlyFans polls use cases:

• Gathering information to repurpose 

To use polls to gather information to repurpose, you must first know which type of information you want to collect first. You can collect information spanning from testimonials to personal general responses to specific questions that you can later convert into content and use to promote your OnlyFans page on other platforms. 

If your reason for creating a poll is to gather data for repurposing, you must figure out who your questions will target. For example, if you are gathering testimonials, your questions would target the subscribers who have already consumed your content and have something to say about it. 

When gathering information to repurpose, you have the option to be generic or specific. The target subscriber group changes based on your choice. For example, if you decide to target all your subscribers, you may have to first study the demographics of your subscribers and know which question suits each group. You cannot have a general question targeting every subscriber and yet you serve each demographic with varied types of content. It will not make sense. 

If you decide to collect specific information, you can have polls covering questions that are trimmed down to a specific set of content you posted. For example, if you had organized a live stream and used stream gates to limit who could access the stream, your poll meant to collect information would target that group specifically. 

Keep in mind that you can also have polls asking your audience whether they can provide you with testimonial videos covering a specific type of content you make. If you go down this path, your target audience would be subscribers who have frequently consumed that type of content and left positive comments. Such a category of subscribers is more likely to respond. 

• Requesting for permission to use personal responses, testimonials, and comments

You can also decide to use polls to request for permission to use personal responses, testimonials, and comments. Especially after collecting information to repurpose, it is critical that you request permission to use the data. This move shows that you respect your subscribers. 

OnlyFans personal responses and comments are usually supposed to stay on OnlyFans. Subscribers, mostly those consuming NSFW “not safe for work” content are usually skeptical of having their personal identity exposed. Therefore, you must ask for permission to avoid any issues, may they be legal or other low profile issues such as arguments with a subscriber because you repurposed content without their knowledge. 

When requesting for permission to use details such as testimonials and comments, you are retargeting a specific subscriber group. Therefore, you are not thinking from scratch about whom your poll questions would be applicable to. 

Using polls to solicit permission is effective because, if a majority of the targeted group agree to it, the few who had negative thoughts about the idea of their comments or personal responses being used might change their minds. 

• Generating leads 

Even when you have a small or substantial subscriber base, you must keep creating sales funnels, requiring you to generate leads. So, if your reason for using a poll is to generate leads, your target subscribers are those who are yet to purchase other types of content you sell.

As a way of generating leads, you can also create polls aimed towards new subscribers. Especially those that have subscribed to your free subscription page, if you have one. Polls would be a great way to consistently nurture them to leads that may possibly turn into paying subscribers. 

• Conducting audience research 

If you decide to undertake audience research using polls, your target audience would be all your subscribers or a subgroup. It is all dependent on what exactly you want to know about your audience. For example, you can undertake a poll to determine whether your subscribers are interested in your content, but, while doing so, you ensure the poll is targeting subscribers with a clear understanding of what your niche covers to determine how many subscribers are genuinely interested in your content. 

• Identifying and solving issues 

Sometimes, you might have some issues with a specific subset of subscribers and would love to solve them. If you decide to use polls to do so, your target audience would be those affected by the issue. It is expected that many of those that participate in the polls are those affected by the issues. 

Additionally, you can use polls to target subscribers who may have personal issues with you but do not know how to reach out to you. Meaning, if you are creating such a poll, you are directly speaking to these groups, allowing them to give you information that you would otherwise not be able to know. Why? Polls help make everything transparent and everyone’s opinion counts. 

• Following up on insights gained from other polls 

If you are using polls to follow up on insights gained from other polls, you will target the subscriber group that took part in the previous polls and not a new subscriber group. By knowing this, it would be easier for you to filter out responses and know how to refine your upcoming polls to provide more useful and impactful insights. 

• Seeking real-time feedback 

At times, you might be thinking of making content and need instant feedback from your subscribers. To fulfill this, you can create polls targeting the subscribers that are currently active on your feed or are currently consuming your content and interacting with you. It makes more sense targeting this group because you will get quick feedback on what you need rather than running a poll targeting everyone and yet you may end up wasting time and not accomplishing what you wanted to do. 

• Analyzing your subscribers’ experiences 

Subscriber experiences vary from one to the other. Therefore, if you are going to run a poll meant to study the experiences your subscribers are having, you must have a clear description of who you are targeting. 

Sometimes, you may create content for a specific group of subscribers and send it to them as pay-per-view messages. If you want to know if they had a great time watching your content, you can create a poll, but one targeting only them. 

• Undertaking a larger study with the aid of micro-polls 

If you are using polls to carry out a large study, you will have to target individual groups asking them various questions and eventually consolidate the data collected from the micro-polls. Therefore, any poll entailing several micro-polls should also include specific outlines defining the subscribers that are most suitable for the poll. 

Generally, there are several other use cases for polls requiring you to have an idea of the subscribers that should respond to the poll. Having a target subscriber base makes it easier for you to make informed decisions once the results are in. The use cases outlined in this article are the most popular. 

2. Come up with SMART goals and derive the right questions

First, SMART goals must be specific. Once you have determined your poll use case and known your target subscriber group, you should narrow down to a specific concept within the use case that you would want to test. For example, if you want to know the best way to collect data about the issues your subscribers are facing, you can narrow down to testing whether they would prefer only direct messaging or general comments. This move makes it easier for you to plan and strategize once your subscribers provide you feedback. 

Second, your goals must be measurable. Keep in mind that the results of polls are measured in percentages; therefore, your goals should be able to cater for this type of measurement. Avoid goals that may require you to include vague options within your questions or several options, to clearly provide you with useful data.

Third, ensure your goals are attainable. For every use case you may select, you should be in the position to create a poll and successfully launch and monitor it in line with the available subscriber base. Avoid coming up with goals that do not fit the subscriber descriptions you got. 

Fourth, ensure that your goals are relevant. The best way to ensure they are relevant is by knowing who they are meant for. Also, they should cover topics and themes that are understood by your subscribers. If you were to come up with a goal leading to the creation of a poll that no subscriber understands, you will not get any response. Why? your goal was off topic meaning the poll question is also off topic. 

Finally, your goals must always be time-based. For every poll question you plan to have, you must know how long it would last. You would not want your feed to be swarmed by countless polls distracting your subscribers. 

Once you have your goal in mind, proceed to come up with poll questions that fit into the goal you have come up with. Each question should have a specific objective because you are supposed to have straightforward and easy to understand questions. Goals cover your long-term aim of using your poll while the objectives are the milestones described by the questions you decide to ask. 

When coming up with questions, make them interesting and aim to spark the imagination of your subscribers. Sparking their imagination hooks them since they have to invest their time in visualizing what would happen after the poll’s results are out. 

When possible, aim to come up with cutting edge and timely questions. Such questions cover current events affecting your subscribers. Relate the current events to your content and how they are finding it. Such questions make your subscribers more interested because you are giving them a chance to express their opinions on what should be done to help solve some issues they are facing due to the present events. 

Consider giving your subscribers a chance to help you think. You do this by coming up with predictive questions such as those requesting your subscribers to select an outfit for you or a precise type of content to make. Predictive questions make polls more fun and encourage the subscribers to come back seeking for the results of the poll. 

Conclusively, when brainstorming on the right questions to ask your subscribers, make it about them. Ask questions that look into the essence of them receiving better services, what is happening in their lives, and more. If you decide to make it about you, ensure that the subscribers feel like they are in control. Ask them questions requesting opinions on what you should do to make them more satisfied with your content and more. This way, they would feel like they have some power to dictate what you should do. Though, ensure you have set clear boundaries regarding what you can and cannot do for them. Make sure your subscribers are aware of the boundaries. 

3. Create and launch the polls on OnlyFans 

Now that you have poll questions that you need votes for, it is time to create and launch the polls on OnlyFans. OnlyFans has an inbuilt polling feature with scheduling capabilities allowing you to input more than one poll question and schedule as desired. 

To access the polling feature, start a new post and click on “add poll”. OnlyFans polls occur as posts on your OnlyFans feed. Once you have clicked on “add poll” you will be allowed to type in your question including the options. After keying in your questions and options, you will be required to choose an expiration period for your polls. The expiration periods are 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, and no limit. After selecting an expiration date, you can schedule the post or post it instantly. 

4. Evaluate the results and put the insights gained to good use

After the polls expire based on the time you had allocated, analyze the results to spot patterns, trends, and insights. Patterns and trends reveal to you what is working and what is not, while insights are the useful observations that you make and can act upon. 

Reference your goals to determine whether they have been achieved. If not, also evaluate why that happened. Both negative and positive results should be looked into, especially the negative ones because they reveal the weaknesses of the business to you. 

Keep a record of the responses you received and compare to those that you had expected based on your target group. This move helps you determine whether there are shifts in behavior that are occurring among your subscribers without you noticing. You may think you know your subscribers better, but end up being wrong. 

If there are changes to be made with reference to the outcome of the poll or polls, make the changes promptly. Making the needed changes shows your subscribers that you are committed to serving them with great content and do listen to them. They will keep supporting your OnlyFans business allowing you to earn steadily from it. 

5. Consider sharing the results

After analyzing and implementing various changes based on the results of the poll, you should consider sharing the results of some of the polls. You can take a screenshot and share them as a post. This serves as evidence that you are doing what they requested and not acting based on your expectations. 

Sharing the results of your polls also builds trust between you and your subscribers, boosting your credibility. They would view you as a transparent person who takes time to show fans what is happening under the hood. 

6. Refine forthcoming polls

Developing great polls requires continued practice and correcting your mistakes. By going through the strategies you used and the results of your past OnlyFans polls, you should be able to spot your weaknesses and strengths. Work on your weaknesses each time you create new polls and keep improving on your strengths.  

OnlyFans polls grant you the power to influence specific behaviors of your audience by asking them personalized questions which allow you to understand them better. To use OnlyFans polls like a pro, you must target the right subscriber group, come up with SMART goals and derive the right questions, create and launch the polls on OnlyFans, evaluate the results and put the insights gained to good use, consider sharing the results, and refine forthcoming polls.
