- Plan and strategize before signing up for OnlyFans
- Set up an approvable profile
- Create compelling OnlyFans posts
- Promote your OnlyFans feed

- Do not give up
Your profile and content make up your OnlyFans feed. Every new user who lands on your feed makes a quick decision whether to subscribe or not by evaluating the outlook and presentation of your profile. The user can also view your content captions to determine whether your content is worth their time.
The user must first subscribe to view your content if you offer free subscription content and then decide whether to pay. Once they deem your free-tier content unsatisfactory, they will click off immediately. The decision to either pay for or skip your content shows how the nature of your feed impacts your OnlyFans sales and growth.
If you are not making sustainable sales and progress on OnlyFans, consider altering your feed setup using this in-depth walkthrough on creating a superb OnlyFans feed. If you are a beginner OnlyFans creator, kickstart your journey correctly by not skipping any of these steps:
1. Plan and strategize before signing up for OnlyFans
Most of OnlyFans’ content is regarded as Not Safe for Work (NSFW) content. NSFW content consists of nudity, sexually suggestive, and porn content. The remaining consists of non-adult content such as music, lifestyle, and art. This is the first piece of data you must remember when planning your OnlyFans content creation approach.
Do not treat OnlyFans like any other content hosting platform, such as YouTube or any adult content hosting site. OnlyFans provides you with a platform to sell exclusive content in exchange for a 20% cut. You keep 80% of your OnlyFans earnings. Therefore, you must prioritize planning and strategizing to generate maximum returns.
Why must you plan and strategize as an OnlyFans Content Creator ?
- To define your mission
Why do you want to start posting content on OnlyFans? Maybe you want to tell a unique story, connect with a specific group, or make as much as possible from sharing your exclusive photos and videos. Defining why you want to own an OnlyFans feed keeps you motivated.
- To determine your goals
What are your short-term and long-term goals? Maybe you want to earn about $300 in the first month and eventually earn more than $30,000 in the next two years. Having goals helps you watch your milestones and whether you have achieved them.
- To have a predefined road map
Once you have a mission and clearly defined goals, you develop a roadmap on how to reach the goals and fulfill your mission. You do not need a perfect road map at first. All you need is an idea of how to attain the goals. As you execute your plan, you will make changes and decisions that propel you towards your goals.
- To enhance your focus and efficiency
After defining your mission and goals, and coming up with a road map, you will have an easier time focusing and producing results efficiently because you have a reference point. If you become less motivated, you can take a break and resume building your feed without losing track.
What goes into an effective OnlyFans plan and strategy?
To come up with an effective plan and strategy, rely heavily on current OnlyFans statistics. Do a Google search to know what works and does not. Data informs you what other creators are doing and what fans prefer. For example, the average age of subscribers on OnlyFans is 35-45 years, therefore, if you create content for such an audience, the chances of you making sales increase.
You can also create a plan and strategize without using data, though you may make so many mistakes before you realize why your plan is not working. Other than defining your mission and goals, these are the sections you must include in your plan to come up with a road map:
- What is your content production budget?
OnlyFans’ business model requires you to invest in content production, editing, and publishing because poor quality content rarely sells on OnlyFans. You must invest in a great camera and learn content production skills such as videography, photography, and editing. If you do not have enough to invest, save first until you have enough money because OnlyFans is a business that requires at most seriousness.
You do not require so much money to start. If you cannot afford a great camera, get a great phone with a good camera, a tripod, and proper lighting. Learn content production techniques for free from tutorials provided on YouTube. If it is your first-time producing content, consider signing up for a premium practical course. It is that serious.
If you can afford it, hire a team to manage content production and publishing. To accelerate your growth and reduce the amount of decision-making required when deciding whether you have the right budget, seek guidance from an accredited agency.
Investing in a team saves you time. You can automate your whole business eventually and let your team run it while you only take part in the production. A good agency team will handle marketing and selling of content, and retaining subscribers. You will also learn much faster from the team than depending on free courses.
Conclusively, your budget should sustain content creation, team acquisition if possible, and, most importantly, risks. For example, you should have emergency funds to facilitate the replacement of cameras and other production kits or hiring new team members in case you need an extra hand.
- What content do you want to post?
OnlyFans allows creators to post both adult and non-adult content. You do not have to produce adult content to succeed in OnlyFans. Research a suitable niche such as tech, lifestyle, or personal improvement. Choose a niche with low competition and high search volume to boost your selling chances.
Do you want to show your face or hide it? OnlyFans allows their creators to have anonymous feeds where you do not have to show your face. OnlyFans provides you with features such as geo-blocking to control who can view your content. You can use a fictitious OnlyFans name as well as username and still make money.
Whether you decide to show your face or not, you must stick to one content type and niche to succeed on OnlyFans. Having an OnlyFans feed focused on one niche boosts your authority and credibility.
- How many posts do you want to post in a day, and at what time?
How many hours can you invest in content production? You should consistently produce OnlyFans content in your feed to grow and attract numerous subscribers. Define the time you have to create content. Also, determine the number of new posts you can upload on your OnlyFans feed daily.
Having a consistent posting time and number of posts gives your subscribers an easy time following through with your content. Additionally, you can retain your subscribers for an extended period if you produce content with consistent quality.
When starting, you cannot afford to invest all your time on OnlyFans unless you have a budget ready to cater for all your needs without having to work another job. If you are producing OnlyFans content and still going to work, check the company’s policies to avoid losing your job. Some companies do not want anything to do with an OnlyFans creator despite the content you sell.
- Which other platforms host your content?
Your fans only pay for exclusive OnlyFans content. You will lose funds and fans once they realize they can view your content on other platforms. Therefore, analyze all your content on other social media platforms, such as TikTok and Twitter and record the findings to avoid selling the same content on OnlyFans.
If your feed contains anonymous content, you must create new social media platforms to later use for marketing. If you are comfortable showing your face on OnlyFans and have previous posts on other platforms, you can later promote your feed on those social media platforms.
You are bound to grow your OnlyFans subscriber base quickly if you have previous followings and would love to produce exclusive OnlyFans content under the same niche. This advantage allows you to start earning on OnlyFans within a short period. A previous following also influences how you set up your OnlyFans profile to convert followers into fans.
2. Set up an approvable profile
Your profile is a part of your OnlyFans feed and every potential subscriber can view your profile. The profile set-up process is quick and straightforward. You can sign up instantly using your Google account or Twitter account. Alternatively, you can use any other email for the sign-up process. When creating an anonymous profile, use a fake email to create an account.
Once you have created an account, you must fill your profile with relevant information. The profile sections you fill include the username, display name, bio, location, website URL, subscription price and bundles, Amazon Wishlist and more.
As the first selling point of your OnlyFans feed, you must ensure that your profile is convincing. Use a username and display name that define your content type. If you are running a faceless OnlyFans feed, avoid using your real names and use nicknames or names that define the impact of your content.
Have a precise and catchy bio. Use the 1000 characters’ bio allowance to tell a compelling story. Subscribers love a good story and if yours fulfills their expectations, they will subscribe to your content.
Fill in your location details to allow close friends or family to find your content easily. If you want to stay anonymous on OnlyFans, choose a different location and use the geo-blocking feature to control who can view your content.
If you have a website, embed your link in the URL section. Having a website boosts sales and makes it easier for you to collect more income because once you make a sale through your website, you can keep every dollar.
You set your content price within the subscription section. You have the option to either provide free subscriptions or premium subscriptions. Do a market study to determine a fair price to charge. Based on data, about 82.4% of OnlyFans creators charge below $20 each month. Charge based on the value your content delivers. Rather than pricing your content cheaply to attract more subscribers, set up two OnlyFans accounts, one hosting free subscription content, the other premium content only. Use the free subscription-based account to get subscribers and direct them to the premium account so that they can pay monthly subscription fees.
Having two OnlyFans feeds also allows you to earn more because you can still sell exclusive content on the free subscription account through the pay-per-view model. On the premium account, subscribers first pay a monthly fee and you can still sell using the pay-per-view channel. You can request support from your subscribers by including your Amazon Wishlist link. For example, if you would love to buy a great camera, you can request your subscribers to get it for you by including it within your Wishlist.
OnlyFans also caters for Web 3 enthusiasts. If you are an artist and would love to sell your NFTs through OnlyFans, you can connect your Metamask wallet to facilitate transactions. You can also set up your Web 3 avatar.
Whether you create anonymous or public content on OnlyFans, OnlyFans must approve your account before you start earning. After filling up the profile section details correctly, you must provide your banking details for account approval.
Kindly provide your actual names and details, including the verification selfie, to hasten the verification process. You should either provide an actual photo of your driving license or ID. Once you provide all the details, wait for 48 hours for OnlyFans to verify your account.
3. Create compelling OnlyFans posts
Once OnlyFans approves your account, you can start posting content that will appear on your OnlyFans feed. Before you start posting OnlyFans content, ensure it does not violate any OnlyFans rules. When creating and posting content, consider the following tips:
- Your audience
Your posts should speak to specific people with precise age, sex, and race traits. Analyze the type of content you create and the niche to determine who might be interested in your content. Speaking to a single person whose problems you understand clearly allows you to satisfy the needs of several others who share the same problem. Do not address several people, just speak to a single person. Targeting a specific group of people increases the chances of you making sales when promoting your feed.
- The value of your content
Why should a subscriber invest their time and money in your content? The reason defines the value of your content. Your content should either educate, entertain, or solve a problem. Whether you make adult or non-adult content, your content must hold a specific value. Value is the driving force that makes people search for your information. For example, if you are a fitness coach, your content should help your subscribers get fit, they pay for this value.
- The quality of your content
Avoid posting grainy and low-quality photos and videos. Invest in a great camera or camera phone to produce high-quality content. High quality content defines your brand and boosts sales. Your subscribers feel the return they obtain from paying for your premium content. Additionally, ensure you keep producing valuable content consistently to increase the referrals you get and retain your subscribers for a long period.
- Is your content original?
No one wants to pay for regurgitated or generic content that they can find on other platforms for free. You must produce original content, only available on your OnlyFans. That scarcity makes subscribers pay to access the content. Original content is fun and intriguing to watch. If you produce original content for an extended period, your subscribers will view you as an authority in that field and consider consulting you.
- Is your content engaging?
The content on your feed must be actionable and fun. In case subscribers ask questions, they expect answers and you must be in the position to provide answers. To make your content engaging, include some question and answer sessions. For example, ask your subscribers the content they would love to view next and why. Once you get your subscribers’ responses, create such content, price it and post. Since they asked for the content, they are likely to pay.
- Does your content depict authority?
If your content covers topics that require authority and experience such as fitness and tech, create content that displays your authority. Discuss information from different sources and refute it in case you feel that it is incorrect. Providing alternatives to common daily problems that your subscribers face increases their trust in you. Your authority in a particular field makes them come back to view more of your content and to renew their monthly subscriptions.
4. Promote your OnlyFans feed
For every post you upload on your OnlyFans feed, your potential subscribers can view the number of likes your posts have without having to subscribe. They can also view your captions and profile. Likes serve as social proof and the more you have, the more people are going to subscribe to your content.
The only way for you to have more likes is by getting your feed in front of many viewers. Promote your posts on other social media platforms such as Twitter and Reddit to gain more subscribers and likes. For example, Reddit has both adult and non-adult content communities you can promote your content within.
Before promoting your OnlyFans feed on other social media platforms, read their rules and regulations to determine what type of content they allow. OnlyFans has a poor reputation due to hosting so much adult content and facilitating its sale, therefore many social media sites such as TikTok and Facebook do not allow the marketing of specific OnlyFans content.
Promoting on TikTok is tricky due to the many mistakes you may make. But, you should not be discouraged because gaining a huge OnlyFans subscriber following from TikTok is easy, you just need to know how to navigate the mistakes to avoid getting your account banned.
5. Monitor your feed and correct mistakes
Do not ignore the analytics of your OnlyFans feed. Monitor the number of comments and likes you get on every post. Also, record the sales you make each month and the strategies you use to create the posts on your feed. Data is king when evaluating a great OnlyFans feed because it has several liked posts, with several great comments and many fans.
How many positive and negative comments have you received? Positive comments encourage you to keep going and at times guide you on the next step to take when creating your next OnlyFans post. On the other hand, negative comments show you what you ought to change. Review the negative comments to know the mistakes you make and correct them. Regardless of receiving negative comments and having to act on them, keep in mind that some fans hate for no reason and that should not discourage you from posting content on your feed. You also do not have to act on every negative comment that requires you to make a change. Make a change when you feel it´s deserving.
The number of likes on your posts show whether your subscribers are pleased with your post. For every post that gets a few likes, request your subscribers to comment on the mistakes you committed within the post. Knowing why you aren´t getting many likes gives you insight into what your audience loves. You then proceed to adjust your post-making strategy using the insights. Once your subscribers realize your corrections, they will happily provide you with more information because you are a great listener.
Following through with your monthly sales informs you whether your sales strategy is working. You get to know why your sales grow and, at times, diminish. You may be losing subscribers and need to figure out why that is happening. Progressively monitoring your sales allows you to keep adjusting your sales strategy until you find one that works on a long-term basis.
6. Do not give up
The best way to create a great OnlyFans feed is by learning, making mistakes, correcting them, and repeating the process until you find that sweet spot that works for you. You may have to start all over again after switching niches to a better one, but you must keep going until you successfully achieve your goals on OnlyFans and have an OnlyFans feed that brings in steady income.
Conclusion
A good OnlyFans feed gets you more sales and subscribers. The only way to come up with one is by following the six-step process outlined in this article. You must go through the whole process without skipping any step and keep studying to implement the steps efficiently.
