The Power of The Fan Funnel: Find and Generate More Fans To Your Onlyfans

Estimated Reading Time: 1 min 48 sec

So, you finally set up your creators’ account on OnlyFans and started creating and posting content. However, there’s probably little to no engagement on your posts despite the quality and pedigree of the content. Sure, that’s an easily relatable story for most models and creators on OnlyFans.

Sadly, the issue isn’t in the content or niche you choose to run with. Rather, you’ve got no fans, and that’s just what it is! 

Whether you notice it or not, as a model on OnlyFans, it’s much more difficult to gain a fan that consistently engages with your content and pays up that subscription fee to get exclusive content offers; especially when you work alone instead of with a reputable agency. 

Most models or creators on OnlyFans don’t understand that there isn’t a ready-made fanbase waiting on them the moment they become creators on this platform. Instead, it is built up from scratch. 

So, where do fans come from?

It’s one question that has been asked over and over again, where do fans come from?

Fans are everywhere. They’re on every platform, forums, and the comment boxes. However, getting them to become your loyal fan is where the problem lies. A lot of models and creators on OnlyFans take social media followers for their fans. So you could easily ask how many fans they have, and they’ll probably call out the number of followers on their social media page or something.

That’s totally the wrong way to see it, and a lot of that is visible when you put up an offer on your social media or OnlyFans page, only to find out it got less engagement from your supposed fanbase. At the same time, a loyal fanbase will engage your offers with high enthusiasm. 

As a model on OnlyFans, you must understand that it takes a lot of time to turn a total stranger or social media follower, in most cases, into your loyal fan. This is where making fans comes in. 

We know where fans can come from and how to make them stay to help you earn more money. Apply now to get started. 

How to generate fans

It all starts with the social media

The world is fast changing, and virtually everyone has an online presence these days. Fortunately, it’s an avenue to generate fans. The first step to generating fans is having a social media presence. Everyone does! However, what separates regular Harry from the hot OnlyFans model is the value of your content. 

Treat everyone important 

If you aim to generate fans from scratch, you need to understand that everyone is just as important. There’s no special treatment to a few sets of folks and subpar engagement to others. Every one of your fans matters and should be treated as very important. If you can clearly convey this message to a single person, it surely will get to others. 

Offer value on your social media 

Just like we have earlier said, content value is what separates a model from a regular folk who’s just on social media to get entertained. The next step to generating fans is offering value on social media. This could be any platform — Reddit, Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter, you name it.

Take out the time to churn out quality content, and you’ll turn heads within the shortest notice. It comes naturally; people will typically pay attention to you if they can immediately spot the value in your content. 

Engage more

Engaging your potential fans can seem insignificant, but it will surely pay off in the long run. Taking out time to reply to comments and DMs will make your audience know that you genuinely care.

Don’t just create a barrage of content, ENGAGE! That’s where connection-building starts from. When people feel the genuine intention to reach out to them, they will start warming up to you. It makes them see you more as a human rather than a cold social figure. 

Leave a bait

A great way to get people to become fans is by giving some in exchange for something that works your fan funnel. This could be giving limited free access to exclusive photos and videos of you in exchange for a visit to your page on OnlyFans or a follow on social media. 

Be consistent

People are busy or probably engaged with some other stuff. It could be their family, work, a hobby, or something. Hence, putting out a string of content and going dormant for some while will yield no tangible result. This is mainly due to the fact that they’re not yet your fans, and it will be a lot of work on your part to get them to become one.

You need to constantly remind them of what you offer, and this doesn’t mean you should go to their personal Dms and cause a nuisance. Just posting quality content consistently is enough to get the genuine attention you need.

This way, you’ll have a plethora of people just waiting to devour your next content. 

Collaborate with other models and creators

One thing that collaborations do is open up a different dimension to people who don’t know you. 

A good way to do this is by getting in front of an already existing audience and that’s possible through collaborations. So this is a great opportunity to show what you’re all about to a new audience, and soon, they could be interested enough to follow you if they like what they see. 

The proven fan funnel system 

Gaining fans from scratch can be a difficult process altogether. From creating awareness to converting total strangers to your loyal fans, it requires concise planning, and there’s no better way to do it than creating a fan funnel.

Understanding fan funneling

If you aim to earn a living as a model on OnlyFans, then a part of that quest is identifying a niche and then building a fan base around that niche to help market your content effectively and earn a living. Unfortunately, many models neglect the fan funnel or probably find it difficult to understand. 

A fan funnel is a system or a setup procedure you’d likely draw out for your typical fans to follow. These steps will help build trust and develop a bond with your brand. The aim of a fan funnel system is to guide your potential fans to the end of the funnel where you strike a deal. For OnlyFans models, the bottom of that funnel is where you get fans to subscribe to your content, sell out PPV messages, get tipped, etc. 

The fan funnel takes a lot of time and work on your part as a model or creator on OnlyFans, that’s because people won’t just pay for stuff they probably know nothing about or aren’t sure of. This is why the fan funnel system helps develop a connection between you as a model and your fans. 

Steps to setting up an effective OnlyFans fan funnel

Typically, a fan funnel may differ for every model or creator of Onyfans, which depends on three main factors: goals, strategies, and audience. While these factors may line up differently for every model, they’re a necessary tool for an effective fan funnel.

What a fan funnel may look like

• Total strangers randomly come across a teasing photo or video of a model on Instagram. 
• They’re drawn to what they see, so they move straight away and hit up the follow button to see more. 
• They open up the model’s profile and see lots of regular content from them, including photos, videos, and write-ups, plus a link on their status to their OnlyFans page if they want to see something more exquisite.
• Finally, they’re halfway through the funnel, so they visit their page on OnlyFans and find a few raunchy contents. But they want more. 
• At some point, the model or creator drops a highly appealing photo or video content with an opportunity to see more on PPV messages, or they’ll probably have to subscribe to their content. 

Well, they’re interested so they pay up. At this point, a deal has been struck, and you’ve gotten them where you want. 

It’s probably a familiar sequence most models can relate to. However, this isn’t a defined way every model may visualize or set up a fan funnel on OnlyFans. The steps may be inconsistent but will surely lead to the main goal, which is to create a favorable atmosphere where you can easily sell out your content to fans who are genuinely interested in what you offer. 

Goal setting

Establishing a goal is the first step to setting up an effective fan funnel. What goal do you aim to achieve as an OnlyFans model? For some models on OnlyFans, this might be to become one of the top 1% of models. For others, it might just be to earn a living whether they become top models or not. Determining your goal at the initial stages is essential as it will define what path your typical fans will follow to reach that goal. 

You can always set up micro goals that your fans will achieve on their way down the funnel. This way, each micro goal completed is a step down to the end of the funnel, which is where your main goal lies.

Targeting stage (Creating Awareness)

The targeting/awareness stage is as important as the first step. Located at the top of the fan funnel is the targeting stage where you set a realistic plan of action for possible targets. In addition, your strategy and medium to target potential fans are enlisted here.

This step is essential because it is where you spell out various means you’d likely use to make your target audience aware of you and what you’re all about on OnlyFans. 

This may include,

• Words of the mouth, like telling your friends and families or getting a referral from them
• Instagram and Facebook Ads
• Reels on Instagram or Tik Tok Videos
• Sharing your link on Social media platforms like reddit, Twitter, and the rest.

This can start as a social media following on whatever platform you choose to run with. A good way to create the awareness you need on Social media is by putting out great content. By this, we mean teasers, reels, and photo shoot sessions; anything that will get heads turning. 

You can then have your close friends and family follow you and possibly refer your page to their friends. This way, you should have gotten a few people to your fan funnel. The good thing about this is that if you keep on producing great content on social media, then the rest will take care of itself, as you’d have more people following you in no time.

Remember, this is just a micro goal that makes up your fan funnel system. Achieving this means you’re ahead in your quest to build a loyal fanbase for your Onlyfans page. 

Engagement

This is the phase of the funnel where it gets all interesting. At this point, you’ve successfully wooed your soon-to-be paid fans to your OnlyFans Page. So half of the battle is already won.

This phase is where you build a relationship with your fans. For some, this can be a very slow phase as most fans may reluctantly remain here without moving down the funnel as you anticipate. So what you do from here is nurture your fans and build a rapport with them. This involves consistently putting out more entertaining and quality content and engaging your fans in the comments.

A great micro goal here can be to create a poll asking what they think about your content in exchange for unique content. You can then follow this up by replying to every comment that hits the comment section. What this does is, it encourages participation. But, more so, it lets them understand that their opinions are also important. This is a very important stage as it will determine if they’ll trust you enough to invest in you financially. 

Conversion phase (Final stage)

Being the bottom part of an effective fan funnel, the conversion stage is where you strike a deal. Once you’ve nurtured your fans from the engagement phase, they’re more likely to invest in you without hesitation. You can now request tips from fans, put up subscription prices for more exquisite content, engage in pay-per-view messages, and more.

Chances are that if you’ve gone over the other phases of this sales funnel, you’re more likely to get an active fanbase who trust you and are always ready to support you. However, the process is continuous and never ends. You still have to nurture and regularly engage to get the best result from your already set-up fan funnel. 

How many platforms can one use to gain fans

There are lots of platforms where OnlyFans creators or models can gain a myriad of fans and fandom. Social media platforms are great places to start from. However, you should be wary of how you post links to your page on most social platforms. Still, you can use these platforms to gain attention and awareness from people and then use the fan funnel system to get them to be your loyal fans. 

Platforms OnlyFans can use

Reddit communities

Reddit offers high tolerance to most risque content and is great for models who want to tease potential fans. 

Twitter 

Twitter also offers a similar tolerance level for sexually-explicit content, so you can use this as well. Plus, hashtags can help you get more in front of your target audience. 

Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, and the likes are a few places you can equally use. However, these may be a little strict with some forms of nudity. So you should be careful while using them, so you don’t get suspended or shadowbanned.

Additionally, most platforms will not allow you to post your OnlyFans Page link. This can be a little frustrating when trying to get fans to your OnlyFans Page. However, if you utilize Linktree for all your social links, you can point potential fans to the site so they can find all your OnlyFans page links as well as your other social handles. 

Getting fans at the initial stages of your modeling career on OnlyFans can be frustrating and difficult. Fortunately, setting up a fan funnel can help ease the process. It establishes a market made up of interested and hungry fans who are readily available to jump at your content irrespective of the price.
