These tricks and tips are sure to make you successful and boost your chances of earning more. From page optimization to marketing and promotions (gaining more subscribers and earning more), we’ve compiled a lineup of the most effective OnlyFans Tips and Tricks for your success.
There’s only so much you can learn from this exciting lineup. So read along to find out what you’re missing.
OnlyFans page optimization
The OnlyFans profile page is the first piece of project every creator first works with. It seems easy to set up a profile and earn money from the get-go. However, not everyone who sets up a page becomes a successful creator. This part will take you through the perks of setting up an outstanding OnlyFans Page. For a bonus, we’ll cover the plethora of features available to creators and models and how they can best utilize these features. Plus, we’ll also cover the perks that are so essential but often neglected or totally ignored.
1. SETTING UP A USERNAME
If you’re just starting out as a creator on OnlyFans, then you’re probably not so familiar with the fact that you’ll have to set up a Username. However, if you’re already a creator or run similar pages on other platforms, you’ve probably nailed this already. But if you haven’t, here are a few things you may not have considered while setting up your username on OnlyFans.
#. SIMPLICITY: it’s one thing to set up a Username that sounds cool, and it’s another to remember this “set” username when promoting. A basic rule of thumb is to choose a simple username that can easily be remembered. Remember, not only are you going to be integrating this username everywhere you can and during promotions, but it also needs to be something your fans or followers can easily remember.
#. COORDINATION: Again, when setting up your unique USERNAME, you may opt to make it feel or look cooler by adding tons of hyphens and other symbols. While that’s cool, it is harder to remember where you placed the hyphens. And this isn’t just about you; your fans will find this difficult to process as well.
#. NICHE SELLING: every part of your page should aim as much to sell ‘you.’ This includes your username. Try to incorporate subtle identifiers and your niche so fans can easily know what you do and what you’re all about. A few features like body type, age, hair color, etc., Can be integrated into your username.
#. USERNAME CHANGE: while you’re after tweaking your username to one that follows the trends or sounds a lot better, we highly advise against changing your usernames regularly. If possible, use one username for the entirety of your OnlyFans career, as this username will be integrated into every post, promotion, and engagement. Additionally, this will confuse your fans if it’s changed every now and then.
2. BIO
Your OnlyFans Bio is where the basic stuff goes. Many times creators fill them with tons of information about themselves and their content. You’ve got to understand that only a few sentences will be visible to people who see your page. So it’s best to keep it short and simple. Try as much to cover the vital parts in the first two sentences. This part may Include a few things about you and what sort of content you make.
Tip 1- you may not notice if you’re new to OnlyFans, but your bio cannot carry any promotion links. This means you can’t drop links to your other social media handles. However, you can still do a lot of advertising. You can easily tell people who view your profile to follow your handle like this, @name without leaving a link. Remember, every form of promotion is important.
Tip 2- your Bio serves a multitude of purposes. If you’re keeping your hungry fans expecting, you may as well let them know how often you will make content. This info can go in your Bio.
Tip- 3 Go all out! One thing people who aim to be successful on OnlyFans often neglect in their Bio is an “About you” section. This part is very important to your fans and your page. This is where you Include info about yourself and the type of content you produce. Plus, you can leave breadcrumbs here to reel in more subscribers. For example, why people should actually subscribe to your content. Be persuasive yet simple here.
3. Pinned Post
A pinned post is just like the one on every other platform. It lets you put out a certain post on your page, so everyone gets to see it at first glance without going through your entire profile.
Tip 1 – Sell out with ” Custom introductory Video.”
Not often do creators take advantage of the custom pinned post feature. To some, it may be recruiting their best post in a pinned post, which isn’t bad. But here’s a quick trick. Next time you set up your page on OnlyFans, make an introductory video of yourself and the content you intend to make. People become more drawn to videos than written posts because they’ll get to hear and see what you sound and look like. Finally, make sure to pin this to your profile so everyone who goes through your page sees this first.
4. AMAZON WISHLIST
An Amazon wishlist is a list of items a creator plans to get. So if you’re eyeing up a certain product on Amazon, you can add this to your Wishlist. OnlyFans lets you share this list with your subscribers, so they can see what you wish for or like without having to read up about it or even ask you.
Asides from tips on OnlyFans, subscribers, and fans can go the extra mile to get your gifts and stuff on your Amazon wish list.
Tip 1- No commissions
Unlike subscriptions where OnlyFans gets to keep 20% of everything you make, an Amazon wishlist doesn’t carry the same terms. Fans and Subscribers can get you complimentary gifts as a show of appreciation or more like a tip, and you get to keep it all. Be sure to attach your Amazon wishlist to your OnlyFans account.
Tip 2- Edit your Security
One thing that could stand in as a bit of a disadvantage is the fact that while checking out, fans or subscribers may get to see your address which is your state and city. Even worse, having your address out there isn’t good for business. Plus, you don’t want fans trooping in and catching you unawares. So here’s what you can do.
Click on the link for <Gifts & Wishlists>. This is located at the top page above the search box. Go ahead and check if your address is visible by tapping <See What They See>. This should be “Show Ship To: No Address Entered.” If it’s a different thing you find, then go back and click on <Manage This List> and then <Edit Settings> and select <None> before saving the settings. You’re now safe from people knowing your exact location by address.
5. PAID SUBSCRIPTION PROMOTIONS
OnlyFans allows creators to create promotions. Like every new creator just starting out on OnlyFans, gaining your first few subscribers may be difficult. One thing you can do is offer subscription-based promotions, which you can access through Edit Profile- Subscriptions.
Tip 1- A simple trick to reel in new subscribers is to offer subscriptions at a discounted price for a number of people, and when that number is met, the price returns to normal. This can be a useful trick to pull off if you’re trying to gain new subscribers fast. Plus, you can moderate promotion prices to go below the minimum $5 subscription threshold.
Tip 2- Subscription Bundles
Another great perk to play with is the subscription bundle feature. You can include subscription bundles for subscribers that aim to help them save more if they subscribe ahead of time. For example, say your subscription price stands at $8 per month. You can offer a three-month plan for $20. This way, your subscribers save $4. This works every time, and your subscribers will pay ahead most of the time. However, be sure not to overdo this.
6. SUBSCRIPTION PRICING
This is the price you set for your monthly subscriptions on OnlyFans. The minimum you can set for this is $5, while the max is $50.
Tip 1- Pick The Perfect Subscription Price
It’s one thing to set a price, and it’s another to get subscribers who actually pay that price for what it’s worth. A basic rule of thumb when just starting out with subscription prices is to set a price that fits the content you produce and your worth. A high price may drive away potential subscribers, while a low price may translate to low confidence on the creator’s part. You can check for creators who make similar content and try to adjust your pricing to what they offer.
7. FANS REFERRAL & REWARD
Gain access to an easy trick that creators do not utilize as often. You can enable an option that allows your fans to gain access to your content for free if they successfully refer people who aren’t subscribed to your content. While this doesn’t seem like the biggest trick in the lineup, you can also take advantage of this. Imagine having hundreds of already subscribed members; this feature will enable them to bring in new subscribers, and it’ll cost you just a month’s subscription.
You can access this perk under <FANS AND FOLLOWING> and then turn on ‘1 Month Free For Referrer.’
8. TURN ON FAN NOTIFICATION
This feature will be a highly powerful tool for fans who are obsessed with you. Fans can see in real time if they’re in the top 1% or 5% of your followers. OnlyFans calculates this according to their engagements with your content and account. So for the fans who love to stay your number 1, they’ll do all it takes, including competitive engagements and even going as far as promoting you. You can allow notification from the “FANS AND FOLLOWING” tab. Ensure to leave this turned on.
9. SHARE YOUR PERSONALITY
Fans love to know what the creators they admire like and dislike. They crave to see your side of the world and will undoubtedly want to live it if they can. Well, you’ve got a shot at showcasing this. With the Things I Like feature, you can link to other sites like IMDB, YouTube, Amazon, and Goodreads. This way, you can reveal a part of yourself not shown on OnlyFans.
10. EARN SOME EXTRA BUCKS FROM DM TIPS
If you’re a top creator on OnlyFans, then you’ll admit the insane number of spam messages you get. Worse still, if you ever promised to reply to every DM (Direct Message), you’d have to keep up with that until the very end. But here’s a trick we advise models to use. Under Settings>Chats, you can optimize it so that one can’t send you a DM without leaving a tip. While this is a secret way to get extra cash, it also reduces the number of spam messages.
11. FANS WELCOME MESSAGE
Get to welcome new fans to your page by turning on welcome messages for new fans under the settings>chats option. This can be made very enticing with videos, audio messages, and written posts.
Tip- Enable PPV for free accounts
If you’re running a free Onlyfans page, you can turn on PPV messages so that fans who first visit your page have the option to pay immediately for your content.
12. ONLYFANS QR CODE
OnlyFans also has a QR code option you can display anywhere. Like other platforms, you have your unique QR code and can have this displayed with your image anywhere instead of leaving a link to your profile.
To access this, head over to Settings> General> Qr codes. Download your unique QR code from here and start promoting.
13. PAGE STATISTICS
Get in to really figure out how your page and content fares with OnlyFans Page statistics. You can see views, purchases, unique viewers, durations, comments, and tips in real-time. This can be a very powerful feature if you want to be successful in OnlyFans. So do well to always check this out.
Tip 1- target with precision
OnlyFans Page statistics last for 24 hours and don’t just give you a mirror view of what fans and people are doing on your page but also show you your top traffic sources. For example, see the number of guests, users, country of origin, etc. You can now precisely tailor your content to fit this category of people.
14. CREATE A TIP MENU LIKE A PRO CREATOR
Tip menus on OnlyFans allow content creators and cam models to get a tip for rendering a particular service. This feature can be added to posts, live streams, and DMs. You can make this much more interesting by offering tip varieties for different activities. Pro creators on this platform often utilize the Canva app to make a tip menu that can be pinned to your page. These tip menus provide a long list of services creators offer and the tip prices.
15. MAKE THE BEST OUT OF YOUR ONE PROVIDED LINK
Asides from the link to your Amazon wish list, OnlyFans offers creators one clickable link. What you want to do is make the best out of your one provided link. A simple trick is to lead your fans to a platform with all your links since you can not advertise them individually in OnlyFans. Using Linktree, you can direct your fans and followers to other links you want to promote.
16. PAGE PRIVACY
If you’re just starting on OnlyFans and have a few fan engagements and subscribers, it may be best to turn off your activity status as well as your fan and media. Since you only have a few subscribers and engagements, this may be a turn-off for potential subscribers.
17. TURN OFF TIPS AND COMMENTS
Most creators aren’t comfortable with having the sum of tips received shown on their posts. Fortunately, you can turn this off by clicking on ‘Posts’ and adjusting it to what you’re comfortable with. Also, you can turn off comments as well if you’re having a hard time monitoring fan comments on posts.
18. MAKE THE MOST OF LIVE STREAMS
Like regular subscriptions, you can charge a price for your live streams; your fans will have to pay before joining in. This is another interesting way to maximize your earnings on this platform.
19. LEAVE A NOTICE BEFORE LIVE STREAMS
For maximum engagement and fan activity during live streams, be sure to promote this before time and let your subscribers know you’ll be going live.
20. CHOOSE WHO CAN ACCESS YOUR LIVE STREAM.
If you feel a certain group of people or fans shouldn’t join your live stream, you can always adjust your settings to allow only a select group of people. Additionally, this can be a very effective trick when targeting paying fans. You can access this feature before going live under ‘Available to.’
21. TARGET PAYING FANS WITH DM
It can sometimes be frustrating sending out a bunch of DMs to fans who may not be interested in what you’re offering. A good way to find interested subscribers at all times is to target them. For example, you want to always place followers who tip often or PPV fans into a group; this way, you can target them when you’re next sending out DMs.
22. HAVE A SECOND ACCOUNT
It won’t hurt to own a second account if you’re already running a paid subscription account on OnlyFans. However, unlike a paid subscription account, a free subscription account lets you gain followers and sell PPV messages as well as collect tips. Plus, you don’t have to pay for this.
It gives you an edge in your earnings, and you can easily switch between both accounts.
23. UTILIZE THE VAULT FEATURE
One standout feature on OnlyFans is the vault. All your posts ever made on OnlyFans, whether on your wall or live streamed, go here. So you can always take out content ideas from old content even after they’ve been deleted and re-purpose them for future content.
OnlyFans Content Creation Tips And Tricks
Content Creation is essential if you aim to earn money or gain followers on OnlyFans. The tips and tricks below are pivotal if you want to successfully churn out great content at all times.
24. SET A CONTENT SCHEDULE
Your OnlyFans account is a business, and you should treat it as such. Following a content plan or schedule is a great way to front-load your posts ahead of time. This will keep you organized and focused on providing content following the schedule. Ensure to include in your content schedule how often you want to post content and start making them ahead of time so you don’t get stuck in-between last-minute decisions and pressure.
25. POST HIGH-QUALITY CONTENT
Content Creation is essential if you aim to earn money or gain followers on OnlyFans. The tips and tricks below are pivotal if you want to successfully churn out great content at all times.
If you’re going to succeed as a creator or model on OnlyFans, you’ve got to take your content game very seriously. This includes uploading high-quality content at all times. Note you don’t have to be a professional photographer or graphic designer to replicate stunning images and videos. You can have high-quality content by providing good lighting for your shoots and videos, using interesting and stunning locations, and trying out various angles and shooting perspectives. For written content, ensure to proofread as you don’t want to spill out errors in front of your paid fans.
Tip 1- High resolution is important
Using a high resolution for your pictures and videos is key to having images or videos that depict quality. Always stand as close to the camera as possible and avoid zooming in. Instead, you can have the photo cropped later on while editing.
Tip 2- Lighting
While making your videos or image content, try to invest some money in lighting. Use as much natural lighting as possible and avoid backlighting, as this can cast a shadow effect on your images or videos.
26. UTILIZE OTHER MEDIUMS AS TEASERS
The competition on OnlyFans is fierce, and if you’re going to stand out, you’d have to utilize every bit of trick in the bag. One thing you can’t stop fans or potential subscribers from doing is checking you out on other social media platforms like Instagram. Here’s a simple trick, ensure to have short teasing videos on Instagram for the curious fans who’ll check you out. This way, you get to reel them in without showing too much.
27. SET A SCHEDULE FOR SEASONAL CONTENT
The interesting thing about creating content on OnlyFans is that it may be difficult to run out of content ideas because every season brings with it a reason to create content. Say Christmas or Halloween, even international women’s day is a great time to put out post-related content. What you can do is take out a calendar and mark out these periods so you don’t have to make hasty decisions later on.
28. ASK YOUR AUDIENCE!
So you’re stuck trying to figure out what to post or what next post idea will get tons of fan engagement. Ask your fans!
You can include the “Add poll” feature from the post composer and click on the ADD POLL icon to create a poll. You can ask your questions here. It can be anything as long as it’s interesting and sparks a conversation with your fan base. Overall, it can be a great tool for getting content ideas.
29. ENSURE YOUR POSTS ARE TIME ZONE SENSITIVE
Another good thing about OnlyFans Page statistics is that you can see where most of your traffic is coming from. Most importantly, you can see the country and how they are able to find your OnlyFans Page. Unfortunately, most creators forget this and go ahead with putting out content. However, if you require good engagement from your fans, then you should do well to look up the statistics and see how often and when to target your highest traffic source.
30. IMPROVE CONTENT THROUGH FAN FEEDBACKS
Just like live streams where you can share your time with your fans or just have fun, you can use this medium to ask for suggestions and feedback from your fans on the content you put out. Another way to do this is through PPV messages if you’re using a free subscription page. Remember, subscribers pay you to message them; as much as you want to promote and market at all times, it’s also great to utilize these opportunities to ask for feedback on your content. This way, you get to know how well your content is doing and possibly make it even better.
Onlyfans Marketing Tips And Tricks
31. HAVE A CONTACT LIST
A good way to keep selling to your audience is to have one of these. A contact list will help you reach out to your fans even when they stop using OnlyFans. Unfortunately, you can’t see the contacts of your followers on OnlyFans. What you can do is get their social handles or e-mails. This way, you can always keep them updated with fresh offers and content ideas. This can be stressful, but it sure lets your fans know you care. Plus, it will definitely be worth it later in the future.
32. BUILD A NETWORK
A great way to jump-start success on OnlyFans is to build a network with like-minded and similar creators. The top earners don’t tell you this. Reaching out to a creator in the same niche as you will give you an edge when it comes to promotions and marketing. More so, you can both brainstorm and share growth-oriented ideas. Plus, you get to be shown to a new audience who could end up subscribing to your content.
33. HUNT DOWN PROSPECTS IN COMMENT BOXES
Creators don’t notice the number of buyers commenting on other creators’ posts more often. Many times you would see this and just read through it. However, you can use this to your advantage when marketing. You can follow these buyers or send them a DM to discuss further. You should never feel ashamed to do this as you never know where your next buyer will come from.
34. IF IT’S NOT WORKING OUT, SWITCH IT UP!
It’s great to work with a particular idea or market until you succeed and start earning hundreds of dollars from it monthly. However, this isn’t always going to be the case. In fact, it’s one of the mistakes creators make on OnlyFans. If and when you’re not getting the right engagement or response from followers, you can switch it up and try a different market. Be exploitive and try not to be scared to try something new.
35. REEL IN MORE UNIQUE SUBSCRIBERS WITH YOUR HOBBIES
Is there something you’re passionate about? Perhaps, a hobby? Instead of pushing it away and setting all your focus on your OnlyFans, you can work on your hobbies, probably on a different social media platform. Most of the time, it’s the followers who find you interesting on those other platforms that become your paid subscribers on OnlyFans.
Do well to promote your OnlyFans on these other platforms as well.
36. SOCIAL MEDIA IS YOUR MOST PRIZED ASSET, PROTECT IT
It’s never a good thing when your social media handle gets banned or restricted because you went against the rules. Remember, this is a very integral part of promotions and gaining subscribers. What you want to do to avoid these bans is avoid adult content at all cost, as this can get you banned on most social media platforms. Try to read the rules for each platform to know how best to engage them without getting restricted or banned.
37. YOUR REPUTATION BREEDS SUCCESS
Having a bad reputation on OnlyFans won’t just see your followers or subscribers reduce in number. It could mark you off as a creator to be avoided by other creators on the platform. For this reason, a basic rule of thumb is to think about the effect before putting out any comment, posting, or replying to DMs. This can be screenshotted and used against you in the future.
38. GET YOUR TOP CONTENT FROM OTHER PLATFORMS TO ONLYFANS
You can only make money through ad campaigns and endorsing products as an influencer or popular figure on other social media platforms. However, on OnlyFans, you can start earning money right away as people will have to pay you to see your content. What you can do is move your content from other platforms to OnlyFans and start the monetization process immediately.
39. WORK WITH A TEAM
Nothing beats working with a team that sees the same vision as you and works hand-in-hand with you to achieve success. You can go ahead and hire a team or work with an Agency to better your chances of becoming successful in less time.

OnlyFans Tips And Tricks for success with Twitter
40. PINNED POST
This is a very important post on your Twitter page. Your pinned post on Twitter gets most of the attention and retweets. What you want to do is have your OnlyFans link included in this post. You can go extra by leaving a custom introductory Video here so your followers can know more about you.
41. RT GROUPS ARE A GOLD MINE
If you want to see rapid growth in your OnlyFans success, a great trick to pull off is to join a RT group on Twitter. These groups exist on Twitter, and most OnlyFans creators use this to drive more exposure to themselves and their content. You can join one of these to benefit from the exposure. Be sure to join a RT group with fewer creators, as the ones with more creators mean you’ll only get less exposure.
42. USE HASHTAGS
You may not have known this, but hashtags originated from Twitter, and they’re a very effective tool if you aim to drive more exposure to your OnlyFans promotion content. You can use a combination of less popular and popular hashtags. Also, try to switch up your hashtags every now and then to keep things fresh and interesting. Lastly, be more specific with your hashtags, as they can be ineffective if used wrongly.
43. GO SENSITIVE
One way you can get banned easily on Twitter is by posting 18+ content. However, you can get a license for this by labeling your content as sensitive. Access this by going to your account settings and then ‘Safety and Privacy.’ There, you will have the option to put a checkmark on your content. This way, every content or material you post here will be considered sensitive. Hence, you cannot get banned or restricted for it.
Onlyfans tips and tricks for reddit
44. REDDIT PINNED POSTS.
When people visit your profile on Reddit, they get to see through a list of posts made by you. So you want to make sure your OnlyFans Page is heavily promoted here. Reddit allows you to include your OnlyFans link, so you attach your link here and pin it to your Reddit profile.
45. YOUR BIO ISN’T LEFT OUT.
Just like on OnlyFans, you can direct your followers to the platforms you’re on with your Reddit Bio. One disadvantage is that you cannot post a clickable link here but it can lead Interested followers to your profile.
46. TAKE NOTE OF SUBREDDIT RULES.
Unlike other platforms, Reddit is more strict when it comes to posting rules. As a result, you will be banned or disallowed from posting on Reddit. So be sure to check your posts and the rules to ensure that they conform with your OnlyFans promotions.
