What should I expect at OnlyFans?

[Vixxen81]

Most common OF scams is usually:
1. asking for “customs” holding paper with specific word, posing holding hand up specific way etc - this is because they wanting to steal your content and sell it elsewhere and need this photos/videos for verification.
2. Someone subscribing and right away buying ALL your PPVs, paying triple to have video call RIGHT NOW, paying extra to have custom video RIGHT NOW etc - they very likely to do chargeback. Here it’s a bit tricky because sometimes it’s just really excited horny dude. Unfortunately it’s very hard to tell the difference sometimes.

And then there’s other scams like sugar daddy looking for sugar baby, agencies asking to take over page etc etc but you’d need to be complete dummy first time on the internet to get caught on these.

Thank you! I thought that might be the case. Fortunately that hasn't happened so far, I'm keeping a pretty tight reign on the page. Or as tight as I can, I know it's an imperfect system.

Worst chargeback that happened to me is dude tipped $200 for 1 h Snapchat Sexting and I did it and he then charged back. It was in 2021. Ever since I enforce some rules and I only have chargebacks for subscriptions (last chargeback I have from October 2022) so they not that frequent comparing to how active I am and how many transactions I have.
My rules are 1) no same day customs 2) no customs holding paper with anything written etc 3) customs turn around 7 business days 4) cock ratings turn around 3 business days 5) A tip without agreement upon arrangement is just that - a tip and doesn’t oblige me to do anything 6) I VERY rarely take video calls and at specific set times & days of week and with regulars

I think all the scammers very unattracted by how slow my turn around times are lol
But for good responsible regulars I do everything quick. But for first day subscribers I just make sure I don’t do anything that require me get up and do much activity for long period of time, this way I’d be upset to see chargeback. But I can send out PPVs no problem, short sexting with pre made content etc

Hey everyone, I am currently awaiting approval on OnlyFans after an exhaustive process. Do you produce content? Do you subscribe to content creators? What should I expect in terms of well...everything. I'm intimidated by all of these super professional accounts on there. Such gorgeous, much prodution, so wow.

I think the best advice is to be yourself. There is no way for anyone to give you an idea of how successful you will be. Sometimes there are new accounts with hardly any content that shoot up and others that have heaps and struggle to get any subs. Unfortunately there are no guarantees either way. You can check out other successful models and what they do but that doesn't mean it will work for you. Try to have a bit of a plan for what you want to do and achieve and work towards it but don't get too discouraged if it doesn't work out for you. For every successful OF creator that is making a fulltime income there are thousands more that struggle to make enough to buy a dinner.

When you are posting paid content, do you find that if it sells, it sells straight away, or do people also scroll back to look at and buy what you have posted before?

I run a free subsricption OF with most content paid for. I try to post daily, but I have not yet quite figured out how the site works, like is it that people only look at the freshly posted content and dont ever scroll back or do some use it as a "video store" where they browse the models feed and buy older stuff too.

Sorry for hijacking - don't think this question warrants its on thread.

 

[darcyduke]

I've just started a page recently, and kinda put tonnes up so people can see that there is content there to view. I am presuming people scroll back to look at it.

I've had several purchases days after a PPV post.

 

[Vixxen81]

Also, don't hesitate to run a post as a campaign and add a $5 tip button. It's worked a few times for me.

I have paid page, when I create paid content I “look into future” kinda, so I try to make content that I don’t have yet and what’s most requested and I’m missing it in my “library”. So I send it out as PPV to current fans and to expired fans and then add it to my PPV menu and for B/G I also make post with campaign where new subs can tip for it and receive without having to read menu or have much communication with me.
This way I make something only once or very few times and then sell it for years. Just see what’s new fans requesting then most. For example fingering pussy, pussy clit toy, dildo riding front, dildo riding reverse, dildo just using hand, dildo blow job & deep throat, doggy, shower, bathtub, squirt and so on. Then in outfits black stocking, heels, red lingerie, office outfit, wearing glasses, go out dress etc.
So this way if you have variety of most common things new subscriber comes in, asking for xyz and whoop you sending them PPV.


I don’t use free page though, I have it but just to hold username. I tried to make it as clip store with all my PPVs and even videos from my Paid page feed but it was taking a too much of my time to maintain, I didn’t see much profit from it and I found out when free page was an option they would sub to my paid page less.

Wait is the milf ban new?? I use it all the time

This is just what I heard from another model, I only have firsthand experience with anything containing "pegging" not being able to post until I removed the word.

It's also not so much a ban in the way that you'll get in trouble for saying it as it is a banned word list that doesn't allow you to use it at all. So if you can still use milf then it's probably fine and I wouldn't worry about it.

But also, fuck onlyfans.

As a user, I'm curious to know if you kind creators have considered other platforms, such as Fansly? I created an account there to follow some creators, and ended up liking it a lot.

• You can have different subscription tiers, say $5 for mostly PPV, or $200 or something to unlock everything. Anytime you post, you can choose to price it differently, or not at all for different tiers. I think this is how Patreon works too.
• A website that actually feels fast and is pleasant to use. I hate how OF can feel sluggish at times, and sometimes it just fails to work if you have too many media on the same page.
• You can follow creators, which is different from subscriptions.
• It creates a "Made for you" section every day or so - which is like a tiktok-esque reel of content from creators you subscribe to or follow, or you may want to follow - an actual recommendation.
• A lot easier to search for creators using hashtags - although it's still not that great.
• You can actually load up your wallet with bigger amounts at once. For some reason OF now only allows $100 transaction max with $200 wallet limit - not sure if it is just me, but it didn't used to be like this before. Banks freak out with too many transactions if you end up spending more vs fewer bigger transactions.

Ofc, I'm not too familiar with their rev share, verification system or their user base. Just sharing my perspective.

You can thank Bella Thorne for the tip limit on Onlyfans. She broke their banking system in like three hours.

I think Fansly is probably a newer and more updated/modern interface for fans, and maybe even models, to use. However since Onlyfans is more known it'll always be a better/more profitable place for models to go just due to its "google-ablity". I've been a cam girl for over 13 years, so anyone who remembers my name, and also knows of onlyfans (which is a higher amount than fansly) can google "ambercutie onlyfans" and find me/subscribe.

There are a lot of controversial things that have come up over the last few years that have forced OF to make all of their transactions and verifications a LOT tighter and safer.

True, and you are on top of your game, just saying she's the one who forced OF to change how much one can tip in one shot. There are many articles about it and she was quite proud to break the system.

Yes she was the one to spur their bank restrictions. And the MC/Visa issue at Pornhub was probably a big reason they had to change their verificaton/ID issues. (In case you were curious I wasn't arguing your point, just backing it up since yes OF has had to lock down stuff recently to ensure their longevity in the industry.)

Fansly is doing MUCH better since they added tags and a good discovery tool. If you make niche fetish content they're more lenient. And generally, I'm now making the same as my OF there.

But i will keep both, OF is still so much better known.

 

[EasternPromis]

I have Fansly, I started account when Onlyfans announced getting rid of porn, and then when Russia-Ukraine war started they had 100% payouts for Ukrainian models (which I am) until 2023, so pretty much all 2022. However I don’t have all that much subscribers coming in there. I advertise both OF and Fansly same way - have them in my linktree in social media. But just to compare… I fluctuate 700-1000 subs in OF, in Fansly I have… 25! Lol and in February with $223.6 I’m 3.72% lol
I’m in top 1-1.5% fluctuating on Onlyfans which gets to me $8,000-$12,000/month.

Fansly does have nice features but sometimes is just too complicated and over the top.

I had various incidents with site being just too complicated to use, for example I ended up TIPPING subscriber along with video though I meant it to be locked PPV, also PPV media on the wall with previews glitched many times for me (or I did something wrong) that subs could see PPV without paying. Fansly support always was nice tho and responded in my favor! They also have chargeback protection.

I’d put more energy into learning site if it was just a bit more popular among subscribers. Onlyfans as of now very well known. I make sure my Fansly content is up to date though and it’s exact same as my Onlyfans. Maybe sometime in the future Fansly will overtake but I think for this more top models need to push it advertising.

I'm by no means an OF expert, but I like using the platform and find it complementary to live camming. But it takes work and organization. With camming, when you're ready to go, you pretty much just hit "broadcast" and you're in business (OK, it's more than that, but I hope you get my drift). With OF and the other fans sites you need to spend time preparing content and lining things up. The good news is you can schedule posts for later, so you can sit down and prepare a bunch of content, and then let it get posted bit by bit over time.

At least in my experience, the viewers want videos way more than still photos. I'll get a few likes with photos, but way more activity with the videos. The videos don't need to be professional, they can be amateur with your phone. I post photos for free and have the videos as PPV. Some people have both a free account with PPV, as well as a paid account.

When I get a request for a custom video, if it's something that I think others will also want to see, I just tell them I'll make the video and post it for them and others. That saves time with making custom videos, as others here have mentioned.

As far as I know, you can cross-market between OF and the cam sites. In my Chaturbate shows I post my OF info in my rotating notifier. One of my best tippers on Chaturbate is someone I message with on OF. But if this isn't allowed, someone tell me, I want to stay on the right side of things!

I am currently on a 7 day suspension from Stripchat for marketing my OF - so just a heads up, Stripchat is hot on not allowing it... And as this happened, I went on to check what CB rules say.

Chaturbate code of conduct reads as follows;

You will not advertise commercial websites that offer live webcam streams, under any circumstances; but Community Members are allowed to mention their own personal profiles, homepages and wish lists.

So, whilst they seem to be lenient with regards to OF, it is in their code of conduct not to allow it. So they can ban you for it and there is little you can do about that. To stay safe, I created allmylinks profile and just post that on the notifer and in my bio. With that, wording matters too - at least according to SC. You may say "Go check out allmylinks" but you may not say "my is OF on allmylinks"

This make me unreasonably angry. I saw a model on CB and she was wearing onlyfans socks. Another broadcasts with an OF pillow on her chair.

If the sites would offer us a bigger cut or more contests or personal achievements awards we wouldn't need peripheral sites like OF in the first place.

CB launched Peach and then completely forgot about developing it further. It's a barely functioning pic/video site.

Thanks @CallMeMaria, I appreciate this warning and the background. I definitely don’t want a suspension or ban!

Onlyfans took off quickly and I think invested in very aggressive marketing. In Italy it is like this.
I hear many complaints from performers about the rigidity of verifications and payments.
As a Webmaster I can only give a neutral opinion so I won't go too far.
They didn't approve my account for collaboration so I decided to review alternative sites. Sites that I would have reviewed anyway.
What I can say for sure:
there are other more permissive and more amateur adult social networks
working only on an adult social network doesn't seem like a good idea to me, it's better to have 3 platforms where you can sell photos and video clips, even if this involves double work.

 

[pep]

Just wanted to say I feel the same way, because I don't post any professional photoshoot pics/vids. I see other girls content that looks amazing compared to mine. But I make it clear in my bio that I post amateur selfies. Some guys like amateur stuff better and I think they are drawn to me for that reason.

 

[danielee]

I subscribe to a few models, but I use onlyfans free trial links. I follow models who take more natural photos and videos, and also one girl cosplayer. Don't be terrified of professional accounts. I think a lot of people like me are tired of this kind of content and want to see more amateur content. Honestly, these perfectly polished photos and videos from the studios don't make me excited anymore.

It's been six months now and no one has complained about quality. I'm more comfortable now with the way I advertise after having really positive feedback. This thread helped a lot, too. I've got a few guys urging me to purchase a laptop for shower shows and other stuff. It turns out it was a "you'll never know if you don't try," situation.

 

[CallMeMaria]

Recently I have had a few people ask me for a menu or a price list on OF? I have not really got one - is this a thing? I usually just reply with my custom content rates but is there something I am missing?

Besides custom rates they might've been asking for a list of your PPV videos with prices if you sell those or rates for dick ratings, sexting sessions or things like femdom tasks if you do those. That's what I've seen on other people's menus at least.
