So you’ve just started an OnlyFans account and you would like more fans. Or maybe you’re a seasoned creator looking to take your account to the next level. Wherever you are on your creator journey, we’ve put together these five ways to promote your OnlyFans account, to gain fans and get your page where you want it to be.
Social media
Social media is a simple way to promote your OnlyFans account. If you’ve built up a loyal following on a social media platform, it stands to reason that a proportion of your fans will be interested in following you on OnlyFans as well. You can post about your OnlyFans on your other social media platforms, or put your OnlyFans link in your bio.
A convenient way to promote is by connecting your Twitter account with your OnlyFans profile. You easily can do this in Settings > Account. Once your accounts are integrated, you will have the option to post automatically to Twitter every time you post on OnlyFans, easily promoting your OnlyFans page to your Twitter followers. To do this, just click the Twitter icon in the top right of the post composer. Your Twitter followers will see the first part of the text component of your post and then a link to your OnlyFans.
If you choose to share an OnlyFans post to Twitter in this way, thinking carefully about the first part of your text. It’s very effective if the shared Tweet acts like a ‘sneak preview,’ encouraging your Twitter followers to subscribe to your OnlyFans and see the full post. An added benefit of integrating Twitter is that you will get a tick next to your name on your OnlyFans profile, making your page look more professional.
Forums and websites
When discussing promoting your OnlyFans account online, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter might be the first places that come to mind, but they are far from the only options. Many creators have found success by promoting their accounts on forums or discussion sites such as Reddit. This can even work better than more general social media platforms because forums tend to be categorised by interest, allowing you to find the exact niche that fits your OnlyFans content. You may be able to find some highly interested and dedicated fans this way, as opposed to social media platforms where audiences numbers tend to be large but broad. Just remember to read the rules, as some of these online spaces have limitations on self-promotion.
Websites and newsletters
If you have a personal website, you can add your OnlyFans link there too. Many influencers use OnlyFans like a fan club for the dedicated followers who want more content and interaction, so it makes sense to advertise your account on your own website or blog, if you have one.
In recent years, there has been a rise in writers and influencers creating bespoke newsletters using platforms like Mailchimp and Substack. Amongst marketers, the data shows that email marketing frequently outperforms other marketing tools, including social media. Email can be very engaging and personal, and if someone is faithfully reading your newsletter they might dig your OnlyFans account too. If you have a newsletter or a mailing list, don’t neglect using this valuable resource to promote your OnlyFans.
Collaborations
Collaborating with another OnlyFans creator is a great way to grow both of your accounts. You can collaborate by creating content together for your respective OnlyFans feeds, or appear together in a co-stream. If you have a friend who makes content that’s similar to yours, it stands to reason that their fans will like your content too. Equally, if you have a friend whose content is a little different to yours, their true fans may be more likely to subscribe to your page if they hear about it from a trusted source, and they will be happy that the collaboration introduced them to a new kind of content. As well as the possibility of new fans, collaborative content is often fresh, fun and engaging. Collaborating really can be a win-win for everyone involved.
Promotional discounts
Probably at some point, you have been unsure about putting money down for a new product or service but an introductory deal or special offer has spurred you on. A 2018 study showed that deals and promotions not only encourage customers to make first time purchases, they also encourage loyalty. You can take advantage of this fan-winning strategy by offering promotional discounts on OnlyFans to new and expired subscribers. Discounts can be between 5% and 100% and are usually for 30 days.
