You’ve probably been wondering how a lot of influencers are monetising and growing their online presence so quickly. The answer for many of them is signing up as a content creator on OnlyFans. With up to 500,000 people joining everyday, they now have the opportunity to connect with their fans on a more personal level.
No matter what your passion and the size of your fanbase, you can be successful on OnlyFans. Even if you only have a small following, you can make a great deal of money on the platform. So, if you’re considering starting an account but feeling unsure, here’s why you should start an OnlyFans in 2021.

You can monetise your following and make the most of it
As we all know, it’s extremely hard for many people to grow a social media following. It’s especially difficult when you’re working a 9-5 job, studying full-time, juggling family life or even running a business, as many of our creators do. In addition to this, many platforms expect creators to contend with the algorithm, pay for ads or sell their souls just to get a follow or achieve engagement.
However, with OnlyFans, you don’t have to deal with any of this! There are no specific times you need to post, no major analytics and no ‘trends’ you’re obliged to jump on, meaning you can be as spontaneous as you like when posting content. Your followers receive notifications every time you post and they can enjoy a cleaner timeline dedicated to you and the creators they truly want to subscribe to. This means that all eyes are fully engaged on your exclusive content – and you can make money. To figure out your earning potential, check out our OnlyFans calculator and see how much you could make on the platform.

It’s free to join and safe to use
You don’t need to pay money to sign up to OnlyFans because it’s free to join the platform. OnlyFans is safe to use because your sensitive information (like your name and address) is fully encrypted, and you can secure your account with two-step verification and restrict what viewers see on your profile. This protects your content and puts you in control.
There are numerous benefits you can enjoy on the platform
There are many ways you can monetise your OnlyFans account: paid messages, tipping, paid posts, live streaming and subscription packages.
Paid Messages
One way to monetise your content is through paid messages, which allow your fans to pay to view your exclusive content via private messaging. This is a premium tool and you can set the price how you see fit.
Tipping
Our tipping feature can be added to any post, live stream or message of your choice. Tips can also be presented to you by your subscribers at any point and they can simply hit the tipping button on your profile if they’re enjoying your content.
Paid Posts
With OnlyFans you can easily monetise your posts, even if you have a free account, and it’s pretty simple to do. Create a post as usual, then hit the ‘$’ icon before you publish.
Live Streaming
A live stream is a fantastic way to connect with your audience in ‘real-time’ and show the real you. Remember: your fans want to know more about your life, so why not give them a taste of that as it happens? It can be raw and authentic or as polished as you like.
Subscription Packages
A subscription bundle is a simple way of discounting your subscription price to your OnlyFans profile for your fans. You can offer 1, 3, 6, or 12-month subscriptions packages at a reduced rate, adding value to your content and enticing your audience to stay subscribed to your account for a longer period of time.
As a creator, you have total freedom over your own content
At OnlyFans, we welcome influencers from a variety of industries (such as food, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, travel, sport, music, photography and self-love) and we absolutely pride ourselves on giving creators the freedom over their own content. This means that you can be your own boss and post whatever takes your fancy – without many restrictions.
