Created in 2016, the British social network OnlyFans has become a great option to monetize copyrighted materials from digital influencers and content producers. No wonder, the amounts paid annually to content creators exceed US$ 3 billion. But after all, what is OnlyFans? In this article we will explain everything you need to know.
What is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is an adult content social network where users can share photos, videos and texts with their followers. The platform was created in 2016 by television producer Tim Stokely, with the aim of offering an alternative way for digital artists and influencers to earn money from their content.
One of the advantages is that the content is really restricted. If the account requires a paid subscription, for example, only those who take the scorpion out of their pocket will have the right to view the published materials. And that ends up creating a close relationship between influencers and subscribers.
Although much of the content on OnlyFans is intended for an adult audience, it is still possible to use the platform to sell artistic works, videos and drawings, or even teach classes on a particular topic.
If all this information served to pique your curiosity, just follow the tutorial below to create a new account on OnlyFans. It is worth remembering that you must be over 18 years old.
does OnlyFans work?
To create an account, simply go to the website or app and follow the instructions. You will need to provide some personal information, name, email address and date of birth. After that, you can start posting your content.
It is important to note that OnlyFans is a closed platform, that is, only people who follow you can see your content. This means you have to work on getting more followers, but don't worry, it's pretty simple. The tip is to always post interesting and exclusive content, so you will attract more people to your account. Another tip is to use social media to promote your work and get more followers.
For those who want to earn money
As we said, the platform is closed and only people who follow you can see your content. That means you can charge for your content, after all, people are paying to have access to it. You can create a monthly, weekly or annual subscription plan. You decide the price of your subscription and people pay to access your content.
You can also offer extra content, like exclusive videos or photos, which your followers can enjoy. This is a great way to earn extra money and also build customer loyalty.
OnlyFans: free or do you have to pay?
OnlyFans is free for anyone who wants to create an account and start posting their content. However, as we've already said, you can charge for your content and offer extra materials that can be enjoyed by your followers.
Create an account – step by step:
The first step is to enter the site through this link. You can log in via your Google account or your Twitter account. If you prefer to create an account “from scratch”, just click on “Sign up for OnlyFans.”.
On the open page, you will need to add an email, set a password and choose a username. After filling in all the data, click on “Register”.
First of all, it will be necessary to confirm the creation of the account using the email provided (this will make the message at the top of the screen disappear). Once this is done, click on the avatar icon and go to “Settings”.
In “Profile”, it will be possible to define the user's @, as well as the profile picture, page cover, biography and other data that will be displayed on the page. It is worth checking the “Account”, “Privacy and security” and “Notification settings” sections to add accounts or change available options.
Now it's time to add the bank details. If the intention is to create an account to subscribe to some content, the process is easier. Just click on the avatar icon again and access “Your cards”.
Click on “Add card” and fill in all requested data (which includes country, address, as well as card information). Press “Send” at the end of the process.
For those who want to become a content producer, the process is a little more complicated. Access the avatar icon and choose the “Add bank” option.
You will need to perform all requested actions, from adding a profile picture to taking a picture — important to do the process through a camera device — holding your document. After OnlyFans confirms the identities, it will be possible to add the bank details to receive the money from the subscriptions.
Once this is done, new content creators will have to go back to their profile settings and access “Subscription price and packages” to set a value for their content.
Those who opened the account to subscribe, should search for the desired profiles and register. It is important to note that free subscriptions also require the user to have added a bank card to their account.
