How To Start An OnlyFans And Make Money Instantly

Starting an OnlyFans is a great way to make money fast. The platform pays regularly once you gain an audience.

In this article, I’m going to show you how to generate income from your OnlyFans account.

What Is OnlyFans?

OnlyFans is a video content subscription service founded in 2016 by British tech entrepreneur Timothy Stokely. Since then, the service has grown exponentially in the U.K. and U.S.

The platform has been associated with sexual/erotic videos, but content creators are free to make whatever content they want to. That means if you can come up with something creative, people will pay for it.

How Does OnlyFans Work?

OnlyFans allows content creators to monetize by getting users to pay for video subscriptions. This makes you your own business.

The content you create is only available to those that pay you a monthly fee. Here’s what OnlyFans pays you:

As of this writing, for the first four months you can get a maximum $100 in tips. It then increases to $200.

The payout period is currently 21 days, which is an increase of 14 days.

When you sign up for an account, it’s important that you use your real name. The reason is because that is where your payment information will be directed.

Is OnlyFans Safe?

OnlyFans is safe for creators as well as subscribers. For all transactions the site uses a secure third-party payment vendor.

You can also fall victim to having your content reposted on external websites, but you have avenues you can take to get the videos removed.

That being said, you may attract some perverts or people that think you’re easy. Remember this tips.

Youtube vlogger Payton B says, “Be careful with what you post. If you post uncensored, if you post nude, be mindful that anybody can take your content and repost it.”

She says she made more than $20,000 her first month on OnlyFans. She did it by promoting herself on SnapChat and Twitter. “I made a lot of money,” she says on her Youtube video.

“I tell people right away that there’s no nudity on my OnlyFans, but I do make it look good. You have to have that sex appeal, you have them say, ‘What am I spending my money for?”

How To Make Money With OnlyFans

OnlyFans is popular because it has several streams of revenue built into the platform.

You can make money on OnlyFans the following ways:

  • Subscriptions
  • Pay-per-view messages
  • DMs
  • Tips

OnlyFans has an internal messaging system, so you have a built-in email list that you can sell to exclusively.

“I only reached 70 followers on the account, so honestly don’t worry about who’s following you. Who’s clicking that link is what matters. My subscription was $5.99 a month,” she says.

“Please don’t feel like you need to have all these subscribers … for small anonymous accounts, making money through those tips, through those posts and being active [is key].”

OnlyFans content creator Mella Barbie says that “You don’t really have to sell your actual self, like sexual s— that you’re not comfortable selling, like me, I really just do like mad trick videos and I do post my boobs because my boobs are cute and I’m confident in things like that.”

She says she’ll also do twerking videos and pictures. But not everyone is a sex worker. It’s all up to you!

Final Words

ONlyFans is one of those sites that you need to be consistent with if you’re going to really make some money.

“Make sure you know your boundaries, know your limits,” Payton B says.

Once you find a niche that works for you, it works best if you expand the content expeditiously, so that you can grow an audience. Once you get an audience, you have a better chance of making money.
