There is a lot of talk about OnlyFans, but you may not really know what this platform really is. You may even wonder if this is a platform that you should use to earn an income. With other subscription-based services, you may want to learn more about this option and whether or not it’s the best choice for you. By reading on, you can learn everything that you need to know about OnlyFans.
What is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans was launched back in 2016 as a subscription-based platform for social media, where the users are able to buy and sell original content. This content is typically pornographic in nature. The creators will lock some or all of their content behind a paywall, which means that users can only access this for either a tip (one-off payment) or a monthly fee. Since its launch, OnlyFans statistics show that OnlyFans has grown to over 1 million content creators and has paid over $600 million to the creators on the website.
The monthly subscription prices that the content creators are allowed to charge are between $4.99 and $49.99 every month. OnlyFans will retain a 20% fee of this money. Creators can also offer free content to get people to pay for their paywall content. There is a limitation for how much someone can make per subscription or tip on this site. In addition to the $49.99 maximum for subscriptions, there is also a $100 maximum for tips.
How Does OnlyFans Work?
The first thing that you should know is that this is a website, not an app. The website is very easy to use. The content creators just need to upload their content to the site, then decide if they want to set their page to be subscription-only or offer free content with some content that they can only access if they pay for it. The site is free to use for content creators, but you do have to keep in mind that they charge the 20% fee on your earnings.
As the content on OnlyFans is primarily explicit content, the users must be 18 or older to use the site and have a government ID issued to prove their age when signing up. What’s good about working with OnlyFans is that the content is protected by the site, which means that it won’t be able to be shared with others outside of this platform. Should a user try to take a screenshot, the content will actually show up elsewhere blocked out. They may also be banned if they are caught trying to record or take screenshots from the site.
OnlyFans is a platform that does take privacy very seriously, which you can see by how protective they are about their creators’ content. They even reportedly have a DMCA team that is solely focused on protecting content.
Becoming an OnlyFans Creator
This platform can only be used by subscribers or creators, one of the many ways that OnlyFans is unique when compared to other social medial platforms. If you want to become a content creator on OnlyFans, you need to add your financial information and then begin uploading your content. You can create your own pricing, which can be between $4.99 and $49.99 with a $5 minimum tip. Your payment cycle is every 21 days, where you get 80% of the money earned with the rest being collected by OnlyFans as their fee.
Start the process by clicking the “Sign Up” button when you go to the page. You will need to fill out the information and confirm your email address before you can start filling out your profile. You should be sure to take the time to personalize it and connect any other accounts that you want to, such as an Amazon Wishlist. You will also need your ID when filling out the information because you need to upload an image of your government issued ID to prove that you are 18 as well as a selfie of you with your ID. When you’ve completed the information, you just need to click “Send for Approval”. You can start earning when your account has been approved and you have completed your banking information.
Making Money on OnlyFans
Now that you know what OnlyFans is and how to become a content creator, it can help to know exactly how you can make money from this platform.
